Looking at the horse monkey, the anger in the second master's heart would not come to one place, if he hadn't been unlucky, everyone would not have followed him to suffer these crimes, and now the life and death of the iron head are unknown, thinking about it, the second master will go up and kick him twice.

But at this time, the second master seemed to have forgotten, if he hadn't kicked the horse monkey into the dark river, what would have happened next!

The second master resisted the impulse, and then beckoned Weisheng and Huiyang, and took the lead in the water! Seeing that the second master went into the water, the horse monkey who was already crawling on the water's edge grabbed the shore with both hands and slipped back into the water with a bang.

The bank of the river, which was not wide, was not wide in a short time, and five people climbed to the opposite bank!

Seeing that the second master didn't have time to tidy up his already wet clothes, he walked away!

As soon as the remaining four people saw that the second master did not delay his feet, and he didn't even have time to twist the water on his clothes, they walked forward, how could they not know the urgency in their hearts, and then hurriedly followed!

After walking for a while, the horse monkey secretly approached Weisheng's side: "Big brother, I look at your appearance, it seems that you have known the death worm for a long time, what kind of guy is it, can you tell me about it?" ”

Just when the horse monkey was asking, Huiyang, who was walking in front, paused, and fell to Weisheng's side: "Immeasurable Buddha, the monk will help you memorize a paragraph!" Seeing Huiyang say, stretch out your hand to pick it up!

Originally, I wanted to back down, but I thought in my heart that Huiyang had been resting for so long, and it was still a group, so I didn't hesitate, and after letting the senior brother, it was like rummaging in my head, and after a pause, I told the story.

Michael explorer Klermac is an authoritative expert on the search for the "Death Bug", he went to Mongolia twice as early as 1890 and 1892 respectively to find the traces of the "Death Bug", although the first two expeditions did not achieve his expected goal, but he was deeply attracted by the mystery of the "Death Bug".

Local residents have been in close contact with the "death bugs".

In the summer of 1903, Klermac returned to Gumont to fulfill his desire to explore, this time with a prepared departure.

His plan is to fly low-altitude in the Mongolian Gobi in an ultralight hot air balloon, so as to effectively expand the scope of exploration, and he hopes to find the "death worms" lying on the sand dunes basking in the sun through this method, record the specific living habits and characteristics of the "death worms", and fill in the detailed information about the "death worms" in Mongolia.

Based on the experience of the first two expeditions, Kellermac has compiled a "intelligence material" with practical value, which is a must-read for scientists and hunters who have come to explore the "death worm".

In this document, Kellermack points out that the "death worms" that resemble sausages are 5 to 8 meters long, the size of a calf, and resemble the intestinal worms found in cattle. It has a short tail end, as if it had been cut off by a knife, and the tail end is not tapered.

Due to the blurred shape of the eyes, nostrils, and mouth of the "death worm", the head and tail are not specifically identified by witnesses at first glance.

The Death Worm crawls in a strange way, either rolling forward or wriggling its body to one side.

Death worms live beneath deserted sand dunes or in the hot Gobi Valley, and are usually seen by eyewitnesses during the hottest months of the year in June and July. Other times, it burrows into the sand dunes and lives a hibernation life, unless the Gobi Desert is happy with rain, and the "death worm" will burrow out of the sand dunes to bathe in the Gobi and enjoy the rare freshness and humidity.

Just a few years ago, the explorer Dex formed an expedition team and traveled thousands of miles to the vast Gobi in ancient Mongolia to explore the traces of the "death worm".

It is understood that Dex's greatest hobby in his life is to explore the mysterious areas of the earth, and he once organized expeditions to go to various dangerous places.

Dex said, "I first learned about the 'Death Worm' from some of my friends, and there are many stories about the 'Death Worm' in the nomadic Gumeng. For many years, the herders living there have talked about the discoloration of insects, and they refuse to talk about the 'death worm', it is terrible! ”

With the help of a friend and a local Gumeng guide, Dex found the first campsite on their expedition to a dilapidated temple in the Gobi. At the time of Klermac's first expedition in 1890, there were many monks at the temple, and perhaps Klermac's impression of the "death worm" was mostly from the monks' mouths. Today, it's a ruined place.

When people first hear about the "Death Worm" in the legend of Gumon, they think it's just a made-up joke, just like the weird bugs in ghost legends and comic strips.

However, the "death worm" does not seem to be an absurd legend, and many eyewitness accounts of it are surprisingly consistent: it lives under the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert, is about 5 meters long, has a snow-white and red body, has dark spots on its red body, has spike-shaped heads and tails, and has vague head organs, but some can clearly say that it resembles a chrysanthemum.

The "death worm" was named "hell maggot" because of the appearance of this terrifying worm that resembles a worm that lives in the intestines of cows, and is also known as an intestinal worm.

According to eyewitnesses, every appearance of the "death worm" will mean death and danger, as it will not only spew deadly venom, but also radiate a strong electric current from the eye to kill prey several meters away.

And we were lucky to be able to survive.

