Chapter 12: The Giant Egg
The third child stood up angrily when he heard the fat man's words, pointed at the fat man's nose and stomped his foot. As a result, the third child didn't use much strength to stomp on the ground, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, which caused the ground of the earth cave where they were located to collapse downwards in an instant, bringing the unprepared people directly into the ground.
Maybe it's because the earth dragon is pressed on the empty shell all the year round, so that the ground has long been unable to load; Maybe it was the cigarette man's shovels that went down and destroyed the original tension on the ground; Or maybe it was the third child's amazing internal force, which shook the ground with one kick, anyway, it was a combination of various possible factors, and the ground in the nest collapsed in an instant.
The dust flew around in mid-air like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and everyone didn't fall in the air for long, almost in the blink of an eye, the body floating in the air returned directly to the ground.
The fat man was the first to shake his head from the dirt, shaking the dirt off his head, and then he tried to struggle to get up from the mass of dirt. As a result, he slipped and fell to the ground, and the same happened to other people. At the same time, everyone felt that the ground under their bodies was not hard, but extraordinarily soft.
The fat man sat up with his hands propped up, and saw a large amount of clear liquid stuck to his shoes. In disgust, he stood up and rubbed his feet against the dirt. As a result, the dirt beneath his feet was kicked away, revealing a thick layer of disgusting mud that was mixed with slime underneath, leaving the shoes with a thick layer of disgusting mud. The fat man crouched down in frustration and wiped the dirt from his shoes with a rag, and when he crouched down close to the ground, he found a large amount of transparent slime under the dirt under his feet. Curious, he pushed the dirt away and found that under the slime was not the earth, but something underneath.
The fat man was very curious and focused on exploring what was under his feet, and at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded, and the fat man hurriedly stood up and looked around. I saw the third child not far away, who was on the ground from where the fat man was, a foot lower than a foot below, looking up with a frightened expression.
The fat man thought that the third child was exclaimed because he had fallen below, so he walked forward and said to the third child who was below: "You stand there and don't move, we will find a rope to pull you up." ”
As a result, the third child did not pay attention to what the fat man said, but looked up straight ahead with his eyes, and his attention was completely focused on the fat man's feet. At this moment, the monkey walking in front of the fat man suddenly exclaimed "ah", and then the whole person slid downwards along with a large amount of dirt under his feet. The fat man, who was very close to the monkey, subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the monkey, and as a result, his feet also slipped, and he rolled down with the monkey. The fat man's fat weight of more than 200 pounds once again dramatically pressed on the thin monkey's body.
The two who fell struggled to get up from the dirt, and the fat man patted the dirt off his body, and looked up to see the monkey who had stood up, as if he was fixed on the ground, motionless with his mouth wide open, and looked behind him dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.
The fat man couldn't help but turn around in confusion, and as a result, he suddenly gasped and was so frightened that he involuntarily took a step back.
It turned out that the place where the fat man and the monkey had just fallen was not land, but a huge oval egg. The land that collapsed from the Earth Dragon's Lair was directly divided into several large pieces and fell on the body of the giant egg.
This strange and strange giant egg is estimated to be about the size of a house, a foot high and wide, because everyone stands at the tail end of the giant egg, so they can't see how long it is, but just looking at the part, you can imagine its huge size.
The fat man was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and moved to the side in horror, only to see that the whole egg skin was as thin as a cicada's wings, clear and transparent, and he could see that the middle of the cortex was interspersed with green veins, and the egg skin seemed to be wrapped in a huge embryo.
The smoke man jumped down from above one after another, and the soil on the egg also rolled down one after another, and the face of the giant egg was more clearly displayed.
The monkey asked the fat man in surprise, "What kind of insect egg is this, fat brother?" Why is it so big? "As a result, in exchange for a fat man, you ask me, I ask whose eyes.
The second child standing beside them said with a smile on his face, "It must be the baby of the dead giant pangolin." ”
The monkey immediately said sarcastically: "You fool, pangolins are mammals, not oviparous. ”
As a result, the monkey's words of scolding the second brother were heard by the third child who was standing aside and watching, and immediately scolded the monkey with a sharp voice: "Dead monkey cub, you say that my second brother is stupid, be careful that I kill you." As soon as the third child was angry, the monkey immediately wilted and did not dare to make a sound.
The cigarette man waved his hand, signaling everyone not to make noise, and then walked to the front of the giant egg and watched intently.
Suddenly, the giant egg beat like a heart without warning, causing the frightened onlookers to take several steps back in a panic.
The smoke man looked at the giant egg in front of him and said coldly, "This place is not suitable for a long time. After speaking, he walked away from the giant egg, walked in the opposite direction where the giant egg was, and then inserted the Luoyang shovel connected to the iron pipe into the soil wall in front of him, and then pulled it out with skillful force to check the soil on the shovel. At this time, everyone else was not interested in watching the giant egg, and walked up to the smoke man, preparing to dig the thief hole, but only the curious fat man and the monkey were left, still staring at the giant egg.
