Chapter 216: Trapped in the Fighting Room
It's really messy here, there are all kinds of rags, and they are thrown all over the ground, Shen Hao and I were careful, and finally came to the broken hole.
Sure enough, there was blue blood splashed on the ground when the horseshoe crab ancestor fled here, and it stretched intermittently into the storehouse.
I saw that there was no trace of the horseshoe crab around me, so I crouched down and greeted the people outside the cave and let them in.
The first to come was Qixing, followed by An Beimo and Xiao Lin Lan. Once we got together, we all turned on our flashlights and searched the ground for blue blood.
The horseshoe crab ancestor rushed in, obviously panicking, and a lot of its blood was splashed everywhere. We followed the traces all the way, and when we reached the lower part of the storeroom, suddenly a broken hole appeared under our feet, and the traces of blue blood disappeared here.
The hole is not big, but it is enough for horseshoe crabs to get into. I checked the area around the cave and said to the others, "This hole in the ground was not made by the horseshoe crab ancestors, but it existed in the first place!" ”
Everyone can also see that the broken wood at the entrance of the cave has aged, and some of the fractures have turned black, which is definitely old.
I approached cautiously and shone my flashlight downward. On the ground below the cave, I saw the fishing nets that had just been wrapped around the horseshoe crab ancestor, as well as stains of blue blood. Other than that, there's nothing else underneath the emptiness.
Turning the flashlight and looking around, although it didn't hit the corner of the room, I could feel that there wasn't much space underneath. I didn't dare to look down again, for fear that the horseshoe crab ancestor would be around the entrance of the cave.
The others looked at me together, as if asking what to do next. I thought to myself that if I didn't get rid of this monster right away, it would be very difficult to catch it again when it hid.
So I turned my heart on the side and said, "I'll go down and see, and you'll cover me up there!" ”
Shen Hao immediately said urgently: "Are you crazy? Isn't it looking for death when you go down by yourself? ”
I said, "There's so little space down there, if we all go down, if we get attacked, we won't even have a place to dodge." Anyway, it has already broken a few legs, and the threat is not much, so I should be able to handle it if I go down alone. ”
As I spoke, I threw down my flashlight, rolled a few times and fell to the side, the light was still on, and I waited for a while without any movement.
Ignoring the others' resistance, I jumped out of the hole. After landing on the ground, he immediately raised his gun and looked around, but there was no trace of the horseshoe crab ancestor.
With one hand in my hand, I picked up the flashlight that had fallen on the ground and shone it in front of me. Just in the corner on one side, I saw the horseshoe crab ancestor.
Shen Hao above shouted to me anxiously: "Black Eagle, have you found that guy?" An Beimo next to him slapped him back and said, "Don't speak!" Don't distract him. ”
I really didn't have time to answer Shen Hao, because the scene I saw in front of me made me feel extremely weird.
In the corner of the wall in front of me, I saw the horseshoe crab hanging upside down on the roof. Its slender tail was like a rope, and it was hooked to the roof, causing its entire body to hang in mid-air.
There was a puddle of its blue blood on the ground, not a lot, and it seemed that its wounds were not bleeding much. Since I came down, the horseshoe crab ancestor has not reacted, and even if I am now shooting it directly at it with a flashlight, it still hangs there motionless like a hanged ghost.
When the teammates above saw me go down, they didn't speak, they just stared at the place in front of them, they were all anxious and curious, but they didn't dare to ask.
I told my companions what I had found, and I told them to stay on top of it, and I went over to take a look.
At this time, the horseshoe crab ancestor's back shell was facing me, and the pair of dark and round eyes were still open, and I didn't know if they were looking at me. I walked slowly, with a light step. That's when I realized that no matter what angle I looked at, I couldn't seem to see the other side of it.
I couldn't help but be suspicious, but now that I was getting closer, I could see that the body of the horseshoe crab ancestor was shaking slightly, and it also made some very subtle noises from time to time. The sound made my scalp tingle a little bit, like the sound of chewing while eating.
Whatever it was doing at the moment, I had a hunch that it wasn't going to be a good thing. So I took the plunge and strode over and kicked it the back.
I kicked the horseshoe crab like a pendulum, and because it was very close to the wall, with a "bang", the horseshoe crab hit the wall behind it.
I hurriedly backed away to prevent it from coming down to attack. Who knows, the horseshoe crab ancestor did not fall from the roof, but there was another thing "click", fell to the ground, and made a "gurgling" rolling sound.
I looked to the ground with a flashlight and saw a round black stone the size of a duck's egg, rolling down the corner of the wall. Under the light of the flashlight, there is a faint dark blue.
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it was, or where it fell from the horseshoe crab ancestor. The horseshoe crab ancestor, which had been quiet, suddenly became manic, its body was writhing wildly, and it let out a sharp and piercing "squeak" sound.
I took two more steps back, and pointed my gun at the restless horseshoe crab ancestor. It seems that the thing that fell just now is very important to it, and its irritability at the moment is obviously not rushing at me, but frantically looking for the duck-egg-like "black stone".
