191. Monsters can also be tempting
Hao Dong was speechless, to say that he really didn't think that Ergou would be so uncommon-sense, but this babbling character is sometimes really helpless.
I probably felt helpless about Ergou, and it was rare for Qi Jue, who was mixed at such a time, to open his mouth in a solemn tone: "Mutation." ”
A normal sea centipede is only about one meter at most, and it is impossible for it to grow so huge, so there must be something wrong with it!
Although Ergou talks a lot of nonsense, he is not idle in his hands. Zhao Zheng had already pulled out the gun before, but he stopped him. At this time, he took the sleeve quiver in his hand again: "Since it is a sea centipede, it shouldn't be able to carry the anesthetic, right?" ”
One of their long-range weapons is a gun, the second is Hao Dong's Liulan, and the third is Ergou's sleeve arrow.
There are a number of guns, and one less is used; I don't know if the poison in Liulan will cause an accident against the giant creatures below the water's surface, and now is not the time to waste time trying; In the end, all that was left was Ergou's Hidden Arrow.
It's a pity that although the idea is very good, in fact, the reality will always slap you in the face.
The second dog went down with an arrow and found that something was wrong: "Damn! Does this thing have a shell? ”
Not only is there a shell, but the shell is also very hard.
Because Ergou immediately copied out his fish intestines, loosened the rope buckle on his waist close to the water, and rowed towards the nearest giant sea centipede, but only heard a piercing scraping sound, and the sea centipede had nothing to do.
Ergou finally gave these giant beasts in the water a goal, if he hadn't crawled back along the rope immediately, once the things that didn't react too quickly underneath completely surrounded him, it would be lively.
At this moment, sweat also oozed from his forehead: "The water here has a short interval between ups and downs, why don't we go back first?" Wait until you figure out how to deal with these things? ”
The queen hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to agree with Ergou's opinion, but Qi Jue opened her mouth again: "No." ”
He had already pulled out the deception, and the sword body was still glowing with a dignified sword light in the dim light of the cave.
"Five minutes. You go back first. ”
Xiao Qi Ye said five minutes, then it will definitely not exceed this time limit.
Hao Dong also quickly understood why Qi Jue asked them to retreat.
Because Qi Jue directly released the rope buckle and jumped into the water, the flowers immediately exploded in the water, and these several meters long things tossed up, and the water waves they shot were absolutely earth-shattering.
Hao Dong and the others had all retreated to the elevator passage at this time, but the waves set off below still easily slapped them all over. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe, but the water of the lake at a depth of about one meter can stir up such a big wave.
Qi Never went down with any lighting, he had already stimulated the potential state of his body. Although the crystal-red left eye was completely inconspicuous in the darkness, Hao Dong knew that that eye must once again reflect the mesmerizing starlight.
Because the waves were too big, Qi Jue's movements below couldn't be seen clearly. Only a vague humanoid afterimage can be seen quickly dodging and moving in the small space, and the silver-white streamer set off by the frost forms an eye-catching dance of light.
The big guys didn't scream, and the battle didn't make any noise except the sound of the waves, but the intensity was obvious to all.
Not to mention Zhao Zheng, who watched Qi Jue's battle up close for the first time, even Hao Dong felt that Xiao Qi Ye was simply a god!
In particular, his eyesight allows him to capture some details more than others: the subtle angle of twisting dodges the huge tail from behind; The harrier in mid-air can directly cut the back of a giant sea centipede!
The animal itself is invertebrate, and the nerve nodes throughout the body control the way the body moves; To ensure that exercise is effective, you need to rely on your own skeletal system.
They do not have bones in the conventional sense, only exoskeletons that surround the body surface, that is, carapaces; Supports a small part of the endoskeleton of the muscles; and a large and most important number of hydroskeletons.
The so-called water bone arm is the body fluids in the coelum itself, and the part of the muscles that connect with these body fluids and cooperate with the movement of the body with the help of the surge of body fluids.
Strictly speaking, these giant sea centipedes don't look like sea centipedes anymore, their exoskeletons are particularly developed, that is, Qi Jue, a kind of Hercules plus a real frost that sharpens iron like mud, can be so quietly cut away.
However, their inner structure is still similar to that of ordinary wriggling animals, and the main movement depends on water bones.
So it's impossible to knock these things unconscious, but if you dissect them directly, you can destroy their locomotor system, so even if you can't die for the time being, you can't move anymore.
When the waves finally calmed down, what everyone saw in front of them was seven or eight huge gadgets lying under the water, which had been disemboweled, and completely incapacitated.
At this time, it was less than ten minutes before the water level they had calculated would start to rise.
Fortunately, this time the door was not difficult to find, and it was opened on the wall of the cave. After everyone cleaned the mud from the door, not long after closing the door, they heard the sound of rumbling water outside.
To be honest, the situation of this underground river is really too weird, and even Hao Dong himself has reserved his opinion in his heart. He always felt that this was not a serious natural underground river, although he couldn't remember more details for the time being.
