Mysterious creature sightings

The teams from both sides gathered together. Brother and sister Xin Wen were not happy that they were bringing a person with a tender face at first glance, and frowned and looked at the person.

"I would like to ask, is this also a police officer?" Xin Wen asked.

Lin Jia said yes, and their frown deepened: "Is there anything special about her?"

This industry also requires seniority. As experience increases, age will naturally increase.Such a young girl doesn't look physically strong. How did she join the Special Investigation Division?
"Are they the photographers who are recruiting editors?" Xin Zhi looked at her up and down, as if he was exploring whether the new employees in his office were qualified.

Lin Zheng explained quietly: "The special consultant can identify the energy trajectories of animals, plants and fungi."

The gazes of the two siblings became intense. Xin Zhi's swollen eyes widened a little. He couldn't help but ask: "Is this a special talent? How did you develop this ability?"

It seems to be related to special abilities, and being young is actually a sign of outstanding abilities.

"Born." Ling Jiangyue didn't like the smell of pheromones on them, and his attitude wasn't very good.

But Xin Zhi didn't mind at all. When he talked to Lin Zheng and others later, he would look at her from time to time.

She grabbed a piece of grass on the side of the road to play with, pretended not to notice, and followed them to the wasteland near Cuiyun Corridor.

The height of the trees here is not so spectacular. Beyond the fence, you can still see yellowed dead vines crawling all over the ground. They are almost reaching this side. Only a path has been cut near the fence.

The ranger told them: "We do not control the outside of the fence, but in order to prevent people from throwing things and causing fires, which will spread here, we will occasionally clean up the overgrown weeds, trees and vines. This is after receiving the notice yesterday Temporary cleaning.”

Xin Wen nodded: "That's it. We went from the other side before, and this place looks closer."

They put on self-made filtering respirators and regarded themselves as leaders of the investigation in words and deeds: "Get ready, let's go."

Ling Jiangyue looked at Lin Zheng, as if he was just waiting for the real captain to arrange the task, which was very pleasing to him.

Lin Zheng didn't have the anger of a dove occupying a magpie's nest. He asked them to tighten the anti-scratch protective gear on their legs and said, "Let's go. Follow closely."

The last two words referred to Ling Jiangyue. She immediately stood up and said, "Yes! I will follow you closely!"

Lin Zheng: "..."

The grass cutters in the wasteland made a swishing sound on the protective gear made of special materials.

Xin Wen and Xin Zhi, who were walking at the front, said nothing and walked very quickly, as if they were eager to investigate this long-standing and nagging case of a stranger.

Lin Zheng's eyes fell on them, recalling every detail of his contact with them.

While thinking about it, Xin Wen said excitedly: "We're here!"

He glanced at the open space in front of him that had traces of fire, and picked up the panting man behind him.

Ling Jiangyue adapted very well to the act of being raped and had no objection at all. She stood firm and began to look into the distance.About 30 meters away, I saw a multi-headed Buddha statue half covered by weeds.

When I got closer, I could see more clearly that the heads of the Buddha statue were not normal at all. They looked weird. One of the arms had been broken off by the wind and rain. There were also two Taoist statues not far away.

"This place seems to be very dark," Jiang Yuxing muttered, "Buddhism and Taoism are all put together, what kind of moth can't be suppressed, and we are not afraid of a fight between the two gods."

The archaeologist took several photos in succession and said: "It looks a bit like the eleven-faced Guanyin statue, but the number of heads is more like a fake three-faced Buddha, and there is also the shadow of the abandoned son evil Buddha. I don't know where it came from. For what purpose was it built and why was it built in the middle of nowhere? It’s not a good sign to have no roof over it.”

"We think it is a three-faced Buddha," Xin Zhi suddenly said, "representing the past, present, and future. The two Taoist statues that are still standing are the second imitation of the Sanqing statue. They are also Taoist metaphors for time and space, divided into Hong Yuan, Hunyuan, Taichu. This should be related to the underground tomb." Ling Jiangyue was a little confused after hearing this. How come the biological matter is related to time, space and religion?
From the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Yuxing rubbing the goosebumps on his hands, and asked in a low voice, "What did he mean?"

Jiang Yuxing: "This is the creature we are looking for. It may be assigned from the scientific world to the magic world."

"???" She was even more confused.

Lin Zheng glanced at the two of them and paid no attention to Xin Zhi's nagging. He said directly: "Go over and check. Always pay attention to the plants and fungi around you."

A group of people yearn for and fear, but he is the only one who is full of courage given by science, like a sword with a very clear direction, so firm that it is reassuring.

Ling Jiangyue and Jiang Yuxing both leaned closer to him and walked forward like sandwiches.

Lin Jia held up the instrument and kicked Jiang Yuxing on the butt: "Get the machine. You can struggle for half an hour against a thousand-year-old zombie of your size. What are you pretending to be?"

Xu Jiayan was walking around with the life detector and said, "If you buy so much insurance, you have to give them a chance to be used."

So Ling Jiangyue was the only one left beside Lin Zheng.

She also manually turned her head left and right to "scan" like a held detector.

After carefully examining it for about ten minutes, she discovered something different.

"There is a road this way, the ant's road."

"Ant's path?" Lin Jia asked curiously, "Can you zoom in and see ants moving?"

"No, but this road has a color, a little greener than the color of the soil. It's like spitting the juice of leaves on the ground."

She tried to describe it, but it sounded like a fairy tale.

Xin Wen and the others couldn't understand the situation, and were just about to say not to cause trouble when a mycologist who had heard of Ling Jiangyue suddenly asked, "Can you see pheromones?"

"Ah? But...is it possible?" She subconsciously turned to look for Lin Zheng.

The mycologist said: "I heard about what happened before. You didn't necessarily see the parasites in his body at that time, but the external hormones they secreted. Because they would escape the body, it stands to reason that the energy would be more obvious. point, it will be better observed.”

They were still dizzy, and he continued: "Some ants, such as leaf-cutter ants, use pheromones to mark the path they take when carrying food, making it easier to return home and carry it again."

When it comes to leaf-cutting ants, Lin Jia and the others are very familiar with them: "Leaf-cutting ants have the habit of cultivating fungal colonies."

Considering that some people may not be clear, mycologists will explain it in detail: "Leaf-cutter ants will cut leaves and use them as culture media for fungi. They are responsible for feeding the fungi and cleaning them. After the fungi grow and grow tumor-like protrusions, , they then feed on those raised secretions.”

Ling Jiangyue: "Oh, ants are also engaged in breeding."

Mycologist: "...Yes, that's right."

The others looked at each other. Doesn't this mean that the fungus they are looking for is around?
Xin Wen and Xin Zhi understood, and looked at Ling Jiangyue with undisguised eyes, full of enthusiasm.

"You can actually 'see' smells? Is this ability really innate?"
