Regarding Tai Sui, it has always been a mysterious existence in Chinese civilization.
There is a record of Tai Sui in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Tai Sui is called Ju Rou, Rou Zhi and Shi Rou.
Legend has it that Tai Sui was mainly eaten by emperors and generals in ancient times. They believed that Tai Sui was a fairy that could prolong life. They believed that eating Tai Sui could strengthen the body, replenish qi and spirit, get rid of all diseases, and extend life. In addition, because
Tai Sui grows in a harsh environment and is rare in number, so it was even more loved by ancient emperors. Some emperors even spent countless manpower and financial resources to obtain Tai Sui, but in the end it was all in vain.
From ancient times to the present, things like Tai Sui are something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. This is the first time for Zuo Shisan and others to encounter this thing.
"Don't go there!" Shang Yunsu shouted to stop the fat man who was about to go over to find out.
The fat man stopped, turned back to look at Shang Yunsu and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Such rare treasures are usually protected by ferocious beasts. Otherwise, Tai Sui would have been eaten by other animals." Shang Yunsu said.
After being reminded by Shang Yunsu, Fatty immediately reacted.
Yes, according to common sense, how can something like Tai Sui, which can prolong life, be preserved intact to this day?
If things go wrong, you will become a monster!
"What do you think this is?" Li Hong saw a pit behind one of the dead trees. The pit was hidden behind weeds and difficult to see. The pit was filled with bones of various animals.
Under these white bones, there seemed to be yellow-brown rhizomes as thick as a finger, sucking them all in. It was as if the flesh before the white bones had been absorbed by those yellow-brown rhizomes and provided nutrients.
Everyone looked along these yellow-brown roots, and at the end was the huge Tai Sui plant.
"Xiao Chang, please zoom in closer and take more detailed pictures. Tai Sui of such a huge size is very rare and has high research value." Peng Changsheng told Chang Deming.
Zuo Thirteen's attention was all focused on the huge Tai Sui plant. At this time, Tai Sui seemed to be breathing the air like a human being. The top folds opened and closed, and thick yellow liquid also flowed from the middle of those folds.
Came out.
After a while, the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of yellow liquid.
An Rushuang's powerful perception instantly sensed the approaching danger!
"Everyone, please pay attention, it seems to be summoning something!" An Rushuang reminded.
When the people in the team heard An Rushuang's words, they all became more vigilant. They each took out their self-defense weapons and held them in their hands. They looked in all directions and listened in all directions.
Not long after, there was a "swirling" sound in the grass, as if something was moving quickly in the grass.
"Everyone, be careful, that thing is coming!" Zuo Shisan said, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.
The sound got closer and closer, and suddenly disappeared again!
Everyone was waiting patiently, and suddenly a thick black fog filled the grass. When Shang Yunsu saw this, he quickly shouted:
"It should be poison gas, run back!"
Everyone followed Shang Yunsu and evacuated quickly.
The black fog was getting wider and wider, but fortunately it was not spreading too fast. Under the leadership of Shang Yunsu, everyone came to a high ground and were able to avoid the black poisonous gas for the time being.
Standing at a high place, Peng Changsheng looked at the black poisonous gas that was gradually dissipating and asked Shang Yunsu:
"Yunsu, what's going on with that big cloud of poisonous gas? Could it be that the tomb robbers from Big Buddha's group have discovered us?"
Shang Yunsu's black pupils kept staring straight ahead:
"No, that poisonous gas must have been spit out by some kind of animal."
Shang Yunsu has been in the industry for many years. Although she has changed her ways now, she has experienced too much before. She is so-called knowledgeable. She feels that this poisonous gas is not like the poisonous gas caused by chemical means. This poisonous gas has a large range and is easy to dissipate.
, if it is a chemical gas, it will last much longer.
Li Hong also spoke:
"I think Shang Yunsu's judgment is correct. The source of the poisonous gas should be some unknown animal."
After hearing what they said, Chang Deming and Zhang Rong became a little uneasy:
"What...what kind of thing can spit out so much poisonous gas?"
"It may be a snake that has become a spirit." Shang Yunsu guessed.
"It's not a snake." An Rushuang said decisively.
"No? What should it be?" Shang Yunsu turned around and asked An Rushuang.
An Rushuang pointed to the right front and said:
"It's out!"
After An Rushuang finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction of her finger.
Behind the dead tree, a huge centipede jumped out from the grass. Although it was some distance away, the huge body of the centipede made everyone present take a breath!
The giant centipede is as wide as a person and five or six meters long. It has a red head and a pair of long beards on its head swinging around. Its body is covered with dozens of long black legs. The densely packed feet make people look at it.
My scalp tightened.
Its bamboo-like black body kept swinging, its head shook, and dozens of long legs on its body moved at the same time, at extremely fast speeds!
Zuo Shisan clearly saw that there was a pair of compound eyes on both sides of the giant centipede's head, with a total of four eyes, scanning the area back and forth, as if looking for something...
"Everyone, please don't say anything. It hasn't seen us yet," Li Hong said.
He knew that centipedes have extremely poor eyesight and can only rely on the two long tentacles on their heads to identify directions and explore the location of prey. Therefore, the head becomes the centipede's sensory and feeding organ.
"Damn it, such a big centipede has become a spirit, right?" the fat man sighed.
Shang Yunsu sneered:
"More than just becoming a spirit, this centipede has lived a long time and developed spiritual wisdom. It also wants to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven."
"Get ascended? Turn into a dragon?" the fat man asked.
"This is the pursuit of the animal world, just like the ancient kings' pursuit of immortality. Although no one has ever succeeded, this pursuit has never stopped since ancient times." Shang Yunsu said.
Peng Changsheng nodded and said:
"No wonder it is entrenched here guarding the giant Tai Sui plant. It turns out that it wants to wait until the Tai Sui plant is fully formed, then slowly eat it, so that it can ascend."
Zuo Shisan said:
"That's right, I'm so sorry for that Tai Sui, he still thinks of the centipede as his own protection sign, but he doesn't know that the centipede is fattening it up before eating it."
"Huh~, then... what should we do now?" Li Hong let out a long breath.
"One more thing is worse than one less thing. Let's leave quickly before the monster finds us." Peng Changsheng said.
Everyone unanimously agreed with Peng Changsheng's suggestion and was about to leave when the strange cry of the centipede sounded behind them:
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The sound is like a mouse, but more sharp and harsh!
