Ye Liqi nodded, and asked again, "When did you notice that the ground was sinking?" ”

"It's been about seven or eight days, it seems that around the time of the Chinese New Year, the old Zhang's field suddenly fell, and we all went to see it at that time, such a big hole, but it's amazing."

Wang Dashan snorted, and continued: "But none of us care, these things often happen in these years, plus the snow is flying outside in winter, and no one farms, so they all want to wait until after the beginning of spring, but within a few days, a few more fields have sunken." ”

"We also looked for someone to see, said that there is a hole under it, but I don't know what the hole is, everyone is afraid, so I guessed that it may be those strange beasts to make it, or want to push it again, but then the whole village has a power outage, and then the electrician came to see that it was the wire that was laid underneath, we all suspected that it might be that the thing bit the wire, and then maybe it was the electricity to know that I was afraid, since then, our village began to lose cats and dogs, even ducks and geese began to lose, we are afraid, I just wanted to find someone to figure it out. Wang Dashan sighed.

Ye Lingqi pondered for a moment and asked, "When did you see the pangolin, and do you remember where it disappeared?" ”

Wang Dashan nodded: "Remember, just the day before yesterday, I can lead you to the mountainside." ”

Ye Liqi nodded slightly, and then looked at Luoka.

Loka had already found information on pangolins on tablets, "The pangolin is long and narrow, covered with scales, short and thick limbs, a slightly raised back, and a flat, long tail. Good at burrowing, vision is basically degraded, but the sense of smell is sensitive, the main food is termites, and also eats the larvae of other insects such as bee Hu Feng. ”

Looking up at Ye Lingqi, Luo Ka said: "Pangolins don't eat large meat foods like livestock. ”

Ye Liqi took the tablet and handed the pangolin on the picture to Wang Dashan: "You confirm it." Is it a pangolin? ”

Wang Dashan took the tablet. glanced at it and immediately slapped his thigh: "Yes, this is the thing." I remember it clearly, and there can be no mistake. ”

Ye Liqi nodded and said, "That's right, it should be a mutant pangolin." The people from the Anomalies have already come to measure it, right? ”

Wang Dashan nodded: "Here, I said that it was a fifth-level mutant beast." ”

Ye Liqi nodded. After looking at the sky outside, it was still early, so he said, "Okay, then you can go with us now." Point us out where the pangolins disappeared, and then you can go home and wait for news. ”

Wang Dashan let out a "hey" and immediately went to put on thick clothes.

"I think pangolins are mutated. It's impossible to change the recipe suddenly, there must be some reason for the pangolin to change suddenly. Yue Chengxuan said suddenly.

Di Yang posted a description of pangolins on the tablet. "That's right, pangolins generally live deep in the mountains, and we rarely see these things on the side of the mountains or in places where people live, maybe we should guess why this pangolin has become so strange, not only the recipe has changed, but also the habits have changed." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Liqi suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, but he couldn't catch it anymore.

Wang Dashan got dressed and led everyone to the mountain, looking around as he walked, as if he was afraid that the pangolin would suddenly come out.

Loka put the flat plate into the mezzanine inside her clothes, and followed behind everyone in her thick ski suit.

After walking for a short distance, Wang Dashan stopped, looked around, and said, "It's almost around here, I remember it's here." ”

Ye Liqi turned his head to look at the vast snow around him, the snow outside has not stopped in the past few days, and the wind is constantly blowing, so even if the pangolin left any traces at that time, it has long disappeared under the cover of the heavy snow.

After thinking about it, Ye Liqi said to Yue Chengxuan: "You send Brother Wang down the mountain, we are waiting for you here, be careful." ”

Yue Chengxuan nodded, and went down the mountain with Wang Dashan, who was obviously a little apprehensive.

Standing on the snow, Ye Lingqi tentatively stepped forward, and even the rainy and snowy sky not only made some clues disappear invisible, but also turned the soft snow into thin ice, even if you step on it, you don't know if there is a hole under it.

Frowning, Ye Liqi turned to look in the direction he came, the small village of Baoshan Township is at the bottom of the mountain, and the leaves on the mountain have long fallen in winter, so it is obvious that you can see the rows of houses, and on some houses, puffs of white smoke come out of the chimney.

It is said to be a mountainside, but this mountain is not high, and the mountainside is like a mountainside, and with the habit of pangolins, it will not play a winter cave here.

After a while, Yue Chengxuan ran back, Ye Lixuan nodded, and said something to Di Yang, Di Yang responded, and then took a few steps forward gently, and his right hand slowly pressed on the white snow, only to see the dots of green poking out from Di Yang's palm, and the vines were intertwined and overlapped with each other, like spider webs, slowly spreading around, but in a blink of an eye, the surrounding six or seven meters of snow was completely covered.

