Chapter 200 Moth_Snake Slough
200 Chapter 200Moth_Snake Slough
The three of them were panicking and running along the ruins of the mountain.

Both Fatty and Pan Zi ran very far away. Wu Xie, who was following behind, tripped several times on the rocks and vines of the ruins. His knees were all bald and his physical strength was slowly declining. He looked up exhausted. Go, I have put a long distance away from them.

Wu Xie shouted: "Fat man, Pan Zi~"

They quickly looked back and saw that Wu Xie had stopped, so they rushed back quickly. When they got there, they picked up Wu Xie and were about to run with him. However, Wu Xie grabbed him and said to them: "That thing doesn't seem to be there." Come on, let's hide first and take a look before we talk." After saying that, they hid behind a stone and lay down.

They panted heavily and observed the stone sculpture behind them. After being stunned for a while, they found that the stone sculpture really did not follow them. The fat man felt strange and said with difficulty while panting: "Oh! What a surprise, what's going on? What's wrong? Innocent, why is it not moving? Could it be that that thing is a mechanism?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "We have never touched that thing at all, how could it be a mechanism? And it is a whole stone carving. The mechanism cannot do that. Besides, it is sandwiched between two giant trees. In the middle, if it wants to turn its head, there will be a huge noise, and the two trees may be broken, so even if there is a mechanism, it cannot turn, there is no doubt about this."

At this time, Pan Zi took out the telescope from his equipment and looked in the direction of the statue.

Wu Xie asked: "How is it? What on earth is it?"

Pan Zi suddenly looked surprised and said: "Fuck? No more?"

"What?" Wu Xie immediately grabbed the telescope, looked there, and said with the same surprise: "No! It's really gone..."

The fat man frowned and looked at them and said, "What the hell are you two doing? Let me take a look." He reached out and grabbed the telescope and took a look, then stood up and said, "Damn it, you are just kidding me, right?" , Isn't someone playing tricks on us?" He said and strode out.

Wu Xie said: "Oh! Don't be impulsive!" He and Pan Zi hurriedly pulled him to sit down. However, the rocks here were not stable. The fat man staggered and shouted: "Oh, I'll go!" Wu Xie and Pan Zi hurriedly pulled him down. He managed to escape without any danger, and almost fell over.

The fat man suddenly said: "What's that at the back?"

They looked over together. On the boulder about ten meters away behind them, there was also a huge relief sculpture with an expressionless face like a corpse, looking forward.

The fat man said: "Damn it, this is not life."

Wu Xie said: "Is there this relief just now?"

They all stood up quickly and looked around. Pan Zi said: "Damn! There's more than one! It's all here." He pointed to one side.

Wu Xie said: "Most of these things are hidden by vines, so we haven't paid attention to them."

The fat man looked a little panicked when he saw this: "Oh, oh, oh, I said, this is not right. The reliefs here are all human faces, not bird bodies." Then he picked up Pan Zi's gun.

Wu Xie immediately held him down and said, "Goodbye now, I don't think these are reliefs..."

The fat man murmured: "Then what the hell..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a relief sculpture in front of him cracked and spread out in an instant. All the broken stones floated into the air, like black petals. Wu Xie was stunned and Pan Zi shouted: " Damn it, it’s a moth!”

Wu Xie suddenly realized it. After a closer look, he saw that the floating stones were all black moths. These human faces were arranged by these moths, so they appeared and disappeared suddenly.Immediately, he saw that the human face reliefs around him began to twist and crack, and a large number of moths flew into the air and scattered around.

The fat man looked at them and said, "They are followed by a group of idiots who are trying to scare people with their human faces. These guys are going to become sperms."

Soon the sky was almost filled with black debris. They all subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their clothes. Wu Xie purred and said: "Things using protective colors are generally non-toxic, but we should be careful."

The fat man originally wanted to catch a few moths to see what kind of moths they were, but he couldn't catch them after several attempts, which made him a little disappointed.

At the same time, the little brother was squatting on the branch of a tree, looking around. Suddenly he saw a dense mass of black floating into the air from below. From a distance, it looked like black smoke. He took out my telescope After looking at it, I saw that those things were dotted, they should be black flying insects.

After watching for a while, he came down from the top and said to me: "We will go from here to that direction in a while. There will be movement over there." As he spoke, he kept looking in one direction and stretched out his hand to point me. pointed.

I said, "Is it them? But when we get there, won't they go to another place?"

The little brother said: "If it were in a tomb, where would there be the most weird things?"

I thought for a while and said: "You mean, bugs, monsters and the like? Of course we are close to the destination..." I understood immediately and said "Oh...".

The little brother said: "The road may not be easy, give me the knife." I handed him the knife, and he said: "Let's go." Then he took me with him, cutting the vegetation and vines blocking the road in front of him. Lead me to a new path.

They stayed where they were, waiting for the moths flying like petals to fly away one after another, leaving only a few scattered ones, and then they gradually felt relieved.

Pan Zi said: "Hey~ It was a false alarm. Fortunately, it was just some non-venomous moths."

