Chapter 222: Mutant Creatures
readx; The fat man's meaning is very clear, except for Li Wanting who can take it away, the rest of the people don't have to worry about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Ning Xiaofan shook his head and said: "She said, don't worry about eating, there are mushrooms and ferns in this forest that can be eaten, oh, she said that there are some small animals here, what rabbits, deer or something......"
"Really? True or fake? The fat man's little eyes blinked, "The mushrooms here are edible?" Can that stuff be eaten casually? β
"Don't you know if you've eaten it? Later, they will collect some, and if they can eat them, they will take them with them, after all, it is a few lives, not that they can be thrown away. β
"That's, if that's the case, we can also change the food environment, during this time we have been gnawing on packaged food, and we are about to fade out." The fat man came, with a serious expression, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had never said that he would leave it alone.
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fat man's seemingly good virtues, he finally understood the shamelessness of the fat man at this moment, his heart was ruthless enough, and his face was thick enough.
"By the way, that girl is really your neighbor?" The fat man asked with a wink of small eyes.
"What do you think?"
"Hehe, not bad, yes, you want to have a face, you want to have a figure, and you want to be full of masturbation......" The fat man's expression suddenly became obscene.
"Stroke your sister" Ning Xiaofan raised his leg and kicked it......
What Li Wanting said is true, the mushrooms and ferns collected are not only edible, but also extremely delicious. The problem of eating was solved, Ning Xiaofan, the fat man and others were less worried, and the cumbersome words were naturally never mentioned.
After lunch, everyone rested in the makeshift camp for nearly an hour, and then began to pack up and prepare for departure.
However, in this dreamlike, fairyland-like environment, there are still deadly dangers, and the giant monster is an example.
With this premise, before setting off, Ning Xiaofan reorganized and integrated the team.
Hou San and an armed man from the other side were exploring the way ahead. Zhang Chun and Chen Biao were on the left side of the team, Yang Hai and one of his armed men were on the right side of the team, Ning Xiaofan, Li Wanting and Professor Zhao walked in the middle of the team, followed by Lao Wang and Xiaoshanzi, who were in charge of logistics, and at the back of the team were fat men and Wang Zhipeng, who was not very popular.
In this way, although the number of troops has increased, they are under armed protection in front and behind, and the safety factor has not weakened.
The reason for this is that this glowing forest is so valuable for research that Professor Zhao and others have to break away from the team from time to time, or take pictures, or collect samples, or study around a strange-shaped plant for a long time.
Walking and stopping all the way, Ning Xiaofan also urged many times, Professor Zhao and others promised perfunctorily, but their footsteps were procrastinating, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time. I was in a hurry, so I reluctantly followed the team.
But not long after, when these experts and scholars saw some strange plants or strange geological forms again, they reverted to their old ways and left the team to conduct research.
These experts and scholars are too dedicated, and if they follow this way, it is estimated that they will not be able to go far by night. No, Professor Zhao and the others saw a few plants with strange shapes and purple light, just like seeing a beautiful woman stripped naked, their eyes lit up one by one, and they surrounded them with a hula.
This time, no matter how Ning Xiaofan urged, several experts and scholars were dumbfounded and deaf, and refused to move half a minute.
Ning Xiaofan was very helpless about this, and wanted to leave it alone, but she couldn't help but consider Li Wanting's feelings, so she had no choice but to find Li Wanting and signal her to persuade her.
Li Wanting naturally felt Ning Xiaofan's impatience, and she couldn't help it, but she knew too well that Professor Zhao and others were obsessed with novelties, and she couldn't help them.
Can't scold, can't beat, can't throw away, put these experts and scholars on the stall, Ning Xiaofan has a headache, he can only consider himself unlucky, Yu Crisp stopped moving forward, and rested on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofan, Professor Zhao, they are such people, this place is too valuable for research, they also want to get more samples to study, please bear with me." Li Wanting said apologetically. She was a little thoughtful, knowing that Ning Xiaofan was dissatisfied with Professor Zhao and them, so she didn't stay with Professor Zhao and the others, and kept following Ning Xiaofan so that she could make peace at any time.
"What if you don't take it? With you, I can't leave them alone. Ning Xiaofan sighed helplessly, and said, "By the way, you said that Professor Zhao is a biological expert, so did he study what that monster is?" Won't it be a dinosaur? β
"Dinosaurs? Hehe, you're talking about the big guy, no, when we first met the big guy, we thought we had met a dinosaur, and then we took a closer look and found that it was a lizard, but I don't know why it got bigger. At noon, when he was in the temporary camp, Professor Zhao used an instrument to analyze the collected blood, and found that the blood gene was similar to the known lizard gene......"
