Chapter 117 Horror Paradise
The energy beam pierced Anderson's crown like a piece of tofu, and bloody bone fragments mixed with the mushy brain matter scattered all over the ground.
Several girls who were closer were covered in the red and white stuff. They showed a look of fear and immediately bent down and vomited violently.
"I advise you not to act rashly." Lin Mu pointed the gun at the leaders of the Chinese and American teams. "You have seen how powerful this gun is. If you dare to move, you will die."
"Those who are afraid of death will not enter this secret place!" Qi Xue stretched out her right hand to protect the children behind her, her eyes filled with tears.
These tears were half because of Shen Bing's sacrifice, and half because of Lin Mu's betrayal. She couldn't understand why this promising young man would do such a thing.
"It is impossible for an ordinary person like you to understand my painstaking efforts."
Lin Mu laughed and didn't intend to explain further: "I'll say it one last time, everyone stand together immediately!
I would also like to advise all team leaders not to rush in to block the eye-catching spots. Look around carefully and see how many you can block. "
Everyone looked up and realized that they had been surrounded by strange giant apes. Behind them were a crowd of animal heads, and they didn't know how many more strange beasts were coming.
Qi Xue looked around and found that only the road behind her had fewer strange beasts. Deeper in the road was a canyon, leading to the place where the treasure was buried as Anderson said.
She didn't know whether there were treasures inside, but there were definitely unknown dangers.
But I can't care about so many things now. I have to choose the lesser of two evils. If I don't run now, I will end up being slaughtered if I wait any longer.
"Students, run!"
Qi Xue pointed at the only road and shouted, then released her pet to pounce on Lin Mu.
The other team leaders also knew that this was the only chance to save the children, so even though they knew they would die, they still attacked Lin Mu without hesitation.
Lin Siyao and Ji Chen also wanted to go up to help, but were pulled back by Chu Yi.
"Retreat now and don't let the leaders' sacrifice go to waste." Chu Yi said calmly with a livid face.
"Are you just going to abandon Sister Qi and the others like this?" Lin Siyao's eyes were filled with tears and anger.
"Where there is life, there is hope."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he now had no way to defeat the giant apes in front of him.
If there are only dozens or hundreds of leaders, they can still win if they unite. Even if there are casualties, I believe no one will regret it.
But what appeared before their eyes was a tide of giant apes. There were thousands of level 40 giant apes alone, and there were tens of thousands of lower-level exotic beasts behind them.
Facing an enemy of this size, if you don't run away you will die.
Although running into the unknown canyon behind may not guarantee survival, it is better than dying here now.
Lin Siyao knew that what Chu Yi said was the only correct choice at the moment. After taking a final look at Team Leader Qi, he could only turn around reluctantly and run towards the depths of the canyon.
After a while, there were several miserable screams from behind, followed by a deafening explosion.
A flock of birds rushed into the sky from the treetops in panic, leaving behind tragic traces.
Lin Siyao gritted her teeth and turned her head back, the tears in her eyes were like pearls that had broken off the string………………
The group didn't know how long they ran, they only knew that they crossed the canyon and rushed into a forest.
However, the trees in this forest are not as tall as the previous ones, and when you climb to the top of the tree, you can see a green mountain standing in front of you.
Chu Yi was walking at the front of the team, considering whether to go into the mountains, when suddenly he heard a burst of shouting and cursing from behind.
Turning around, he discovered that Li Ming was actually wrestling with a student from the American expedition team.
The classmates around you were probably tired from running, and they just shouted at you to stop fighting, but no one stepped forward to stop the fight.
Chu Yi sighed helplessly, walked forward, picked up one in each hand, and separated the two people like picking up chickens.
"What are you trying to do? You're fighting when you can't even save your lives, right?" Chu Yi asked with a hint of reproach.
Although his apparent age is among the lowest in the team, his actual age is much older than these half-grown children in front of him.
Now that the adults in the team were gone, he subconsciously took on the responsibility of leading the team.