Yue Chengxuan looked at Di Yang's serious appearance, his heart moved slightly, and the contempt for Di Yang at the beginning gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of admiration, although only a little.

Just changed a few places in succession, and when Di Yang made his move again, and the vine drilled into the palm of his hand to investigate the surroundings, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

Immediately raised his head, Di Yang said happily: "I found it, and sure enough, there is a hole." ”

Ye Liqi smiled slightly, nodded at Di Yang, and said, "Not bad." ”

Di Yang retracted the vines, scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly, but remembered the tragic situation when he was powerless at the beginning.

Removing the sapper shovel from the backpack and opening the folding handle, several people began to carefully dig the proven hole.

If you want to say that this is in the snowy mountain, a few people don't dare to dig a pit and explore the cave like this, a careless will cause an avalanche, but like this kind of mountain with a forest, a thick layer of snow is actually mud, if it is said that a mudslide is possible, an avalanche is absolutely not.

Soon, several people dug the hole that Di Yang had discovered before, the hole was slanted downward, so the snow on it did not go down much, looking at the swarthy hole, Ye Liqi glanced at a few people: "Two ways, one is to go down and see what is going on, but the space inside may be narrow, and it is inconvenient for us to fight, and the winter cave of the pangolin is more complex than the summer hole, not to mention, the tunnel is curved and twisted, shaped like a gourd, and there is an earthen wall piled up with soil at intervals, with a length of more than ten meters, also passed by the nest of two or three termites......" Speaking of this, Ye Lingqi suddenly paused.

"How?" Loka asked.

Ye Lingqi squinted his eyes and took a second look at the big black hole: "The vertical distance between the pangolin winter cave and the ground should be four meters, so the final cave building site should be the top of the mountain." ”

"That day, Wang Dashan saw a black ball suddenly appear on the top of the mountain and roll down, and then stopped here, which may be the reason why the pangolin's temperament suddenly changed drastically." Ye Liqi said slowly.

"What will make the pangolins give up their previous winter holes, run to the bottom of the mountainside, and even stop eating some larvae, and steal the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs of the people's houses with the food they have stored for the winter?" Ye Liqi asked softly.

"You mean, termites?" Yue Chengxuan was the first to react.

Ye Liqi nodded and said, "It should be like this, but the termite matter will be talked about later, and now we still have those two choices, first, enter the hole, and second, wait for the pangolin to come out." ”

Di Yang thought about it for a while and said: "I think I choose the first one, pangolins are good at making holes, and they generally rarely come out in winter, unless they are very hungry, but we can't guard here 24 hours a day, and we may not be able to keep it, so I think we should go into the hole." ”

Yue Chengxuan also nodded and said: "I think so too, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger." ”

Luo Ka also agreed with the two of them, and Ye Liqi said: "Okay, then let's go down now, I'll take the lead, Yue Chengxuan is behind me, and then Luo Ka, Di Yang." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ye Liqi looked at the cave that was large enough to have the moon gate, and simply jumped down.

The whole cave is not vertically downward, but gradually deepens in the form of a gentle slope, and Ye Lingqi doesn't know if the nests of other pangolins are also like this, but the current terrain is convenient for them to walk.

Fortunately, the pangolin's cave is very large, it itself is the size of a calf, and the cave will be deliberately dug wider to facilitate daily activities, so the two people walking side by side in the cave are slightly loose, and the top is to adapt to the bulge of the back of the pangolin, and it is also extra high, and several people walking in the cave will not say that they have to bow their heads and bend over.

The inside of the cave was very dark, but the pangolin would be frightened when stimulated by strong light, so Ye Lingqi took out a cold light stick from his bag, and he could vaguely see the road ahead.

Of course, if the most troublesome thing is the complex structure in this cave, perhaps for the reason of wind and coolness, there are many forks in the cave, and several people will hesitate at first, and then simply turn right, anyway, the pangolin's cave, these tunnels are interconnected, and how can you find the pangolin's nest in the end.

Walking all the way, about half an hour of effort, Ye Liqi suddenly stopped, and there was a very subtle feeling in front of her, which made her intuitively think that this was the old nest of the pangolin.

After thinking about it, Ye Liqi raised his hand to signal everyone to pause, and then pointed to himself, signaling himself to explore, a few people nodded, according to the task description given by the ability, this pangolin should be a fifth-level mutant beast, and among the four people, Ye Liqi has the highest ability level, if there are a few of them, it is easy to disturb the pangolin.
