I nodded and said, "This is one of the factors, the black snake has already launched an attack both in the rock mud and on it, it has been bitten at least dozens of times, but it takes a certain amount of time for the toxin to spread, it is so big, it can't be attacked by snake venom so quickly." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Snake venom is indeed not so quick to cause death, I have experience in this." ”

Me: "......" His tone was as if being bitten by a snake was a precious experience. He then asked, "Isn't that snake venom, what could have caused it to die?" It's not going to die of old age. ”

"All living things are born and old age, sick and die, and it is not strange that even if they die of old age."

Stared at each other: "Is it really old and dead?" It's a coincidence, right, just a meter away from us? ”

I shook my head, "Coincidence is naturally a necessary factor, this newt should be the oldest we have seen in this ancient cave so far, its lifespan itself has reached the end of its life, but it will not die immediately." If this ancient cave had been safe and quiet, it might have been able to live for another year or two, but unfortunately, a group of people, namely us, not only disturbed its tranquility, but also destroyed the environment in which it lived, so that it had to let the creatures regenerate and operate, consuming the rest of its life. When the poison of the snake venom paralyzes its body, it hears a soothing sound, and the agitated cells in the body slowly calm down, and then go to death. ”

"So, the venom of the snake, the confrontation, and the rhythm you blow are the common factors in its death." He finally made a summary, but changed his tone and said, "Xiao Jiu, you have already guessed the reason for the production of these rock muds, right?" ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly, "Isn't it that the microbes originated from the cave newt?" ”

"That's right, we analyzed that the reason why the rock changes is because there are microorganisms in it, and these creatures maintain balance through the magnetic field induction between the spar and the ball in your hand, and when the balance is broken, the change begins. But I have never figured out the origin of this microorganism, if the founder of the ancient cave wants to protect this place through the newt and them, as you said before, but all living things will be born, old, sick and die, it is only a matter of time, the newt can maintain this balance through reproduction, what should this microorganism do? Will it also reproduce on its own? Obviously not, they rely on cave newts for their growth and maintenance. In other words, the two are interdependent. ”

Hearing that last sentence, I couldn't help but interrupt him: "How do you say this? How is it interdependent? ”

He smiled slightly, his face was visibly confident, "What do you think the cave newt will rely on to survive in this ancient cave?" ”

"You mean they create microbes and then eat them?"

One after another, his expression was choked, and he said, "Xiao Jiu, it's not as heavy as you." Microorganisms are the bacteria that thrive on these newts, and how do these bacteria spread to the layers of rock? The only way I can think of that is water vapor. The newt lives in the water, and the bacteria that grow in its body must also spread in the water, and one of the most common visions in this ancient cave is the rise of water vapor. In this way, it spreads everywhere, and finally attaches to the rocks and then penetrates inside, which goes through a complicated process. Survival of the fittest, when these microorganisms can be well combined and become a huge system, it can be considered to be truly effective. ”

With that, his gaze fell on the ball on the side. I immediately understood that when the so-called microbial giant system was formed, this ball was equivalent to the heart also formed, and it was actually the product of the microbial and rock induced by the magnetic field of the spar.

Moreover, the light emitted by the spar is dark green, the eyes of the newt who just died are also dark green, and my ball bead is also dark green, so it is impossible that there is no connection between the three. Either the hedron changes the ecological balance of the newt, or the newt breeds microorganisms and bacteria, and then the bacteria spread through the water vapor to the surrounding area, including the hedron, causing them to emit a faint green light.

And so on, the rocks under our feet, the stone walls around us, and the stone layers above our heads actually contain microorganisms. It's not just that there is a group system in a certain area, as previously thought. Then I also understood why the mud in the water is soft, but in the air it hardens, because the water is full of microorganisms and bacteria, and they can play a catalytic role in sensing each other.

Suddenly thought of something, just one after another whispered on the side, the two of them turned their eyes at the same time, only to see him pull an ugly smile and say, "Xiao Jiu, I seem to have drunk a lot of water in that pool just now......"

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to say that I drank it too, and I didn't think there was anything, but now after analyzing it like this, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be worms crawling in my stomach, and a feeling of nausea arose.

But the next sentence made people cry and laugh, he said: "Forget it, it should be a free nourishment, others can't ask for it." "I'm really speechless about him, but I'm pretty good at comforting myself.

