Charles served in a certain army in his early years and often carried out missions all over the world.
An accidental injury forced him to temporarily retire.
And this blue-striped squid was what he knew during a certain mission.
Most of this blue-striped squid is found in the Amazon basin, with a small number found deep in the ocean on the west coast of North America.
They have a light blue glow all over their bodies and will glow under the sea water.
If you don't touch it, it is very beautiful and colorful.
But in fact, this blue-striped squid is full of toxins.
If it is sucked on by him, a red rash will appear on the skin. It will be extremely itchy at first, and then it will rot and fester.
Wherever the pus flows, blisters will continue to form. Eventually, the wound will become infected and the body will ooze pus and die.
There is only one way to deal with this kind of thing, which is to use something with strong alkaline properties to deal with it.
After listening to Charles's narration, Li Dabao pointed at Charles and said: "Haha, then you are finished, so stay away from us."
When Charles heard Li Dabao's sarcasm, his face changed slightly and he explained: "Although this blue-striped squid is highly poisonous, there are already relatively effective antibiotics for this toxin internationally."
"I just had a shot, there won't be any problems."
Li Dabao watched Charles cautiously and took a half step back.
"Then who knows? If you want to know where this place is, it's a desert, brother..."
"How come there are things in the deep sea in the desert?"
Charles also had his own explanation for Li Dabao's answer.
That was the ancient ship in the desert, and he suspected that this kind of squid was brought from that ancient ship.
Of course, a long, long time ago, this kind of blue-striped squid could not be so big, and it was most likely like a fry.
In fact, Charles's statement and explanation are also reasonable.
When he said this thing came from the deep sea, I was a little surprised.
But when I think of that old guy Chen Fengnian, he doesn't play according to the routine, so don't say there are squids in the desert.
I can accept it even if the mermaid survives.
But what we want to do now is not to listen to stories.
I asked Li Dabao to throw the broken tentacle into a corner.
Then the three of them got ready and continued their journey.
The end of the passage is no longer a stone room, but a staircase going down.
There are no reliefs or murals on the left and right sides, and there is nothing but deep darkness.
There were obvious drag marks on the ground, indicating that Boss Wang and the others were dragged in here.
When we actually walked out of this downward passage, the scene that greeted us made all three of us open our mouths.
Li Dabao even exclaimed: "Oh my God...is this the so-called Wangyue Clan territory?"
"If these archaeological experts knew this, it would definitely be the ninth wonder of the world."
Although Li Dabao's expression was very exaggerated.
But it is.
What appears in front of us at this moment is not a cemetery, but an ancient city in the true sense.
Although most of them have been ruined and formed into ruins, because there is a very large dome above our heads, the yellow sand on the ground has not completely buried it.
However, based on the Hengduan Mountains on the surface outside, it is inferred that these so-called urban buildings must have been more appropriate for tribes in the mountains in ancient times.
Because when we walked into this ancient city, I felt extremely desolate.
There are phoenix totems in most places.
But judging from the actual area we saw, this city is not as large as a certain village.
Of course, it is possible that some places are completely gone, while others are buried deeper.
But now that I'm here, there are no traces of dragging anymore.
Li Dabao asked me what to do.
I found a relatively high place and looked forward, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
But I could see something like a vague outline at the far end.
It should be a place where mountains or peaks are connected in a real sense.
I said: "Let's do a simple search. If there are no clues, let's continue forward. The mountain range should be in front of us."
"The real owner should be over there..."
Li Dabao shrugged his shoulders and instinctively wanted to take out a cigarette and smoke it.
But at this moment, there were bursts of roaring sounds from all around.
This sound is somewhat familiar to me, but I can't see anything around me.
There is still a lot of sand under our feet now, with the appearance of this dense sound.
Charles was the first to exclaim.
"Oh my God, God, what are those things..."
The three of us all shined our flashlights in Charles' direction.
I saw a lot of red light appearing in the place where we just came in and all around, and we could see things crawling towards us quickly.
Li Dabao's face turned pale.
He looked at me and whispered: "Why does this look like a centipede?"
I shook my head and said, "It's not a centipede, it's a sandworm, and it's mutated. Have you forgotten what the weather is like here?"
"Should we fight or not? The three of us don't have enough firepower?"
Li Dabao said and pulled the bolt of the gun.
I pulled Li Dabao and said, "I'm still trying to tie the knot, so hurry up and get out..."
With that said, the first one ran forward.
The sandworm holding out its hand seemed to sense that we were about to run, and quickly chased after us.
As the saying goes, it's like running to death by looking at the mountain.
Standing high up and seeing the outline of those mountains feels very close.
But we ran for a long time and couldn't see the end. We were surrounded by yellow sand and gravel. The dome above our heads had disappeared, replaced by various fossilized trees.
At this time, we are like running quickly in a pile of bird's nests.
The sandworms behind them had already caught up with them, and Li Dabao and Charles fired alternately from left to right.
It seems that those sandworms can only crawl and cannot stand, which can be considered a flaw.
But the bullets are limited, but there are many sandworms.
After Li Dabao emptied a magazine, he roared: "You retreat first, I will install the detonator..."
With that said, he ran in the other direction.
At this time, Charles was also sweating profusely. Even though he was a former special soldier, his expression completely changed when he faced these densely packed sandworms.
It's not even easy to speak.
I looked at him and said, "Why are you still standing there, run away..."
"Let's find a place where we can defend first, and then send flares to Li Dabao..."
At this time, Charles was completely helpless, and the hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
After hearing what I said, he nodded in agreement.
I looked around and saw nothing but darkness, and my heart felt cold.
Then he stretched out his hand and said: "Hurry up and take out the flare in your backpack. If you don't use it at this time, how long will it take..."
"biu..."
"Chirp...!"
The flare flew up into the air with a tail flame, and just got stuck on the fossilized tree branches above the head.
With a bang, a large area of the surrounding area was illuminated by snow-white light, like daylight.
And I also saw clearly what those sandworms looked like.
It was a body that was segmented like bamboo. There was no carapace on the outer layer, only thick fat-like things piled together.
They are about the size of an adult hunting dog and look extremely bloated, but they crawl and wake up very quickly.
Because they live underground all year round, this group of sandworms is very afraid of strong light.
The explosion of the flare caused the sandworms that were originally rushing toward us to become completely confused.
Some sandworms even began to bite the same kind around them.
Especially when I saw the mouths of these sandworms, I broke out in cold sweat.
The mouth of the sandworm is round, with long black whiskers covered with burrs. When the mouth grows, it looks like a bucket with spiked black hairs.
If I were bitten by this thing, I can't imagine what I would become like?
It was also a fluke.
If Charles hadn't moved relatively quickly, the nearest sandworm would have been less than one meter away from me...!
