Chapter 640: A Worm That Speaks Human Words
Li Sichen didn't respond, just raised a flashlight and looked around, trying to find out the person or thing hiding in the shadows and pretending to be a ghost.
After looking around, Li Sichen suddenly saw the tip of the stalactite hanging down next to him, and shook it slightly.
If it was the first time to witness this scene, Li Sichen might have thought that he was dazzled. But he had seen a similar scene before, and even if he was dazzled, it was impossible to be dazzled continuously!
Did the wind blow the stone tip?
Equally impossible!
Not to mention that in this cave, there is no wind at all. Even if there were, it would be impossible to blow the tip of the stalactite!
This stalactite...... No, to be precise, it's the tip of this stalactite, it's very problematic!
Li Sichen rushed forward with one arrow step.
"Idol, where are you going?" Gao Jin was startled by his sudden move, and after reacting to catch up, Li Sichen had already reached out and grabbed the tip of the stalactite.
"What is this doing?" Gao Jin looked inexplicable, and couldn't help but guess at the bad thing: "Ahh
Gao Jin hurriedly shouted: "Don't do stupid things!" stretched out his hand to drag Li Sichen.
Before his hand touched Li Sichen, a strange scene appeared.
The tip of the stalactite actually spread a pair of wings, and it was about to fly away with a 'whin' flapping.
What's going on?
Why do stones still grow wings and can fly?
This Nima can't be learned!
Gao Jin was stunned.
Li Sichen seemed to have expected this to happen, and the speed of his hand reached out a little faster in an instant, and he grabbed the 'stone tip' that had grown wings and was about to fly. And so, something even weirder happened. As soon as this 'stone tip' fell into Li Sichen's hand, it immediately changed and became a finger.
At first glance, this 'finger' is completely like it grows on Li Sichen's palm, and it is not obtrusive at all. Only when you look closely can you see that this 'finger' has eyes, a mouth, and a foot......
"Is this a bug, a bug with mimicry skills?" Gao Jin was surprised.
He's seen a lot of mimicry animals, chameleons and everything. However, I have never seen an animal that can play with mimicry to the point where it is perfect, what you get close to can become something in an instant, and it can also be so vivid that it can be fake.
"This is a mirage!" Li Sichen stared at the insect in his hand and said: "In the "Shu Dizhi", there is a description of the mirage, saying that it is **** damp and cold, and can change its appearance according to the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of hiding. It is also capable of mimicking the sounds of people and beasts, and often uses this skill to trick people, scare them to death, kill them, and then burrow into human corpses to feed on flesh and blood. This strange insect has long been extinct, but I didn't expect it to exist in this tomb of the King of Shu. ”
"What do you mean, the cry for help just now was tossed by this mirage?" Gao Jin opened his mouth wide, not quite convinced.
"Why, don't believe me? I'll let it be called to you. Li Sichen grabbed the mirage's hand and squeezed it hard. The mirage was in pain, and immediately rubbed its hind feet in the lower abdomen, and suddenly a human voice came out: "Help...... Help......"
Gao Jin, who was eye-opening, was amazed: "Hey, this finger-sized insect can really speak human words." It seems that the cries for help we heard just now, and the strange voice that imitated my speech in the first place, must have been caused by it. Not...... Listening carefully, it is not difficult to find that the sound made by this mirage is very jerky and stiff, and it is still very different from real human words, even worse than starlings. ”
Li Sichen explained: "Because the mirage doesn't really speak, it just rubs its hind feet against the abdominal acoustic apparatus to make a sound similar to human speech. And the sound it makes must be something I've heard before. At the same time, all it can imitate is a few simple words or short words. A little more words, and it won't be able to imitate. ”
"I see. Gao Jin nodded suddenly and said with great admiration: "Idol, you know so much." What kind of mirage is this, I have never even heard of it, and you can actually talk about the Tao. ”
"Actually, I made up all the words before. Li Sichen said with a serious expression.
"Huh, made up?" Gao Jin was stunned and asked blankly, "Impossible, right?"
Li Sichen couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Okay, I'm not kidding you." In fact, these things can be understood as long as you read more books. On weekdays, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to read. ”
"I'll just say, how can you say that you can make it so decent. Gao Jin also laughed, and the originally tense and dull atmosphere was instantly diluted a lot. But soon, he frowned again and said, "Idol, you just said that the sound made by the mirage is all imitating the human words it once heard? So, it makes a cry for help because someone has called for help here before and it has heard it? It seems that most of the archaeological team that came down before us encountered an accident. ”
"It's possible. Li Sichen nodded: "Let's go, let's continue to walk forward and see if we can meet the people of the archaeological team and give them some help." ”
Li Sichen was not worried about meeting people from the archaeological team, anyway, he didn't come to the tomb of King Shu for those burial goods. As long as he can find some intelligence clues related to his parents, he can do without anything else.
As a tomb robber, Gao Jin is a person who doesn't want to meet the archaeological team from the heart. But Li Sichen spoke, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and continue to walk in front to lead the way.
At the same time, the mirage that was caught in Li Sichen's hands suddenly changed its body shape after some fruitless struggle, no longer mimicking, but directly showing its original form. Its tail was raised sideways, and a brown, slender poisonous needle emerged from it, and it was about to pierce Li Sichen's hand. The mouth also split into five petals in an instant, each of which was covered with sharp fangs, which was very terrifying and terrifying.
The mirage's poisonous needle can only be used once, and it will die if it is used, so it generally will not be used, and it will only be used to fight for both sides when it is absolutely disadvantaged!
At this moment, the mirage is going to fight hard with Li Sichen!
At the same time, a high-pitched chirp came from the sound apparatus in the mirage's abdomen, causing pain in the ears of startled people, and resounded throughout the cave......
