Volume 1 Wilderness Chapter 82 Earth Dragon
Time disappeared unconsciously, and when a roar came from a distant place, Ouyang Mu slowly opened his eyes.
He couldn't stay up in the second half of the night last night, so he fell asleep, but fortunately, when Qianyu woke up, the two took turns keeping vigil.
Seeing Ouyang Mu wake up, Qian Yu's blood-red eyes looked over...
Although he couldn't see his expression, Ouyang Mu knew that Qian Yu was asking him.
Nodding at Qianyu and motioning for her to rest, Ouyang Mu got up and looked at Mia...
Seeing that she was still asleep, he didn't bother and slowly walked out of the tent alone.
The sunlight shines through the thick clouds and dust, filling the morning sky with a brilliant orange-yellow color.
By the morning, the orange will be replaced by a burnt yellow, filling the earth with a pervasive dullness.
He didn't stop long, ran to the side of the car, wiped his face hurriedly, and began to prepare breakfast.
In addition to diesel, the pickup truck also has a lot of barbecue, which is prepared to enter the valley.
Because except for Qianyu, the two of them ate less, so there was still a lot left.
There was no need to prepare, just cut and divide the pieces and brought them into the tent, and now that the strange creatures underground were nowhere to be found, he didn't dare to make a fire.
He ate it with cold water, and when there was a slight feeling of fullness in his stomach, Ouyang Mu stopped eating.
In the wilderness, he never eats too much, because a slightly hungry body will make him more mentally focused.
After packing up and setting up the cordon, Ouyang Mu walked towards the outside of the camp.
He had just walked around the tent a few times, and he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so he could only look outside, maybe the strange fluctuations last night might have left some clues.
For more than two hours, Ouyang Mu had been wandering around the camp within a kilometer, and he carefully searched every inch of the ground, but still found nothing.
"It's weird! Obviously there are fluctuations in the camp, why can't there be any traces around? Can it still appear out of thin air? ”
In that situation last night, if there were no anomalies around, it would be the biggest anomaly, and he didn't believe that any creature would appear out of thin air.
If the other party really has this ability, with the strength of the three of them, I'm afraid they will only be given for nothing.
Depressed, he could only return first, the second daughter of the camp was still resting, and he Ouyang Mu didn't dare to let the camp go beyond the scope of his spiritual sense.
His injuries are recovering well, a few minor injuries on his body have scabbed, and several more serious injuries have also closed, although there will be occasional pain, but it will also scab over a day at most.
Back at the camp, Qian Yu was already waiting outside the camp, and when he saw Ouyang Mu, his expression was obviously different.
Ouyang Mu saw it clearly, and there seemed to be a hint of joy, but it was fleeting, which made him feel dazzled.
"Qianyu, have you eaten breakfast?"
Qian Yu nodded slightly, and then said nothing.
Ouyang Mu had long been accustomed to it, and when he saw Qian Yu following him, he walked into the tent.
Mia had also woken up, lying in bed in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes were slightly blank.
When she heard Ouyang Mu coming in, she came back to her senses and looked at Ouyang Mu:
"You're on patrol?"
Ouyang Mu nodded:
"Well, yes! It's just..."
Seeing that Ouyang Mu stopped speaking, although Mia did not speak, her expression was full of inquiry.
“… It's just that within a kilometer of the surrounding area, there is not the slightest discovery! ”
Hearing this, Mia also frowned slightly, only to see her smooth eyebrows slightly constricted, and her good-looking eyebrows were gently curled.
“… Odd! Could it be that it appeared out of thin air? Or is it just around? ”
Mia muttered to herself, but this word woke up the dreamer.
Ouyang Mu's expression suddenly lit up, and he muttered:
"Nearby, nearby...! Sister Mia, you say... Could it be that this thing is all around here, but it's just good at hiding during the day, so that we don't get anything? ”
Mia thought for a moment when she heard this, and then she nodded affirmatively:
"It's so likely that we've been ignoring the underground!"
Now that he had a goal, Ouyang Mu told Mia a few words to let her rest well, and he left the tent again in a hurry.
He walked to the entrance to the camp, which was only accessible to one car, and there was nothing special about it, but this was the place where the fluctuations were first noticed last night.
Looking at that piece of land, Ouyang Mu's heart flashed with a thought: All the weirdness starts here, so let's start looking for it from here!
Immediately, his expression was slightly stunned, and he returned to normal, but his spiritual sense had already taken this as a starting point and was rapidly expanding underground.
Unlike in the air above ground, where the spiritual consciousness could not achieve that fleeting extreme speed underground, he could feel that when he descended to forty or fifty meters, there was a sense of stagnation in the spiritual consciousness.
Ouyang Mu only frowned, and continued to look down...
When the spiritual sense descended to about 100 meters, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and his face was even more bruised.
The control of spiritual consciousness underground is many times more difficult than in the air, and at this time, he is already a little weak, and a feeling of nausea and dizziness hits his heart.
But even so, he still found nothing, except for the dirt, sand and stones, scattered minerals, and there was no trace of life.
But by this time, he had reached the limit of his bearing, and had to retreat, and he didn't find anything here, so he could only hope that the place behind the tent where the fluctuations disappeared might be discovered.
It was just as he was about to retract his spiritual consciousness that a small thing in the dirt caught his attention.
