The fat man stood on an oasis not far from us, and the oasis here was actually a clearing where the groundwater seeped out, and there were a lot of plants growing in the clearing, and the fat man was hiding behind a huge cactus! The cactus was 2 meters tall, and it was strange that each of the cacti had something like flower branches growing on it, and most of its rhizomes were exposed to the soil, and I could even see the muddy yellow roots that looked like the thickness of an arm.

"Why are you here?" The fat man smiled and said again. At this time, all the stunned people rushed up and ran over.

I stood alone and didn't know what to do! There was a scene playing in my head, I saw the fat man's death, I saw him swallowed by the huge worm head, but now he was standing in front of me, I always felt that something was not right, but I still walked over with my head. "You're not dead?"

The fat man stopped Xie Chenhui and said, "I was stunned by that huge bug and then brought here. ”

"That's right! That's right! Yes, it is said that this bug can discharge! Boss, what else do you see? At this time, the two monkeys said!

"I just fainted!" The fat man stuck out his tongue and said.

But this time we all looked stupid, you can imagine how lethal a dead fat man made such a move, other people are good for the sake of face, I and the two monkeys immediately vomited, maybe they felt that their behavior was out of identity, the fat man coughed and immediately changed the topic and said, "What is this place?" It's an ancient plant. ”

"Yes! It's Hoshiki! The two monkeys pointed to the huge cactus and said, "This thing grew 350 million years ago and is one of the oldest terrestrial plants. It is about 0.5 meters high, and the surface of the stem is densely covered with scaly protrusions of about 5 mm, shaped like small leaves. ”

"Looks like we're back in an old place! Although the desert here is a desert, it has penetrated from above, and there is no sunlight here, so it seems that the growth of plants has evolved to a certain stage. The fat man said, turning his head, "I escaped from under the sand and ran all the way here, only to find that this is the only habitat in this desert. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You still don't understand? The land is full of nests of dead bugs. If we accidentally wake them up, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"What? The whole desert beneath! The two monkeys were a little surprised, as if a child saw himself in a toy city.

"That's the least I've guessed, because I've been brought here by this bug from the desert dirt below that bunker, and there's a good chance there's a bug traffic going down there." The fat man said as he gestured to the sight of him rampage under the sand.

Xie Chenhui They couldn't interject and could only laugh, and I took a flashlight to lead the camel to the deeper oasis, I didn't have much joy about the fat man's resurrection, on the contrary, there were some anxieties I don't know why. Could it be the fat man's attitude towards me?

In the center of the oasis there are rows of trees, these trees are not very high, but they are as usual, very like cacti, very coincidentally, such a plant I remember reading in books, this is a pseudocactus scale wood is a tree-like plant, originally very tall and stout, but now it seems to me that it is small, like the Gobi poplar, maybe it is the influence of the sun! Although it has survived, there will still be some of this effect, and the top of the trunk of the pseudocactus scale wood has been bifid and branched many times, like an enlarged cactus, so it has such a name.

I walked through this woods. Seeing that there was a lake in front of him, that is why the fat man said that this was a safe zone, because there was a cave of water death bugs below, and it was impossible to hit such a place. I walked over and looked into the water with a flashlight, and saw that the water was unusually clear, and I could even see the sand and floating debris swimming underneath. There are also many small blue dragonfly-like creatures floating on the water, and the appearance of this creature is almost an enlarged version of a living mayfly, with translucent wings.

The blue creature reflected my flashlight, and the entire surface of the lake suddenly churned under the alarm of my intruder, and I only saw a dense blue light floating in the center of the lake and finally disappearing into the depths of the oasis.

"Is this what the ancients looked like?" I moved the camel to the side of the lake and sat down alone. All the spiritual realm reached a high point after the return of the fat man, and I enjoyed the moment and lay down without too many worries. It's 1 o'clock in the evening, and I feel the need for me to rest here for a while. But after a while, the fat man came over with the four people talking and laughing, I told them about my plan, and the fat man readily agreed: "It's time to rest, it's my fault for you to worry." The fat man bowed to us unexpectedly.

But I don't care about this kind of etiquette! After the division of labor was completed, the fat man and I were going to find some dry branches in the desert outside the oasis, and Xie Chenhui and Xiaoliu were going to catch a few fish. When I was bored, I found a few fish in the lake, and the two monkeys excitedly said that they were shield fish. It is one of the earliest fishes. After the division of labor, we only left the scientists to set up their tents, and I walked out of this oasis with the fat man.

After walking out of the oasis, everything here is back to desolation, the two monkeys said that since it is the ecology of the ancient period, it means that this place must have gone through a lot of reproduction stages, so there may be some dry dead plants at the junction of the desert and the oasis, these plants are buried in the sand like fossils, but they are good materials for life.

With the mentality of giving it a try, the fat man and I walked out anyway, and I asked the fat man a lot of questions about himself along the way. Although he is indeed in front of my eyes, there is still no news of that strange feeling, but he is still fat? I scratched the mask, why is that?

"What's wrong?" The fat man asked me about my performance, "Do you have a lot to ask me?" ”

"Nope!" I shook my head and swallowed the most important sentence back into my stomach, then handed him a towel! "Wipe some sweat from your neck!"

"Really?" The fat man smiled and took the towel, "yes!" It's close to the center of the earth, so the temperature is also very high. And it's also a desert on top. ”

But when the fat man gave me back the towel I was silent, for at this moment I suddenly saw something, and though it was not enough to prove it, I felt that it was necessary for me to stay away from this man.

Who is he? Why is he here? What about the fat man?

Fortunately, he and I managed to dig up the trunk of a giant scale wood, and this kind of wood is not the tree I encountered in the Tang tomb, because there are many types of giant scale wood, and no one knows how that tree became like that in the first place.

At 2 o'clock in the morning we each settled down and saluted and tied the camels to the tree, and slept quietly, walking for too long, we all couldn't wait to get into our tents at the moment of eating the compressed dry food, but because this is the center of the earth and not the desert outside, so there is no temperature difference, on the contrary, the temperature here is very suitable at any time of time, otherwise it would not be just because there is water to create an oasis. So we didn't make a fire. But even though I was drowsy, I heard some movement outside in the haze.

I woke up at 10 o'clock the next morning, because I was so sleepy that I didn't pay attention to last night's movement at all, and at that time there was a tent for me when the sky fell, and my purpose was to sleep. But I could have slept for a while, but I was finally choked by my urine, and when I got out of the tent, I turned on the flashlight and found that no one else was up, and I squinted and walked under a tree to pee alone, but when I peed, I realized that something was wrong, because I smelled blood.

The smell instantly woke me up from my sleepiness, for I felt that the source of the smell was too close to me, and when I turned my head, I saw a camel lying dead on the ground, with a cuff-sized tear at the neck. (To be continued......)
