Chapter 18: A Surprising Discovery
"Why the hell?"
Stern felt sick and a little impatient when he looked at the corpse, especially in such an environment, he really didn't have the extra mind to study these dead corpses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He just wanted to get rid of the hidden killer and get out of here. So he walked over to the pile of corpses to look at the source of the parasitic roots, not intending to participate in the discussion.
Anne thought for a moment and expressed her opinion on the question: "Professor, does that mean that there is some special environment here that prevents the spoilage bacteria from working?" As far as I know, the reason for this is that there is an environment that is not conducive to the decomposition of spoilage bacteria, such as low temperatures, dryness, or the presence of chemicals in corpses that are not conducive to the growth of bacteria......
"Hey, scientists, look! What did I find?"
The professor and Anne stopped discussing and looked at Stern, only to see that when he was looking through the "abnormal" bones and whether they were parasitized by the roots, he actually found rusty old rifles, pistols in wallets, military kettles, binoculars and other equipment of the French field army of World War II.
"The equipment shows that the bones are from the same French soldiers as the three dead bodies from more than 20 years ago, maybe they are the same team," Stern said. But I found no trace of the parasitic roots on the bones. ”
At the same time, Stern saw a bulging canvas bag. The appearance of the canvas bag was in tatters, but he knew that this kind of military canvas bag was quite durable, and it was estimated that the contents were still well preserved. So he took out a thick diary from his canvas bag, and after reading a few pages, he saw that it was all written in French, and Stern did not understand French, so he handed it to Professor Morrill. Professor Morrill took the notebook and at first flipped through a few pages, thinking that most of it was an officer's marching affairs in the army or something. But as he flipped further back, he found that some of the contents recorded in it made him so excited that he couldn't wait to read them all in one go.
"Professor, what's written on that?"
Anne noticed that the professor's expression was wrong, and presumably saw some key clue, so she asked him.
The professor excitedly asked himself, "Do you know why this small group of French soldiers is here?" Unexpectedly, their target was actually looking for the Devaraja monk Sarabura! And... And more importantly, they have so much more information than we do......"
"Oh my God! Someone knew about the existence of Samsara City before us! So what is their purpose in finding the city of reincarnation? ”
Anne was shocked by what the professor said, but she didn't expect that these French soldiers from World War II were actually coming for this reincarnation city.
According to the above records, their mission was to find a temple built during the Angkorian period in the city of Samsara that held the treasure of the Brahmins! I suspect that the temple is the same as the one engraved on the relief! ”
"Hey! Scientists! Can we think about anything else besides the treasure temple? Stern finished and pointed to the mountain of bones next to him.
Anne instantly understood what Stern was referring to, he must have felt that this place was too close to the creepy pile of bones, and the fact that these soldiers died here for no apparent reason showed that there was a potential danger here, and who knew if the parasite would also suddenly come out and attack them.
So Anne suggested that the professor leave the grass first and go to the location where the dead bodies were tied before, and Stern did not find the bones parasitized by the roots, and what was even more strange was that the three roots seemed to hide in the pile of bones when they arrived at this location, and the mountains of bones gave Stern an inexplicable creepy feeling. So he was very much in favor of leaving here first, and the three of them left the pile of bones together and walked towards the dead corpses.
But at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came out from the front without warning, tearing at their eardrums, and the three of them thought to themselves after hearing this voice, could it be that they had fallen into the parasitic plant's plan to get out of the mountain, and Kansa and Donnie might be in danger!
They immediately trotted to the three corpses not far away to see what was going on, but found that there was nothing unusual except for the bodies of the corpses that were still slowly squirming in place, and Kansa was still waiting for them not far away. Stern felt that it was very dangerous to keep these dead corpses that were strangely manipulated by the roots, so he took the mountain knife and slashed down, the roots of the tree were suddenly broken in two, and a large amount of crimson liquid flowed out, and the three dead corpses also seemed to lose their support and never moved again.
But at this moment, the shrill cry suddenly sounded from behind the root of the dead body, and this time Stern's nerves that had just loosened were forced to tense again, and he wondered what was going on with this sound, could it be made by another unknown creature?
He looked at the roots of the tree that were still dripping with red liquid on the ground, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, and he immediately turned to look at the place where he had killed the giant eye monster snake, and it was empty—the corpse of the monster snake that had been shot in the head and torn apart by him was gone! At the same time, he saw a miserable white "eyeball" standing up in the grass not far away, facing him and letting out that seeping scream!
