Chapter 153 The hunter becomes the prey

Yuan An looked at the Lantern Festival and said, "They are all from the Tang family. Are you considered to be a killer of the relatives for justice?"

Yuanxiao spat, "Bah! The whole family is bullshit! I want to kill me! He is unkind, so don't blame me for being innocent!" As he was speaking, several gunshots came from a distance.

Yuanxiao looked at that direction, "It seems that Tang Jian'an is still trying to make the Kui! Let's go over quickly, and we can't let this bastard succeed!" We exchanged glances. Although it's better to have more things than to have less, we really can't let Tang Jian'an and others leave it alone.

We walked carefully in the direction of the gunfire. On the way, I asked Yuanxiao softly, "If you really meet Tang Jian'an, can you really do it?"

Yuanxiao was slightly stunned and silent. I knew what he thought. Although Yuanxiao said more ruthless than anyone else, he would definitely not be able to let him hit the bullet into Tang Jianan's head. But when I saw it, Tang Jianan didn't think so. I patted Yuanxiao on the shoulder: "At that time, I must be careful, Tang Jianan is different from you."

We followed the footprints all the way. At the beginning, Kui's footprints were quite obvious, but Tang Jian'an and his team seemed to be deliberately hiding. However, as we went deeper, perhaps because the pursuit became more and more intense, more human footprints appeared.

It made us more relaxed in pursuit, and at the same time we also accelerated. Suddenly, dense gunfire came from deep in the dense tree roots ahead again!

Yuanxiao whispered: "Not good! Listening to this voice, they probably have caught up with Kui. Now that one-legged cow is in danger!! My uncle!"

Yuan An waved his hand, "Quick!!"

Such dense gunfire was obviously a bit overwhelmed. Their attention was restrained, and now was a good time to attack! We were no longer as cautious as before, and we let go and move forward quickly.

I could hear that the gunshots were moving quickly, and they were probably chasing them! We followed the gunshots and soon saw that the ground began to become chaotic, and many of the roots were broken by bullets.

While observing the changes around us, we moved forward. I guess we were not far from the place where the battle was fought, but soon we discovered the problem. It didn't look like traces left by pursuit. Many equipment began to be discarded, and some were covered in blood.

Based on these clues, Tang Jianan and the others who shot the gun did not seem to be chasing Kui, but rather they were running for their lives!

This discovery made us wonder. Could it be that Kui had already started to defend and counterattack?! Several of us communicated for a while and decided to rush over to see the situation as quickly as possible.

The roots here are getting denser. When we run, we have to dodge the hanging roots. Moreover, due to the obstruction of these roots, the range of illumination by flashlight has become more limited. Many tree roots are like monsters hiding in the dark, which looks a bit terrible.

I ran forward for a while, and the gunshots that sounded very dense just now suddenly stopped. Tian Laosi, who was in front, immediately signaled everyone to stop. We observed around and found that the traces on the ground were not as dense and messy as before. These abnormal phenomena made me feel that something might have happened!

However, we were still worried about fraud. So we divided into two groups of people and surrounded each other from the left and right directions. Once we encountered any situation, we could respond to each other.

A large number of tree roots in front were knocked down and chaotic, and we had to use the help of a short knife to cut a way through.

Just after we advanced more than ten meters in a difficult situation, the front was suddenly wider, and the roots hanging from above were much looser than before.

At this moment, there was silence around us. We carefully looked at the situation ahead, but found that there were many things scattered on the ground not far away. I bent down and moved slowly, and saw a backpack that was thrown on the ground, with a large hole being torn off.

What surprised me was that the hole seemed to be torn hard. You should know that this kind of backpack is a professional outdoor backpack with extremely strong fabrics. If you don’t use tools, it is basically impossible to tear it directly. Yuanxiao and the others also came over and I threw the backpack to them, and they also had an incredible expression on their faces.

When the gunshots disappeared just now, I felt something was wrong. Now the whole space is silent, as if the air is frozen, but under this silence, there seems to be a fatal crisis hidden.

Yuanxiao squatted down and picked up a gun, pulled out the magazine, and the bullets inside had already been exhausted. Yuanxiao illuminated the gun with a flashlight, then placed it under his nose and smelled it, turned to look at us and said, "The smell of blood!" Hearing this, our faces couldn't help but change.

