Chapter 572: Searching for Traces
Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to check Special Police Officer Li's hat, and actually found a little mark on the hat that seemed to have been pricked by a needle.
Thankfully, the monster, as powerful as it was, couldn't pierce the special hat.
Gao Lingkai couldn't help but admire: "I saw you wearing a hat and never took it off, and said that you are not too hot, it turns out that this hat still has this benefit!" ”
"A lot of the equipment of the SWAT team members looks cumbersome, and it has a special effect!" I answered, and then asked Special Police Officer, "But why did this monster suddenly appear to attack you?" ”
"It's not meant to attack us, or we're afraid we might not be able to stop it!" Special Police Officer Li replied, while setting his eyes on Yu Qiuhang.
Yu Qiuhang was so frightened that he didn't slow down now, and the eyes of several of us were all projected on him, but his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Xiao Man suddenly sniffed and said, "I know, yesterday my senior brother went to buy two boxes of high-strength molasses cream that can lure wasps, and he must have opened one box!" ”
I sniffed it closely, and there was indeed a sweet smell in the air.
"yes!" Special Police Officer Li spoke again, "When Mr. Yu saw that you went to the ditch, he opened a box of something very fragrant, and I asked him what it was, and he said that it was to attract wasps." I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, a huge monster that looked like a wasp appeared out of nowhere, and the teacher fell to the ground in fright, and Xiao Jiang and I hurriedly protected him left and right and shot at the monster. ”
"What about the box of molasses? It won't be ...... Carried away by that monster, right? Xiao Man asked.
"I was indeed taken away by that monster! The monster didn't attack us in the first place, but just wanted to take the box of paste. It was Xiao Jiang who shot at the monster first, and the monster attacked us. It moved so fast that our two submachine guns fired it, but it didn't hit it, but it struck me on my hat. I was so frightened that I kicked the box of paste into the air, but I didn't expect the monster to catch the box of paste in mid-air. I quickly told Xiao Jiang to stop shooting, and watched the monster circle around us twice with a few long legs holding the box of cream, and when you ran up, it suddenly flew away! ”
I looked at the bullet casings scattered all over the place, and I couldn't help but be secretly horrified.
"Since you have it, why didn't you take it out sooner? Open it directly when you enter the mountain, and directly attract the monster out, so we don't have to go to the mountain! Gao Lingkai said.
"This is what my brother bought!" Xiao Man looked embarrassed and explained, "He originally wanted to take Qingsonggang to attract that monster out, but I think ...... We weren't sure that the monster was really a hornet mutation, but ...... This thing does have a strong attraction to the hornet, and I'm afraid that if I can't attract that thing, it will lead to a large group of wasps attacking, so I don't approve of his approach, and only say that I want to follow you. My brother had no choice but to put this thing in his bag and didn't make a sound. He argued with you just now, and he may not be comfortable, so he took advantage of our ditch to take out this thing again. ”
I can't help but be secretly glad that I didn't attract a large swarm of hornets, otherwise a large swarm of hornets would attack us, at least I think it would be more terrifying than a single monster.
“
If you have any secret weapons, just tell us not to do this kind of surprise attack again! I said.
"No, the others are all about guarding against wasps, and that's the only thing that attracts wasps!" Xiao Man said.
"Beware of hornets, so why didn't the teacher take it out just now?" Gao Lingkai asked again.
He knew that Yu Qiuhang must have been frightened as soon as he saw the kind of monster bigger than a pigeon, and he couldn't think of anything to guard against wasps, so he was deliberately mocking Yu Qiuhang.
But although Yu Qiuhang's face was not as pale as before, he was still stunned and didn't know if he heard Gao Lingkai's words.
"Do you still have that molasses? If there is, I hope I don't use it casually anymore, or it will attract a large swarm of wasps, which will be terrible! I said.
"I know, I'm so embarrassed!" Xiao Man said.
After all, she and Yu Qiuhang are the same door, even though she is a little tired of Yu Qiuhang, she still has to squat beside Yu Qiuhang, and say a few words to Yu Qiuhang in a soft voice.
I asked Special Officer Lee what the monster looked like.
Special Police Officer Li took a breath and said, "It's colorful, it's very bright!" But because it's so colorful, it looks even more creepy! Let's put it this way, you catch a hornet and magnify it thousands of times, that's what that monster looks like! ”
When Special Police Officer Li said this, Xiao Man also came over to listen, and I saw that her face tightened, as if she suddenly thought of something.
