Chapter 376: Dark Shadow in the Lake
The corpse of the Sand Jackal King was too weird, and that unheard of parasite that even Professor Yin couldn't see as famous.
He didn't have any sophisticated equipment with him, and he couldn't analyze the physiology of the parasite, so he used a scalpel to cut off a few pieces of tissue and carefully put them in a freezer, intending to leave the nest and return to the laboratory for detailed study.
Several people went to check on the rest of the sand jackal carcasses on the ground, but among the sand jackals, no similar parasitic tissue was found.
It seems that only this one sand jackal king was parasitized.
When the dust settled, everyone was still a little frightened.
It's only been a day since I entered this nest, and I've already encountered several attacks by alien beasts, and this time there are even more beasts besieging them.
This made everyone's hearts more or less heavy.
Except for Professor Yin, Chen Liang and his entourage all looked a little uncomfortable, sitting in front of the fire that had been extinguished, and did not say a word.
Everyone had a vague intention of quitting in their hearts, but no one took the initiative to quit.
"Alright, let's all go back and rest."
It was Professor Yin who spoke, and he also saw the retreat in the hearts of Chen Liang and his party that had sprouted like seeds, pushed his eyes, and said, "If any of you don't want to continue, you can say it, and I will negotiate with Mr. Liu to send you out."
"However, don't forget, we are scientific researchers in Great Xia, and our Great Xia can be as strong as it is today, and it is inseparable from generations of scientific researchers who have sacrificed their lives and forgotten their deaths. If everyone were greedy for life and afraid of death, my scientific research work in Daxia would have stopped a long time ago."
His voice was calm, and after he finished speaking, he didn't look at the changes in the faces of Chen Liang and his party, and walked straight into the tent.
Chen Liang's color changed several times on the ground, glanced at Zhou Congee, who was still silent, gritted his teeth, and turned into the tent.
The rest of the people also got up and went back to their tents.
The night was extraordinarily peaceful, still keeping vigil as Scarface had previously ordered.
But that night, no other strange beasts appeared, and it seemed that there were no other strange beasts nearby.
Early the next morning, after a little tidying up, they set out on their way again.
Although there were no other strange beasts except for the sand jackals last night, it was also terrifying for everyone, and they didn't have much rest all night, and their walking speed was a little slower than yesterday.
Although they encountered a few more strange beasts along the way, they didn't appear in groups like the sand jackals, and they were easily solved by a few people from the Wuji Martial Arts Hall.
It wasn't until the evening that a large piece of green soil that was completely different from the surrounding scenery finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's an oasis!"
"It's finally an oasis!"
When they saw the lush greenery not far from him, Zhou Congee and Sun Qian almost screamed, and even Chen Liang showed uncontrollable joy on his face.
But everyone was still afraid that it was just a mirage like yesterday, so they didn't immediately cheer, until Scarface asked one person to check it again, and then they smiled: "This time it's not a mirage, it's a real oasis."
Everyone's spirits were lifted almost instantly, and even Professor Yin's footsteps seemed to be a little stronger, as if he was inspired by some kind of encouragement, he sped up a few steps and walked briskly towards the oasis.
Half an hour later, everyone finally stepped into the confines of the oasis.
The grass under your feet is covered with green grass, and just by stepping into it, you will feel a cool feeling that is completely different from the outside world, and everyone will be refreshed.
"Let's rest here tonight."
Although the warriors were not greatly affected in the desert, stepping into such a green soil, Scarface's tone became obviously a little lighter, facing everyone.
Wang Yan and the others naturally didn't have any opinions, stationed in this oasis, the temperature difference between day and night would not be so big, and they could sleep a little more comfortably at night.
"There's a small lake up ahead."
At this time, Qian Feng, who had just gone out to inquire about the situation in the oasis, trotted back, with a little excitement on his face.
"There's a lake?"
Zhou Congee and Sun Qian's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Girls always love beauty, and after two days in the desert, there is no place to bathe, and there is still sand everywhere on their bodies, and the two of them have long been a little unbearable.
"Grab the kettle first and fill it with water."
Scarface didn't stop it, but just commanded Qian Feng and the others on the side.
They carried a lot of water, but in the middle of this desert, there was not much water.
A few people brought the empty kettle and followed Qian Feng to a lake.
In the middle of a green and yellow field, a sparkling lake that is not very wide is quite unexpectedly beautiful in the desert.
Zhou Congee and Sun Qian also followed, brought toiletries, and looked a little impatient, planning to go in and take a bath as soon as Qian Feng and the others left.
