There's something wrong with me

Chapter 74 Return [Destiny Entity Reward] (5.6K)

"go!"

The moment Zhang Feng was supported by him, he grabbed his clothes on his chest with his left hand and pulled them hard, using his strength to stand up. After he stood up completely, he changed from grabbing to palming and pushed him away with one palm.

Swish!
Zhang Feng swung his right hand upward without stopping, and the blade chopped upward.

The mouse couldn't dodge in time, and the rock wall above was too high for it, so it was as if its neck hit the blade. With a "swish" sound, a big hole was dug on the left side.

At the same time, Zhang Feng stepped back sideways to avoid the remaining force of its grab.

Snapped-

It fell to the ground, blood gushing from its neck, and struggled to get up.

Zhang Feng slashed at the wound with a knife, completely cutting off its head, and then looked at Brother Peng who was lying on the ground next to him in fear.

"Before……"

Zhang Feng wanted to say don’t bother with me just now.

But if I think about it carefully, if it weren’t for Brother Peng, I would definitely not be able to get up immediately after falling and then deal with the mouse.

Then more energy will definitely be consumed, which is not as decisive as the previous one.

"This kind of person is rare. He's obviously afraid, but he still tries to help me."

Zhang Feng shook his head, took a few steps forward, and pulled him up.
"Brother Peng, thank you very much.

But don't worry about me, because many times, the battle situation is ever-changing.

You help me, you really can help me.

But I may not be able to take care of you."

"Then I can't ignore you, can I?" Brother Peng is really a f*cking honest man, and what he said was f*cking honest words that you haven't seen in a thousand years.
“Friends are supposed to help each other.”

"That's right." Zhang Feng smiled when he saw Brother Peng like this. "I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely send you out."

"Let's go out together." Brother Peng grinned, "When I go back, I won't travel anymore. I want to live a good life..."

"Stop." Zhang Feng shook his head and looked at the people who came in later.

"Are you... okay?" They looked at the dead rat, then at Zhang Feng and Brother Peng.

Zhang Feng pointed outside and said, "You continue to guard outside, and keep the lights on at the farthest distance.

If there are any rats, notify me immediately."

"Okay!" Everyone responded and continued to stay at the door.

Zhang Feng also looked up again, "Brother Peng, help me with the light."

After saying this, Zhang Feng climbed again.

……

rustle-

The stone rolled down.

This time, Zhang Feng arrived at his previous position smoothly.

Wait until you finally turn over and get on top.

Zhang Feng saw that it was a stone platform of more than ten square meters, with obvious traces of human activity.

But there was no instruction manual or anything else.

Zhang Feng took a few glances and saw something similar to a stone basin at the edge.

When I walked over and looked inside, I saw a very protruding stone with gaps around it.

It looks like a mechanism.

Zhang Feng became interested and pressed the button at first, but didn't press it.

Then twist it.

With a clang, the chain next to it started to move, but because it was rusty, it broke with a "snap" before it could shake a few times.

But where the chains were connected, there was also a whirring sound.

Zhang Feng looked over and saw the small hole from before.

After the big rock next to it lost the drag of the chain, it slowly opened like a gate mechanism.

But it doesn't open outwards, but rather falls down at an angle.

"What's going on?" Brother Peng saw a big rock move, and he shone more lights over there.

"What's the noise?"

When Brother Liu and others outside heard the loud noise, they ran in one after another.

Then they saw that after the two sides of the gate broke away from part of the rock wall, there was a loud "crash" and it fell down, revealing the tunnel behind it.

"This is a mechanism!" Old Xing was very excited after seeing this scene, as if he saw the reappearance of some wonderful mechanisms in folk stories.

But in fact it is just a big iron chain tied to a big stone.

But it is precisely this dark environment and these bizarre creatures.

However, this simple mechanism also seems mysterious and strange.

At least everyone looked at the stone gate in amazement, and then looked at Zhang Feng who came down afterwards in amazement.

The shock of this bizarre experience, coupled with the absence of the terrifying rats, made them forget for a moment that they were in danger.

Or maybe people who like adventure and travel have bigger hearts.

"Brother Zhang! You can actually decrypt it!"

Old Xing looked at Zhang Feng excitedly, "Can you walk on mountains and watch the wind? And with your skills, you can easily kill monsters. Are you a tomb raider?"

“…” Zhang Feng paused when he heard the name, looked at Lao Xing, and then looked at the others.

They also looked at him in surprise and curiosity.