Something must have happened here just now, which turned Tang Jian'an and the others from hunters into prey. We stood up and continued to search forward. Sure enough, a large amount of blood began to appear on the ground. I guess the scene just now must be very tragic.

Uncle Second waved at us, "What's wrong here! Be careful!!"

We nodded and walked forward. Just after we walked around a tree root, we suddenly found that there were many sacrificial pools in front of us. These sacrificial pools were built in fan shapes, and the deeper they went in, the tighter they tightened.

These sacrificial pools are symmetrical in pairs and are arranged forward. Each one is trapped in about two-thirds of the ground. One-third of the ground is built with rocks. There is also a human-shaped statue carved on it. It looks lifelike, but it also makes people feel a little weird. The only difference is that there is a blood-red gem on the foreheads of these statues. I think the original intention of the sculptors at that time was to make the specifications here look more noble, but now I don’t see any high specifications, but instead I feel that these statues have a hint of monster.

In the gaps between these sacrificial ponds, there are some round stone pillars carvings, and I don’t know what Feng Shui plate it is.

We looked around but didn't see a single figure. So we walked carefully to the sacrificial ponds. I raised my flashlight and shone it inside, and immediately felt my scalp numb.

I saw a person lying at the bottom of the sacrificial pool, obviously no breath. A lot of blood was flowing under him. The blood gathered and finally flowed into the deep hole in the middle of the bottom of the pool. Yuanxiao came over and looked at it, and said, "This should be Tang Jian'an's man? But why did he die here?"

"Is it Kui killed it?" I guessed.

"If there is such a possibility, there is nothing else here except us and that Kui," as he said that, Lanxiao suddenly looked shaking, "No, there is also this kind of flesh-sucking monster!"

I shook my head, "It is unlikely that kind of insects. First of all, those insects have special living environments. We have seen it just now. They will not leave this sacrificial pond. In addition, if they are killed by that kind of insect, they will not have so much blood."

Yuanxiao thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's all that Kui can do, or he himself fell down."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the most reasonable explanation we could think of, but it still sounded far-fetched.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, there is also a dead body in this pool!"

We quickly ran over and saw that in another sacrificial pool, there was a person who died in a pool of blood. A large amount of blood was splattered everywhere, but the interior of these sacrificial pools was particularly smooth, and especially for blood. Blood flowed on it, like water dripping on lotus leaves, which looked extremely smooth. The blood splashed elsewhere flowed to the bottom of the pool again and finally flowed into the deep hole in the middle.

And that deep hole looked like a beast that only devoured human blood.

Yuan An raised his flashlight and looked at the stone pillars on the ground around him, and said, "It seems that this area should be near the center. We'd better check it out. The blood here has not dried up, which means they haven't died for a long time, so be careful and don't make a rash move!"

We scattered and moved forward along these sacrificial pools. What made me feel more and more uneasy was that we found dead bodies in each sacrificial pool, all of which died shortly after they were dead, and blood flowed. This scene was really creepy.

Uncle Er who saw this scene immediately stopped and said, "No! It's too wrong here. I don't think we can act rashly!"

Yuanxiao nodded and agreed with the second uncle's point of view. "Although these Tang guys are not as good as my father's men, they are still experienced. They have lost so much here at this time, and there must have been an unimaginable accident here!"

After hearing the words of Yuanxiao and his second uncle, Yuan An frowned slightly, but did not refute. At this moment, a slight noise came from the darkness not far ahead.

In the deadly environment, this sound was like a heavy hammer, which made my heart tremble violently. Not only me, but everyone was shocked.

We were stunned for a moment, and then walked carefully in the direction where the sound came out. The sound should have come from behind a sacrificial pool. Second Uncle led us, and Yuan An and Yuan family approached the sacrificial pool from two directions. After walking to the front, Second Uncle and Yuan An gave a wink, and then everyone rushed forward, and more than a dozen flashlights were shining at the same time. In an instant, I saw clearly the situation behind the sacrificial pool. Several people were sitting there curled up, trembling constantly.
