Wen Qingshan frowned and pondered for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "I thought of a very ferocious animal, but this animal is not suitable for survival in this kind of place. ”

"What animal?" Long Yi asked.

Wen Qingshan replied word by word: "Komodo Dragon! ”

"What!?" As soon as he heard the Komodo Dragon, Long Yi's face suddenly changed.

I hurriedly asked, "What is a Komodo dragon?" ”

Ryuichi took a deep breath and replied, "The Komodo dragon is a giant lizard named because it is only found on the island of Komodo in Indonesia. The Komodo dragon is the largest known lizard in the world, with adult lizards reaching up to three meters in length. This lizard is very ferocious and attacks the living creatures in its territory, feeding not only on the wild boars, deer, and monkeys on the island, but also on humans, and in Komodo Island, people die every year because of the attack of Komodo dragons. ”

As soon as the dragon finished speaking, Wen Qingshan added: "The Komodo dragon runs extremely fast, and is good at ambushing, it will ambush on the way the prey passes, and when the prey is near, it will quickly pounce and attack, bite off the prey's hind legs, and after the prey cannot move, then tear the throat or abdomen of the prey with its sharp teeth, and the prey will die due to heavy bleeding." Even if the prey escapes at the time, it doesn't matter, there are many septic bacteria in the saliva of the Komodo dragon, once the prey is bitten, the bacteria will enter the prey through the wound, spread rapidly along the blood circulation, and soon cause sepsis to slow down the prey's movement, if not treated in time, it will die within a day or two. The Komodo dragon simply followed behind the prey and waited for the prey to slowly die. ”

After listening to what Long Yi and Wen Qingshan said, I was shocked: "Damn! There are still such monsters in the world! ”

Wen Qingshan nodded: "The Komodo Dragon is a super killing machine at the top of the food chain, with a very wide range of recipes, and can hunt all kinds of animals in different environments. ”

"Preying on a wide variety of animals? Could it be that this hellish place is really infested with such terrifying monitor lizards? ”

"It's unlikely, although the Komodo dragon lives in the tropics, it likes yin and yang, and it can't do without water, and the environment in this area is too dry for Komodo dragons to live."

As soon as Wen Qingshan's words fell, Long Yi said slowly: "That's not necessarily! Maybe there really is a monitor lizard in this hellish place that is similar to the Komodo dragon, or even more terrifying. ”

Long Yi's words surprised everyone, and Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked, "Why does Brother Long Yi think so?" ”

Long Yi turned his head to look at everyone, and said, "You don't know, there are actually relevant records about the Lop Nur monitor lizard. ”

"What do you say! There really are monitor lizards in this place of the hell!? ”

Long nodded and continued: "This is a top secret, in the seventies of the last century, the military personnel in charge of radiation detection after the nuclear explosion found many man-eating monitor lizards several meters long in an underground cave in Lop Nur, and at that time it was thought that a local desert lizard called Dogskin Yellow had mutated due to nuclear radiation, and in order to prevent the situation from worsening, a second nuclear explosion was carried out there. ”

After listening to Long Yi's story, the old ghost on the side couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the second nuclear explosion not only did not wipe out this man-eating monitor lizard, but the situation seems to be more serious." ”

Long Yi waved his hand and said, "No! If there really are man-eating monitor lizards here, it proves that this monitor lizard is not caused by the mutation of dog skin yellow due to nuclear radiation, because the nuclear explosion site is nearly 100 kilometers away from here, and this area is not affected by nuclear radiation. ”

Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned: "You mean to say that this kind of man-eating monitor lizard may have existed in the first place?" ”

Long Yi turned to Batur and asked, "Brother Batur, how long have the legends about this Death Valley been circulating in this area?" ”

Batur replied, "I don't know exactly how long, but my grandfather's generation said that there are devils in this valley of death, and once it gets dark, you must not enter the valley." ”

"Since this legend has been circulating for a long time, it means that the monsters that haunt the valley have nothing to do with nuclear explosions."

"If that's the case, could this man-eating monitor lizard come from an underground cave?" Wen Qingshan analyzed.

"Quite possibly! And the environment inside this underground cave should still be relatively humid for man-eating monitor lizards to survive. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately thought of the "Wandering Lake Theory" about Lop Nur, and hurriedly said: "Didn't Brother Aishan say that there is a very huge underground lake under Lop Nur, shouldn't there be a cave leading to that underground lake in this area!?" ”

Wen Qingshan patted his head: "Don't say it, there is really such a possibility!" This valley was a river in ancient times, and then the river dried up to become what it is now, and the source of the original river is the underground lake! ”

"Great! Isn't it true that Professor Dong and the others are very likely to have entered the underground cave, if we find the entrance, we may be able to find them! "I finally saw a glimmer of hope.

