Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Shadow of Death
At this moment, Jiang Ming is no longer the poor kitten when he was talking to the boss at the beginning! How fast is the speed of extracting information! At most, it will not take more than 0.5 seconds, and he will clearly understand the origin of this group of people. Moreover...... Captive Pete's heart.
This group of people is not simple, the tall man named Pete is the editor-in-chief of the internationally famous 21st Century Nature Weekly, the female foreigner Lucy is his assistant, and the other two ..... He has been to many so-called mysterious places in the world, including all kinds of Death Valley, and has rich experience in surviving in the wild!
The purpose of their visit this time is very simple, that is, to uncover the mystery of the "male death valley".
These foreigners don't believe in any curses or evil spells at all! In their eyes, Gu magic is even more of a product of low productivity! It is no different from primitive worship! They think that there must still be some special poisonous gas in this mountain, or ..... Radioactive sources and the like specifically cause damage to the male Y chromosome. So...... They also brought a lot of testing equipment with them this time!
As a result, not long after they came in, they met a talking kitten, who spoke in English, which really made them fall through their glasses, and more incredible conjectures sprouted in the minds of these foreigners!
Not to mention others, just this Pete, the first thing that came to his mind was that maybe there was a compatriot of his own, who suffered here and was turned into a cat, otherwise...... The pronunciation of this kitten, what a Texas accent!
Oh my God! That's a little weird! Could it be that there are witches living in the mountains who turn all the males into cats and dogs? In that case, of course, they are missing.......
Before they came, they had heard various versions of the description of this Death Valley! The content was different, and even very different, but they all had one thing in common, that is...... Men will mysteriously disappear.
Determined that there was no extreme situation like the cannibal tribe around, so I came here in a group of four to explore, but I didn't expect it...... As soon as I came in, I encountered such strange things.
When Jiang Ming was reading human beings before, except for acquiring memories and manipulating people's hearts, he didn't have any special feelings, which he was already accustomed to! But this time he read the spirit of foreigners, but he had a "deep understanding", another way of thinking, another language structure, profoundly affected Jiang Ming's brain!
When he was in college in the past, Jiang Ming's biggest fear was English listening, as soon as he put on the headphones, he couldn't understand anything except "the listening test, start ...... now" and "the listening test is over", so he could only rely on the randomness of the multiple-choice questions to get some points.
But now, because of the sharing of Pete's divine sense, in an instant...... English became so simple in his mind! The logical relationships and grammatical structures in it seemed to be instantaneous...... The terrier woke up the memory of his previous life! Jiang Ming can understand 100% of the conversations between these foreigners, and he can speak fluent English!
"Hey, who are you, where are you from, why are you here?" said Damon, smiling curiously.
While he was talking, his consciousness was also stolen by Jiang Ming, this art of reading spirit is magical at one point, don't dare to talk to a cat, once you talk, you will sell yourself!
"Yes, baby, why are you here?" Lucy also asked Jiang Ming curiously.
"Oh my God, I got lost, I strayed into this unknown land, I walked for a long time, I was very tired, so I ..... I need you to carry me for a while, and let Tom carry me!" Jiang Ming replied with a smile.
"Oh, oh, how do you know my name, God, it's a magical trip!" the explorer, Tom, shrugged.
In fact, there is no need to communicate too much, and there is no need to explain anything, these four foreigners have been controlled by Jiang Ming in an instant.
Jiang Ming got into Tom's backpack, revealing only one head, observing the situation around him. The heart speaks...... If this Death Valley makes a move on men, he and Tom are now "one", and they will know the truth here immediately!
"Oh God, this is a magical place! Cats can talk, and we ..... I am also full of affection for it. ”
"Yes, perhaps, any animal can talk when they come here, I suspect that there is a witch living in this place, who has turned all the males into small animals, and put them in these castle-like mountains!"
"That's an exaggeration! Pete, you should change your career to become the editor-in-chief of a children's publication, how is this possible? I prefer that there is a matrilineal clan tribe in this place, and when you see a male, you will go back to use it as a tool for inheritance, after all, the gene pool needs to be updated regularly, rather than avoiding the appearance of close relatives!"
"Are you sure you're going to be a tool for the Mission, not a pizza or a Thanksgiving turkey?"
"Oh, for God's sake, don't be so pessimistic, okay? maybe, there really will be an adventure, this cat is a good start, it can bring us good luck!"
......
The four foreigners chattered and continued to move forward, and they went deeper and deeper, and they had already come to the hinterland of Death Valley.
Today's weather is wonderful! The sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, the air is full of the fragrance of plants, trees and flowers, and the testing equipment shows that the air quality here is excellent! There is no such thing as radioactivity...... It is simply the most suitable natural environment for human habitation! The cradle of Mother Earth, which is pure and pollution-free.
However, while walking, something unthinkable happened, among the four foreigners, Lucy, the only female team member, suddenly had a strong discomfort reaction and began to vomit violently...... It's all dark green pus, and it smells like a bed bug, and it smokes people's eyes!
"Oh my, what's going on?" Pete grabbed his hair, shocked!
Damon and Tom hurriedly took off their backpacks and took out the medical kit to rescue Lucy.
"Steady, relax, take a deep breath!" Damon instructed Lucy on self-regulation.
"Oh God, I'm ......," Lucy was halfway through her sentence when she took another "wow", this time the situation was even more horrible, but she spat out the pieces of her stomach that had been corroded, dark green pus mixed with dirty blood, splattered on the arms of the two explorers!
"Oh my God, this ........"
“Oh!shit!”
"Was she bitten by some corrosive poisonous insect?"
"Could it be that it's a legendary Gu technique?"
.......
Lucy's condition was obviously beyond redemption, and her appearance was becoming more and more terrifying, and she was constantly vomiting..... Her body also began to swell, like a giant after a person has been "fermented" for a period of time after death! Her eyes bulged like a frog! Her tongue turned out! She was originally a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes, but she ...... in an instant. became a bloated and obese middle-aged old lady!
The three men and foreigners were all frightened! They had never seen such rapid malignant symptoms! You know..... Ten seconds ago, Lucy was still talking and laughing with them, and it turned out to be like this in an instant! It was the same as the symptoms described in the horror movie after being hit by Gu! Could it be ...... Is this Eastern Gu art real?
"God, help us!" Pete's emotions collapsed.....! Lucy was the daughter of his friend's family, who had been his assistant for many years, and suddenly died, and how to go back and explain to her parents......! Will they ever be able to go back? That's a big question mark.
The two explorers had Lucy's vomit on their arms, and they were all terrified, and they were desperately washing in the river, for fear that the terrible toxin would seep into their skin!
And Jiang Ming, who was hiding in his backpack, watched everything that happened with a cold eye, because he had already controlled the divine consciousness of the four people, so he ..... In his mind, what he saw was not what he saw!
