Chapter 234: A Forest of Trees

"Look, that's the black crab. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Angie jumped out of the boat and pointed to the place where the bow light was shining, some small things that were stumbling and fleeing.

Zhou Yu took a few steps over, grabbed one, and took it to his eyes to observe it carefully: "It's really pitch black, there is no variegation at all." I don't know if there is anything peculiar about this crab. Baby, have you researched it? ”

Anji nodded and shook her head again: "I haven't studied the results yet." ”

Then he turned around and pointed to the deep darkness and said, "That's it." ”

As he spoke, he took a pistol from the ship and pinned it to his waist, and took a flashlight. Zhou Yu also took the firearm and lifted the battery.

Anji's flashlight shone around, and the appearance of the cave entrance was completely revealed. A neat, circular opening.

"I don't think the cave was formed naturally." Anji led the way in front, and Zhou Yu followed behind her.

"Because it's too regular. Although the walls of the cave are mottled and moss grows due to the erosion of time and groundwater, it can still be seen that it is very smooth when you look closely. Angie also deliberately uncovered a piece of moss to completely expose the cave wall.

"What's more, the last time I walked along this cave for more than ten minutes, the size and shape of the cave have hardly changed."

"Artificial?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.

Anji frowned: "It's unlikely, I believe it's some kind of animal." ”

"Animals?" Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "The height of this cave is almost close to four meters, and the width is about the same, so what kind of creature do you think created this cave?" ”

"It's a very huge creature for sure. Or a big python. Anji said: "I definitely wouldn't have had such an idea before, but after the Spiral Turtle appeared, I knew that this world is not as simple as it is said in books." If there are ancient creatures as large as the whirling turtle, why can't there be a large python with a diameter of four meters? ”

"Makes sense." Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, and then thought so.

But he said: "But it seems that this cave has been formed for I don't know how many years, and it can be seen from the moss and the mottling of the cave wall that even if there is such a big python, I don't know how many years ago." ”

"Perhaps." Anji Road.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the cave, kicking and tapping, and it was extremely clear.

The light of a strong flashlight, shining ahead, expelled only a slight darkness. Linked to Anji's speculation, the cave became a bit mysterious.

Occasionally, a few drops of ice-cold water, dripping from the roof of the cave, hit some small puddles at the bottom of the cave, making a ding-dong sound.

In this cave, there are also those black crabs. In addition to this crab, there is also a scorpion that is crystal clear. This scorpion is not large, no more than ten centimeters from head to tail, but it moves quickly and violently, feeding on those black crabs.

Moreover, the shell of this scorpion is very hard, especially the tall cone-tail, which can pierce the shell of the crab at once. There is also poison, which seems to be a kind of neuroparalyzing toxin, when it pierces into the crab's body, only for a moment, the crab does not move. But Zhou Yu clearly felt that the crab still had vitality!

"This crystal scorpion should have a certain value." Zhou Yu stepped on a scorpion to death and said to Anji: "You can study it." ”

"I'm already doing it, but it hasn't come out yet." Angie replied.

After walking for about ten minutes, Anji stopped: "I returned here last time." The flashlight in her hand shone a mark on the cave wall: "This is the mark I left behind." ”

"We walked about three kilometres, although not in a straight line." Zhou Yu pondered: "Now it seems that the length of this cave may exceed our expectations. ”

"That's why I said this cave leads deep into the Rocky Mountains." Anji Road.

"It's pristine land, with no human footprints, so maybe it will surprise me." She was looking forward to it.

With Zhou Yu following, Anji didn't have any worries. She believed in her man and could protect her. She believes that in this world, no animal can threaten Zhou Yu's safety.

"I hope so." Zhou Yu's expression was calm.

I walked forward for another five or six minutes, and there was still no trace of the end. But the crystal scorpions are gone, and it seems that they only exist in the previous section. In place of the Crystal Scorpion, there are two other creatures - one is an insect that is incredibly similar to a cricket, but much larger. The other is spiders. Spiders of the same color as the cave walls, these spiders make large and small holes in the cave walls, and hide in those holes to prey on the kind of insects that resemble crickets.

