Chapter Eighty-Three: The Two-Headed Python (I)
As we continued to advance, some creatures gradually appeared in the passage, all of which were small, strange-looking insects that had never been seen before.
For example, a bug that looks the same as the seven-star ladybug, its whole body is transparent, and the back is not a spot, but a hole, the kind that directly penetrates the body, and the internal organs can be clearly seen.
I don't know if these bugs are poisonous or not, but I haven't been able to see how dangerous they are for the time being, and I haven't been attacked by these bugs so far.
For everything here, Chen Mulin is quite interested.
Compared to the huge cockroaches, these petite bugs are much more beautiful than them, and I don't know what happened to them that led to their evolution.
If cockroaches can grow so big, why are these bugs so small?
To be sure, these bugs are at the bottom of the food chain, but where are the cockroaches coming from?
If it is placed on the earth, these cockroaches are definitely at the top of the food chain, and even fierce beasts like lions and tigers dare not provoke the existence, but on Mars, this is still an unknown, and the ghost knows what monsters will appear behind.
Compared with the huge cockroaches, Chen Mulin is more afraid of the huge ants, that is the real king.
Thinking about it, Chen Mulin did not stop moving forward, and he had to find the water source before he drank the remaining water, otherwise he would die.
As he walked, Chen Mulin found that the passage began to change.
Before, the width of the passage was only about three meters, but here, the size of the passage has reached about four meters, and it continues to increase.
Chen Mulin glanced at the map and frowned: "It's the most dangerous place!"
It was this section of the road, which he felt was the most dangerous section of the road before reaching the next dimension.
Compared with the previous passage, the passage here is more complicated, it can be said that it is not too much to make a mess, there is a fork in the road almost every other distance, the short one is only a few meters, and the long one is only about ten meters, so it looks like a huge maze from the map, if there is no map, you will definitely get lost here.
Of course, the dangers he was referring to were not so simple.
Think about it, why is the passage here like this? like the cockroach territory, because they have a huge space for their nest, and this place can also be seen as an old nest, maybe it is actually an ant.
The more he advanced, the more vigilant Chen Mulin became, staring at the bioradar with both eyes.
As long as there is a sign of life, even if it is lying down and dying, it will definitely not escape his eyes.
For example, now, after debugging, the bioradar will detect the signs of life of those small insects, and the tiny points of light on a screen full of them, as long as they are gathered together, he will take a detour directly to avoid head-on conflict.
It's a pity that the radar scanning range loaded by the armor is too small, with a radius of only five hundred meters.
Inevitably, there is a situation where all the paths are full of creatures congregating together.
Just like now, Chen Mulin has encountered this situation, and it is even more dangerous.
Judging from the radar, a large area of light appeared in front of them, and judging from the size of the light spots, they were all big guys, by no means smaller than ordinary cockroaches.
"That's hard!"
"How do you get there?"
Now it is a dilemma, if you continue to move forward, you may be divided by those unknown creatures, and if you retreat, you will face the dilemma of running out of water to drink in a day.
After a moment of silence, Chen Mulin gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"If you don't go to find a water source, it's a dead end, and if you go, your life will be in danger at most, and it's better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death, it's better than not having a chance at all!"
After a slight glance at the radar, Chen Mulin stepped on one of the passages with the fewest red light spots.
Because he was afraid that poisonous gases would appear in the passage, Chen Mulin's helmet was worn all the time, and he couldn't feel any changes in the climate, so he could only analyze it through atmospheric data.
On the other hand, the humidity in this section of the passage is significantly heavier, the rock walls are all wet, and the temperature has also risen from about 20 degrees Celsius to about 30 degrees Celsius now.
Such heavy humidity, combined with this temperature, is somewhat similar to a tropical rainforest.
We all know that the tropical rainforest is very dangerous, there are many poisonous miasma, there are also many fierce beasts, and it is also a paradise for snakes, especially pythons.
If the situation here is the same as that of a tropical rainforest, then this is definitely the territory of some kind of fierce beast, and it is definitely no less dangerous than a large cockroach.
Sure enough, Chen Mulin guessed correctly, and he found something strange in a corner.
It's a snake skin, and it looks like it's still a python.
"I'll go!"
"I really want to come with anything, and I'll serve me hard dishes as soon as I come!"
Just now, I thought that the rainforest is a paradise for snakes, especially pythons, and now they have appeared.
Although I don't know what the status of snakes is on Mars, it is conceivable that they are definitely not easier to deal with than cockroaches, and the mutation is absolute.
The radar showed that there were no creatures nearby, and Chen Mulin also relaxed his tense nerves and walked over to check.
"My ghost, this snake is going to turn into a dragon, right?"
As soon as he walked over and squatted down to take a look, Chen Mulin was taken aback.
Looking at the size of the snakeskin, this peeling python has the thickness of an oil drum, but it is not too long, only ten meters like this, but this snakeskin is broken, and I can't see what the python looks like for the time being.
After looking at it for a while, he really couldn't see any special information from it, so Chen Mulin put down the snakeskin and got up and continued to move forward.
It is getting closer and closer to the big light point, and the passage selected by Chen Mulin only has three big light points, and with the passage of time, two of the light points have left, and it is currently the safest channel.
And before the big point of light, there is a small point of light, which is a little bigger than the light point of the bug, and it shouldn't be a big guy.
Slowly approaching the small point of light, Chen Mulin saw an arm-thick python lying on a rock, as if sleeping.
Although he was not very afraid of snakes, he had never seen such a big snake, and it was inevitable that his heart would beat a little.
No matter what, it still has to pass through here, and besides, the python with only the thick arm is not a threat to the battle armor at all.
Chen Mulin made a decisive decision.
"Take advantage of your illness to kill you!"
Suddenly, he flew over, and a dagger of about thirty centimeters popped out of the mechanical arm, slashing at the resting python.
With the assistance of the battle armor, that is, in an instant, Chen Mulin jumped to the side of the python from a few meters away, and the next moment the python split into two and rolled on the ground.
When Chen Mulin looked down, he didn't wait for him to be happy, so he was stunned on the spot.