"I do know some Feng Shui and Taoism." Zhang Feng didn't like to hide anything, "I studied Yin-Yang medicine before, so I have some knowledge of these.

But this door is really not that mysterious."

Zhang Feng walked to the tunnel and looked inside.

"Eh?" Brother Peng came over and took a look inside, only to find a hole one meter away in the tunnel.

"It's connected to the big tunnel." Old Xing shone the light into the small hole outside and found that the light could shine into the big tunnel.

Zhang Feng also looked at the small hole, then at the tunnel, and suddenly said:

"I have a guess. Do you think the rats' nest is behind this rock?
This small hole is where they come in and out, or maybe it's the passage they gradually dug out, and this stone gate is the main road?
Did someone keep them in captivity or seal them away in the past?"

"nest?"

"Are you saying there are monsters behind this?"

"Then the place where we fell and those tunnels were also dug by them?"

Everyone was shocked, and all their surprise and excitement disappeared. Instead, they all moved away from the stone gate.

Zhang Feng gripped the hatchet tightly and slowly adjusted his breathing, "It doesn't matter whether our guess is right or not, or whether this door can be opened or not.

We can’t even get to the surface now.”

Zhang Feng looked towards the direction of the landslide.

"These things seemed to have discovered us, and they gathered more and more at night.

It started with four or five harassers, and then increased to six or seven.

Rather than being passive like this, I can’t rest properly…”

Zhang Feng pointed inside the tunnel and said, "Why not go straight to their lair and see what's going on inside?"

“…” No one spoke, but looked at Zhang Feng with even greater surprise.

After several seconds, Old Xing said fearfully, "Brother Zhang, we don't know how many monsters there are over there. If there are a lot of them, how are we going to escape?"

"That's right." The girl tugged at the corner of Zhang Feng's clothes, "Brother Zhang, don't take any risks."

"Zhang." Brother Liu advised, just as sparingly as ever, "Don't go."

"We definitely can't go." Brother Peng also shook his head. "To be frank, Brother Zhang, you're the most powerful person here. If anything happens to you, we'll probably..."

"Yes!" After thinking about this point, many people also advised Zhang Feng.

"I know there's danger." Zhang Feng said as he walked inside, "I understand your idea of ​​preserving the present first.

But if they keep harassing us like this, it won’t be noticeable in a short period of time.

But if we endure for a few more days, we will be so tired that we can fall asleep while standing.

By then, it was too late to say anything.

He couldn't even lift a knife, so he was just a piece of living meat.

Would you have said then that you should have listened to me?"

"I think so." Brother Peng was the first to respond, holding a flashlight and following Zhang Feng, "Indeed, we don't have many strong branches here, nor do we have any tools for polishing things.

Even if you want to set a trap, it will be difficult."

"Yes." Brother Liu also took two steps closer and shone the flashlight on the ground.

There were messy claw marks on it.

"These are the footprints that were just left." Zhang Feng took a glance and instantly identified them based on the investigation skills from the previous world.

"You mean they are nearby?" Old Xing gripped his fishing rod tightly.

"Not necessarily." Zhang Feng looked forward, "There are two possibilities now.

First, when these things saw us coming out, they might have returned to their nests.

Two, they’re still out there.

As for what the real result will be, we will know after we see it.”

Zhang Feng continued walking. After walking about fifty meters, he saw a small depression in the rock wall on the right, about three meters deep, which looked like a newly dug passage.

He retracted his gaze and looked forward again.

Further ahead in the tunnel, on the left, is a cave entrance at a corner.

Zhang Feng continued to walk forward and looked inside along the wall. He saw that it was not pitch black here. Instead, there were some underground plants and some night pearls emitting green light.

Zhang Feng had some knowledge of jade and knew that this kind of night pearl usually contained radioactive elements and could glow without absorbing external light sources.

And follow their light source.

Zhang Feng looked at the small underground forest of about several thousand square meters.

now.

"Squeak..." The mice, like monkeys, were all on the tree in the middle, eating some underground plants.

"One, two..."

Zhang Feng roughly counted them and estimated that there were at least fifty of them.

"Have we really entered a monster's lair?"

Zhang Feng felt that something was wrong for a moment, and waved his hands back to prevent everyone from rushing over.

"What's wrong?" They wanted to ask, but when they heard a squeaking sound in the distance, they knew what was inside.

"Have we really entered their lair?" Old Xing stepped back in fear.

"Don't move!" Brother Peng saw that he was about to step on a stone and hurriedly pulled him.

"Thank you..." Old Xing broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that he almost made a loud noise. "I almost attracted a bunch of rats..."

