Top Secret Army - Memories of a Secret Army Veteran

Just as we were about to enter the cave, there was a sudden howl of animals for unknown reasons, which startled everyone.Immediately, the atmosphere seemed tense. Pang Xiaotai asked Jiao Yiming in a low voice: "The so-called terrible things you said may happen, do you mean this thing that is screaming?" Jiao Yiming looked solemn and said to everyone: "The general live sacrifice ceremony must be to solve some kind of problem, or to feed something with the live sacrifice. Now it seems that the live sacrifice ceremony may be prepared for this howling thing. I remember that my adoptive father once gave me I told a story that when he and his uncle were young, they also entered the underground palace of an ancient tomb to save people. It is said that this ancient tomb is like a maze, with passages connecting passages, and finally the core of entering the underground palace is a door. In front of it was an altar, which was also used for living sacrifices. When they entered, they found that the purpose of the living sacrifices was to feed a strange snake with a length of more than ten meters and a diameter thicker than a bucket. The largest snake in China is not that big, except for the python. According to my adoptive father, the snake looks very like a dragon. It should be an ancient creature called a "wind dragon". At that time, my adoptive father and uncle and it The fight was turned upside down, and because the snake was locked in its vertebrae by a thousand-year-old black iron chain, it couldn't swim flexibly, so it was finally defeated by my adoptive father and uncle and died."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "I don't know what is in this cave. However, I heard from my adoptive father that most ancient races have their own tribe's treasure caves or secret tomb caves, temples. Such as the most mysterious and secret places of the tribe, generally in these places, the people of the tribe will catch some of the rarest and most ferocious animals of that era to guard them, starve them for many days, and then feed them with live sacrifices, slowly Slowly, it will make it more docile to the people of its own tribe. When you want to enter these hidden places, you must hold a live sacrifice ceremony to make it full, then when they enter, the thing will not Initiate an attack. However, in order to avoid accidents, extraordinary methods are still used to lock or imprison its range of action, and there are special routes to pass through its attack range. Now, I think we should encounter the same situation. As long as we find out the hidden route, I believe we will pass safely. However, if we don’t find it, we can only fight with that animal.”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard these ancient anecdotes.Pang Xiaotai admired Jiao Yiming even more, and Jiao Yiming said that he would tell him a ten-day-and-a-half-month old story after he got out.Everyone heard that as long as they can find a hidden route, they can avoid dangerous ancient creatures. Although they still feel a little scared in their hearts, they are finally looking forward to it, so they also happily teased Pang Xiaotai a few words.

But there is always something to face.We said a few words, and slowly entered the cave vigilantly.The cave extends downwards at a slant, and the inside is very humid. On the top, the walls are dripping water from time to time, and there is a lot of water on the ground, about two to three centimeters in length. Because we don’t know where the ancient creature is, everyone Going very slowly.

This cave is a trumpet-shaped, very narrow when you enter it, and it gradually becomes more spacious as you go down. When we walked about 1000 meters, a huge underground cave appeared in front of us. This is a typical karst underground cave landform. , all kinds of melting ditches, stone buds, stalactites, stalagmites, all kinds of strange things!And there is a stone forest behind a large puddle directly in front of us.This is definitely a very, very perfect underground cave!Everyone was amazed, completely forgetting that there are dangerous creatures waiting for us ahead.Just as we were admiring the rare beauty in this world, a howl came again, reverberating in the huge cave, making people feel a thrilling feeling of heart palpitations.The roar suddenly brought us back to the real fear.

The cry came from directly in front of us, as if it was in the stone forest in front of us or behind the stone forest.

Everyone looked at each other, and then turned all their eyes to Jiao Yiming. On the road ahead, Jiao Yiming's Taoism, intelligence, and common sense helped us overcome many difficulties. , Dangerous things, he can't help but let him make decisions.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Jiao Yiming couldn't help but wry smile.Then he spread his hands and said, "Everyone, don't look at me. I told you, we have to find a way around that ancient creature, otherwise we can only fight it."

The water instructor who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "We are a team, it is impossible to always rely on the strength of one person, everyone can become comrades-in-arms, we can come here together, everyone has their own abilities. Let's find a way together, don't Always rely on Jiao Yiming." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of the big puddle, squatted down, and observed the terrain.Everyone also looked at each other, looking for any forks or roads that could bypass the puddles and stone forests, and walk through the area controlled by the ancient creatures.After a few minutes or so, everyone was back together, everyone a little frustrated.It seems that although the cave is huge, there are no forks or roads.Everyone discussed it, and finally decided to go to this puddle first, and after entering the stone forest, if we encounter that ancient beast, we will think of a way.

