"Who was captured?" Faced with such a situation, Eric Jr. gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
"Dave! His shoelace came loose, so he stopped to tie it up. I was standing next to him at first, but before I walked a meter, I saw him quickly retreat, as if he was being dragged by something. I chased after him with all my might, but I couldn't catch up … "The soldier who was a good friend of the missing soldier was very depressed, but of course, he was secretly glad. If he had stopped to wait for his companion, he might have been captured by the monster in the dark as well.
"Did you see what it was?" Eric Jr. wanted to know the truth.
"I didn't see it clearly. It was hiding behind Dave, and it was too fast. It disappeared in an instant." It wasn't just the soldier who said this. The other soldiers who witnessed the incident also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see the monster.
"Judging from the traces on the ground, it might be a large snake!" Professor Jeffery carefully examined the drag marks on the ground and came to a conclusion.
"Mr. Wood?" Eric Jr. looked at Lin Dong's face.
"I can't be sure what it is. Maybe it's a snake, or maybe it's something else. There's too little information." Lin Dong waved his hand.
"All squads take turns to guard the back. Keep two people watching the back at all times. If anything happens, immediately report it. If a monster appears, immediately open fire. Also, all squads pay attention to the details. Don't stop tying your shoelace because it's loose again. You have to know that any negligence could be fatal. Seeing that your companion is alone, all members of the squad help each other and provide enough vigilance for your companion's safety! " Eric Jr. had no choice but to give the order to set off again. Now, the soldiers not only had to pay attention to the unknown monster in front of them, but they also had to pay attention to the traps under their feet. They even had to pay attention to the attacks behind them. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, but at this point, they had to leave even if they didn't want to.
Lin Dong was protected in the middle of the team.
Fox suddenly moved closer.
Her red lips seemed to want to kiss him. She pressed them against his ear and said, "You must know about that monster!"
Lin Dong was speechless. "Miss Fox, may I ask how you can tell? Sometimes I really admire your imagination. A monster that I've never seen before, yet you're so sure that I know it. What kind of reasoning is that? "
"I saw it from the faint disdain in your eyes when you told Professor Jeffery that it was a serpent," Fawkes said in a serious tone.
"You're mistaken!" Lin Dong refused to admit it.
You can even see the faint disdain in my eyes?
Not to mention the fact that there was no such thing.
Yes, there is.
You wouldn't be able to see it in such a dark environment!
In fact, Fox just had an intuition. If Lin Dong didn't want to admit it, she couldn't do anything about it. She was just testing him just now.
After going around and around in the tunnel for about an hour, the space in front of him suddenly opened up. A pyramid with the characteristics of the Mayans stood tall in front of him. The two female soldiers in charge of escorting Lin Dong took the opportunity to introduce it to Lin Dong. "The base of this Mayan pyramid is 225 meters long, 222 meters wide, and 65 meters high. Its volume is one million cubic meters. In addition, it has a total of 365 steps, which is equivalent to the rotation of the Earth around the sun. The top floor is the temple. It's temporarily abandoned for unknown reasons. "
"Maybe it's not abandoned. It's just that you guys haven't researched it yet! The Mayan civilization is not that easy to crack. "Fox giggled.
"Do you want to go up and take a look?" The female soldier asked for Lin Dong's opinion.
"No need." Lin Dong paused and said, "The temple is here. It won't run away. We can study it on the way back. Everyone is moving forward. I can't affect them because of my own interests. If they don't stop, I can't guarantee your safety. So, I've decided that when I come back, if there's enough time, I'll go up and take a look. "
"Thank you, Mr. Wood. You're a very considerate gentleman!" The female soldier was very happy to hear that.
"I don't think he's a gentleman!" Fox disagreed. She was still upset about Lin Dong watching the Red-knee Spider climb up his little butt.
Lin Dong decided to keep his mouth shut.
Trying to reason with an unreasonable woman?
The real reason why he didn't go up to the temple to study was not because he was considerate of the female soldiers around him. It was because Lin Dong thought that if there was anything worth studying in the underground pyramid, it would have been moved back to the base by the Mayflower Formation. Why would they leave it there for him to come? Most importantly, through his senses, Lin Dong found that it was really a dilapidated place. There was no aura fluctuation worth paying attention to at all.
They went around the pyramid.
They walked forward for about an hour.
Eric Jr. ordered the soldiers to rest for ten minutes and then continue on their way.
They then chose between two forks. This time, Eric Jr. chose the right side of the fork with a skull warning sign that represented death.
After walking for less than five minutes, the terrain of the tunnel gradually went down and became steeper. In some places, the slope was more than 40 degrees. The soldiers carrying heavy backpacks were very painful to walk. However, they couldn't be careless here. They had to control their footsteps because there were many places marked with traps. If they stepped on them, they would die.
The slope was over. After turning a corner, an abyss appeared in front of them.
It was dark and bottomless.
