Chapter 225 Incubation
225 Chapter 225 Incubation

After a while, Brother and Wen Jin saw the snakes crawling up from the cliff again. These guys moved very fast and disappeared into the woods in a short time.

The two of them waited a while longer to confirm that there was no movement, and then gradually relaxed.

Wen Jin asked: "There are so many corpses specially stored by snakes in the water below. There must be other dangers in the water. I just took a rough look before, and you said that the corpses have been turned into containers. These snakes will be there." What to put on the body?”

The little brother thought about the paintings on the stone wall and said, "Snake."

Wen Jin asked in confusion: "Snake?" After a moment, she suddenly understood what her brother meant and said in surprise: "Oh my god, you mean they use corpses as incubators?"

The little brother took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the cliff.

Wen Jin asked: "How about it, do you want to go down now? To be honest, judging from the current situation, time is running out. They are already in front."

The little brother turned around and looked down at me, and said calmly: "Keep an eye on her for me. I'll go down and take a look first."

Wen Jin said, "Well, don't worry, leave it to me." He slowly took me into his little brother's arms.

He followed the little brother to the edge of the cliff. He found a nearby tree close to the cliff, pulled a strong vine from the tree, and slowly climbed down with him.

After climbing down a little, he saw the ruins rock wall below. It was covered with moss and very slippery. He looked down but did not see Wu Xie, so he followed him and continued to slide down and stood in the mud.

The water flow here is very fast. He looked around and saw that there was nothing abnormal for the time being, so he took out the mini waterproof high-light flashlight I gave him.

From this look, the water was indeed filled with fresh corpses.

The little brother casually walked to a corpse and squatted down. The corpse's face was very clean. He looked at the other corpses around him and saw that their faces were all clean, as if they had been washed. It seemed that Wu Xie was here. Who are you looking for among the corpses?

The little brother stretched out his hand and pulled the head of the corpse in front of him, and saw that this man was bitten by a venomous snake on the neck and poisoned to death just as Wen Jin said. He then looked at the belly of the corpse. The head did have something to do with it. The man's body shape didn't match the size of the man. He was a bit bigger. He reached out and touched the man's belly. It was indeed hard. Then he carefully lifted the body and turned it face up. He found that the body was very heavy and he opened it. The man's clothes touched his hard belly with two unusually long fingers, and he frowned slightly.

After Wu Xie pulled off the fat man's clothes, he found that the fat man's belly was ridiculously big, round like a big watermelon, and felt hard as if he had eaten a weight. He immediately felt that something was wrong!I wonder if the snake got into his stomach?

He immediately turned the fat man over, pushed in hard with his knees, and crushed his stomach.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man was squeezed by the force and began to vomit violently. He vomited for a while, and with a "pop" sound, a large amount of green water spurted out from his mouth. The force was so strong that it covered everything. on the branches and then dripping down the branches.

Suddenly, a sour stench hit his face, and Wu Xie's eyes almost popped out of his head in discomfort. He suppressed his nausea and continued to push the fat man a few more times, so that he could vomit as much as possible.

After a few times, he saw that he had almost vomited. When he finished vomiting, he saw that his breathing became a little easier. Wu Xie thought, it seems that the things in his stomach will still suppress his breathing. If he does not vomit out, It can be suffocated to death without being poisoned.

Wu Xie put him down and covered his mouth and nose to see what he vomited. He was surprised when he saw it. He said to himself, this is really a lot of vomiting. It was like pouring out of a bucket. Fortunately, It's because fat people have big stomachs. Another person's stomach might have burst.

The green water he spit out was mixed with some white cotton-like gel-like substance. Wu Xie broke off a branch and fiddled with it. He found that the gel was full of an egg-like substance. thing.

In an instant, Wu Xie was so heartbroken that he almost vomited it out, and waves of pain surged into his chest.He looked carefully and saw that there were red scales mixed in there. He cursed in his mind, "Fuck, this is so disgusting. Snake eggs are laid in the human stomach. Damn it, it's just like the basilisk seen in the movie." As if, following him, he immediately fiddled with all the snake eggs.

Then I thought about it, wouldn't the stomachs of all the corpses in the quagmire be filled with these snake eggs... A chill came up, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like if all these snake eggs hatched out. scene.

He tried hard to hold back his nausea at the moment, and looked at the quagmire below, and then at the snake eggs floating on the water that were floating downstream. Now he understood that this quagmire was an "incubation room". Snakes rely on the heat generated by the decay of these corpses to hatch these snake eggs, which is why they keep carrying corpses into this quagmire, so that they can continue to rot and mix with the soil to generate heat.

