Chapter 22: The Strange Fish
I followed him and asked, "Such a thin fire earthworm, it won't open its mouth to bite, what is taboo about it?" ”
He just replied lightly: "It has a lower ignition point than white phosphorus." ”
I stared at the fire earthworms in disbelief, "Huh? So dangerous? "But if it weren't so dangerous, they wouldn't be called fire earthworms.
I remember that our chemistry teacher once said that there are two kinds of phosphorus that generally encounter high-temperature combustion, among which the ignition point of red phosphorus is relatively high, probably burning at a high temperature of more than 200 degrees, and the other is white phosphorus, its ignition point is particularly low, when the surrounding temperature reaches 40 degrees, it will automatically burn, and white phosphorus is highly toxic, and it will produce flames when burning, not to mention that the temperature of the flame is very high, and if it is serious, it will burn people, if the fire earthworm is lower than the ignition point of white phosphorus, the body temperature of ordinary people is about 36 degrees, Because bones contain protein and fat, once burned, it is difficult to extinguish them, and if we are unfortunate enough to touch it, won't the body automatically burn until it burns to death?
The more I thought about it, the more I resisted this group of fire earthworms, and the more I looked at it, the more disgusted I was that the road they gave us was too narrow, just walking, and my feet suddenly became empty, and at this time we were only about two centimeters close, and my face was almost pasted, and I stared at his eyes in surprise and asked, "Why are you holding me!" ”
Thinking about my trembling legs, he said disdainfully, "You're walking too slowly." ”
I sighed helplessly in my heart, the small universe that had just risen was instantly beaten back to its original shape, and I always thought that I was invincible if I was not afraid of zongzi, it turned out that there were still so many creatures in the world that I still had the courage to overcome slowly.
I will not be anxious, let alone retreat, because I know that sooner or later, I will be like them, stepping through thousands of mountains and rivers, overcoming many difficulties and obstacles. until becoming a qualified ...... Female tomb robber.
As Uncle Fat said, once you set foot on this road, there is no turning back.
Even if I leave Uncle Fat, I will still travel between the ancient tombs. Not only because I had promised Leng Mu a few years of training, but also because I wanted to find my father, who often disappeared mysteriously, and as her daughter, I couldn't stand by and find him. And bring him home.
"Gollum...... Grunt. ”
I listened intently to a voice not far away, "What sound?" Is there still a hot spring here? ”
He carried me forward for a while, and only when he couldn't see the fire earthworm that he put me down, I pointed to the boiling mist in front of me, "Yes! It was as if the sound of water came from there. ”
Leng Mu and I walked along the sound of the water, and when we got closer, we realized that the water of the lake was a little strange, and if it was a pot, there might be hot water boiling in it, and we might be able to accept it. Or maybe it's a stream, and I can understand the wonders of nature, but the problem is that it's a lake! How much geothermal heat does it take to boil at such a high temperature and the water is full of bubbles? And there are no volcanoes nearby, which is incredible!
But I've seen a lot of strange things along the way, but I'm not surprised, usually the visual effect is often not what you think, maybe the moisture is caused by other reasons. Is there just some bubbles in the water? I walked over, wanting to test the temperature of the water, just as I was washing my face, but the cold wood suddenly stopped me. "Don't go over! The water of the lake is piping hot. ”
I was puzzled and asked, "How can you be sure?" "After all, he hadn't tried.
The lake is located in the depths of the old forest, the surrounding ground is very humid and stuffy, and there are often frogs jumping around in the jungle, he pointed to the frog that was jumping into the lake in front of him, and he was scalded to death the moment he fell into the water, and then several frogs jumped in succession. It's almost overboard and dead!
Because the water vapor above is too large, the lake is very clear, and you can vaguely see the bottom of the lake, I pulled him over, and pointed to the strange fish jumping in the lake in disbelief, "It...... How are they okay? ”
The group of strange fish is no different from ordinary fish, they all have fish scales and fish tails, the difference is that their bodies have two more wings, and their eyes are purple, Leng Mu stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, but as soon as he touched the surface of the water, he immediately stretched out his hand back, shook his head and said, "The water is hot." ”
I thought to myself, what strange fish are the opposite of nature, and they are not a good thing at first glance! I don't know what Coca brought us here for, to give us fish?
Leng Mu stared at the group of fish and pondered for a while, took out a sword from behind him and stabbed it into a black fish and pierced it, I thought that the clear lake water would render a red halo, surprisingly this fish did not bleed at all, ordinary fish were pierced into the fish body like this and left the water, and it was specified that it would not survive, but the tail of this fish was swaying desperately, and the vitality was so tenacious, I looked at it and was a little worried, for fear that this fish would plop to the ground and crawl towards me, then I would definitely cry in fright, Seeing that Leng Mu was walking in the direction of the fire earthworm, I hurriedly shouted, "Hey! What are you doing! ”
The fish had just been fished out of the boiling water, and even in summer, I could see that it was still steaming, but it was a live fish, and I didn't know how hard its shell was, and I didn't smell the smell of fish after it had been fluttering in front of us for a long time.
But the cold wood threw it into the fire earthworm pile, after the high temperature, these earthworms immediately burned, accustomed to a hundred degrees of high temperature of the fish even if not afraid of hot, but by so many flames burned for two minutes, it is still full of vitality, like a fireball on the ground constantly wriggling, around the flames more and more, about five minutes later, it came out of a kind of white smoke, the smell is very unpleasant, of course, not the smell of grilled fish, but a kind of plastic burnt mixed with the smell of garlic, very unpleasant, Rao so, The vitality of this fish is simply against the sky, and it is still swinging its tail on the ground, almost seeing its angry expression, I was so frightened that I leaned behind Leng Mu, "Why don't we put out the fire for it, it looks weird." ”
He said lightly: "The fire earthworm has already burrowed into its flesh, and it is too late." ”
I pinched my nose and asked, "Huh? What will happen? ”
"It's going to burn into its bones."
"So what?" I asked, puzzled.
He glanced back at me and didn't answer until ten minutes later, when I put down my right hand that was pinching my nose and sniffed into the air, "Isn't that what mutants smell like?" Could it be that mutants have something to do with these fish? ”
But if it's that simple, what did Coca bring us here for? Is it just to tell us the truth? Is she so kind? (To be continued.) )