Wu Xie couldn't help but said: "This situation is really scary." He looked at the scene after the moths flew away and said: "Is this... a snake shed?" The fat man jumped down, picked up one and cursed: "Too Fucking disgusting…”

Wu Xie was surprised by this scene: "This is too much, there must be hundreds or even thousands of them, so how many snakes must there be... These moths just stopped on the snake sloughs, maybe they were attracted by the fishy smell on them. Attraction, this may be a hiding place for these snakes when they shed their skins.”

The fat man climbed up and showed them the snake skin he picked up. The skin was partially swollen. Wu Xie saw the head part of the snake skin and said to them: "Look here, there is a comb shape. These are pheasants." With its neck removed, the snake's skin is as thick as a calf, which is thicker than the snakes we have seen before. It seems that this snake may be even bigger."

The fat man felt disgusted, frowned, and turned away with a look of disgust on his face, not even looking at it.

Wu Xie said: "This snake slough is a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine. One kilogram can be sold for more than a hundred yuan. Looking at the scale of this place, there are at least several tons of snake slough. The value is amazing. Fatty, two of them?"

The fat man turned around to take a look, but he felt nauseated as soon as he saw it. He quickly turned around and said, "It's disgusting. Take it away. I like money, so it's not much better than these few cents."

Wu Xie smiled and thought, in fact, he felt goosebumps all over his body after seeing this thing.

Pan Zi touched the snake skin and said: "This skin is still very tough, as if it has just shed its skin. This is the place where they shed their skin. Snakes usually shed their skin in places they think are safe. If they encounter it here, With two, they will think that their territory has been invaded in the most serious way, and they will definitely attack us. I think it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Wu Xie looked back and said, "If we want to go back, we have to walk through the area where snakes are sloughing, so don't delay. If a pheasant neck comes, it will be over." He patted the fat man and said, "Let's go." , bear with it.”

They set off immediately, enduring the nauseating smell along the way, and hurriedly walked out of the area, following the terrain back to the forest. They were fortunate and surprised not to encounter a single snake.

The little brother led me through the vegetation that I didn't recognize. I followed him with one foot deep and one foot shallow, swaying like a roly-poly.

There was really no way, so he looked up the tree, where the branches and vines were scattered and overlapping. In some places, you could slowly climb through the thick branches and vines. I thought to myself, I really learned nothing about climbing trees this time. .

When he couldn't even borrow this, he looked at the vines, stretched out his hands and pulled them. When they felt strong, he picked me up and carried me over, and I almost turned into a little monkey now.

This time we seemed to be heading in the right direction, and my brother walked much faster. A few hours later, we discovered the ruins of the West Queen Mother City, but the scene in front of us was a bit...

"Brother, what are those, lumps and lumps... and this smell is so unpleasant."

The little brother looked around and said to me: "You stay here first, I'll go take a look."

I nodded, and he asked me to stay behind a stone, and he walked out. He looked at the surrounding environment first, and then he saw a huge number of white and black lumps on the ground.

When the little brother walked towards a black lump, a lot of black fragment-like things suddenly flew up from the thing. The little brother dodged to avoid them, and a few of them flew past me. Look at the shape. Like a moth?

After those black moths flew away, the area covered by them was revealed, which were the same white lumps as the ones next to them. The white things were entangled in the plant vines. The little brother picked them up with a knife. It looks long and thin, like a snake sloughing off...

My eyes widened, because this area was full of these things, and I couldn't help but muttered: "Snake slough is a good thing, but the skin here should be Xiaohong's skin. I don't know if it is of any use. Sister Yujing must be interested." ."

The little brother shouted: "Come here, girl."

I got up and walked over. The little brother was still picking up the snake skin to look at. He said, "This one is very fresh." He then held it up in front of me.

"That one is fresher."

I said "Huh?" and looked at the little brother. His eyes were looking not far away. I looked over and took a breath of cold air and said to him: "Brother, should we...should evacuate first?" ah……"

The little brother said "yes", but he didn't move at all, still staring at the thing in front of him.

It was a little red as thick as an arm. It was twisting its long body around the vines, crawling and rubbing its body on the vines. There was already a layer of white stuff hanging near its head. , revealing the unusually bright red comb... "Brother, how long does it take for it to shed its skin..."

The little brother said: "The average snake sheds its skin for about a few hours each time. It is relatively sensitive at this time and will avoid people, but be sure not to touch it. Some are too sensitive and may attack people."

I gently pushed the snake slough in front of me, moved closer to him, and said to him: "We should get out of here quickly. Where are we going? Are you watching?"

The little brother said: "Have you seen the mountain wall ahead? Go through here and follow the mountain wall. Let's find a place to rest first. It will be very dangerous here at night." He dropped the snake slough and took it with him. I walked forward.

Among the large number of vines nearby, there are many snake sloughs intertwined in the gaps between the ruins and between the tree roots. They are also all along the way, but most of them are rotten, some are beyond recognition, and they look extremely disgusting. In addition, The extremely strong fishy and rotten smell made me almost vomit, but since I haven't eaten for a long time, there was nothing to vomit. It was as uncomfortable as motion sickness.

After walking for a while, we finally saw the woods again. The air here was so much better. My brother asked me to slow down and we continued into the woods.