Ouyang Mu controlled his spiritual sense, and couldn't help but look at that little thing...
It is shaped like a scale, and its color is dull and dull, but a thin layer of mucus adheres to the surface, which looks a little disgusting.
But Ouyang Mu didn't know that this was left by various creatures, but seeing that its mucus hadn't dried up yet, he could be sure that it was related to the strange fluctuations last night, because he only found this in the surrounding underground.
I tried to move it with my spiritual sense, but it was surrounded by compact soil, and the scales only moved, but it couldn't fly out of the soil, which made Ouyang Mu feel difficult.
“… How can this be? ”
Ouyang Mu's eyes were embarrassed, but he inadvertently saw that there was only half of the Thousand Thorn Vine left in his right wrist, and the next moment he couldn't help but light up his eyes.
At the beginning, he relied on the arrow auger, and this is why he fought with the huge vine for a long time...
As soon as I thought of it, I saw two silver arrows flying out of my backpack.
This arrow is also made of dark gold, but with the addition of other materials, the hardness does not decrease, but the color changes.
The two arrows flew in the air, then collided in mid-air, and then began to spin at high speed.
Seeing this, Ouyang Mu did not delay, and the two arrows swooped down in the air, drilling down towards the position of the scales.
In Ouyang Mu's spiritual sense, this auger was like a sharp diamond, and the sand, gravel and soil encountered along the way shattered one after another, and then sprayed out towards the large hole in the bowl opened by the auger.
Seeing that it was effective, Ouyang Mu couldn't help but show a look of joy.
Then he controlled the direction of the auger while controlling the wasteland to fly out continuously, and the speed was slightly affected by the dual-purpose use.
It's just that Ouyang Mu didn't care about this influence, although it was more than 100 meters down, it was only in the case of controlling the arrows, and it was not as laborious as when he investigated before.
After about ten minutes, the auger finally opened the passage from the ground to the scales, and Ouyang Mu couldn't help but smile at this time.
Without further ado, he flew back with two arrows, followed by something the size of a fingertip.
When this scale fell into Ouyang Mu's hand, reflecting the scorched yellow skylight, Ouyang Mu's eyes showed a look of doubt.
Who knows what kind of creature this thing is!
It's just a loss, you can't see it at all, okay!
Ouyang Mu was also a little depressed, he worked hard to get it out, but he didn't have any special gains, so it's strange if he wasn't depressed!
It's just that it took a lot of effort to get it, and he didn't give up when he threw it, and the feeling that the mucus gave him was faintly scented with medicine.
He couldn't think of what it tasted like, but he thought of Mia's abilities and background, and she should have seen much more than himself, maybe she knew?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran towards the tent, but he didn't notice that Qian Yu looked at the entrance of the cave suspiciously, and he didn't notice that there was something under the cave at a rapid speed, and then the hole was filled with mud.
The entrance of the cave was too small to see the size of this thing, but the covering layer on its surface was exactly what Ouyang Mu was holding in his hand.
These are all later words, let's talk about Ouyang Mu, who had already rushed to the tent at this time, which surprised Mia, who closed her eyes and recuperated!
In Mia's impression, although Ouyang Mu occasionally humors a sentence or two, the whole person is very calm and calm, like this, she has seen it for the first time.
“… What did you find? So excited! ”
Ouyang Mu didn't answer, but happily handed the scales to Mia, and hurriedly said:
"Sister Mia, this... Have you ever heard or seen it? ”
Mia stared intently, but when she saw the slime on it, a look of disgust appeared on her face!
"What is this? Where did you get that? ”
"A hundred meters underground! Just unearthed! It's fresh! ”
Ouyang Mu looked a little excited, and he didn't know if it was because he had discovered something or something.
“……”
Mia was speechless, she looked at the scale again, but didn't reach for it, the slime was disgusting to look at.
It's just that when a trace of earthy medicinal smell came, Mia couldn't help but be stunned, and turned to doubt!
Seeing this, Ouyang Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Sister Mia, do you know this?"
Mia shook her head and said:
"Not so sure! Judging from the smell of this slime, it looks like an earth dragon in the old world, that is, an earthworm, but that thing doesn't have such scales...! ”
This is where she wonders, everyone knows that earthworms are soft and slippery, and they are all mucus when they are grasped in their hands, disgusting!
But the scaly earthworm has never been heard of by anyone!
Ouyang Mu also showed doubts at this time, he had heard of earthworms, when he was in the camp before, there was a program on TV that introduced the animals of the old world, and he happened to see earthworms, but he didn't care about them in a hurry at that time.
Thinking about it at this time, he was also puzzled:
"In this way, the body really doesn't look like it...! Will... Is it because of mutation? ”
When Ouyang Mu said that it would not be, Mia had already shown a thoughtful look!
"Well, most likely!"
Then there was silence in the tent!
After a while, Ouyang Mu spoke:
"This thing comes out day and night, if you come back tonight, you can see it!"
Mia nodded and didn't speak, but closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Ouyang Mu didn't bother anymore, he knew that Mia actually wanted to recover her strength quickly to deal with the impending crisis.
In the following time, Ouyang Mu took Qian Yu to walk around the corners of the camp, making sure that there was nothing else unusual around.
And when these are done, the night is slowly falling.
Looking at Mia, who looked serious, Ouyang Mu knew that a serious tough battle might be about to appear...