He was really scared this time.

"Retreat first..." The others did not hesitate and retreated quietly.

Zhang Feng also took a few steps back before looking at everyone and saying:

"Just sleep here."

"What?" Someone was confused. "Brother Zhang, are you sure you're not kidding? We...we sleep next to their nest?"

"Yeah." Zhang Feng nodded and said, "This way, we'll know when they come out.

And I don’t know if the mice outside have come back.

But from this side, we can see where they are coming from at a glance. Even without turning on the flashlight, we can tell whether they are approaching us just by listening to the sound.

So rather than being surrounded in the open, it’s better to just stay in that rock wall over there.”

Zhang Feng's words were indeed somewhat reasonable, but not very clever either. Any normal person could have thought of this. It was just that Zhang Feng was relatively calm, so he thought of this method first.

"Brother Zhang's method seems to be feasible..." The girl also felt that it was right, although it was scary.

"Then...?" The others didn't dare to go back alone, so what else could they do? They could only follow Zhang Feng until dark.

"I said he's not a human being." People who love to tell ghost stories are now sure that even if Zhang Feng is a good person, he's not a very good person.

……

four hours.

Zhang Feng is really carefree. He doesn't care whether others sleep well or not, as long as he sleeps soundly.

It’s just a pity for Brother Peng and the others. They seem to be neither asleep nor awake, and their spirits are tense all the time.

at the same time.

Wake up and regain your senses.

Zhang Feng also looked at everyone. He originally wanted to ask if any mice had come back, but then he thought that since they didn't call him, there was probably no mouse.

"No rats came back." Brother Peng took the initiative to talk about this matter, still holding the bottle of wine in his hand, "I wanted to make a Molotov cocktail, but I crawled over there and took a peek last night. The woods over there are very damp and there are not many trees.

Even if they did, they probably wouldn’t kill many people.”

"They can fly and hide in the ground, so it's questionable whether we can hit them." Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Since you said the rats didn't come back.

I guess, after we all got up yesterday, they went back to their nests one after another.

Now there is a high probability that these rats are inside."

"Boss Zhang." At this time, Old Xing looked at Zhang Feng and asked curiously, "Have you really fallen asleep during this period of time?"

"Yeah." Zhang Feng was stretching his body, "Because I have to work.

They have been wasting our time, and we must pay them back.”

As he spoke, Zhang Feng looked at a young man and said, "Give me your knife."

"Oh..." He didn't sleep well, and responded a little slowly, and then gave Zhang Fengdao.

Zhang Feng took one hand each and after a few tries to get used to it, he said to them, "To prevent there really are rats left outside, follow me now."

As Zhang Feng spoke, he came out from the rock wall and walked towards the monster's lair.

Faced with the issue of life and death, everyone still followed Zhang Feng quietly and came to the edge of the cave.

"You guys stay here. If a rat comes out from the back, just shout."

After Zhang Feng gave his instructions, he leaned over and looked inside. Outside the light of the luminous stone, the mice were sleeping scattered around.

Originally, Zhang Feng was thinking that if they were not asleep, he would wait a little longer.

Now, it seems that everyone is asleep.

Bend over.

Zhang Feng then groped his way into the cave amidst everyone's frightened gazes.

call-

Knife up and down.

After Zhang Feng killed the nearest mouse, he did not stop and continued to attack the other mice.

Quietly.

Zhang Feng stepped on the ground mixed with soil and stones, smelling the fragrance of grass in the air, and killed all fifteen rats outside in a short time.

But the remaining mice were in the large flat area in the middle.

And at this time, as Zhang Feng continued to move forward.

Squeak!

A mouse hiding behind a rock in the distance also discovered Zhang Feng.

"Squeak!"

The alarm sounds from their companions also woke up the surrounding mice.

Their cries echoed in the cave, and their scarlet eyes looked even more eerie under the illumination of the luminous stone. They also saw Zhang Feng retreating.

Wow!

They ran one after another, chasing after Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng also retreated to the vicinity of the cave entrance at this time.

"Brother Zhang... be careful..." Brother Peng and others held axes and looked at Zhang Feng's back nervously.

"Hmm." Zhang Feng spoke through his nasal cavity, but this time he was as frugal with his words as Brother Liu, in order to adjust and mobilize the strength and energy of his whole body.

Ta-ta-ta—

At this moment, the group of rats in the distance also slowly groped over.

When they saw Zhang Feng at the entrance of the cave, they squeaked louder and walked faster and faster.

