Chapter 118 Mysterious Monster
Looking at the sky again, there was nothing except a few clouds. The sound was just a sound and it didn't appear again. There was nothing unusual in the sky, not even the wind.
However, both of them heard the strange sound, and this would never be an illusion. It was impossible for both of them to have hallucinations at the same time, especially when Sanders was still a level 8 master.
The sound was very similar to the sound of some warship engines, but there was nothing in sight. Maybe it was just passing aircraft.
After a long time of careful observation, there was nothing unusual. The two looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. In the end, Sanders shrugged: "Maybe it was some thunder or something. Who knows?"
After resting for enough time, I set off again. It is easier to distinguish the direction from the forest during the day, and with the guy Sanders there, I don’t expect to get lost. Zhao Li didn’t know where the destination was, so he just followed Sanders forward.
They were on the road for two days and two nights. If there was any danger, Zhao Li and Sanders could solve it. After all, there were no high-end species at the top of the food chain. To be honest, there were not many of these things on earth.
Almost all the way was to eat raw meat and drink blood. In the dense forest, Sanders strictly supervised Zhao Li. He did not allow fires and was carried out completely according to the way of survival in the jungle, fully demonstrating the role of an instructor. Even if Zhao Li encountered any problems, he did not help, but asked Zhao Li to solve them himself.
This time, the training along the road was much more professional than what Zhao Li organized last time. Zhao Li did practice the theoretical knowledge he had learned at that time.
The strange sounds I heard two days ago never appeared again, and both of them thought nothing was wrong. However, just as Zhao Li was carefully burying the traces he passed by, suddenly, another crisp gunshot sound came from a distance.
This time, not only Zhao Li, but also Sanders also heard it clearly. While looking at each other, there was a series of gunfire.
"Assault rifle, fired in a row, at least four people were firing." Sanders is a gun expert. He had already determined the number of people firing there after hearing the sound coming.
However, this is a dense forest in the dense forest, and even drug dealers and local farmers cannot go deeper. How can there be gunfire? Listen to the location of the gunfire, it is about a few kilometers away from here.
The two looked at each other. Sanders decisively took out the dry food that he had prepared but had not used. They used local materials to maintain energy these two days. Now there is gunfire, but they can't help but continue training.
After quickly gnawing the dry food, the two of them rested silently for twenty minutes. After thinking about the gunshots over there, they stopped ringing, but Zhao Li and Sanders still looked in that direction and slowly touched them.
It's a few kilometers away. It usually takes twenty minutes, but this time I have to hide my whereabouts and walk carefully. I have already held the assault rifle that has been placed in my backpack in my hand. The situation is wrong now and I need to be careful.
The place where the gunfire just started was very obvious. Not only did the strong smell of gunpowder in the air clearly pointed out the direction for Zhao Li, but along the smell of gunpowder, he saw bullet holes on some tree trunks at a distance.
There is no need to tell carefully. The four corpses lying there have already explained everything. Four soldiers in military uniforms were holding the assault rifle tightly in their hands. Each of them had several long blood marks on their chests, and one of them was still in their throat, which should be a fatal wound.
There was a mess around. Similar scratches could be seen on several trees. The four soldiers were full of surprise, and their expressions of dying with their eyes surprised Zhao Li and Sanders.
"What did they see?" He walked carefully to the edge of the corpse. His blood had condensed and his body temperature had lost. He could not die anymore, and there was no hope of rescue. He could only stand among the few of them and looked at the messy scenes around him. He probably had something happened. The corpses looked very well equipped. In addition to guns and weapons, there was also a single-soldier communication system. Unfortunately, the equipment on the four people was caught and there was no way to use it.
"The bullets are distributed very scattered. If either the targets appear around them, the targets move too fast." Encouraged by Sanders' gaze, Zhao Li expressed his guess.
Sanders also believed that the purpose of these people shooting was very debatable. Apart from the bloodstains of a few soldiers on the scene, only blood was found in the scratches around them, but it was not ruled out that the blood on the bodies of these soldiers.
"The target terrain is not very large. The normal human body shape." From the surrounding traces, he could barely judge the size of the target. Sanders was experienced and began to guide Zhao Li.
What is this? It is about the same size as a human. However, the wild beasts with five fingers and claws have no effect on the speed of the time. There is no fur falling off around it, so it is basically impossible to tell what it is.
"Let's go!" After a few minutes of watching, Sanders decisively gave Zhao Li an order. Zhao Li also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it, and followed Sanders away without saying a word.
The two of them were not far away and they heard the sound of someone passing through the dense forest. At this point, Sanders was a master, and Zhao Li could barely be considered a little master. Their cooperation was very tacit. Sanders signaled in sign language, and the two of them took action together, silently climbing the tree trunk and climbing upwards.
In the air more than ten meters above the ground, the two of them carefully hid their bodies among the prosperous branches and leaves. The original jungle camouflage hidden their bodies very secretly, so there is no need to worry that anyone can discover it.
"Quick, fast, the seven groups of four people have lost contact. Search carefully and do not leave any obvious traces." Five or six people appeared in the forest, wearing military uniforms, slowly approaching in this direction with a standard jungle marching queue. Several people were observing the surroundings while walking, and looked up a few times, but Zhao Li and Sanders hid well and were not discovered for a while.
When several people searched and could no longer hear the sound, Sanders moved slightly. The two of them stayed in the air and communicated with each other in visible gestures.
"Who are they?" Zhao Li asked.
"I don't know! Active-duty soldiers, I don't know which army belongs." Sanders' answer.
...