The first time the expedition saw hope was in the Gobi National Park, where a guide explained that they saw carved displays of "death worms", as well as local snow leopards and wild white goats.

The guide also said that the mysterious "death worm" is the pride of the museum and the highlight of visitors' attention. At the same time, the enthusiastic guide also told them that an old man 30 kilometers away had been studying the "death bug" for many years, and that he might be able to learn more from the old man.

In the old man's Mongolian tent, he pointed out on the expedition's map the locations where the "Death Worms" frequented, often in precarious areas. He also told Davis that the "Death Worms" usually appear in June and July, and that they burrow out of the sand whenever the dog grass blooms after the rains.

In addition, he pointed out that in the Gobi Valley, where death worms often appear, there are also poisonous spiders and poisonous snakes, which are never afraid of the presence of humans, and they will launch deadly attacks on humans who invade their territory.

Then over the next few days, the expedition came to an area where no foreign explorers had allegedly ever arrived. There, a young man said that he had seen a "death worm" near a well three years ago and that it was often seen by the residents of the village.

On the way, Dex came into contact with a man who told the expedition that he had accidentally encountered the "Death Worm", and that his arm was burned by the venom sprayed by the terrible "Death Worm", and when he endured the pain and tied the "Death Worm" with a large blanket, the "Death Worm" escaped from the large blanket with a green corrosive venom.

Based on the information and materials obtained during the expedition, Dex and his party decided to try their luck to find the traces of the "Death Worm" on their own, and they "set up" in three locations where the "Death Worm" is said to be frequented, and decided to search for the "Death Worm" at different times of the day.

They searched for two hours in the early morning, two hours after breakfast and two hours after lunch, and in the evening they searched everywhere for the "death worm", but as the days passed, and after six or seven hours a day, they still found no trace of it.

Although Dex did not witness the "Death Worm" during this expedition, he was still confident in the story of the "Death Worm".

He quoted Anlooth as saying, "If it weren't for the widespread story of the 'Death Worm' and the consistent description of it by every eyewitness, people would have thought of it as a bizarre legend." ”

But as it turned out, the expedition was fascinated by the mysterious Gobi of Mongolia, and Dex said he would organize a second expedition in the future to uncover the mystery of the "death worm"!

Despite its ugly appearance, the Mongolian "Death Worm" does not hide its bloodiness and brutality. If the reports from the outside world are to be believed, this monster will be the "ultimate killer" of animals.

According to rumors from the outside world, you can imagine that it is a monster that can spit out corrosive liquids like sulfuric acid, a monster that can even kill people with electricity ejected from its eyes.

Some people believe that there is a mysterious animal in the Mongolian Gobi Desert, which cannot be ruled out, but it is doubtful that the "death worm" is so terrifyingly lethal as the locals call it.

Therefore, it is reminiscent of the salamander mystery in medieval Europe, when people thought that this salamander was highly poisonous, and some even speculated that Alexander the Great's soldiers lost their lives after drinking water from a stream with salamanders.

But modern scientists know that salamanders are not poisonous. Similar terrifying legends exist in today's Sudan, where the python is so venomous that people can die if they touch it. The fact is that this python is not poisonous at all.

There are also some people who do not think that the so-called "intestinal worm" is a kind of worm, because the worm needs moist air and soil, and the environment in which the intestinal worm is located obviously does not have such conditions. If such an animal exists in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, it is more likely to be a skink, a lizard with short or vestigial legs.

Some scientists believe that this monster is a skink.

What puzzles scientists is that if this monster is a skink, although skinks like to live in sand, they cannot secrete venom. In fact, only two species of venomous lizards are known——— poisonous lizards and Mexican bearded lizards, and they have never been found in Asia.

If it is not a lizard, then it may be an unknown snake species. Some zoologists say that the Gumeng "death worm" fits people's descriptions of deadly venomous snakes.

The deadly viper is a highly venomous snake native to Australia.

Deadly venomous snakes are closely related to cobras, while several species of cobras spew venom in self-defense.

However, this venom is only dangerous if it comes into contact with the eyes, and it certainly does not possess any corrosive properties.

Cobras are even less likely to release electric current. Although eels and several other species of fish can discharge electricity, they cannot live on land, and for all animals that live on land, they do not have this skill at all.

So far, there has been a divided scientific opinion as to whether there really is a problem with the Gumeng "Death Bug", so this will be the first question that Dex's expedition team will solve.

If the "Death Worm" does exist, the expedition team will be able to study whether it is really as bizarre and deadly as the locals say.

But the experienced expedition team cautions against placing unrealistic expectations on their trip to Mongolia, as past scientists who have tried to solve the mysteries of nature around the world have shown that the more mysterious and the older the "monsters", the more difficult it is to identify them.

However, regardless of whether or not there will be a breakthrough in this expedition, they will continue to focus on the "death worm".

Of course, at first I didn't believe that there was such a creature when I didn't see the "Death Worm", but at the first sight of the "Death Worm", I believed it! ”

After Weisheng finished speaking, he didn't forget to look back at the horse monkey and Huiyang around him!