"Mutant lizards? How so? β
"Have you ever heard of the Komodo dragon?"
"Komodo dragons? A little impression, is it a giant lizard that grows in Australia? β
"It's not Australia, it's Indonesia, the Komodo dragon is only found in Indonesia, and it's the largest known lizard species on Earth. Of course, the history of the largest lizard species is about to be rewritten compared to the mutant monitor lizard we encountered, and this is also one of the most valuable discoveries we made this time ...... sinkhole. β
"Uh, that mutant monitor lizard, what does it have to do with the Komodo dragon you were talking about?"
"Of course it does, so to tell you, although the mutant monitor lizard is huge, it has not changed much in form, the eyes, the head shape, the broad front jaw, the slender and forked tongue, the thick limbs and the pointed claws, including the pimple-like epidermis on the body, are almost exactly the same as the shape of the Komodo dragon. If you look closely, it's an enlarged version of a Komodo dragon. β
As soon as Li Wanting talked about academic issues, she became radiant, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she knew a little bit of beauty, but her eyes quickly showed a little confusion: "Morphologically speaking, that mutant monitor lizard belongs to the species of Komodo dragon, but what we can't figure out at the moment is how can a creature like a Komodo dragon appear in this sinkhole?" Also, why is it so big? It's almost comparable to dinosaurs, but if it's mutation, what does it do? Is it radiation? Or whatever
Li Wanting said and spoke, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and she didn't know if she was asking Ning Xiaofan or talking to herself
Ning Xiaofan naturally couldn't answer these questions, and Yu coughed, slightly embarrassed, and said, "That...... That's a question that only you experts can answer. β
Li Wanting caught a glimpse of him looking slightly embarrassed, and then she came to her senses, and her face flushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now." β
"It's nothing, the discovery of new species is also something to celebrate, which shows that you didn't come in vain this time."
"Yes, this time it really didn't come in vain, this mutant monitor lizard, and this forest that can emit light, no matter which one is exposed, it will definitely cause a shock in the entire academic world." Li Wanting said, and suddenly became excited.
Li Wanting was excited, Ning Xiaofan suddenly heard something, her brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Wanting noticed Ning Xiaofan's expression, and said slightly strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Not happy?
"No, I was thinking, that mutant monitor lizard is that big? Where does the food come from? β
Ning Xiaofan didn't say it's okay, this said, Li Wanting was stunned at first, and then her pretty face became pale, and her voice trembled: "It's not good, the Komodo dragon is a carnivore, and its surname is quite fierce, even its own kind have to be eaten by cruelty, not to mention other creatures." If we can find the first end here, there will definitely be a second head, no, we have to get out of this area quickly......"
The so-called good spirit, bad spirit, as soon as Li Wanting's voice fell, there was a faint roar of beasts in the distance.
Whew-w
Listen to the sound of a roar similar to the roar of the giant lizard that blew it up.
Although the roar was far away, everyone present heard it, and everyone who was originally sitting on the ground to rest stood up at once, looking nervous one by one. Professor Zhao and the others who were surrounding the glowing plants also looked up at the roar, and Professor Zhao's face also changed greatly at this time, and he muttered uncontrollably: "Komodo, it's Komodo......
Whewββ
There was another beast roar, and the roar seemed to be closer, and with the beast roar, the earth seemed to tremble slightly
Ning Xiaofan's position was on higher ground, and when he looked at the place where the beast roared, he saw a glowing forest in the distance shaking violently, as if some kind of huge creature was crushing from the woods, and the violently shaking woods swept towards this side quickly like a wave.
"The monster is coming, run" Ning Xiaofan hurriedly shouted a warning, followed by a handful of Li Wanting's arm, and ran away
When the fat man and the others heard this, they dared to stay in place, and one by one they tore off their legs like frightened rabbits and started running, and even Professor Zhao and others, who were a little sluggish, fled in a panic.
Boom, boom......
Everyone ran wildly, and they didn't know how far they had escaped, until their legs were as heavy as lead and they were a little out of breath, and then they gradually slowed down.
Fortunately, the roar of the beast in the distance stopped sounding, and everyone was able to stop and catch their breath.
To say that Ning Xiaofan was the first to run away this time, but when he arrived, he actually fell behind, although pulling Li Wanting affected his speed a little, but he was surpassed by Professor Zhao, who looked like he was over the age of sixties, and almost didn't make him so depressed that he vomited blood......
