I saw that Ma Yan's reaction was a little wrong, and I hurriedly asked, "Old Ma, what's the matter...... Is this mountain weird? ”

Ma Tan looked at me and said, "Li Yang, if that Nanliu Village is really in this Qiyang Mountain, I advise you not to go." Don't ask me why. ”

Ma Yan's expression looked very strange, I think he must have been to Qiyang Mountain, and he had experienced something else in Qiyang Mountain. Otherwise, I can't mention Qiyang Mountain, his expression changes so much.

And since I have experienced so many trips to the murderous house with my third uncle, although I haven't learned much, my ability to resist attacks is still much stronger. Ma Yan's words did not scare me, but aroused my curiosity even more.

I poured a full bottle of wine for Ma Tan, pulled him to sit in front of the map, and said, "Old Ma, you can't say half a word, you have to tell me what's going on in Qiyang Mountain." Now that I've been set up by the third uncle, I can't turn back at all. I'm counting on you to give me ideas. ”

Ma Tan took a sip of the wine glass, clicked his lips, and scolded: "You, the third uncle, are just an old fool." If you die, you will die, how can you push your nephew into the fire pit. I see, sooner or later, your kid will die at the hands of your third uncle, and I don't even bother to talk about him. ”

I hurriedly echoed: "That's right, I have already seen this Li Dagang, and he is not from our Li family at all." I can't figure out that he was adopted, or I was adopted, and we are definitely not related by blood. ”

I sat down with Professor Strange, drank two glasses of wine together, and scolded the third uncle for a while, Lao Ma's expression became serious again, and he said to me earnestly: "Yangzi." I've been to this Qiyang Mountain. At that time, there was also a small team, and the mission was to find a more peculiar local animal, which is said to be only available in Qiyang Mountain. ”

"What kind of animal? Isn't that a rare animal? ”

Professor Strange got up, took out a picture book from the bookshelf next to him, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to one of the pages to show me.

I saw that there was an animal drawn on that page, but it was not printed, it looked like it was drawn by hand. At the same time, there is a blurry photo next to it, which is all grass and trees.

The animal was weird, I've never seen it before. It looks like a combination of a snake and a centipede. It has a round head and a slender tail like a snake, but there are a lot of limbs distributed on the body, and there are many dense thin feet, and the image looks terrifying.

On the top of the picture, there are two words: Dijiao.

I asked, "Old horse, this animal is called Dijiao?" ”

Ma Jian nodded: "It's the name I gave." I don't know exactly what it's called, but we're there to find this creature. The photo was provided to us by a local villager, but it was not clear. You look closely and see if you can see it? ”

I stared at the photograph and made sure that my eyes were dazzled and I finally found a little shadow of the animal in the grass inside. It's about the same as the silhouette in the picture, but it's hard to see it if it's a little thinner.

I asked Ma Yan: "Could it be that the Qiyang Mountain is terrible because of this animal?" Is it toxic? ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "Not really."

Such. We people often go to the mountains, even if it is poisonous, we are not afraid, we carry the best antidote, and there are precautions. I said that Qiyang Mountain is terrible, or is it because it is ...... there"

Ma Jian said, wiping his forehead with his hand, the old man actually broke out in a cold sweat.

Ma Tan poured another half glass of liquor, picked up the wine glass and poured it into it. Ma Yan's alcohol consumption was not good, and after drinking a few big sips in a row, he was already a little out of breath.

I hurriedly stopped him: "Old horse, it's almost there, don't drink it." ”

Ma Jian nodded, his face flushed, and his complexion seemed to be better than just now.

He sat down and reminisced as he told me about their trip to Qiyang Mountain.

For the sake of convenience, I will tell in the tone of Ma Tan:

It was almost three years ago that our school received a project to study this unnamed creature. It is highly probable that this creature was of paleontological age and has survived to this day. In the area of Qiyang Mountain, its whereabouts have been discovered, but there is no information. The school attaches great importance to it and has set up a special investigation team headed by me.

However, this kind of research has not yet been officially reported to the state, so it is not appropriate to have too many personnel and not to make a big splash. So the group members identified four people, I was the team leader, and another one named Xing Mo was an assistant of mine. In addition, there is a man and a woman, the male is called Zhou Zheng, and the female is called Wen Youyou. They are all graduate students I have taken. After we were ready, we set off for Qiyang Mountain.

In retrospect, we weren't prepared enough and didn't think enough about the dangers. Because of our configuration, we have been to many places in the country and even in the world, and have achieved good results. This time we thought it would be simple.

All we had was a sketch map showing the approximate range of the animal, and we didn't know anything else.

We took the train, then the car, and the horse-drawn carriage, and spent a whole day to get to the Qiyang Mountain area.

According to the description of the only little information in our hands, we drew a sketch of this animal, which is the one in this album, and for convenience, I named it Dijiao. We showed the pictures of the earth Jiao to the local mountain people, and after those mountain people saw it, some of them said they had seen this animal, and most of them said they had never seen it. But when they heard that we were going to enter the Qiyang Mountain, they all stopped us in unison, but they refused to explain the reason.

And when they mentioned Zhuyang Mountain, their faces were very bad, as if there was hell and a ghost cave in the Qiyang Mountain.

But we came with a mission, how could we go home without even entering the mountain. I know that this Qiyang Mountain is not very high, the mountain is not very complicated, and the geographical danger factor is not very high. The reason why those mountain people talk about the change of mountain color is probably related to the mountain spirits and ghosts.

But in our group, apart from me, a few others don't believe in ghosts. So after a short period of deliberation, we went into the mountain without hesitation.

My assistant Xing Mo is a good outdoorsman and often conducts wilderness survival training, so it is not difficult for him to enter the mountains. Zhou Zheng and Wen Youyou are my students and a couple, and they too

I've been to a lot of places with me, and the experience is not a problem. Once we entered the mountain, the scenery in the mountain was very pleasant, and since it was still undeveloped, there were many natural attractions that were breathtaking.

After entering the mountain, we walked for a long time, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the scenery in the mountain.

But we don't know that danger is approaching us......