Seeing that the two female comrades seemed to be in a hurry to wait, Qian Feng and the others were also very conscious, and quickly beat the water, and then everyone quickly left here.
"Tsk, I want to take a shower too......
After leaving the area of the lake, a martial artist from the Wuji Martial Arts Hall shook the kettle in his hand, a little regretful.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, he was hit on the head by Qian Feng and glared at him: "You kid want to do something lacking in virtue?"
"What do you want?"
The warrior looked aggrieved: "I just want to take a shower, I wear this combat uniform every day, and I am still in this desert, can I feel good without taking a bath?"
While a few people were talking, they returned to the camp, and the little fat man and Zhou Qing had already set up the tents very neatly.
There were some strange-shaped trees scattered in the oasis, and Scarface had already cut some branches and set up a simple small stove, on which a small pot had been set up, and in it was placed the meat of the strange beasts that had not been eaten yesterday.
Seeing Qian Feng and the others coming back, Scarface took the kettle from the hands of several people, didn't look at it, and poured the kettle in his hand into the pot.
"Huh?"
And at the moment when the water was poured into the pot, Wang Yan keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Scarface was a few seconds late, and seemed to sense that something was wrong, and after Wang Yan, he got up and looked into the pot.
I saw that in the seemingly clear water, I could clearly see that there were tiny particles with a round shape inside, which at first glance looked like fine grains of dust, floating in the water.
However, if you look closely, you can find that on the surface of the round tiny particles, there are such strands of blood-red silk sticking out from the edge like wool.
Floating in the water, although tiny, but I don't know if it's an illusion, in the temperature of the water that has gradually become hotter, the tiny particles seem to be expanding little by little at a speed that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
"What is this?"
Scarface and Wang Yan, who stood up almost at the same time, glanced at each other, and both saw the confusion in the other party's eyes.
Wang Yan didn't know what it was, but he could vaguely perceive that there seemed to be a faint vitality in this tiny particle that seemed to be lifeless.
But as the temperature of the water in the pot rises, the vitality of this tiny particle seems to be gradually growing.
The two of them looked at Professor Yin on the side.
The rest of the people were all at a loss, not knowing what was going on, and Qian Feng and the others took a closer look, and they were also confused.
Professor Yin looked at it carefully and again, and finally took out a magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully for a long time before his complexion changed slightly: "This seems to be a parasite egg!"
"Parasite eggs?"
Wang Shen and Scarface's complexions changed at the same time in an instant, and they all remembered the thick worm that had been cut out of the Sand Jackal King's body after killing that Sand Jackal King yesterday! new
"Not good!"
Wang Yan suddenly thought of Zhou Congee and Sun Qian, who were still bathing in the lake, and didn't have time to think, so he immediately rushed to the direction of the lake.
"Hey, what are you going to do?!"
Chen Liang on the side still didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Wang Yan running towards the place where the two girls were bathing, he subconsciously shouted at Wang Yan.
However, Wang Shen ignored him at all, and ran straight towards the lake.
"What are you going to do?!"
Chen Liang saw that Wang Ember didn't pay attention to him at all, and he was also anxious all of a sudden, for fear that Wang Ember was going to take advantage of Zhou Congee, so he hurriedly followed Wang Ember and ran in the direction of the lake.
Scarface and his party also realized it and hurriedly followed.
By the lake, Zhou Congee and Sun Qian had already taken off their clothes and had not yet entered the water.
The two of them were just wearing underwear and underwear, and they had just walked to the shore and were about to go down.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance, which frightened both of them for a moment, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw that Wang Yan was rushing in this direction quickly.
Both of them realized that they were not dressed yet, and let out a scream in unison.
However, Wang Yan didn't pay attention to the screams in the mouths of the two at all, and rushed over with a lunge, and pressed the two to the ground in the perverted eyes of the two.
"Change ......"
Sun Qian shouted, and said in her heart, I didn't expect you to be a pervert with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
But what's going on with some expectations in my heart?
Although there is a faint expectation in my heart, I still have to do the struggle on the surface.
It's just that the word "state" in her mouth has not yet been spoken.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a huge splash exploded in the lake, and a huge black shadow burst out of the lake, opening the bloody mouth of the scarlet wind from top to bottom, and biting fiercely towards a few people on the ground from top to bottom.
it!
Chen Liang, who was chasing after him, was almost frightened to the ground by a butt.
What is it??