The passage at the door is finally straight, but it is still very deep, and you can't see the bottom when the strong flashlight shines into it.
However, this is an artificial passageway, and the lights are easy to find on the walls on both sides. It's a pity that there is no electricity here, and it can't be used if there is a lamp.
The air in the passage is in good condition, although there is a smell, but it is not impossible to breathe.
I don't know what the situation is when I go further in, and everyone's physical strength is also very much consumed by this toss, and the time is actually past nine o'clock in the evening, the queen thought about it and decided to rest here at the entrance of the passage for a few hours to replenish her physical strength.
When it comes to rest, it's impossible to actually lie down and sleep.
After all, although their physical strength has been depleted to a certain extent, it is the time when their energy is at the beginning of their actions. Resting now is nothing more than trying to achieve a better physical recovery, which can adjust the best state of the body.
So in this way, it is impossible for some people to stay where they are honestly, such as Ergou.
After Hao Dong came in, he began to vaguely feel the sense of familiarity and immediacy, but this time the feeling was very ethereal, and he couldn't grasp it for a while, so he consciously went to dig out his bag and planned to cook dinner for everyone.
There is no firewood to pick up in this place, so you can only use an alcohol stove. Naturally, it is impossible to make things as rich as those on the ground, at most you can mix them with a few cans until they taste better, and then add a hot one.
As a result, Hao Dong hadn't started to do it yet, and the second dog suddenly thought: "Can the dead sea centipede outside still be eaten?" ”
The lake outside had risen and fallen a few more times, and in addition to the corpses of the giant sea centipedes that had not all been washed away, there were new additions.
Ergou looked a little enthusiastic when he saw Qi Jue fighting, and he was a little unwilling that he couldn't beat that thing, so after the queen decided to rest, he went out with his fish intestines again.
Not to mention, it is probably the so-called where there is a will, there is a way, and after a few times, he was really led to the shore smoothly, and then cut it horizontally from the joint.
Although it wasn't so easy to die, and its head and tail were still moving, the middle body looked quite similar to ordinary seafood after cutting off the outer ring of gastropod-like bristles.
That's why the second dog moved his mind to eat and see.
Of course, Hao Dong didn't dare to agree rashly, he still remembered the big snake outside very clearly, and he knew if this giant sea centipede would have similar ingredients in its body.
The second dog is a thief who does not die. In particular, the meat smells a little fishy and sweet, not only does it not smell strange, but it even has a little salty smell like a sea tide, and it really feels like some kind of seafood.
In the end, he couldn't hold back, went out and grabbed two water rats again, pinched the mouse's jaw, and forced some of this sea centipede meat into them.
The rat's tail was tied in a knot and stepped on the feet of the second dog, desperately trying to run but never able to run. After tossing like this for more than 20 minutes, everyone ate a bowl of canned stew and stew, and Ergou gave the two rats a happy time, and announced his observations:
"It doesn't seem to be poisonous, it should be edible!"
The foodie's persistence is sometimes terrifying.
Hao Dong had no choice but to warn him first: "Fuel and seasonings are very valuable resources, if they don't taste good after a while, you have to eat them all!" ”
The second dog has a hippie smile, as long as you have to eat, you can say anything!
That's what he said, but Hao Dong didn't prepare for it at the beginning.
Ordinary sea centipedes can be used to make soup, porridge, or fried directly. But now this thing is definitely a monster, and God knows if the regular method is suitable, so he only plans to try it first with a little bit.
And the method of trying is naturally the simplest: baking.
Because this thing can be regarded as fresh goods that have just been watered, according to the situation of ordinary seafood, there is no need to use more turmeric wine and the like to remove the fish, and it should taste good if you directly knead some salt and bake it.
Hao Dong didn't use too much seasoning, he directly cut a piece of raw white meat, put a thin iron plate on top of the alcohol stove, and directly spread the meat on it, and then sprinkled it with salt flowers - the iron plate was still dismantled from the bottom of their simple tent, and it had to be installed back after a while.
The meat is indeed amazing, Hao Dong felt a little when he cut it, and the smell seemed to be a bit like a crab. At this time, as soon as it is heated, the aroma of protein wafts out, which is exactly the same as the fragrance of hairy crabs.
Everyone was attracted by this fragrance, and Ergou involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and poked Hao Dong with his arm: "Little mouse, do you have vinegar?" ”
Some particularly sweet fish and shrimp can be eaten with vinegar to bring out the taste of crab meat. Now the meat of this thing smells like crabs, and it is estimated that if you use vinegar to hang the taste again, it will definitely be fresh and people can't stop!
It's just that if you really want to eat, everyone is still very hesitant, and they don't dare to really let Ergou eat alone - if you finish eating, although you are not poisoned, you will have diarrhea or simply allergies, and it will be troublesome!
Seeing that such a fragrant thing was in front of him, but he only showed it and didn't eat it, the second dog complained, and the resentment was so strong that it could almost be concretized. Zhao Zheng couldn't bear this atmosphere a little, and finally took out a gadget from his bag:
"Well, I'll test it."
