Episode 178 Silent Killing
If humans fall asleep upside down.
The next day, in addition to having a nosebleed without money, it is likely that IQ will also be sent to the hospital for rescue.
And bats are born to pull the wind like this.
When they are not flying, they hang upside down at all times, as if mocking fragile humans, and they don't have to worry about their own blood filling their brains.
Bat Springs at night.
The murmuring of the water makes this woodland more and more silent.
In the human world, silence is reassuring, while in the animal world, silence is terrifying.
You don't know if there is danger around you?
I always feel that there is a pair of silent eyes watching your every move in the silence.
Bats in the rainforest like to live with water at night.
The biggest reason is that the flowers and trees are flourishing at the water's edge, and the rich fragrance of the flowers makes all kinds of small animals salivating for nectar thousands of meters away.
Such as moths, bees, butterflies, beetles, and so on.
These are the bats' favorite delicacies.
They just need to hang the southeast branch upside down and wait for the rabbit.
Perhaps, there will be a special surprise tonight.
Because there is a special group of visitors who have quietly come to this silent killing place.
This guest is none other than Yu Qiyun, who braved the terrifying night of the Amazon in order to save the terrible role of the rice ball as a surrogate for the cocoon bee.
The butterfly wind rested silently on a hidden leaf.
Yu rode the clouds and Yue'an, prostrate on the edge of the green leaves, motionless, with the help of the faint moonlight, to observe the bat spring that terrified the ant tribe.
It is said to be a spring, but at a glance, it is obviously a sense of the river, because for the few humans who have been shrunk 100 times and can swim in a teacup, no matter how small the spring is, it is a big river.
The trees here are thicker, and the mist rising from the spring water fills the air, making Yu Qiyun's vision hazy.
4:12 a.m.
Yue An looked at his watch, which was much faster than expected, which made them feel a lot more relieved. This means that if the mandala is harvested successfully, then it is definitely possible to rush back to the ant nest before noon and operate on the rice ball.
Through the binoculars, the three of them carefully searched every corner near the spring, and they were quietly reciting in their hearts: mandala...... Datura stramonium......
Strive to suppress the anxiety of your heart with faith. If Princess Harunba's information is wrong, then they will really cry to death in this rainforest tonight.
Butterfly Wind and Princess Xia Ye waited aside.
They could only watch silently, for safety, they couldn't observe it closely, and they were very curious about the telescope in the hands of humans, which was so far away from the Bat Spring, could they really see clearly with the strange things in their hands?
The Ant Jasmine and Iron Flower Squad surrounded them, as a group of loyal bodyguards, as soon as there was a situation, they would remind everyone to sit on the butterfly and fly away.
However, to everyone's surprise and relief, apart from the sound of the spring flowing, they did not see any terrible figures of bats, which made their hearts full of doubts, could it be that all the terrifying rumors about the bat springs before were false?
Or have the bats moved?
Or is it lurking in a hidden corner?
The last guess made them put away their smiles and become more and more vigilant.
……
This is the source of the spring water.
Since Princess Haruba didn't come in at all last time, they couldn't know the specific location of the mandala, and their plan was to look down from both sides of the spring source in turn, carefully and carefully not letting go of every corner.
A quarter of an hour passed in silence.
After they changed their observation position five times, they finally saw Li Enchanting on the branch on the left with an excited face.
She forcibly endured her excitement, quietly crawled over, and said to Yue An and Yu Qiyun in a low voice:
"Three o'clock, one piece!"
The two boys' hearts jumped out, and they came to the place where Li Enchanted was crouching, and raised their binoculars tremblingly:
In the mist, on the other side of the spring, clusters of black mandala flowers, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, like a stunning banshee in the night, with a charming dark fragrance to attract every life to come and sacrifice for her......
Yu Qiyun put down the binoculars and exclaimed:
"This mandala is like a morning glory, but the petals are pointed like elegant swords, and the charm and sharpness are perfectly blended. ”
He turned his face to look at Yue An and jumped.
Yue An's face was as white as earth, his lips were blue, and he took a deep breath, put down his binoculars, and said in a trembling voice:
"This big piece is really a mandala, but you take a closer look at it!"
Li Yourao and Yu Qiyun raised their binoculars in surprise and looked in the direction of the top of the mandala flowers. I was so shocked that I almost called out.
On the beautiful and bewitching mandala flowers, there are rows of strange figures hanging on the dark branches, like ghost bodyguards protecting the flowers.
It's a bat!
Li Yourao counted them, and there were hundreds!
Even buy Karma!
Is this still a living!
The three of them were soaked with cold sweat.
Half a day.
Li Yourao said in a deep voice: "They are so quiet, they must be asleep, let's sneak over quietly......"
"Bats sleep with white heads and forage for food at night. ”
Yue An was stunned by Li Da Meinu's ignorance.
"They're not moving, they're standby. When he was a child in the countryside, he could see bats flying around by the ancient well and in the old house at night in spring and summer, catching mosquitoes.
"Obviously I'm sleeping, I hear their snoring!" Li Yourao gritted her teeth and expressed disbelief.
Yue An raised the binoculars: "Look." ”
Li Yourao hurriedly picked up the binoculars.
In the distance, two moths were cautiously flying past, and they had also spotted bats, so they had been hiding in a corner, and they had been standing still.
But the fragrance of the mandala flowers, which was so strong and unusually strong, made them struggle in pain, and at last their appetite overcame reason, and they flew over the spring together.
Li Yourao held her breath and watched.
She believed that the bats must have fallen asleep, and sure enough, she saw that the two moths had successfully crossed the spring and landed on the strange petals of the mandala, and Li Enchanting seemed to see them smile comfortingly at each other.
The two moths looked at each other, slowly straightened their beaks curled like butterflies, inserted them into the center of the flower, and just as they were happily sucking, two strange black shadows had stopped behind them silently......
Li Yourao put down the binoculars in despair.
Within a minute, she watched the moth go from birth to death. I also saw that strange pair of big ears.
"It's easier to deal with other bats, they usually make chirping sounds before hunting, and use echoes to locate prey, so as soon as we hear it call, we don't move immediately, and it won't be easy for it to spot us. Yue An sighed and continued,
"The big-eared bat doesn't rely on sonar to hunt, but only on its unusually sensitive ears, which makes it difficult to guard. ”
The words of the more An.
Let the butterflies and ants on the leaves wrinkle their antennae, this bat spring is really a dangerous place, and they have only a dead end if they rush to go up.
"Then what should we do?" said Li Yourao, with a sad face.
"Then it's only until dawn, don't they sleep during the day?" Yu Qiyun muttered.
"No, it's too tight to wait until dawn, and it's so foliage and dark that it's not much different from night. Yue An categorically denied, "Bats are afraid of light, so they choose to go out by day and night, we really can't guarantee that they won't come out after dawn." ”
Yu Qiyun was silent.
When it comes to animal and plant knowledge, Yue An does have more say than he does. (To be continued.) )
