From seeing it

Chapter 16 Man-Eating Monitor Lizard

With the help of the searchlight, Xiao Ling saw some never-before-seen plants growing on the surrounding rock formations. They looked like mushrooms, but the surface was colorful. Weird beauty.

Zhang Shuang will carefully use the locator to locate the rock formation at intervals. This is the road mark for them to return, and there must be no mistakes.

Zhou Kesheng unfolded the map from time to time, using searchlights to observe the terrain and determine the orientation.

This is a hand-drawn map, Xiao Ling couldn't understand it, but Zhou Kesheng was able to determine the direction everyone was going to go down with this simple-looking map.

Xiao Ling guessed based on the coordinates Zhang Shuang used to hit the rock formation with the locator. Now everyone is afraid that they have entered this underground crack as deep as a thousand meters.

The space under the crack gradually became larger and wider, and it became more and more difficult to determine the orientation. There were more and more colorful plants that were unknown and resembled mushrooms around.

Fortunately, on this way, we only occasionally encountered some cave bats living in the dark, and Sun Tao used the searchlight to scare them away first, and no one encountered any danger along the way.

As it goes deeper, the surrounding landforms are also changing. At first, it was just layers of ring rocks. Now, as it goes deeper, there are more and more plants, and a large number of colorful mushroom-like plants are piled up. The colorful phosphorescence seems to be dyed with a dreamlike color.

There was also a rancid smell in the air.

Zhou Kesheng asked everyone to wear masks, which can filter poisonous gas to prevent poisonous gas from appearing in the air.

Xiao Ling was full of curiosity about the underground world that was a thousand meters deep underground, and felt that this journey was like a dream.

According to the introduction of Professor Li Zhibao and others, this underground world is an ecosystem of its own, and all kinds of animals and plants here are all species that have never been discovered, including those bats that were frightened away, all of which are very special albino bats, maybe It is due to the lack of light for a long time. The whole body is a kind of grayish white, the whole body is up and down, and the only pair of eyes are glowing red. Among them, the large ones have wings spread out for nearly meters. If you look closely, they are very scary, almost more than flying foxes. Bigger.

Fortunately, they were very timid, they were frightened away from a distance, and did not pose a threat to everyone.

However, the team members protecting them from the outside did not dare to take it lightly. They held submachine guns in their hands and were on full alert. Once danger approached, they would not hesitate to shoot.

After reaching the kilometer underground, the terrain gradually became open and flat. Everyone climbed all the way down, and their physical fitness was exhausted, especially the old professor Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng. Although their physical fitness was not inferior to that of young people, they were old and tired Not lightly, told everyone to rest on the spot for a while.

Although Xiao Ling did not receive professional physical training like those full-frame armed players, as his appetite increased, his physical fitness is getting better and better. He doesn't feel tired, but feels more and more energetic. Can't stop working hard.

However, he also sat on the ground with the others, while the team members with guns stood guard on the outside to prevent danger.

Xiao Ling listened to the panting sounds of Zhou Kesheng, Li Zhibao and others around him, and silently observed the surrounding terrain. He didn't know the goal of this trip, how far was the legendary Pisces jade pendant from here, and he was about to meet this mysterious Pisces. Yupei, he was full of curiosity.

"Dean Zhou, how far is it?" Finally Xiao Ling couldn't bear it, and asked Zhou Kesheng in a low voice.

Zhou Kesheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not sure either."

Xiao Ling said: "You don't know either?" He thought to himself that he was a survivor of the scientific expedition team, since he had seen the Pisces jade pendant before, he should know the exact location.

Zhou Kesheng pondered for a while, and then said: "It is not fixed, I can't describe it in words, you will understand it when you see it."

Xiao Ling was stunned, isn't it fixed? Could this Pisces jade pendant be able to fly with its wings? This week Kesheng's words always make people cloudy and misleading, and he was about to ask again, when suddenly a rustling sound came from the darkness in the distance.

The sound attracted everyone's attention, and immediately several beams of light radiated towards the direction of the sound, and the submachine guns held by several team members also pointed in that direction.

In the bright beam of the searchlight, three huge black shadows appeared, which were three giant lizards.

These three lizards, more than three meters long, are gray-white in color. They opened their big mouths with poisonous saliva, and trampled on the colorful mushroom-like plants on the ground. They were startled by the light beams and let out a loud roar. , rushed towards the crowd.

Before they got close, there was a faint stench in the air.

Xiao Ling had never seen such a scene before. As soon as his scalp tightened, his muscles tensed up, just like a hedgehog opened its spines and entered a state of alert.

The three fully armed team members reacted quickly and rushed forward. The light submachine gun in their hands spewed out flames, and a series of bullets were shot out.

This kind of submachine gun looks small and light, but it is actually extremely powerful. It can hunt and kill elephants. Although the three white monitor lizards have thick skin and thick flesh, they can't reach them. , and soon fell to the ground without moving, and lost their lives. Under their huge bodies, the squashed mushroom plants leaked colorful juices, which were slowly flowing around.

The three ferocious-looking monitor lizards were easily dealt with. Xiao Ling saw that Zhou Kesheng, Professor Li Zhibao and the others were calm, and they were obviously people who had experienced strong winds and waves.

The short and fat Wang Lei walked up a few steps, holding a pipe in his right hand and shining a searchlight on the three monitor lizard corpses in his left hand, saying: "This is an albino mutant Komodo dragon. It is indeed rare to survive in this kind of underground world without light, because without light, their eyes are almost degenerated, and they should rely on sound to sense and catch prey."

Xiao Ling knew that the members of this scientific expedition were not simple people. This Wang Lei looked unremarkable, but he was actually a zoologist. He could recognize it as a mutant albino Komodo dragon at a glance, and said Not surprisingly, Xiao Ling himself had no idea what species of lizard it was except that it looked like a monitor lizard.

Wang Lei was talking about the species of the three dead monitor lizards, while Pang Yan stepped forward with a camera and took a few photos of the three dead albino Komodo dragons.

Sun Tao waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly, the bloody smell of this monitor lizard may cause trouble, and it's not safe to rest here."

Sun Tao's main responsibility is to ensure the absolute safety of the ten members including Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao. Since he said so, everyone didn't dare to hesitate. They picked up their camping backpacks and continued on their way to leave here quickly.
