Chapter 42: The Burial of Bones
Xuanzang nodded, but that was a long time ago. "It seems that this clear blue color is probably the result of calcification of water. Because the water contains a large number of metal ions, the suspended solids are easy to precipitate, and there are basically no animals that can survive in it. It's useless to say so much, Xuanzang felt that it was better to explain simply, so he added, "In other words, if people drink this water, they will be poisoned." ”
Shenfang looked thoughtfully at the eagle sorrowful stream, while Xuanzang was observing his expression.
Did he really not know? So what's in this brain? This should be considered basic knowledge, and it is also useful for surviving in the wild, but Shenfang doesn't know it......
At this time, Wei Chigong said: "Master, don't listen to his nonsense. This kid has the most things to do, and he can't get used to anything. The last time he had a blood transfusion, he ...... "Halfway through, he felt that something was wrong, and he stopped talking."
"Did I say it wrong last time? Later, Hu Hongdao did have an accident because he did not do a blood transfusion. Xuanzang asked rhetorically.
"Who knows if the Hong Dao brothers are because of blood transfusions, or because someone is making trouble." Yuan Ce said coldly.
Wei Chigong also glared at Xuanzang fiercely and said, "That's right." This Xuanzang is always funny, every time he says something is normal and there is a problem, but it really goes wrong. ”
Xuanzang couldn't cry or laugh, and spread his hands and said: "I said that you can't do that, you want to do it, isn't it because you caused the problem?" Blame me? ”
Wei Chigong said: "Hmph! Don't think we've forgotten. When you thought that the master had been eaten by the snake demon, you were the first to jump out and encourage everyone to disperse. You looked listless all the way, and it can be seen that you have no enthusiasm for learning from the experience, and you have no sense of responsibility. ”
"If you don't want to come, just leave. Why drag us back, and secretly make stumbling blocks, trying to harm us to learn from the experience! Yuan Ce said, having opened the pistol insurance.
It turns out that you see me like this, and it's not far from what I really thought. I wanted to go, but I couldn't.
Xuanzang bent the corners of his mouth slightly, his tone calmed down, and said, "You have to have evidence for what you say." There are already few people in this team, and if there is a conflict within us, we don't even want to go to the west. ”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Fang, and the latter really came over to persuade peace. Shenfang is the best at calming people's hearts, and it will calm down the two of them in a few words, and it is still very convenient to have such a person here.
"In my opinion, it is better to find an animal nearby and try it. We are not short of water now, and we are not in a hurry to do so. After Shen Fang temporarily suppressed the dispute, he said, "It just so happens that the terrain of this place is relatively flat, there is a water source, and the view is quite open, which is suitable for camping." Let's rest here for a few days, everyone is tired. ”
So Xuanzang and Yuan Ce went out hunting together, and let Wei Chigong stay where he was to help Shenfang guard the camp.
"I don't know why you have such a big opinion of me. I'm telling the truth, why bother so much trying to catch a beast alive. Xuanzang looked at Yuan Ce, who had set up the trap, and couldn't help but say. They really obey God's words. It's only calcified water, not venom, so I don't know how long I'll have to wait to see the effect.
Yuan Ce didn't want to speak, and didn't even look at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang was helpless, hunting was not his forte, so he had to pick up the infrared radar to help observe. However, after a long time, there were still only four of them on it, and nothing else.
The two went to several locations but found nothing. But Xuanzang became more and more strange about the surrounding environment, patted Yuan Ce, and prompted: "Don't you think there are a lot of bones on the ground?" ”
Even Yuan Ce, who was unwilling to deal with Xuanzang, had to face this fact seriously at this time, because he himself had discovered this.
No matter which direction you go, you can find bones half-exposed on the ground. As if they had been deliberately collected, the bones were half buried in the ground, half protruding from the ground, and placed in a small area to form an indescribable pattern.
The two of them have seen several such places, and if they look closely, they will feel that there is some kind of inexplicable pattern in their arrangement, and it seems that they have been classified, but they don't know what the criteria for classification are.
"It must have been placed on purpose." Yuan Ce squatted on the ground and examined a few bones, and speculated, "I haven't seen many animals, but I can basically tell that these bones come from many different kinds of animals, including humans." It seems that the same category is also divided by age. It's hard to imagine what it did. ”
But then he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, observed it for a moment, and his face became ugly, and said, "There are no traces of the beast's activity around, and these bones seem to have been moved out of thin air, otherwise there should be traces of carrying." And the monster that ate so much left no signs of existence. ”
Everything in front of them was so weird that they looked at each other, and they both saw a strong uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Is it a ghostly monster with a penchant for collecting bones, or a curse that attracts all kinds of animals to sacrifice? In either case, it is not optimistic, because they have already broken into this terrible burial ground.
"Gotta hurry up and go back and tell them." Xuanzang said. Then he paused for a moment, looking down at the Wasteland Assistant.
Yuan Ce was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
"Alarm for the Geiger counter." Xuanzang looked at the reading above that suddenly soared and said.
Hearing this, Yuan Ce also began to check on his wasteland assistant and found the same phenomenon. He speculated, "Oh no, it could be a mutated beast with strong radiation." ”
Xuanzang shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the infrared radar in his other hand, there was no new target on it. The detection range of the radar and the Geiger counter is similar, and if it is a radioactive organism, there is no reason for such a difference. And the amount of radiation was so high that he had never seen a living creature withstand it.
After a few seconds, both of them were surprised to see that the count of the Geiger counter instantly dropped back to normal levels.
", what the hell is it!" Yuan Ce scolded nervously.
The strange placement of the bones and the abnormal reaction of the instruments indicate that some mysterious and terrifying monster is hiding around them, ready to pounce from the shadows at any moment.
Xuanzang suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and quickly raised the gun, but he couldn't press the trigger for a long time.
The monster has appeared, but its appearance is very unexpected.
It was a beautiful and amazing girl.
She was untouched, her bumpy body was tightly pressed against Yuan Ce's back, her white and tender arms were wrapped around his waist, and she shook her head gently at Xuanzang, who pointed at her with a gun.
The ambiguous posture could not make Yuan Ce have any evil thoughts, and in the face of this girl who appeared out of thin air, he only had fear in his heart. Because he could feel the slender palm that was clutching his skull, and there was an extremely unreasonable pressure coming from it.
Xuanzang hesitated for a few seconds, and said cautiously: "Girl, you ......"
"I didn't want to negotiate with you. I just don't want you to shoot your companion by mistake. The girl smiled evilly, "Then I won't be able to kill him myself." ”
After speaking, with a strong hand, he pinched Yuan Ce's head.
