Along the way, the losses suffered by the team members were the lowest since all the expeditions of Chen Si and Qin Chuan's team. Except for one who was killed by Foehn Wind, the other team members have survived until now without any danger.
.This is due to the openness and frank cooperation between Qin Chuan and Chen Si. Together with Qiu Huiyan, who is very familiar with the situation of Xirang Temple, they form the most stable iron triangle, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so the team can have more
This time danger was saved.
The number of people was quickly counted, and no missing people were found. Chen Si had a stern look on his face. He let out a heavy "hum" and gritted his teeth and said: "Nelson and the old bald donkey Soren Gyatso actually came in too.
They want to mess up this situation, and their intentions are really vicious! Well, let's see if they can get out alive this time." There was a strong murderous intent in these words. A gleam of light flashed in Chen Si's eyes.
"Cheer up and keep moving forward." Chen Si breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these blackbirds hovering above his head for a while and then flew elsewhere. If these blackbirds flew down, it would be a tragedy.
Chen Si has had the painful experience of being attacked by smart animals many times, and he is most helpless against such attacks. On the ghost island, being attacked by those pterosaurs is the best example. Close combat can only rely on cold weapons.
The casualty rate was extremely high, which was the last thing Chen Si wanted to see.
"Chen Si!" Gu Fengchun thought for a moment and called out to Chen Si.
"What's the matter?" Chen Si stopped immediately when Gu Fengchun called him.
"Look at the ground and on us." Gu Fengchun said immediately: "Do you find anything wrong with this bird droppings?"
"Huh?" Chen Si was worried about the safety of his team all the way. He didn't have as much time as Gu Fengchun to study these subtle issues.
"There have been so many blackbirds living here, why is the ground so clean?" Gu Fengchun said solemnly: "You have also seen that when the blackbirds are tossed, they drop countless bird droppings. How can it be kept so clean here?
"
"Not bad!" Chen Si's heart trembled. After Gu Fengchun's reminder, he immediately realized the problem. "This is weird!" Chen Si said immediately. But Chen Si couldn't think of any reason at once.
He immediately turned his attention to Qiu Huiyan in front of him. This means that this question was asked by your son, so you should be able to answer it, right?
Qiu Huiyan thought for a while and said: "There are only two possibilities: the first is that it was processed by another organism, and the second possibility is that it was decomposed by the microorganisms here, but the two possible final explanations are that it was decomposed
." Qiu Huiyan's thinking was much more rigorous than that of Gu Fengchun, and he immediately proposed the concept of microbial decomposition. Gu Fengchun was very impressed after hearing this. Mom is the best! Gu Fengchun thought to himself.
"That's not what I care about. The question is, are these things harmful to us?" Gu Fengchun asked his mother.
Qiu Huiyan smiled bitterly at him and said, "I don't know about this either."
Although Qiu Huiyan didn't know, judging from her expression, she clearly supported a dangerous tendency. People who went deep into this place were obviously pessimistic in their thoughts and emotions. Gu Fengchun was even more awe-inspiring. If
If microorganisms decompose the excrement of this huge blackbird population, it means that the decomposition ability of this microorganism is super terrifying. It is definitely more dangerous to humans than the "dung shell beetles" he had previously imagined.
Chen Si thought for a while, quickly greeted everyone, took out a towel, dipped it in water, and cleaned all the bird droppings on his body. As a god of war, he would not ignore any possibility that could kill his army.
of.
"We have to leave here quickly." Qiu Huiyan looked up at the horizon and found a layer of dark clouds flying over from here in the distance. She took a deep breath and said. The dark clouds were actually the ones that were hit by the gunshots just now.
The blackbirds who were so frightened that they left the woods probably felt that the place was quiet again, so they came back again. Qiu Huiyan was obviously deeply afraid of this kind of blackbird, so he was eager to leave this place.
"Okay." Chen Si also wanted to leave this area, so he immediately urged the team to get on the road.
"I'm afraid I can't leave now!" Qin Chuan's expression changed, he took a breath of cold air and said calmly. Looking along Qin Chuan's gaze, a group of black, thumb-sized black beetles looked like black from a distance.
The tide came over. The black and translucent bodies of these small beetles made people shudder. What made everyone feel horrified was that such a huge group of beetles did not make a sound when they were marching.
Chen Si's face twitched, and he immediately shouted out loud: "Flamethrower, be ready!"
Gu Fengchun also felt a thump in his heart. Because this black beetle looks similar to a dung beetle, but it is obviously different from the dung beetle in that their individuals are stronger, and their heads and abdomen are also larger.