Stern chuckled inwardly, wondering how the Giant Eyed Serpent had come back to life! Stern knew that this strange snake must be a bad person, so he did not hesitate to raise his gun and aim at the "eyeball" to prepare for a preemptive strike, but at this moment, Anne from behind shouted at him: "Sergeant, watch out for you!" Get out of the way! ”
However, all this happened so quickly, and before Stern could dodge, he felt a strip fall from the sky on his shoulder, and the object quickly wrapped his neck around his neck with a rough and cold touch body, and when Stern reacted and wanted to tear the thing apart, a magnified white "eyeball" suddenly appeared in front of his eyes! You don't have to think about it to know it's a giant eyed snake! Stern subconsciously immediately dropped the weapon in his hand, grabbed the head and neck of the strange snake with his hand and wanted to pull it away, but he didn't expect the strange snake to immediately increase the force around its neck, making Stern almost out of breath, and somehow the head of the strange snake slowly turned dark red, and it swelled even more, which was particularly scary! Stern was getting tighter and tighter by the giant snake, his face was already red, and the more he pulled the strange snake with his hand, the more powerful it became, but the dark red head was still approaching Stern's mouth little by little, as if it wanted to get into his mouth! He had no choice but to use all his strength to call for help......
When Anne saw the strange snake falling from the sky, she immediately warned Stern to dodge, but at that moment, she noticed that countless white "eyeball" strange snakes were also pouring out from the ground and behind the roots of the trees, and they were rapidly approaching them. Seeing that the situation was critical, Anne ignored Stern, first forced the strange snakes back with a gun, and then shouted at Kansa in the distance to come to Stern's rescue. The scene was chaotic, one after another giant eye snakes were shot by Annie, splashing a large amount of scarlet liquid, and a strange fragrance filled the air.
The Professor's situation was not optimistic, he was forced to a board by a giant eye snake, and he could only scare the snake with his knife and stop it from advancing......
At this moment, Kansa, who was in the distance, heard a continuous sense that the situation was not good, and heard Annie's cries for help, and hurried over to help Stern, who had been entangled in the strange snake and couldn't breathe.
At this time, Stern was still resisting the red monster snake to the death, he only felt that he was gradually suffocating, and he was unable to exert more and more force, but he still grabbed the head of the monster snake and did not let him get closer. The strange snake didn't know if it felt like it couldn't get close to Stern's mouth, the dark red head actually grew bigger and bigger, and then the head suddenly split into eight petals, each of which was still connected to countless red filaments like torn worms. What's even more terrifying is that a slender blood-colored tongue suddenly popped out of the middle, squirming with a smell of blood, and drilled into Stern's front door!
When Stern saw the terrible scene in front of him, he had a terrified expression on his face, and cold sweat broke out on his body. But his instinct made him even more powerful and ripped off the terrifying snake. At this stalemate, Kansa rushed to Stern, and slashed the head of the strange snake in half with a skillful knife technique, and the dark red blood sprayed all over Stern's face, Stern was finally liberated, and he didn't care about wiping the red liquid off his face, he immediately pulled the terrifying red snake's head off his neck with all his strength with Kansa's help, and at the same time collapsed and knelt on the ground due to lack of oxygen and gasped for breath.
On the other hand, Anne noticed that Kansa had helped Stern out of danger, and immediately summoned the professor and Stern to flee from here, because she saw at a glance that there were countless miserable white "eyeballs" erected in the entire Pangen labyrinth area, and there were too many of them, so she was afraid that she would be swallowed up by these giant-eyed snakes.
Anne called the professor not far away to quickly leave to Donnie's place and flee with him first, and then she picked up a machete and killed a few of the nearest Giant-Eyed Snakes, and together with Kansa, set up Stern and fled to the other side of the old banyan tree, where there was no trace of the Giant Eye Snake. At this time, these giant-eyed monster snakes had already appeared in tens of thousands, and they were still pouring out of the grass, trees, and dim corners under the roots, and they also let out one after another sharp screams......
The professor trotted all the way to the root maze and picked up Donnie and fled to the other side of the banyan tree, but in the rush to escape, the strap of the canvas bag containing important information was so rotten that it fell off the professor's body, and all kinds of drawings and diaries were scattered all over the ground. The professor had a bad heart, and immediately turned around and went back to pick up the materials, but tens of thousands of giant-eyed snakes had already chased after him.
When Anne, who was in front of her, saw the professor turn around, she immediately turned around and shouted at him, "Professor, there are more and more snakes, they are about to catch up!" Don't pick it up, run! With that, he ran to the professor and tried to pull him away.
"No, this information is too important! I'm going to have to pick it up! The professor was reluctant to get up immediately.
Seeing that the giant eye snakes were about to crawl in front of them, Anne quickly picked up Donnie on her back, pulled the professor and ran forward. In the end, the professor only grabbed the notebook and a few drawings in one hand, and Anne was half-dragged forward, and he looked back one last time unwillingly, and saw that the materials were annihilated by the snakes......
