Crazy Six did not directly answer Xiao Lei's words, but took out a small piece of "mountain smoke" and asked me to hold an umbrella for him. He lit the piece of "mountain smoke" and threw it into the hole.

A sharp cry came from the cave, and we were a little familiar with that cry - it seemed like the cry of a giant eagle!

Is there a giant eagle in the cave? We were all stunned.

However, Xiao Lei could use that whistle to deal with the giant eagle, so we were confident and were not too scared or panicked. We were just a little surprised because we didn't expect there to be a giant eagle inside.

We listened carefully, and the cry of the giant eagle gradually became smaller and seemed to be slowly fading away. But after only two or three minutes, suddenly, a sharp cry came from above our heads.

When we looked up from under the umbrella, we were all shocked. In the sky, there was a huge bird that we had never seen before. Originally, the giant eagle was the largest bird we had ever seen, but compared with this bird, the giant eagle was the largest.

It is only one-third of its size. This bird is so big that it feels like it is blocking out the sky, like a huge dark cloud. I never expected that there are such big birds in the world.

Before we could react, the big bird screamed and swooped down towards us with an overwhelming momentum. We were completely intimidated by this momentum and stood there in a daze, forgetting to even escape.

Xiao Lei reacted the fastest. He quickly put his fingers into his mouth, and immediately, a whistling sound came from his mouth.

His whistle was extremely effective in dealing with birds. Even such a giant bird seemed a little unbearable when it heard Xiao Lei's whistle. It dived halfway and then flew away in a hurry. Although the giant bird did not rush

When we came down, the air currents it carried blew the umbrellas out of our hands, and all the rainwater carried by the air currents poured on us.

Xiao Lei did not dare to slack off at all, still puffing out his cheeks and whistling fiercely, which made the giant bird very painful, but if it just gave up, it seemed to be unwilling, so it still stumbled around and flew around, as if

As soon as the whistle stops, it seems to come back again.

Xiao Lei whistled and retreated out of the pit. His cousin shouted loudly: "Everyone, go back quickly."

We quickly picked up our umbrellas, followed Xiao Lei, ran out of the crater, and then ran to the yard in front. Amidst Xiao Lei's whistle, we finally returned to the house safely. Everyone was panting and shocked.

Fortunately, the giant bird didn't come after us, so we breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone changed their clothes and took some clothes, the mood gradually stabilized. Mr. Chen couldn't help but said with sincerity that after living here for so long, he didn't even know that there were so many strange things in the crater.

Although this expedition in the rain encountered certain dangers, it was very fruitful, because through the giant bird, we not only learned that there is a huge space in the crater, but also learned that there is most likely a huge space around the crater.

The entrance leads to the bottom of the crater.

But for one of the mysteries, we are still at a loss: that is - what happened to the mysterious disappearance of Xiao Lei and the others? Crazy Six said that it can be solved this time. Although we did make a lot of discoveries just now, but

We still can't figure out how these are related to the disappearance of Xiaolei and Hongmei.

Everyone was waiting for Crazy Six to explain, but no one expected that as soon as Crazy Six opened his mouth, we were stunned: "You may not have thought that that 'human bird' is actually a parasite."

As a professional doctor, Hongmei was the first to object: "How is this possible? That 'human bird' is as big as a baby. How can the parasite be so big?"

In response to Hongmei's rebuttal, Crazy Six had not yet spoken, but the old man Ouyang on the side quickly explained: "Well, such large parasites are indeed very rare, especially in modern times, but in paleontology, such large parasites

They did exist. They lived in the intestines of some carnivorous dinosaurs and decomposed the meat in the intestines of those carnivorous dinosaurs.

Those carnivorous dinosaurs hardly chewed their prey, and sometimes swallowed it whole. Therefore, it greatly increased the digestive burden in the intestines. It is these large parasites that can successfully digest the meat in their intestines.

I remember telling you that in order to find out the origin of the 'Monkey Eagle', I read a lot of books on biology, especially paleontology, so I have some understanding of it."

Cousin uncle and Madman Liu smiled and nodded at Old Man Ouyang's explanation. Hongmei blushed and said with some embarrassment, "That's because I am ignorant. I really didn't know that parasites could grow so big.

"

"Old senior, I still don't understand. How do you determine that the 'human bird' is a parasite? What kind of animal does it parasitize on?" the female translator continued to ask.

Crazy Six took a sip of water and said calmly: "Actually, the meridians of parasites are very special compared with other creatures. They have only one meridian, from beginning to end, without any branches, because only this kind of super

Simple meridians will not interfere with the host's meridians.

The meridians of all parasites, whether roundworms, hookworms, or other parasites, have this characteristic, and the meridians of the 'human bird' have this characteristic.

Moreover, the color and frequency of the only meridian were very similar to those of an eagle, so I guessed that it should be a parasite living in the eagle's body. When I came to this conclusion, even I couldn't believe it.