Everyone began to observe this large puddle. Xiaowenshu picked up a stone on the ground and threw it in from a distance. It sank with a bang. The sound was rather dull. It seemed that the middle part of the puddle was still very deep.It seems that we were wrong in thinking that it was a puddle of water at first, and everyone couldn't help hesitating. The water is relatively muddy, and we don't know how deep it is, and we don't know what's in it.

When everyone was hesitating, a strange low sound like something hard was being scratched on the glass suddenly entered our ears. Such a loud sound made people feel very uncomfortable.The little document suddenly said: "Everyone, look, what is that!" We looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a black thing lying on a rock by the puddle on our left, round, like yes. . .The feeling of the human head is creeping towards us, and there seems to be a lot of hair on the body. A very strange atmosphere suddenly permeates this huge underground cave.At this time, I heard the sound of the water puddles gurgling. When everyone hurried to look, they were all shocked. They saw countless black women's hair-like filaments emerging from the water puddles, and then they all rushed towards us. The shore floated over, and before we came back to our senses, many human-headed things that you saw just now emerged from the water and squirmed towards us along the shore.

Everyone couldn't help panicking, what is this?So weird and scary!Everyone stepped back quickly, and I couldn't help but sweat like rain. Facing these strange things constantly popping up in the puddle, we all felt helpless.Pang Xiaotai asked the water instructor in a throbbing voice: "Let's shoot! Kill these ghosts!" The water instructor thought for a while and said: "No! We are running out of bullets! We haven't met corpse wolves yet, so we can't easily Consumes bullets." Then he yelled again: "I don't think these animals are very aggressive. Everyone has a folded small military shovel in their backpacks, take them out and open them, and use this to deal with these things first!" Everyone listened , hurriedly opened the backpack to find the military shovel.At this time, these strange human-headed things had surrounded us, and the nearest one was only about two meters away from us, slowly wriggling and continuing to crawl towards us.

Everyone took out military shovels, weapons in hand, and couldn't help but feel a lot more courageous.Hearing Meng Xingliang's furious roar, he strode forward and slapped a shovel fiercely on the body of a thing. With a slap, the thing was slapped into a flat shape, and then it didn't move at all. Everyone saw Black mucus slowly flowed out of its body, and a very bad smell got into our noses.The rest of us saw that it was so simple to wipe out one of these ghost things, and suddenly felt excited, and we slammed forward together, smashing a lot of these things, but an unpleasant smell suddenly It diffuses in the cave, making people nauseous.

The other human-headed things seemed to feel that we were difficult to deal with, so they stopped wriggling, and just lay down on the spot and stopped wriggling, but they didn't mean to retreat. "What should I do?" Meng Xingliang turned back and asked Shui instructor.The water instructor looked at the black mass of this kind of thing, and didn't answer him, but lowered his head and thought.At this moment, I thought to myself: These things are enough for us to have a headache. If we can pass the puddles smoothly, we will not know how to deal with the roaring ancient beasts.

For a while, everyone had no countermeasures, and stood there confronting those things. Suddenly, the puddles began to gurgle again, and it seemed that the water surface was churning violently. We watched this scene in panic, at a loss .And those human-headed things also started to panic, turning around and wriggling indiscriminately, as if they were also panicked by the situation in the water.In about ten seconds, a "bang" was heard, and a huge monster emerged from the water, roaring to the sky!This thing is very much like the big lizard we see on TV.The long body is about seven or eight meters, and the diameter is about one meter in thickness.Covered in red scales.The tail is thick and powerful, and there are yellow double horns on the head, which are distributed in a branch shape. The two eyes are the size of lanterns, and the eyelids protrude abruptly.The limbs are flat, and the flippers are very wide, which seems to be somewhat like fish fins.

