The scientific expedition team was on the way, and the loss of Mao Jingqin made the team silent all the way, and the morale was extremely low, and it was difficult for everyone to accept it, and the young lady of the military doctor who always had a gentle smile left them.

She is so atmospheric and wise, she never deliberately shows her presence in the team, but whenever there is a contradiction and gunpowder in the team, she will stand up without a trace to smooth out the potential rifts in the team, and she does not show the slightest edge.

She is like a pool of clear water, clear and clear, she silently performs her duties when the team is injured, and she will silently make up for the team's heartache.

It is a pity that there is a beautiful woman, and the goodness is like water, this is Mao Jingqin.

She had only been away for a while, and all kinds of benefits that had not been discovered before suddenly came out of the hearts of the team members, and their hearts became more and more painful.

Tang Chunjiao couldn't help but keep herself from crying, at this time she wished that Sister Mao, who was smiling as bright as clear water, was still by her side.

"We are not out of danger yet, and we must find the right way to leave the dungeon immediately. Professor Zhang, the spiritual leader of the expedition team, spoke first to break the silence.

In fact, the sadness in his heart is by no means weaker than that of other team members, as can be seen from Mao Jingqin's roar when he left their sight and fell into the darkness, and what makes him even more sad is that he has been unwilling to give up his desire to explore this mysterious dungeon, and has been trying to comfort himself trying to persuade the team members to help him break through the core of the dungeon, so although Mao Jingqin's sacrifice has nothing to do with him, he still has a sense of guilt in his heart.

Professor Zhang realized that he had no reason to persuade these outstanding young men to accompany him in a risky operation.

Asking others to take risks in the name of the dual correctness of science and the state is still essentially inseparable from the word "selfish".

Therefore, Professor Zhang Xueshi just wants to take this team out as much alive as possible at the moment, and save the lives of every member of the scientific expedition team, which is the most precious.

The grieving team didn't notice a single anomaly under their feet.

They entered the cave under the stone steps and retreated all the way, because the cave entrance was narrow, the bat swarm could not pour in too much at one time, relying on the fire and fighting and retreating, they quickly got rid of this group of bloodthirsty and carnivorous creatures, if it were not for the sake of saving ammunition, Chang Sha Mo Dao Nan Tashi and the others had to kill them all, Mao Jingqin's sacrifice made each of them hold their breath in their hearts, feeling that they were so useless.

"Wait!!Something is wrong here. Master Yasi suddenly spoke, he was the least emotionally fluctuating in the team, after all, he was in a high mood, and he had not known Mao Jingqin for a long time, so he couldn't talk about deep feelings, so he maintained the most sober posture.

They are now in a rugged karst cave grotto, where there is no trace of human construction, like a dry cave waterway, the ground is covered with stalactites and stone pillars and stalagmites, and it is difficult to walk, but the people present are not ordinary people, even Professor Zhang and Zeng Tai, who are the poorest in the team, will not pay attention to these obstacles.

Although the expedition team was sad and angry, they had always maintained a vigilance, and they knew from before they were forced to retreat into this cave that this was not a safe passage, and the bones outside were still fresh.

But entering this cave was not their own choice, so the most important thing now was to pass through quickly while guarding the surroundings.

Professor Zhang just wanted to open his mouth to ask what the mage had discovered, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge leather bag-like thing drilled out of the ground, straight to Chang Sha's legs, Captain Jiang just roared "Chang Sha", and the tantric mage on the side had already grabbed Chang Sha's collar and lifted it, but his hand was light, and when he retreated to the team to form a formation, the legs of a good special forces man had been broken together!

"Ah......!!!" It was only at this time that Chang Sha let out a roar of grief and pain, an iron-blooded man like him originally pierced an arm and broke a hand or foot or something, not to mention that he could scrape the bones and cure the poison of the father, and the temperament would not get out of control, but everything happened too suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, he became a lifelong cripple, a burden to his comrades, and the psychological gap was too huge.

For a military man, especially a scout, two legs may be more important than an arm.

Tang Chunjiao quickly clicked a few of his big points to stop the bleeding, and then turned out the needed items from the medical bag left by Mao Jingqin, she temporarily took over the role of Mao Jingqin, and after a while, the kung fu team members felt the importance and kindness of the doctor again.

