Chapter 15: Sea Scale Worms

The unknown creature was very large, almost filling the eight-meter-wide elevator passage, and I don't know how long, there were several rows of short, pointy soft feet on its side that slowly moved up and down against the wall of the passage.

And when we moved the flashlight to the head, the behemoth did not react to the light source in the slightest, under the gray-white head, a face similar to an old lady had no eye sockets, no nose, only a slightly raised small bag, the bag had two small holes, which should be used as a respiratory organ, and there was a toothless mouth like an old lady underneath, but in the eyes of the old man, it was a different scene, and he muttered in a low voice: "How is it like a woman's intimate organs, this monster still looks so strange?" ”

But fortunately, this monster didn't seem to have much reaction to us, and stood in the passage in a daze, just as the second grandfather beckoned us to continue on our way, the monster's mouth suddenly moved, and the flat mouth suddenly opened, and another mouthpart stretched out from it, which was triangular, a bit like the mouth of a gar, and was full of jagged teeth.

"It's eating those tentacles!" Hou Jun looked at the monster's movements in a daze, and said a little confused: "I thought those tentacles were the monster in front of me, but it doesn't seem to be." ”

Zhao Anyi eased her frightened emotions a little, and said: "This monster looks so familiar, wait, by the way, I have seen a photo of this guy in the marine biology research report, it is a sea scale insect, but....just..."

"It's just something!" The old man grabbed his hair and said, "Miss, you can finish it in one breath, it's hard to know if you can't get the egg." ”

Zhao Anyi was still stunned and looked at the so-called sea scale insect and said, "It's just that the photo I saw on the report is a sea scale insect magnified under a microscope." ”

This time it's our turn to gasp, what are you kidding, from the microscope to the behemoth in front of us, how many times has the volume spanned?

"Remember what that Osa's diary says?" Zhao Anyi analyzed and said: "Originally, the lifespan of the sea scale insect is very long, when the gene cells have independent consciousness, they will choose to live forever or replicate and reproduce, for now, they have made a choice, plus there is enough food source here, this sea scale insect may grow bigger and bigger in the future." ”

"Where the food comes from?" I frowned as I looked at the tentacles that had been harvested into my mouth by the raised jagged teeth of the sea scale insects, "So this sea scale insect is actually the natural enemy of the tentacle monster?" ”

Zhao Anyi shook his head and said: "It's not very clear, but it does seem a bit like it at the moment." ”

The second grandfather, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "Didn't you notice that this monster actually looks vicious, but it's actually very docile?" This is somewhat similar to the ancient tombs, except for the tomb beasts deliberately placed in the tombs, in fact, most of the weird creatures will not deliberately hurt people, most of them are people who don't know how to do it, and they are attacked only when they inadvertently offend the other party's territory, and all creatures have their territorial awareness. ”

When we said this, the sea scale insect that was still eating had left our line of sight, and as we kept going down, the temperature began to gradually rise, almost twenty-one or two degrees, and strange moss began to appear on the iron ladder, about another hundred meters or so, and the scene of the elevator passage was still not visible outside the window, and it was still blocked by the gray-white sea scale insect body, you can imagine how big that guy is.

We're lucky at the moment, that guy is a docile guy and isn't interested in us nine of us, otherwise it's not like it's fun to break through this tin wall with its size.

Below, the temperature is still rising, it is almost close to twenty-nine degrees, which is not a high temperature in the outside world, but in this unventilated environment, it is like a sauna, and we are still wearing thick jackets, which is simply torment.

The old egg was so hot that he almost fainted, sticking out his tongue like a dog.

But in the whole team, maybe I'm the only one who feels much better, probably because of the physique of the half-cut yin, anyway, after so long, I haven't felt unwell.

At this time, the moss-like plants under the feet also began to increase, and the layers were laid on the stairs like a thick carpet, and the ones on it were soft, and there were many unknown insects on the moss that were startled out and crawled around, and there were also slightly larger insects that pounced out to eat the smaller insects.

There seems to be another kind of ecological chain here, like the relationship between the giant sea scale insect and its tentacles.

Now that the pyramidal ecological chain has emerged, will the predators at the top also appear? Under the warning of the second grandfather, we raised our hearts one hundred and twenty, carefully observed the surroundings, and the point we were about to reach, and the whole passage took nearly an hour.

The moment we all stepped out of the safety exit, we were greeted by a strange world, a large number of fungi set up on the ground like plants, or climbing on various utensils, unknown insects inhabited among the fungi, or preyed, or frolicked, and the dead insects were absorbed by the fungus to form a cycle, and this is an independent world.

Scar carried a knife to scrape the fungus lying on the wall, revealing a map of the second floor, indicating that the location we are in is at the reception entrance, that is, the location of the hall, from the left and right are relatively different rooms, the left is the chemical preparation room, the right is the Chen Li room and the dissection room, the turning passage is crossed, there is a larger area, the Japanese marked above, Zhao Anyi translates to the sacrificial room.

"Sacrifice to the gods?" The old man plucked his nostrils and said, "It's such a high-end sci-fi here, you tell me it's such a feudal name for worshipping gods?" ”

Zhao Anyi said seriously: "That's what it says above, am I still lying to you alone?" ”

"It could be a place to put the spiritual seat." I guessed, "Grandpa told me that there is a nameless existence behind the spiritual table, will those Japanese people also know?" ”

"In that case, it will explain why the Japanese needed so many experiments." The second grandfather retracted his burning gaze and looked at Pang Hui, "What do you say?" ”

Pang Hui seemed to scoff at our speculation, neither nodding nor shaking his head, anyway, he didn't say anything.

Since he didn't speak, the second grandfather didn't seem to care, and pointed out the passage between Chen Li's room and the dissection room, so the nine of us set off again after resting for a few minutes, and after the second grandfather's reminder, try not to provoke those unknown insects, so as not to be attacked.
