The communication equipment is interlinked, everyone carries a set, and everyone receives the message from Yang Hai immediately, but when these guys hear that something is happening, their reaction is too fast.

Ning Xiaofan was still complaining, Aunt Xiang grabbed Ning Xiaofan's arm, hid behind a rock, and then reminded in a low voice: "Xiaofan, the mining area is a dangerous place, and you will face unknown dangers at any time. There is danger, so be on the alert at all times.”

Hearing Aunt Xiang's reminder, Ning Xiaofan straightened his mind, and quickly asked through the walkie-talkie: "Old Yang, what's going on with you?"

"I found a pile of fish bones. There were signs of gnawing on the fish bones, and there were a few strange footprints." Yang Haiqing responded from the headset.

fish bone?footprint?Ning Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat: "Lao Yang, you mean someone is nearby?"

"It's hard to say... In this way, there is no danger nearby, you should come and have a look." Yang Hai's tone was slightly weird.

Ning Xiaofan immediately signaled Lao Wang, Xiao Shanzi, Zhang Chun, and Chen Biao to stand by, while he called Aunt Xiang and Fatty to go ahead and have a look.

With Yang Hai and Hou San waiting in front, there was no need to hide their bodies on the way there. The three trotted all the way, and soon saw the figures of Yang Hai and Hou San. At this time, Yang Hai was squatting by the stream, What are you thinking about there?Hou San stood guard with a gun not far away.

When he got close, Ning Xiaofan saw a pile of fish bones in front of Yang Hai at a glance, not all fish bones, and there were more than a dozen colorful fish corpses that hadn't been eaten yet.

On the side of a pile of fish bone remains, there is a group of footprints, extending from the stream to the low rock position exposed on the ground not far away, and then disappear.

Most of the footprints are blurred, but there are still a few footprints that are relatively clear.

Ning Xiaofan squatted down next to one of the clearer pair of footprints. At this moment, he knew that Yang Hai's tone would reveal a little weirdness.

The footprints that appeared were indeed weird. They looked like human footprints. They should be traces left by walking upright, but the size was much smaller, about 28 or 9 yards. At a glance, they looked a bit like children, or petite bodies. woman footprints.

Will there be minors in this underground world?This is too weird.

After careful inspection, it was found that the footprints had only four short toes, the size of the thumb was almost the same as the location, and it was barefoot. In this way, it was basically ruled out as human footprints, at least not normal humans.

If it's not a normal human, then it's a non-human, or a human-like creature.

The first thing that popped up in Ning Xiaofan's mind was the idea of ​​a savage.

However, the footprints of the suspected savages he found in Shennongjia were much larger than the footprints in front of him. Moreover, the footprints of the suspected savages had all five toes, the thumb and the second toe were far apart, and the footprints on the soles were more obvious , In contrast, the small footprints in front of him are strangely without footprints, and appear relatively smooth.

It doesn't look like the footprints of suspected savages, so are they dinosaurs?

Ning Xiaofan quickly ruled out the idea of ​​dinosaurs. First of all, along the way, he met many dinosaurs, large and small, and saw many footprints, but none of them were similar to the set of footprints in front of him.

Not humans, not suspected savages, and not dinosaurs, so what the hell left these footprints?

Ning Xiaofan was a little confused, couldn't help looking at Aunt Xiang who was also squatting beside her, and asked, "Aunt Xiang, do you know what kind of creature this footprint belongs to?"

"I don't know." Aunt Xiang shook her head, but her complexion looked a little dignified.

Ning Xiaofan was slightly taken aback: "No way, Aunt Xiang, haven't the prospectors who came here before found such footprints? Or haven't they found any creatures with such footprints?"

"Footprints have been found, more than once, but I don't know what kind of creature they belong to, but..." Aunt Xiang pondered for a while when she said this: "According to the information I have learned, leaving this kind of Creatures with footprints are very dangerous..."

"Very dangerous?" Ning Xiaofan couldn't help feeling tense.

"That's right, the first batch of prospectors who entered here had found this kind of footprints, and when they found such footprints a few times, there were the corpses of the prospectors next to the footprints. After autopsy, it should be left behind. The dangerous creatures with footprints did it. What's more frightening is that the eyes and heart of the corpse have been hollowed out..." Aunt Xiang had a hint of fear in her eyes when she said this.

The corpses of prospectors beside the footprints?dead?Still dead?

Ning Xiaofan felt a chill on his back for no reason, and couldn't help asking: "How can you be sure that the creature that left such footprints did it?"

"There are footprints next to the corpse, it is obvious, otherwise there is no other explanation, and after the autopsy, there are traces of sharp claws on the surface of the corpse, and each trace has only four paw prints. After further testing and analysis, Among them are the upper limb paw prints, and the paws, and there are only four paws, which match the footprints left with only four toes..."

Hearing this, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help interjecting: "No, the footprints left here should be upright creatures, right? Claws, is it possible that this ghost thing can kill with both hands and feet? It's unscientific."