"This kind of insect..."Anji turned out to be an insect similar to a cricket caught by Zhou Yu, and couldn't help but observe carefully: "The mouthparts are the same as mosquitoes, they should suck some kind of juice for a living..." ”

"Moss?" Zhou Yu took off a piece of moss and twisted it: "It's thick, the juice is thick, and it's slippery." ”

"You can look into it." As she spoke, Angie took off a piece of moss, packed it in a plastic bag, and put it in her backpack: "I want another spider." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, reached out and took out a rock-colored spider the size of a baby's fist from a small hole in the cave wall, shook it to death with a gentle shock, and handed it to Anji for preservation.

Along the way, black crabs, crystal scorpions, cricket-like insects, rock-colored spiders, finger-sized bats, snakes as thin as wire, and so on.

These creatures that have never been seen before surprised Anji and made Zhou Yu groan.

The world is mysterious, and although humans claim to be the masters of the world, there are still quite a few secrets on this planet that have not yet been revealed to humans. And the area where humans live is only a small part of the ground for the entire planet. The ocean, the underground, these larger areas are places where humans have never set foot before.

There are all kinds of magical existences in these places. What is showing Zhou Yu now is only an extremely subtle part.

The deeper they went into the cave, the more strange things appeared in front of the two of them. Angie was excited at first, but after seeing more, this excitement gradually cooled down.

And her backpack couldn't hold any more specimens.

The two of them sped up and meandered all the way forward, stopping and stopping, and after at least fifteen hours, Zhou Yu's perception of the air had changed significantly.

Angie looked a little tired.

Although she is very healthy, she is not as good as Zhou Yu after all. Although I took a few breaks on the way, I was too high for too long, which was really damaging to my mind.

At this moment, Zhou Yu directly picked up Anji on his back and strode forward.

"The air here is getting clearer and fresher." Zhou Yu said: "Maybe the exit is coming." ”

"We... How long have you been walking? Angie was a little confused.

"It's been about fifteen hours." Zhou Yu sighed: "I didn't expect this cave to be so long, fortunately you weren't reckless last time, otherwise it would be troublesome." ”

Anji clinged to Zhou Yu's broad back and snorted.

Turning a corner, Zhou Yu's footsteps were amazed for a while-on the cave wall in front of him, dense black things, flew up in an instant, almost covering this cave!

And under the soles of the feet, it also became soft.

"It's a bat!" "It's more than twice the size of a normal bat. ”

"What's so surprising about that." Zhou Yu shook his head: "Haven't I seen that kind of finger-sized bat before?" ”

Stepping on the thick luminous sand, Zhou Yu's powerful eyesight finally saw a ray of light in front of him, and he was in good spirits: "The exit has arrived!" ”

After another turn, at last, a cluster of light slanted in, and the bats were seen turning into a black whirlwind, hovering at the mouth of the cave. Zhou Yu said: "Cover your face!" ”

Bowed his head and shook off his steps, and rushed over.

Kicking on the ground and jumping up, Zhou Yu carried Anji on his back and jumped out directly from the hole that had been almost half covered.

Finally, I saw the warm sunshine again.

"Put me down."

Angie struggled slightly.

Zhou Yu put her down and began to look at the surrounding scenery.

It is said that he saw the sun, but in fact, the surroundings are still very gloomy. In Zhou Yu's eyes, there were only some slight places, and the sun was shining down. This hole is one of them.

It's probably a valley.

As far as the eye can see, there is a dense forest. Thick, straight trunks of trees occupy almost all of the ground.

Zhou Yu had never seen such a dense forest that could grow to such a huge tree!

It's incredible!

You know, because of the snatching of sunlight and water, once there is a big tree in a certain place, there must be no other big trees in a certain area.

One piece of land within the range can only support one large tree.

And here, those thick trunks that hug each other, densely packed, almost allow only one person to pass through. It's just too dense.

Even though the valley is rich in nutrients and water, what about the sun? How can trees grow so big without enough sunlight?

"Look at it!"

Just when Zhou Yu was wondering, Anji exclaimed.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up and grin slightly.

"I see..."

He couldn't help but say to himself: "I said how can these 'tree trunks' grow so big, it turns out to be a family!" ”

It turned out that those 'tree trunks' were not tree trunks at all, but aerial roots hanging from huge branches on their heads!

"Is it a forest alone?"

Anji said: "I'm afraid there is only one tree here, and it is an extremely rare super tree!" She looked around: "This forest is its air roots!" The trunk must be hidden in the center! ”

Zhou Yu looked up at the cage formed by the interlaced branches and leaves above his head, and nodded again and again with deep understanding: "I have heard such rumors before, but it is better to hear than to witness, it is really shocking." ”
