76. an iron chain
Originally, everyone was relieved when they found the cave camping, but no one expected that something would happen in a blink of an eye.
"Shall we hide in a different place?" someone whispered, "What if something in the forest is chased out?"
"No need to change," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "They obviously wanted to hide from us, but we took the place first, which at least shows that the cave we are in should be safe enough." ”
"What the hell are they hiding?" Liu Bu wondered.
At this time, Xu Xianchu looked at the forest outside the cave: "They may be avoiding this forest, or the forest at night." ”
Ren Xiaosu also nodded: "I think so too, animals are far more alert to danger than humans, because that is their instinct." Do you remember, when we passed through the canyon, we saw human bones lying there, but when we entered the forest, we couldn't see any animal bones, which was abnormal. ”
"As long as it is a living thing, then there will definitely be birth, old age, sickness and death, how can it not even be seen a single animal skeleton?" Ren Xiaosu continued: "I had discarded fish bones and fish meat in the woods south of the canyon before, but when I went to check them the next morning, I found that they were gone, and there was no trace around them, exactly the same way that Xu Xia's body was lost, and these missing bones or people all had one thing in common, that is, being in the woods. ”
"Yes," Xu Xianchu nodded, "And these creatures are so afraid of the woods, there is obviously something wrong with this forest." ”
Man-eating woods......
Everyone else looked at the woods outside and wondered, could it be that after the evolution of animals, even plants have evolved?
Xu Xianchu comforted: "But in fact, this is a good thing, since we have discovered the law, then we can take precautions in advance." ”
The fear of the unknown becomes the fear of the known, and even if you understand how it works, the feeling of fear can decrease a little bit.
yes, as long as you don't go into the woods at night, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, the previous psychological shadow was even dispelled, Wang Lei smiled: "Then we must find a place to camp away from the woods before nightfall." ”
Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "Not only at night, but also during the day, we don't know if these animals and plants have evolved to the end, what if they also eat people during the day?"
"Then let's go along the ridge and col where the trees are relatively scarce!" Xu Xianchu made his final decision.
Everyone chewed on the rhizomes of the pine tree again, and at this time someone asked, "Ren Xiaosu, how did you find out that the roots of the pine tree can be eaten?"
"I didn't find out, someone in the market town mentioned it," Ren Xiaosu calmly added some firewood to the bonfire.
Liu Bu wanted to ease the relationship with Ren Xiaosu, so he hurriedly praised it at this moment: "The people in your market town know too much about this wilderness, this is all the wisdom of human beings!"
Liu Bu didn't know how to blow it, so he could only blow it in embarrassment.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not quite agree with his statement, Ren Xiaosu glanced at him and said: "This is not wisdom, who wants to eat the roots of pine trees if they can eat well?" The people in the market town said that eating pine roots was still a matter of the early years, and when I heard about this, I could imagine how many people starved to death in those years. ”
In this era when there is no tomorrow for the homeless, everything is about survival.
It was originally embarrassing, but now Liu Bu is even more embarrassed.
At this time, Luo Xinyu eased the atmosphere and said: "Why have the beasts become larger, but we humans have not? ”
"Maybe it's because human beings have evolved in different ways," Xu Xianchu said, "and human beings have always evolved brainpower from ancient times to the present. ”
Ren Xiaosu said: "I have heard another saying, last year I escaped from the wolf's mouth, so I asked Mr. Zhang with doubts, he asked me a question: some creatures in nature do not actually need a lot of exercise to grow strong muscles, he said that there is an animal called chimpanzees, humans have put them in cages, even if they just eat, sleep and sleep every day, they can also grow muscles far beyond humans, and human beings eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, but the muscles will atrophy. ”
Yang Xiaojin opened his mouth and said, "That Mr. Zhang in your academy is not an ordinary person. ”
Ren Xiaosu didn't know where Yang Xiaojin judged it, he didn't know if Zhang Jinglin was an ordinary person, but he knew that Zhang Jinglin was a good person.
He continued: "Mr. Zhang said that there is a gene in the human body that restricts the development of muscles, and as humans get smarter, this gene is constantly evolving. He said it was called the price of wisdom. ”
Everyone fell into contemplation, as if this was really the case, there are upper-class people in the barrier to fitness and weight loss, and fitness and weight loss are even a trend of upper-class people, and it was particularly popular the year before last.
Including Liu Bu was also elegant, but after he worked out, he realized how difficult it was to train his muscles.
It's just that at this time, Yang Xiaojin suddenly poured a basin of cold water on Ren Xiaosu: "I've seen a transcendent person with an evolved physique, how can I say this?"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, and he pondered: "Did his ancestor have something to do with the beast?!"
Yang Xiaojian: "......"
Xu Xianchu: "......"
Liu Bu: "......"
Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu speechlessly, this is already a curse!
Luo Xinyu suddenly became interested: "That Mr. Zhang in your Jizhen School is very special, he must be very knowledgeable, right?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and replied: "It's quite erudite, but when I encounter something I don't understand in class, I will ......make it up."
"He usually reads books or something when he's free, and there are such people in the barrier," Luo Xinyu asked: "Those people are very powerful." ”
"No," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "In his spare time, he grows vegetables in the yard......"
Luo Xinyu was speechless for a while, why are most things in the market town different from what she thinks.
However, Ren Xiaosu thinks that Zhang Jinglin is very good, he reads but does not read dead books, even if he is very knowledgeable, he can still bend over and hoe the ground.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground in the woods.
Bang la, bla blah.
The chain collided with the ground with a crisp sound, and the owner of the sound seemed to be crawling through the woods patrolling his territory.
Ren Xiaosu and they were terrified, how could there be creatures that could walk through the woods at night? Could it be that their previous judgments were all wrong?
Aren't those animals hiding in the woods?!