We all stared at this huge monster with dumbstruck eyes, and even forgot whether we should turn around and run away. At this moment, we saw that it suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing its strong jaws and sharp teeth, swallowing those around it. Human-headed things, and all those human-headed things wandered around in panic.And that thing didn't chase after it, it was in the center of the puddle, attached to the water surface, breathing in with its big mouth open, and then suddenly spit out a big blood red tongue to suck those human-headed creatures.Those things were sucked involuntarily, and fell into the mouth of the "ancient lizard".What is this big guy?so smart!Gradually, the human-headed creatures around him disappeared, and it roared to the sky again, its mouth opened wide, and its tongue stretched farther, and the fleeing human-headed creatures continued to fall into his tongue, and it was sucked into its mouth and swallowed. belly.We all broke out in cold sweat, and its tongue stretched farther and farther, and gradually it was able to reach the shore of the puddle.And those human-headed creatures were devoured by him constantly.After about ten minutes, it stopped eating by itself, then turned its head towards us, looked at us with two huge eyes, then roared, shook its head and tail, as if it was going to charge us.We couldn't help being horrified, and hurriedly retreated.After retreating about tens of meters, the strange thing is that we found that it was just swinging its body in place and roaring, but it had no intention of chasing it.

Everyone stopped and looked at it as if it was roaring anxiously, but it just didn't leave the center of the puddle.I thought to myself, is this guy an aquatic animal, afraid to leave the water?

At this moment, Jiao Yiming spoke, with both excitement and panic on his face: "I understand! This guy is the ancient monster that guards this place. Judging from his appearance, he should be an animal mentioned in the ancient book by my adoptive father." "Mosasaur", it is said that this ancient large lizard lived before the Great Flood Era and is the ancestor of lizards. Mosasaur is the first named genus in Mosasauridae. The fossil, a broken skull (see Illustration 1 at the end of this chapter), was discovered in 1766 in a limestone mine in Maastricht, at the southern tip of the Netherlands, when buildings in the city were built using limestone from the quarry. In 1770, a local Dutch army surgeon, clhoffmann, had a strong interest in the strange bones on the limestone and began to pay to collect these fossils. In 1774, a skull in good condition was found, which aroused public interest in these bones. Controversy, that they are pre-Flood animals. A few years later, the French Army occupied the Netherlands, the fossils were sent to France. French scientist Georges? Giant lizard. In 1822, William Daniel Coneybeer (ybeare) named the fossil Mosasaurus (mosasaurus), after the river Meuse that flows through Maastricht. In 1829, Guidi En Mantel (named after doctor an. The type specimen of Mosasaurus is currently in the Natural History Museum in Paris (icu (see Figure 2 at the end of this chapter). It is 3 to 3.5 meters long and may live in shallow seas on the shore. Use it to The bulbous teeth catch molluscs and sea urchins for food. The larger mosasaurs are similar to giant creatures such as Neptunosaurus or hainosaurus, and the length of mosasaurs can reach 15 meters. The body size of mosasaurs is stronger than that of Neptunosaurinae , the weight of a 10-meter-long mosasaur is equivalent to that of a 15-meter-long Neptune. Compared with other mosasaurs, the head of the mosasaur is stronger. Due to the tight joints between the jaw bones, the mosasaur cannot The mosasaurs swallowed their prey whole. The teeth of the mosasaurs were curved, sharp, and conical. The mosasaurs should tear their prey apart before swallowing them. They also had the elastic tongue of a lizard. , can stretch quickly, hunt prey from a long distance, send it into the mouth and then crush and swallow it with teeth. Mosasaurus has big eyes, but the sense of sight and smell is not sensitive. The body of Mosasaurus is long barrel-shaped, with a strong tail. The shape is similar to a snake and has a high degree of hydrodynamics. The forelimbs of Mosasaurus have five toes, and the hind limbs have four toes. The limbs have evolved into flippers, and the forelimbs are larger than the hind limbs. Mosasaurs may move forward in the water by swinging their bodies, just like modern sea snakes .Paleontologists believe that mosasaurs lived on the surface of the ocean, preying on fish, various ammonites, turtles, and possibly other small mosasaurs."

Speaking of this, Jiao Yiming also said worriedly: "This thing is very ferocious. I think it hasn't come after it now, there must be something imprisoning it on its body. Now I can already guess that in this puddle-like place There must also be a pond in the stone forest behind the pond, and the two must be connected. Mosasaurs can sneak back and forth through underground passages. And it must have lived for thousands of years with this kind of human head. It seems that it is not easy for us to pass through this pond. Although the human-headed creatures do not seem to have any offensive power on land, they don’t know it in the water, not to mention the mosasaur. .”

While he was talking, I saw that the mosasaurs had stopped paying attention to us, and probably had eaten enough of those human-headed creatures just now.Then it swung its head and tail in the water for a while, growled a few times, and sank to the bottom of the water.Then I saw that a few minutes after the mosasaur sank to the bottom, those human-headed creatures also covered with human hair-like hair slowly
