Volume 1 Immortal Mountain Ruins Chapter 78 Strange Bugs
"Brother Pei, until just now I didn't believe that there was such a thing as a mountain ghost in this world, but when it appeared in front of my eyes, it completely subverted my cognition. To be honest, when you told the story yesterday, I really thought it was made up by you, and now I know that you may have really experienced that scene......" Hua Tianyu said, "We want to continue to walk with you to see and learn, no matter what happens, we will never regret it!" ”
"You don't regret it, but what about the two girls?" I gestured to Xu Yunshu and Zeng Xiaomi.
Xu Yunshu met my gaze and said firmly: "I don't regret it!" Then I turned my gaze to Zeng Xiaomi. Zeng Xiaomi was the least daring of the three girls, and after she looked at Xu Yunshu, she said timidly: "I...... I can ...... too."
Before I could speak, Xiao Ai said first: "It's useless to talk about this now." There are mountain ghosts guarding there, and it is impossible for Yunshu and them to go back the way they came. For now, we can only follow us first, so we can take care of it, and then find another way! ”
It took me a long time to roast around the fire before I felt my body warm. This is a two-story cave, where we are located is exactly where the cave hall is, compared to the "coffin field" above, it is only a big one, and the height is very large, dozens of meters, there are several holes not far from us, and several deep passages that lead to it are connected there. I asked everyone to look around in the cave hall, and I put on my clothes and carried a flashlight to the cold pool to observe.
It is a deep pool formed by the convergence of underground rivers. The river comes from one side, gathers here, and then flows away from the other. It seems that the location of this cold pool should be a huge stone pit, so the water converges here to form a pool.
I shone my flashlight into the water and saw that there were fish swimming in the icy water. I shone the flashlight at the fish, and then leaned down to look, and saw that the body of the fish was translucent, and the bones and internal organs could be faintly seen. Although I didn't go into the water, I was very close to the fish, and it was swimming on the surface of the water, as if it didn't see me at all, and still swam slowly in the water. I reached out to grab it, and as soon as my hand touched the water, the fish bones slipped away and disappeared.
"There is no sunlight here all year round, and its eyes have deteriorated, and it can only perceive its surroundings by the fluctuations of the water." Xu Yunshu came behind me and explained to me.
"Amazing, isn't it?" I stood up and said to her.
Xu Yunshu said: "Yes, if I hadn't followed you in, I really wouldn't have seen such a strange fish." I've only seen it on popular science programs on TV before. ”
"It's not just fish, you see!" I pointed to a strange translucent green bug crawling on the ground and said, "The creatures here are pretty interesting." "Seeing the appearance of that bug reminds me of the fat bean worm I saw when I was a child. I crouched down and put my hands on the ground, trying to get the bugs to crawl up. But before the transparent worm could get closer, it hurriedly turned around, and it didn't see that it had no legs, but it didn't affect its speed of escape at all. I stepped forward and grabbed it, then forced it on the palm of my hand. The transparent worm, like the fish in the water, had its eyes degraded, leaving only two white dots there as an ornament.
"Be careful, it could be poisonous!" Xu Yunshu kindly reminded me. Before she could finish her sentence, I saw that the worm was rolling in my hand as if it had been tortured. After struggling for a while, it suddenly stopped moving, and then its abdomen exploded outward, and a stream of green blood mixed with internal organs sprayed onto my hand, which looked very disgusting.
This inexplicable scene startled me: "This insect is too angry, isn't it?" After being caught, I would rather commit suicide than be humiliated! "To prove that it wasn't an accident, I caught a few more of the same bugs, and the result was the same, and the bugs exploded and died.
At this time, the altar also rushed over, and when he saw this situation, he praised again and again: "O righteous man and righteous man! Such a virtuous insect is really rare, and it is better to break the jade than to be complete! Admire, admire! As he spoke, he went to find the bugs, and had a great time, one after the other, not caring about the slime left behind when the bugs exploded.
This kind of insect is both interesting and strange, although it is fun, but we don't know why it is like this, we can only guess by imagination, but Xu Yunshu gave us a more convincing explanation: "I guess maybe these insects live on the edge of the cold pool all year round, and their bodies have adapted to the cold, and suddenly put them on your hand and feel your body temperature, which makes its blood pressure rise rapidly, so that there is an explosion, right?" ”
"After all, I went to college, and what I said is really reasonable!" For beautiful women, the altar never hesitates to praise words.
"Hey, Jar, why do you have so much green slime on you? Aren't you going to kill insects too? "When I returned to the fire, I suddenly noticed a large patch of green on the garment that was being baked in the jar, which had not been there before.
The altar glanced at it and said indifferently: "It's not that the blood that fell from the mountain ghost's body after being injured has dripped all over my body!" ”
"The mountain ghost is injured?" I thought, "Looks like guns are still working for it." ”
"Not necessarily! Judging by its tall and thick skin, perhaps the bullets only wounded its fur...... But the pain is certain, otherwise they wouldn't have been so furious? "Jar fiddled with the pistol in his hand, he had just taken a lot of bullets from my hand.
"Come and see, there are two dead bodies here!" Wei Peng called us over, with urgency in his voice.
Hearing that there was a dead person, Xu Yunshu and I hurried over, but the jar just looked up, didn't move at all, and then loaded the pistol. In his eyes, the only things that could be seen better than guns were money and treasure.
Before the two of us got close, we saw Xiao Ai's sad face. When they got closer, they found that the two corpses were wearing glasses and their archaeological research institute uniforms. The two corpses, to put it more appropriately, should be two lumps of flesh, they couldn't distinguish their facial features at all, all the internal organs were exposed, and blood was splashed five meters away. I looked up and saw that their dead form must have fallen from above, otherwise it wouldn't have been like this. I looked at the other people again, Zeng Xiaomi was nauseous on the side, it must have been uncomfortable after looking at the corpse, and Wei Peng was beside her and patted her back intimately. Hua Tianyu and Xiao Ai also turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. After Xu Yunshu glanced at it, she immediately turned her head and walked aside with the gushing stomach acid.
