"The captain is right! These giant snakes and monitor lizards actually come from the 'Yama Pit'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThese giant snakes, monitor lizards, so to speak, were driven out. Have you noticed? These giant snakes and monitor lizards we see are either wounded, disabled, or old and frail, because these animals have a very strong sense of territory, those who were injured and disabled in the process of internal struggle in the 'Yama pit', or those who were defeated and fled, these giant snakes and monitor lizards are in the 'Yama Pit' Yama pit can't stay any longer, so they run to the top, although the upper layer is not as good as the living environment in the pit, but they can still barely survive, to this layer, they begin to form a new competitive environment, however, to this layer, is their last habitat, the loser waiting for their fate can only be death, to be eaten by their companions. ā€

"Can't they survive up there or beyond?"

"Because of the climate and the environment in which they live, they can't stay in other places or can't stay for too long."

"Why is this happening?"

"These animals, due to their large size, have high requirements for food and humidity and temperature of the environment, and the huge spherical ant nest is their territory, and if they leave their living environment, they will be eaten by other natural enemies or die of illness. In the same way, the giant ants on the upper layer, although they are very powerful, they cannot go down to damp places, which is why those giant ants do not dare to go further after they go down to the territory of giant snakes and monitor lizards, and return quickly. ā€

"Ahh I see! It's no wonder that those big ants didn't dare to take a step further after gaining power. Xue Qiang said with emotion.

In this way, it is easy to understand. Have any of you ever seen the sea? Li Ling's eyes looked at this, and then at that.

"Squad leader, it's a vain question for you to ask us, it seems that none of us are from the coastal area, but there are Fujian and Guangdong among the soldiers."

"Although we have never seen the sea, our hometown is from Fujian."

"Isn't Captain Wang from the north?" Chen Lanwei was puzzled, "Listening to the accents of the two of you, you are from the north, the same as our hometown, and I always thought that you two were our fellow countrymen." ā€

"Comrade Wang Shusheng's hometown is from Fujian, and Li Ling's hometown is from Shanxi, who told them that they are from the north?" Bai Jiansheng said with a smile.

"Listen to that accent, pure Northeast accent, do you still need us to ask?" Chen Lanwei said unconvinced.

"Although we are not from the north, but the accent is like that of the north, this situation is very common in the army, we and Lao Wang have been in Harbin for a long time, unlike the northerners." The topic was diverted by Chen Lanwei, and Li Ling picked it up, "I heard Lao Wang say that fish in the deep sea rarely come to the shallow sea, and they don't stay long if they come occasionally. This is related to the pressure and temperature of the water, and no one can live without a specific living environment. The reason is the same, these giant snakes and monitor lizards, without the environment they live in, they will naturally not be able to live. ā€

After listening to Li Ling's words, everyone felt that what they said was reasonable.

"However, I still can't figure out a question, these giant snakes and monitor lizards are so big, what do they usually eat? We've all seen it, down there, except for three pools, which are strange rocks, there's nothing to eat? ā€

"Yes! How can this be explained? ā€

Comrades, you said a word, I said a word, and all kinds of questions were raised, but Li Bo only laughed and did not answer.

Su Cheng looked at Li Bo's expression, seemed to understand something, and said, "I said you guys are stupid!" I don't understand this! What to eat? Didn't Lieber tell you just now? Still ask? What do these giant snakes and monitor lizards eat? Isn't it just eating themselves? ā€

"What? Eat yourself? Then you eat and see for yourself, how to eat? Lin Yi said sarcastically, he felt that Su Cheng was pretending to understand.

"I didn't mean that, I meant it...... Alas! Let's put it this way, what did we see at the time? Do you only see these giant snakes and monitor lizards constantly biting each other? Everyone nodded, "Those who were bitten to death, or were injured to death, weren't they eaten by other snakes and lizards?" They keep fighting, and they keep eating. ā€

"That's right, but, according to you, the snakes and lizards were quickly eaten." Qin Yongsheng said.

"Didn't Lieber already say it? In the 'Yama Pit', snakes and lizards are constantly climbing up and participating in the bite, so naturally there is an endless amount of deliciousness, Li Bo! Are you right when you say Xiao Su? Li Bo nodded and said, "The little ghost is right! That's what it means! ā€

"Oh my God! It's horrible! In this way, there are a lot of snakes and lizards in this 'Yama pit'! "Everyone understands what's going on, you look at me, I look at you, I can't believe it, there are enough giant snakes and monitor lizards on it, it's terrifying enough, and there are even more in the pit, how can you deal with it?

"Li Bo, is this basically the information we have learned from this expedition?" Bai Jiansheng asked.

Li Bo nodded and replied, "Snakes, lizards, rats, ants, and poisonous insects are roughly these, and we also see miasma and poisonous water. ā€

"Miasma? Poisoned water? No wow? I didn't see it, did you? Xiao Wu asked the others, and the other few people who had explored the danger all shook their heads, turned their puzzled eyes to Li Bo, and waited for him to continue.

Li Bo continued: "I wonder if you have noticed that there are three pools of water in the snake pit? One is clear, the other is turbid, and the other is dark and green. The first waterhole is close to the center of the pit, there are water outlets and water outlets up and down, the water color is clear, it is living water, the water is clear and non-toxic, especially after the flash flood, these waters have basically been changed once. The second pool water is stagnant water, but the location is not far from the first pool water, the terrain is higher, the water quality is turbid, because snakes, lizards take this place as a place to drink water and have fun, the water here is dirty, bacteria multiply, naturally it is poisonous water, it is better than often affected by rain, and the toxicity is not so great. The most terrifying thing is the third pool of water near the mountain rock. The water in this pool is dark green in color, indicating that it is a dead pool, although it is a dead pool, but the water still has a source, otherwise it would have dried up, but the water inflow is very small, and it is completely maintained by the very little water seeping out of the mountain wall. Because it has been in a static state for many years, the rotten trees, leaves and other plants on the mountain fall into it, and it is located in the depression of the mountain cliff, it is extremely not ventilated, and a large amount of miasma has been silted, this pool of water is really called the poisonous pool, no matter what animal, close to it will undoubtedly die, which is the reason why there are many animal bones in and around the pool. As for other dangers, it's hard to say if you haven't encountered them, such as other poisonous creatures and plants, but I think we've basically seen these things in Yama Valley. ā€
