"The size of canids in the plateau area is larger than that of ordinary dogs in other areas. The most common Tibetan mastiff in Tibet is a large dog, and some tribes in Tibetan areas also circulate legends about giant divine mastiffs. It is said that it is a It is an extremely rare plateau canine that is nearly twice the size of a Tibetan mastiff," Mr. Ye said.
"Holy crap, this is extremely rare. There are probably hundreds of skeletons here, and I don't know if there are any living creatures," Yu Fei exclaimed as he looked at the entire row of cages along the corridor.
"But why are they all turned into skeletons? They must have starved to death due to no one feeding them," Luo Zi said doubtfully.
Bo Xinwen squatted down, observed carefully, raised his head and said: "They did not starve to death. Judging from their feces, they should have had enough food before they died. Moreover, their death time probably did not exceed ten years." sky,"
"Could it be a mass poisoning death?" Yu Fei thought for a moment and said.
"Damn it, don't worry about when these things died. We're not here to avenge them. This place is very weird. I always feel weird. It's better for everyone to be careful," Ding Laosan said. Then, he took out the Xuantian Sword from his waist and held it in his hand.
"Brother Ding is right, there is a faint murderous aura here, we'd better leave as soon as possible," Kun Yuanzi said, speeding up.
When the others heard this, they didn't care to continue looking at the bones of the strange beasts, and quickly quickened their pace.
As I was walking, there was suddenly a faint "sand" sound of turning the soil.
Ding Laosan immediately stopped and asked, "Did you hear anything? There seemed to be some movement." Everyone also stopped and raised their ears to listen quietly to the sounds around them.
After a while, another "chichi" sound came, like the sound of some kind of insect vibrating its wings.
When Yu Fei heard it, he felt that the sound seemed familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he suddenly got excited and broke into a cold sweat. Wasn't it the sound that the corpse beetle he encountered in the Tai Chi hole made when it flapped its wings and flew.
Before Yu Fei could say anything, he saw a huge beetle flying in front of everyone.
This beetle looks the same as the corpse beetle seen in Tai Chi Cave, but is nearly twice as big. It opens and closes a pair of huge saw-like pincers, which is very scary.
"Damn, it's a corpse beetle, it's so big, I'll fuck it," Ding Laosan yelled. He knew how powerful this thing was. Their pair of large pincers would tear up any living creature, and once this corpse beetle would If they identified it as food, they would summon countless companions. He did not dare to neglect it, so he stepped forward and chopped the corpse beetle flying in mid-air into two halves with a sword.
"Go back quickly," Ye Lao saw this and shouted before turning around and running back.
Yu Fei, Luo Zi and others had all seen the power of corpse beetles and did not dare to neglect them. They also followed Mr. Ye and ran back. However, Bo Xinwen, Li Qiang and the special forces members did not understand what was going on. , it’s just a beetle, how could it be so scared? He was wondering, and was stunned for a moment, while Bo Xinwen wanted to step forward to see clearly what the beetle cut in half by Ding Laosan looked like. , Kun Yuanzi, who turned around, grabbed him and shouted: "Quickly leave,"
Seeing that Kun Yuanzi, a thousand-year-old zombie, had a nervous expression on his face, Bo Xinwen knew that the situation was probably serious, so he waved to everyone: "Get out,"
At this moment, there was another sound of rustling soil.
Ding Laosan turned his head while running and said: "Mom, it's too late, throw a few tear gas canisters quickly and fill the aisle with tear gas."
Ding Laosan had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought that corpse beetles live in dark places and are basically blind. They mainly rely on smell and hearing to find food. In the Tai Chi point, the irritating smell of lime powder interferes. The olfactory system of the corpse beetle is blocked, so that the corpse beetle does not dare to chase it out. Presumably the tear gas can have the same effect.
Bo Xinwen did not bother to ask Ding Laosan why he did this, and he and several special operations team members took out a few tear gas canisters and threw them on the ground.
After a while, with a few "puffing" sounds, several puffs of green smoke spread quickly, and soon enveloped the entire corridor.
Everyone quickly held their breath, quickened their pace and ran out of the corridor, and ran up the stairs for a while before stopping.
Bo Xinwen gasped and asked: "What on earth is this thing? Why are you so afraid of it?"
Ding Laosan looked back with some fear before replying: "It's corpse beetles. These things are gregarious. As long as you find one, it means there is a large group. They will tear up anything edible. We, the people, are not enough for them to chew on,”
"I didn't expect that small beetles can be so powerful. It seems that the corpses of large canids were bitten by corpse beetles." Only then did Bo Xinwen understand why in just ten days or so, nearly 100,000 people died. Hundreds of living large beasts turned into incomplete skeletons in the blink of an eye.
Li Qiang asked: "How to deal with this thing?"
Ding Laosan said: "Last time we encountered this thing, we burned it with fire! It was Brother Luo's idea, but there are no fire materials in the corridor, so there is no way to use fire."
"If I had known this, I should have brought a flamethrower down here,"
"In addition to using fire attacks, is there any other way to deal with it?" Bo Xinwen asked with a frown.
Ding Laosan chuckled: "Hey, to be honest, when we encounter this thing, as long as there are other ways, we usually go around it."
While everyone was talking, there was another sound of wings vibrating. Everyone looked up and saw that two corpse beetles nearly half a foot long were flying closer. Soon after, Kun Yuanzi flew over. He stood up and grabbed a corpse beetle in his hand. With another force, the corpse beetle's body exploded, and a black juice with a fishy smell burst out from its body, splashing out. It's everywhere.
Ding Laosan rushed forward and swung his sword to kill another corpse beetle, but the corpse beetle seemed to sense something was wrong and actually turned around and flew back.
Ding Laosan said in surprise: "What's going on? There are tear gas canisters, why did they fly out?"
Bo Xinwen said: "Tear gas has a time limit, so the tear gas must have been exhausted,"
"But why did that corpse beetle fly back? Maybe it was scared," Luo Zi said.
"It's so scared. It's going to spread the news. I'm afraid a large group of corpse beetles will fly over after a while," Ding Laosan said, and quickly took out two bags of white powder from his backpack.
