sabotage expert

Old Wang blushed and said: "Fat brother, really, I... I'm not talking nonsense, this thing really looks like a specialty of our village. There is a small stream behind our village, which leads directly to the back mountain. The small stream in the back mountain This kind of thing is produced here, but the quantity is very small, and the size is not so big... Young people in our village can catch a few of them and sell them when they go to the back mountain, and they can sell for a lot of money. Oh, it seems that they can sell for more than 400 yuan One catty, but later the government said it was a second-class protected animal, so they didn't dare to catch it. However, there are still brave young people who go to the back mountain to poach and then sell it for money..."

As Old Wang said, he pulled Xiao Shanzi beside him again: "If you don't believe me, just ask Xiao Shanzi, this kid even caught one a few months ago."

Xiao Shanzi quickly nodded and said, "What Uncle Wang said is true. The shape of this thing is the same as our village's special product, but it's not so big."

specialty? 400 yuan a catty?Secondary protected animals?This monster has become a specialty of the village. Fatty and Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and were a little confused.

In the end, Ning Xiaofan calmed down and asked, "Well, what special products are you talking about? After talking for a long time, what is this special product called in your local area?"

"Baby fish."

"The government said that the scientific name is giant salamander"

Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi replied in unison.

Whether it's a salamander or a giant salamander, Ning Xiaofan and Fatty naturally know what they look like. After hearing what Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi said, they looked at the monsters in the water and compared them. The monsters in the water looked exactly like salamanders. shapes overlap.

The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "I don't know, this thing really looks like a super-large salamander... Fat Lord, I ordered and killed one in a restaurant back then. It tasted good, very good, tender and smooth... ..."

The fat man seemed to think of the delicious salamander, and said with a drooling look: "Xiaofan, if this thing is a salamander, why don't we get one and try it?"

Ning Xiaofan glared at the fat man angrily: "You're a foodie, you don't even know if this thing is a salamander, aren't you afraid that this thing is poisonous?"

"Uh, that's right..." The fat man smiled mischievously, but his small eyes kept looking at the monster in the water, his throat twitched, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, as if he was unwilling to do so.

The monster in the water is huge and looks scary, but this monster is suspected to be a mutated giant salamander, and the fear in everyone's hearts has subsided a lot. After all, this monster that is suspected to be a giant salamander is not thick-skinned and can be killed with bullets. Also a lot smaller...

Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi continued to paddle the rubber boat forward.

During the next trip, the rubber boat was touched by the underwater monster from time to time. Everyone felt that the force of the monster in the water was not strong. It seemed that they were just curious, and did not intend to overturn the rubber boat, so they did not drive. gun shot.

No accidents were encountered during the march, and everyone's minds gradually relaxed. Except for changing people to row the boat and arranging two people to take turns to guard, the rest of the people began to doze off.

Unknowingly, a few hours later, Ning Xiaofan, who was dozing off, was gently awakened by Zhang Chun, who was in charge of security.

"Captain Ning, we can see the land now..."

land?

Ning Xiaofan, who was still a little confused, rubbed his face to wake himself up, and then looked in the direction Zhang Chun was shining with the flashlight.

There is now a faint layer of fog over the water area. Under the light of the flashlight, through the dense fog, a piece of uneven land can be vaguely seen. It is dark and cannot be seen clearly. Continents of rock.

After several hours of traveling in the waters where the sky does not touch the sky and the ground does not occupy the ground, I have always felt unsafe. With the sight of land, Ning Xiaofan can finally let go of his heart that has been hanging for a while.

There was nothing to say, Ning Xiaofan and Zhang Chun separately woke up everyone who was still dozing off.

The people who woke up were very excited when they learned that they had arrived on land, and they couldn't help cheering. Of course, this water area is too quiet, and everyone deliberately lowered their cheers a little for fear that they might provoke some unknown monster.

I only felt a slight shock, and the bow of the rubber boat touched the land.

Without Ning Xiaofan's voice to arrange, Yang Haidang jumped out of the rubber boat and groped towards the shore with an assault rifle in his hand. He didn't go too far, and found that there was no danger nearby, so he started to be on guard nearby.

Yang Hai's performance made Ning Xiaofan nod secretly. Yang Hai is indeed a person who has worked in the army. He is bold and careful, and has rich experience in wild survival. It is definitely a good deal to get this guy into his team.

The terrain at the docking position is not good, the terrain is uneven, and there are piles of rocks. After Ning Xiaofan and the others worked together to lift the equipment off the shore, he ordered Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi to deflate and fold the two rubber boats, and followed , began to arrange manpower, two groups headed towards the vicinity to explore, and told the explorers not to go too deep, just find a place where they can camp.