The monkey turned his head sideways and asked the fat man, "Fat brother, can you see what is inside?" ”
The fat man boldly approached the giant egg, touched the translucent egg skin on the surface of the giant egg with his hand and said, "I can't see clearly." But this thing is big enough, do you think it's possible that there are elephants hatching inside? ”
The monkey also slowly approached the giant egg, then stared at the giant egg and said: "Elephants are viviparous, ordinary oviparous animals do not grow so big, I have seen the largest creature in history in the museum, that is, the extinct dinosaurs, and their eggs are not so big!" ”
After listening to the monkey's words, the fat man said to him with some admiration: "Little monkey cub, I didn't see that you know a lot, and you have even been to the museum, which is much better than your fat brother and me." Isn't it fun to have a museum? Later, you will take me to see and see. ”
As soon as the monkey heard the fat man praise him, he immediately became immodest, and said ostentatiously: "Fat brother, the museum is beautiful, I am fortunate to accompany my eldest lady, so I have been to a lot of novel places, and I have seen a lot of good things, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely take you to see it." However, then again, the shell of this giant egg is thin and transparent, and only insect eggs and fish eggs will look like this, but what bug and fish can give birth to such a large giant egg. Moreover, the transparent shell of this giant egg is also covered with green blood like meridians, which is really weird and abnormal, I have never heard of an egg growing like this! Let's crack it up and see what strange creatures it contains. I guess it's long gone, so there's no danger. Even if it's alive, it's much safer to get it out and die before it hatches than when it's fully hatched! ”
The fat man's courage was greater than that of the sky, and now curiosity was tickling him like a feather, and as a result, when he heard the monkey's unremarkable mentions, his heart was completely in agreement, and there was not the slightest idea of opposition.
However, the fat man didn't dare to act rashly this time, firstly, he was afraid of the smoking man, afraid that he would turn his face, and secondly, the underground space where they were located was not very large, in case the things in the giant egg were alive, and when they fought, they were like a turtle in an urn and a bird in a cage, and it was very difficult to stretch.
As a result, the fat man hesitated again and again, and finally was invaded by evil curiosity, so he made up his mind and prepared to do it.
Just as the fat man and the monkey were about to make a move, someone behind them suddenly spoke, "What the hell are you two doing?" It was none other than the third child who spoke, and since just now, he has been paying attention to the fat man's every move, for fear that they will get into trouble again. As a result, he was really caught. The third man twisted his waist and slowly walked to the two who were about to move, and the fat man and the monkey immediately said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, I was just curious, I took a closer look, and I had absolutely no other ideas." ”
The third child pinched a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then said to the fat two: "My eldest brother has found the location of the underground palace, this digging and stealing hole, do you two also have to help, you can't always make trouble everywhere, right?" ”
As soon as the fat man heard that he had found the location of the underground palace, he immediately ran in the direction of the smoke man excitedly. At this time, the smoke man and the others were already taking turns digging the thief hole, and the thief hole hit the wall farthest from the giant egg, and now it was half a person high and eight feet deep. The smoke man's second brother can be seen to have the strength of the arms, and the Luoyang shovel was danced up and down by him, although the thief hole is not professional, but the speed is amazing.
The fat man walked to the front of the thief cave and shouted loudly into the cave: "Second brother, change me when you are tired." ”
Immediately from inside the cave, the second child's simple laughter replied: "I'm not tired, I have strength, digging a hole is nothing." ”
The soil was constantly turning out of the hole from the wall, and the hole was digging deeper and deeper, although the fat man was very anxious, but he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he told everyone to take a break, drink some water and continue digging.
Although it is to take turns to dig the thief hole, but the people outside are not easy, when digging the thief hole vertically, the person above is responsible for lifting the soil to the top, and when digging the thief hole horizontally, it is necessary to lift the soil outward, digging deep, it is necessary to arrange a person at intervals of distance, responsible for lifting the soil outside. In fact, in the later stage of digging, it is equivalent to everyone working together to excavate, and everyone is contributing in different ways.
The soil outside the cave has been piled up into a big mound, everyone is already sweating profusely and panting, the fat man handed the kettle to the second child who came out to rest, and then asked him: "How is the digging inside?" ”
After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, the second child wiped his mouth with his hand, just about to answer. Suddenly, a crisp sound of eggshells shattering crossed everyone's ears.
The smoke man stood up from the ground in an instant, walked up to the giant egg, and quickly looked around the giant egg. Everyone else also heard the voice just now, and everyone's face showed obvious nervousness, and everyone knew in their hearts that the contents of the giant egg were definitely not a good thing, and if they hatched, they might become an unknown threat.
Normally, when this happens, the fat man will never wait and see the changes like me, he followed the footsteps of the smoke man, and quickly observed the giant egg, and obviously found that the egg shell at one end of the giant egg was cracked with a large 'Xuan', and this crack was about three feet long.
And just when the smoke man and the fat man were still observing, then there was a sudden sound of eggshell breaking, and the smoke man stopped watching, hurriedly walked to the entrance of the thief hole, and said to everyone with a slightly anxious expression: "Hurry up and dig the thief hole." With that, he went headlong into the hole in the wall.
The monkey pulled the fat man who came over and asked, "Fat brother, is that thing cracked?" ”
The fat man didn't answer, and nodded with a slightly uneasy face.
The monkey said with a nonchalant face: "I was trying to get it open just now, but now it is trouble-free, it cracks on its own." ”
The fat man standing on the side didn't have the curiosity he had before, his expression was very solemn, and he said in a slightly trembling tone: "Alive." ”