Everyone looked at the monster that suddenly rushed out and almost killed one of their stalwarts in a second, and it looked like one

A huge worm, a bunch of wriggling disgusting tentacles on a large gray-black leather pocket three or four meters long, with a circle of spiral knife-like sharp teeth on the mouth of the bag, through the opening and closing of the sharp teeth, you can see that there are countless small tentacles in the leather pocket that make the scalp tingle.

It's a being that could be the main character in any horror movie, and when it comes to you, you might not even be scared.

For example, the current Tang Chunjiao has no white face and no screaming, because she forgot and did not run away, because her legs were numb.

Professor Zhang stared at the sharp circle of blood droplets, and he finally understood where the bones that had been cut into several pieces came from.

At this time, the big leather pocket spit out something like two dead branches, and everyone recognized that it was Chang Sha's leg.

It's just that it has become two dead creatures with no life in the skin and bones that have been drained of sperm and blood, and no matter how high the medical technology is, it can't be taken back.

In the face of such an evil creature, the first time the scientific expedition team reacted was to shoot, fire, and shoot out the strongest attack they could unleash without reservation, even elite soldiers like Captain Jiang couldn't even save but forgot about it for a while, they just wanted to immediately break the evil leather pocket into a broken leather bag, and talk about it later.

The bullet hit the large leather pocket, and it hit back again and again, but it didn't show any considerable damage, this monster is really unusual, and even a firearm can't do effective damage to them.

"Run!" Professor Zhang said.

Running as soon as he said he would run, never procrastinating, Tashi grabbed Chang Sha and threw it on his back.

However, although they fled, everyone still maintained a formation and retreated in an orderly manner, showing a panicked and unhurried quality, vigilant all around, including the soles of their feet, they couldn't forget that the monster had just come out of the ground.

The monster caught up, but it caught up from the bottom, and the monster didn't know what kind of movement it used to swim like a fish in the rock formation covered with solid rocks, and the speed was not slower than that of the scientific expedition team, and it bit them all the way, because it drilled into the ground, the scientific expedition team members shot and may not be able to hurt it, so they had to flee all the way, embarrassed to the extreme.

Fortunately, God still gave a way out, and at this time, it would be really cool if there was a big leather pocket in front of me to make a two-way pinch, but it didn't.

From time to time, there was a faint murmur from time to time as the movement passed through the ground, and it was only when Master Yasi caught this unusual sound with his extraordinary hearing that he became vigilant.

At this time, there was another sound of water in front of him, and Professor Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Quick! Run to a place where there is water." ”

After all, this is a natural karst cave underground, which was originally eroded by water, and it is naturally not too far from the underground groundwater system.

"Go into the water!" Professor Zhang took the lead in the water, and everyone did not hesitate to follow, in fact, they could not hesitate, they could only flee when there was no means to deal with the unknown monster, and in front, there was only a waterway.

Swimming far away, the monster really didn't seem to catch up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to nervous about the trouble in the water again.

It's not a safe place to be in the water.

Not long ago, bats catching fish and alien phantoms are still haunting my mind.

However, in contrast, everyone felt that the alien might be a little more acceptable, at least the way to die was more pleasant.

Swimming to a reef in the middle of the lake, everyone can finally take a breath, fortunately, the reef is quite large, the scientific expedition team of eight people can barely get together, Tang Chunjiao immediately checked the team members, although she is not a medical graduate, but the Tang family medicine and poison double cultivation, family education is also quite profound, enough to be competent for the duties of a doctor in an emergency.

Fortunately, the situation of Chang Sha, who was the most seriously injured, is not optimistic, although Tang Chunjiao even stopped the bleeding by sealing the acupoints, but after all, the two thigh blood vessels were cut together, and it was impossible not to lose a lot of blood, and the so-called sealing of the acupoints to stop bleeding was just to tighten the blood vessel walls and block the flow of qi and blood by hitting the acupoints, not directly blocking the blood vessels.

