Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Giant Insect Forest
This crab is not only huge, but also extremely fat.
When Lin Shuo came back with the cooked crab, he lifted the lid of the crab as if he had lifted the door panel......
The familiar smell of hairy crabs directly gave the four of them a scented bath.
Bathed in this familiar and strong fragrance, everyone was relieved again.
This thing not only looks like a hairy crab that has been magnified dozens of times, but also smells like it.
Especially Lin Shuo, as soon as he went down his nose, he knew that this thing would definitely be edible.
Wei Xingshan looked like he was facing a great enemy, and shouted, "Don't move! I'll try first!"
After the giant man finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger at his waist and bent down to pick out a small piece of crab roe.
"Lao Lin, if I have an accident, you remember to bring my soldiers back when you go back. Wei Xingshan turned his head and instructed Lin Shuo.
Looking at Wei Xingshan's solemn expression, Lin Shuo felt helpless: "Old Wei, you have a lot of drama. ”
"There's nothing wrong with being careful, that's what you said. Wei Xingshan muttered in his mouth, then closed his eyes and put this mouthful of crab roe into his mouth.
In less than a second, Wei Xingshan's eyes suddenly widened.
"How's it going?" asked Yang Tuo next to him.
Wei Xingshan swallowed the crab roe in his mouth with a "coo", and licked his lips with a regretful expression: "It's a pity!"
"What is a pity?" Anne asked.
"If it can be paired with ginger vinegar, it will be even better. After Wei Xingshan finished speaking, he thrust the dagger into his waist, and directly dug out a fist-sized piece of crab roe with his hand.
The freshly steamed crab roe is now a little cooler on the surface, but it's still hot on the inside.
Wei Xingshan's hand dug a little deep, so hot that he hurriedly threw it with both hands, and said in his mouth: "I'll try again! ”
Lin Shuo couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised a kick and kicked Wei Xingshan's buttocks, kicking the giant man three meters away.
"Eat. Lin Shuo gave an order, and bent down to pout a crab leg.
According to the amount of food of a normal person, this crab leg as thick as a person's thigh can be eaten for three days.
But for Lin Shuo, this is not a problem.
......
This giant hairy crab weighs about 200 catties, and the edible part is more than 100 catties.
Lin Shuo killed half of it alone, and the other three ate it separately, and it was called a round belly.
No matter how delicious something is, once you eat it, that's it.
It was really impossible to do it, and the four of them found that there were still forty catties of crab meat left.
Wei Xingshan touched his belly and lay on the river beach, feeling that he would probably never touch a crab again in his life.
That night, the wind was calm.
With Anne's "painting prison" there, Lin Shuo was still very relieved and took the time to sleep for two hours.
Wei Xingshan woke up the next day and found himself foaming.
The man's face turned white with fright, thinking that he had been poisoned, and hurriedly sought medical advice from Yang Tuo, a biologist.
Yang Tuo calmly took a plastic bottle from his bag and handed it to Wei Xingshan: "You have too much protein, just eat some vitamins and drink more water." ”
"Then why is he okay?" Wei Xingshan pointed at Lin Shuo.
"Everyone's constitution is different. Yang Tuo explained.
There is no day or night, and at three o'clock in the morning, everyone is almost rested.
Anne removed the "Draw Prison" and everyone continued on their way.
The size of this underground cavern was far greater than everyone expected, and the mountain in front of them was even more majestic than the one on the other side of the river.
It is not accurate to say that it is a mountain. Because this mountain is the same as before, the top of the mountain is connected to the top of the cave, and it is still in the shape of a huge hourglass.
There was no summit of this mountain, and the route that everyone climbed was to go around halfway up the mountain.
After passing by the strange and magnificent lake, walking in this mountain, constantly climbing up, the top of the cave is getting closer and closer, and a sense of depression gradually hits, and the sky is falling.
At the same time, as we moved away from the lava pool, the light grew dimmer.
Miraculously, as the light gets dimmer, the fern forest starts to get livelier and liver.
Everywhere there was the buzzing of insects vibrating their wings, and there was the sound of Suosuo on the ground around them.
Wei Xingshan had already turned on his headlamp, and the rifle of the Russian military standard in his hand had been lifted, aiming east and west.
Anne had gloves on her hands, which she hadn't taken off since last night, and a flashlight in her hand.
Lin Shuo also held an arrow in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.
Only Yang Tuo, who didn't hold a weapon in his hand, held the camera, lit up the flash from time to time, and sounded the "click" of the shutter.
At this time, Lin Shuo's attention to the sense of smell was not much.
The smell here is several times more complicated than on the other side of the lake, and the taste database he has accumulated before is nothing compared to this place, and it is completely insufficient.
There are so many new species.
And unlike the relatively static smell on the other side of the lake, the smell here is mostly moving, near and far.