This is the same method used by many ants. Ants control the temperature in the nest through fermentation and decay. These snakes cannot do it themselves, but they know how to obtain rotten things to get such heat to hatch eggs.

But what puzzles Wu Xie is that snakes can actually rely on sunlight to obtain warmth to hatch snake eggs. Why do they need human corpses? After thinking about it, it may be because the temperature requirements for the incubation of these snake eggs need to be very precise. Is your body temperature just right?
That is to say, if it were not for the heavy rains before, there would be no water at all in this quagmire. At most, it would be just a swamp. If that were the case, the fat man would not die immediately if he fell into it, but would It will take a long time for him to die, then he will be an excellent breeding ground for hatching snake eggs. It is precisely because of this that these snakes just want to paralyze him, not kill him, in order to keep him alive. The temperature is maintained until he is completely dead. During this time, his body temperature is used to incubate eggs. Fatty is now a snake egg incubator.

Wu Xie thought again, there are some very advanced snakes whose eggs are almost hatched in the body and are fully hatched.

As long as the temperature is stable, a day or two will be enough. Fortunately, it rained heavily before, which delayed the hatching time. Otherwise, if I fell just now, I would have fallen directly into the pile of little snakes.

But this news made him even more horrified, because if there were snake eggs here, it meant that Xiaoxun's previous insistence was correct. There was indeed a living female snake here... It was really like what was carved on the stone wall. There was such a huge one. A female snake, that definitely violates the laws of natural creatures, and these snakes are all the children of that female snake... It's incredible and terrifying when you think about it.

Wu Xie quickly patted his face to make himself sober and rational. It was more important to save the fat man now. Seeing that the fat man's belly was still a little bloated, he felt that to be on the safe side, it was better to let him vomit it all up.

So Wu Xie decided to force him to vomit. He helped the fat man up and reached out to clasp his throat to make him continue to vomit.

Just like that, the fat man vomited out some more green water, until it finally turned into retching. Wu Xie believed that it was gone. As for the remaining ones, they should have been digested, and he would have to let him do it by himself when the time came. Pulled out.

After all this trouble, Wu Xie saw that the fog had almost dissipated and the visibility was gradually restored, so he thought about tightening the rattan on the fat man's body and prepared to slowly lower him down.

But such a method is very difficult for Wu Xie. If he is not strong enough, he may miss. If he is not careful and misses one, the fat man may be thrown to death by himself. He has lost consciousness now and cannot It uses muscles and movements to protect itself, so it must control the length of the vines.

When everything was ready, Wu Xie used a miner's lamp to shine under the tree. This big tree grew on the edge of the quagmire. If it was not done well, it might fall directly back into the quagmire if it was put down. Then all the previous efforts would be wasted, so be sure to choose A good place to start again.

However, as soon as the miner's lamp shone under the tree, Wu Xie was stunned. He saw that there was a mist under the tree, and he couldn't see the ground clearly at all. It was just chaos.

I was confused and thought, there is really something going on here. Just now I didn’t use a miner’s lamp to illuminate it directly, I could just use the residual light of the miner’s lamp to see the blurry shadow on the ground, but why can’t I see it now?Could it be that the fog near the ground has thickened again, but why is it only thick there?

He carefully identified it and soon discovered that something had changed in the quagmire. At some point, a black air evaporated from the water and enveloped the entire surface of the water. The corpses in it were all looming. Everything seemed to be moving in the black air.

The little brother immediately became alert when he saw black air steaming up from the mire. He saw that the mud at the bottom of the mire was moving greatly. The black air under the mud was constantly rising up, and the entire bottom of the pond was moving. He hurriedly turned around. He grabbed the cane and started to climb up. After climbing for a while, he looked back and saw an irregular whirlpool in the mud. The corpses were wrapped in and spit out. As the mud activity became more and more intense, more and more people began to climb. As more and more black air came up from below, he knew that the time had come and hurriedly climbed up the cliff.

When Wen Jin saw some movement, he looked over and saw that the younger brother was back. He seemed a little anxious, thinking that something must have happened. When the younger brother came over, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The little brother said: "We have to go. There are snake eggs down there, and little snakes may hatch out. Tie your clothes tighter, and those snakes will probably get into you." Then he woke me up, and I woke up as soon as I opened my eyes. Seeing Wen Jin hugging me, the little brother stood in front of me anxiously and said to me: "Girl, we are about to leave."
