At this time, Wenmo stepped forward to help me up, I wanted to rub the painful position on my body, but when I raised my hand, I found that my whole body was hurting, and I didn't know where to rub it at all!

I couldn't help grinning, and the half of my face that fell to the ground immediately felt like a pinprick in pain, and I raised my hand and touched it gently, and it was wet. I was shocked, it's over, will it break the phase!

Wen Mo saw that I was fine, so he let me go and looked around. I also noticed that this should be another underworld temple, but I don't know why the ground is built like this, and a huge "pool" was dug directly here, could it be that King Shan Huan liked to take a bath during his lifetime, so he built a big bath here! This is completely unreasonable! Could it be that I am thinking too much, and this place is just formed by natural collapse?

Wenmo and I first walked straight to the edge of the big pit, and found that the edge of the big pit was straight and neat, indicating that this place either collapsed naturally or was specially built by man. I can't understand this even more! What does it mean to dig a big hole here for no reason?

I asked Wenmo, "Why is this place built like this?" Wen Mo shook his head, "I don't know." ”

We continued to walk along the edge, which was about three people tall, and I roughly estimated that it was about six meters, a height that might not trap Wenmo, but I certainly couldn't climb it. I hope to be able to find a way up there.

We walked a little further, and there was a carving on the stone wall of the pit, but there was only one, and it was very simple. There are two people on the picture, one with four eyes and fangs on the wall, which is obviously the patron saint that Wenmo said was worshiped in the Western Regions back then-Ali Merk. And the person next to him has a human face and a bird's beak and two wings on his back, and he is obviously the leader of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom. On the carving, the two men broke through the ground and rushed straight down.

Seeing this, I wondered in my heart, and said to myself: "Could it be that the leader of this Shan Huan Country still knows Ali Mock at the instigation of Ali Mock, and the two of them have fought together?" Isn't Ali Merck a god? ”

Wen Mo heard it and said: "Actually, this is a kind of praise, the meaning of this painting is to compare the king of Shan Huan to the patron god Ali Mock instigation, in order to praise his great achievements, just like in the tombs of princes in the Central Plains, there are often fairy music ascending to heaven, in which fairies play music, the gods greet them, and the scene of divine beasts dancing, which only highlights the sages of the tomb owner." Not a fact. ”

I nodded, "The customs of this place are different from those of the Central Plains, we are all looking forward to ascending to heaven over there, but this place is painted into the ground, it's really strange!" ”

Wen Mo pointed to the black patterns in the semicircle at the bottom of the picture, "And here, there must be some kind of special meaning, but what it represents, we can't verify now." ”

We looked away from the mural and were about to move on, but suddenly, I saw behind us, near the center of the pit, a large black bulge, which seemed to be a rock jutting out of the ground, but from this distance I could see that it was very smooth.

Apparently Wenmo had noticed that thing as well, so the two of us walked over cautiously together.

We walked over to the thing, raised our hands and lit it up, and when we saw the true face of the thing in the flashlight, I froze, and at the same time, a deep chill welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but mutter, "Oh my God! There really is such a thing in the world! ”

I saw that bulge on the ground, and it turned out to be a human-faced beetle the size of a bathtub! The moment I saw it clearly, I felt a softness under my feet, and I immediately felt the urge to turn around and run!

But seeing that Wen Mo was still watching calmly, I forcibly held back, raised the flashlight and continued to look at it. That's when I noticed that this giant beetle, its tentacles were hanging from the ground, and we were so close that it didn't move, and it was obvious that this beetle was dead!

This made me sigh of relief, and I dared to seriously observe this giant beetle like a prehistoric monster. "Holy! This is the ancestor of those beetles! How many years will it take to grow to this size! I thought it was only in the age of dinosaurs that there would be such giant insects! If scientists know about this, this will be a great discovery of the century in the scientific community! "After knowing that this beetle was dead, my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and I dared to vent the emotion and shock in my heart!

