Chapter 463: Seal
Looking at the corpse of the team doctor, Chen Ziyang showed a puzzled expression, and then he sighed very strangely, and slowly squatted down, and looked closer.
More than a dozen long spikes pierced the team doctor's body, and the tips of the spikes were exposed to the outside of the corpse. Chen Ziyang found that where the tips of these spikes came into contact with the team doctor's body, the flesh and skin there seemed to be shriveled. Although the range of the other activities is not very large, only a small circle next to the spikes, which looks very inconspicuous, but this detail was still discovered by him.
Stretching out his hand, after pressing a few times close to the tip of the spike, Chen Ziyang confirmed his thoughts, and at the same time, he also understood that the spikes of these plants should be able to directly absorb human blood.
"I see, it's no wonder." Chen Ziyang thought in his heart. He was still wondering why the team doctor died so quickly. Judging from the position of these spikes through her body, these spikes did not pierce the fatal parts of the team doctor, and because she was lying on these spikes, the team doctor did not shed much blood, and it is impossible that the excessive bleeding hastened her death.
Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei didn't take too long to prepare outside the tree cave, and it only took less than twenty minutes to prepare the magic utensils and bring them to eat. And it should take a little less time for the two of them to get here than it should take for this woman.
In other words, it is too illogical that the team doctor died after only ten minutes after being pierced by a spike.
Now seeing that these spikes can directly absorb people's blood, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that the reason why this team doctor died so quickly was because he was absorbed the essence blood in his body. Just when he was about to turn around and remind Yang Lei to be careful not to let these spikes pierce into his body, Yang Lei's voice came from behind Chen Ziyang.
"Oops...... Can you give people a minimum of respect. Eryang, you say that I am greedy for money all the time, and I only now realize that you are so lustful, and it is even worse than my greed for money. Just now when you were outside the tree hole, you touched the dryad's breasts.
It's good now, you didn't even let go of the dead, this woman is already so pitiful, you still take advantage of her death to grope for others to take advantage, are you embarrassed. ”
After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang was almost so angry that he turned his back on him. After telling Yang Lei what he had found, he rummaged through the team doctor's backpack that had fallen aside, but there was nothing useful in it. But at this time, Yang Lei looked at a corner of the tree hole and was very happy.
A flashlight was stuck in a few spikes in the corner of a tree hole. After taking out this flashlight with a lot of effort, Yang Lei grabbed the flashlight in his hand. After pressing the switch a few times, he found that the flashlight did not have any response, so Yang Lei slapped the flashlight vigorously, and after the slap, a pillar of light came out of the flashlight, and after a few flashes, it stabilized.
"Haha, yes, it can still be used, this flashlight should have been left here by the team doctor when he tripped, fortunately it didn't break, it's really good."
Now for two people, this flashlight can play a very big role. The hollow is very dark and full of spikes, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched by these spikes.
Because there is only a flashlight, it was extremely difficult for two people to walk here before, but now with a second flashlight, even the people walking behind can have enough light sources to illuminate, which will greatly improve the speed of two people.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do here, the two of them hurried and continued to walk deeper into the cave.
After walking for a while, Chen Ziyang found that this tree hole seemed to be wider, this tree hole was very narrow before, and when he and Yang Lei were swapping positions, they needed two people to turn their bodies sideways at the same time to avoid being stabbed by the spikes on both sides. But now the tree hole can accommodate two people to pass side by side.
"This is really strange, the two of us are not walking too slowly, why haven't we seen the shadow of that dryad and Instructor Liu until now, not even Xiao Ren's kid." Yang Lei said strangely.
"yes, I was wondering just now. Needless to say, in this kind of place, no one can catch up with the speed of the Dryad, after all, this is its nest, and the Dryad is not afraid of these spikes, but why is Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren's speed so fast.
If Instructor Liu's speed is so fast, it barely makes sense, after all, after the lizard pattern melted into his body, Instructor Liu's physical strength seems to have increased a little, and his speed is also a lot faster, but why is there no shadow of even Xiao Ren. Chen Ziyang also felt very strange.
"Do you think the two of us are going the wrong way, they are going somewhere else." Yang Lei asked.
"Probably not, although there are a lot of gaps between the roots along the way, but there is no way for people to pass through those gaps. The void was large, but it was covered with long spikes, and they couldn't have gotten into any other void. Forget it, don't worry about it so much, let's speed up a bit. ”
Chen Ziyang, who had just finished saying this, suddenly stopped, he locked the flashlight in one place, and stared at it carefully. Yang Lei also came over and looked at the flashlight.
At this time, Chen Ziyang's flashlight was shining on the side wall of the tree hole not far away, where there was an obvious round object with some strange patterns on it. The pattern is roughly divided into two parts, and except for the two circles in the center, which are close to each other, the rest of the circle is filled with vertical lines.
The patterns on the circular object look like a smiling grimace and some like a totem, and the overall appearance of the circular object feels like a black seal.
Because this round object is very regular and very incongruous with the surrounding messy plant roots and spikes, it was discovered by Chen Ziyang at once.
"Eryang, what is that? It didn't grow out of a tree, but someone put it there. ”
"Do you think this thing sounds familiar? We seem to have seen this pattern somewhere. Staring at this round object, Chen Ziyang didn't dare to act rashly, and whispered to Yang Lei.
