256 The taste of the rich is really hard to fathom
"Third brother, ask the fifth brother, does he have anything to say?"
Lin Yi raised the walkie-talkie and said to Qian Sheng outside.
It didn't take long for news from Qian Sheng's side.
"Fifth brother is numb at this time, he said that he has never experienced this kind of thing at all, and he is now watching your situation along the way, just like watching a movie."
Before Qian Sheng's voice fell, the voice of the fifth brother came from the walkie-talkie.
"Brothers, pay attention to personal safety! I don't have much else to say. However, the holes in these coffin boards just now I think are a bit like ship maggots, do you know this kind of thing? ”
"Ship maggots! Yes, it's a ship maggot! Thank you Fifth Brother for your advice. ”
The fifth brother's reminder came very timely, and he simply thought of it with Lin Yi.
The ship maggot, as the name sounds, seems to be a mollusk.
In fact, it is a close relative of oysters and clams, and the common ship maggot species look like elongated razor clams.
The mantle tissue on its surface secretes a substance similar to that of a fritillary, creating a calcium carbonate tube that wraps around its tender body.
It can live in both seawater and freshwater and is known as "water termites".
Because their food is wood.
As early as the ancient Greek period, it was recorded that ship maggots once destroyed a huge sailing ship, and the entire hull was "mothed" into a honeycomb cake by ship maggots.
In the end, the big ship had to be scuttled.
These ship maggots are so prodigious that their offspring live in the wooden structures of the docks, and they take the opportunity to burrow into the hull whenever a ship docks.
In the naval battle between Spain and Great Britain, the world-famous Spanish Armada, because of the presence of maggots, caused several capital ships to lose their combat effectiveness, and even after they circled Scotland and Ireland, they could not return to Spain.
Great Britain took the opportunity to take the place of Spanish maritime supremacy.
This species is almost unseen in the north.
In the Xichuan region, where the river is dense, there are fishermen who have lived on fishing boats for generations, and of course they know the power of boat maggots.
The reason why Lin Yi was able to think that it was done by ship maggots was mainly because there were very few species that could live in symbiosis with sulfur.
In Southeast Asia and other places, giant ship maggots that feed on hydrogen sulfide have been seen.
These maggots can grow to about 1.5 meters in length and live in a quagmire rich in hydrogen sulfide, and their gills are particularly well developed and contain bacteria that can decompose hydrogen sulfide.
They can reduce hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and use the energy released to convert carbon dioxide into sugars for the host to enjoy.
The origin of these species is unknown, probably due to environmental factors, and no one can guarantee whether there will be human intervention.
It's just that, judging from the severed limb just now, the size of the ship maggot that can drag Bai Lu into the water is far beyond the category of "giant ship maggot".
Why would it be interested in humans if it feeds on wood?
What really scared Lin Yi was that all this seemed to be arranged.
First of all, the "Three Qi Gathering" made this a Shura field where white murderers gathered.
Then raise one or several mutated super giant ship maggots in the sulfur pool, which is for fear that the white murderer will not be able to break into the tomb robbers here without permission, as long as there is a fierce fight with the white murderer in the coffin, the bottom of the coffin board has been eaten into a honeycomb.
If the force is a little greater, you will have to fall into the pool of sulfur and become the mouth of the maggot.
I have to say that the people who designed these linkage mechanisms still have two brushes.
"How do you get about it now? Do you want to go back to shore and re-plan before you go? ”
Lin Yi turned on the flashlight, and the beam shone into the depths.
There are also large coffins floating on the water.
Just now, he held the obstacle knife in his hand and slashed three white murderers in a row, temporarily suppressing the evil qi here.
If they continue to go inside, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be another white murderer who will come out and kill them.
There are also boat maggots under the water, waiting to pick up the leak.
Wang Qiang and Bai Lu's backpacks are still on the shore, and there are still many tools and emergency items in them, and it would be a loss not to bring them over.
Fortunately, where they are now is not too far from the shore.
"Let's go, go back to the shore to rest and recuperate, and then find a way to cross this sea of coffins and corpses!"
Lin Yi untied the flying tiger claw from his waist and threw it, the tip of the tiger claw tightly buckled the gap in the bluestone block on the ground, with the help of this force, he and Wang Qiang worked together to let Bai Lu go first.
They also retreated to the shore.
Being in a safe place, a few people were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brothers, are you in trouble? Why don't I and my fifth brother come down to help! ”
Qian Sheng's voice came from the walkie-talkie again.
He could hear that he was anxious about Lin Yi's situation.
"No, it's all trivial, as long as you figure out what the problem is, the rest will be solved, you still stay on it, don't come down easily."
Wang Qiang took off his hood again, couldn't help but take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit two, and gave one to Lin Yi.
The three of them walked together to the door for a change.
"It seems that we are underestimating this big king, Ya is not only rich, but also ruthless, and there are capable people under the key hands."
Lin Yi took a deep breath of cigarette and sighed.
"I thought the 'worm man' was disgusting enough, this is good, not to mention the white and fierce people who came here, there are maggots in the water, and the taste of rich people is so elusive, hey!"
Wang Qiang leaned against the stone gate and shook his head.
"What? Shaken? Aren't you ready to vent this evil breath for the toiling masses who died unjustly? Don't you want to pour this old king's fight? ”
Lin Yi estimated that he was provoked.
Wang Qiang's eyes widened.
"Who wavered? Our current retreat is to make great strides forward later, like the fight of the eight kings, and everyone in the proletariat in the whole world will fall down, and if it is not clean, it will be considered in vain. ”
Bai Lu is almost recovered at this time, and she also likes to listen to her brothers tease the poor, so she listens and tinkers with her camera.
As soon as I wanted to see if the lens was damaged through the camera hole, I saw an incredible scene.
The coffins in the sulfur pool were all erected on the surface of the water, and the iron rings had been eroded by the sulfur for a long time, and a thick layer of rust had grown on the outside, even if it was shaking so loudly, it did not make a sound.
The turbid waves of the pond are like boiling a pot.
Soft-bodied boat maggots with white flowers surged on the shore, slowly wriggling forward.
"Brother Lin, Brother Qiang, look at it!"
Wang Qiang twisted his face, and was also stunned by the sudden scene in front of him.
Lin Yi reacted the fastest and shouted:
"me, run!"
As he spoke, his hands were not idle, grabbing Wang Qiang and Bai Lu's collars with both hands and pulling them out of the door.