Wen Mo looked up and down at this big guy like a movie prop, "In fact, there are some animals, their body size is lifelong growth, as long as there is enough food and space, and then assuming that it has a long enough life, then they can theoretically grow to infinity." ”

I've heard of this theory before, of course, it's only a hypothetical theory, but in fact, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the laws of nature have ensured the equilibrium of the biosphere on Earth. For example, the human-faced beetle in front of us, although they can grow for life, but first of all, their lifespan is limited, even if it will be very long, even hundreds or thousands of years, but there must be a limit, and it is also a limit in nature. And there is also a very important point, as the size of this beetle continues to increase, the energy it needs is also increasing exponentially, when it grows to a certain degree, its daily energy absorption is no longer enough to support its continued body needs, then its growth will stagnate, which is also a means of control in nature.

The survival of the fittest in nature is extremely terrible and cruel, and the extinction of dinosaurs is generally the same, too large in size, too large in energy consumption, which leads to extremely poor resistance to catastrophe, and finally dominates the dinosaurs in the test of nature, was eliminated, and the smaller and smaller animals with small consumption have become the dominant part of the earth's biosphere.

I believe that such a huge human-faced beetle, even if it survives until now, it is the end of the road, they can only exist in this specific environment, and they have long been unable to adapt to the outside world.

My mind was wandering when I suddenly saw Wen Mo stretch out his hand and forcefully retreat the corpse of the giant beetle.

I looked curious, so I asked him, "What are you doing?" ”

Wen Mo didn't speak, he pointed to the bottom of the giant beetle, and I looked at it and found that there was a black hole under the giant beetle's body. When the flashlight shines into it, you can't tell its depth at all.

I looked at the deep hole and said, "What is this hole for?" ”

Wenmo looked at me, "Maybe it's the nest of that giant beetle?" ”

I was chilled by him, "Big brother, don't scare me!" You're not trying to say that there's going to be a giant beetle crawling out of here in a moment?! ”

Wenmo still looked at me, didn't speak, reached out and took out a few glow sticks from his bag, broke them with his hand, the faint green light lit up, Wen Mo reached out and threw these glow sticks into the hole.

The hole was obviously not straight down, there were many bends in the middle, and the glowsticks scattered around one of the corners of the deep hole. I looked down nervously, but after looking at it for a while, there was basically no change in the cave, and it seemed that even if this cave was a giant beetle's cave, it should have been abandoned with the death of this beetle.

I was about to turn around and leave, when I saw the glow stick at the bottom go out. Hey, the glowstick didn't go out so quickly! No, it's not that the glowstick is off, it's that it's blocked by something, and something is coming up underneath! Gradually, all the glowsticks were obscured, and after a while, they reappeared one after another, judging from the time the glowsticks were blocked, the thing that climbed up below would not be much smaller than the dead giant beetle!

I looked at Wenmo in shock and annoyance, "What is that?" Did your glowstick lure it up? ”

Wen Mo shook his head with a solemn expression, "This has nothing to do with me, it will come after all, I just found out in advance." ”

I jumped up all at once, "So what are you waiting for!" Run! ”

Wen Mo stood up straight and looked around, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out for a while, the best way is to hide first." ”

I looked around anxiously, "But where can I hide!" I removed the magazine of the pistol and looked at it, then put it on again, and pulled the bolt with a "brush", "Uncle!" No matter how big it is, it's a bug! I don't believe it can be harder than a bullet! ”

Wen Mo stretched out his hand to stop me, "Even if you can easily kill these giant beetles, the sound of gunfire and the liquid in the bodies of these beetles will attract the huge number of human-faced beetles just now, and that is the most threatening." ”

I nodded, it is true, are these beetles very colony-conscious, If I kill their ancestors, countless insects and insects will definitely break me into pieces, thinking of those overwhelming beetle army, I can't help but shudder.

The thing in the cave was getting closer and closer, I stood up, looked around, Wenmo reached out and took out several glow sticks from his bag, broke them hard, scattered them around the cave entrance, and then ran into the darkness on the other side with me.

Thankfully, there were some broken stones scattered on the ground here, some broken carvings, and a few huge stones more than half a man tall at the edge. Wenmo and I quickly stepped over the gravel and got into the middle of the boulders.

The two of us held our breath and looked nervously through the crack in the stone, looking nervously at the place where the green light lingered not far away. And in the middle of this green light is the location of the cave entrance.

Gradually, the corpse of the giant beetle above the entrance of the cave moved, shuddering and moving to the side, and it was obvious that something was moving against it underneath, and my eyes widened at once, and the back of my neck was cold.
