Chapter 39, Water Monsters
It was already late at night when I arrived at the Oasis Camp. The temperature dropped sharply and the breath was white. I was wrapped in a gray blanket and a fire was set up in the camp. It was inconvenient to move at night. Everyone was going to start again the next morning.
Su Yalin and Xu Fo sat on both sides of me, and Wu Bing sat opposite me. Compared to my blind eyes, the expressions of these three people were much more strange. Let’s talk about Su Yalin first. His face was full of excitement, staring at the stars in the night, and he kept making some self-talking sounds, such as: “A lot of stars are invisible now.” “The air outside is better, fresh, and it’s too great to be under the water.”
Xu Fo was extremely calm. He was always calm and calm. He reached out his hand and baked it on the fire and said, "Shut up your mouth, it's so noisy."
Su Yawei was also very strange. He looked so terrifying. But he seemed very afraid of Xu Fo. Xu Fo yelled, he really closed his eyes.
Wu Bing, opposite me, was filled with joy, treasures, archaeological discoveries, and the ancient city of Loulan. These sensitive combinations made Wu Bing unable to fall asleep and even more unable to calm down.
"By the way, do you want to reveal where the ancient city of Loulan is? Is it under this water?"
He asked excitedly, but Su Yashi shook her head slightly and said, "I brought you here not because there is an ancient tomb under this area of water. It is impossible for anyone to put the ancient tomb under the water."
Wu Bing was stunned when he heard this, frowned in confusion and asked, "If there was no ancient tomb under the water, why did you let us come here?"
Su Yalin smiled coldly and said, "I brought you here because there will be something here to take us into the tomb."
I sensitively noticed that he used the word "thing" instead of people.
"What? You'll tell me clearly."
Wu Bing was anxious, but Su Yalin stood up from the ground wrapped in a blanket and whispered: "Before I know this, I will advise you to stay away from the water tonight. Also, there may be many people who will die today."
The night wind was very cold. This was my first night in the Gobi. I slept in a tent. The uneven ground under my body made me unable to sleep. Time passed by minute by minute. I seemed to feel something approaching. Then I vaguely heard the sound of waves. How could there be a sound of water? Is there anyone around the water in the middle of the night?
I rubbed my eyes and climbed up from the ground, walked slowly to the river bank, and looked out from the gap in the tent. When I saw it, I happened to see a dark figure jumping into the water.
Is it a wild beast? But the black shadow just now was thick and long, and it didn't look like an animal. That was a human? But how could anyone jump into the water in the middle of the night?
I took a strange step, but just as I was about to step out of the tent, Su Yalin's voice sounded in my mind, and he said to me gloomyly: "Don't go out if you don't want to die."
After saying this, I immediately took my feet back, but still looked outside. After a few minutes, waves rolled on the water surface. The white waves could be clearly seen under the moonlight, but silently, a black shadow slowly emerged from the water surface, and a thick and dark body slowly exposed in my eyes. A monster, a monster like a long snake or a worm! Array record cloth carrying. (No pop-up ad)
It crawled without any sound. After jumping over the water, it wriggled on the sand. First, it approached the jeep beside the water, and then gently collided with the jeep, but then turned slowly. Then it seemed to look at the tent not far from the jeep. I remember that there were two climate wind surveyors sleeping there. The worms approached the tent bit by bit. I thought there would be screaming inside soon, but after a while, it was still quiet and there was no sound. Soon a man was dragged out and dragged on the ground for a long distance. He seemed to be asleep, and then he seemed to be in a coma. The worm's huge mouthpart bit the man's leg, and the man was slowly pulled to the edge of the water without knowing it.
I was also nervous. Do you want to scream? Do you want to notify everyone to deal with this worm? The answer was obvious. I did not listen to Su Yalin. At this moment, I suddenly pulled open the curtain of the tent and shouted to the outside: "Come, a monster has attacked humans. Come on, wake up!"
The first thing that was scared was not the sleepy crowd in the tents around, but the monster that was about to drag the person into the water. It suddenly raised its head and looked at me, then shook its whole head violently and threw the man into the water. The huge sound of water finally woke up the people in the tent around. Wu Bing walked out of the tent with sleepy eyes, yawning and shouting: "What's going on? Who is quarreling? Isn't someone vigilant?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a woman shouting. Then Wu Bing opened his eyes wide and looked at the water pool in the distance. He immediately scared half his life and shouted: "Oh my God, there are really dead worms, this is a real dead worm!"
The death worm has always been a creature that only exists in mythology. Has anyone really seen it? Whether it existed before today is a mystery, but at this moment, the answer to this mystery has been revealed, and the price of it is revealed is that someone dies.
Several male members of the expedition team took out something similar to a hunting rifle from their bags and fired several shots at the death worm in front of them. The dead worm who was shot had no wounds on the body, and no blood was seen splashing out.
A man shouted: "This monster's skin is very thick, and it's useless to shoot us, and we can't hurt it at all!"
Wu Bing also lost his composure. When did he encounter this situation? Just when everyone was at a loss, the death worm that had just been passively beaten suddenly jumped out of the water. I could clearly see its huge body, more than ten meters long. A sharp blade with a flashing shining of cold light appeared outside the huge mouthpiece. It fell in front of everyone, and a green liquid was sprayed out from its black mouth, which happened to land on a tent. A big hole was burned out on the surface of the tent. This was made of high toughness. Even if it was burned with fire, it would take a while. But just as the green venom was splashed, a hole was burned out on the spot. While I was surprised, I showed more unimaginable expressions.
"Don't touch the venom of the dead worm! It's extremely corrosive! Everyone retreats, and the women go back."
Wu Bing finally began to command the overall situation. It was something that no one expected to encounter such a monster, but if he just ran away in panic at this time, the consequences would be even more serious if no one commanded it.
The death worm did not attack us, but instead twisted its body and swayed back and forth in front of us. The death worm, which had been quiet, made a "hiss..." sound, which was a little similar to a snake.
"Don't panic, don't shoot first, don't irritate it. You guys go around behind it and find a way to capture it alive. If you can make it into a specimen, it will be a sensational discovery all over the world."
Wu Bing was still thinking about becoming famous when he got to this point, but at this moment, another situation happened that everyone did not expect, and electric arcs burst out from the eyes of the death worm.
According to the records of the Gobi Death Worms, similar words have been written. The death worm's mouth can spray terrifying venom, while its eyes can release electricity. These powerful electricity can kill an adult in an instant.
The arc fell on the ground and emitted a dazzling white light. Standing in front, a male team member holding a hunting rifle had no time to dodge and was covered by an electric arc. He only had time to scream. The man was killed by the arc on the spot, with large pieces of black smoke coming out of his body, and foaming out of his mouth. Even the hunting rifle in his hand emitted a stinking smell of feet under the high heat of the arc.
