Chapter 075: Stagnant Swamp
Zhou Jian took out the GPS locator from his backpack again, and the locator showed that he had been walking west before, so could it be that there was a problem with the north needle?
This American-style compass is a special product for jungle hunters, the quality is absolutely passable, and it uses advanced nano batteries as the power source, which can be used for more than ten years without recharging.
Is there magnetite nearby? Is the compass malfunctioning due to the interference of the magnetic field?
Zhou Jian looked in the direction of the compass, which was the very center of the backwater swamp, and the ghost killer had good eyesight, and Zhou Jian vaguely saw a silver-white hemispherical object there, most of which was buried in the ground, not like a natural thing.
Zhou Jian took out the telescope in his backpack, and when he saw the appearance of the thing, Zhou Jian was stunned, it was an artificial metal hemisphere, the surface was as smooth as a mirror, and there was an empty groove in the center of the ball, and a strange symbol was carved into a strange symbol around the groove with hollowed out metal, like a secret totem.
Zhou Jian was slightly stunned when he saw this symbol, that wasn't it...... Is the logo of the online game "Gods and Demons"?
What's going on? Does this symbol represent a country or a power? Is it the boss behind "Gods and Demons"?
Zhou Jian had a lot of ideas in his mind, but they were all vetoed, according to his understanding, "Gods and Demons" is jointly operated by several major countries in the world, and the server brain is in space, called "Myth", according to Miss Customer Service, mythology does not seem to be dominated by any country, and "Gods and Demons" is operated independently, does this symbol represent the "myth" of the brain?
Does this have anything to do with your own ghost slayer clone?
Zhou Jian can understand supernatural phenomena, such as what kind of supernatural abilities, traversal, monsters and the like, because after all, human science has only developed for hundreds of years, and it is not strange that there are many things that cannot be explained.
But he can't understand how the fictional things in the online game can jump into reality, this is not a supernatural phenomenon, but an extremely ridiculous thing, the so-called ghost slayer incarnation, the so-called game equipment is just a program made, how can these things become reality?
But this is the case, Zhou Jian had to believe it, and could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and this time he had a faint premonition that what he saw was likely to reveal a shocking secret to him.
Zhou Jian has no shortage of adventurous spirit in his bones, he breaks off a branch from an unknown tree and prepares to go to the backwater swamp to find out.
Legends about swamps swallowing people are ubiquitous in literature, but in fact real swamps are not so exaggerated, and generally rotting mud cannot accumulate indefinitely, because anaerobic bacteria will break down organic matter, and then as the depth increases, the pressure changes, and the water is lost, the deep underground mud will slowly harden. In addition, mud has a great viscosity and buoyancy, and the density of the human body is close to that of water, and it is even smaller than water when taking a deep breath, so it can float in the mud without sinking.
Unfortunately, these are just the norms, in fact, there are always some weird things that happen in nature, such as the uneven distribution of the density of the mud, the weight at the top and the light at the bottom, or simply the mud is empty underneath, and you will sink into it when you step on it.
Once the whole body is submerged in the swamp trap, let alone crawl out, even if someone pulls it, it can't pull it out.
Zhou Jian tapped the sludge with a twig as he cautiously walked forward, the air was filled with a foul smell, the bones of animals floating in the backwater bay were still rotten and rotten, but strangely even flies and vultures did not want to come here to enjoy the delicious meal at their fingertips.
At this time, if someone sees this scene here, they will be dumbfounded, and Zhou Jian, who is invisible, can not be seen by others, so he can only see a piece of wood knocking forward.
Zhou Jian was wary of the danger that might appear at any time, he imagined that a sludge monster might suddenly emerge from the mire, or inhale some poisonous gas, but nothing happened until he walked up to the metal ball.
The diameter of the metal hemisphere was about two meters, and most of it was buried in the ground, which surprised Zhou Jian that in such a dirty environment, there was not even a single mud spot on the surface of the metal ball.
Zhou Jian looked at it for a while, then hesitantly stretched out his hand and touched the ball, the cold and smooth feeling was like mercury.
This thing can't be a projectile, right?
Realizing this, Zhou Jian shuddered in his heart, if ordinary people were irradiated by radioactive materials, it was likely to cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and body ulceration, and it was estimated that the armor of the ghost slayer's clone would not have any defense against radioactive materials......
Zhou Jian decided to investigate quickly, and then left as soon as possible, he didn't feel anything when he was irradiated by radioactive materials, but it was very likely that he would die afterwards.
He walked around the ball, and soon found a bone on the ground, picked it up, and was shocked that it was actually a human hand bone.
Zhou Jian dug in the ground with a tree branch to see if he could dig up other bones, but he couldn't find it after digging for a while.
A severed hand, a metal ball that didn't seem to be in any danger, Zhou Jian touched his chin, and couldn't think of any connection between the two.
He shifted his gaze to the metal engraving on the surface of the sphere, Zhou Jian looked closely and suddenly found that this logo was a little less than the logo of the "Gods and Demons" game, in the center of the "Gods and Demons" game logo was a blue spar, and the center of the metal engraving should have appeared where the blue spar should have appeared but there was only an empty groove, could it be that the spar was once placed here, but it was stolen?
Why did the man steal the spare? Did he meet it by chance, or did he come here for the hedron?
What exactly is this metal orb, and what does it have to do with the game Gods and Demons?
This thing can't be a brain "myth" that fell out of space, right?
Zhou Jian had no clue in his mind, he continued to investigate, and found nothing, so he could only give up and return along the original path.
Exiting the Blackwater Swamp, Zhou Jian used a GPS locator to write down the latitude and longitude here, although he didn't find any secrets here, but it didn't hurt to write it down.
It's not too early to see the sky, Zhou Jian now wants to vomit when he thinks of continuing to walk through the Amazon forest, stuffy, humid, muddy, these are nothing, all kinds of disgusting and colorful insects are burrowing in the dead branches and leaves, making people's scalp tingle when they see it, and the sneak attack that may appear at any time makes people sleep with one eye open.
But for the snake gall of the mutant forest python, Zhou Jian still went hard, he has been walking along the tributaries of the Madella River these days, although this river that does not even have a name is only a tributary of the Amazon River tributaries, but because of the rich precipitation in the tropical rainforest, the river is wider than most rivers in China, and the mutant forest python belongs to the anaconda, and has almost stayed in the water all his life, and the probability of finding them in the river is the greatest.
