Zhang Zhuxun turned the knob at the bottom of the glass jar, and the back of Wu Xie's hand was quickly sucked until it swelled, and black blood flowed out from the two small holes.
In just a moment, a pool of black blood as big as a bottle cap slowly gathered inside the transparent glass cupping device.
Feeling that the suction was almost done and the color of the blood began to normalize, Zhang Zhuxun turned Wu Xie's hand sideways so that the poisonous blood inside would gather on the side of the jar to prevent it from flowing back and contaminating the wound.
"This kind of glass snake itself is not very toxic. This method can only suck out part of the poisonous blood, and the rest has to be metabolized by itself." Zhang Zhu said.
Glass snakes generally do not attack creatures that are dozens of times larger than themselves. Its longest size is only about 1.2 meters. It is better at hiding and escaping than actively attacking.
Therefore, after subconsciously biting Wu Xie, it immediately disconnected its body. When Zhang Zhuoxun discovered it, its head had already disappeared.
Hearing Zhang Zhuoxun's words, the fat man felt relieved, turned around, looked around, and muttered: "Speaking of Zhang Haike, that old boy has been nowhere to be seen for a while. Where did he go?"
Zhang Haike seemed to have predicted in advance that they would fall from this gap, and left enough lighting tools in advance to prevent them from being smeared and blinded when they came down.
The range that the fluorescent stick can illuminate is limited. The fat man said something to Zhang Zhuxun, then pulled out a fluorescent stick and held it in his hand, stepping on the messy pile of bones and walking nearby.
The bones piled up on the ground have been decayed for different years, and some have begun to turn into powder. They are scattered in random directions, and it is impossible to find who is the head and who is the tail.
Some bones still have a lot of minced meat attached to them, which has rotted and infested with maggots of various colors, burrowing in and out of the carrion, working hard.
The fat man recognized it as a cow skull from the two big upright horns, which came from a strong yak.
The fat man put on the gas mask as if he were wearing a war-grade helmet. After cutting off most of the ferocious smell, his mood became obviously more active.
I clicked my tongue with pity in my heart, thinking that no wonder the smell here was so horrible. It turned out that the pit itself was a garbage dump, and the environment was full of pollutants.
The pit they are currently in is not very large, only about two meters deep. The area inside the pit has blunt ends and a round belly, resembling a flat oval cellar.
The fat man slowly swayed around the wall of the pit, and his face gradually became serious. Years of experience in going to tombs told him that the shape of this pit was a bit wrong.
This place does not seem to be an ordinary corpse pit, but a specially excavated building with a special structure.
He found that the walls of the two opposite long sides of the oval pit were inlaid with many ivory-like white pillars. They were flat in shape and arranged very regularly. The color was slightly yellowish.
There are countless honeycomb-like pits on the surface, as if they have been emptied by ants.
The intervals between each pillar are half a meter, and they stand evenly. The extended part extending upward gives people the feeling of being very similar to the bone supports that support a dome tent.
The fat man raised his head and looked up, and saw that the ends of the ivory-like flat pillars on both sides were neatly gathered together towards the middle and connected to a thick white beam.
When he saw the shape of the beam clearly, the fat man's pupils suddenly shrank. He suddenly realized something and turned his head suddenly to look at the white flat pillars again.
When he saw it, he suddenly gasped - this damn thing was actually a fossil, and they happened to be in the belly of a giant beast fossil!
The fat man felt that the pores all over his body were trembling. Something had used the fossil of this giant beast as a nest. This was where it stored and fed, so the bones here showed different scenes of old and new.
.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and ran back to Zhang Zhuxun, urging anxiously: "Muyu, hurry up, let's get out of here. We can't stay in this place any longer. The fat man just discovered that there may be other terrible things here."
Living in this pit.”
A creature capable of hunting a one-ton wild yak is no less difficult to deal with than Hydra Cypress.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zhuxun put a gas mask on Wu Xie, treated the wound, gave him an injection of antibiotics, moved him into a sleeping bag, and looked at the fat man, "Tell me carefully, what did you find?"
After the fat man finished talking like this, he added: "Fat Master estimates that there is a giant python living here. Only a python can swallow such a big yak in one bite. We accidentally fell into the python's food bowl."
"
As he was talking, he remembered, "Didn't I see a big snake in my dream before I was naive? I guess it was it."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhuoxun shook his head and denied: "It can't be a python. There are no traces of snake sloughing or fallen scales here. The stone here is too soft, which is not suitable for the choice of skin grinding environment when the python is about to shed its skin."
.”
"Moreover, pythons will not spit out bones. The gastric juice of snakes is very powerful and can completely penetrate into the bones of animals and digest the hard bones."
The fact that such obvious animal bones can be left behind means that the people living here must not be snakes. As for what they are specifically...
Zhang Zhuoxun casually picked up a long bone, carefully looked at the gnawing, scratching and biting marks on it, and said: "I estimate that these bones should have been eaten by the long-tailed creatures we bombed before.
of."
"The body length plus tail length of that thing is more than two meters. I feel that they are also a lizard-like creature that likes to eat carrion."
There are traces of corrosion on the bones all over the place, indicating that the lizards with human heads and double claws like to poison their prey and then store it, waiting for the meat to rot to their liking with the help of microorganisms, and then eat it.
Due to years of scavenging, the mutated human-headed lizard's own existence has become special, just like the living corpse in the tomb.
"But you're right about one thing. You really can't stay in this place for too long." Zhang Zhuxun wrapped Wu Xie in a sleeping bag, hugged him horizontally, looked at the mountain wall above, and said, "Since entering this area,
, I always felt like something was staring at us in the dark."
The fat man smacked his tongue, "How could you not wipe out those grandsons with such indiscriminate bombing?"
"This is the old nest, and all the ones left behind must be cubs." Zhang Zhuxun raised his legs and stepped onto the bone mountain, "Let's leave here first. Zhang Haike must have left us clues ahead."
"Okay." The fat man picked up the remaining light sticks and followed Zhang Zhu for a few steps. Then he suddenly turned around, held the light sticks in both hands, and danced toward the back while humming and laughing.