"He has been chattering there since just now. Who knows if he was scolding us? When I thought of what happened to Captain Shen just now, I... I just..." Li Ming started crying as he spoke, tears streaming down his face.
When they saw Li Ming crying, the students who had been tense all the way couldn't help but start sobbing.
After all, they are just a bunch of kids in their teens. No matter how talented they are, they have never experienced such a close-to-death situation. It's quite good that they haven't collapsed emotionally until now.
If he had a cigarette in his pocket at this moment, Chu Yi would definitely light one and wait until everyone finished crying before talking.
Too bad he didn't.
"Clap!"
Chu Yi raised his right hand and slapped the nearest people twice in the face, hitting them so hard that they even forgot to cry. They stared at Chu Yi blankly, looking at a loss.
Everyone else was also shocked by Chu Yi's action and didn't understand why he did this.
After two simple slaps, the crying seemed to stop instantly.
"Are you done crying? If you are, keep running, or the monkeys will catch up with you soon."
Chu Yi didn't even bother to ask about the specific reason for the fight between the two men. He just arrested two unlucky guys and made an example of them, which immediately shocked the whole place.
The team returned to harmony, and everyone continued on their journey with their heads down.
After a while, the student who had fought with Li Ming came over. It was Ross.
"I didn't scold you just now. I was only scolding that Anderson. I know that this bastard has been hiding something from us since we entered the secret realm. Now I understand that he has planted a spy in your team."
Ross saw Chu Yi's extraordinaryness, so he took the initiative to come over and show his goodwill.
"It seems that your team leader has also been tricked. However, I am very curious as to why Anderson wants us to enter this treasure land together. Does he want us Chinese to help you step on the landmines?"
Chu Yi was very smart and he could get a general idea by connecting these abnormal things together.
But there were only two points he didn't understand, which was why Anderson was so sure that there was treasure in this canyon that he planted Lin Mu as an undercover agent before entering the secret realm.
The second question is, which faction does Lin Mu belong to?
"There is a reason." Ross confirmed Chu Yi's guess, "The sudden disappearance of the two team leaders last night is probably because they entered the canyon early and encountered danger, which is why Anderson decided to use you as scapegoats."
"Then what is the other reason?" Chu Yi turned his head and looked over, his eyes full of curiosity.
Ross pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and whispered, "In fact, deep in this secret realm lurks a divine pet that escaped from America. It feeds on children's emotions, and our mission is to come in and subdue it. Anderson asked you to join the team without knowing it, probably because he wanted to gather more emotions to awaken the monster."
When Chu Yi heard this, he slammed on the brakes, and the others also stopped in confusion.
"You mean, there might be a divine pet hiding in the mountain ahead?" Chu Yi raised his hand and pointed into the distance, his entire scalp tingling.
Ross chuckled: "To be precise, it is a divine pet in its infancy. Although it is still very powerful, it is not impossible to tame it.
In addition, the thick fog covering the core area of the entire secret realm was the work of this divine pet. As for whether those strange-looking pets were affected by it, it is unknown, but I guess it is likely to be the work of it."
"Then how did Lin Mu get connected with this divine pet?" Chu Yi had just seen with his own eyes that Lin Mu could control those strange beasts.
If these exotic beasts are really the masterpieces of that divine pet, then Lin Mu's identity is quite intriguing.
"I don't know about that, but none of this really matters. What matters is that we have no choice."
Ross smiled and instigated, "If we turn back, we will be dead. We have completely lost contact with the outside world. My teacher gave me a way to teleport out before I came in, but it is not working now.
This must have the same source as the power that blocks electronic signals, so our only way out now is to deal with this divine pet.
Or we can find a secluded place to wait for the rescue team outside. If they can't contact us for half a day at most, they will send people to rescue us, but it's hard to say whether they can find us before those giant apes."
Everyone fell silent when they heard Ross's sudden confession.
After a few seconds, Chu Yi raised his head and asked, "Since you want to cooperate, show some sincerity. Share the information about that divine pet quickly."
