Chapter 10: Vampire Bats
Chapter 10: Vampire Bats
The three of them walked into the cave cautiously, the more they walked in, the darker the light, and saw that there were countless terrible white bones along the way, I don't know if it was human bones or what kind of animal bones, the yin wind rushed towards them, with a rustling sound, which made people feel more and more creepy, and I don't know if there is a legendary "earth axis" in it. The further they walked in, the dimmer the light became, and the more uneasy they became, full of mystical thoughts, looking at everything hazy, and feeling that everything was full of strangeness and mystery.
At this time, they were walking forward, and suddenly they heard a terrible strange cry in front of them, and they looked at the sound, as if they saw a monster circling there, as if it was struggling desperately, shaking its head and tail for a while, shaving hooves and joy, jumping and jumping for a while, and then letting out a terrible roar of almost despair, as if it had been attacked by a foreign enemy. They were surprised that they didn't see any strange monsters attacking it, and depending on the situation, it didn't fight any monsters, because they didn't see any scars on its body, only it was tossing around.
They felt even more strange for it, the beast seemed to be self-harming, still spinning in circles with itself, jumping wildly like crazy, shaking its head and falling its head, like a mad cow disease roaring wildly, from the time of the madness and irritability, gradually became trembling, like an old man who had run out of oil and lamp, panting, not gaining strength, staggering, and finally lost the ability to struggle, and screamed powerlessly, and fell down with a "plop" sound, panting and trembling.
They were even more curious, and did not know what was going on, but when they got closer, they looked closer, and found several large living creatures, like bats, crawling on top of it, and guessed that it was most likely that the monster, like the horses that had entered Death Valley, had strayed into the cave and been attacked by those bat-like animals.
Liu Changsheng said: "How do I look at the thing lying on that beast and refusing to leave looks like a bat, it seems to be greedily sucking that guy's blood, is there still a blood-sucking bat in this world? Besides, this is the first time I have seen such a big bat." ”
Zheng Ming said: "Yes, there are indeed blood-sucking bats in the world, and they are also unique blood-sucking species among mammals, distributed in central and southern America, small in size, with a maximum weight of no more than 30-40 grams, the skull and teeth have been highly specialized, and the cheek teeth tend to decrease in number and size, which is the most specialized species." Its upper canines are particularly large, knife-shaped, and have unusually sharp 'cuts'. Its molars are small and infunctional, but its thumb is particularly long and strong, and its hind limbs are even more powerful and powerful, and it can run quickly on the ground, even in danger, and can jump short distances.
"Vampire bats are also strong in flight, tailless, with nasal lobes, belonging to the family Leafnose bats, and are a veritable blood-feeding group. Vampire bats have a longer lifespan, with an average lifespan of 12 years. In general, a vampire bat sucks about 100 litres of blood in its lifetime. It is said that there have been successive incidents of vampire bats biting people in the Peruvian Amazon, causing great panic among the local population. Children are often bitten by vampire bats, and children who are sucked by them often get rabies attacks and die.
"The reason why vampire bats love to bite children to suck blood, is because children's defense ability is weak, it is often when you are asleep or not paying attention, like a thief sneaking close to you, like a scalpel with canine teeth to gently cut a small hole in your body, not eager to suck your blood, but like the primary vampire like first observe your reaction, if you are discovered, before you react will run away, if you are still asleep and indifferent, ignore it, it dares to rest assured to suck your blood, until it is full, so children are vulnerable to vampire bats, and they dare not invade adults, is adults have a strong defense ability, often in vain, it is difficult to absorb the blood of adults.
"In order to prevent the blood of the sucked person from clotting and not sucking blood, the vampire bat will secrete an anti-blood clotting substance, which sticks out of its mouth like a catheter inserted into the wounded knife of the sucked person, and the blood of the sucked person will be continuously sent to the stomach of the vampire bat. Vampire bats don't look small in size, but they are unusually cunning, different from our common bats, it first cuts an opening on the sucked person and does not suck blood, that is, it is afraid that the sucked person will be alert, and the shot will be hurt out of vigilance, if it is found to be in danger, it will escape without a trace before you shoot, so it is difficult to catch it. But what I don't understand is that the bat we see in front of us is not the vampire bat I am talking about, because it is not only larger, but also its face shape is different from the vampire bat I said, it looks like a pig's face, I don't know what it ......is."
Lausanne said: "You read that right, it is indeed a large bat in Kunlun Mountain, its scientific name is the leaf mouth tooth bat, also known as the pig-faced big bat, its nature is the most bloodthirsty, but also carnivorous, is the rarest and most vicious species of bats." The white bones seen along the way may have been the victims of the bats who had strayed into this cave, and they sucked up their blood and ate the flesh.
