Chapter Seventy-Five: The Melting Head

Everyone looked at the terrifying cave full of cocoons and chrysalis, and when they heard my explanation, they all felt extremely cautious, and their scalps felt tingling, one cold war after another, and they kept shivering.

The fat man said to me unbelievingly: "Lao Zheng, maybe, some spiders are relatively large, but you just don't know it." ”

I said to the fat man, "I know that the largest spider is the 'bird-eating spider', which is slightly larger than a burrowing tarantula, about the size of an adult's fist. They weave nets between branches to prey on small animals such as birds, frogs, lizards, etc. Their habit is also nocturnal activity, poisoning the prey that has been caught in the net, and the lifespan will be longer, generally about 30 years. Although they can weave a very sticky net, they can bear a weight of about half a catty at most. If you look at the volume of the hanging object here, which one does not exceed five kilograms. This place, where is it still like a spider's cave? ”

After listening to me, everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere became very tense, so I had to say to Fifth Master: "Fifth brother, I think it's better for us to get out of here quickly." ”

The fifth master also felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so everyone withdrew one after another, this gloomy cave full of cocoons and chrysalis.

Everyone has returned to the place where we used to rest, and now we can only take the passage on the left. But the thought of having to walk through the chaotic cavern made everyone's heads already dizzy.

The fifth master gave Kun Ba a look and asked him to boost his morale, Kun Ba snorted nonsense and said, "Brothers, let's hurry up and go back quickly, the fifth master said." Everyone was tired today, and when they returned to the camp after finishing their work, they had a good rest day with good wine and meat. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses. Raise your arms and shout and walk towards the entrance of the passage on the left.

Fifth Master Zha nodded approvingly, but in my heart I felt that Kunba's subordinates were really coaxing!

Everyone walked through the passage, and sure enough, as the second son of the pathfinder said before, there were still countless dark caves inside, and the fifth master still advocated moving forward in a straight line, and everyone had no objection.

The fifth master is still leading the way in front of the head. When you come across a place where you need to choose a turn, make a mark on the cave pillar or earthen wall.

After everyone repeatedly passed through dozens of caves, large and small, they walked in front of the fifth master. Suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to stop everyone.

Everyone stopped for some reason, looked around vigilantly, and I walked to the side of the fifth master. Asked, "What's the matter, Fifth Brother?" ”

The flashlight in the hand of the fifth master shone into the cave in front of him. Then he said to me, "I want to see something up ahead." ”

I immediately said, "I'll take a look." After speaking, he took the flashlight in the hand of the fifth master.

My eyes have always been good, very confident to aim the light of the flashlight at the ground in front of me, slowly push forward, the straight line distance of the flashlight beam is very limited, but at the end of the darkness, I can see something reflecting. However, the drive flickered and flickered, and came and went.

But. I believe in my eyes, and I can be sure that there is something on the ground not far ahead, which can reflect in the dark.

I told the fifth master what I saw, and the fat man had to take a look at it, and took a flashlight to the front for a long time, but he didn't see anything.

I asked the fifth master, "What should I do?" Something that lives in the depths of this dim, damp crypt can be aggressive. ”

Fifth Master Zha looked ahead and said, "There's no way, you have to go over and find out, after all, this is the only way to move forward." ”

I nodded and said, "I'll go with you." ”

The fat man next to me said, "I'll go too." Then he said to Kunpa, who was beside him, "You go too." ”

Kun Ba made a bitter face, and said in his heart: I stay honest, how can I have my business.

Kun Ba told his men to stand by and if there was a dangerous situation in front of them, they would immediately go to the rescue.

Hearing Kunba's advice, I felt funny in my heart: this Kunba is really a rare person who is full of egoism.

The four of us groped our way forward by the light of a dim flashlight, and after walking long in the dark silence, the fat man immediately whispered, "There is something shining on the ground!" ”

At this time, we can clearly see the ground in front of us, there is a reflective thing lying motionless, and when we carefully and slowly walk to it, we find that it is a cocoon chrysalis, but the silk is fresh and shiny, as if it has just been made.

Suddenly, Kun Ba, who was beside me, took a step back suddenly, and we were so frightened that we all looked at him, and he said with a shocked expression on his face, "This thing seems to have moved." ”

Hearing that this thing was alive, we looked at the cocoon chrysalis on the ground again, and the light of the flashlight swam forward on the ground, and we soon found that the cocoon chrysalis was only half cut off, and there was no silk in front of it, revealing a human head.