"We have to use ropes here. It's not very deep. There's a small platform about 300 meters away. The deepest part of the ground is less than 500 meters!" Eric Jr. ordered the soldiers to gather at the capstan while explaining to Lin Dong and the others, "In order to explore this abyss, we've spent a lot of manpower. Mr. Wood, please pay attention to your safety, because there will be another world at the bottom of this abyss! It's a paradise for monsters and bugs. The winged serpents we saw before, as well as other creatures, were all captured down there. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of gunshots rang out from the abyss.
Bang, bang, bang.
A series of chaotic sounds.
The soldiers' expressions changed. They all raised their guns and pointed at the darkness around them. Right now, any movement could trigger their nervous nerves.
"Josiah, if you hear me, please respond. What's happening down there? If you hear me, please respond! "Eric Jr. immediately called Josiah, who had already reached the bottom of the abyss.
"Rustle … many bugs, rustle … we're cleaning them up. There's no danger down there for now … rustle … over." Josiah's voice came through the noise. Hearing that there was no danger, Eric Jr. let out a sigh of relief. But even so, the gunshots didn't stop. In fact, they seemed to be getting louder.
"Go down and help immediately!" Eric Jr. ordered the elite team to go down through the capstan.
"I think I see something behind us!" Griffon seemed to have discovered something.
"You're trying to scare us again!" Fox listened to Griffon's words, but every time he saw a monster, it was just an illusion.
"I really saw it. Its eyes are glowing. That must be a ghost! Only a ghost can appear and disappear, and its eyes are glowing! God, I saw it again. D * mn, it's definitely not an illusion this time. Look, look, look … "Griffon screamed.
This time, everyone saw it.
There really were monsters.
Moreover, they could fly. They spun in the sky at an astonishing speed, as if looking for a chance to hunt.
Lin Dong didn't take out his gun. Instead, he held the plane in his hand. He didn't point it at the monsters in the sky. Instead, he yelled at the soldiers not far away, "Be careful, there's something under our feet! That's a cave bat in the sky. It doesn't matter if it's bigger, it can't kill us. We need to pay attention to the crevice here. Spread out, don't get too close! "
His shout had an effect.
Many soldiers heard him and quickly retreated.
But one panicked soldier tripped when he retreated. When he got up, countless jellyfish-like things pounced on him.
The soldier's two companions wanted to reach out to pull him, but when they saw what was happening, they quickly retreated. The soldier who was stained by the jellyfish did not make any sound. His whole body trembled soundlessly, and then he fell to the ground like a tree that had been cut down.
Poisonous!
That word appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
"Fire!" Eric Jr. ordered, but Lin Dong immediately stopped him. "No, don't fire. There are too many of these monsters, and their bodies are different from normal creatures. Shooting them won't do much damage, and it might even anger them. The environment we're in now is very narrow. Once the huge monsters rush up, we'll be in great danger! "
"But they're coming towards us. Think of something!" Professor Jeffery was anxious. Not only him, but everyone else was also scared, because they saw thousands of jellyfish-like monsters crawling out of the crevice. They didn't know how many of them there were.
"You're the professor, okay?" Griffon couldn't help but complain. You want us to think of something?
"Maybe these monsters are afraid of fire!" Lin Dong guessed.
"Quick, quick, use the flamethrowers! Don't spray it on them, spray it on the ground in front of us, force them back! " Eric Jr. hurriedly ordered. Several long flames were sprayed on the ground. The jellyfish-like monsters were indeed afraid of fire, and they retreated like the tide. But after they retreated, people discovered that the soldier's body on the ground had already been corroded into a puddle of yellow liquid. Not even his clothes were left. Only the broken remains of the gun proved that its owner had once existed in this world.
"F * ck!" Griffon wasn't afraid of anything except these corrosive monsters.
"If it weren't for you, at least half of the people here would have died! The Mayflower Formation is so lucky! " The female soldier who was in charge of protecting Lin Dong used her arms to hug him tightly. Her fragrant lips kissed his handsome face lightly. "This is the interest. The real gratitude is yet to come!"
"Sister, can you convert your gratitude into money?" As soon as Lin Dong said this, Fox laughed so hard that he bent over. As the richest man in the world, he said this because he was humorous.
If a loser dared to talk to the goddess like this, the goddess would probably slap him in the face!
He was destined to be alone for the rest of his life!
Griffon patted his chest with lingering fear. "I say, these things can't be aliens, right? The more I think about it, the more I think about it. Although they don't have laser guns in their hands, they look so similar! "
Philip couldn't stand him. "Don't watch too many sci-fi movies, cough!"
Big Ivan seized the opportunity to mock Professor Jeffery. "Dear Professor Jeffery, hurry up and give these monsters a name. Don't you have the habit of rushing to name things? Anyway, the open-minded Mr. Wood won't argue with you! Alien Jellyfish sounds like a good name. What do you think, Professor? My suggestion isn't bad, right? "
Professor Jeffery was thick-skinned enough to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
He had no qualms about rushing to name things.
This was his credit.
As for the fact that the jellyfish monsters weren't driven away by him, it didn't matter. If he could handle everything himself, why would he need soldiers?
