Section 296 Exploring 'Karnrique'
After listening, the scalps of Li Wanhao and the other four people next to him exploded, their cold hairs were firm, and their backs were a little cold.
Even if you are well-informed, you have personally experienced all kinds of strange, disgusting, and terrifying creatures in the process of adventure and treasure hunting, and even seen more than 30 super snakes in the depths of the Amazon jungle, attacked by Atlantic sea monsters in the Atlantic Ocean, and experienced invisible cursed killers and deadly fungal spores in the tombs of Stonehenge, at this time, when you hear the death worm from Kalam's mouth, you also feel some chills in your heart.
You know, many people have some chicken bumps about things like wriggling bugs, which is called bug phobia, and wriggling bugs give people a stronger fear than other creatures.
Especially the relatively large bugs.
What's more, the worm of death in Kalam's mouth, huge, like a bloody intestine, wriggling, sucker-like mouth, not to mention touching it in the desert, makes people have goosebumps and a numb scalp when they hear it.
Is there such a thing as a Death Bug, 'Karnrick', the legendary? Li Wanhao asked Kalam. Yes! Hearing this, Kalam said with great certainty, "'Kaenrik' lives under the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert, and often attacks camel caravans passing by it. At this point, Kalam paused, took a sip of the camel's milk handed by the hostess, dipped it in the camel's milk with a pancake, and continued, "The hottest months of the year are around April to July, when the 'Kaenrik' is usually seen the most. Furthermore. In the Gobi Desert, when it rains. 'Kaenrik' will also drill out of the sand dunes to bathe in the rare fresh rain of the Gobi. The rest of the time it burrows into the sand dunes and lives like a hibernation. ”
"Can you describe how big 'Kahnrik' is? Has anyone in the village witnessed it? Chen Rui asked.
"Kaenrik is probably more than 20 metres long and 70 to 80 centimetres thick, and it walks on the sand in a peculiar way, either rolling forward or wriggling to one side." Karam said, and after speaking, he gestured to Chen Rui. Afterward, he continued, "The macain in our village had witnessed 'Kahnrik' when he was young. Kaenrik attacked his camel caravan and was lucky enough to escape, but he also lost a hand, and the venom sprayed by Kaenrik splashed on his left arm, corroding the skin and spreading the venom on his arm, and he cut off his own arm with a scimitar in order to save his life. ”
"Can you visit him?" Chen Rui took a great interest in 'Karnrijk'. Said to Kalam.
"Absolutely, more than a decade ago. There was an American expedition that came here and also looked for Maca for 'Carenrique'. Kalam said.
Under the leadership of Kalam, Chen Rui and his party found Maca.
Maca was a gray-haired, dark-skinned, withered old man who wore a white robe and a white turban, and was very energetic.
I would like to welcome the arrival of Chen Rui and his entourage.
"Maca has three wives, seven sons, and four daughters." Kalam introduced Chen Rui.
Chen Rui nodded.
The Bedouins believe in Islam, belong to the Sunni sect, practice polygamy, and can marry up to 27 wives, of course, the premise is that they must have enough financial means to support 27 wives, so there are only a few people who can really marry more than one wife.
With Kalam on the side, Chen Rui began to talk to Maca.
Hearing the sight of Chen Rui and his party, Maca said with a smile, "I've seen 'Kaenrik' for more than 60 years. ”
Recalling the unbearable and sad past, Maca still maintains a positive and optimistic attitude.
"More than 60 years ago, unlike now, there was a road that went around the whole of Egypt and crossed the endless desert, and the transportation was very backward, and many times, the circulation of goods, exchanges, and commerce relied on the traditional way, through the guò camel, and I followed a caravan of camels with a shipment of goods from Siwa to Alexandria, a city on the Mediterranean coast.
The camel caravan left Siwa and traveled in the desert for 14 sunrises and sunsets, and came across 'Kaenrik', 'Kaenrik' came out of the sand dunes less than 3 or 4 meters away from us and attacked us, 'Kaenrik' swallowed Murak and Sailer directly with a mouth like a sucker, it was so terrifying, this scene made me unforgettable for the rest of my life, I still remember it vividly, I can even see the vibration of Mourak and Sayl's belly caused by the struggle in the stomach of 'Karenrik'. I was also splashed on my left hand by the venom from Kaenrik', and I cut off my hand with my scimitar, saving my life, and since then, I have lost a hand. ”
"Maka, do you know where 'Karnrik' attacked you?"
"I don't know, in fact, I'd love to forget about this place, to lose two of my friends, to lose one of my hands, but, indeed, I don't know where 'Kaenrik' attacked us, and at that time, we were walking in the desert, the desert was vast, there were no landmarks, only camels, the direction of the sun and the guidance of everyone's experience in the desert, to the seashore, and then along the seashore to our destination." ”
Next, Chen Rui and the other five talked a lot with Maca, about 'Kahnrik'.
Finally, Chen Rui suddenly asked, "Maka, do you believe in Islam?" ”
"I believe that our whole village believes in Islam." Maca said.
"Excuse me." Chen Rui said.
After that, everyone said goodbye to Maca.
Chen Rui believed that Karam and that Maca had not lied about the 'Karenrik' matter.
You know, both Kalam and Makha are Muslims, and in Islamic teachings, it is strictly forbidden to lie.
Moreover, the wood carving is carved with a strange worm, which cannot be made out of nothing.
Before the preaching of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the Bedouins lived a nomadic life and had no faith or totem worship.
Islam is not like other religions, they never worship anything in this world, they worship only the Lord who created this world, the real Creator!
Therefore, it is likely that the strangely shaped worm of this wood carving has been preserved in the desert, or something that someone has seen.
Therefore, Chen Rui believes that 'Kahnrik' is not fabricated, and has been stored in the desert. (To be continued......)
