Marketing numbers come true

Chapter 37 Countercurrent
Like a swarm of bees disturbed in sleep, a large number of slippery molluscs of different lengths wriggled on the ground, in the water, and behind the stones, and the scale was comparable to another black water stream.

Leeches are blood-sucking animals. There are few animals in the deep and dark underground, so it is difficult for Yu Xian to understand how so many leeches reproduce.

But now is not the time to think about the evolution of species, escape first!
The group of leeches behind them was extremely abnormal, crawling quite fast, and even some larger individuals could be ejected by twisting their bodies.

Yu Xian's body has been strengthened by the power of dinosaur blood, but no armor has grown directly on the body surface. If you bite a leech twice, you will always be bitten and suck blood.

After being chased like this, he couldn't go deeper into the cave as originally planned.

The more leeches accumulated along the current, Yu Xian could only run against the direction of the current and run up the bank slope.

Black molluscs kept jumping out of the water, making people sick to their stomachs.

As the area of ​​the passage narrowed, Yu Xian was getting closer to the swollen area of ​​the underground river, and there was less space for moving around.

A few leeches jumped onto the trouser legs, and were quickly kicked away. It was okay to deal with it in the short term, but going on like this is not an option.

Raising his head, Yu Xian saw a fork in the cave about 20 meters above the rock wall, which opened inwards. He immediately reached out and grabbed the rock wall, and climbed up quickly.

This climbing proficiency is far beyond the leech's ability, free-handed rock climbing, without any stagnation, and directly throws off the crisis below.

"call."

Yu Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he reached the upper hole where the leeches couldn't reach.

It is indeed the instinct absorbed from the climbing ornithosauridae, and the climbing ability is beyond imagination.

With such a distance, Yu Xian has free time to observe the situation of the entire dark river below.

The river water came from farther away, forming a waterfall at the height difference, and there were strands of silky substances floating inside, like seaweed.

Laver does not exist in fresh water, it is estimated that it is the root system of other algae or plants.

In places where the water flow is slightly shallower and slower, leeches can be seen clinging to the roots of plants and eating vegetables, forming a similar symbiotic relationship.

When there is a living thing approaching that may threaten the extension of the plant, the leech group will attack in a swarm.

In contrast, the dead leech decays and decomposes, and also becomes the nourishment for the root system.

Seeing such a scene, Yu Xian immediately lost the motivation to fetch water.

Even if the leech swarm didn't launch an attack, all kinds of disgusting things in the waters would be hard to swallow.

I can only change my original thinking, follow the water flow upwards, go to the source to find a clean place, and don't make a plan for the next step.

Before continuing to climb, Yu Xian took another look at the underground river.

If you are trapped in the mountain belly for too long and the food in your backpack is exhausted, do you want to eat leeches...

Vomit Ou———

"No, no, this won't work."

In the eyes of ancient medical scholars, leeches are actually a kind of medicinal material, especially the leeches here can't suck any blood, and most of them are sucking the juice of plants, which sounds relatively clean.

But...Physiologically, it is really unacceptable. Unless Yu Xian is starved to death, he will never have the idea of ​​eating the leech meal.

Looking into the depths of the current cave, there is only a hole the size of an arm in the end, and it is impossible to continue moving, and you have to climb to a higher place.

Although Yu Xian has acquired some crawling instincts of the ornithosauridae, and the quality has also improved significantly, but he has not fully adapted to the height, and he is more or less afraid of heights.

Forcing himself not to look down, Yu Xian climbed all the way to the level with the outlet of the underground river, and then jumped into the hole.

Watch the water flow vigilantly, there are also black molluscs wriggling inside, just because Yu Xian didn't rush to disturb the water this time, the leech group is temporarily stable.

There is still no rest here, so I can only continue upstream against the current, looking for clean water.

Keep a distance from the dark river, move until the remaining [-]% of the soul power rests, and then continue to trace the source.

As he walked, Yu Xian gradually realized that something was wrong.

There were fewer and fewer leeches in the dark river, and they were probably washed down, but long strips like plant roots still existed.

How can a plant's roots grow so long?

I climbed up a section of the cave again, and Yu Xian guessed that I went down the slope a few days ago, and climbed back to a similar height these days.

Because of this, there are almost no leeches in the water flow.

Picking up a big stone and throwing it, the water broke through the waves, and then returned to normal flow without any abnormality.

Only then did Yu Xian feel at ease to scoop water out of his dining box, and then set fire to some rotten branches washed ashore with a flint and steel.

While waiting for the water to boil, Yu Xian tried to pick up a plant root from the dark river, and found that this thing really continued from the height to the abyss.

The jungle knife picked up was put down again.

I was planning to cut off the root of the tree to see what was going on, but Yu Xian thought about the symbiotic relationship between the leech and this strange plant, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​harming the plant.

Boil the water first, then increase the water storage capacity in the kettle.

It is not easy to find burning objects in the ground, and Yu Xian keeps expanding the scope of exploration, and the rotten branches and leaves collected are only enough to boil a pot of water.

It's better to have something than nothing. After going underground for so many days, I can always drink something warm.

"What kind of evil am I doing? I have to get in touch with the pangolin business every now and then."

Thinking back to the peaceful days in the city, if Yu Xian hadn't made such a trip, it would be more or less time for him to receive contact from some editors by now.

There should be nothing to change in the dozens of essences of the five essay collections "Xueba Literature Library" that were sent out later.

Thinking of the beautiful life outside, Yu Xian ignited his fighting spirit and wanted to go out no matter what!

Drink some hot water and get a little sleep to rejuvenate.

The marketing account is as quiet as a chicken, and Yu Xian can only work hard on his own.

Before setting off, click on the Dragon Search Map to see if there are any dinosaur fossils that can be extracted nearby.

Just inadvertently confirming the use of the Xunlong Atlas, it seems that a huge flow of information exploded in Yu Xian's mind.

After resting, the soul power recovered to almost full amount exploded, and instantly dropped from 100% to below 50%.

Huge mental exhaustion caused Yu Xian's body to sway, and he almost passed out, as if he was being drained by a water machine in an instant, his brain froze for a long time before he recovered.

"what's the situation…"

The mental shock was too exaggerated, and Yu Xian didn't know whether his trance had passed for a few minutes or a few ten minutes. The only thing he could be sure of was the layer upon layer of pointers jumping in front of him.

With the click just now, Xunlong Atlas found a large number of dinosaur fossils in one go.

Every time you hunt for a dragon, you need to pay extra for the player's mental power, and the multiplied superimposition consumes a lot of energy in an instant.

Leaning against the rock mass, Yu Xian gently sat back on the ground, alleviating the residual dizziness and shock in his head.

The signs of the dragon-hunting map just now indicate that there are an astonishing number of dinosaur fossils nearby...
