Chapter 53: Attack and kill the baby fish
Ah Fang's words suddenly pulled the few people who were deep in thought back to reality, and now we are in a sealed stone box, and the only way out is still occupied by a group of big bats and meatballs.
I told them about the exit, and the only way to swim out of the river.
"There may be something in the river that we don't know, and it's not necessarily safe!" I continued, "If we choose to swim out of the river, we have to be more careful. ”
"How many meatballs are there on the shore? If it doesn't work, we'll force it through! Quanzi said.
Our group arrived at the place where Fan Qunping and I retreated before, and they all glanced at the densely packed army of meatballs, and immediately felt that it was safer to swim out of the river.
We each started to pack up and organize our equipment on the side, and then Fan Qunping, the only one who had nothing to do, asked, "Ladies and gentlemen of the Chen family, what are you going to do next?" ”
I replied, "We've been tasked with finding those explorers, and we're going to complete our mission, and even better if we can find those mercenaries who want to kill us!" ”
Fan Qunping said hurriedly when he heard this, "How can this work, we must go out immediately after we find a way out, and don't have any conflicts with that group of people!" ”
I said, "Our mission is to search for those explorers, and we're not done yet!" ”
Fan Qunping immediately said, "It's too dangerous, you don't know what other monsters are hidden in this cave!" Even if you are very powerful and can deal with those monsters, but the Zhao family is here for a few of you this time, they are ruthless characters who eat people and don't spit out bones! ”
Quan Zi put the marching bag behind him, patted Fan Qunping on the shoulder and said, "If we were afraid of danger, we wouldn't have come to these places, don't worry, you will be safe with us." ”
I also nodded at Fan Qunping.
Fan Qunping knew that a few of us would not believe his words, so he stopped arguing with us and changed his words, "Then since you don't accept my suggestion, you can always give me the weapon you can use!" ”
"Didn't I give you my pistol?" I said.
"Five bullets?" Fan Qunping shook the gun in his hand and said.
I said to Quanzi, "Give him a pistol magazine!" He also asked Aichen to give him a waterproof flashlight.
Fan Qunping said, "You Chen family members are quite interesting, I don't know what is in this river, I'll explore the way first!" He took the flashlight and was the first to jump into the water.
The four of us looked at each other and smiled, and we went into the water as well.
The river was deeper than we thought, but fortunately the current was not very fast, and the undercurrent did not exist, and we swam all the way to the bend of the underground river, and suddenly a huge nest of 'meatballs' appeared in front of us: along the river beach were rows of animal bones, and the whiteness of those bones was shocking in the light of our flashlight. What's even more amazing is that the bones of these animals are almost intact, neatly arranged on the river beach like the taxidermy in the museum.
Seeing everything in front of me, I remembered the skeleton we saw in the sinkhole, and it seemed that the flesh on his body should have been eaten by these big bats, but why couldn't I see any bite marks?
At this time, Ai Qin, who was next to me, called me in a low voice, "Brother Dezi, look! ”
I quietly swam to her, only to see her shining a flashlight on a large bat not far away that was eating. Although the eyes of these big bats are so big that they can't fit in their sockets, and even a pair of eyes hang on their own heads, they no longer have any effect, and they stay on their own turf, and the sense of danger is obviously not as strong as outside. So when our light shines on them, it doesn't disturb them in the slightest.
Ai Qin whispered, "Look, isn't the way they eat strangely? ”
I took a closer look and was immediately surprised and disgusted, not far away several big bats were eating the carcass of a baby fish, only to see that they first squirted some of their own saliva on the body of the baby fish, a larger one in front of the spit juice, it seems that it should be the 'bat' mother, the back of a few small bats pursed their mouths like sucking milk to suck the saliva corroded meat into the stomach.
I see, this is not difficult to explain the previous skeleton, so it seems that the saliva of these large bats should still be relatively acidic, which can completely dissolve the flesh of various animals, but not the bones of animals. This also explains that the bones we see are intact and white, because mold rarely touches strong acidic substances.
I sighed, "How much saliva does it take to eat a person the way they eat it?" ”
Aichen guessed, "Maybe it's not saliva, maybe it's venom!" ”
The whole son in the back was dissatisfied, "You two haven't seen enough of such heavy tastes, hurry up and swim forward!" ”
As soon as we heard this, we found that Fan Qunping in front of us had swam far away, and the four of us hurriedly chased forward, seeing that the distance between Fan Qunping and Fan Qunping had shortened a lot, but we saw that Fan Qunping in front of us had turned around and began to swim back, and several of us didn't understand his intentions, only to hear him shouting intermittently, "Hurry, hurry up and go ashore, you can't go ahead!" ”
As soon as we heard this, we knew that he must have encountered something, but Fan Qunping in front obviously didn't see the power of these big bats on the shore, so he swam straight towards the river beach full of bones of all kinds of animals. And we found that in the river behind him, under the blurry light of the waterproof flashlight, the river in front of us was coming towards us with violent fluctuations.
