Continue to walk forward cautiously, and you can see a relatively complete bone every time you walk. Some are small, some are very big, and the shapes are even stranger.
When the cold wind blows, there is a whining sound from time to time. Some giant creatures seem to have just died. What is strange is that there is still a layer of skin on their bones, and the skin is full of holes the size of a sieve. The whining sound of the wind is the sound made by the wind entering the skin and hollow bones.
Zhang Ling frowned involuntarily and said, "How did these creatures die? Was it killed by spiders?"
Jia Sidao said: "Spiders do like to inject digestive juices into their prey, dissolving the prey from the inside, and then absorbing nutrients. However, spiders rarely live in groups. And the wounds they cause are irregular chewing wounds. And each of these wounds is round, more like a puncture."
Big Eye said, "That's what the big mosquitoes did! It's not right. There are many small animal bones, some of them are so small that the big mosquitoes are hard to attack. And... the environment here is not suitable for flying. Will it? Are they smaller blood-sucking animals? They live in groups and have a harder and more flexible exoskeleton to avoid those thorns and plants. Maybe they can't fly, but they crawl at an amazing speed."
Big Eye's guess also makes some sense, but what exactly caused this massacre can only be determined by seeing the murderer in person.
However, we don't want to meet either.
I suggest: "In my opinion, let's get some water and leave as soon as possible."
There is no pond or trickle in front of us, only a piece of soft mud. The water extraction I mentioned was a common method used by Zhang Ling to survive in the wild when he was a special soldier.
The solution is to wrap the mud with cloth and squeeze out the water.
Big eyes patted the gun in his hand and said, "Anzi, don't be afraid! We have advanced weapons, and Tyrannosaurus is not afraid."
I said: "Tyrannosaurus is not afraid, but if there are thousands of small lizard-like animals, it will be troublesome."
Zhang Ling warned: "Don't talk, pay attention to the surroundings."
Jia Sidao looked around and said, "At least I haven't felt the danger yet."
Zhang Ling squatted down to inspect the soil on the ground and said: "The softness, humidity, and distribution of the soil are very uniform.
Swamp or mud pond. Let's take a break first. "
We were carrying heavy equipment, and the ground was very soft. It was very hard to carry weight on such a road. Jia Sidao and I were fine, but Dayan and Zhang Ling were a little overwhelmed.
I untied my backpack and put it aside, then chose a drier vine and sat down. I heard a "click," and the tree vine couldn't bear it, and I sat down.
It didn't matter this time, a white thing flew out of the broken vine.
I thought it was an insect. Jia Sidao next to him was swift with eyes and hands. As soon as he stretched out his arm, he grabbed the flying object in his hand.
Open the palm of your hand to see that it is not an insect, but a white bone.
I made a false alarm and said, "This place is so evil! There are bones everywhere."
Seeing Jia Sidao looked at the bones in his hands, I was a little surprised, and I asked, "Is there anything to discover?"
Jia Sidao said, "Get out of the way and let me see the broken teng under you."
I went inside without knowing it, but didn't dare to be careless, and immediately got up and gave up my position.
Jia Sidao began to look at the vine carefully, which should be the root system of the big tree. There was obviously a hole in the place where the trees and vines were broken, and Bai Sensen's bones were still buried in the hole.
I was also a little surprised, and immediately looked down, and then found more bones in the cracks in the tree. Those white bones are interspersed in the cracks of the tree, or the bones are wrapped by the tree.
I curiously said: "What's going on? There are bones in the tree, tree burial? It's the person who died in the tree."
Jia Sidao looked solemn, did not speak, and began to meditate.
Big Eye and Zhang Ling also came over. Zhang Ling picked up a bone and said, "I think it looks like a human bone."
Jia Sidao nodded and said, "Yes, it's the bones of a person's arm."
Big Eyes said in surprise: "What? Human bones! Why are human bones in the tree?"
Jia Sidao said: "I think An Zi and I think it is some kind of tree burial. Ancient tree burials have many forms. Among them are the bones, ashes of the dead or the vajra altar stuffed into the gaps in the trees."
"That means someone is nearby?" Big Eye was very happy.
Jia Sidao shook his head and said, "Perhaps there were people a long time ago, maybe there were the remains of a certain village deep in the forest, but I am afraid they are gone now." He looked around and continued: "Because
Judging from the bones here, the neighborhood is full of dangers, and there is no way for people to survive in such an environment. "
Looking at the disappointed big eyes, I said: "We can look for ruins nearby."
Big Eye echoed: "Yes, look for it. Even if there is no one, even if there are only ruins. If it doesn't last long, we can still find some decent clothes."
Speaking of clothes, we really need to change. We wear only one clothes for more than a month, and we have to fight wild beasts in the virgin forest. Our clothes are damaged to varying degrees, such as big-eyed pants and big mosquitoes on the buttocks. There was a hole in his mouthpart, and he could only fill it up with the fabric of his shirt.
The four people packed up their bags and started to move forward. Soon there was a quagmire swamp, the more difficult it was to walk in, and finally we could only rely on the zipline to move forward on the tree.
But this swamp is not big, and I saw a gurgling clear stream winding through the woods without going too far.
The clear stream, against the large green leaves and yellow mud surrounding it, immediately made people feel very peaceful.
Big Eye couldn't wait to land on the side of the stream. At this moment, Jia Sidao immediately stopped and said, "Don't go down yet!"
But Jia Sidao was too late to shout, his big eyes and feet were already on the ground, but that foot didn't even step on the ground, and then the whole story by the stream suddenly squirmed.
Where is the green leaves and yellow mud on the ground? There are actually densely packed cockroaches!
The cockroaches gathered together neatly, and their bodies looked brown, like iron buckets.
As soon as Big Eye landed, it alarmed the entire group of cockroaches, and then he shouted, "A lot of big bugs!"
I couldn't help laughing on the tree, shouting loudly: "They are the ancestors of cockroaches!"
Fortunately, Big Eye didn't close the take-off rope. When he heard my shout, he only touched the ground like a little water, and then he got up.
But while he was frightened, the big cockroaches fryed like a conditioned reflex. He didn't know what kind of message these primitive cockroaches sent, and the rest of the cockroaches started chasing Big Eyes in groups.
Those cockroaches may not be as big as the giant insects we have ever seen, but the densely packed one-foot-long body is enough to make people fearful!
What's worse is that those cockroaches will climb trees, making the trees unsafe.