.
When the blackbirds soared just now, they made the whole forest extremely dirty. But when this army of dung beetles swept past, those dirty things disappeared immediately, and were replaced by a stream of black things.
Many trees were stained with bird droppings and were cleaned by dung beetles climbing up them.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that they were in big trouble this time. The team members were not very afraid of ferocious beasts such as Ye Biao, because even if these ferocious beasts set out in groups, they would not be much larger. Under the attack of modern weapons, they would not be able to use them.
How long does it take to resolve the crisis, but insects are often more dangerous because they have a very strong population. This advantage is enough to consume all the trump cards in everyone's hands. This is why whether it is Chen Si or
Qinchuan, the reason why everyone in the team must be armed with flamethrowers on a large scale is because they are afraid of these insect-like creatures.
The team members quickly arranged a circle according to the instructions. This was not the first time they had arranged such a formation, but each time it was more frightening than the last time. "Create an open space first!" Chen Si saw.
There were many trees around, and his heart suddenly trembled. But he saw countless beetles climbing up the tree trunks.
Immediately, a team member took out a portable electric saw from his backpack. As soon as the electric saw was fired, the surrounding trees fell down. Although these trees were extremely hard, their hardness was compared to the power of the electric saw.
It's still a lot worse. It's just that the resin flowing out of these trees is highly corrosive, and it won't take long for a saw blade to be completely scrapped. Fortunately, there are enough people and a lot of backup saw blades, so it won't take long.
, finally freed up a piece of open space.
"Are we going to defend like this?" Qiu Huiyan frowned. She knew very well that there were so many beetles that it would not be a wise idea to defend until the end. But she also understood Chen Si's conservative tactics.
Compared with escaping for one's life, this tactic of holding on to a corner is still very useful.
Chen Si smiled bitterly and said: "No, let's distinguish the number and purpose of these beetles first, and then we can make other plans. No matter where we go now, it is very dangerous. It is better to stop and figure out the situation first."
Make plans.”
Qiu Huiyan nodded. The beetles were coming from all directions, and she couldn't tell how many there were.
"What kind of bug is this?" Gu Fengchun asked puzzledly. He initially thought the bug looked a bit like a dung beetle, but the more he looked at it, the bigger the difference became, and finally he couldn't help but ask.
"It's a corpse-eating insect." Qiu Huiyan thought for a while and said, "This kind of insect existed in ancient Egypt. It was a mutated species. That species was relatively docile."
"So that's it!" Gu Fengchun suddenly realized. No wonder he thought the bug looked familiar. In movies about mummies, a black beetle that looks very similar to this bug is also very popular. It's just that computers
The images created by technology are incomparable to the "visual feast" in front of you. Gu Fengchun knew it by touching the goosebumps on his arms.
"Carrion-eating bugs like all putrid things, including corpses and animal excrement. Obviously, they come for the excrement of these blackbirds, but they will also attack living creatures." Qiu Huiyan's voice
Said very worriedly.
"Fire!" Chen Si forced the Corpse-Eating Insect to get close to the team almost twenty meters before launching the attack. Because he knew very well that only at such a short distance, the flamethrower's lethality was the most powerful. Because the flamethrower's
The maximum lethality is between 150 and 200 meters. If the corpse-eating bugs start spraying as soon as they enter the attack range, it will be a waste of resources. So he suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.
They just waited for the corpse-eating insects to get so close before they started spraying. I saw the tongues of fire sweeping from near to far, and the sound was amazing. Wherever the tongues of fire swept, there was a "pop-pop..." sound like fried peanuts.
The sound continued continuously. At the same time, a foul smell filled the air. The team members who took off their gas masks hurriedly put on their gas masks again to avoid being fainted by the stench.
The spraying of the flamethrower also caused another effect, that is, it started a fire in the surrounding woods. I don’t know what the black resin in these trees consists of. Once caught by the flames, it burned all of a sudden, and the fire was even more intense.
The fuel in the flamethrower was even stronger. When Chen Si saw that the surrounding woods were on fire, he was stunned.
"Damn, miscalculation." Chen Si cursed in his heart. Fortunately, he asked his team members to cut out a clearing, otherwise the burning woods around them would be enough to turn them into roast pigs! But the burning ones
The heat released by the trees is enough for everyone to drink a pot. But compared to those corpse-eating insects, everyone is still much luckier.
"Gugu..." Suddenly, a horrifying voice came from above.
