Chapter 31: The Strange Deer Corpse
When Li Xuyang and the others encouraged each other to cheer together, and the bodyguard team was also done, and then came to Li Xuyang and the others, waiting for their orders. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it was night, and they couldn't tell where they were, if they were going. I don't know where to go, the compass can't be used, so the only way left is stargazing.
Stargazing and feng shui are related, and among their group, the only one who has access to feng shui is Tong Le. And stargazing to identify the direction, this task can only be handed over to Tong Le.
Tong Le raised his head and looked at the sky, fortunately, it was not so dark. The stars in the sky can be seen clearly. If you want to identify the location, the easiest thing to look at is Orion.
After searching in the air for a while, Tong Le pointed to the Orion above his head and said, "Found it, it's the south." ”
The New Year is just over a month away, and Orion has three of the brightest stars in the middle and four more around it. As the saying goes, "Samsung is south, and the New Year is coming." "When the three stars of Orion are due south, it is almost the New Year.
"Is that the south?" Li Xuyang was a little suspicious, if it was in China, that was true. But now on the other side of the globe - the United States, is the statement of "Samsung due south" still correct?
It should be wrong, now it is night in the United States, and it should be day in China. Of course, although the current Samsung is due south, for the United States, it is due north.
"We are going in the opposite direction, where is it supposed to be the Kalmai Snow Mountain. Li Xuyang said guessingly, he couldn't be sure where it was, so he could only guess.
The others watched Li Xuyang walk south, and they all followed, while those bodyguards protected them all in an encirclement. But it seems that Li Xuyang is more like a superior leader, protected by the guards below.
"There's something somewhere. Li Xuyang held up the glow stick and looked less than two meters in front of him. Something like a branch of dead wood, stuck in the snow.
Li Xuyang walked over quickly, and then looked at it carefully, this thing didn't look like a tree branch. To the horns that are more like animals, there is only one animal that can grow such horns - deer.
He stuck the glow stick on the ground, and then tried to pull out the antlers with both hands, but he couldn't pull them out no matter how hard he tried, probably buried too deep. After Ji Zhe and the others came over, they brought a sapper shovel, and then dug up all the snow around the deer, and the corpse of a deer appeared in front of everyone.
To be precise, the carcass of this deer was not complete. In some places, the fur has fallen off, revealing white bones. In some places, it is intact, that is, the fur on the outside has not been destroyed.
"The deer's death is so weird. ”
Li Xuyang looked at the corpse of the deer and said to the body beside him. Jiang Botong and the others also came over, and then looked at the corpse of the deer that fell to the ground.
"It must have been attacked by some animal, that's why it's like this. Jiang Botong looked at the corpse of the deer, then squatted down and began to inspect the intact skin of the deer, and pressed his hand it, and it was elastic.
"Something is wrong. Jiang Botong said after standing up.
"Yes, it's wrong. Li Xuyang stared at the carcass of the deer and said approvingly. The carcass of a deer is slightly blackened with white bones, but the skin is very elastic. Blackening of the bones is generally a sign of poisoning. If the deer died of poisoning, then the degree of decay of its body should be the same, and there should not be such a situation where some places rot into white bones, and others where they are intact, which is unreasonable.
Then there was the deer's death, which was obviously running, and one of its forelimbs was broken. If you guess, the deer was poisoned, and then when it was chased by some kind of animal, a wolf or a lion, the increased blood flow led to the spread of the toxin.
While the deer was running, the poison flinched, leaving the deer ground. He fractured his forelimbs and was later overtaken by an animal that was chasing him, who then ate his flesh.
Although this explanation is reasonable, it is also unreasonable and contradictory. First of all, if there is an animal attacking behind, whether it is a lion or a wolf, then the carcass of the deer should not have intact skin. It should have been eaten in its entirety, leaving only the skeleton to be reasonable.
The wolf is a social animal, its nature will not eat alone, a few wolves or a dozen wolves, facing this deer, there is simply not enough to eat, how can there be left?
If it is a lion, the lion will not eat alone. Lions usually bite animals to death when they hunt them, then drag their carcasses to their own turf before they start eating. Besides, if there were lions in the vicinity, then they should have appeared a long time ago, and the glow sticks in the hands of Li Xuyang and the others were obvious targets.
The deer's belly was torn open, more like it had been torn open from the inside, and this scene reminded Li Xuyang of the corpses of Nolan and Falk that he had seen in the arsenal room not long ago. The stomachs of their corpses were also torn.
