Chapter 387: Monsters in the Cave
In Su Yuan's eyes, it was a penguin, a huge penguin. He is two meters tall, chubby, and clumsy. Waddling there aimlessly.
When everyone got closer, they finally discovered this. The people who were still discussing the penguin just now were a little overwhelmed by the behemoth in front of them.
It's obviously a penguin, but it doesn't have the kind of cuteness that people know. On the contrary, it gives people an indescribable stupidity and a weird feeling.
"What is this?" Someone asked. But without waiting for someone to answer, Su Yuan directly raised his hand and killed the big guy with one shot.
"What are you doing, this is a new breed that has never been discovered before." Frank was in a hurry on the spot. But Su Yuan didn't pay attention to him.
"I'm a security consultant, and this thing is so big that it's a serious safety hazard."
When everyone heard this, they felt as if they had some sense. But there seems to be something wrong with it. Anyway, the hiccup passed quickly. No one would really turn their faces in the Antarctic Interior because they killed a penguin. What's more, Su Yuan also has absolute force in the team.
The polar pull was no longer available, and everyone entered the mountains. You can only start walking on foot. Fortunately, the mountains are already in sight.
After another four hours of trekking, the crowd began to see traces of a human camp. Needless to say, this is a trace left by the previous expedition. At the same time, not far from the camp, everyone also saw a very conspicuous cave.
"That's it, the last wave of people who came here to resupply is completely insufficient. The cave was not explored in depth, but they found evidence of artificial traces. Our goal is to explore the cave and collect all the information inside. Everyone is camped in place and will start work tomorrow. ”
Arriving at their destination, the crowd finally relaxed. After setting up the camp, Su Yuan walked to the cave alone. The clue was actually correct, even at the mouth of the cave, he was able to determine that the animals were not naturally formed. It's just that it doesn't look like it was made by industrial forces either. If Su Yuan really said it, he felt more like some kind of large creature had dug it up.
A creature that can do this level is obviously not a simple character. However, according to the expedition team, these caves are at least a million years old, so there is no problem at present.
When night falls and the blizzard stops, the starry sky in Antarctica is exceptionally clear. Su Yuan looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly found that he hadn't seen the stars like this for a long time. Just looking at the stars in this world is really not a good choice. Whenever he looked up at the starry sky, Su Yuan always remembered a sentence that should have been recorded in the Book of Necronomicon.
'When the stars return, the day when the gods return. ’
……………………
The next day, the recuperated expedition team finally began its official work. They fiddled with their instruments and walked into the cave. Su Yuan followed behind, looking at the people in front of him, and suddenly felt that they had walked into the mouth of an unknown creature.
The cave will soon be illuminated by a variety of modern lighting fixtures. Su Yuan saw the sign of a huge five-pointed star on the cave wall at first glance.
"That's it, that's when the expedition team discovered this, and only then did they determine that this is definitely a trace of civilization." With an indescribable frenzy, Frank looked at the strange five-pointed star that he didn't know whether to call it a carving or a fresco.
Su Yuan was also looking at the thing, but he quickly determined that the thing was just some kind of decoration. On the contrary, it was in the cave that there was a very uncomfortable feeling that made him feel very uncomfortable.
The expedition continued to advance, advancing for thousands of kilometers, until it finally came to a suspicious end.
There, the walls of the cave have changed. No longer a thick layer of rock, but an unknown material of dark brown with numerous folds. However, the people of the expedition did not pay attention to this, and their eyes were attracted by what was on the ground.
It was a criss-crossed, tentacle-like thing. It looks like the tentacles of some kind of creature. However, because of millions of years of changes, most of them have been buried.
"Quick, dig it out." Frank's face became more and more frenzied.
Su Yuan was on the sidelines, but he didn't stop it. He knew it was dangerous. But it can't be stopped. He had a strong premonition that he had to push the progress of this world as fast as possible. The longer he stays, the more dangerous he becomes. It was an intuition from a divine being, felt from the moment he intervened in the Antarctic expedition.
And pushing these things to happen as much as possible is his only option.
Several members of the expedition were busy for a while. Soon got one of them out.
"Oh my God, these things still have elastic muscles, they should have been here for millions of years."
"That's not right, we can get their data more intuitively."
The crowd dragged the thing out and laid it on the ground. Only then did Su Yuan see the full picture of that thing.
Overhead is a five-pointed star. The body resembles a giant cylinder. It is very tall, with five legs and three or four meters. The upper body and lower body have a large number of tentacles. There is no doubt that the 'hand' of this thing is capable of performing all kinds of complex operations. It has a pair of wings on its back, something like that. But it seems to have degenerated. Measured, the pair of wings wasn't enough for it to fly.
And after digging up this one, everyone quickly found more tentacles.
"Quick, there's more here. The expedition team was excited for another bit of work, and eventually dug up seven more monsters from the mixture of rock and dirt. ”
"God, it looks like something has happened to him, hiding in a cave. But in the end, they all died here. ”
Dead here? Su Yuan silently recited these words in his heart, and then personally checked those things. It's cold and slippery to get into. But unfortunately, as an unknown species, it is impossible to judge whether this thing is alive or not by its body temperature.
Su Yuan could only judge by feeling, and in the end, he also came to the result that there were no signs of life. But for some reason, he still felt that something was wrong. The feeling made him uncomfortable. It was the first, near-fully positional world he experienced. Although I know that this is the world view of the Cthulhu series, there are many stories under this world view. Su Yuan hasn't seen much, and he has completely lost that kind of control of the plot.
The crowd dragged all the corpses to the mouth of the cave and dragged them back to the camp on sleds.
Frank, a paleontologist, can't wait to unravel these things.