"Huh? As soon as you said that, I also found that it seems to be a little familiar, where have you seen it? It should be recently, round things, round things......" Yang Lei muttered to himself while carefully recalling the round things he had seen recently, and then he slapped his head violently.
Chen Ziyang was taken aback by Yang Lei's actions, and he hurriedly turned around to see what kind of demon moth Yang Lei was going to be.
After patting his head, Yang Lei hurriedly put his hand into his pants from the front, groping in his crotch, and then he showed a very laborious expression, and suddenly took out something from his crotch.
"Look, isn't that the thing?" After Yang Lei finished speaking, he shook the things he took out of his crotch at Chen Ziyang.
At this time, Chen Ziyang realized that the thing Yang Lei took out turned out to be the old king's gold belt buckle found in the passage.
This belt buckle is also round, with some hollow patterns on it, after Yang Lei discovered this belt buckle before, Chen Ziyang didn't look at it carefully, just glanced at it roughly, but now when he saw the pattern of this belt buckle, he showed a sudden expression.
There are also two circular patterns in the center of the belt buckle, which are connected by some straight lines and the large circles around them, although the pattern on the belt buckle is rough, but the general meaning is exactly the same as the round object that the two people saw just now.
Chen Ziyang, who just wanted to reach out and take the belt buckle in Yang Lei's hand and take a closer look, suddenly remembered the place where the belt buckle was taken out just now, so he showed a look of disdain and disgust, and retracted his hand.
"Why did you put this thing in your crotch, don't you feel panicked, I seem to smell it from so far away." Chen Ziyang said with a disdainful face.
"You know, it's safe in this place, it makes me feel it there. Let's toss this time, and I have left this little thought, but I must not lose it. It is said that if there is a ditch, there will be fire, and if there is a ditch here, there will be gold, and the gold will not feel panicked when it is placed in the ditch, but will feel hot. ”
After Yang Lei finished saying this, Chen Ziyang only felt a burst of nausea. But then he got his mind down on business.
This gold belt buckle was exclusive to the king of the ancient kingdom of Sumi, and the pattern on the circular object in the hollow of the tree is very similar to the pattern on the belt buckle, and the two cannot be unrelated.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly turned around, and after shining a flashlight on the round object again, he slowly walked forward, ready to take a look at what it was. But at this time, Chen Ziyang found that the round object seemed to move on its own.
This discovery startled Chen Ziyang, and he hurriedly gestured to Yang Lei, who had not seen this scene behind him, and the two of them quickly stopped their movements and stared carefully at the round object in front of them.
After only a few seconds of staring, the round object visibly moved again. And this time Chen Ziyang could see clearly that when the round object was moving, it actually left the root that supported it, and after leaving the root for about a centimeter or two, the round object stayed in the air for a while, and then slowly fell back to the root.
"What's going on?" Chen Ziyang felt very strange, judging from the movement trajectory of this round object just now, this thing actually seemed to be alive.
Just as he was wondering, the round object moved again, and this time by a very large margin.
The round object floated up slowly, and after shaking a few times, it slowly turned around, turning 180 degrees. Seeing the appearance of the round object after it was transmitted, Chen Ziyang understood.
It turned out that the round object was not a seal, but a strange spider the size of a fist. This spider looks very different from ordinary spiders, the first half of the spider is no different from other spiders, but the abdomen of this spider is very strange.
The abdomen of a spider is not spherical but a shape that resembles a cone. The thinner end of the cone is directly connected to the spider's body, and the end of the spider's abdomen, the underside of the cone, is flat, with that strange grimace-like pattern on it. The spider's belly felt like a giant chocolate piece of wine buckled upside down on the spider's body.
"Seal Spider!" Yang Lei shouted in surprise.
"What, you know this spider?" This time it was Chen Ziyang's turn to be surprised. All along, he was explaining those strange things to Yang Lei, but I didn't expect that this time, Yang Lei actually knew something he didn't know.
"A friend of my wife owns a pet shop, I've been there a few times, and I've seen this spider in her pet shop. Because the abdomen of this spider is flat, it has strange patterns on it, and it looks like a seal, so this spider is called a seal spider.
This spider lives in the soil and does not build webs, but it can burrow, and its scientific name seems to be called a coiled spider, and it is now generally kept as a pet. Because this thing is relatively rare and looks weird, I took a closer look at it a few times when I went to the pet store with Hututu. ”
After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang frowned, and then he asked Yang Lei, "How many of these spiders did you see in the pet store?" Are the patterns on the spider's abdomen all the same? ”
"This ...... There are four or five of these spiders in the pet store, but it seems that the patterns on the abdomen of these spiders are not all the same, some spiders have similar patterns, but some of them are very different.
It's as if I heard Tutu's friend say that the pattern of this spider's abdomen can be mated and is hereditary. It's like a Tibetan mastiff, you can also mate some more beautiful patterns, and the price of such a spider is relatively high. Yang Lei replied.
"That's not right. If all of these spider bellies are identical, it would not be surprising that the pattern on the belt buckle is the same as that of this spider's belly.
But as you just said, the patterns of these spider bellies are all different, so why is the pattern of the belt buckle so similar to the pattern of the spider's belly? Isn't it strange that it's carved out of a mold? ”
"Could it be a coincidence?"
"The pattern on the two unrelated things is exactly the same, and the chances of this coincidence are too small, I think there must be some connection between this belt buckle and this spider."
Chen Ziyang, who had just finished saying this, suddenly noticed that a black shadow slowly moved to the vicinity of the seal spider.
