Chapter 231: A New Discovery
"Qiu Yan, you.." Xiao Li looked at Qiu Yan's appearance and said in a trembling voice behind his back.
The deep cave is like a melancholy eye, floating in this lonely darkness, and the eyes of each other draw out those heart-warming pasts, looming. Qiu Yan looked at Xiao Li's pale cheeks, hooked a smile, and said softly. "I'm fine. But no one has noticed that Qiu Yan's wound that was eaten by the three-eyed snake-like creature is quietly healing, not even Qiu Yan himself has noticed.
The two smiled at each other, and after a while, Qiu Yan seemed to ask casually. "By the way, Xiao Li, you are not bad at seeing, have you ever heard of this strange insect with three eyes and green light, shaped like a small snake devouring flesh and blood?"
Xiao Li slowly stood shoulder to shoulder with Qiu Yan and frowned. "I've never heard of it, and there's no record of such a strange insect in the annals."
At the same time, there was a shout in front of the two. "Still want to run!?"
Qiu Yan raised his eyes, it was after that Miao Jiang, at this moment he was pressed against the wall by one of Li Mowu's feet, he was so frightened that his heart was just like thousands of irons fading and beating, and he couldn't get half a sentence right, and he couldn't move half a step. Especially when he saw Qiu Yan's silver-haired and red-eyed appearance, he trembled even more, as if he could hear his arteries beating like two hammers in the temples on both sides, and the qi coming out of his chest seemed to be the sound of the wind coming from the cave.
Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and said something to Qiu Yan, looking like he was very respectful of Qiu Yan, with a sincere look.
"What is this old boy doing?" Li Mowu scratched his head and looked at Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and then looked at him and said. "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Miao Jiang's descendants nodded violently, and Qiu Yan asked again. "Why did you attack us? And what was that three-eyed monster just now?"
Because the descendants of Miao Jiang have no tongue coating, the words they want to express cannot be clear at all, like ants on a hot pot, and finally he pointed to the remains of the three-eyed monster insect on the ground, and tried very hard but spit out a non-standard pronunciation vaguely, but he still made everyone understand. "Snake .."
Qiu Yan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the short but thrilling, extremely dangerous fierce battle, and then thought about the words that Miao Jiang people said.
As he was talking, Qiu Yan suddenly found that there was one person missing, and as soon as he recognized it, Le Jin was gone.
Ask him where he went? Since entering the forest, he has not made a sound, like air, Xiao Sanzi pointed down with his chin, Qiu Yan saw that Le Jin didn't know when he climbed to the hole that Miao Jiang's descendants had just climbed out, playing a glow stick, and didn't know what he was looking at.
Qiu Yan looked at it and said coldly. "What is he going down for?"
"I don't know. Xiao Sanzi looked at Le Jin with a complicated expression, and seemed indifferent to Qiu Yan's cold words.
Since that seaside conversation, Le Jin has spoken even less, and even recently his face has frozen, no expression has appeared at all, and he can't guess what he is thinking, maybe he is really like what he said, he has always been the only one in his own world, so there is no need for him to show anything at all.
Looking at the light below, there should be something in the depths of the cave, swaying to the wind, Qiu Yan was worried that he would take this opportunity and slip away by himself. Qiu Yan looked at the flickering glimmer below, and couldn't tell if he was there. So he took the light stick in Li Mowu's hand and told him to go over and take a look.
Qiu Yan has a sturdy figure, and he turned over and went in after a few leaps, and the cave extends in all directions, and when he looks around, he was suddenly shocked.
"Bastard, this guy really ran away!" Qiu Yan scolded secretly, and as he spoke, he punched the stone wall beside him.
Furious, he was about to call Li Mowu and them down to discuss countermeasures, but suddenly the twisted branches in the cave moved, but Le Jin poked out of the dark place covered by the plants, startling Qiu Yan. When I looked up, it turned out that he was standing on top of this covering, not knowing what he was looking at.
When Le Jin saw Qiu Yan, he froze slightly, as if he didn't expect Qiu Yan to follow, so he beckoned Qiu Yan to pass.
Qiu Yan thought for a moment, then climbed over, and saw that the surface of the plant cover covered with green moss had been cut by branches, parasitic vines, and ferns, which had been cut by him with a knife, and the moss had been scraped open, and a large number of vines inside were cut off, revealing what was wrapped inside. A large number of tiny grass ticks can be seen in the water flow to wash down these vines.
Qiu Yan didn't know what Le Jin was looking for in this pile, he only smelled a bad smell, and was about to take a closer look, but Le Jin pulled open a large piece of dead vines again, and for a moment, Qiu Yan only felt that his eyes were spicy, and a large cloud of insects poured out of the hole.
Qiu Yan hurriedly retreated, almost falling from the inner hole, but fortunately the cave was wet but not slippery, and the grass ticks were washed away by the majestic current. Qiu Yan held on to the branch on the side, covered his nose and leaned over again, and saw the things wrapped in the cover.
It was a mass of rotting animal carcasses wrapped in fur, the skin had rotted black, I don't know what it was. Le Jin inserted the dagger into the fur, stirred it, and found that the wreckage had rotted away, and the skin was full of bones, and the vines grew into its body, tangled in its bones, and tightly entangled the wreckage with the tree. It was covered with moss, so Qiu Yan thought it was a plant hybrid wrapped around an ordinary tree.
Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask, Le Jin suddenly leaned over, stretched out his palm and touched the bones under the vines. Suddenly, countless grass ticks swarmed out of it like a tide, like lightning, and at the same time his hand ripped something out of the skeleton.
Lejin put the thing that had been pinched out of the skeleton into the faint light of the glow stick, and looked at it carefully. Qiu Yan leaned over and found that it was a blue-green object about the size of a fist. Le Jin stretched out his hand to the place where the water flowed, rinsed it, and then took it back, Qiu Yan was surprised to find that he had seen this thing before, and it turned out to be a twisted old-fashioned copper flashlight.
After a little look, Qiu Yan knew that this thing was something after the reform and opening up in the eighties and nineties in China, the copper shell was rusted all over green, Qiu Yan was extremely puzzled, how could this kind of thing appear in this animal skeleton? Could this be a human skeleton?
As he pondered, Le Jin put his hand into the skeleton again, and this time there were no insects crawling out. He closed his eyes and felt inside, and soon he caught something, and it seemed to be some big thing, and with the strength of his other hand, he dug it out. Qiu Yan tightened his throat as soon as he saw it, it turned out to be a human hand bone, which had rotted to the point of being full of holes, and it was filled with black rotten dirt that didn't know what was rotting.
