Chapter 18: The Shriveled Mermaid
I pulled the lynx's face to carefully check that he was not back to the light, and then I was greatly relieved, and the people around me, especially the second grandfather, were glad that they didn't stop me from wasting time on the bobcat, but fortunately people saved me.
Pang Hui sneered: "Did you save it and continue to walk with a burden?" ”
The second grandfather looked at him with a frown, his eyes shining with indescribable brilliance.
"Am I not right?" Pang Hui ignored the second grandfather's gaze, walked in front of the lynx, bowed his head and pointed at him, and said, "What will happen next with this sick appearance?" ”
His tone was arrogant and not good, but the words of others were also on the point, which made us unable to refute, and the old man was surprisingly not jumping out to mess around at the moment, and it is estimated that his performance just now made him fall into deep self-blame.
"I'll carry the bobcat!"
The person who spoke was Scar, and he walked over and looked at Pang Hui stiffly, "So, please shut up." ”
Pang Hui pursed his lips and looked away, seemingly afraid to make eye contact with Scar. I shook my head and said, "But how can you carry the wound on your hand?" ”
Scar tightened the bandage on his palm, and said with a smile: "This injury is nothing, when I followed Uncle Shen to make a living, injuries often happened, and I was used to it." Don't worry, I'll hook him with my arm, and I'll trouble you to take care of us more when the time comes. ”
Seeing how easy he said, I knew in my heart that carrying a person forward here was equivalent to handing over half of my life, and the remaining half depended on whether my companion was a wolf.
"I'll do it." The old egg, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, "I have always belonged to the kind of person who can't work hard, and it doesn't make much difference anyway, the lynx will let me carry it, and when I encounter danger, Scar is stronger than me no matter what." ”
I nodded, picked the lynx up, handed it to the old egg, and looked at him with burning eyes, "That's what you said, don't let us all down." ”
Seeing that I still trusted him, the people around him nodded at him, and couldn't help but show that cheap smile, patted his chest and said: "Put one hundred and twenty hearts, although the egg master is cowardly, but there is a human life on his back, then it will definitely not disgrace you." ”
I don't know where his blind confidence comes from, but at least it's better than pessimism and despair in this environment. So after discussing with the second grandfather to take a rest, he returned to the original point again and set off to Chen Li's room and the dissection room.
On the way, I asked the bobcats how they got swallowed into the belly of the strange fish. The bobcat described the situation with a miserable smile, he and Aqua returned the same way, there were no accidents on the way, and they entered the chemical dispensing room smoothly, at that time they were in a hurry, and did not check the surroundings to see if there was any danger, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find available chemicals, but it didn't come to pass, Aqua found a hole in the wall inside, and the lynx was vigilant at that time, and told Aqua not to come forward, but it was too late, and there were two lanterns floating in the cave and moving out quickly, Directly rolled up Aqua on the edge of the cave entrance, and the hand that the lynx could move at that time dragged the military thorn and rushed over, and saw that half of Aqua's body had entered the fish's mouth, and the remaining two legs were still twitching and kicking outside.
The lynx general bit the stabbing in his mouth, grabbed one of Aqua's ankles with one hand, and dragged it out, but the strange fish glared at him, shook his head a few times, and threw the bobcat away, swallowing the rest of Aqua's stomach like a date, and then pressed towards the bobcat.
This is how it happened, at that time the lynx only had one hand to move, and there was no way to resist the large and agile strange fish, and it was instantly reduced to the fate of food, if we were ten minutes late at that time, it is estimated that it was not the bobcat and Aqua who were dug up, but two corpses that had been corroded by stomach acid.
The old man turned his face sideways and said, "Hey, that's luck, otherwise Aqua is dead, and you are still alive." ”
The lynx shook his head, and with great difficulty took out a jade-like amulet almost two fingers long from his bosom to show us, "Maybe this thing is protecting me, and I have been able to save the day several times when I thought I would die, including this time." ”
I reached for the crooked, slender amulet, looked at it twice, and returned it to him, "What is this?" Looks like the teeth of some animal. ”
The bobcat hid the amulet close to his body, smiled mysteriously, and said in a voice that only me and the old man could hear, "Remember when I told you about the monster I encountered in the mountains of my hometown? That's the tooth that fell out of its mouth. ”
The old man and I were suddenly shocked, looking at the amulet he put in, and almost screamed, that tooth is almost eighteen centimeters long, about the same size as the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex, according to what the lynx said at the time, there should be a giant snake in the cave in the sky, a snake has such thick teeth, so how big is it? Just one head is about the same size as a Tyrannosaurus rex's head.
