Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Regarding the issues between Wuxie and his third uncle, we will leave them aside for now.

The top priority right now is to find the people who just exchanged fire.

Whether it's the Men in Black or Wu Sansheng, as long as you find one of these people, you can solve some mysteries.

But problems also arise. They rushed here immediately after hearing the gunshots.

The last gunshot was fired more than ten minutes ago. When they arrived here, they didn't even see anyone.

In just ten minutes, these people would not be able to run far with a wounded person.

But they searched the nearby 100-meter radius, but found no trace, not even the footprints of leaving!

Where have these people gone?

People are puzzled by this. Could it be that they can fly with wings?

At this time, Ji Changsheng suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough he made a discovery.

There was only a less obvious trace on the ground. The blood was mixed with some mud, and it looked like it was being dragged on the ground.

"Everyone follow me!"

Ji Changsheng did not explain, but just followed the trace and walked deeper into the dense forest.

Others quickly followed.

The trace became shallower and shallower, and after extending for more than two hundred meters, it finally disappeared.

Ji Changsheng stopped under a big tree and looked up.

The fat man caught up and asked.

"Mr. Ji, did you find anything?"

Ji Changsheng nodded and pointed at the big tree.

"They're in the trees!"

Everyone looked up and saw that there were indeed some marks on the tree trunk!

Then they all showed puzzled looks.

"Why are they climbing trees when they have nothing to do?"

Ji Changsheng was about to answer.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the top of the big tree.

This sound is all too familiar to everyone. It is the sound of a cockscomb snake crawling!

Moreover, many snakes are crawling together to make such a sound!

Everyone's expressions tightened, and they drew their guns one after another. They formed a circle back to back and looked nervously towards the top of the tree.

At this glance, an extremely terrifying and strange scene appeared!

At the top of a big tree dozens of meters high, a blood-red thing was squirming in an extremely weird way, like a huge red meat ball!

"I'll go, what the hell is that!"

The fat man raised his gun, his legs trembling with fear from this scene.

That thing is so weird, like an alien creature from a science fiction movie!

Ji Changsheng said with a genuine expression.

"It's a group of snakes."

When everyone heard this, they quickly took out their binoculars and took a closer look.

Sure enough, as Ji Changsheng said, that red meat ball was actually countless cockscomb snakes hugged into a ball!

They hugged each other tightly, entangled with each other, and looked like a red meat ball from a distance.

Jack immediately exclaimed and said.

"I remembered that when some snakes are mating, these snake masses will appear!"

"Many male snakes are mating with the same female snake, and they are entangled with each other like this!"

Then, he showed a puzzled look.

"But these cockscomb snakes obviously have no reproductive capacity. Why are they hugging each other?"

The fat man thought for a while and said.

"Hey, have you ever heard of food matching?"

Jack shook his head blankly.

"Never heard of it, what is that?"

The fat man smiled evilly and explained.

"That was a reward given to eunuchs by ancient emperors. Eunuchs are fake men and can no longer have sex with women."

"But with the emperor's permission, they can pretend to be husband and wife with the palace maid and sit and eat together."

"It's just a show. Although it's not physically satisfying, it's a kind of psychological comfort."

"This is called eating."

Jack, being a straight man, frowned.

"But what does the ancient eunuch have to do with these snakes?"

The fat man pointed to the top of the tree and said with a smile.

"These cockscomb snakes are just like eunuchs. They don't have that ability, but they can make a show."

"It's a comfort."

Only then did Jack understand what he meant, and suddenly felt that this statement was unreasonable.

"Humans are advanced animals with thoughts. Snakes have no thoughts and feelings. What kind of psychological comfort do they need?"

"That's nonsense!"

The fat man said unconvinced.

"Perhaps they have seen the queen mating and just imitated it instinctively?"

"How else do you explain this?"

Although Jack didn't agree with his point of view, he couldn't explain this strange phenomenon.

At this time, Ji Changsheng said.

"Fat man is really talking nonsense this time. These snakes are not imitating mating."

"If you think about it carefully, besides snakes, are there any other animals that behave like this?"

After everyone thought about it, they all shook their heads in confusion.

Only Wuxie's eyes lit up and he said immediately.

"Ant!"

"Ants do this when they are carrying large prey!"

Although ants are very powerful, when they encounter particularly large prey, they will summon their companions and bring thousands of troops together to carry it.

That scene is exactly the same as these cockscomb snakes!

More importantly, the ants responsible for carrying food are all worker ants, and these genderless cockscomb snakes are worker ants in the snake group!

Ji Changsheng nodded.

"Yes, they are carrying corpses!"

As soon as these words came out, people took out their binoculars and looked again.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be exactly what Ji Changsheng said.

These snakes cooperated with each other and crawled slowly on the treetops in a unique way, looking like they were wriggling.

And a person's hand was revealed in the snake group!

Needless to say, this person must be dead.

The fat man's face changed, and he felt nauseous and hairy.

"Damn, no matter whose body it is, I won't allow it to be trampled by snakes like this!"

After saying that, he raised his gun and was about to shoot.

Ji Changsheng stopped him and shook his head.

"Don't shoot yet, they are still useful."

The fat man was stunned and asked puzzled.

"What else is it useful for?"

Wuxie immediately thought of Ji Changsheng's intention.

"Fatty, where do ants usually move food when they carry it?"

The fat man blurted out.

"Of course they move it home, are they moving it to the second-hand goods market?"

When he finished this sentence, he suddenly realized.

"These snakes are moving the body home, to their nest!"

Ji Changsheng nodded.

"That's right, as long as we follow them, we can find the nest of the crested snakes!"

Everyone was immediately scared. How many snakes should be in the nest of these crested snakes!

They were afraid to avoid it, but Ji Changsheng still wanted to visit other people's homes. This is too bold!

Wu Xie said quickly.

"Mr. Ji, but our priority is to find someone first, right?"

Ji Changsheng smiled.

"In fact, there is no need to look for them deliberately, whether it is the man in black, Wu Sansheng, or Chen Wenjin."

"The final destination of these people is the ghost town. As long as we find the ghost town, we can find them."

"And the nest of these snakes is in the ghost town!"