However, just looking at the appearance of the human head, it does not look like a living person. The human head and face had collapsed severely, and all the muscles on the face, like melted ice cream, clinged to and flowed under the blackened skin.

The fat man kicked the cocoon on the ground and said, "This thing looks dead at first glance, how can it move." ”

Kun Hachi looked at the head exposed by the cocoon chrysalis and said embarrassedly, "Maybe I'm dazzled." However, I know this person. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised, and I said in my heart: This person's head is like a lump of melted ice cream, this ghost looks, even if his own mother comes, he may not be able to recognize it, how can you see who he is?

Seeing everyone's skeptical eyes, Kun Bayan said conclusively: "I do know this person." ”

A cocoon chrysalis that appeared for no reason blocked our way, Kunba actually said that he knew the unsightly person in this cocoon chrysalis, and the other three of us all looked at him suspiciously.

The fat man asked him, "How can you recognize people who have become like this?" ”

Seeing that the three of us didn't believe him, Kun Ba turned around and shouted to the group of people behind him, "Little Fatty, come over here." ”

I saw that the black-clothed chubby who had fallen into the hole before replied "yes", and shook his fat body and ran over.

Only a few dozen steps away. The chubby man in black ran out of breath, and I couldn't help but say: This guy's body is too bad, compared with the fat comrades who are also fat, it is a world of difference. It can be seen that the chubby man in black is really fat, and the fat man is strong.

When Kun Ba saw that the black-clothed chubby was approaching, he pointed to the only human head exposed from the cocoon chrysalis and said to us: "If you look closely, you can see that the collar exposed under his neck is the same as that of Chubby, indicating that he may be my subordinate." And I think that this corpse was my buckteeth, although this corpse is unrecognizable, but I can see this protruding bucktooth on the human face, which is his characteristic sign. Anyone who has ever met him will recognize him at a glance."

The black-clothed little fat stood aside, and immediately nodded in agreement and said: "It is indeed buckteeth, I recognize his buckteeth, he came to me just now, let me go treasure hunting with him, fortunately I was not confused by him, or it would have become his dead appearance." ”

At this time, many people came over behind him, and they agreed: "It's indeed buckteeth." "Yes, he's right, this bucktooth is so memorable."

Kunba looked at the cocoon chrysalis on the ground and said, "However, how did Bucktooth become like this?" ”

The fifth master squatted down to look at the human head that seemed to have melted, and I also squatted down to watch, the fat man was curious, he also squatted down, and immediately poked his fingers at the cheek of the human head, and said while poking: "The skin has become thick, it's disgusting." ”

I said to the fat man: "It's disgusting that you still poke it with your hand, and you're not afraid of poison." ”

When the fat man heard that it might be poisonous, he immediately retracted his hand as if he had been bitten by a snake, and uneasily checked his fingers to see if there was anything wrong.

Looking at the fused heads, I remembered the topic of talking about spiders before, could it be that this cave really lives in a huge spider beyond imagination. A spider that can prey on humans and livestock, how big does that body have to be? Could it be as big as the bottom of a flower pot, or maybe as big as the lid of a pot, maybe the head will be more powerful. I was so disgusted by the thought that I had a special aversion to these chelicerae arthropods, especially the disgusting claw spines and tufts of hair on their feet, and they were so poisonous that just thinking about them gave me goosebumps all over my body.

I don't want to take another look at the disgusting head, and I really can't find any clues on it, and now I can confirm that the missing person has been here or has been here. So he stood up and said to the fifth master: "If this person is someone from the team that disappeared before, it means that they have been here and are in danger, so we should try our best to find them, so as not to have more victims." ”

Fifth Master Zha nodded and said, "I have to find them quickly, it seems that they are in trouble." ”

I turned to Kun Ha and his men and said, "It's not safe here, there are dangers, everyone is looking out for each other, and be careful. ”

Everyone nodded at once, and then moved closer to each other, continuing their journey through the deranged cavern.

Zha Wuye led the way in front with a flashlight, and suddenly asked me: "Xiaowen, do you feel that the temperature of this underground cave is gradually rising. ”

Before I could reply, the fat man next to me immediately interjected, "I already felt it." When I first came down, I felt that the underground cave was very cold and cold, and the skin seemed to have a layer of frost, and there was ice slag rubbing against the skin, stinging unbearably. Now it's so hot and humid that it's breathless, and it's like a bathhouse, and it's okay to unbutton your clothes. (To be continued......)