"People can kick people with their feet, why can't living beings use both hands and feet?" Aunt Xiang angrily retorted Ning Xiaofan, and then said: "Look at the footprints carefully, there should be a small hole on the top of the four toes." round hole..."

"Small round hole? I didn't see it." Ning Xiaofan took a look, but didn't see any small round hole.

"It's very small, you might be able to see it if you lie low."

Hearing this, Ning Xiaofan dubiously lowered his body, almost touching the ground with his nose, and sure enough, he saw that there were four small round holes at the top of the toes of the footprints, which were indeed very small, just a little thicker than a toothpick, and did not reach close , if you are not careful, it is really not easy to find.

Ning Xiaofan raised his body and asked, "What is this small round hole?"

Aunt Xiang replied: "It's the claws. The claws of this creature should not be able to be retracted into the palm like that of cats. However, our analysts have analyzed that the shape of the claws of this creature is similar to that of cats. It is curved, because the claws cannot be retracted, so when the footprints are left, the tips of the claws are also left, and the claws of this creature are very hard and sharp..."

Ning Xiaofan felt his heart palpitate when he heard it: "So, the person whose internal organs were gutted was really done by this kind of creature. Sigh, it's so powerful, but no one knows what it is The hell."

Aunt Xiang sighed solemnly and said, "So, this is the scariest thing. For the next trip, we have to be careful. Our analysts have also analyzed the horror of this creature. This unknown creature is not only cruel and bloodthirsty, but also has a secretive whereabouts. It should move quite quickly and kill the target quietly... Otherwise, our people would not be disemboweled with almost no defense. The fate, I think, you don't want to have the same fate..."

Ning Xiaofan couldn't help shivering, nodded hurriedly and said: "Be vigilant, you have to be more vigilant, we have to increase our manpower to take turns to be vigilant even when we sleep at night."

As he said that, Ning Xiaofan first notified Lao Wang and others who stayed behind to come and meet him, then turned his eyes to look behind him, intending to remind the fat man first, so that he would not know what was going on.

It's just that when he glanced around, the fat man wasn't behind him, and when he looked left and right, he didn't see the fat man's figure. Even Yang Hai, who was squatting beside him before, left without knowing when?

Ning Xiaofan couldn't help being shocked, he jumped up and asked, "Fatty, where's the fatty? And Lao Yang? Why don't you see anyone?"

"I saw Yang Hai and Fatty go over there earlier..." Aunt Xiang pointed to the direction where the footprints disappeared. There were several huge rocks just blocking the view.

Halo, what are these two guys doing there?

Knowing the danger of the unknown creature, the unknown creature might be hiding nearby. These two careless guys ran around without calling each other. Isn't this looking for death?

Ning Xiaofan quickly called on the walkie-talkie: "Lao Yang, fat man, answer quickly!"

"receive."

"What's the matter?"

The voices of Lao Yang and Fatty came from the headset respectively.

"Where did you two go?"

"Xiao Fan, Lao Yang and I are looking for the corpse of the monster." Only the fat man replied carelessly.

"Looking for a monster corpse? What monster corpse?" Ning Xiaofan froze for a moment.

"It's the monster that left footprints. Think about it. Aunt Xiang didn't say that the fish in the colorful star stream are poisonous. The monster has eaten so many fish, so it's no wonder that it doesn't die of poison. The monster that left footprints will die if it can't be handled properly." Nearby."

Ning Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, the fat man was right, the fish in the stream is poisonous, it's no wonder that the monster would not die if it ate the fish.

In my mind, Aunt Xiang said through the intercom interface: "Fatty, the monsters that leave footprints are not so easy to die. Those monsters are extremely dangerous. You and Yang Hai should come back quickly!"

With the virtue of a fat man who is afraid of death, once he heard something extremely dangerous, he dared to wander around, he quickly agreed, and rushed back.

Fortunately, the two didn't search very far, and they rushed back quickly.

As soon as the fat man came back, he hurriedly asked the danger of the monster that left the footprints. After hearing the tragic situation of someone dying under the claws of the monster, he couldn't help turning pale, sweating, and calling himself reckless.

Ning Xiaofan saw the fat man's demeanor, and couldn't help but sneered: "You fat man, you still know that you are reckless, when did you become so diligent? How dare you still think about finding the corpse of a monster?" ?”

"Uh, I just want to verify...that's what..." Fatty's expression became a little coy.

"Verify? Verify what?"

"Verify whether this fish is poisonous."

"Hey, why did you think of verifying this?" Ning Xiaofan wondered.

The fat man smiled coyly: "Hey, I think this fish is very beautiful, maybe it tastes good. Didn't there be footprints here? I see that most of this pile of fish have been gnawed to the bone, so I want to verify it. If it is poisonous , it is very possible to find the corpse of the monster that left footprints nearby, if it is not poisonous, the corpse will definitely not be found, fat man, can I taste the taste of this fish?"
