Chapter 327: Adventures in the Circular Valley
"Leng Shao, we're all ready!" a big man dressed in camouflage and equipped with a bulletproof vest asked Leng Zifeng with a big mouth.
"Old Five, be careful! After all, Sixth He just suffered a lot of losses in this jungle last night!"
Leng Zifeng's words caused a burst of laughter from the fifth old man who was about to enter the jungle this time and the nine team members they brought with him......
"Hahaha......
Leng Shao, don't worry, we will definitely find Miss Ning, and of course, Gu Xiaole, who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, will also be captured alive!"
Speaking of which, this big man in his thirties with a meaty face also deliberately glanced at the black-clothed sixth man next to him:
"We're never going to be beaten up so badly by a bunch of monkeys!"
......
Just when Leng Zifeng once again organized people to enter the jungle, Gu Xiaole and Alida also started today's expedition at the bottom of the crater.
Just now, the two of them encountered a giant ladybug, which was the size of a washbasin, and it passed them directly as if no one was around.
Although both of them had submachine guns in their hands, they only had one magazine per person, and they still took a dodge-and-dodge approach to this insect that obviously posed no threat to them.
But even so, the two of them began to feel more and more nervous, after all, this is already the heart of the center of this desert island, and every step they take forward may be a huge discovery or encounter mortal danger.
"Xiaole, I don't know if you have noticed, the ecosphere below the valley here seems to be a little strange?" Arida suddenly asked as she watched the giant ladybug fade away.
"Is there anything else that isn't strange here?" Gu Xiaole didn't seem to be interested in her question.
"I didn't mean that, I mean did you notice that the distribution of animals here seems to be only giant insects or other small invertebrates on the outside, but you don't see any vertebrates?"
Alida's words really caught Gu Xiaole's attention, yes, in such a large valley, they had only encountered spiders, bees, ladybugs and the like, but they didn't see any other wild boars, deer or other birds and beasts outside.
Gu Xiaole analyzed it carefully and nodded, "Indeed, I suspect that either the climate or geological conditions here are not suitable for those vertebrates, or those vertebrates have been wiped out or driven out of the valley by these giant insects." ”
Alida nodded in agreement, and the two of them continued to walk forward, and after walking nearly 2 kilometers, they actually found some human footprints on the ground!
"These shoe prints are still very new, they must have just been stepped on in a week or so!" said Alida after crouching down and carefully observing the footprints for a while.
"So sure?" Gu Xiaole also squatted down and looked at it for a while, and agreed very much with Alida's statement, but the next question came immediately, who is the owner of these footprints?
Alida looked back and forth carefully, and said with great certainty:
"These footprints belong to Captain Robinson and his sailors who entered the crater valley before!"
Gu Xiaole was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Alida stretched out her finger and said, "You see, these footprints are almost all caused by the kind of mesh shoes with three non-slip stripes that their sailors wear!"
Gu Xiaole still asked with some disagreement: "What if other pirates also wore this kind of shoes to this valley?"
Alida shook her head: "My basis is not just the pattern of the sole, you can see that the footprints of this leader are obviously deeper on the left foot than on the right!"
That proves that this person who is at the forefront is a cripple with disabled legs and feet! I just know that Captain Robinson of Liu Deaf's yacht had accidentally broken his leg when he was a sailor in the past, so his left and right legs are not the same length, so the force on the soles of his feet on the ground is also different! Doesn't this explain the problem!
Gu Xiaole not only applauded when he heard this: "Wonderful, it seems that my Elida Concubine's reasoning and analysis ability is not below me, isn't it?"
Alida just smiled at his teasing, and she stared at the footprints that continued to wind forward:
"Maybe we'll follow this trail and find out what happened to them?"
Gu Xiaole smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With all due respect, I think Captain Robinson and his sailors are estimated to be no better now."
Don't forget, Liu Deaf's personal photographer was inside the crater mountain range with them!"
Alida also nodded thoughtfully, "You mean, Captain Robinson, they may have all turned into zombies with brains controlled by that kind of bug?"
"Anyway, we need to be careful and careful in everything, and we don't know how many unknown dangers await the two of us!"
So the two of them continued to walk forward along a messy series of footprints.
Less than a kilometer after walking out, the two men were surprised to find the pirate helicopter that had crashed in the crater last time.
However, after the plane fell to the ground, it was clear that there was a large explosion, and the entire plane had been shattered beyond recognition by the explosion and burning, and the two of them went in to check it out, and found that there was nothing of value to find other than the three pirates who had been burned to the ground.
It looks like the plane must have been attacked by giant insects in the crater, and these hapless pirates were burned to the bottom of the valley.
Gu Xiaole was still a little reluctant to search back and forth on the wreckage of the helicopter, but he really didn't find anything useful to them, so he could only give up and continue to move forward with Alida.
The two of them walked less than 500 meters to the front, and suddenly heard a strange sound of "hissing ......" not far ahead.
The two of them glanced at each other, quickly picked up the submachine gun in their hands, climbed down and crawled over a little bit......
As they expected, less than a hundred meters away, they actually saw an amazing scene in a lawn clearing.
A giant praying mantis with a body size of more than 2 meters is facing off against a giant centipede with a body length of more than 3 meters!
The "hiss...... sound" they had just heard was made by this praying mantis when it vibrated its huge wings.
If you want to say that the praying mantis thing Gu Xiaole didn't play with it when he was a child, and in their hometown, this insect is usually called a knife mantis.
However, most of the knife mantis he played with were about 10 centimeters long, but what he saw in front of him was only completely beyond his cognitive imagination of praying mantises.
The pair of turquoise compound eyes bulging high like light bulbs, combined with the triangular head and mouthparts with a strong bite, this guy is simply an alien monster jumping off a movie screen!
And the centipede that confronted him was purple and black, and the pair of huge chelica teeth on the top of his head and the dozens of half-meter-long abdominal feet on both sides of his body looked directly creepy......
In addition to the two of them themselves, the most shocking thing was the target of the fight between these two giant bugs, he was actually the sailor who was already a little insane that Gu Xiaole and Alida met in the valley last time!
