XXIII. Atavism

I heard the voice clearly, it was the sound of the wind blowing through a large space, "Could it be a tunnel?" I lit the fire and told the girl to move over, and then I looked in which direction.

The sound of the wind was like a clear flute, long and short, and I took advantage of the interval to hear the sound of water from far and near, I glanced at the girl, took out a gun from her backpack and walked in that direction, "I'll be back later, don't move here." ”

"Okay, go ahead." She didn't care much about eating to herself, and with a wave of her hand she retracted to the fire.

I stepped over the broken crust of the earth, walked along the soil layer towards the front, all kinds of rocks and shadows of light in the darkness formed one after another ink painting, and soon before I walked there was a large layer of rocks, I had no choice but to take a detour, but this layer of rocks is very large, all of them are connected to the ground after the fracture and accumulation.

Those places were lava cakes made of lava spews, and I saw more layers of volcanic eggs stacked there, between the primeval forest and the traces of the volcano, it was a typical volcanic forest landscape, but the light of the flashlight could not find the places above at all, only a few corners, and the rest was just an eerie feeling and cold air.

At first, I wanted to walk close to the rocks, but at the edge of the forest, it was covered with weeds and animal droppings, and I couldn't settle on it. I had no choice but to walk back into the forest. Near the sun, the trees grow very luxuriantly, and the ground is no longer a volcanic ash, but a few branches and leaves.

"You can already see signs of animal activity, and it looks like there are quite a few creatures in this kind of place." I kicked the dead tree lying on the ground at my feet. Found a little thing falling from the sky, looking up at some rain with impurities, and it was raining again? I was amazed! But I soon figured out from the amount of rain that it was just a part of it that I hadn't absorbed before.

I held the gun in my hand and saw a white ribbon pass through my eyes in the light of the flashlight. I hurried over and saw that the river was seeping out of the rocks, and the wind I had heard before was actually the sound of the crevices in the rocks, and I soon realized that something was wrong, because with the sound of the wind I felt as if the rocks were about to disperse, and the water that flowed out of the rocks was getting stronger and stronger.

But before I could reflect it, the tall piles of rocks were suddenly scattered by the water. The strong current washed me into the river, and the sudden change caused me to drift farther and farther into the river with the water, and there was no feeling in my body, and the blow just now almost washed my body apart.

"No! I'm going to really enter this forest like this, and it's going to be troublesome to get out of it when the time comes, I've seen some animal tracks before, and I'm not in a good situation. "I thought about this, and I tightened my grip on the weapon in my hand.

The violent water flow continues, and the bank of the river has risen very high, originally this small river was washed by a little flow of water for thousands of years, but this time the stone pile collapsed and the water poured so that the water of the entire river was high and had already overflowed out of the riverbank, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in his eyes, it was actually a fish.

In the haze, a dark figure suddenly jumped out of the water, and I immediately took the flashlight out of the water to see that it was just an ordinary fish.

Subconsciously, I immediately stretched out my hand to the fish, but before I could catch it in my hand, the fish that was rushing towards me bit me on my left hand with its mouth, and the sudden change really made me stunned for a moment.

As soon as my thoughts broke, a great pain spread over my body, causing me to scream again and again, I hurriedly threw the fish out, and held my left hand with my other hand to prevent too much blood from flowing out, I sat up from the river in pain, and saw a row of bloody tooth marks on my hand, and even white bones in some places, followed by a burst of pain.

But the good thing is that I have been carried by the current to the riverbank, and after that violent time, the river has quieted down again. I looked at the fish not far away from me, it was actually a flower color, the flower fish was still green and white, and the stripes were very organized, like a zebra crossing, but now it had lost its water and could only flap its tail in the dirt.

The gray rain was still falling, and I was already tired in the water, and after standing up in a daze, I looked at my palms and felt a pain and tiredness that made me fall into the mud. Colorful fish Colored fish is not nothing, but why is there such a strong color of fish? I struggled to open my eyes.

And I remember that the fish seemed to be just an ordinary mountain fish! But why is this happening?

Originally, I thought it was time for me to take a break, anyway, I would have a cold at most in this rain, but after a while, I looked at the rain that seemed to be non-stop, and I still struggled to get up, and I stepped on the fish with a "burst of eyes and belly" and walked forward with my head down. "It's not just a cold here, but it's going to die."

