Chapter 162: Insectivorous Plants

Brother Long led the team in front, this time we won't make marks, wherever we go, just scrape off those mosses.

Not only can you see the numbers, but you can also make a signpost for us.

I don't know how long it took me, but I felt hungry anyway.

I looked at my watch, and it was already half past twelve at noon, that is, we had been walking all morning and had not yet walked out of this stone forest.

And those numbers have been ranked to more than 4,000.

We also found that the stone pillars in the same position are actually numbered the same.

For example, the stone pillars in the circle of one thousand are all numbered with one thousand.

Damn, these ancients, how much work has been done to carve out so many stone pillars.

"Brother Long, do you want to take a break?" Zhang Siqiao in the back said.

I looked back at her, and she wasn't very tired, because I didn't hear them panting there, but I was a little tired.

Brother Long glanced back at Zhang Siqiao, then his gaze stopped at me, and said, "Xiaowen, how do you feel?" ”

"Let's get out of here." I gritted my teeth, "It's too dangerous here, who knows what else will happen." ”

Brother Long nodded and said, "That's right, let's go." ”

The sound of "brushing" sounded again, and I felt that my scalp was suddenly rising, and these sounds indicated that there should be those huge insects around me, and there were quite a few of them.

I immediately became nervous, and the sound of Brother Long pulling the bolt of the gun pointed around.

It felt like the sounds were coming from all over and enveloping us.

"What should I do?" Lu Xiaodan glanced around, and now that the voice had resounded in all directions, he didn't know where to go.

Brother Long glanced at the front and said, "In this way, the three-person team acts, Xiaowen, you are in the middle, don't shoot easily, like Hu Shihong and I hit the head and rush over." ”

It's going to be desperate, but what does it mean for me not to shoot easily, for fear of accidentally injuring my own people? I'm also a little scared.

Brother Long didn't give us much time, we formed a group of three freely, and I was sandwiched between Zhang Siqiao and Lu Xiaodan.

"Rush." Brother Long gave an order, and the entire team immediately moved forward.

In the darkness, only a few flashlights shone around, and we could vaguely see that there were many shadows moving around, but they were a little far away from us.

Fortunately in the early stage, when I got to the back, I saw that the shadows were closer from both sides, and through the flashlight, I could see some of the shapes of those insects.

Brother Long still didn't shoot in front of him, in a state where people don't offend me, and I don't offend people.

But now the insects are much closer, and they don't look at us as if they don't have eyes.

Come to think of it, it's dark down here, even if they have eyes, it's useless, I think they rely on other ways to perceive things here, like the smell of blood or something.

And now our people should be bloodless, so for them, we don't exist at all.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of gunshots, not from our side, listening to this sound, there was a gunshot from a position some distance from us.

Brother Long in front immediately stopped, only to see that the insects around him also stopped.

"It's not good, find the stone pillar close to it, don't move." Brother Long shouted.

I immediately threw myself towards the stone pillar on the side, and when my body was attached to the stone pillar, I suddenly felt a gentle body directly against my body.

"Hey, there's someone here."

"I can't help it." The person in his arms said, it was Lu Xiaodan.

In the light of my flashlight, I saw a red shadow.

The sound of brushing around us immediately rang out, and countless black shadows brushed past the stone pillars around us, heading towards the place where the gunshots rang out.

Strangely, they shouldn't be listening to sounds, otherwise, they should be able to hear what we say.

Could it be that something is going on over there?

After waiting for a while, the surroundings slowly quieted down, and the insects should be far away.

I heard a slightly heavy breathing sound coming from my arms.

I went, and then I realized that there was another woman in my arms.

"Well, I'm sorry." I tried to dodge to the side, but there was a stone pillar behind me, and I couldn't move at all.

Lu Xiaodan just left my arms, and at that moment, I always felt as if I had lost something.

But it was only for a moment, and I didn't think about it anymore.

"Assemble, let's see if there are any fewer people?" Brother Long shouted.

Fortunately, all of us here flashed in time, and no one was lost. Brother Long breathed a sigh of relief.

"Keep going."

There were no insects around, and a few of us immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and after walking for I don't know how long, we suddenly felt a glimmer of light in front of us.

