"The cave may be an illusion that the tank is real … After all, the people who stayed on the shore were not attacked by the spirit." Ke Lan analyzed, "We can try to turn our minds. Is it possible that the tank can only arrive when it is half asleep?"
Chapter two hundred and seventy-nine Suspected soil-returning creatures
"No way …" The hound opened his mouth and looked startled. "Is this too mysterious?"
However, in a second, a wry smile was pulled out at the corner of the hound’s mouth. "But there is nothing to make a fuss about what we have experienced …"
"You said the jar put stone table and then? You went and took the can away? " Koran asked mercenaries
"No … the jar is not directly placed on the stone platform, and there is a pedestal at the bottom," said the mercenary. "The guide guy told us that this pedestal is really an insurance machine. If we remove the jar by force, the pedestal device will smash the jar and release the contents of the jar."
"What’s in the jar?" The hound followed his words and asked without waiting for the mercenary to answer. His face suddenly changed. "You said that the contents of the jar would run out if it was broken … so now this thing has not come out?" The collapse tunnel can kill people, but can’t it break a glass jar? Do you dare to go back and look for cans? "
"That can should not be broken …" Mercenaries repeatedly shook their heads. "Although it is made of glass, it seems to be a very special kind of glass with a strength of 10 mm higher than the armored plate of the chariot. It doesn’t even have any trace when it is played … what is in it? I really don’t know that the liquid in the can is very turbid, just like a cylinder of ink, I can’t see the contents …"
"You are really not afraid of death, knowing that it will be a big trouble for the things inside to escape, and dare to fight against the cans and guns?" Said the hound
"It was a stray bullet that accidentally hit the can … I wouldn’t have noticed it if Ryan hadn’t told me about it," replied the mercenary.
"A stray bullet? There was a battle in the cave? Did you mean this when you went to’ accident’? " Kelan frowned and asked
Arguably, since there were no casualties before the mercenary team withdrew from the cave, it means that the fighting intensity is not great … But if the fighting intensity is not exaggerated, what will this "accident" delay their scheduled evacuation?
"We did have a firefight in the cave, but when I say accident, I don’t mean it …"
"Then you say the firefight first. Who are your enemies? Indigenous creatures? Or some … more bizarre monsters? "
"I don’t know what it is …" The mercenary murmured. "When we climbed to the platform and prepared to get the cans, a lot of things came out of nowhere around the platform … a lot …"
He frowned as if he were constipated-it was obvious that the mercenary could not find a suitable word to describe what they had encountered in his poor vocabulary for a while.
"How to say it … it’s a bit like minced meat … no … it should be said that minced meat is more accurate … it’s the kind of minced meat that the blender beats very finely when making meatballs in Chinese restaurants. They are also pale pink and give people a very sticky feeling … it’s a bit like mixing a lot of water and mud … These minced meat came out from the bottom of the platform and soon filled the circle around the platform with a deep ditch of more than one meter … They climbed towards the platform after being flush with the platform.
"Kelan … could it be that thing?" The hound slowly rubbed his stubble and said to Koran in a very fearful tone
Koran knows what hounds mean-Leviathan’s red meat worms do move in a way that is somewhat similar to what this mercenary calls "meat paste" …
But Kelan shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t be … Those insects look like a red tide from a distance, but when they get close, they can still distinguish the individual outline. These mercenaries are not far from those paste … Besides, if they are those insects, they have already been eaten."
Kelan saw the eyes lying on the mercenaries and said, "I didn’t ask you to stop talking."
"Oh … oh, oh … those, those goo poured in, and Ryan and I first reacted with guns, but there was no difference between hitting them with bullets and hitting the dirt … not only bullets, but also flames. I watched Ryan throw a molotov cocktail into the goo, but the flame was extinguished as soon as it rose, and the body of the molotov cocktail was wrapped in those goo …
I quickly knocked out the magazine … Just when I was going to exchange it later, an exile suddenly grabbed my shoulder and told everyone not to retreat and do as he did … "
"Do what he does?"
"He … he took out a dagger and cut his arm with a knife, which made the blood drop to the ground … it’s strange that the meat paste stopped approaching them after smelling the blood, and reached out a very slender tentacle to contact the man, and the blood dropped out and then returned.
He shouted at us,’ if you don’t want to be swallowed, treat your blood as a sacrifice. They won’t attack you after swallowing it!’ ….. To tell you the truth, I don’t believe a word of it, but Ryan did, and after he did, the paste really stopped crawling towards him! "
Said the mercenary, holding out a piece of wrist with a healed scar. "I did the same. The exile didn’t lie to us. After we dripped blood, the paste returned to the platform and disappeared soon …"
"I do remember that there is an indigenous creature that is very similar to what you said, but some features are exactly the opposite …" Corran mused.
"What is it?" The hound asked.
There is no way to determine whether a special creature named’ soil-returning’ is an independent individual or a group, and it can be classified into the existing biological taxonomies. Alpha star has been witnessed in several’ dry valleys’ near the South Pole.
Kelan paused and flashed a trace of doubt. "But according to the existing data, the cultivated land is a kind of gray, white and muddy creature that likes to live in a very dry area … and the opposite of what you call’ meat mud’ is that cultivated land will become very aggressive after it comes into contact with human blood. Half of the exploration team who witnessed cultivated land for the first time died because of this."
One is to take a small amount of blood and then walk away, while the other is to kill when it smells blood … Even if these two "creatures" are similar in appearance, it is hard to say that they belong to the same creature.
"Could it be a close relative species? Or … subspecies and variants? " The hound guessed.
"It’s possible … and I think these things have been modified and domesticated by alphas … it’s the only thing that makes me wonder why they will react to human blood …"
Even if these minced meat are really cultivated by the Alpha people, the most normal reaction after they suck the blood of the alien species "human" should be to expel these "invaders" from the ruins instead of retreating like pets fed by their owners …
This is really confusing.
"After the paste disappeared, we went to work … the two exiles asked us to hold the surface of the pot by hand, and they themselves took out a dozen finger-thick metal sticks with strange lines engraved on the surface. After a while, they asked us to hold the pot and insert the metal sticks into the base of the pot one by one, just like inserting a key."
