The whole cave was quiet again.

However, following the light of the flashlight, Lei Huanxi clearly saw the qiē in front of him.

It was a dozen bug-like creatures. It's said to be a worm, but it's not quite like it.

Each worm is about 5 centimeters long and about 0.5 centimeters thick. The back is rough and cracked, all of which are vertical lines, and the body is gray-black.

Once attached to a rock, even if there is light, it is impossible to tell whether it is a stone or a worm.

Lei Huanxi's eyes are good, but after entering this cave several times, he was stunned and didn't find these strange insects.

And at this moment, under the light of the flashlight, more than a dozen insects were stunned and motionless.

"Mr. Lei, look at this side again. Qu Tucong shone the dozen or so Chong with a flashlight, and at the same time took out another flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, and shone it elsewhere.

Nothing.

A stone is a stone!

"Mr. Lei, you scratch the stone. Qu Tucong reminded him.

Lei Huanxi's hand touched the stone, and when he touched it, he felt that something was wrong, although it was hard, it was obviously not the feeling of a stone.

He grabbed hard, and suddenly grabbed more than a dozen worms in his hand.

God, all the worms attached to this mountain wall are like this!

At this time, the strong light of the flashlight happened to shine on the insect's body, and immediately something even more strange happened:

The worms in Lei Huanxi's hands have changed, they are dead!

It's not dead, it's a stiff, bark-like plant!

Then a particularly fragrant smell entered Lei Huanxi's nose.

"This, this, this isn't Cordyceps, is it?" Lei Huanxi blurted out with a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"It's not. Qu Tucong replied in the affirmative: "Cordyceps sinensis is a fungal spores that grow by absorbing nutrients from the larvae of manta moths, and it can only grow at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters, and its shape is not like this at all." ”

"Hey, how do you know so clearly?" Lei Huanxi was a little curious.

Qu Tucong smiled: "I have a relative in my family who is in the Cordyceps business. And perennial Cordyceps production area purchase. ”

Lei Huanxi nodded: "But I always feel that this must have something to do with Cordyceps." By the way, how did you find out?"

Qu Tucong roughly said. After Professor Luo and Professor Kuang left, he and Brother Hong went into the cave and cleaned up the ground.

Brother Hong, they went out first, and Qu Tucong stayed behind to do a comprehensive examination in the cave.

As a result, when I checked it, I found that these were obviously in front of me, but they were very hidden. A strange insect that can't be found at all.

Moreover, he found that when the strange insects were attached to the rocks and their backs were facing outward, the light did not harm them, but once they were facing the light, the light would have a severe effect on them according to the strength of the light.

When the light is low, they are so stunned that they don't know how to dodge. Once the light intensifies, they die. Then it turns into a bark-like plant.

When each worm dies, it emits a special fragrance.

"How many such worms are there?"

Qu Tucong pointed to the cave: "According to my estimates, the rock walls of this cave are everywhere, and according to their size, it is possible to be millions or tens of millions. ”

So much?

"Do you smell anything?" Lei Huanxi suddenly twitched his nose.

Qu Tucong sniffed hard, and then shook his head in confusion.

"No, there must be some smell. "Ray Huanxi believes in his nose very much.

As soon as this sentence was finished, another peculiar scene happened.

A large rock wall near the northwest corner of the rock wall suddenly moved.

It stands to reason that this strange creature is afraid of humans, or of animals that are afraid of a qiē. Usually disguised as rocks and motionless.

But at this time, in the presence of two humans, they actually moved.

"Turn off the flashlight. By feeling. Lei Huanxi hurriedly ordered.

He said it easily, in this dark cave, he could see clearly, but how could Qu Tucong see it? But he still turned off the flashlight as Lei Huanxi commanded.

Lei Huanxi saw:

There were at least tens of thousands of these strange insects, rushing towards the north of the cave.

It rushed very fast, when it reached the cave to the north. A looming light appeared, and then disappeared in a short time.

All those strange insects are gone!

Dazzling, really dazzling?

Lei Huanxi could see that the rock wall in the north was also active just now!

Is there a lot of strange insects attached to it?

Also, where did that light come from?

Lei Huanxi was sure he was not mistaken.

"Qu Tu, get out. ”

Lei Huanxi commanded. He hurried out of the cave.

