Chapter 39: The Bird Catcher

According to Li Hao, everyone followed him, and walked like this for a long time, the original dry and loose gravel pavement on the ground began to change, feeling a little wet, and there was yellow soil, no longer the appearance of gravel, not only that, you can feel the moist air with your nose, it is close to noon at the moment, the temperature is gradually rising, and you can already feel that the dense fog is gradually dissipating, and the visibility has improved a lot.

"Look at that, Li Hao." Meng Fan stopped, pointed diagonally ahead and said to Li Hao.

"That's the entrance to the ruins, and it's here that the bean's pattern was found, and if you go any further, there will be something terrifying."

Li Hao and the others looked in the direction pointed by Meng Fan, there was a canyon in front of the oblique, on both sides were towering peaks, at the entrance of the canyon was a stone gate piled up with gravel, the stone gate looked precarious and about to collapse after weathering, on the giant pedestal, there were two beans vaguely carved, the thick and short diameter of the beans appeared to be vibrant, each bean had only one pod, and there were only two huge beans in the full pod.

Li Hao slowly walked to the pedestal of the stone gate, and carefully observed, the entire gate was made of blue-gray granite, which was thousands of years old from the degree of weathering. If you look carefully above the gate, you can also see two flying phoenixes engraved, both of which are the characteristics of flying birds in the Han Dynasty, but the pattern behind the tail of the two flying phoenixes has attracted Li Hao's attention.

Meng Fan saw Li Hao staring at the strings of dots behind the flying phoenix's tail, and he also looked at it himself and said, "It should be modified, right?" Could it have any other meaning? ”

Luo Daxi looked at the side and said, "What's strange about this, the two birds then laid a lot of eggs, and they couldn't finish eating and eating, what's so strange?" ”

Li Hao was in no mood to pay attention to this brainless guy, so Xiao Xian on the side spoke: "This is not an egg, but a sentence." ”

Well, what does it mean, everyone turned their heads to look at Xiao Xian, could it be that there is an ancient text on it? In everyone's amazed eyes, Xiao Xian continued: "If you are not mistaken, these irregular dots are Morse codes, which should mean 'source of life'. ”

When Xiao Xian translated it to everyone, everyone present except Li Hao, even Xiao Xian herself didn't believe it at all. This stone gate and the carving on it are at least thousands of years old, and the Morse code is less than two hundred years old, how can it appear on the stone gate.

Xiao Xian's words aroused Li Hao's interest, when he heard that these dots were Morse code, a bright light flashed in his heart, if this is Morse code, then the dragon pattern on the copper box that his father handed over to him, isn't there also a lot of strange dots on it? If Guiguzi was really a soldier in the Republic of China, as a soldier, he should know the Morse code, and Xiaoxian only knew it because she had been in the army for a long time, then all this would be confirmed.

"Alright, whatever he is, let's move on, everyone get ready." Meng Fan came to the place of nightmare again, time had made him no longer afraid, only thirsty for the unknown.

Just as everyone was preparing their weapons and going inside, the little wolf refused to take any further steps into the door, sniffed inside the door, showed a look of fear on his face, lowered his head and whined. I have never seen the little wolf behave like this, Li Hao knows that it is the things inside that scare it, animals are very sensitive to the natural environment, and can perceive dangers that humans can't feel, it seems that there are really unknown creatures in it that Meng Fan said.

Li Hao took out a large portable battery searchlight from his backpack, this searchlight is Apollo from Europe, although the battery is small, the spotlight effect is very powerful, the fully concentrated light can shine several kilometers away, open Apollo in the fog and shine into the canyon, the light is like a long pillar through the fog, looking along the light, there is still nothing, but the canyon inside is getting wider and wider. Under the illumination of the light, although the eyes could not see anything unusual, everyone heard a rustling sound, and as the light shook, the sound also came one after another, like a group of people walking gently on the dead leaves.

"Daiki, try a few shots inside." Li Hao said.

"Okay, look at me." Luo Daxi picked up the assault rifle and shot it a few times inside, but he didn't hear a howl, he heard the sound of bullets hitting the rocks, and as a few shots were over, the rustling sound inside also stopped and became extremely quiet.

"Brother Meng, what did you see last time? How deep to go into? Did an accident happen? Li Hao is also a little uncertain in the face of unknown situations.

"We went in early that morning, it was also a foggy day, and after entering, my companions screamed and disappeared, and I ran out without seeing anything."

"The fog seems to have cleared." Professor Wang reminded everyone.

