Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 15 Extinct Creatures

The poisonous snake quickly took out medical medicine to treat my wound, and wiped it with disinfectant alcohol, which made me shiver from the pain.

"Do you know it hurts now?" Company Commander Chen slapped me on the head, looking fierce but actually useless.

I laughed a few times, then frowned and explained the situation just now: "I did hit it, it's soft, but I don't know why I can't see it with the naked eye..."

Everyone also expressed that they heard the mouse-like cry, and couldn't figure out why the thing seemed invisible in front of us.

Lao Yan exhaled the smoke ring, let me rest first, and he will think about it!

Then I saw him take out a yellowed diary from the waterproof bag and turn it over, smashing it twice from time to time, as if he saw something strange.

I didn't care about it anymore. After the injury on my leg was bandaged, I felt a little drowsy. I thought that nothing would happen in the fire, so I was relieved for the time being.

Everyone was exhausted on this day. Originally, Hawkeye and Poisonous Snake had to watch the night, but Lao Yan told them to rest and he would watch tonight. They didn't refuse, packed up and slept next to the fire.

I slept extremely unsteadily, and the wound throbbed from time to time. In the dream, the faces of Milkman and Shorty appeared alternately, asking me why I didn’t avenge them, especially Milkman, who dragged his bloody upper body bit by bit. Crawled towards me, screaming with a distorted face...

"what!"

I let out a scream, and opened my eyes only to find that it was just dawn.

"What happened?"

Everyone was obviously woken up by me, I waved my hand embarrassedly and said it was just a nightmare.

Normally, they would have to laugh at me fiercely, but now they are all silent, and their faces are not very good-looking, I am afraid that there is a shadow in their hearts.

I propped myself up and sat up, and the poisonous snake changed my medicine, saying that we would not be able to walk today due to the injury.

"Where are you going? Didn't you say you'd stay here and fuck your mother." Hawkeye spat angrily, "I'm here today!"

I wanted to deal with that damn thing myself, but my injury didn't allow it, so I didn't refuse, watching Hawkeye violently take the baby's clothes off me and put them on.

He was stronger than Milkman, and the latter's clothes seemed to burst on him, making people laugh, but no one could laugh.

"Take off."

Lao Yan at the side suddenly opened his mouth, his eyelids turned blue, and he was still holding the yellowed diary in his hand, he had been studying this book all night.

Hawkeye stuck his neck and couldn't take it off, he had to kill that thing today.

Snapped!
Lao Yan threw the book in his hand on the ground heavily, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "If you don't take it off, Lord Yan will not be able to save your life!"

We all looked at the book, and saw a stick figure drawn on it: a big soft bug about half the height of a person and the thickness of a bucket lay there, and the criss-crossed fangs in its mouth gleamed sharply. ...

This worm is earthy-yellow, and at first glance it looks like an earthworm magnified countless times.

"This, what is it?" I frowned, and I already had the answer in my heart. Since Lao Yan showed it to us, it means that this thing is most likely the ghost thing that made us look ashamed these two days.

Sure enough, Lao Yan nodded, lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "The sandworm is also a creature that should have been extinct long ago. I only thought it was recorded in the department when I heard the cry yesterday."

According to Lao Yan, the sandworms are solitary creatures, usually there are only one or two in a desert, and they usually live on some insects in the desert.

The color of the whole body and the desert makes them very good at camouflage, and they wait for the prey to approach and swallow them in one bite. Their teeth are extremely sharp, and they can bite off even a crocodile with a hard skin.

As he said that, he clicked on Hawkeye with the hand holding the cigarette, and asked Hawkeye to take off his clothes in a frenzy, and said that I was lucky yesterday and acted quickly, otherwise I would have been out of breath.

I was taken aback by what he said, and Hawkeye was so frightened that he quickly tore off his clothes. Afterwards, everyone looked at Lao Yan and asked him what to do?
Lao Yan exhaled the smoke ring, and said with a sneer that he was not a monster, as long as he saw it collapse with a single shot.

We look at each other, the key is not to see it?
"Which of you has the best marksmanship?" Lao Yan asked.

We were all silent, Ao Dun was a sharpshooter, but unfortunately he died, I couldn't do it, I have touched a lot of guns in the past three years, but my level is really mediocre.

