Chapter 699 Cocoon
The three of them walked about thirty meters into the cave, turned a fork, and suddenly smelled a disgusting fishy smell.
Lan Qingling subconsciously covered her nose and fanned herself while saying, "What is so smelly? I'm almost vomiting from the fumes!"
Through the dim light in the cave, Su Yuan discovered that there seemed to be a pile of something in a corner diagonally opposite. The disgusting fishy smell was emanating from that pile of things.
"I'll go over and take a look!"
Su Yuan said something, then walked over with bated breath, carefully identified it, and was stunned for a moment.
In the corner was the corpse of a giant python, but all that was left was a skeleton, snake skin, and a pool of disgusting slime.
There were still many maggots crawling on the python's skin. Apparently it had just died and was eaten by something, leaving only the bones and skin.
Beside the corner, there were actually several corpses of giant lizards. However, the bellies of these giant lizards were empty. Even their thick thighs were gone. Only their heads and a pair of incomplete bones were left.
The tool is complete.
Both giant pythons and giant lizards are at the top of the food chain on this island. What kind of creature is so powerful that it can hunt these two animals and use them as food?
"Brother, what did you find?"
Lan Qingling covered her nose and asked Su Yuan. She couldn't see clearly what was happening in the corner.
"Um...you better come over and take a look!"
Su Yuan couldn't think of an answer, so he simply responded like this.
"It stinks! I don't want to go there."
Lan Qingling refused directly. She was made uncomfortable by the stench.
Although Yu Baiying also felt it smelled bad, she could still bear it, so she walked over.
When she saw the mutilated corpses of the giant python and the giant lizard in the corner, Yu Baiying was shocked and asked Su Yuan quickly: "What did this do?"
"I don't know yet, but being able to hunt giant pythons and giant lizards shows that those things are very powerful and possess terrifying power!"
Su Yuan analyzed it this way.
Yu Baiying felt a chill in her heart. She still clearly remembered the previous attack by the giant lizard, but it was so scary that the giant lizard even ate things!
"Brother, it's too smelly here, let's not go in!"
Lan Qingling, who was diagonally opposite, said this again.
"Let's move on! The situation inside may be better."
Su Yuan said this, because although he also felt disgusted, he also had a feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.
"Oh! Okay then!"
Lan Qingling covered her nose and walked over reluctantly.
When she saw the corpses of giant pythons and giant lizards in the corner, she was shocked again: "Oh my god! This... this is too scary!"
"Xiao Ling, if you are afraid, don't go in."
Su Yuan deliberately said this to Lan Qingling.
"No, no, no! I, I want to go in with you! I won't stay here."
Lan Qingling shook her head hurriedly.
So the three of them walked towards the depths of the cave...
The further you go inside, the more dead animals you find, including not only pythons and giant lizards, but also animals such as civets, rabbits, wild boars, and even leopards.
Moreover, the carcasses of these animals were all eaten away, leaving only skeletons and tattered furs. The cave was filled with a nauseating stench.
Lan Qingling was shocked and scared. She even wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't dare.
At this time, Su Yuan saw some light in the distance, as if he was almost reaching the end of the cave.
So Su Yuan quickened his pace, and Lan Qingling and Yu Baiying followed immediately.
The three of them walked quickly toward the light, and after a while, they reached the other end of the cave.
What appeared in front of the three people was a grassland surrounded by rugged peaks and rocks. There was a gap at the end of the grassland, which seemed to lead to somewhere.
"There is a gap over there, which may lead to other places on the island. Let's get there quickly!"
Lan Qingling saw the gap and suggested this.
"good!"
Su Yuan nodded, and the three of them quickened their pace.
When approaching the gap, Su Yuan suddenly saw a white mass appearing behind a rock.
Su Yuan took a closer look and saw that the thing was an Asian man in his thirties!
However, the man's whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of something like a white cocoon, making him look like a mummy!
Moreover, the man was already dead, his head was still exposed, his eyes were bulging, and his mouth was wide open. It was obvious that he had suffered great pain before dying.
The most bizarre thing is that a big hole was cut on the top of the man's head, and a lot of brains and blood flowed out, but they have become dry.
Lan Qingling and Yu Baiying also discovered the dead man and hurriedly went over to take a look.
"This man... died miserably! What is his background?"
Lan Qingling looked at the man's tragic death and felt a little panicked.
"Well... regardless of his identity, the way he died seems to be exactly the same as Ma Tong in the cave."
Yu Baiying said this while looking at the dead man.
Su Yuan and Lan Qingling were startled. The dead man in front of them did indeed die in the same way as Ma Tong. A hole was cut in the top of his head, and the brain and bone marrow in the spine were probably sucked out.
The only difference is that this man is wrapped in a thick white cocoon, and I don't know what kind of creature caused it.
"I have never seen such a thick white cocoon. What is it?"
Yu Baiying muttered while looking at the cocoon.
Lan Qingling stretched out her hand to scrape it, put it to her nose and smelled it, and then said: "The smell of this cocoon is the same as the sticky secretion we saw in the cave!"
"Well... So, this layer of white cocoon and the sticky substance in the cave should be the secretions of the same creature!"
Yu Baiying was stunned and blurted out.
"This kind of creature should be lurking nearby!"
Su Yuan suddenly said this.
"Ah? Big brother, you...are you telling the truth?"
When Lan Qingling heard this, her face turned pale.
"I can sense the dangerous aura approaching, but I can't determine its location."
Su Yuan said this again. He had sensed that danger was approaching, but when he tried to scan it with his "Sky Eye", it was all blurry for some unknown reason.
While they were talking, the three of them suddenly felt a darkness above their heads, and a strange black shadow jumped out from the top of a stone peak in front of them, carrying a stench of fishy wind and sweeping towards them.
Su Yuan reacted very quickly and immediately raised his right hand.
"call out!"
A "palm thunder", with a dazzling thunder light, blasted towards the black figure.
"Boom!"
The "Thunder in the Palm" that Su suddenly launched contained powerful power, and its power was quite astonishing. Wherever the thunder swept, rubble exploded and flew away!
"Squeak..."
The black figure that suddenly appeared was also hit by the "Palm Thunder", let out a shrill strange cry, and then jumped up.
Whoosh!
Chapter completed!
