Zhou Jian took out the GPS locator from his backpack again. The locator showed that he had been walking westward, so was there something wrong with the compass?
This American-style compass is a special product for jungle hunters. Its quality is absolutely high. It uses advanced nano-battery as its power source and can be used for more than ten years without charging.
Is there magnetite nearby? The compass failed due to interference from the magnetic field?
Zhou Jian looked in the direction of the compass. That direction was the center of the stagnant swamp. The ghost killer had very good eyesight. Zhou Jian vaguely saw a silver-white hemispherical object there, which was mostly buried underground. It was not like
It's a natural thing.
Zhou Jian took out the telescope in his backpack. When he saw the appearance of the thing clearly, Zhou Jian was stunned. It was an artificial metal hemisphere with a surface as smooth as a mirror. There was an empty groove in the center of the sphere.
A strange symbol was carved into the hollow metal around the groove, like a secret spell totem.
Zhou Jian was slightly startled when he saw this symbol. Isn't that... the logo of the online game "Gods and Demons"?
What's going on? Does this symbol represent a country or a force? Is it the boss behind "Gods and Demons"?
Many ideas passed through Zhou Jian's mind, but he rejected them all. According to his understanding, "Gods and Demons" is jointly operated by several major countries in the world. The server brain is in space and is called "Myth". According to the customer service lady
It is said that Shinhwa seems not to be dominated by any country and operates "Gods and Demons" independently. Does this symbol represent the "Myth" of the intellectual brain?
Does this have anything to do with my own Demon Slayer clone?
Zhou Jian can understand supernatural phenomena, such as supernatural powers, time travel, monsters and the like. After all, human science has only developed for a few hundred years, so it is not surprising that there are many things that cannot be explained.
But he couldn't understand how the fictional things in online games could jump into reality. This was not a supernatural phenomenon, but something extremely ridiculous. The so-called incarnation of the Demon Slayer and the so-called game equipment were just programs.
How could these things become reality?
But this was the case. Zhou Jian had no choice but to believe it and could only suppress the doubts in his heart. This time, he had a vague premonition that what he saw might reveal a shocking secret to him.
Zhou Jian was not lacking in adventurous spirit. He broke off a branch from an unknown tree and prepared to go to the backwater swamp to find out.
Legends about swamps swallowing people can be seen everywhere in literature. In fact, real swamps are not that exaggerated. Generally speaking, rotten mud cannot accumulate indefinitely, because anaerobic bacteria will decompose organic matter, and then as the depth increases
, changes in pressure, and loss of water, the mud deep underground will slowly harden. In addition, mud has a high viscosity and buoyancy, and the density of the human body is close to that of water. Taking a deep breath is even less than that of water.
It can float in mud without sinking.
Unfortunately, the above are just normal situations. In fact, some weird things always happen in nature, such as uneven mud density distribution, heavy top and light bottom, or there is simply a void underneath the mud and it sinks in when you step on it.
Once the whole body is submerged in the swamp trap, let alone climbing out, even if someone pulls it out, it will not be possible.
Zhou Jian beat the mud with branches and moved forward cautiously. The air was filled with a foul smell. The animal bones floating in the backwaters were still hung with rotting rotten meat. However, the strange thing was that even flies and vultures
I don't want to come here to enjoy a delicious meal at your fingertips.
If anyone here sees this scene at this time, they will definitely be stunned. Others cannot see the invisible Zhou Jian, so they can only see a piece of wood knocking and moving forward.
Zhou Jian was alert to dangers that might arise at any time. He imagined that a mud monster might suddenly emerge from the swamp, or that he might inhale some poisonous gas. However, nothing happened until he reached the metal ball.
The diameter of the metal hemisphere was about two meters, and most of it was buried underground. What surprised Zhou Jian was that in such a dirty environment, there was not even a speck of mud on the surface of the metal ball, which could be used to detect people.
Zhou Jian looked at it for a while, then hesitantly stretched out his hand and touched the ball. It felt cold and smooth, like mercury.
Couldn't this thing be a radioactive substance, so it caused a one-kilometer radius to become a dead zone?
Realizing this, Zhou Jian shuddered in his heart. If ordinary people were exposed to radioactive substances, it would probably cause dizziness, nausea, body ulcers and other symptoms. It is estimated that the armor of the Demon Slayer clone would not be able to protect against radioactive substances.
What defense...
Zhou Jian decided to investigate quickly and leave as soon as possible. He didn't feel anything when he was exposed to radioactive material, but he was very likely to die from it afterwards.
He walked around the ball and soon found a bone on the ground. When he picked it up and looked at it, he was shocked to find that it was actually a human hand bone.
Has anyone been here before? Zhou Jian used tree branches to dig on the ground to see if he could dig out other bones, but he couldn't find any after digging for a while.
A severed hand and a seemingly harmless metal ball. Zhou Jian touched his chin and couldn't think of any connection between the two.
He turned his attention to the metal carvings on the surface of the ball. When Zhou Jian looked closer, he suddenly realized that this logo was missing something compared to the logo of the game "Gods and Demons". In the center of the logo of the game "Gods and Demons" was a piece of
Blue spar, but where the blue spar should have appeared in the center of the metal carving, there is only an empty groove. Could it be that the spar was once placed here but was stolen?
Why did that person steal the crystal? Did he meet him by chance, or did he come here specifically for the crystal?
What exactly is this metal ball? What is its connection with the game "Gods and Demons"?
Could this thing be the "mythical" brain that fell from space?
Zhou Jian had no clue in his mind. He continued to explore and found nothing, so he had to give up and return along the original road.
After exiting the Blackwater Swamp, Zhou Jian used the GPS locator to record the longitude and latitude here. Although he didn't find any secrets here, there is no harm in writing it down.
It was already getting late. Zhou Jian felt like vomiting just thinking about continuing to walk through the Amazon forest. The heat, humidity, and mud were nothing to mention. All kinds of disgusting-looking and colorful bugs were crawling through the dead branches and leaves.
Go, it will make people's scalp numb just looking at it, and a sneak attack that may appear at any time will make people sleep with one eye open.
But for the sake of the mutated anaconda's snake gallbladder, Zhou Jian still went on. He had been walking along the tributary of the Madeira River these days. Although this river without a name was just a tributary of the Amazon River, because
The tropical rainforest has abundant rainfall, and the river surface is wider than most rivers in the country. Mutated anacondas are anacondas that spend most of their lives in the water, so the probability of finding them in the river is the highest.
