Chapter 166: Monitor Lizard

it!

It's a lizard!

It's a scary-big lizard!

A spirit immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and I put the telescope back up to look at it, and this time, I saw the long head like a snake spitting out letters at us!

I'll go to your second uncle's!

Seeing this, I took a step back, and then smiled bitterly at the two ancestors beside me who had nothing to do.

"What's that?" Seeing me like this, Chubby was very puzzled, I waved my hand to signal him not to ask more, and then stuffed the binoculars in my hand to him.

Xiaopang took it and looked at it for a long time, then turned around silently, the corners of his mouth twitched and asked me again, the words were still the same sentence, but this time the expression was more exciting than just now: "Then what is that?" ”

"Lizard." Wipe the beads of sweat from your forehead, I said.

"How big can a lizard grow?" Chubby said, grinning rather speechless.

"Of course, normal lizards can't grow that big, but monitor lizards can be slightly larger, and the legendary Komodo dragon is an example, and it is said that adult monitor lizards can grow up to three meters in length." Try to stay calm, I said.

"Do they eat people, then?" With a grunt in his throat, Chubby looked back at the "old lady" who was standing there motionless.

"I said they don't eat people, do you believe it?" Pointing to the white bones under my feet, I grinned, and when I saw Chubby's desperate face, I said to him again: "Generally speaking, lizards don't eat people, they only eat small animals and some rotten meat, but look at it, such a big lizard!" If it doesn't eat people, it won't live so much! Look at this, this, and this, how do you think these people died? Also, whose saliva is all over the ground? Don't say there's something else to spit on here. ”

"Damn, don't be! What should we do now? Xiao Fat said, pulling the ninth master back, at this time the ninth master also took the telescope and looked at the old man for a long time, he put down the things in his hand, turned around, and then said to us very calmly: "Oh, there is such a big lizard, it's really eye-opening." ”

Seeing that he wasn't flustered, I wondered: "Ninth Master, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”

"Nope." When the Ninth Master heard this, he shook his head innocently.

"So, can you beat it?" Looking at the tall figure with five hundred pounds, I asked him again.

"I can't beat it." Shaking his head, the ninth master said again.

This time, he said it with certainty, without any hesitation.

"Oh" I looked at Xiaopang at each other, and then shook my head and said frankly: "In this case, let's withdraw, while it hasn't moved, let's go back and forth from where." ”

"Makes sense." Chubby said, and took the flashlight to shine on the monitor lizard on the other side of the river. At this time, the monitor lizard still stood there like a hunchbacked old lady, motionless, and if I had not seen the long letter, I might have thought it was a statue.

"Why doesn't he move?" He didn't say anything all the time, and when he was leaving, the ninth master suddenly looked very confused.

"I'm waiting for someone." I don't want to, I said.

But as soon as these words came out, I regretted it, because before the words had fallen, there was a sudden "pop" sound behind me, followed by a low roar of "snoring", the slightly shaking ground, the huge momentum approaching step by step, and the disturbing fishy smell

What's the situation?

Am I a crow's mouth?

With cold air running through the back of our necks, the three of us looked away from the monitor lizard on the other side. Turning his head slowly, the beam of the flashlight showed the behemoth holding a half-corpse in its mouth staring straight at us.

The yellow eyes were shining with a thief's light, and a straight black pupil was tightly wrapped in the yellow-green scales around it

As soon as it lowered its head, it put the inhuman-shaped corpse on the ground, spit out the long letter, and quickly put it back, and when I saw the corpse that could not be regarded as a corpse, I was stunned, judging from the skin color of the corpse, this bloody guy was very likely to be the northeastern man who talked to us in the stone wall.

Well, it turned out to be it

Quietly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, my hands and feet trembled a little, trying to calm my mood, I thought about it carefully, and this pondering quickly figured out something.

Along the way, we walked very carefully, but in the dark environment we ignored the many forks in the road in the cracks in the mountains, and we preconceived about the most spacious roads to walk, forgetting that this thing was probably hiding in a corner and eating something for itself. We only noticed the skeleton all over the ground and the guy standing on the other side, but we forgot that there wasn't necessarily just one such animal.

Careless.

It's really careless.

I've always liked the art of war, and I never thought that the primate with the highest IQ would be dumpled by two monitor lizards in such a dark stone tunnel!

By the way, what are these two?

As far as I know, there are many kinds of monitor lizards, among which the Komodo dragon is larger, and I have seen the Komodo dragon on TV, and there are many similarities in their body shape, but the color of that thing is much more simple than the one in front of me, and it is generally gray and abrupt.

These two are different, they have a strange markings similar to those on pit vipers, and the colors are not rich but the combination is very fancy. Intuitively, this thing is poisonous. It is common sense that the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. But if a behemoth with a length of more than three meters and a weight of more than 500 pounds is also highly poisonous, then isn't this thing a bit against the sky?

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, do powerful beings like them still need a toxin to protect them?

I don't think so.

Don't say that in the depths of this mountain, even if it is placed in the primeval jungle of the Amazon, guys like them have no natural predators! Alligator? Python? Tiger? Lion? Black bear? Don't make a fuss, compared to the two "reptiles" in front of you who don't know how many years they have lived, those guys are simply weak.

Thinking of this, I said to the Ninth Master in despair: "What I saw just now is this one. ”

"Are you sure?" When the Ninth Master heard this, he was very untimely and suspicious.

"I know for sure. I recognize the eyes, and, if you look at the corpse, on the surface, the corpse is still fresh, and people who have been dead for a long time don't have that much blood. As I spoke, I took my flashlight and shone it on the monitor lizard's face.
