Chapter 198: Environmental factors always allow organisms to evolve

"Tick." The sound of water falling to the ground echoed clearly in the space where you couldn't see your fingers. Although it is the underground of the desert, there is no feeling of stuffiness in it, and the air is unexpectedly humid, and you can even feel a thin layer of water condensed on the walls on both sides of the narrow passageway. The only thing that is uncomfortable is the strange smell that still carries in the air.

After the stone door was opened, what was thought to be a huge space was actually just a hall of entrance halls, because of the light, there were no details to be seen, but there was only one way. Behind the foyer is a long, narrow hallway that leads deeper. Anchen's position at this time, that is, in this aisle, the aisle is surprisingly long, and there is no light, perhaps because of the humidity in the air, even the torches can't be lit.

It's strange that this is an underground space that has been sealed for a long time, even if it has been opened by the three of Anchen, it will take a certain amount of time for the air to fully circulate. But not only can I breathe smoothly, but I can also feel a cool breeze blowing in my face. This clearly indicates that there must have been several vents in this tomb to maintain the current environment of the tomb.

This is impossible, Cassiopeia frowned, the Shurima people have a high respect for the dead, and they firmly believe that people will go to another world after death, so their bodies must be kept intact.

In particular, the environment in which the corpses are stored must be closed and impossible to ventilate, because the aerobic environment is more likely to allow the corpses to decay. What's more, the environment is humid, which is likely to attract snakes or crypt creatures to burrow here. Disturbing the rest of the deceased is an unforgivable sin in the time of Shurima.

"Smack." Cassiopeia stepped on a puddle of stagnant water on the ground, and another drop of water fell from above, brushing her cheek: "Sivir Anchen, be careful, there is a problem here." ”

Walking in the middle of the group, Sivir put his hand on the stone wall to the side and tapped it, her years of experience in the underground ruins had allowed her to discover the difference in this space before Cassiopeia. Fingers tapped on the wall, and a slight echo could be heard.

Echo? Sivir looked at the wall of the aisle suspiciously, hollow?

Anchen still walked at the end of the line, silently following the two people in front of her, it was not that she was lazy, after all, exploration and research were indeed not her profession, and it was useless for her to walk in front.

"Zizizi." In the corner, a creeping sound was barely audible, as if something was passing there.

"Huh?" Anchen turned his head to look, and there seemed to be a small mound in the corner of the wall. Don't ask her why she can see it so dark, because of "work", she travels at night all year round, so her eyes have already adapted to the dark environment and has a certain night vision. Although it is better than the average person, it is enough for her to barely see the surrounding environment.

"Zizizi." The sound of crawling continued, as if something was being dragged.

What the hell, can there be anything alive in this kind of hellish place?

"Step, step." Standing next to the mound, Anchen looked down at the place where the sound came from.

A small black bug crawled there slowly, moving slowly through the soft, damp earth. This bug is a bit like an earth beetle, but its body is a little wider and flatter, and it has eight legs.

Although the environment in this place is relatively harsh, there is nothing to say about the appearance of a bug in the crypt. Thinking about it, Anchen stretched out his hand and grabbed the slow-moving "beetle" in his hand.

"Click, click." The insect fluttered a few times in An Chen's hand, making a strange sound.

Sivir's hand gathered a soft runic light that illuminated the walls. Seeing the appearance on the wall clearly, Sivir's expression was a little serious: "Opea." ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing Sivir's voice, Cassiopeia walked over.

"Look here." Sivir's hand touched the wall, which should have been smooth and unmarked, but it was full of dense small holes: "Behind the wall is hollow, and these openings, there must be something laid out here itself, most likely a trap." Of course, it is also possible that it is the reason for the ventilation and humidity that is kept here. ”

"At least so far there is no danger, go ahead and go inside." It is normal for there to be traps in the mausoleum, after all, no one wants their bones to be at peace after their death. But if he hadn't continued just because of some traps, Cassiopeia wouldn't have come here. What's more, the real threat in this tomb is the two people whose fate is unknown here.

An Chen looked at the insect in her hand, and she felt that this insect was not normal for no reason.

"Anchen, what are you doing there?" Cassiopeia's voice came from afar: "Keep up." ”

"Wait a minute." An Chen answered, and was about to let go of the insect in his hand.

Who knew that Anchen was just about to let go, but the insect stopped struggling, its tentacles stiffened, and then there was a soft sound, and the wide flat body cracked.

The light green juice splashed on Anchen's hand, making Anchen frown.

Tsk, I shouldn't have touched it if I knew it earlier. Anchen threw away the worm and shook it casually, because the rune body had the ability to purify itself, and the juice was all thrown to the ground.

Anchen glanced at Sivir and Opea, who had already walked away, and rushed up.

But she didn't see that the bugs that were supposed to be corpses came out of the cracked body, and it turned out that the split body was just a layer of skin, which was a way of self-preservation. The sap from the insects made a sound on the ground, and a few wisps of green smoke rose from it.

It didn't take long for the ground to be corroded by the sap and a small hole was made.

It can be seen that the body fluids of this insect are a highly corrosive liquid, and judging from the situation on the ground, if it drips on a person's skin, it can cause a person's skin to corrode and fester. It's just because Anchen's physique is special that it didn't work.

The bug crawled in place for a few moments, then spun into a small hole in the corner.

This insect is called a cave beetle, which is a common thing in the desert, but the body fluids of ordinary cave beetles do not have highly corrosive properties at all, which means that under the long-term environmental influence, this cave beetle has mutated.

In other words, in this environment, because of a certain factor, the cave beetle can only survive if it has evolved the ability to adapt to strong corrosive properties.