“In fact, we don’t know much about this divine pet. We only know that it is a product from several eras ago.
Now it is called the Old One, it feeds on human emotions, and is said to have the power to make people's dreams come true."
After these words were spoken, many people showed curiosity in their eyes.
Dreams come true? Is there really such a power in this world?
"Since that's what you said, then we can only go and venture into this dangerous place."
Chu Yi turned his head and looked at the mountain that was getting closer and closer, then quickened his pace...
The secret place of Huaguo Mountain, the Chinese camp.
"Calling the camp, this is Shen Bing from the Chinese expedition team. We just found three more peach trees. We believe we are very close to the mother peach tree. Please continue exploring!"
Shen Bing's voice came from the headset, exactly the same as in the previous communication.
"Camping site received, please be careful."
The correspondent's answer was not much different from before.
Hong Luan on the side put down his headphones and pinched his temples.
He hasn't gotten much sleep since the expedition entered the core area yesterday.
After all, there are so many elite students in there. Even if everything is normal until now, he still dare not feel sleepy at all.
"Old Hong, go get some sleep. I'll be watching over here." Liu Jian walked over and patted his old friend on the shoulder, wanting him to go and rest for a while.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Hong Luan also knew that it was not a good idea to endure this, so he went back to the tent and prepared to take a nap.
However, just as Hong Luan left, Liu Jian's subordinates walked into the liaison room and walked up to Liu Jian with a somewhat uneasy expression: "President Liu, we found something, you have to come and take a look."
"What is it?" Liu Jian immediately stood up and walked over.
"When other forces landed on the island today, there was a group of unidentified illegal immigrants mixed in with them. We recognized one of them as an internationally wanted criminal, so we immediately sent people to arrest him, and then found a strange biological tissue in his luggage."
As the subordinate spoke, he led Liu Jian to a temporary barracks.
The barracks was quite empty, with a shiny ball of meat placed on a table in the middle.
This meat ball was trapped in a transparent force field cage. It was pink all over, about the size of a face, with several soft tentacles curled up underneath it.
"What is this? Some kind of octopus-shaped pet?" Liu Jian frowned. He knew tens of thousands of pets, but at this moment he couldn't think of one in his mind that could compare to the one in front of him.
The subordinate shook his head and replied, "It's not clear yet. We need to conduct a genetic comparison to confirm its race, but we have already discovered several of its abilities, one of which is the ability to distort reality."
Liu Jian asked doubtfully: "Distorting reality? Is that a spatial ability?"
The subordinate replied: "It is not the space system, but the frequency of the supernatural power fluctuation is closer to the spiritual system, and can be regarded as a branch of the spiritual system.
It can use its powerful mental power to distort reality, create illusions and illusions, and even interfere with electromagnetic waves to create a shielding force field.
However, these abilities are not too powerful, so they did not cause us much trouble. "
"Illusion...interference with electromagnetic waves..."
As Liu Jian listened, he suddenly realized something very terrifying.
He immediately rushed into the liaison room and ordered loudly: "Contact Shen Bing from the expedition team, immediately!"
Although the contact officer didn't know what was going on, he did not hesitate at all and immediately pressed the contact button: "This is the camp, calling the expedition team, calling the expedition team!"
"This is Shen Bing from the Chinese expedition team. Any instructions?"
Liu Jian grabbed the microphone and said, "I am Liu Jian, Captain Shen Bing, now I ask you to speak the emergency command!"
After a moment of silence, Shen Bing replied, "Sorry, my signal is a bit bad right now. I'll get back to you later."
Then the intercom was hung up.
Liu Jian tightly grasped the earphones in his hand, his whole body was cold...
At the same time, Chu Yi and his companions finally arrived at the towering mountain before dusk.
What no one expected was that there were two signboards at the entrance of the mountain road. The taller one was stuck on the cliff, with four big blood-red characters "Horror Park" written on it.
The lower one was stuck on the side of the road, and the content was the "Thriller Park Safety Manual" written in small black letters.