"Chang Sha's condition is very bad, and he must be sent to the ground as soon as possible for blood transfusion observation. Tang Chunjiao's voice was trembling, after all, this little girl was born as a daughter of a wealthy family, although she has the ability to surpass ordinary people, but her psychological quality is still a cut short of other team members, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is at the bottom of the team.

She did her best

The wound was controlled, and in this case, the hemostatic agent or anything was useless, fortunately, the worm's teeth should not be poisonous, so far Tang Chunjiao has not found any traces of poison, of course, it may be that there are more detailed and strange toxins that have not been found, after all, that thing really can't be treated with common sense.

At this time, Captain Jiang asked, "Professor Zhang, how did you know that this monster is afraid of water?"

Professor Zhang said: "It's just a guess. ”

"Huh?" For a moment, Captain Jiang thought the professor was joking.

"It's true. Professor Zhang said in a scientific and formal tone: "I just judge from its basic physiological structure and the sexual characteristics it exhibits that it may not be good at living in water, but I am not sure, because it is really ...... It's weird. ”

Zeng Tai suddenly said, "Teacher, do you think that thing looks like an allghoi khorkhoi?"

"What?" asked Captain Jiang.

Zeng Tai said: "That's the Mongolian name, and you may be better known by its other name - Mongolian Death Worm. ”

"Ahh

"What?!"

Hiss-Mo Dao gasped and said, "The legendary terrifying monster!"

"What's that?" Tashi wondered.

"It is an ancient and bizarre legend circulating in the Gobi Desert - in the vast Gobi Dunes, there is often a huge bug that looks like a cow's intestines, they are very strange in shape, they will spray a highly corrosive and poisonous liquid, in addition, these huge insects can also radiate a strong electric current from the eyes, killing people or animals several meters away, and then slowly devouring the prey...... People call it the 'death worm' because its range is mainly in the Gobi Desert, which includes Huijiang to Outer Mongolia, so it is also called the 'Mongolian death worm'. ”

Zeng Tai continued: "Roy Chapman Andrews, a famous explorer and naturalist in country M, who was famous for conducting many expeditions to Mongolia at the beginning of the last century and discovering a large number of dinosaur fossils, mentioned this creature in his 1926 book "Tracing the Footsteps of Ancient Man" and brought it to the attention of the West for the first time. The Death Bug's presence is very determined, and the accounts of those who witnessed them are strikingly similar. "Later, there was even a group of Paleontologists in Country M who believed in its existence and tried to find it, and it also had an official name called ''', which translates to the people of Ketonia. ”

"Can this thing still be called a person?" said Captain Jiang, who had always been unfazed, with a glare.

Professor Zhang finally spoke: "That's the meaning of the digging race, it's not that they are also intelligent creatures, I have also seen about it in some high-level national materials, but just like the savage water monster, it is all a no-brainer." I didn't expect that today I not only saw the real thing, but also lived, so shocking. ”

Zeng Taidao: "Most of the materials about this strange worm mention that they are afraid of water, teacher, did you think of going into the water because of this?"

Professor Zhang said: "I have thought of it, I am not afraid of your jokes, when I was young, I was also obsessed with such strange creatures, and even wondered if dinosaurs still existed. ”

He didn't think there was anything bad to say about these old things when he was young, which scholar who embarked on the road of scientific research did not have a similar dream when he was young, holding a book and stupidly thinking about those strange creatures passing in front of him, Zhang Xue back then is Zeng Tai today, it is better to be.

What is it that supports these scientific research workers to give up their excellent living conditions, sleep in the open air, overcome obstacles, and step on their feet with hardships and dangers, isn't it the curiosity to pursue the unknown?

At this time, Tang Chunjiao barely managed to control Chang Sha's injuries and asked, "Professor, do you have any opinion on what came out of the water?"

Professor Zhang shook his head and said, "Not at all, not even legends, if it is possible for the worm to come to the surface and meet humans, it is completely impossible for that kind of alien-like creature to live in the underground water system." The world is really big, it's amazing......"

The final emotion was not anger, but the blood in Professor Zhang's heart.

There are really too many surprises in the world, if you can approach it step by step and remove the layers of masks with your own hands, what can you ask for in this life.

This is the twenty-year-old Zhang Xueshi, the twenty-year-old Zeng Tai, and the current Zhang Xueshi.
