166: Moon Lake Worm
It resembles a leaf, is small, about the size of a small gecko, has no legs, and rubs its tail in the snow.
The toothpick is also fixed on its tail.
My appearance attracted the attention of Kakemu and the fourth, and they also came to check.
Both of them were surprised to see that strange thing.
"What is this?" It seems that this thing is rare enough, and even Kakmu doesn't know about it.
But unexpectedly, the fourth child looked at the little thing thoughtfully, "I seem to ...... Where have you seen it. ”
Kakemu and I both looked at the fourth child in surprise, "Have you seen it?"
The fourth child scratched his head, and his memory didn't seem to be too clear, "It seems to be ...... It's in the book. You know, my old man loved to collect those ancient books and something, and when the old man died, we sorted out all his books, and I remember, it seems that I saw this thing in a book. ”
"This ...... This is supposed to be an ancient creature, I don't remember the specifics. Because the book is full of ancient and strange creatures, and the appearance of this thing is not very special, I am not very impressed. ”
After hearing this, Kakmu muttered to himself, "Ancient creatures, will that ...... Is it coming out of March Lake?"
I looked at Kakmu and motioned for him to continue.
Kakemu said, "March Lake is a forbidden place, and I have always said this since my ancestors. Almost no one has ever set foot there, and even if they did, none of them made it out alive. If this strange creature hadn't lived in March Lake, it would have been discovered by someone else a long time ago. ”
I nodded, "Your analysis makes sense. But since this thing has been living in March Lake, why did it suddenly run out again? This thing is very strange, let's be careful. ”
Kakemu looked worried, "Could it be that the legend of March Lake is about to come true?"
"Let's stop guessing and scare ourselves. "It's rare for the fourth child to stand on my side and speak for me, "With them, what are we afraid of." ”
I turned my gaze to the little thing, ready to lift it up.
Kakemu said worriedly, "I don't know if this thing is poisonous, so you better not touch it." ”
I smiled, "Even if it's poisonous, I'm not afraid." ”
I have the Golden Snake Pill in my body, and it is invulnerable.
Pluck the toothpick with one hand and pinch the tail of the little thing with the other.
It struggles constantly, making a "squeaking" sound that is a bit like that of a mouse.
If this little thing really ran out of March Lake, then it doesn't make sense that it came so far to attack us.
I found a bottle and put it in, leaving some small holes in the lid so that it wouldn't suffocate to death.
If you keep this thing, it might be of great use.
I put the bottle in my canvas bag and continued to rest.
But the thing wasn't at all restless, "clicking", as if it was scratching a bottle. I didn't look at it, so I reached out and flicked it on the bottle, "Be quiet." ”
That thing seems to understand human speech, and when I warn it, it really doesn't make a fuss.
It's not making a fuss, but I think it's strange, this thing doesn't look like a master who can settle down.
I pulled the bottle out, only to find that the cap was gone, the contents of the bottle were gone, and there were a lot of cap crumbs on the rim of the bottle.
The thing actually ate the bottle cap.
This was a surprise to me.
I pretended to be helpless and put the bottle down.
That thing is snooping on me somewhere, and I'm going to have to put on a show for it, trick it out.
Sure enough, after I pretended to let my guard down, a small sound sounded in the bag.
It's looking for timing.
Since it doesn't give up, then I'll give it a chance.
I deliberately rolled over and exposed my back in front of it.
After a while, a subtle rustle was approaching me. That thing is really wise, I smiled secretly, little thing, see how I will punish you if I catch you in a while.
A rustling voice came behind me, waiting for an opportunity.
I spun around and grabbed it with great speed.
That thing must have looked confused, and it didn't have time to react, why was it caught again?
I pinched its tail and lifted it up, only to see that it was a lot fatter than just now, and its belly was bulging.
I flicked my finger on its belly, "Little thing, let you run, you run again." Eat metal ......"
I am reminded of a strange plant called goldenrod, which can grow quickly as long as the gold is buried in the soil and absorbed by it.
This little thing in front of me should be the same type as eating golden grass.
To test my idea, I removed the nail clippers and put them to its mouth, and the thing sniffed and suddenly opened a huge mouth.
The reason why it is said to be a giant mouth is because the mouth is so exaggerated compared to its small body, it feels like it is made up of a mouth.
It bit down on the nail clippers, and if I hadn't squeezed them hard enough, it would have swallowed them.
When this thing sees a nail clipper, it is like a cat sees a mouse, and it grabs its mouth lifelessly.
