Niu Gang tied a mountaineering rope around his waist, sat on the edge of the pit of the oil pool, held a stone with more than a hundred catties, brewed his emotions for a while, and then jumped down to the place where Su Lao Ghost had tested.

"Plop" splashed black oil everywhere, fortunately before he jumped, everyone pulled the end of the rope and quickly avoided it, and when the ox steel holding the stone gradually and slowly submerged into the oil, everyone gathered at the edge of the pit to observe the situation.

In fact, all you could see was the rope that was exposed above the oil surface, and everyone watched as it moved forward from the end of the oil around the circular pool, little by little, against the stone wall.

It seems that Niu Gang is groping his way at the bottom of the oil pool, probing for passageways or mechanisms or anything like that.

The entrance of this oil pool is a little narrow, and the seven people can't squeeze in here at all, Bai Yunfei and Wang Ziming were blocked behind, seeing that they couldn't help for a while, and their mood was a little chaotic, Bai Yunfei pulled Wang Ziming to the gate on the steps outside the cave to smoke.

Because it's far from the oil pond and it's also above, it won't cause a fire.

As soon as the two of them lit their cigarettes, they heard a panicked shout from the side of the oil pool, and everyone quickly extinguished the cigarettes and ran back.

As soon as he ran back to the oil pool, he was stunned by the sight in front of him:

I saw that from the cracks and small holes in the dome and the surrounding stone walls, groups of white fireflies flew out one after another!

They flew above the oil pool, and the more they gathered, the more they formed, and they formed a "light cloud" that shone with a dazzling white light!

Yes, they were like a cloud, a cloud that gathered together a bunch of light bulbs, illuminating the cavernous space of this oil pool as bright as day.

Everyone looked at this spectacle in a daze, and they were all stunned by the sudden change in front of them.

What's going on here?

Could it be that these glowing insects are afraid that the light will be dim and everyone will not be able to see clearly, so they have come to illuminate everyone for free?

Thinking of this, everyone hurriedly turned off the flashlight, because the current flashlight light, compared with this "light cloud", has no effect, and it is indeed a waste to turn it on.

After these bright and dazzling fireflies appeared, everyone forgot about Niu Gang at the bottom of the oil pool, and their eyes were all attracted by these fireflies.

These thousands of fluorescent flickering "light clouds" are also like a small square of "starry sky", fluorescent and dazzling, and the whole space from the black oil surface to the dome, as if there is a sea of stars flowing slowly.

This is almost like the world of the fairy tale kingdom, if the stars are shining, twinkling, layered, more like the fireworks in the festival of fireworks in the sky and silver flowers, beautiful, it is really dazzling.

It can be said that everyone is really drunk!

I have never seen such a spectacular firefly, although many people have had the experience of catching fireflies on summer nights when they were children, but it is just a small point of light, and it is not worth mentioning compared to this dazzling spectacle like a cloud of clouds.

Just when everyone was looking at these fireflies that formed a beautiful picture, they hovered in the air and suddenly appeared in an unexpected change for everyone:

After the fireflies appeared, they first brewed in the air for a short time, and then began to bomb enemy planes, diving into the oil in the pit!

Aren't they going to commit suicide en masse? That's a shame.

When everyone's eyes moved to the oil with them, they suddenly found that a dense layer of black insects had emerged on the shiny surface of the pool.

These black bugs are shaped like ladybugs, smaller than ladybugs, and have jet-black bodies.

If it weren't for the swarms of these fireflies swooping downward, if it weren't for the swarms of fireflies that illuminated the entire cave as bright as day, it would have been impossible to detect their existence without looking closely.

These small, black insects are lying on the tarpaulin of oil, greedily sucking on the shiny oil, that is, the oil that seems to be lighter than the oil, and much lighter in color than the oil.

And these little black insects actually floated up from the bottom of this oil pool!

Because now, through the bright light of these fireflies, you can see that these black insects are still rising upwards in the oil.

Everyone is very incomprehensible, how can there be insects in such a chemically strong substance as oil?

Even Wang Ziming was confused, and said unclearly:

"This oil was originally formed after a large number of plants and animals died tens of millions of years ago, was buried in the ground, and gradually formed through a long period of compression and heating.

Geologists refer to the temperature range at which oil forms as the 'oil window', with oil not forming at too low temperatures and natural gas forming at too high temperatures.

There may be places where the temperature of geothermal heat is not high enough, and those prehistoric underground insects have not all died, and they have gradually adapted to the environment of abundant air and nutrients buried underground, and slowly got used to this state of existence in the evolution of tens of trillions of years, and formed a food chain relationship with oil, right? ”

Listening to him, at this time, everyone saw that these fireflies with dazzling light actually swooped down from the air, rushed above the insects on the oil surface, and devoured these black insects frantically.

This scene made everyone even more stupid, oh my God!

Could this be about the embodiment of the film images of ancient Greek mythology? Those white angels flew to the dark messengers of hell, and good and evil clashed to the death...

Although this is a fantasy, in front of this magnificent picture, everyone's brains are a little insufficient.

Bai Yunfei asked Wang Ziming beside him:

"I was under the impression that fireflies were supposed to be vegetarian creatures, but I didn't expect them to be able to feast on meat."

Wang Ziming said:

"You're wrong, fireflies are carnivorous creatures, and the larval stage mainly eats snails, snails, shellfish, etc.

Don't look at the small size of the larvae, you can dare to compete with the snail until the snail is eaten. This is because it has a unique set of 'martial arts secrets'. ”

As he spoke, Wang Ziming squatted down so that he could observe the fireflies that were hunting on the oil surface more closely, and then continued: "

When the larvae find the snail, the firefly kisses the snail with its slender jaws, and in an almost tickling and kiss-like motion, the snail exposes most of its body outside the shell.