Turning the two stone pillars, the translucent feeling became even heavier.

"I'm going out." Brother Long shouted, and these words really inspired everyone.

We're all in good spirits.

"Be careful." Brother Hu poured cold water on the side, "The more you get to the end, the more careful you have to be." ”

Everyone nodded, it was their habit.

After walking for another five or six minutes, there were more and more bright lights, and the stone forest also felt that it was getting thinner and thinner, and we really had to figure it out.

With the appearance of the last stone pillar, several of us took a long breath, and after a long time of moving in the dark place below, we felt that the air was a little uncomfortable.

And once you come out, the first thing you can do is to get a breath of fresh air.

But a foul smell followed into our nostrils.

I'll go, it's too smelly, it's better than a certain kind of Changsha specialty.

"Corpse stench." After Brother Long shouted, he immediately took out a gas mask and put it on.

The smell of corpses is not terrible, the terrible thing is that if these corpses are parked for a long time, they may carry something bad, and if they are accidentally confected, it will be troublesome.

We also followed Brother Long's example, put on gas masks, and then looked ahead.

This time we were in front of a plant.

These plants are also quite large, about four meters tall, and the leaves are also very large, and the green is very pleasing to the eye.

About a dozen meters away, there is such a tree.

However, these trees do not make us feel a little life, on the contrary, they carry the smell of death.

Because we can clearly see that there are many grass insects trapped on the branches of those plants, and some of them are still very large, that is to say, the plants here eat these insects.

We all fought a cold war, no wonder we smell corpses, so many insect corpses are here, it's no wonder that there is no smell.

And some of the insects were clearly freshly caught and still shaking, while some were almost rotten.

"Shihong, what kind of plant is this?" Brother Long didn't ask me about this.

It's no wonder that this is not my major anymore, Zhang Shihong is a doctoral student, and he probably knows it.

"I'll go, how do I know, this is the first time I've seen this plant, but it seems to be some kind of carrion plant."

Carrion plants, according to Zhang Shihong, there are indeed some such plants in this world, such as our most common flyivore, which is this type.

But the plant is very small, and if something like a fly lands on its flowers and leaves, it will close it directly, trap the fly in it, and then secrete something to turn the fly into nutrients and then absorb it.

Recently, this plant has been sold in some places, and some children who like novelties often buy it and play with it.

But it's the first time I've seen such a big one.

Brother Long glanced back at us and said, "Prepare the fire bottle." ”

is worthy of being the captain, the reaction is fast, plants are such things, how can they also be afraid of fire, and the fire bottle gas tank is much easier to use here than a pistol.

"Shihong, can you study this thing and see what the situation is?"

"It's hard, and it's hard for us to figure out what this thing is like without an introduction." Zhang Shihong said.

"I have a way." I raised my hand, and everyone looked at me.

"Xiaowen, don't make trouble, this is not an institution, you can't use it, don't you plan to let people try it?"

"Brother Long, no, am I so like someone who can play with my brother's life?" I have a bitter face, Brother Long's words can be regarded as maintaining my image, after all, I am still the vice captain.

But as he said, this aspect is not my specialty, he is afraid that if I say something unreliable, it will affect my image in the hearts of my brothers.

He asked me a question, and when I objected, it also showed that my idea would not be so bad.

Brother Long thought for a moment and said, "Let's hear it, if it works, you can try it." ”

We first found a stone pillar to hide behind it, trying not to get close to the plants.

"That's right, those insects, I just thought about it, they shouldn't have sight, that is, they are gathering information here by other means."

"Smell?" Zhang Shihong reacted immediately, this guy is really smart.

I nodded, patted him, and said, "That's right, they didn't react when we stopped talking so loudly, which means that they are not auditory, and the smell is easy to explain, and why we encountered such a big insect in front of the car." ”

"The smell of blood." Zhang Shihong was the first to react.

"Wait, if we bleed, aren't those guys going to rush at us?" Lu Xiaodan said.

I first glanced at her, then looked at Zhang Siqiao, and said, "This is our clever method." ”

Zhang Siqiao was also stunned, then clapped his hands and said, "Plasma? ”