But the characteristics of the meridians tell me that this judgment is correct.

If an eagle can have such a large parasite in its body, that eagle should be much larger than a giant eagle. Therefore, I concluded that there must be a super-large bird nearby. In fact, it is also a kind of eagle.

In addition, through what researcher Wang said and Xuan Heng’s experience, we can know that these strange birds are related to the crater, so I think that kind of super large bird is also likely to be under the crater.

The aura inside the crater has been destroyed by the "mountain smoke". Of course, some of the "human birds" inside will have to get out.

Since 'man-birds' are parasites in the body of that big bird, why did they come outside? I think it may be that these 'man-birds' have matured in the body of that big bird, and then they follow the big bird.

The bird droppings were expelled."

Listening to what Madman Six said, I felt sick.

Hongmei seemed to suddenly realize something, and asked excitedly: "I understand, you mean that Xiaolei and I were not snatched away by that kind of giant eagle, but by this big bird

Captured? Is that so?"

Crazy Six smiled and nodded: "Well, that's it."

Xiao Lei shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not right. If we were really caught by that big bird, the parts of our bodies that were caught would definitely be bruised and bruised. But apart from minor scratches and bruises, we both had minor bruises."

, but there are no serious wounds, how can we explain this?"

This is also a common question for everyone - yes, since they were caught by the big bird, there must be serious scratches on their bodies, but in fact there were not. Moreover, both of them were wearing light summer clothes.

Maybe they were arrested just by looking at their clothes.

Regarding this seemingly unanswerable question, Crazy Six still just smiled lightly and said: "It seems that you are not observing carefully enough."

This sentence made everyone stunned, wondering what he meant.

Crazy Six continued to explain: "When the big bird was hovering in the sky just now, I made a special observation. It was very different from ordinary eagles, or in other words, very different from ordinary birds - the ends of its legs were not claws.

It’s something like a suction cup.”

As soon as Crazy Six said this, even his usually calm cousin couldn't help being surprised. That big bird didn't have claws, but only something like a sucker?

After being stunned for a while, my cousin used his expertise as a literary and historical expert and talked about the historical records of this bird:

"This kind of eagle without talons is actually recorded in the county chronicle, but the county chronicle does not say that this kind of eagle really exists, but just regards it as a kind of folklore. They are called 'sucker eagles', but in the legend

This kind of eagle is about the same size as an ordinary eagle.

This kind of 'sucker eagle' lives in a cave. Their way of perching is a bit like a bat, hanging upside down. Moreover, this kind of 'sucker eagle' breeding method is also very special - its eggshell is a layer of almost

The eaglet has a transparent membrane and does not need to be hatched. As long as it is exposed to the sun for a while, the young eagle will break out of the shell. This should be close to viviparous, but the young eagle born in this way does not have a single feather, and many parts of the body are also damaged.

It is not fully developed and is still close to an embryo. At this time, the 'Western Eagle' will swallow the baby bird into its belly and let the baby bird continue to develop in its belly. After a period of time, the baby bird will be spit out again.

The bird is almost fully developed and has feathers.

It is said that young birds that have just emerged from the eggs and have not yet been swallowed are effective in treating smallpox and plague. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a serious plague broke out here. There were only three houses within a hundred miles.

The hunters survived, and these three families of hunters ate the young birds of this 'sucker eagle'."

After listening to the introduction by our cousin, we felt that this kind of "sucker eagle" is indeed wonderful. But what is the relationship between that big bird and the "sucker eagle"? It is still unknown, although their feet are both

They are sucker-shaped, but the size difference is too big.

Until now, we have found the most logical explanation for the disappearance of Xiaolei and Hongmei:

When Hongmei and Xiaolei looked at the skull stone with a magnifying glass, a special gas was released from it. It was this special gas that caused the two to temporarily lose their memory, but their intelligence and reaction abilities

, but was not affected.

At this moment, the big bird appeared and tried to attack them. Xiao Lei resisted desperately and stabbed the big bird with a dagger, leaving a pool of blood next to the skull stone.

In this way, the two of them fought with the big bird until they reached the boulder, and were finally sucked up by the big bird with a suction cup. But in the process of flying away, it was probably Xiao Lei who suddenly remembered that whistle, so

He used that whistle to break away from the big bird.

In addition, it may be that after the big bird sucked the two people with its suction cup, it could not fly very high immediately, so the scratches on the two people's bodies were caused by being hung on the branches of the tree. Finally, with the help of the whistle, they broke free.

caught the big bird and fell down.

"Is the blood stain next to the skull stone really that of the big bird?" the female translator frowned and asked with confusion on her face.

The cousin nodded and said: "Yes, this point is very important, but there is a large amount of blood stains on Xiao Lei's clothes. It should not be Xiao Lei's blood stains, but is consistent with the blood stains next to the skull stone. We can use 'monkey'

The eagle's sense of smell can help us determine whether it is bird blood or human blood."