As soon as my words fell, Wen Qingshan said with a solemn expression: "If this is the case, I am afraid that they will be more auspicious." ”

"Why?"

Wen Qingshan glanced at the white bones scattered all around, and then turned his head to look at me: "What do you say?" ”

I immediately understood what he meant, and exclaimed, "You mean they may have encountered a man-eating monitor lizard!?" ”

"Don't talk so much, we need to find this cave entrance quickly!"

Everyone didn't dare to delay any longer, so they immediately got into the car, and the convoy continued to move forward.

The convoy kept moving forward at a speed of one or twenty kilometers per hour, and everyone stared at both sides of the ravine with wide eyes, and whenever anyone found the hole, no matter how big or small, they would immediately stop the car and go to check it.

After two or three hours, the convoy marched for almost thirty or forty kilometers, but still could not find the entrance to the underground cave, nor did it reach the end of the ravine, but it found a shriveled lizard tail, even if the lizard tail had completely dried up, the diameter of the thickest part was still the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, so it can be seen that there is indeed a huge monitor lizard in this area, but where this monitor lizard is hidden is a mystery.

The convoy continued to move forward and came to a relatively spacious area, because it was noon at this time, it was extremely hot, and the engine of the car was overheated due to the long-term low-speed driving.

After getting out of the car, Chen Biao immediately asked a team of special combat team members to start setting up tents and setting up camps, which made me feel a little surprised and asked puzzledly: "How do you set up a camp in this place?" ”

Ryuichi explained: "I think it won't be a matter of time to find the entrance to the cave, so it's better to camp on the spot and look for it slowly." ”

When Batur heard this, he was shocked: "You mean, we still have to spend the night here?" ”

The dragon nodded.

Batur immediately waved his hand and said, "This is absolutely not good!" This place is too dangerous at night, and the reason why our expedition team has had an accident for more than ten years is because it ...... at night."

With Aishan on his side, Batur didn't finish his sentence so as not to touch his wounds again, but he couldn't have understood what he meant, all in all, Death Valley after night was full of danger!

However, Ryuichi didn't think so, he said, "Isn't it just a man-eating monitor lizard, if it really comes, it would be best if we can find the entrance to the underground cave through the guò monitor lizard." No matter how powerful these monitor lizards are, they can't be able to beat the bullets. ”

"What if there was something more terrifying besides the monitor lizard?" Batur said worriedly.

Long Yi glanced at him and said, "As the so-called soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth, since we are here, we have to find out what monsters are in this place!" If Brother Batur is scared, I can arrange for a vehicle to take you and Brother Aishan away, but I'm sure you want to know the truth more than we do. ”

Long Yi's words reached Batur's heart, he didn't speak for a long time, and after looking down and thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "Then let's stay here for one night and see what is there!" ”

The tent was quickly set up, and Chen Biao led the special combat team members to build an earthen wall about two feet high with sand around the camp, and the camp was arranged like a defensive position. Looking at this posture, they are planning to do a big job tonight, and I can't help but feel a little nervous, and I don't know what will appear at that time.

It was too hot outside, so everyone went into the tent to rest, and after about two hours, there was a sound of helicopter propellers coming from above our heads, and it turned out that Ryuichi had sent a helicopter from headquarters.

The helicopter landed in an open space about a dozen meters away from us, and I saw clearly that it was a helicopter gunship, with many gun barrels on the fuselage, and it seemed to be full of firepower.

The propeller of the helicopter gradually stopped rotating, and Long Yi and Chen Biao immediately walked towards the helicopter. They walked to the helicopter, and without knowing what to say to the people on board, the helicopter soon took off again and flew along the ravine.

After the two of them came back, Wen Qingshan asked, "What is that helicopter doing here?" ”

Long Yi smiled and said: "I asked the helicopter to go to the front to explore the road to see how long this ravine is, and in addition, if we encounter any difficult situation tonight, this helicopter can provide us with strong fire support." ”

Hearing Long Yi say this, I suddenly felt a lot more relieved in my heart, and I felt that the helicopter seemed to be a powerful backing. It's just that what I didn't expect was that sometimes, the "backing" was not so reliable.