Brother Hong, they had been waiting outside for a long time, and as soon as they saw Lei Huanxi coming out, they couldn't wait to say, "Huanxi, do you see it?" When Qu Tu showed me for the first time, I looked stupid. ”

"See. Lei Huanxi didn't have time to discuss with them what kind of insect this was: "Go find some three splints, and then find more cloth, and ask for black cloth." There was really no black cloth, so he found something for me to dye black. There are many things, and I think it should be at least three meters high. By the way, find me another big pocket. ”

Brother Hong didn't know what Lei Huanxi wanted to do with such a thing, but since he had ordered it, he immediately took a few security guards to do it.

"Qu Tu, don't let any tourists in. Lei Huanxi was very sure that he had found a very novel creature in Fairy Mountain: "Also, can your relative who is in the cordyceps business be able to contact him?"

"Yes, at this time, he shouldn't have set off yet. ”

"Invite him to Xiantao Village, as fast as he can, I will reimburse him twice as much as he wants, and I will also seal a big red envelope for him. ”

"Hey, I know, he lives on the edge of Yundong, not far away, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive at night now. ”

It was not easy for Brother Hong to find the materials that Qi Lei Huanxi wanted. It took more than three hours to get it all done.

Mo Fatzi and Anne also arrived when they heard the news.

Lei Huanxi had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as I saw them come in with the materials, I didn't say much, and let everyone follow them into the cave.

When you go to the rock wall on the north side, ask everyone to turn on the flashlight, and tell them not to shine on the rock wall as much as possible.

This strange insect has a strong resistance to light on its back. But what if?

Then ask the security guard to wrap the three splints in a black cloth to seal off the north side, and make sure that there is no too much light leaking.

He was sure that the strange insect was some kind of magical creature, and he didn't want to cause any harm to it for human reasons.

The summit of the hill to the north is much lower than the hall, but it is also three meters high.

It took a lot of effort for those security guards to cover up this place according to Lei Huanxi's orders.

So many people crowded here. It's a little cramped.

"Have you brought all the flashlights?"

"Bring it!"

"I open it all and shine on the front. ”

A dozen strong flashlights rang out and shone at the rock wall in front of them, and everyone immediately understood what was happening.

On the rock wall in front, there are dense patches of "bark":

Strange insects!

The monsters are all dead, but they seem to be hiding some secrets.

"Dial it down, dial it all down. Be careful, everybody. Brother Hong, what about the big bag I asked you to bring? Everyone put all this bark in the big bag. ”

As the "bark" was peeled off piece by piece, everyone smelled a very good fragrance. And the smell is getting stronger.

"What the hell is this?" asked Anne, who was helping on the sidelines.

"I don't know. Lei Huanxi shook his head and said, "But I can be sure that this kind of thing is definitely very useful and precious, maybe we will make a fortune this time!"

As the "bark" was heavily peeled off, a light began to appear.

Lei Huanxi knew that his judgment was right: "I was right, I guessed right." ”

"What did you guess correctly?" asked Brother Hong.

Lei Huanxi pointed in front of him: "You think, if the entire cave is full of such strange insects, then so many years have passed. As the number of strange insects increases, the cave is bound to get smaller and smaller. And because they are afraid of light, they can't contact the outside world, which means that this is the only place they can survive. The number of places to live is rapidly decreasing, and the race is facing extinction. What are they going to do? There's only one way to keep this race alive, and that's to kill themselves!"

"Suicide?" all exclaimed.

"Suicide!" Lei Huanxi replied affirmatively, "I guess that behind this, there will be a cave, and it is the only place in the entire cave where there is a light source! will die instantly. They then cling to the rock wall, blocking the light source there for their companions. After a while, the next group of monsters that commit suicide will use their bodies to knock their companions' corpses into the cave, and continue to block the light source for their companions. This is the so-called suicide! Only in this way can they protect their place of existence and protect their race!"

Qu Tucong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took a long time before he said: "Mr. Lei, you just looked at it just now, and you knew it? It's so dark inside, it's just a flash of light, have you judged it clearly?"

Mo Fat sighed on the side: "I said it a long time ago, don't look at our brother Huanxi, who usually seems to have little roots in his brain, but he is smarter than anyone else in big things." ”

Lei Huanxi didn't have time to deal with such compliments: "That's why I want you to find three splints and black cloth." Oh, it's broken, we've got rid of the corpses of these strange insects, what will we do with them in the future? Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it yet, let's do it quickly. ”

Soon, the corpses of the strange insects were cleaned up, and a light appeared.

When the security guards saw the qiē in front of them, they even forgot to turn off the flashlight in shock.

Lei Huanxi was right in all his judgments, and a big cave really appeared in front of them! (To be continued......