It is because the crisis has been lifted that I have the intention of ridiculing and laughing at myself, but the shadow in my heart is still not gone. hasn't come to the end yet, this is just a danger encountered halfway, as if Sun Wukong's master and apprentice have a total of 9981 difficulties in learning scriptures from the West, one after another. The urgent message left by Brother Liang was: Save them! At this point, we haven't seen anyone show up.

As soon as they thought of this, their eyes were fixed on the quagmire in front of them at the same time, and the quagmire was dented due to the complete detachment of the newt. It was a little far away, and he couldn't see the specific situation inside the quagmire, so he took a deep breath and got up from the ground.

Although he knew that the newt in front of him was dead, he still felt nervous psychologically, and when he walked around it, he was on guard. I'm afraid that if I make a mistake in judgment before, it is only a temporary shock. When it reached the end of it, the breath that was holding it slowly overflowed, and it was already certain that it was really dead. Because I have been listening intently for such a short period of time, the life characteristics of animals are not only breathing, but also heartbeat, pulse, and even body parts will move, and as long as there is movement, it will produce sound.

From front to back, I didn't hear a single syllable, which couldn't have happened even in a state of shock, so it was really dead. Because of its extremely long body, it rushed out of the quagmire for nearly twenty meters, and its tail still hung down in the pool.

When I got closer, I saw that the mud had sunk about a meter from the ground, and the strange thing was that the black snakes didn't know why, all of them were floating on the surface of the mud, some were lying there in their entirety, and some of them had their heads coming out, but it was the same result: death. Not to mention the innumerable, at least there are dozens of them, and the scene can be described as weird and gloomy.

The stones under my feet splashed into the pool, rolling on the mud layer for a distance before stopping, I looked at each other one after another, the mud has hardened? Possessed and picked up a hard stone and threw it in, not only did it not sink, but even bounced, which shows the degree of hardening. It's too fast, turn your head to look at the still, is it because of it?

Originally, this place was an ordinary rocky ground, but because of its arrival, it became a rock mud pool, and it should have stored a lot of water in its body, and when it drilled out, it also took away the water, so that the rock mud was exposed to the air, but we talked about it, and the rock mud turned back into rock, leaving only the traces of the newt that had been there, a pool.

I frowned one after another, with a sad look in my eyes, and said, "Probably not, if they are buried underneath, they will definitely leave some traces, you see that there are no around." Although this reason is not very convincing, I don't think that the madman, Han Dongling and others will be buried underground.

But he listened one after another: "Naturally, they won't be in there, I'm just wondering what is the purpose of this snake exorcist?" ”

I was slightly stunned, was he thinking about this?

"Xiao Jiu, it was actually these snakes that saved you. It was their sudden movement under the mud that disturbed the newt and caused it to emerge from the mud layer. After that, the serpents attracted its attention even more, and if it attacked us as soon as it came out of the mud, I am afraid that all the analysis just now would be in vain, and even if it would also die, it would be after us. ”

I have put the words in my head, and I must admit that the order is indeed like this. Not without self-deprecation, he said, "Then I seem to have been blessed by misfortune." He turned his head to look at me one after another, his eyes inexplicably deep.

Thinking that he was going to say something, he bent down and jumped into the pool. I was taken aback, I was already a step too slow to reach out and grab it, and my fingertips only touched the piece of his clothes, and his person was already standing underneath, and asked in a hurry, "What are you doing?" ”

He replied without raising his head: "Try this hardness, it should be hard enough to leave." Xiao Jiu, you wait here, I'll take a look back and forth first. After saying that, he stepped forward, and jumped down without thinking about it, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head, "Didn't you wait a minute, what's the hurry?" ”

I walked up to him angrily and put my hand around the crook of his arm, "Can you discuss with me what you want to do first?" When yourself or before? Now it's a sick seedling, if you want to try it, try it together, and respond in time if there is any accident. ”

"But ......"

"One after another," I accentuated, "when did you become such a mother-in-law?" The sound of grinding his teeth came, but it also managed to silence him. The two of them walked very slowly, and every time they went out, they first measured their softness and hardness before getting off, and they had to bypass the position of the black-skinned snake, and after all, they didn't feel good when they stepped on the snake, and finally went to the other end, and there was no more sagging.

After climbing ashore and looking back, the darkness was deep, and only the black shadow of the newt could be seen, and the quagmire that I had just walked through was like a sinkhole, all of which were gloomy.
