Hu Xiuwu and the others took a small boat and followed the Snake River to the waterway that Liao Zhong and the others had found before.
Wang Kaixuan held the handle of the engine and controlled the direction of the boat, heading deeper into the cave.
After completely entering the cave, everyone turned on their own flashlights and headlamps. Hu Bayi turned on the large spotlight on the bow of the boat to help Wang Kaixuan illuminate the road ahead.
The cave is under the snow-capped mountains. The temperature in the cave is extremely low, the water is bitingly cold, and there are stalactite pillars hanging upside down from the top of the cave. But as they walked further, they found that the cave became more and more strange.
The walls of the cave were no longer surrounded by naturally formed stone pillars, but instead turned into human pupae that were obviously man-made.
These human pupae range from fat to thin, tall to short. They have been hanging in the cave for an unknown length of time. The surface of the human pupae has been covered with a thin layer of rock.
"Let me go, couldn't these be done by King Xian?" Wang Kaixuan shouted from the stern of the boat.
Liao Zhong asked Wang Kaixuan to pull the boat aside and take a closer look at what was going on with these human pupae.
Hu Xiuwu looked at the human chrysalis next to the boat, and controlled the ghost tomb to fire out a burst of energy. The air column shot from the ghost tomb hit the chrysalis' abdomen.
Just like breaking an egg, the surface of the human pupa breaks into several pieces like an eggshell, and the soup and water inside leak out.
Every human pupa is a nest of insects, filled with eggs that have not yet hatched.
Lao Meng carefully studied the characteristics of these eggs, pushed up his glasses, and reflected the light of knowledge:
"Looking at the characteristics of the eggs, these eggs seem to be those of water wasps, but they are much larger than normal water wasp eggs."
In order to break through the limits of the beast master, Lao Meng studied biology assiduously and successfully became a graduate student in the biology department of Bathing University.
If it weren't for the difficulty of finding a job in biology, the salary of being a biology teacher is too low, and he also has to raise two children and a wife who spends money like water.
He will not work as a temporary worker everywhere.
Wang Kaixuan twitched his nose: "Hey, Old Hu, Xiuwu, do you think there is a familiar smell in this man's chrysalis?"
After hearing what Wang Kaixuan said, Hu Xiuwu also took a deep breath.
The smell of corpses wafts in the cave, and underneath the smell of stone rust, there is also a hint of fragrance.
Hu Xiuwu suddenly realized: "Isn't this the taste of the fish soup in that Ma DaDaFang shop? It turns out that the real function of the fish soup is to make evil spirits."
Ma Daudao's fish is actually a basic material of the worm technique, which is used to make worm bait and feed the insect voodoo.
It's just that Ma Bingdao doesn't know the art of killing, so he can only use the killing fish as a strange poison.
Hu Bayi said: "The environment here is so disgusting and scary. No wonder Peacock's brother never brings Peacock here."
Liao Zhong said: "Everyone, be careful. This is probably a trap set by King Xian. I'm afraid it's not very safe here. Fatty, keep moving forward."
Wang Kaixuan restarted the boat's engine and drove the boat towards the direction of Worm Valley.
The roar of the speedboat engine was amplified by the reflection of the cave, making people's ears ring.
Before they could get far, the human chrysalis in the cave kept trembling, as if the movement of the boat woke them up.
In the early morning, when people are sleeping soundly, is it too much for you to pass by in your car with the stereo playing advertisements, especially when your car is earlier than the alarm clock?
It wakes everyone up, so don't blame them for getting angry.
One after another, human pupae swayed and fell from the cave wall into the water, creating splash after splash.
The eggs inside the human pupa, when exposed to water, quickly break out and grow into mature water wasps.
Don't be fooled by the name of the water wasp. Although it has bees in its name, it actually has no wings and does not look like a bee. They are more like leeches and can cling to people's bodies to suck blood.
Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi were startled when they saw the dense number of water wasps swarming towards the boat. Shirley Yang also had goosebumps all over her body.
On the contrary, Hu Xiuwu and Liao Zhong were very leisurely. Liao Zhong was even in the mood to take out his cigarettes, light one, and puff away.
"Lao Meng, come on, if you don't take action, those boys will be scared."
Lao Meng was called out by Liao Zhong and could no longer fish. He could only sit on the edge of the boat and put his hand into the water.
Lao Meng's Qi spread out in circles from his hands, touching the Queen Bee,
These water wasps immediately turned into licking dogs, circling around the boat and becoming its guards.
The smell of water wasps attracted a green-scaled python that fed on water wasps.
Anacondas in nature are not poisonous, but the anacondas in caves have obviously been modified by the magic technique and feed on water pythons. I am afraid it cannot be speculated according to common sense.
Hu Xiuwu crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the boat:
"Uncle Meng, there's another one over there,"
Lao Meng wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "This thing requires some effort. Snakes are still smarter than bugs."
The green-scaled python slipped into the water from the stone pillar next to it, opened its bloody mouth, and feasted.
Before it had eaten its fill, the green-scaled python followed in the footsteps of the water pigeons, guarding the boat together with the water pigeons and clearing the way in front of the boat.
Not long after, the sound of iron pieces rubbing against each other came from the water again.
Shirley Yang heard the noise and shined her flashlight on the river behind: "It's a saber-toothed viper, a ferocious piranha. A school of saber-toothed vipers can chew a buffalo into a skeleton in an instant."
Shirley Yang talked about how scary the sword-toothed viper fish was, but her expression didn't change at all, and her tone wasn't panicked, but rather calm.
It's like seeing a rare fish in an aquarium and introducing it to your friends.
No surprise, the knife-toothed viperfish swarm surrounded the water wasp again.
Before entering the cave, they still only had one small boat. After entering, they already had three layers of guards inside and three layers outside.
There is also a vanguard general who is leading the way.
The small boat docked calmly, and under the command of Lao Meng, the green-scaled python became the vanguard (cannon fodder) of the team.
He went ashore first and crawled back and forth on the shore to check whether the surroundings were safe.
Seeing the blue-scaled python jumping alive on the shore, Lao Meng jumped on the shore and made a safety gesture towards the boat.
Liao Zhong then went up with a cigarette in his mouth.
Hu Xiuwu took a breath, followed Lao Meng and Liao Zhong with his bag, and jumped onto the shore.
At the end of the team were Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi, who were in a daze. Their faces looked like they had seen a new world.
Is that all?
Looking back at the near-death experience at General Niuxinshan's Tomb and Longling, looking back at the current situation, which was like traveling, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan seemed to understand something.
What does it mean to specialize in a skill, and what does it mean to have a yamen as a backing to cultivate oneself.
How can a general who is a lieutenant in Faqiu and a lieutenant who touches gold be capable of government archeology?
After everyone came ashore, Lao Meng released his control over the water worms and saber-toothed vipers.
After Lao Meng left, both parties woke up and noticed each other's presence.
The school of fish and insects paused for a moment, and the prey and predator discovered each other at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the water was boiling.