After a long time of communication, the two of them determined their action plan, slowly slid down the tree and touched in that direction again. Fortunately, they were more careful when they left just now, and there were no obvious traces left, otherwise they would definitely be discovered. But for the time being, there were no need to worry about this. It seemed that although those people were careful in marching, they had loopholes and could see the direction of their journey at a glance. Even if they discovered it, they probably only thought it was the traces left by the seven groups.
Keeping the distance that can be seen occasionally in sight. Zhao Li and Sanders carefully observed the actions of those people. It was not that they were both troublesome, but this place was still affiliated with the Golden Five-Star area, but because of the dense forest, no one has been active here. There are actually people in the military who are operating here, which is very abnormal.
If those people are special forces soldiers and performing missions here, Zhao Li can think that they are performing special tasks to train soldiers, but those people are obviously just ordinary soldiers.
Another reason. I have never heard of any beasts here. After all, no matter what, this place is just an immigrant planet. All the biospheres are brought from the earth, and large beasts cannot exist at all. If there is any strong nuclear radiation, it may cause mutation. Unfortunately, there is no such condition here. If it is just natural selection, it will never be possible to produce such mutated beasts in just one or two hundred years.
In this case, the purpose of those people here is very interesting. Especially Sanders, who came here to find those rare life-saving sand. If others knew about it, wouldn't it be a waste? When it comes to worry, Sanders is even more serious than Zhao Li.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a gray shadow in his vision. Zhao Ligang thought he was dazzled. He was about to turn to another direction, but a messy sound came from the other side, mixed with gunshots.
Hiding behind, Zhao Li and Sanders stared at that direction in a while. Although the distance was a bit far and they could only see some shadows, they were still very clearly seeing a figure flying around with gunfire. But from time to time, screams came. The shadow was very fast, and a few screams came soon, and then there was no sound.
"What is that?" Zhao Li looked at the figure that was looming and asked Sanders next to him.
"I don't know, I didn't see clearly." Sanders was not sure. The figure was moving too fast, not a normal human being at all, and he could vaguely see some hair like a beast. It's hard to say what it was.
"What should I do? Do you want to go and have a look?" Zhao Li looked at Sanders. This time he was helping Sanders with his work, and the command was naturally in the hands of Sanders.
"Don't be too troublesome. Be careful." Sanders didn't seem to want to pass the gunshots there: "I don't know the identities of those people yet, so don't make any troubles."
Sanders' words make sense, the main problem is that he doesn't know the identities of those soldiers. Moreover, he is so mysterious that he is not a special warrior, which makes people doubt their motives.
This time, Zhao Li and Sanders raised their vigilance to the extreme and slowly touched the place far away from that direction. Try not to alarm the unknown monster. The gunfire there has stopped. If it is estimated that it is good, the group of six people will be in danger.
A strange sound came from the left front. Zhao Li took off his gun and was about to shoot in that direction, but Sanders quickly suppressed his hand and shook his head gently at him.
"Be careful, there are weird things here, don't easily expose our location." After all, Sanders is a hundred times stronger than Zhao Li in actual combat experience. When encountering this situation, he will naturally make a suitable judgment.
The movement just now was not the movement in the ordinary dense forest. Although Zhao Li was not allowed to shoot, Sanders still pulled out the military sect, listened carefully to the other side, and observed the movements around him vigilantly.
The sounds in the jungle never stopped, but this time, even Zhao Li felt danger. A strange sound came from far to near, as if something was climbing the branches of the trees and was rushing towards this side.
Zhao Li imitated Sanders's appearance, pulled out the military sect, put on a vigilant posture, and stared carefully at the direction where the sound was heard.
Sweeping, a figure appeared, and the gray-white military uniform was extremely dazzling in the jungle. Before Zhao Li could react, the figure on the opposite side had already rushed towards him. The figure was still in the air and saw the sharp claws on its hands like a pile of daggers.
The opponent's figure came too fast, and Zhao Li's army's stamina had only time to cross and block in front of him. He heard a jingle sound, and the stamina that he held with all his strength was as if he was hit by a shock hammer. He flew out of his hand and flew to the side at high speed.
With a clear sound, the military spear was firmly inserted into the trunk of a big tree not far away, and it was so deep that the military spear didn't even tremble.
The moment the army speared out, Zhao Li stepped back quickly with force. Even so, the clothes on his chest were still streaked by the monster's sharp claws. The bulletproof vests worn outside made a sound that made people sore, breaking three holes.
If he missed a blow, the monster seemed to change direction immediately and climbed upwards along the tree trunk next to him, without seeing any awkwardness at all.
Zhao Li was sweating in an instant, and after a look, he lost his weapon without even touching his opponent. However, at this time, he was too late to hurry. The monster climbed up without two steps, and took advantage of the height to pounce on him again.
The snow-white claws stained with blood were penetrated towards him like a small sword. Zhao Li didn't even think about it and reached out to grab the claw. When his finger touched the other party, he immediately used the nameless martial art that had been practiced as instinctively. At the same time, at this moment, the left shoulder seemed to be shot by a sharp arrow, and there was a burst of impact pain.
The monster in the air let out a shrill howl and his body quickly retreated. However, one of the sharp claws had been caught by Zhao Li. Taking advantage of its retreating momentum, Zhao Li turned his wrist and made a rasp sound. Then, with a lighter in his hand, only a white claw with some blood was left, and he was still grasping Zhao Li's hand.
There were three holes the size of a finger appeared on the outer shoulder on the left shoulder. Facing the monster's sharp claws, this military-style bullet vest was simply like a piece of paper and had no effect at all.