The pathfinders were divided into three groups, Fatty and Hou San, Zhang Chun and Chen Biao, and Ning Xiaofan himself and Aunt Xiang.The remaining Yang Hai, Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi guarded the supplies and equipment on the spot.

The three pathfinding groups were divided into three directions to explore the way out, and Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang chose the middle direction.

Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang walked about 200 meters away, and the low and scattered rocks nearby were much less, replaced by huge jagged rocks with strange shapes, some of which looked like animals and even people. It's like entering a stone forest in various poses and with different expressions.

There seems to be no wind in this place, and the strange rocks in front of me are naturally not eroded by wind.Ning Xiaofan felt a little strange, how did these strange rocks form?

Just when Ning Xiaofan was curious about these strange-shaped rocks, Aunt Xiang also seemed to be interested in these strange-shaped rocks. She shone a flashlight at a strange rock that looked like a camel, observed it carefully, and said softly to Ning Xiaofan. Fan said, "Xiao Fan, this place must have been submerged in water before."

"Oh, Aunt Xiang, was it flooded? How do you know?" Ning Xiaofan asked.

Aunt Xiang smiled softly: "It's not that simple. Look carefully at the traces on this rock and see if there are any fine lines on it. They are traces of water erosion. Although I am not a geological expert, these simple geological knowledge I still know a little bit."

Aunt Xiang spoke modestly, but Ning Xiaofan knew in her heart that the woman next to her was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Don't look at Ning Xiaofan's usual inconspicuous appearance, but the ability to observe the details is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. Just based on the situation when he encountered the monster in the water a few hours ago, Aunt Xiang's calmness, and the ability to guide everyone to shoot with a flashlight In his mind, Ning Xiaofan knew that Aunt Xiang was a woman with stories and skills.

You know, in a sudden situation like that at that time, an ordinary woman would either scream in fright, or pee her pants in fright, how could she be as calm as Aunt Xiang.

Vaguely, Ning Xiaofan felt that it was not out of any malice that Little Goblin wanted to arrange Aunt Xiang into his team...

Looking around, there are jagged and strange rocks everywhere, and it is definitely a spectacle and a rare tourist attraction in the outside world.However, since Ning Xiaofan entered this underground world, he has seen a lot of strange things, and he has also experienced aesthetic fatigue, so he can't arouse much interest in this uncanny workmanship of nature.

Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang continued to explore for a while, and found no plants among the strangely shaped stone forests, but there were naturally formed roads. Although the terrain was uneven, it was not difficult to walk.

After walking for a short time, the two found a small open area between two huge rocks with strange shapes.

Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang entered this open area to inspect the circle. The entire open area is about [-] square meters. There are huge rocks on both sides. To the north is the exit into the stone forest, and to the south is the entrance for the two. The ground of this open area is dry and hard. It seems that a whole rock surface is formed, the terrain is relatively flat, but some small rocks are scattered here and there, but it is a good place to camp.

After finding this temporary camping place, Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang did not continue to explore further into the stone forest for the sake of caution, so they returned in the direction they came from.

Back at the docking place, the two exploration teams, Fatty and Zhang Chun, have not returned yet. Both teams carry wireless communication equipment, and Ning Xiaofan didn't use the walkie-talkie to recall the two teams. When he wanted to, let Fatty and others It would be nice to explore more places, not to mention, there might be better places to camp.

After Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang returned, they found a place to rest at random. Not long after, Zhang Chun and Chen Biao returned first.

The distance Zhang Chun and Chen Biao explored did not exceed three kilometers, but they did find a camp, but the camp they found was much smaller and not far from the water.According to the information provided by Zhang Chun, the group he and Chen Biao were exploring also encountered a stone forest, but not far to the right of the stone forest was still a water area. In other words, the direction they were exploring seemed to be along the coast of the water area.

Not long after Zhang Chun's group came back, Fatty and Hou San also came back.

The news that Fatty brought back was not good, not to mention that they didn’t find a suitable camp. The two of them were the same as Zhang Chun’s group. After walking not far, water appeared in front of them. They had to take a detour towards the central stone forest. After returning to the original exploration direction, soon, we encountered water again.

Judging from the information that the fat man revealed, the land under his feet is surrounded by water in an arc shape on both sides, and only a small area of ​​stone forest appears in the middle.After summarizing the information explored by the two groups, Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others had no choice but to have some doubts. Is the area under their feet really land?It can't be a small island, can it?

Everyone discussed for a while, and they couldn't be sure if this place was a small island until they had actually explored the area. Right now, everyone was a little tired, so they could only keep their doubts in their hearts, and planned to set up the camp before discussing.

The choice of camp was naturally the one chosen by Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang, and it was not far from the landing place, so everyone packed up their luggage and headed towards the camp they found...