As soon as Professor Wang reminded him, he found that the entrance that he couldn't see clearly just now had become clear, and everyone was looking carefully at the canyon, and it turned out to be another world. It was overgrown with vegetation and tall trees, but unlike the outside of the canyon, all the plants were yellow, without greenery, but they did not look like they had withered, but were yellow in their own right.

"yes, that's weird, it comes and goes as fast as it comes." Luo Daxi said.

"It's a low place, and the sun doesn't shine in until noon, so the fog will dissipate more slowly, but the sun will disappear as soon as it shines at noon." Professor Wang seemed to answer Luo Daxi's question, and he was also explaining to everyone.

"The ghosts will disappear in the sun, too! Little wolf, go, can't go back. Li Hao patted the little wolf's head with his hand to give it an encouragement.

The group mustered up the courage to step into the stone gate, and stood inside the stone gate to stop, everyone was nervous, waiting for something strange to happen.

Everyone stopped for about a minute, and after seeing that there was nothing, Luo Daxi shouted happily: "Haha, as soon as Luo Ye arrives, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods will get out of the way." ”

Seeing that there were no accidents, everyone's nervous mood relaxed a little, maybe too nervous, Professor Wang became interested in these yellow vegetation at this time, although he is an expert in biology, but also has a certain amount of research on animals and plants.

"Yellow leaf disease?" Professor Wang was a little surprised when he saw the scene in front of him, and naturally thought that the plant was sick.

"No, Professor Wang don't touch it!" Li Hao had already noticed the special features of these things, and wanted to stop Professor Wang, who was about to touch the bushes, but it was too late, and Professor Wang reached out and broke a branch down.

"Oh, Xiao Li, it's okay, I'll just take a look. Hey, strange, what's this above? Professor Wang held the broken branch and saw that the branch did not break away as he imagined, but a layer of yellow and yellow things stuck to it.

Professor Wang waved the branch in his hand strangely, trying to shake things off, but he never thought that at the moment when he shook it, something the size of a basketball fell from the tree, it should not have fallen, but slid down like a downhill, Professor Wang, who was concentrating on fiddling with the branches, did not find anything on his head, and when he saw that the strange basketball was about to fall overhead, a crisp gunshot came, and as soon as the gun rang out, the basketball above his head splashed like a jam bottle that had been exploded, and the thick yellow-green slime stained Professor Wang's body.

It turned out that at this critical moment, Meng Fan, who had not relaxed his vigilance, knocked on the Bayi bar in his hand, and the 7.62 mm bullet directly exploded the opponent.

"What's that?" The frightened Professor Wang sat down on the ground, wiped a handful of the smelly juice from his body with his hand, and hurriedly walked over to drag Professor Wang back away from the tree.

"It's a spider." Li Hao saw the falling basketball clearly at that moment.

"Look at this branch." Li Hao picked up the branch from Professor Wang's hand, peeled off a layer of fine gauze covering the branches and leaves, and said, "This is spider silk, covering the entire grass and trees in front of us." ”

The branches that peeled off the spider silk revealed tender yellow-green branches and leaves, and Li Hao showed him to everyone.

"And such a large piece, there should be more than this one, right?" Li Hao said as he looked around vigilantly.

The little wolf suddenly became restless at this moment, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, barking at the bushes not far away, not only the little wolf heard it, but Li Hao's ** hearing also heard the sound, the rustling sound came from far and near, and then, two appeared, four, eight around them, more and more spiders came around, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least more than twenty, each of which was the size of a basketball.

"This is a bird-catching spider, which is generally the size of a palm, and many countries in South America and Southeast Asia use it to make food, and the toxicity is very low." Professor Wang looked at the spiders besieging the city in front of him, and was still doing popular science for everyone.

"I said, Professor Wang, these spiders are obviously not ordinary, they are bigger than basketballs, and they don't seem to be friendly, do you want to avenge their brothers, and plan to make us food today?" Luo Daxi said.

"Theoretically, they don't cause harm to humans, and many places keep them as pets." Professor Wang said.

"Theoretically, this won't work, Brother Meng, Daxi, Xiaoxian, I'll leave it to you, I don't want to cover the spider silk quilt." Li Hao said calmly.

As soon as the words fell, Luo Daxi shot on his side, to say that Daxi was so close to such a big target really showed marksmanship, this guy calmly shot one shot at a time. Even more fierce are Meng Fan and Xiaoxian, their combo speed is very fast, one target did not wait for the bullet to reach the target after pulling the trigger, the next spider had already aimed again.

After a burst of gunshots like fried beans, the spiders were no longer visible, and a circle of sticky and fishy juice surrounded them, surrounding several people in the middle.