Company Commander Chen looked back and forth between the eagle eye and the poisonous snake, and finally clicked on the poisonous snake: "You go."

The poisonous snake didn't object, so Kaka loaded the gun and asked Lao Yan what to do next.

Lao Yan took out something from the waterproof bag and threw it to Hawkeye: "This is an infrared night vision device, a serious American product. Sandworms are the same color as yellow sand. You can't see them during the day. When it gets dark at night, you can see them." With this thing on, the sandworm will naturally have nowhere to hide."

Hawkeye rubbed the two palm-sized instruments excitedly, his face flushed.

I dragged my legs and leaned over to ask him to play two games for me. He immediately pushed me away: "Go away, I wanted to play Taiwan for a long time, but unfortunately only foreign special forces can equip it. Yes, I have to think about it carefully."

As he said that, he gave me a look like a thief, and turned his back to hide to the side.

"Lao Yan..." I moved closer to Lao Yan who was smoking a cigarette and laughed.

He glanced at me, then spread his hands: "No, just that one."

I sighed in disappointment, and Lao Yan said that I was worthless, and when Hawkeye had studied it thoroughly, he would naturally touch me a couple of times.

I curled my lips, slandering him for not understanding Hawkeye. Once this person encounters a new gadget, he won’t lose interest unless he disassembles it and waits for every part to be engraved with his name.

Sure enough, since Hawkeye got the infrared night vision device, he shrank away and didn't even remember to eat.

"Okay, there will always be times when I will give you a couple of touches, so let's think about how to cope with the daytime." Company Commander Chen patted my shoulder, frowning, obviously not relieved by the solution proposed by Lao Yan .

The momentary excitement passed, and I also remembered the current situation. The fire was lit at night because the temperature was low. If I stayed in the fire during the day, I was afraid that I would be roasted dry. I guess the fire will have to be extinguished in about ten minutes. .

I frowned and thought for a while, and asked Lao Yan if he knew any natural enemies of this sandworm?
Lao Yan glanced at me and said yes, but we couldn't get it.

"What is it?" I was a little curious. I was just asking casually, without any hope at all. After all, sandworms are extremely stealthy creatures.

"Wolf!" Lao Yan stared at me, before I said anything he added: "Desert Wolf King."

I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard it, the Desert Wolf King, that is an almost godlike existence in the desert.

The wolf king is the fiercest and wisest wolf among a group of wolves. Generally, wolf kings are difficult to deal with, and the desert wolf king is even more outstanding. According to legend, not only is his wisdom not inferior to that of humans, but he can also communicate with gods. Like a fish in water, there is no way to survive when encountering it.

The only good thing is that the number of wolves in the desert is very small, and the wolf king is rare in a hundred years. This thing can't be avoided, who would dare to provoke it?Besides, it's not something we can provoke if we want to.

"The fire is going out..."

Chen Lianchang suddenly said something.

I turned my head to look at the fire, and then I thought of a way to tell everyone to take out all the iron bars in the bag and form a circle and stare at the desert.

There were seven iron rods in total, and for the sake of safety, the distance between each rod was only as thick as an adult's calf, and then the iron plates were spread on the ground, and five people squatted in a circle.

"The sandworm's teeth are sharp, and these iron bars may not be able to defend against them." Hawkeye finally lifted his head from the infrared night vision device.

I waved my hand and said that it wasn't to block it, but if it wanted to break through, it had to bite off the iron bar or iron plate, which would definitely make a sound, and then just sweep it with a gun to scare it off!

Sandworms sound weird, but generally the better a creature is at camouflage, the weaker its frontal attack capability is. Camouflage is just their survival rule, not to mention that the sandworms did not continue to attack after we shot a few times before.

"It's a good way, cheer up, it would be best if you can smash the head of this thing with one shot." Company Commander Chen laughed a few times, patted my shoulder and said.

The five of us stood facing each other with our ears pricked up, not daring to let go of a strange sound.

After standing like this for two or three hours, I couldn't bear the injury in my leg, so I leaned on Company Commander Chen's back a little.

"Can you hold it?" He turned to look at me.

I nodded, and just as I was about to speak, I heard a click...

coming!
