Chapter 372 Let the leader decide (please vote and subscribe)
Seeing the team member who was killed by thunder just after leaving the cave, the group stopped at the entrance of the cave in fear. There was thunder outside, and they would be killed if they went out. There were cracks and terrifying roars inside, and the surveying team was caught in a dilemma.
Fortunately, the space in the cave was spacious enough, even if all the team members and horses stayed in the cave, they would be fine. Of course, the premise is that no monsters would run out of the cave.
"There is thunder outside, it seems that we can't get out. Are we all going to die here?" A team member said in despair.
Youye couldn't answer this question, but he was unwilling to give up. This was the first time he led a team to carry out a mission in the true sense, and he would never give up easily.
"We won't die. Since we can't get out, we should prepare for danger here. Everyone, stay away from that crack and pile all the firewood inside the cave entrance. Even if there are any terrifying beasts, they will definitely be afraid of fire.
Divide into two teams, those with crossbows defend the deep cave entrance, and those with short bows defend the outside of the cave entrance. As long as we hold on until the thunderstorm is over, we can get out alive. Believe me, don't give up." Youye shouted firmly to everyone in the rumbling roar and vibration. When
a group of people heard the captain's shout, hope burst out in their eyes again. Yes, as long as they hold on as the captain said, they will definitely be able to hold on until the thunderstorm is over, and then they will be able to get out alive.
A group of people quickly got busy, moving the bonfire in the middle of the cave to the end of the cave, and added some firewood to form a horizontal line, forming a fire wall deep in the cave to defend against unknown terrifying beasts from inside.
Next, the team automatically divided into two parts according to the different weapons they held, guarding the cave entrance and the depths of the cave respectively. The remaining guide guarded the horses between the two teams and tried not to scare them.
In this way, the surviving team members shivered in the shaking of the mountain, the roar of thunder, and the roar of the cave until dawn. What frightened them was that every time a thunderbolt fell from the sky, a flash would also be emitted from the deep crack on the surface of the cave. The flash was very bright, as if the lightning penetrated the entire mountain and finally exploded inside the mountain.
The team members were very scared, but they had no way to escape. They could only pray silently that this nightmare would end quickly. No matter where they went, they had to leave this ghost place first.
After four or five hours, the rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the terrifying thunderstorm disappeared. However, the weird things were not over yet. The mountain was still shaking violently. Youye looked at the river water not far away at the entrance of the cave and saw that it was rising continuously. It seemed that the mountain was sinking, and it was falling again! ! ?
However, this did not prevent them from escaping the cave at this time. When they saw the first ray of sunlight appearing in the clouds, Youye could not wait to order all the team members to evacuate the cave.
Everyone led the horses to the open ground outside the cave. Some people couldn't help but burst into tears beside the companion who was killed by lightning. Such an experience was too terrible. They lost three companions in a blink of an eye, which made them suffer a great blow.
The dark clouds
dispersed, and the giant eagle used to deliver the message flew back from somewhere and hovered over everyone's heads. It was released before the rain, and it should be that it found a place to hide from the rain.
Fortunately, the member of the Eagle Clan in the team was still alive, and the giant eagle did not lose control. He grabbed a bone pendant on his chest and blew into it. The bone immediately made a sharp whistle, and the Azuka giant eagle in the sky also circled and flew down.
"Captain, what should we do? Should we continue to move forward?" The Eagle Clan member stroked the giant eagle's feathers and asked Youye.
Youye sat beside the dead body of the member and did not speak for a long time. Because he could not understand, he even suspected that this was the will of God. God did not want them to continue to move forward. However, wasn't their leader also a god? This was the task assigned by the leader. Could it be that all this was wrong?
Youye couldn't make a judgment. After thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice.
"Let's not leave yet. Let's retreat and leave this mountain first, and then send a letter back to the leader to ask him what to do."
The team members nodded one after another, and they all agreed with Youye's decision.
So a group of people buried the dead teammates with the engineer shovels they carried with them. The carcasses of the horses were cut up and used as rations. Then they retreated to the back of the mountain to set up a temporary camp. Youye also wrote a letter in person, recording in detail the strange things he encountered this time, and then asked the flying eagle to send it to Hanyang City.
Although they walked for more than a month, the actual distance was not very far. For such a long distance, it only took less than a day to use the giant eagle to transmit the information, so Luo Chong received Youye's letter in the evening of that day.
The letter was received by Ying Rui. After receiving the letter, he immediately went to find Luo Chong, who was still at home counting the supplies and soldiers that needed to be transported to the two alliances.
"Chief, there is a letter. An Azuka has delivered a letter." Ying Rui started to speak loudly as soon as he entered Luo Chong's courtyard.
"Letter? Where did it come from?" Luo Chong heard the shout and walked out of the house.
"I don't know. I didn't open it to see, but it seems to have come from the north." Ying Rui replied.
In the north, there was only Youye's surveying and reconnaissance team. Luo Chong assigned them two giant eagles. One of them had returned with the expedition team. Now they only had one left. Did they encounter something that required emergency contact with him? Could it be that they had found the cannibal's settlement?
Luo Chong quickly opened the animal skin letter and glanced at the contents. As a result, he frowned immediately. The reconnaissance team actually suffered a heavy loss!
Three people died, and there were three horses. This was definitely a heavy loss. After all, they only had a few people in total, which was equivalent to losing one-third of the members.
"Chief, is it from the reconnaissance team? What happened?" Ying Rui looked at Luo Chong's frowning brows and couldn't help but be curious about the content of the letter. However, he had only joined the Han tribe for a short time and had not learned so many Chinese characters.
"It's not good news. Three members of the reconnaissance team died." Luo Chong said solemnly.
Ying Rui was shocked and wanted to continue asking questions, but seeing Luo Chong concentrating on reading the letter, he refrained from interrupting him.
Terrifying thunder, rising mountains, huge cracks, flashes every time thunder strikes, and countless monsters roaring. After the thunderstorm stops, the mountain will sink? !
What does this mean? Is it mysticism? Or is it a scientific principle? Luo Chong fell into deep thought.
