Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Valley of Horrors
Batur frowned, he found that Li Zhongkui's ribs were also broken several times, so he couldn't help but recall what Zamu had said before, thinking that the sandstorm must have happened, otherwise the bones on his body would not have been broken so badly. And his flesh and internal organs may have been eaten up by something, and there can be such a cruel killing method in this desert, Nabatur can only think of one thing, he turned his head and asked the old horse: "Do you know such a thing as a sand nunnery?" Or have you heard of it? ”
The old horse's body was shocked, and he glared and asked him, "You mean?" Chung-kyu was eaten by that thing like this? ”
"What I guess is not impossible." "Have you seen it?" ”
Lao Ma shook his head and said: "No, I just heard that the past expeditions have mentioned it, it is said that this thing has only appeared on Lop Nur in the past twenty years, it is large, fast, catches people and eats, and prefers the internal organs of men and children." Xue Ka and others in their team also studied this species, and they speculated that this thing might be aliens. ”
"What?" Hearing the word alien, Xiao burst out laughing, everyone turned their heads to stare at him, he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's okay, you continue." ”
"But doesn't that thing only eat offal? Why is even Li Zhongkui's brain gone? And the skull hasn't been broken, could it be that thing knocked out the eyeballs and stuck out the tongue to suck it directly? Lao Du said.
"Oh my God!" Wei Xiao couldn't help but shudder, staring at Lao Du in disbelief.
Batur shook his head: "Perhaps, this thing has wisdom, we found out when we dealt with it before, and we suffered a lot of losses for it." ”
"That's right, this thing is fine, the hole in my stomach was dug by it, and the intestines were pulled out by it at that time! It may have changed its flavor now, and it tasted good after tasting the human brain, so it simply opened a hole and dug it directly to eat. Xiao said with a big lip.
Lao Ma frowned, didn't want to listen to it anymore, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this, don't discuss these anymore, let's bury him." ”
Several people dug a small grave for Li Zhongkui, placed the broken body in two and put it in the tomb, and used the gravel to make a grave. Lao Ma is a person who values love and righteousness, although he is not a Muslim, but after finishing the matter, he knelt in front of the grave for a long time and refused to get up, silently praying for Li Zhongkui.
After hastily eating lunch at noon, several people rode on camels and continued to look for them. Knowing that there may also be a sand nunnery in this Yadan group, everyone didn't dare to take it lightly, and directly clamped the gun hanging around their necks into the crook of their arms, so that they could shoot directly in case of an emergency. Xiao Dayi didn't dare to doze off at the moment, sitting on the camel with his eyes as wide as a light bulb, he also excitedly told everyone about their encounter with Sha'an, Wei Xiao was fascinated by it, and the hara was dripping.
After walking a little further, a few people went around into a valley, this valley is unusually deep, and you can't see the end at a glance, as soon as you enter, Xiao Da Lip exclaimed, and a few people saw that the steep rock wall and soil layer in the valley were all black and pitch color.
The surrounding rock walls are black and shiny, and there are large abrupt rock formations above the rock walls, showing neat layers like knife cuts, just like artificially carved modern sculptures. Due to the blockage of rock formations, sunlight can hardly penetrate here, and occasionally a few places of sunlight will enter through the holes, forming mottled points of light on the ground, and the valley is even more beautiful, like an artistic palace.
Several people looked at each other, this valley is really beautiful! Although the Yadan landform seen in the past two days is strange, the vast area is full of monotonous earth color, boring and boring, without any freshness. However, this valley has too much visual impact, this translucent black, this layered halo directly stimulates the nerves of the brain, and in an instant several people thought that they had walked out of Lop Nur and returned to the modern bustling city.
Surprised, Xiao Da Yan subconsciously looked into the depths of the valley, saw that the end of the valley was pitch black, and said in his heart that there should not be any danger ambush here, or some huge danger waiting for a few of their uninvited guests.
Thinking that the old horse who was leading in front had already led a few people to the depths of the valley, Xiao Da Lip came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Don't you think this valley is a little weird?" My gut tells me it's a 'tempting trap', so why don't we stop and discuss it before we move on, how about it, old horse? ”
Lao Ma looked back and saw that he was silent, and Wei Xiao next to him scolded with a smile: "To hell with your intuition!" It's also a 'tempting trap', what a figurative word, listen to the goosebumps on my body! ”
"You little bunny!" Xiao glared at him with big lips, and Wei Xiao immediately laughed, and the laughter reverberated wonderfully in the valley.
Xiao frowned with big lips, he became familiar in the past two days, Wei Xiao, this kid, didn't take him as a "big brother" in his eyes, he had nothing to do with himself all day long, and he laughed at himself when he had nothing to do, which made him really want to punch his two "rabbit teeth", so that he would never be embarrassed to open his mouth again.
"What do you say?" Xiao turned back to ask Batur.
Batur seemed to be thinking about something, his brows furrowed deeply, and at this moment he replied absentmindedly: "Let's go and see, they have already come in." ”
"Since you say so," Xiao sighed depressedly and had to walk with his head down. After a while, Batur circled around to the front of the group and crouched down on the ground to survey the ground.
Everyone stopped to catch their breath, Lao Du began to study the rock wall next to him, stared at it for a while, and then he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you think this black and shiny thing is an asphalt vein?" ”
"Asphalt veins?" Xiao's lips were stunned, "I haven't heard of it, and this is not Wuerhe." ”
"If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that you haven't wow, maybe the country hasn't discovered that there are such precious natural asphalt deposits in Dragon City!" Lao Du stepped forward and touched the rock wall as he spoke, but as soon as he reached out and touched it, he shouted, no!
Lao Du's "no" shouted too suddenly, and the other four people were doing their own things, until he shouted, everyone turned around suddenly, and saw that Lao Du's hand had turned black in an instant, and then very quickly, the pitch-black part drilled into his cuff again, and the hand left behind turned into a bloody bone.
"OMG! Lao Du, your hands! Wei Xiao was stunned all of a sudden, and the others were immediately stunned.
Lao Du screamed when he saw his hand, and then began to shake his arm violently, trying to throw out the "black" that had just been drilled into the cuff.
Batur yelled, "! These things are alive! Whoever has a knife quickly cut off his arm! ”
As soon as he shouted, everyone realized that there were many black things moving rapidly on the rock wall that Lao Du had touched just now, and after a while, the original earthy color of the rock formation below was revealed.
Wei Xiao only glanced at it, and then he was shocked, he immediately pulled out the side knife, and then he was about to step forward and cut Lao Du's arm. But before he could do anything, Lao Du's body twisted painfully, and almost in a few seconds, the black came up from under Lao Du's neck like seawater, and all of it moved to his face at once, and after a while, it floated along his hair to the back of his head.
His entire face, in an instant, turned into a blood gourd.