I took the nail clipper away, and it struggled like a starving ghost had seen it.
I suddenly came up with the idea that this thing will grow rapidly after eating metal, just like eating golden grass?
When I was on a mission before, I saw a magical centipede, the young centipede was about the same size as the ordinary centipede, but the growth rate of that centipede was very fast, dozens of times that of the ordinary centipede. As long as it is given enough to eat, it can grow into an adult in a matter of minutes.
The adult centipede, the size of which is comparable to a python, makes people wonder if it has become a sperm?
What if this thing was as magical as eating golden grass and a Heshuo centipede?
Thinking of this, I put the nail clippers back to its mouth. This time, I didn't try to put it away, but deliberately fed it to it.
The thing swallowed the nail clippers in one bite, and the nail clippers were almost about the same size as it, but after being swallowed, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
It is supposed to be able to secrete some kind of substance that melts metal instantly, and once the metal enters its mouth, it can be quickly dissolved.
I watched it look closely, and the little thing shook twice, but it didn't change.
It seems that this is a guy who eats metal, and he has no special abilities, and he can't compare to the preciousness of eating gold herbs, and he can't compare to the powerful aggression of the Heshuo centipede.
But this thing has a huge appetite, and if we keep it, we can eat all the metal stuff we have.
I thought about waiting for tomorrow dawn and throwing it into the valley.
This thing has no teeth, I tied it with nylon rope, not to mention, it really works.
Now I can sleep soundly.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, I got up.
The little thing struggled all night, probably exhausted, and lay there obediently sleeping.
I ignored it and went to see Xiong Xiaoyun, fortunately, Xiong Xiaoyun's physique is good, I took medicine, rested for a night, and has returned to normal.
Abin and Kakemu are preparing to eat, the aroma is overflowing, and it is very tempting.
I stretched and looked at the snow-capped mountains as the sun rose, feeling refreshed.
"Master Zhao, where is that thing, it's still in your tent?" Kakemu asked me suddenly.
I moved and said, "yes, and you wouldn't have thought that this thing is a metal eater and has a huge appetite. I doubt it'll eat up all of our metal stuff. I don't know if it has any accomplices, but let's just be careful with that thing. ”
"What is it?" Abin already knew what it was from Kakmuna, but had never seen it.
I got into the tent and lifted the thing out, "No, this is it." ”
Abin watched it for a while, and then lost interest. He didn't seem to have any interest in anything other than martial arts.
"It's ugly. That was his conclusion.
I smiled, "I'm going to throw this thing into the valley." ”
Just as he was about to leave, Xiong Xiaoyun came out of the tent and saw the things in my hand, very curious, "What is this?"
"Go ask Abin. ”
Xiong Xiaoyun didn't say anything more.
After walking a short distance, I saw a deep valley.
Throw it down, it will take a long time to climb up.
"Good luck little one. ”
I untied the nylon rope and, with a wave of my hand, threw the thing down.
The snow is thick, and it's so small, it won't cause any problems.
Throwing the thing away, I around and walked back.
Back at the camp, when they were ready, Abin handed me a bowl of hot stuff. On this plateau, there is no boiling water, and the water temperature will boil at 80 degrees. Drinking such water can lead to diarrhea and other diseases.
The charger and pressure cooker we brought with us can only last for a day or two, so let's enjoy it more if we can enjoy it now.
I took a sip of the hot soup, it was really warm from the inside out, and my body was warm inside.
"You drink more. I said to Xiong Xiaoyun.
Xiong Xiaoyun nodded and pressed his head very low, "Did I sleep in your arms for a long time last night?"
Ahem......
"You have a fever, and I'm afraid that the insulated bag won't be warm enough, so I let you lie in my arms for a while. It's good if the fever subsides, and if you can't bear it in the future, just say it, don't hold it up, remember?" I quickly changed the subject.
Xiong Xiaoyun sat next to me, and I could only see her side face, slightly reddened, and her long eyelashes blinked, which was very good-looking.
I secretly scolded myself in my heart, Zhao Suo, Zhao Suo, what are you thinking?
Don't forget, you're a family.
I ate quickly, then went into the tent and packed up.
Chu Yunfei's team didn't know where it had gone, but I hope they were just like us.
I was packing up my things when suddenly, a small soft hand reached out, and without paying attention, my hand caught on the little hand.
It was Xiong Xiaoyun, she ate a little bit, very little, and came to help me.
But these two hands are really embarrassing to grasp together.