"You see that the bat's coat is dark brown, similar to other types of bats, but its face is very strange, with two diamond-shaped ears straight and straight, a round head and a round brain, even the nose is round, the forelimbs are very developed, the upper arms, forearms, metacarpals, and phalanges are extraordinarily long, and the teeth and claws are sharp, and they are very ugly. Its upper canines are extraordinarily large and knife-shaped, with unusually sharp 'knife edges'. The molars are small and infunctional, the thumb is long and strong, and the hind limbs are strong, and they can run quickly on the ground, and even jump short distances, like breakdancing, these characteristics are the same as you said.
"It's capable of emitting high-frequency sound waves, which become its flight direction finder, and this high-frequency sound wave is beyond the scope of human hearing. Humans can only hear these sound waves if they are slowed down to 1/8 of the frequency."
Liu Changsheng said from Lausanne that the bat can emit high-frequency sound waves, and thinking of the preciousness and importance of the password buckle left by Kong Xiujuan in the past, it is no wonder that so many people covet this password buckle and want to try their best to get it, because whoever can get it will be able to develop the world's cutting-edge advanced electromagnetic weapons in advance, which will destroy your combat effectiveness and paralyze the national hub without you knowing.
He thought of the whereabouts of the password buckle so far, the disappearance of Li Jian, and the things that he and Zheng Ming experienced in living and dying together, and now he came here to find his son Liu Yong, but he was led by Jia Yunfei into the Valley of Death, stepped into the gate of hell, and did not see the axis of the earth, but saw the rampant ravages of the vampire bats, I don't know how many more ...... ahead
Zheng Ming interrupted his thoughts and said, "Those big bats are sucking blood on the body of that beast, you can see the beast jumping, and you can hear its screams, why don't you see the blood flowing from the beast's body?"
Lausanne said: "Because this pig-faced bat is the same as the vampire bat you mentioned, it has anticoagulants in its saliva, and it also gently cuts a hole in its mouth on its beast, and then sucks blood with its mouth, and uses the anticoagulant in its saliva to stop the coagulation of the blood from the beast, because when it sucks blood, it sticks into its mouth like a tube, and it will not make the blood in the beast's body flow out of the wound." If one or two bats suck blood, the monster will probably not be able to notice it for a while, because there are many bats that suck its blood, and it is actually a group, of course, it is unbearable, and maybe there will be a pig-faced big bat flying in. ”
Sure enough, a chaotic scream could be heard, and a group of large bats with black faces flew innumerable, scrambling to fly down, squirting the blood of the beast. Now the beast was dying, and its life was in danger, and it was already trembling and struggling, and it had no strength to cry, but it was at the mercy of its slaughter, and finally died of blood. They sucked all the blood out of the beast's body, and their bellies were so big that they clinged to the cracks in the rock with their sharp claws, and urine trickled down from their bodies.
"They sucked up the blood of the beast, and their stomachs were so difficult to fly that they could not fly, so in order to reduce the weight of their bodies, they compressed the blood they sucked into their bodies and excreted the water in their blood," said Lausanne. You see, some bats are hanging on one leg, and that's when they're sleeping......"
As he was talking, he heard a chaotic scream, and saw another batch of black and countless large bats flying innumerable, and landed on the beast one after another, seeing that there was no blood to suck, so he snatched its flesh, and in an instant, it made a rustling sound like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves, and it was as fast as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and it was not a big deal, the huge body of the beast was eaten by them, and only a pile of white bones was left behind, so cruel, it was shocking.
Lausanne said: "It is said that these pig-faced bats are all witches who do all kinds of evil, and when they shed their skin at night, they become a fireball, hiding in a secluded corner, and when they have the opportunity, they will fly to people and animals to suck blood, which can really be described as cruel vampires......"
Liu Changsheng couldn't help but think of one thing for this, that is, a group of travelers went to Gansu through a cave, stayed there at night, and died mysteriously, and there were no scars from the deceased's body that were bitten by wild beasts, only found that the deceased's brain and body had needles and eyes that were not easy to find, and they all thought that it was a devil, and they all changed color for the sake of talking, and they did not dare to pass by here.
In order to find out the truth, a bold scientist prepared a large iron box containing ultraviolet equipment and a sight hole, and then jumped into it himself, and asked people to cover it tightly, and during the day, let the iron box and him go to the mysterious hole of death, and then everyone left. In the evening, he heard a group of chaotic screams in the iron box, some of which landed on the iron box and made scratching sounds, and through ultraviolet observation, he realized that the mysterious death of those people was actually done by these vampire bats.
He was thinking when suddenly a swarm of bats flew towards them. Zheng Ming panicked and said, "It seems that they are flying to attack us and want to suck our blood, what should we do?"