"Ten meters... five meters..."

Zhang Feng counted silently without moving.

Until the first mouse came to a distance of two meters and suddenly pounced and bit.

Zhang Feng suddenly took half a step forward, and swung the blade upwards at an angle. With a "squeak", the blade passed through its chin from below.

At the same time, Zhang Feng twisted his waist and slashed back. The blade stirred up dark red blood, and three heads flew up with the sound of sticky blood.

Corpses and heads tumbled down.

Zhang Feng stood with two swords in his hands, looking at the mouse that suddenly stopped moving.

After a while, a stronger mouse squeaked and pounced on Zhang Feng again.

Swish!
Zhang Feng stepped back, holding his sword in his right hand while slashing with his left sword. When he retreated to the cave entrance again, he also split the head of the rat that was rushing towards him a little.

Tick—

But the tiger's mouth, stained with its blood, paused as it slid down the blade.

Zhang Feng exhaled slowly and saw that the blade of his left knife had curled up.

"Knife!"

Zhang Feng shouted briefly towards the back, his eyes alert to the remaining monsters.

There were three people holding knives in the back.

Brother Peng was stunned for half a second. He was also mentally exhausted after not having rested for a long time.

"Zhang! Left!" Brother Liu threw the knife directly away.

Zhang Feng was in a highly tense state of mind. Hearing the sound of the wind, he turned sideways to the left and grabbed the handle of the hatchet.

At the same time, three large rats saw Zhang Feng facing them sideways and ran towards him again.

Zhang Feng glanced at them sideways, the muscles in his right arm overclocked, he turned around and swept across, the powerful force made the hatchet seem to turn into a ray of light.

With a crisp sound, a mouse's head was chopped off.

He adjusted the blade slightly, and with the remaining power, he cut off half of the second mouse's head.

With his remaining strength exhausted, Zhang Feng turned around to avoid the third rat's attack, and with his left hand, he slashed upwards and beheaded the third rat.

call-

Take a short breath.

Zhang Feng adjusted his breath again and looked at the remaining monsters.

"Squeak..."

They cried out in low voices in fear.

When Zhang Feng saw them panicking, he changed his mind in an instant. Instead of taking this opportunity to recover, he prepared to fight directly.

Otherwise, once they become weak and their animal nature is aroused by the smell of blood gradually drifting in the air, it will be difficult to escape.

I thought to myself.

Zhang Feng exerted force with his feet, bent his body slightly, held his two swords horizontally in front of him, and rushed directly towards the remaining thirty or so rats.

'Come! ’

……

Tick—

Seven minutes later.

The smell of blood filled the entire cave, and the disgusting smell of decay overlapped with the fragrance of grass. The stimulating smell did not wake people up.

Zhang Feng stood among a pile of corpses, his mind dizzy and with several wounds on his body.

A piece of flesh was torn off his left arm by a rat.

The knife in his right hand was not tough enough and broke as he chopped at the bones and flesh.

"call……"

Zhang Feng exhaled a breath of sweet and fishy hot air and looked at the last surviving mouse.

During the fight, Zhang Feng had cut half of its neck open, and now it was just struggling on the ground.

Death is only a matter of half a minute.

Zhang Feng took a look at it and wanted to pick up the knife to kill it quickly, but he had no strength left.

All the internal energy and strength have been exhausted.

despair-

Zhang Feng sat on a dead rat while holding the handle of his knife, and looked at the people at the cave entrance who were already frightened.
"Brother Peng, Lao Xing, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

……

groggy.

Zhang Feng felt confused for the next two days.

The inflammation of the wound, the lack of effective medication, the overdraft of strength and internal energy, and the large-scale overclocking caused Zhang Feng to fall into a long-lost fever.

"Brother Zhang... wake up..."

"Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang!"

"His temperature was very high and his wound was festering."

"His breathing seems to have become lighter..."

"Zhang! Zhang! Damn it! Wake up! Wake up!"

In a daze.

The most common thing Zhang Feng heard these past two days was Old Xing and the others calling him. Even Brother Liu, who was very frugal with words, became a chatterbox, calling him "Zhang" whenever he had nothing to do.

Then, as soon as I open my eyes, they will smile with happiness and relief.

……

I don't know how long I slept this time.

"Zhang! Wake up!"

I heard Brother Liu shouting again.

After Zhang Feng opened his eyes in a daze, he saw several lights shining down from above the collapsed building. The flow of time was slowing down, and the last picture was frozen on the faces of Liu Ge and others looking at him with gratitude.