Lin Shuo felt that if he focused on identifying and remembering these smells at this time, he would definitely be distracted.
When the time comes, there will be deaths in the ranks.
He didn't dare take the risk.
So at this time, there are only three flavors in his mind.
Small eight, hooked snake, snake snake.
Once these three scents appear, he wants to make sure that he can sense them as soon as possible.
Other smells, then it doesn't matter.
In this environment, Anne also gave up "listening to the mountain".
It was so noisy that Anne felt like her ears were full just by standing like this.
Fortunately, so far, nothing has attacked them.
The forest on the other side of the lake was very quiet, and there were no animals in sight, which made everyone feel an inexplicable unease.
And now, the surroundings are lively, although still tense, but everyone has a sense of familiarity in the jungle.
Most of the animals you can see here are insects.
Some know, such as centipedes, horses, leeches, crickets, etc., and some don't know, most of them are strange-shaped beetles.
These bugs, except that they are a little bigger than the others, are fine.
After seeing the giant spiders, the colony of ants, and the hairy crab, everyone has an expectation of the size of the animals here.
And this team is not an ordinary person.
After walking like this for more than two hours, the four finally felt that they had crossed the ridge and began to go downhill.
Once you crossed the ridge, it was completely dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.
"Miss Anne, turn off your flashlight. Wei Xingshan reminded, "I don't know how far it is ahead, we have to save electricity, and use my headlamp to hold it first." ”
Anne felt that Wei Xingshan had a point, so she turned off the flashlight in her hand.
At this time, Wei Xingshan, as the only light source in the team, walked in the forefront.
Anne followed Wei Xingshan closely, Yang Tuo followed behind Anne, and Lin Shuo was at the end of the team.
This formation was maintained for half an hour, and Wei Xingshan subconsciously turned his head, and the headlamp shone on a large leaf.
These large blue leaves abound in this fern forest, and they hang down from the trees one by one, more than one meter wide and two meters high, like green cloth curtains one after another.
These leaves are large and can make you feel like there's something behind them.
When he first started climbing, Wei Xingshan picked the leaves with the muzzle of his gun several times to see what was behind him.
As a result, apart from the occasional large bug or two, I didn't find much.
So at this time, in Wei Xingshan's subconscious, this kind of leaf no longer poses any threat.
But at this time, since he saw it, Wei Xingshan still picked up the gun and poked the leaf with the muzzle.
"Be careful!" Lin Shuo suddenly roared.
Wei Xingshan was full of excitement, and before he could make any movements, Lin Shuo's hand had already put on his left shoulder.
Wei Xingshan only felt a force on his left shoulder that was not able to resist at all, and his whole body was turned sideways at once.
On this side, Wei Xingshan's life was saved.
A knife light was attached to Wei Xingshan's nose, from top to bottom, with a "swish".
Wei Xingshan only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and a light in his hand!
When he came back to his senses, he found that only half of the rifle in his hand was left.
The first half of this rifle is gone!
Then Wei Xingshan only heard a "poof" sound in his ears, as if something had been mashed.
Twisting his head again, as soon as the head light line shone, Wei Xingshan saw the things in front of him clearly, and felt that a cool breath from his back rushed straight to Tianling Gai, and his legs were weak.
Lin Shuo was by his side at this time, and he hurriedly put his hand on Lin Shuo's shoulder, so as not to be unsteady.
At Lin Shuo's feet, there was a huge praying mantis, whose head was already shattered.
And the big leaf I saw just now is actually the two huge knife-shaped forelimbs of this praying mantis, which are put together to form a kind of mimicry camouflage.
The mimicry of the forelimbs of this praying mantis is almost perfect, exactly the same as the big green leaves, and the size of the forelimbs is huge, and its entire body is completely hidden behind the forelimbs, which is not visible to the naked eye.
Wei Xingshan poked with the muzzle of the gun, and the good guy came down with a knife!
What Wei Xingshan was holding in his hand was not a toy gun, it was produced by the Russian military industry, and the barrel was made of special steel, but it was cut in two by this big mantis.
The sharpness of the forelimbs of this praying mantis, and the speed of the knife are incredible!
If Lin Shuo hadn't been more horizontal than him, Wei Xingshan would have died by this time.
"Are you okay?" behind him, Yang Tuo asked.
"It's fine. Wei Xingshan replied with palpitations, and said to Lin Shuo, "Old Lin, I owe you two lives. ”
Lin Shuo didn't respond, he slowly squatted down, wiped the head of the big mantis with his fingers, and then put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed.
After sniffing, Lin Shuo's face suddenly became ugly.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" asked Anne.
"This thing, it's all over here. Lin Shuo grabbed a handful of moss on the ground and stood up while wiping his fingers.
"What?" Wei Xingshan heard this, and his whole person was not good, "This kind of thing is everywhere here?"
"No less than fifty. Lin Shuo twitched his nose.