Fireflies use a pair of sharp jaws to prick the snail several times and inject anesthetic into the snail to anesthetize it.

Then, the snail is injected with a digestive enzyme until it melts into a thin, delicious gravy, and then the companions are called to dinner, and they gather around the snail and insert their needle-like mouths into the snail's meat to suck up the juice.

But when they become adults, they stop hunting, just drink some dew or collect some nectar, until they finally starve to death. ”

"Is it so amazing?" A few people around me asked in unison.

Wang Ziming nodded and said affirmatively:

"I once searched the Internet for these cute and 'scary' fluorescent creatures, and found a lot of discrepancies.

Biologists have experimented with narcotics and digestive enzymes secreted by fireflies into tanks where sharks are raised.

Within a few minutes, the shark will squirm restlessly, trying to slip away, but it will not be able to swim, and after a while it will be paralyzed and unable to move, and it will die with its belly upturned up.

It can be seen that this little cute glowing bug is quite terrifying.

Because they have this toxin, birds don't feed on fireflies, and lizards hate them. ”

Just when everyone was stunned and shocked, a more magical and terrifying scene actually appeared.

I only heard Li Yulan screaming loudly: "Look, what is that?" ”

Everyone followed the direction of her finger and saw a blood-red python-like thing emerging from a hole in the cave wall under the dome.

The reason why it is said to be like a python, but no one will say that it is a python, is because although it is also as long as a snake, it does not have the head of a python.

And the color of this thing is really weird, although there is also a red python, but the monster in front of you and the red python are completely two concepts.

Just when everyone was still in doubt about this giant python-like blood-red monster that had just appeared, another unexpected upheaval happened.

When this drastic change happened, Bai Yunfei scolded in his heart, he must look at the yellow calendar when he goes out in the future, if he doesn't look at the yellow calendar and doesn't choose the right auspicious day of the zodiac, he deserves to be stupid by the "surprise".

I saw that after the blood-red monster came out of the hole, it jumped to the edge of the oil pool, and the area where the oil pool was connected with the cave wall around the perimeter had a ridge left over from the time of repairing, just enough for it to jump.

I saw the blood-red monster quickly rolling around the oil pool, eating the fireflies.

If it eats those fireflies directly, it will not surprise everyone, and it is so surprising that everyone thinks that it sees ghosts, it does not eat those fireflies directly, but from its evil eyes that shine with the ghostly fire, from time to time shoots out "thunderbolts" winding, rippling lightning sparks, those fireflies are roasted by the electric sparks to charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then it becomes a delicious meal in its mouth.

The lightning spark was bright and dazzling, and it was very loud, almost like the electric batons that the security company equipped the security personnel with.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden monster, and hurriedly rushed back, but it was so fast that everyone's hearts were about to jump to their throats, and as soon as they took a few steps back, they picked up the tools in their hands to defend, and saw that it had already released several electric sparks, and jumped along the arc-shaped oil pool.

The blood-red monster that shone with dazzling twists and turns of electric sparks jumped to the entrance of the cave in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

But it doesn't seem to take the humans in mind at all, and maybe the fireflies are the real delicacy compared to the others.

So when it jumped in front of the crowd, it did not pounce on them and attack, but demonstratively jumped into the air.

It shook in the air a few times, and released a wave of electric sparks again, and after a "crackling" sound, another group of fireflies turned from beautiful white insects into charred corpses, exuding a scorched smell.

Before it could fall, it swallowed it in a few bites like lightning.

Although this blood-red monster has no hands or feet, and travels by rolling and wriggling, it is also extremely fast, and can take a leisurely walk after jumping into the air, and eat the charred fireflies with a few shakes of the head while discharging sparks.

These actions are done in one go, and then they jump to another place, continue to discharge, and pounce.

Seeing this scene, several people in the team invariably asked, "Oh my God, what the hell is this?!" ”

In the ranks of everyone, if there is anyone who can answer this question, there is only Wang Ziming.

Everyone hurriedly looked at him, hoping that he would give an answer as soon as possible.

Because this thing is really scary, it's creepy to watch, and it can actually be discharged, it's weird to go home!

I saw Wang Ziming's face pale, swallowing and foaming with difficulty, staring at the blood-red monster and saying nervously:

"There is a bizarre legend that has been passed down for centuries in the Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia - there is a huge blood-red bug, they have a strange shape, they can spray highly corrosive and poisonous liquids, and they can also radiate a strong electric current from the eyes, killing people and animals several meters away, and slowly devouring them...

People call it the 'Worm of Death'. ”

Wang Ziming stared at the weird, ugly and mysterious big insect in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said uncertainly:

"I'm not too sure if this monster is the legendary 'Death Bug', and people have always thought that those legends were untrue lies, but to this day there are still people who claim to have seen it from time to time, saying that it lives under the dunes of the Gobi Desert or in the hot Gobi Valley.

The 'Death Bug' is generally about five feet long, about one meter five, slightly shorter than the height of an adult, with a red and dark spot, a spike-like head and tail, and a vague head organ.

Because this terrifying bug resembles a hermit in the intestines of a cow, it is also known as a 'sandworm' or 'intestinal worm'.

The worm crawls in a strange way, either rolling forward or squirming forward.

Witnesses usually see them appearing in June and July, the hottest months of the year, and hibernate in the sand dunes at other times, unless the Gobi Desert is happy with rain, and it is rare to burrow out to suck fresh rain.

Originally... I thought it was just a legend, but judging from all the performances after it appeared, I didn't expect that there was such a thing in this world, and it seems that the local herdsmen did not lie.

But this one... It's too big, right? These are the two big ones in the legend.

And... Now this season... Why doesn't it hibernate? ”