"Is it a human-faced spider?"
Hearing Li Xuyang's exclamation, Ji Zhe asked puzzledly, "What human-faced spider?"
"If the human-faced spider wants to survive, it should also reproduce. But they choose to reproduce differently and instead lay eggs in the human body. Use the human body as the child palace of the human-faced spider, let people reproduce their offspring, they are very smart, when they use people, they will not attack people, and when they lose their use value, they will eat them. Li Xuyang explained.
"Could it be that the location of this deer's exposed bones is not eaten by other animals, but corroded by the blood of those human-faced spiders?"
"yes, that's pretty much it. Li Xuyang said.
"What's next?"
"Go on, don't listen. It's too windy here, and if you don't leave all the time, you'll freeze. After Li Xuyang finished speaking, he beckoned everyone to continue walking.
Just after they left, a juvenile human-faced spider crawled out of the snow, looked at Li Xuyang who was walking in front, and then quietly got into the snow.
After continuing to move forward for I don't know how long, Li Xuyang and the others were tired again, and their eyes were a little heavy. The pace became unusually heavy, and the pace of progress had slowed down more than an hour earlier.
Looking at the sky on the left, which was gradually brightening, Li Xuyang knew that he had not taken the wrong path. They were indeed heading south, and the snow-capped mountains of Karmai appeared in front of them.
"Everyone must hold on, and you must not fall, otherwise you will not be able to stand up at all. Li Xuyang gasped, and every step he took became very difficult for him.
Everyone supported each other and slowly moved on. The snow on the ground is no longer so deep, and it should be that the temperature has risen to a certain extent in the past few days, which has melted the snow here.
From where you stand, you can see that some places on the Kalmai Snow Mountain are still covered with snow, and some places have been exposed. You can see that whenever the wind blows from the bottom of the mountain, it brings snow down the mountain.
"Let's work hard, we have the Kalmai Snow Mountain in front of us, and when we get there, we can rest. ”
That being said, there are still almost a dozen kilometers away from the snow-capped mountains. Behind them, where they hadn't walked, there was a turbulence in the snow, as if something was moving under the snow.
After walking for about half an hour, looking at the snow-capped mountains that were getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts seemed to have put down a thousand pounds of heavy stones.
"Wait. ”
Jiang Botong suddenly felt something behind him, and then turned around abruptly and looked behind him. And when he turned around, the snow surface was quiet again, and all that could be heard was the sound of the wind.
"What's wrong?" Li Xuyang also looked around, and then asked Jiang Botong.
"There is danger approaching. Jiang Botong's eyes were like scanners, carefully scouting the surrounding situation, but when he just looked over, the snow moved.
He immediately fixed his gaze on where it was, then gently took the gun from one of the bodyguards, and after aiming, fired three shots in succession.
As the three bullets were fired, they hit the place where the snow had just moved, and then they pierced out with a scream. The blue, viscous liquid also corroded the nearby snow.
"Human-faced spider?" everyone was surprised when they saw it.
How is that possible? Aren't the human-faced spiders all in that arsenal? And the only exit is blocked, how can they get out?
Jiang Botong returned the gun to the bodyguard, and then said, "Everyone be careful, it seems that the deeper you go into the mountains, the more dangerous it will be, be careful." ”
Even if he didn't say so, no one dared to let their guard down. Not to mention whether there are people in this snowy mountain, if there are, they still need firearms, then their group of people is a very eye-catching live target.
After some more distance, one of the bodyguards lay on the ground, and he could not get up anyway. It seems that even if you die here, you don't want to go on. He knew that if he turned back at this time, then there would be a glimmer of hope for survival, and if he continued to move forward, he would surely die.
"Duret, stand up. The head of the bodyguard came to the bodyguard, carried the gun behind his back, and went to help him.
"Boss, you don't care about me, let's go!" The man didn't want to get up, it looked like even if there was a beautiful woman in front of him, he would have to lie down and rest with money.
Looking at his appearance, Li Xuyang had no choice but to sigh, and then said, "Clean up the snow on the ground, and then rest." ”
The sun hasn't risen yet, so if you sit directly on the snow, it's hard to get up after you've rested. Only clear the snow nearby, then sit on the ground, but spread something on the ground, and do not let your clothes touch the ground directly.
"Look, there's a river ahead. ”
When everyone just sat down, Tong Le pointed ahead and shouted.