With a "bang", the roof could not withstand the horseshoe crab ancestor writhing back and forth, and it fell directly from mid-air. When it fell to the ground, it landed on its back again, and it was once again like a turtle that had turned over, kicking its legs and tails back and forth on the ground.
Unfortunately, it was unlucky this time, it was squeezed into the corner, and several times it almost managed to turn over, but it was blocked by the wall.
This time I was finally able to clearly see the body under the thick armor of the horseshoe crab ancestor, it was no different from the horseshoe crabs we had seen before, eight pairs of feet grew tightly on both sides, in the middle of the feet, was its mouth.
However, when I saw its mouth, my heart trembled suddenly, and a chill ran down my spine, which was clearly a human mouth!
The pair of male and female horseshoe crabs I had seen before, as well as the larvae of the horseshoe crabs, had their mouths hidden between several pairs of appendages. During feeding, the appendages grasp the food, and then the horseshoe crab uses the fangs in its mouth to grind the food.
But this horseshoe crab ancestor is completely different from its kind, it does not have appendages, but a mouth that looks like a fleshy mound.
It is called a mouth because it has lips and thick protrusions on the left and right sides, which resemble a human mouth.
At this time, it struggled and writhed on the ground, kicking its feet around, and its "mouth" was writhing back and forth, as if it were actually chewing something.
I'm looking creepy, although I don't understand the evolution of living things, but not all living things evolve towards the human form?
As far as I know, many creatures that have been growing for a long time will in some ways, more or less close to the human form. For example, humanoid salamanders, human-faced spiders, etc., have attracted attention because of the human-like factor. Although science has not yet been able to explain this phenomenon, it is possible that man is the ultimate form of evolution of all living things.
At the moment, I don't know why, I don't have the slightest tolerance for this horseshoe crab, and I have completely abandoned the idea of releasing it back into the sea. Even if it has infinite research value, I don't want it to live in this world again.
With murderous intentions, I took a few steps over, raised my gun to its "mouth", and pulled the trigger. Three shots made three muffled sounds, and this time the bullet entered the horseshoe crab's body without hindrance, splashing a few bits of blue blood.
Sure enough, as I thought, the bottom of the horseshoe crab ancestor's body was its softest part, and after being shot, its body trembled obviously, and it should have felt pain.
Without hesitation, I leaned a few more steps and fired a sweep of bullets. Some of the bullets were blocked by the horseshoe crab's swinging legs, but most of them hit its body. When the half-shuttle bullet was fired, I found that the weakest thing was actually its mouth, and the other parts could still block the bullet.
The horseshoe crab squirmed even more violently, and in its struggle, its body spun around the ground for half a circle, and gradually moved away from the corner of the wall. Suddenly, its tail flicked against the wall, and with a force, it immediately stood on its side.
I knew that as soon as I let it roll over, the gun would be immediately ineffective against it. When I saw that it was about to successfully turn over, I suddenly ran over, kicked the edge of its back shell hard, and kicked the body that was about to turn over again.
"Squeak~" A long and sharp scream, I saw the whole mouth of the horseshoe crab ancestor puffed up, as if whistling, and let out a high-pitched chirp. I know it's time to completely it off!
The horseshoe crab's slender tail flicked wildly, and I was almost swept by it because I was so close to it that I retreated to a safe distance, and although the shooting angle was obstructed, I still shot it left and right in its mouth.
The overturned horseshoe crab ancestor was covered with blue blood splattered everywhere, but its movements were not affected in the slightest, but struggled even more hysterically.
Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" sound, and it was as if something had hit me under my feet. I took the moment to look down, and it turned out to be the black duck egg stone. It is estimated that when the horseshoe crab ancestor was swinging his tail, he inadvertently swept this strange stone, and then rolled to my feet.
I didn't think anything about it, picked it up, stuffed it in my pocket, and continued to shoot at the horseshoe crab.
At this time, there was a "poof" sound, and someone jumped down from it. When I turned around, I saw that it was An Beimo. I shouted at her, "Who let you down?" Go back! ”
An Beimo held a sniper rifle and said to me coldly: "That's no way, we called you more than a hundred times, and you didn't respond." We didn't know what was going on down there, so I had to come down on my own. ”
At this time, I ran out of bullets, I retreated to the position of the hole above my head, and said to An Beimo: "I don't have time to say this now, you come quickly, I'll help you up." ”
An Beimo didn't look back, "Boom" pushed the bullet, and said unceremoniously: "Who said I was going up?" ”
I walked to An Beimo's side in two steps, and while changing into a new magazine, I said to her: "You don't know the situation here, I have basically taken the initiative, and I will be able to subdue it soon." ”
"Really?" When An Beimo saw the horseshoe crab ancestor who was about to turn over again, he suddenly raised his sniper rifle, and when I was unprepared, the "bang" was a shot.
A huge gunshot rang out in such a small space, and I felt like my eardrums were almost bursting. But I didn't care about this, and hurriedly looked up at the horseshoe crab ancestor opposite.