I hurriedly asked her if she had any ideas, Xiao Man smiled reluctantly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just ...... Suddenly I thought of a kind of monster depicted in the Book of Mountains and Seas! ”
I immediately understood what kind of monster she was talking about.
There are many monsters, or mythical beasts, depicted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and several of them are widely spread among Chinese folklore.
And the kind of monster that Xiao Man thought of should be called "Xuan Bee".
Gao Lingkai seemed to know nothing about the monsters on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and couldn't help but say, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? That's long enough, is there any monster that has been hidden in this forest since the era of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and has lived until now? ”
He said something very layman, I couldn't help laughing, and was about to explain to him, when Special Police Officer Li suddenly said: "Be quiet, what kind of sound are you listening to?" ”
In fact, at the same time that Special Police Officer Lee spoke, I already heard the voice. When we looked up, we saw a black cloud rolling over our heads.
But it was certainly not an ordinary dark cloud, because the height of the dark cloud would not be so low, and it would not make a "buzzing" sound.
"A swarm of hornets!" Xiao Man whispered in shock, "I should have been attracted by molasses!" ”
"If that's the case, then let's chase after us!" I said immediately.
Gao Lingkai couldn't help but glance at Yu Qiuhang again, and said, "It seems that Teacher Yu is not impossible!" ”
His words still carried some sarcasm, and it was impossible for Yu Qiuhang not to hear it.
However, Yu Qiuhang just moved his lips, and he didn't sneer at Gao Lingkai.
Seeing that Yu Qiuhang's face had not fully recovered, Special Police Officer Li instructed a particularly strong SWAT team member to support Yu Qiuhang, and several people in the group looked at the hornets in the sky and hurried towards the southwest
。
It's a pity that the forest along the road is deep and dense, and from time to time you have to go around thorns and ravines, so you can't see where the hornets have gone after walking far.
We had to sit down and rest and eat some dry food by the way.
After that, we checked the direction of the terrain and saw that Mt. Baektu was still directly ahead of us.
In other words, the direction in which the hornets flew just now should also be the direction of Baektu Mountain.
I discussed with Xiao Man and Yu Qiuhang, since we have lost our goal now, let's simply go in the direction of Baitou Mountain.
If we go to Baektu Mountain, we still can't find the reason for the genetic mutation of the humanoid monster and the wasp-like monster, then let's go back.
Yu Qiuhang didn't say a word, but Xiao Man nodded very happily and said, "This is the best!" With such a large forest, if we wander around aimlessly, we are likely to go around in circles! As you said, if you look at this Baektu Mountain, even if you don't find anything in the end, at least you have reached a fixed goal, and you won't be unwilling anymore! ”
I had the same idea as her, but Special Police Officer Li looked at Paektu Mountain and said, "I want to remind you that this mountain does not seem very far, but if you really have to walk to it, it will take at least two or three days to reach it." ”
"I'm okay with Colliers, I'm afraid that the two literati will not be physically exhausted!" Gao Lingkai smiled.
"You mean me?" Xiao Man glanced at Gao Lingkai with disgust, "Senior Brother Yu and I often climb mountains, and the last time we went to the Savage Valley to explore, it was also a large primeval forest, we stayed in it for more than a week, but we didn't feel exhausted!" ”
"Then it depends on the meaning of a few SWAT!" I said, looking at Special Police Officer Li and the others with a little apology, "I'm afraid it's going to be hard for a few special police brothers!" ”
"We're okay!" Special Police Officer Li said briskly, "We have all experienced wilderness survival training, and our mission this time is to protect the safety of several people, and naturally we will follow wherever they go." ”
"Then it's no problem, then let's continue in the direction of Baektu Mountain!" I made up my mind.
So several people continued to look in the direction of Mt. Paektu.
After walking a short distance, I saw a grass at the edge of a wood, full of wasps.
We were startled at first, but when we saw that the wasps were motionless, we looked closer and saw that all the wasps were dead, and many of them were broken, as if they had been chewed by some animal.
Moreover, these incomplete dead wasps are scattered over a large area, and the sweet smell can still be faintly smelled in the air, so it can be determined that these dead wasps are the swarm of wasps that we saw flying overhead in the morning.
As for what kind of monster they were chewed and chewed on, it was naturally obvious.
Xiao Man sighed: "There are many kinds of hornets that will prey on their own kind, and it seems that this wasp-like monster especially likes to feed on wasps!" ”
"But it also proves that we're in the right direction, so ...... Let's keep going! But be vigilant! Also, please don't shoot casually, the monster is moving too fast, instead of fighting it, it is better to keep quiet, maybe it won't attack casually! "I solemnly admonish.
