Seeing his companion's actions, Xunyou also squatted down and gave it a try.
The result was the same as before, the seal in his hand also showed no reaction at all.
Both of them pretended to be inspecting the corpse, but no one noticed anything unusual about them.
"Mr. Zhan, can you tell me in detail what is going on?"
Hu Peng stood up and asked.
He subconsciously used the name just now, but he couldn't help it. The name Zhannan itself was also more oriental in pronunciation.
"I am also confused about this matter. It was the night before yesterday. This guy came out of nowhere and suddenly attacked my house."
"I was sleeping when this monster broke through my wall, which is the hole you just saw."
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to avoid its sneak attack in time, and then started playing a detour game with this idiot in the house."
Zhan Nan pointed to the wound on the wolf corpse and said:
"Do you see these marks? These are all left by me. I used up all my ammunition, all of them! Including two grenades!"
"God knows how tall this guy is! It took all my attacks without dying, and then chased me all the way here."
He said and patted the big tree beside him.
This is a very thick olive tree, with a diameter at breast height of more than 2.5 meters, which is very rare in this kind of desert edge area.
"I stayed in the tree all night. It must have been seriously injured and it couldn't catch me. I didn't find out until dawn that this guy had died from his injuries."
Zhannan spoke very calmly, but everyone could feel the tension at that time from his words.
Everyone now understands why there are no bullets in Zhan Nan's weapon. In a sense, they still need to thank the wolf for helping consume Lao Zhan's ammunition.
Xun You pried the wolf's mouth with his hand and said:
"The subtle characteristics are consistent with the Hérault wolf, but the size is obviously different. The Hérault wolf is a small subspecies of gray wolf, usually living on the Hérault Peninsula and the northern part of the Sahara Desert. We are currently in There should not be any in this area, but it does not rule out wild groups or individuals that have not yet been discovered."
He touched the wolf corpse again and continued:
"The muscles of this wolf are extremely developed, far exceeding the limits of the same species, and even reaching a level that is beyond the reach of a living creature. The skeleton cannot be judged for the time being, but it must have been strengthened to be able to carry this body... "
"And if you look here, its claws are obviously different from those of canines, but closer to those of cats, which can be slightly expanded and contracted. There are webs between the toes, there are membranes around the eyes, and the nostrils can relax... It is predicted that it can sleep Going down to hunt...is this still an amphibious hunter?"
Everyone listened to his analysis attentively. Xun You followed Master Bei on the adventure for so long, and it was not all in vain. Naturally, he learned a lot.
"Taking it all together, this guy doesn't look like a heterogeneous species, but more like some kind of mutated creature! Could it be that... the animals on Aquamarine have also begun to mutate!?"
As soon as he said these words, the people around him were still a little confused and did not react for a while, but Hu Peng on the side instantly understood what he meant, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"There is something fishy about this matter. It would be better for us to report it as soon as possible. You go tell the Star Master and I will look around to see if there are any clues."
Xun You whispered to Hu Peng, and then began to look around.
Everyone in the Wildfire Team was a little confused and couldn't figure out what these two people were doing, because all their subsequent conversations were in Chinese, so naturally they couldn't understand them.
However, through a few words of dialogue, Zhan Nan began to make some guesses about the identities of these two people.
After a while, Hu Peng ended the satellite call. He had told Zhang Xiaoman what happened here, and the latter said he would come over later to check on the specific situation.
"Gouzi, did you find anything over there?"
Xun You shook his head when he heard this, then looked at Zhan Nan and asked:
"Mr. Zhan, did your father tell you about this place? Did he tell you anything else...or did you hear any legends about monsters?"
Zhan Nan pondered for a moment, as if reminiscing, and then spoke after a long while:
"This place was actually discovered by my grandfather. He was a traveler who loved exploring. He once became obsessed with this country in order to investigate the ancient legend of the Pyramid of Erault."
"I don't know why, but he chose to stay after a certain expedition. I only met him when I was a child. Now, I have almost no impression of him."
He said, walking to the small tombstone nearby.
"My father later told me that my grandfather had passed away somewhere in Hérault, and I remember coming here as a child and that this tomb was his resting place."
"As for the monster you're talking about... I don't know about this. I've only been here once. But to be honest, if you hadn't come here today, I might have planned to move to another place in two days. After all, I I don’t want to be a neighbor with such a guy…”
Zhannan explained in detail, telling everything he knew, and also chatted about some trivial matters about his life here.
He may have been living alone for a long time, and now that he has met someone with whom he can communicate, he seems a little selfless when he talks.
Everyone was listening to his story quietly. As time went by, everyone had a new understanding of this big boss.
Although Zhannan looks like he has gone through many vicissitudes of life and is serious about words. But after getting in touch with him, you will find that he is actually very talkative.
Of course, this may also be related to him living alone for a long time.
However, his personality is very kind and not as cold as expected.
Everyone gets along very naturally.
He was squatting in front of the tombstone, gently wiping the dust on it with his hands, and the fonts engraved on it were gradually revealed.
However, due to the relatively long period of time, many of the words on the tombstone are blurred, and everyone can only vaguely see part of the content.
Esteban Vasikal
1905-1965
your old friend
Didial Cruz Sandoval
yours truly
There are some other words on the tombstone, but they are all unclear.
But the information left behind has allowed later generations to know that a man named Esteban Vasikal once lived here.
After his death, he must have been buried in this oasis by an old local friend.