I yelled, "Oh no, it's a baby fish!" When the three of them heard this, they immediately panicked, and hurriedly followed Fan Qunping to swim towards the river beach in front.
Fortunately, a few of us are not very far from the river beach, and a few fierce feet can already step on the river beach.
A few of us got up from the river wet, and the sound of "whooshing" out of the water suddenly disturbed the tranquility of this 'tribe', and for a while, large and small bat balls came out of all kinds of corpses and bones, and quickly dispersed towards the surrounding cliffs.
That's when I realized that although these big bats have wings but can't fly, they can move freely on the smooth cliff faces, just like the ugly monkeys of the Grand Canyon. We thought that we had rashly intruded into their territory, and that this group of ugly bats would launch a huge attack on us, but after a period of commotion, we couldn't find the shadow of the rest of the batballs in the huge nest right now, except for the five of us.
Fan Qunping on the other side had just come ashore, and the bone shelf next to him was crushed by something, and Fan Qunping jumped left and right over there, as if he was dodging something. Our vision here was blocked by the white bones in the middle, and we could only see Fan Qunping jumping around, and nothing else could be seen.
I said, "If it doesn't go on like this, he'll shoot him, and we'll have to help him!" ”
When we arrived at Fan Qunping's location, although it was a flat river from the edge of the river, we were worried that the baby fish in the water would not dare to get too close. The only way was through the lair, and we didn't have time to think about it so much at the moment, so we plunged headlong into the forest of bones.
Walking left and right in the bone forest, we were surprised to find that there were still many human bones in this skeleton specimen exhibition, but most of them were already mutilated. The sound of broken bones on Fan Qunping's side continued, and it seemed that he was in big trouble.
A few of us also let go of the doubts in front of us, quickly leaned towards Fan Qunping, and turned around the pile of bones, only to see Fan Qunping, who was soaking wet, circling left and right with a huge baby fish, and the scattered bones around were a mess, and there were bone fragments crushed by the baby fish everywhere.
Quanzi held the gun and asked, "What a big guy, what should I do?" Shooting? ”
At this time, the big bats that had just escaped were on top of our heads, what if we shot them and provoked them? This is a situation that we have to consider. But seeing Fan Qunping not far away, swimming was originally more physically exhausting, and with the fight with the baby fish just now, his physical strength was obviously exhausted.
I took out the saber from the knife holster and said to them, "Quan Zi and I will go to help Fan Qunping, you two will be responsible for covering, and you will shoot again as a last resort!" ”
Fong replied, "Good! ”
Quanzi and I ran to both sides of the baby fish, and the baby fish was really not an ordinary thing, and we immediately realized a strong sense of crisis. It closed its jaws slightly, its body kept retreating, and Fan Qunping made a very professional gesture at me, only then did I realize that he was holding half a sharp animal sternum in his hand.
Quanzi and I instantly understood Fan Qunping's strategic intentions, and Quanzi and I outflanked each other, and Fan Qunping continued to act as a decoy in the middle, and couldn't let this guy retreat into the water, because once it entered the water, we would be helpless about it.
The target of the baby fish's attention is still Fan Qunping, Fan Qunping saw this opportunity, and ran back and pulled his legs, the baby fish was really fooled, suddenly accelerated, opened his jaws and pounced towards Fan Qunping, I and Quanzi followed the baby fish left and right, if Fan Qunping's movements were a little slower just now, half of his body was estimated to be gone. Fortunately, his body is very flexible, running and jumping and twisting, in one go, the baby fish suddenly pounced in the air, fell heavily on the river beach, I and Quanzi followed by two daggers from the softer armpits next to it inserted in, it struggled, we pulled at the same time, its body was cut by us in an instant two bloody mouths, the baby fish was hit so hard, soon lost its combat effectiveness, the body twisted violently, I and Quanzi had already retreated, I saw it desperately struggle on the river beach and crawl back into the river, and then slowly sank into the river.
Quanzi and I finally took revenge, looking at the river that kept turning red, and was about to get up to leave, there was a sudden chaos in the river, and the baby fish that was hit hard by us was torn apart by its companions hiding in the river less than ten seconds after entering the water.
Looking at the thrilling and cruel scene, Quanzi and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if we were still in the water at this time, wouldn't we have been divided by them a long time ago.
