Mysterious creature sightings

Chapter 48 Inducing the Expedition

The dangers in the depths of the Great Rift Valley are definitely not just caused by mysterious creatures.

This place is damp and dark, and there are many "famous" creatures living there, such as the tiger-striped killer butterfly from before, and the poisonous insects that can be seen everywhere.If you stay in one place for a long time, you are lucky not to get bitten twice.

The members of the expedition team were the lucky ones, because there were no poisonous insects around Ling Jiangyue at all.

She was the only one chasing the poisonous insects.

For example, now, she is squatting by the grass, holding a wooden stick to dig out ant holes.

A poisonous mushroom grew on the ant hole, and under the mushroom cover lay a little toad whose life or death was uncertain.

The wooden stick poked around in the ant hole, and the ants she brought out were placed on the toad.

Although the picture was a bit uncomfortable, in the eyes of the anxious and fearful people on the expedition team, she was infuriatingly idle.

Qu Xiao came closer and asked, "Are you really the consultant of the police station?"

"Yes."

Qu Xiao asked again: "What kind of consultant are you? You look so young."

"Scientific knowledge."

"Then have you found the transparent man? What is he?"

"Can't say. Are you okay?"

Qu Xiao had known for a long time that he would never tell them the truth. Hearing this, he put aside his half-hearted polite words and asked directly: "Can you let us go first? Our teammate is injured, we can't just wait for the blood to be drained, right?" ?”

"How do you go?"

Qu Xiao thought there was hope and said excitedly: "We remember the road and just go back the way we came. That road is not too dangerous! Or you can let the support troops from above come down and take us away first!"

Ling Jiangyue laughed suddenly, with obvious sarcasm.After returning to Ling's house, she had never shown such emotion.

"If you want to run, you can, just walk out of here. I can also give you directions. There is a bungara snake a few hundred meters to the left. Although the fatality rate is not high, its neurotoxin can poison people unconsciously. Fa, even if you die, no one will know."

"The pond on the right is surrounded by the territory of poison dart frogs. If you step in, there is a 20.00% chance of coming out safely."

"Cryptopods are everywhere. The corrosive acid will make you scream in pain. The poisonous spiders will come to your door based on the vibration. They managed to escape. The straight-line distance is about one kilometer. The group of killer butterflies that bit you are still waiting for you. Smell I will never let go of the smell of blood.”

"There are also their distant friends, killer bees, who have bad tempers and are much more aggressive than killer butterflies. If you encounter them, they will either die or be maimed."

Qu Xiao was so frightened by her bad description that his face turned pale and he stared at her blankly.

Ling Jiangyue liked to see such a reaction, and added harshly: "Also, don't forget that this is Yunnan. Countless fungi are waiting for you to help transport the spores and provide them with nutrients. Next spring, you will It will become another ornamental scenery in the Great Rift Valley - human cordyceps."

Qu Xiao opened his mouth and was speechless.Not only did she think those poisonous insects were dangerous, she also felt that this person was very evil.

"Then, aren't you afraid?"

She tilted her head and asked, "Why should I be afraid? They won't come near me."

"Why?" Qu Xiao's tone was already a little floating.

Ling Jiangyue didn't answer, but used a wooden stick to move the toad between the two of them and pointed it out to her, as if sharing a secret.

"There is a skin toxin in its skin secretions, which can cause pain and even severe poisoning reactions. Look at these ants, they are all stunned by the poison."

Qu Xiao didn't know what the meaning of her words was, but her next sentence suddenly turned to the expedition team. "What do you want to do by secretly investigating the transparent man?"

"We..." Qu Xiao wanted to come and find out the truth, but his mind suddenly seemed to be out of control, and the memories before he came were forcibly enhanced and brought out.

"We want to see what the Transparent Man is and what the police department will do if they find it."

"The original intention of our expedition team was to explore more magical phenomena and creatures that have not been discovered by humans. We want to leave our names in the history of earth exploration like other famous expedition teams."

"Just like the British expedition in 1933, they discovered the Tassili petroglyphs in North Africa, which was one of the evidences of the existence of aliens. This discovery made their expedition world-famous. If it could be like the expedition sent by Germany to XZ during World War II , find the axis of the earth and discover supernatural phenomena, that would be even better!”

"If the transparent people this time are related to aliens, then we will be the first discoverers, and the news will definitely be reprinted by major world media. If we are rich and famous, we will not worry about funds in the future and continue to The whole world is doing expedition work.”

Because it was not narrated voluntarily by the narrator, this passage is a bit like a machine reading, and the reading is still anticlimactic. The main content is focused on their admiration for idol groups and their beautiful fantasies about becoming famous in the future.

If a third person came close and heard it, they would definitely find it strange.

But Ling Jiangyue was like listening to a bedtime story, poking a toad while listening, not hearing the part she wanted to know most, and sighed.

"Curiosity is a good thing. You must still want to know more, right?"

Qu Xiao nodded honestly: "Of course I do."

"Then continue to use this spirit. There are many unknown creatures they have investigated, and there may be real aliens. Do you know where those creatures are placed?"

Qu Xiaomu shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's a coincidence, I don't know either. But there are many of you and you have channels, so you will find out one day."

After she finished speaking with a smile, she tapped the wooden stick that had poked the toad on the back of Qu Xiao's hand, and stared into hers with her black eyes.

Qu Xiao still remembered the skin toxins she had mentioned before, and threw her hands away in fear, turning her attention to herself in an instant.

"what are you doing!?"

Ling Jiangyue groaned: "Sorry, sorry, it's just a habitual action."

Qu Xiao still wanted to accuse her, so she craned her neck and looked behind her: "Your friends seem to be feeling very uncomfortable. They are calling you."

His attention shifted again. When Qu Xiao returned to the expedition team and talked about whether he could leave first, some of the conversations he had with Ling Jiangyue had become very blurry in his mind.

Ling Jiangyue continued to poke at the ant hole, looking in the direction of the hole boredly, calculating the time for Lin Zheng and the others to come out.

If you don't come back, you will really have to wait until dark. Then you will be face to face with a giant butterfly in the night and you won't be able to tell whether the other person is a human or a ghost.

Probably because she couldn't help talking about it, just as she thought of Lin Zheng, there was a noise in the woods on the left, and then Lin Zheng came out, looking miserable.

She threw away the stick and stood up, her eyes falling on the things being carried by the people behind her - the giant butterfly that was hit, still in a body bag, and a bottle of gray stuff.

"Aren't you just going to deploy the sonic interceptor?" she asked.

Lin Zheng was injured, and there was a bloody cut on his face. He raised his arm to wipe it off. Hearing this, his sharp eyes stared at her. After exercise, his body was steaming with heat, hormone levels were high, and the smell of pheromones was too strong to ignore. It was simply too powerful. Feeling of oppression.

"This giant butterfly couldn't fly back, so it could only maintain its mimicry and hide at the entrance of the cave. We just happened to bump into it."

"Ah - what a coincidence."

It's unfortunate enough that I told you not to come out, but you didn't listen.