The surrounding trees are like mountains and peaks, this magical area is completely filled with sand and humus, on which grows tall and straight cold mountain forests and arbor rhododendrons, under the trees grow dense green arrow bamboo, and the thick moss on the ground tightly wraps the large and small glittering stones, forming countless round green balls.

Moss? It's moss, it seems that there is sunshine in this place, I am going to come out, and I don't care about the wound on my palm, the only faith sustains me to walk like a walking corpse.

I inadvertently saw that there was a cave on the other side of the river, and I didn't care about the turbulent water, so I ran straight over, but I didn't pay attention to the foot and fell under my feet, and the whole person was planted like this.

Lying on the ground, the bones in my body suddenly became brittle, and countless tiredness came to my heart, and I felt that the soil under my back was like Simmons' mattress, and I naturally fell asleep.

In the heavy rain, I felt like I was being dragged forward, probably because I had taken a nap in the camp last night, so I was still relatively awake, and I didn't think about who was dragging me at the time, but I was enjoying myself as I carried the ground on my back in the slippery muddy water.

But gradually I realized that something was wrong, the rain gradually became lighter, and I didn't even have the numbness that the rain hit on my face, but the stones on the ground gradually increased, and it hurt me a lot several times, but it was because of this that I came to my senses. Realize that this is not "her", there should be no one here. As soon as I opened my eyes, I knew that I had been pulled into a cave, unconscious, and a bloody picture came into view.

Panda A panda is actually eating a leopard, apparently the leopard has just died, the blood can't stop flowing out of his seven orifices, the head and body are only a few tendons connected, one foot was torn off hard, and it was thrown not far from us, the stomach has seen white bones, and there is no intact flesh and skin on the whole body, but the fur of a body is actually three-colored.

Look at the panda is not black and white like ordinary pandas, but it is a white spot all over the body, a red spot, and there are six colors, but white is the dominant color, and there is little skin and flesh on the head. But the five views are complete, so big that they look like ordinary pandas, no, this is a panda.

But the flower panda's teeth were like rats, and I couldn't help but shudder when I saw all kinds of corpses and bones in the cave.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, the sound of rain outside the cave gradually stopped, and then the flower panda suddenly turned its head, the flesh and blood, the hideous and terrifying scene at the same time, all of a sudden made my whole body involuntarily tremble a little, and now I have the idea of "running". The touched spirit bounced up instantly, dragging the tired person to run out of this ** field.

But when I wanted to run, I saw some strange plants growing around the cave, its stem was as thick as chopsticks, and at the top of the stem were three palm-sized leaves, and in the middle of the three leaves was a thin handle holding a red, shiny fruit, and at the root there was a round lump the thickness of a thumb. And in addition to this, there are some plants the size of a human head, and these plants look like a human face, which is very weird, but fortunately I was closer to him, I pinched it with my hand, and found that the leaves of this thing are actually human skin and flesh.

I shivered and hurried out of this strange place, bandaging my wounds, and turning on my flashlight to look around for the gun I had dropped when I was unconscious, but before I knew it, I found myself out, the forest after the rainstorm, everything was reflected in the sun's rays, the water droplets covered the leaves, the trunks of the trees, reflecting the golden light, everything was so beautiful. "Blah blah. Ray? "I looked up at the day at the crack in the heights, and realized that I had reached the mouth of the light of the underground forest.

I think it was the miracle that seemed to have taken a few steps forward, but I realized that I was not alone in the sunshine at this time. At the same time, a group of monkeys jumped down from the trees in the forest, they didn't seem to care much about me as a stranger, but blindly frolicked in this place, but I saw that these golden monkeys were all white, and my brain buzzed as if it exploded. Atavism? Atavism? Genetic degeneration? Could it be that the fish and the panda, as well as the leopard, are all atavistic products? And the Xiao Yang above, this place is wrong, and the phenomenon of atavism is not very common in the whole Shennongjia, but why is there so much in this place? ”

Just as I was thinking, I saw a figure resembling a human toddler in the group of albino golden snub-nosed monkeys. (To be continued.) )
