Zhang Haixing poured a shuttle bullet from the muzzle of the gun, and many bullet holes were pierced in the tent.

Through the faint fire in the tent, wisps of black smoke could be seen lingering outside, hovering around the tent.

The fat man cautiously approached Xiao Kong, looked outside, and as soon as he got closer, before he could see clearly, he heard Wu Xie exclaim, "Fat man, be careful!" ”

The fat man subconsciously dodged, only to feel a hot air flow rushing towards his face, and reflexively raised his hand to block it, and there was another sizzling sound, the heat instantly dispersed, and he also felt a steaming hot water in his palm.

Only then did the fat man see clearly that there was a fog outside, and there were countless black shadows faintly shaking in the fog, and the black crows were shrouded around the tent, just like the one that had just been attached to Wu Xie's back.

He gasped in shock, quickly retreated, and said in a low voice: "Hell, the black fog outside is full of the same black shadows just now, where did all these ghost things come from?" ”

The things in the mist have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and after coming into contact with the salt powder left on the fat man's hand, they instinctively scatter and flee around.

Wu Xie reacted and immediately beckoned to everyone, "Everyone, quickly rub salt on your hands, wipe all the exposed skin, and sprinkle salt water on your body!" ”

The fat man hurriedly did so, melted the several packets of salt powder in hot water, stirred it quickly, and sprinkled it on each other with his hands, from head to toe.

The mist spread through the pores, and the black shadow was really afraid, but it clung to the broken tent, the tarpaulin kept sinking inward, and the steel pipe skeleton supporting the tent was creaking and creaking.

The things outside were still lying on it, and in this case, the single holes all over the tarpaulin were even worse, and it was clear that the tent would not last long.

Zhang Haixing quickly replaced the new magazine, stared at the hole vigilantly, and asked Wu Xie, "Have you seen clearly before, what is it?" ”

Wu Xie shook his head, "I didn't see it clearly, it escaped too quickly, but that thing gave me a bit like the forbidden woman in the submarine tomb, but when it was attached to the body, it was a whole large piece, not a strand of hair." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his damp back, and sure enough, he touched the water stains on his hand, and there was a slight temperature, and the feeling of dampness and heat made people very uncomfortable.

His face was a little ugly, and his brows were furrowed, "The firelight is useless against them, the thing that was attached to my back just now is wet, covered in water, and the charcoal fire outside probably made them go out directly." ”

Zhang Haixing twisted her eyebrows, "It's all water, could it be that it crawled out of the hot springs?" ”

The black shadow finally disappeared into the gap at his feet, a very thin piece like paper, and Wu Xie touched the gap with his fingers again, only to find that it was filled with a semi-thick transparent liquid.

He wondered in his heart, could this be the slime left behind by the black shadow after being corroded by salt?

It seemed that the black shadow came out of the crack and then stuck to the person's back.

It's just that the current situation is too passive, and the salt they carry with them is estimated to not last long, and the black shadows outside the tent are endless, they can't sit still, and they must come up with a way to break the predicament as soon as possible.

"Does this thing have a body, how can so many bullets not kill?" The fat man glared at Feng angrily, "Didn't you say that this ghost thing is afraid of fire?" Or are you shaking a little bit at this time? ”

Feng shuddered with the evil anger in the fat man's tone, and said, "It is recorded in the scriptures that Nea Naga is afraid of sunlight and salt, and the light of fire is only ...... It might make them scruples......"

The fat man was angry and scolded, "I don't care about a fart, I didn't see that this ghost thing has extinguished the fire of playing noodles." ”

"Wait." Wu Xie suddenly thought of something, "Have you ever considered why this thing is afraid of sunlight and salt?" ”

Zhang Haixing stared at the tent, remixed some hot water with the little salt water left in the bowl, and then poured it out according to the holes.

There was a series of crawling sounds, and the weight above the tarpaulin that had just been splashed with salt water was significantly reduced.

As soon as he heard Wu Xie say this, the fat man knew that he had an idea, "What good idea have you come up with?" ”

Wu Xie pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think what the dark shadows outside are afraid of is not sunlight and salt, but evaporation and water loss due to heat. ”

The fat man was a little confused, "What do you mean?" ”

Wu Xie explained: "This kind of thing is definitely not like what Feng said, it is a kind of soft water-soluble creature that lives in a hot spring. The main component of its body is water, and the sunlight during the day will evaporate the water on its body, and the lack of water means death, so this creature will appear at night after the sun sets. ”

"What's the matter with salt?" The fat man asked again.

"Fear of salt is a better explanation." Wu Xie said, "But there is no freshwater creature who is not afraid of salt, just like freshwater fish can't survive in seawater." ”

According to the principle of osmotic pressure, when the outer skin of this mollusk comes into contact with salt, the salt will dissolve and react with the warm water on its surface.

At this time, the epidermis of this organism is too salty, which will cause a concentration difference between its inner and outer body fluids, resulting in the loss of water in the cells of this aquatic organism.

If there is enough salt, the water in the cell will continue to lose outward, and eventually the aquatic organism will die of dehydration.

"It's not that this thing isn't afraid of fire, but the fire is too small, and there are so many of them that the water they bring with them can quickly extinguish the charcoal fire we make."

The sun is like a huge mass of fire that will never be extinguished, and Neanaga will mistake the light of the flame for sunlight, which is why it hides in the shadows and attacks people.

Although the fat man doesn't understand what osmotic pressure is, he can still understand the evaporation of water in the sun, just like drying eggplants and raisins.

"The fat man thinks what you said is very reasonable, so next, how do we get it." The fat man pointed to the roof of the tent, "This thing is running out of steam." ”

Wu Xie looked at his watch and said, "There are still four hours before dawn, and all we can do is delay time, and when the sun comes out, they will naturally retreat." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the fat man to make a new fire, but this time the fire was piled at their feet.

The four of them formed a circle, put the brightest fog lamp in the middle, and then made a fire in front of each person, so that there was no shadow around the body, and there was nowhere for Neanaga to hide.

Then take out the dried fish from the backpack, quickly scrape off the salt on the surface with a knife, and then pour salt water on the tarpaulin to drive away a part of the Nea Naga in this way. (End of chapter)
