Chapter 184: A Coincidental Encounter with the Expert Group

In the Nanling Primeval Forest, Li Mang is like a nimble elf, jumping and jumping, flexible and free, and carrying a shotgun in his hand.

But at this time, Li Mang was absent-minded, his mind was full of thoughts about this dry weather and the mysterious death of animals, and he was wondering if there was a connection between these two things.

"Huh? Animal carcasses. Li Mang inadvertently glanced at it, but saw a hairy animal lying motionless in the bushes in front of him, and flew over with a toe on his toes.

It was a leopard, no longer breathing, so quietly trapped in the bushes, there were obvious messy marks nearby, which showed that it had struggled before dying. But what really made Li Mang's eyes shrink was that the leopard's face and mouth were all black, and the skin on the hairless part of the body was the same, which was simply terrifyingly black.

Li Mang groaned for a moment, and found a wooden stick from the side to warp it out of the bushes. The reason why he didn't do it was not because he was afraid of getting dirty, but because he was worried about being poisonous.

"The neck has been bitten, and most of the blood has been sucked up!" Li Mang's face became more and more heavy, this was obviously not an ordinary poison, and the toxicity was simply terrifying.

This is only a few kilometers away from Tuling Village, and such a close range makes Li Mang feel uneasy, at present, this poison is only aimed at the animals in the forest, but what about the future? Will you leave the forest and go out to the outside world? This is what Li Mang is worried about, and it must not be allowed to happen.

"You have to find out the specific cause, otherwise you won't be able to sleep!" Li Mang muttered to himself, and then jumped halfway up the tree, using his extraordinary light skills to continue to go deeper. Stand tall and see far away, and the line of sight that walks below is always limited, and if you don't do it well, you will miss something.

……

"This is already the tenth animal carcass we have seen, with the same cause of death, poisoning and death after being bitten by a mysterious animal. Along with the blood, it was sucked away. An old man squatted on the ground and looked at the antelope carcass, his face heavy.

A young man next to him who was taking pictures with a camera took pictures of the antelope's carcass and said: "I think it's strange that there are no traces of any other animal activities in the vicinity except for the traces of the antelope's own struggle. ”

"It's definitely not a vampire bat, the wound is deep and small, and you can tell that the poison's teeth are sharp and slender. It should be a snake. Opposite, a middle-aged man in a suit refuted the young man's hair.

"The wound is so big, if it is a snake, this snake is probably not small, why did it leave no trace?" The young man on camera questioned at the moment.

“…… The weather is dry and there are a lot of fallen leaves on the ground. It's no surprise that no trace was left. "Middle-aged defense.

"That's it, there is no trace left near the ten corpses. It doesn't make sense. "Young people still hold on to their judgments.

"This ......" the middle-aged man was speechless.

"Don't fight. This thing is very evil, and according to the current situation, it is impossible to tell which animal did it. The old man waved his hand to interrupt their argument, but then he added, "However, judging from the distribution of these ten animal corpses, this poison should be a frequent presence ahead, so you should be more vigilant." ”

"Yes!" The five SWAT officers around responded coldly. With a submachine gun in his hand, this is a wild primeval forest, and there may be danger at any time, and the identity of this old man is not simple. So the level of defense is very high.

"Who!" But just as they were about to set off to go deeper, a SWAT soldier suddenly pointed his gun at the back, and the atmosphere of the scene froze.

"Don't get excited, I'm from the outside village." Li Mang pointed the shotgun into the sky and did not step forward recklessly, although he was not afraid of this slight charge, but once the gunfire rang out, his reaction would probably be a little shocking. Besides, he's here to seek cooperation.

Seeing that it was a young man with a shotgun, everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and the SWAT soldier also moved the muzzle of the gun to the ground, but he was still vigilant, and asked in a rough voice: "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Recently, poisonous substances have been infested in the forest, and we are also worried that it will affect the villages not far outside, so we specially came in to investigate, but we didn't expect to meet your expert group, and we hope to be able to go along." Li Mang explained that the Nanling Forest was so big, it was not easy for him to find it by himself, and listening to their communication, it seemed that he had found some clues.

In addition, this poison may not be as simple as they think, and it is also appropriate to draw a knife to help when Lu sees injustice, Li Mang doesn't want to see them die in vain. Li Mang is not a living Lei Feng, but this is just a gesture, and anyone with justice in his heart will choose this way.

"Young man, I'm glad you have this heart, but it's too dangerous in the forest, so you better go back!" The old man persuaded softly, and his attitude was very kind.

"This old man, please rest assured, I grew up in Nanling, I am familiar with the flora and fauna here, I know how to save myself, and I may be able to help!" Li Mang said with a smile.

"Since this young man has said so, Professor Qin might as well agree, we really need someone who is familiar with this forest." A middle-aged man wearing a forest public security uniform next to him persuaded the old man, judging from the uniform, it should be from the Nanling Primitive Forest Administration.

"You are the forest police officer of Nanling, don't you know the situation in Nanling?" The young photographer asked teasingly.

“…… Expert Zhang, it's true that I am a public security officer in Nanling Forest, but I have only been in office for a few years, how can I compare with the nearby hunter villagers. "The forest police are depressed, but they are honest and honest.

"Very well, young man, welcome to our team." The old man known as Professor Qin no longer insisted, and agreed with a smile to Li Mang's joining.

"Thank you." Li Mang walked over happily, and the team of ten people continued to set off deep into the forest. It's just that the five SWAT fighters are still vigilant against him, without him, when they pointed at him with a submachine gun just now, Li Mang was too calm, which is not normal.

However, thinking that Li Mang had no reason to hurt Professor Qin and them, the five SWAT soldiers didn't say anything other than being on guard.

After some exchanges, Li Mang probably got to know the members of this expert group, five special police officers from the city bureau; A captain of the Nanling Natural Forest Public Security, surnamed Deng;

The photographer's young surname is Zhang, but he is an expert in the study of poisonous insects; The middle-aged man in the suit is a university teacher who studies animals, surnamed Chen;

The old man's surname is Qin, he is a professor of Jinghua University, and he has a great reputation in the industry.

"To be sure, this is a beast that has never been recorded before, a completely new and terrifying poisonous animal to be exact." Expert Zhang, who was holding a video camera, was full of excitement, which was indeed an exciting discovery for him who was dedicated to studying poisonous insects.

"It's too early to draw conclusions, the toxicity hasn't been analyzed yet, maybe it's just some rare venomous snakes." Teacher Chen, who was wearing a suit, insisted that it was a poisonous snake.

"Then you'll see." Expert Zhang raised the camera in his hand, looking provocative, this is already an academic debate of knowledge and cognition, how can he show weakness.

"Is it useful for you to argue about this now? The most important thing is to find the goal first! Professor Qin's unpleasant criticism, the two of them heard that they were only willing to make promises, and they didn't dare to fight anymore.

At this time, Li Mang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and issued a warning with a serious face: "Wait, there seems to be movement ahead." ”