As I talked to them, I thought about them, as if the story of the bobcat had brought me into his hometown, and saw the mountain and the giant creatures that pressed down under it.
Neither the old man nor I asked him how he got the snake fang, but asked him to squint for a while to regain his strength.
After returning to the original point, the second grandfather, who was already frowning, frowned even more fiercely, he squatted down with a flashlight, looked carefully at the fungi on the ground, and said suspiciously: "The insects are gone." ”
Hearing this, I thought of a possibility, and smelled the fishy smell on my body, "Could it be a chain reaction caused by the blood of that strange fish, those who sensed the danger, so they all hid." ”
"Probably." The second grandfather nodded, got up and continued walking, but this time he was much more cautious.
Zhao Anyi suddenly deliberately hung to the middle of the team, came to me, and whispered: "Your second grandfather seems to be wrong, he seems to have found something, but he is not unwilling to tell us." ”
"How do you feel? Don't think about it. I waved her hand and motioned for her not to be suspicious.
Miss Zhao was unhappy, glanced at me, and muttered: "A woman's intuition is very accurate, don't believe it." ”
After saying that, he quickened his pace and chased after him again.
As soon as Zhao Anyi finished speaking, the second grandfather suddenly stood still, pressing the handle of the waist knife with one hand, and I noticed from behind that his ears were shaking, as if he was listening to something.
I walked over quickly, saw that his face was not good, and just wanted to ask, the second grandfather 'shh ”
My hand holding the dagger suddenly tightened, and I looked behind me unexpectedly, but there was nothing, could it be that the old man also began to be suspicious? But in a blink of an eye, the second grandfather's face turned from white to blue, what he saw, but he didn't want to say it, so anxious that we felt uneasy.
At this time, the bobcat, which had been pretending to sleep, also opened its eyes and hooked its finger at me.
When I came, he said weakly, "There is a ghost ......."
Ghost? I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, if it was a ghost, I was not afraid, I was afraid that it was not a ghost, but those monsters that carried dark energy.
Seeing that I was not afraid, the bobcat quietly pointed ahead, "Pay attention to the angle of the old man's line of sight." ”
After being reminded by him, I slowly moved my steps and stood behind my second grandfather, only to see that at the corner of the passage, a black figure was lying motionless on the corner, and a black shadow similar to a head poked out to look at us.
Is there really a ghost? I sneered in my heart, deliberately freed my hand, and was about to release a little mist to explore, when suddenly the second grandfather said, "Go over." ”
Everyone was a little apprehensive, but no one wanted to stay.
Rushed to the corner of the passage and shone the flashlight on the black shadow, Zhao Anyi immediately covered his mouth and frowned to dodge, only to see a slender corpse lying there, the black hole in the eye socket had already collapsed, and the skin was dry and waterless, but the hair was very long and wet, as if it had just come out of the water.
The hands were like chicken claws, shriveled and slender, the nails were curled and sharp, and they seemed to be growing, and the mouth was wide and hideous, and the remaining teeth could still be seen inside, like a roar before death.
"Huh!" The old egg first noticed that something was wrong, looked behind the corpse, and suddenly said in surprise: "Look at its lower body, it looks like a snake." ”
The second grandfather turned the corner with a flashlight, and when he saw it, it was a slender fish body, frowning but surprised: "It's not a snake, it's a fish, I can't believe that I would actually see a mermaid in this kind of place." ”
"It's a pity that it's dead." The old man sighed and said: "If only he was alive, then he would definitely eat the news that caused a sensation in the world, what kind of books will he read when the time comes, and the ticket money alone will be enough for a lifetime every day." ”
Hou Jun snorted, "That's it!" ”
"But why are there mermaids here?" Zhao Anyi asked the point.
I looked closely at the direction of the shriveled fish, the tail of which was stuck in the crack of a door, and I looked up at the Japanese text on the door, "You may be able to find the answer you want inside." ”
