Fatty's meaning was very clear. Except for Li Wanting, who could be taken away, the rest of the group didn't need to be taken care of.
Ning Xiaofan shook his head and said: "She said, don't worry about food. There are mushrooms and ferns in this forest that can be eaten. Oh, she said there are also some small animals here, such as rabbits, deer and so on...
"
"Really? Real or fake?" Fatty said with his little eyes blinking: "The mushrooms here are edible? Can you eat them casually?"
"You'll know after eating it, won't you? They will collect some later. If it's edible, take them with you. After all, it's a few human lives. You can't just throw it away."
"That's right, if that's the case, we can also change the dining environment. During this time, I've been eating packaged food, and I've almost faded away." The fat man said, with a serious expression, without any hesitation, just like he never said.
It's normal to just leave it alone.
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fat man's seemingly obedient virtues. At this moment, he finally realized how shameless the fat man was. He was cruel-hearted and thick-skinned.
"By the way, is that girl really your neighbor?" the fat man asked, blinking his little eyes.
"What do you think?"
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. You need a good face, a good figure, and a good look..." The fat man's expression suddenly became obscene.
"Land your sister!" Ning Xiaofan raised his leg and kicked it...
What Li Wanting said was true. The mushrooms and ferns collected were not only edible, but also extremely delicious. The problem of eating was solved. Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and others no longer had to worry, and they naturally stopped talking about cumbersome words.
.
After lunch, everyone rested in the temporary camp for nearly an hour before starting to pack up and prepare to set off.
However, in this dreamlike and fairyland-like environment, there are still fatal dangers lurking, and that giant monster is an example.
With this premise in mind, Ning Xiaofan reorganized and integrated the team before setting off.
Hou San and an armed man from the other side were exploring the road ahead. Zhang Chun and Chen Biao were on the left side of the team, Yang Hai and an armed man under him were on the right side of the team, and Ning Xiaofan, Li Wanting, Professor Zhao and others were walking in the team.
In the middle, closely followed were Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi who were in charge of logistics, and at the end of the team were Fatty and the less popular Wang Zhipeng.
In this way, although the number of people in the team has increased, they are all under armed protection, and the safety factor has not been weakened.
The team was walking in a meandering way. With Professor Zhao and other experts and scholars joining in, its speed could be described as a tortoise speed. The reason was naturally that this glowing forest was so valuable for research that Professor Zhao and others had to leave from time to time.
The team went there, either taking photos, collecting samples, or studying a strange-shaped plant for a long time.
Ning Xiaofan also urged many times while walking and walking. Professor Zhao and others agreed perfunctorily, but they dragged their feet and were reluctant to leave for a long time. They were urged so urgently that they reluctantly followed.
Get on the team.
But not long after, when these experts and scholars saw some strange plants or strange geological forms again, they fell back into their old ways and left the team to conduct research again.
This group of experts and scholars were too dedicated. If they walked like this, they probably wouldn't be able to go very far at night. No, Professor Zhao and others saw several plants with strange shapes and purple light. It was as if they were naked.
The beauties in beautiful clothes all had their eyes shining, and they cheered and gathered around.
This time, no matter how much Ning Xiaofan urged, several experts and scholars turned a deaf ear and refused to move even an inch.
Ning Xiaofan was very helpless about this and wanted to leave it alone, but he had to consider Li Wanting's feelings. As a last resort, Ning Xiaofan could only go to Li Wanting and signal her to persuade her.
Li Wanting naturally felt Ning Xiaofan's impatience, and she felt a little sorry. However, she knew very well that Professor Zhao and others were obsessed with novel things, and she was helpless.
Unable to scold, hit, or throw away these experts and scholars, Ning Xiaofan had a headache and could only admit that he was unlucky, so he simply stopped moving forward and rested on the spot.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofan, Professor Zhao and the others are just like that. This place is of great research value. They also want to get more samples for research. Please bear with me." Li Wanting said with apology in her eyes. She was a little bit
In his heart, he knew that Ning Xiaofan was dissatisfied with Professor Zhao and the others, so he did not stay with Professor Zhao and others. He always followed Ning Xiaofan in order to make peace with him at any time.
"So what if I don't care? With you here, I can't leave them alone." Ning Xiaofan sighed helplessly, and then said: "By the way, you said Professor Zhao is a biological expert, then he
Have you found out what that monster is? It can't be a dinosaur, right?"
"Dinosaur? Haha, you are talking about that big guy, right? When we first met that big guy, we thought we were encountering a dinosaur. Later, after taking a closer look, we found that it was a lizard, just in size.
I don’t know why it got bigger. At noon at the temporary camp, Professor Zhao used instruments to analyze the blood collected and found that the blood genes were similar to known lizard genes. After comparing the known lizard species, it was found that it was probably
A lizard with a mutated head..."
"Mutant lizard? How do you say it?"
"Have you heard of the Komodo dragon?"
"Komodo dragon? I have an impression. It's a giant lizard that grows in Australia, right?"
"It's not Australia, it's Indonesia. The Komodo dragon is only found in Indonesia. It is also the largest lizard species known to exist on the earth. Of course, compared to the mutant dragon we encountered, the history of the largest lizard species is longer.
Rewritten, this is also one of the most valuable discoveries we made this time when we entered the tiankeng..."
"Well, what does that mutant dragon have to do with the Komodo dragon you mentioned?"
"Of course it does matter. Let me tell you this. Although the mutant monitor lizard is huge, its shape has not changed much. Its eyes, head shape, wide front jaw, slender and bifurcated tongue, and thick...
The limbs and pointed claws, including the pimple-shaped skin on the body, are almost exactly the same as the Komodo dragon. If you compare it carefully, you will see that it is an enlarged version of the Komodo dragon."
As soon as Li Wanting talked about academic issues, she became energetic and her beautiful eyes sparkled, adding a bit of intellectual beauty. However, her eyes soon showed a bit of confusion: "From a morphological point of view, then
There are mutant dragon lizards and species belonging to the Komodo dragon. However, what we still don’t understand is how come creatures like the Komodo dragon appear in this sinkhole? Also, why is it so big? Almost
It is comparable to dinosaurs. If it is mutation, what is the mutation? Is it radiation? Or what?
As Li Wanting spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller. She didn't know whether she was asking Ning Xiaofan or talking to herself.
Naturally, Ning Xiaofan couldn't answer these questions. He coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "That...only experts like you can answer this question."
Li Wanting caught a glimpse of his slightly embarrassed look, and then she calmed down, her face flushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
"It's nothing. The discovery of new species is also something worth celebrating. It means that your trip this time is not in vain."
"Yes, this time is really not in vain. This mutant monitor lizard and this luminous forest, no matter which one is exposed, will definitely cause shock in the entire academic world." Li Wanting said, suddenly changing
Gotta get excited.
Li Wanting was excited, and Ning Xiaofan suddenly heard something. He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Li Wanting noticed Ning Xiaofan's expression and asked slightly strangely: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
"No, I was thinking, is that mutant monitor lizard so big? Where does its food come from?"
It's okay if Ning Xiaofan didn't say anything. When he said this, Li Wanting was startled at first, then her pretty face turned pale, and her voice trembled: "No, the Komodo dragon is a carnivore, and its temperament is quite ferocious. Even
The same species will also be eaten, let alone other creatures. If the first one is found here, there will definitely be a second one. No, we have to leave this area as soon as possible..."
As the saying goes, good things don't work, bad things work. As soon as Li Wanting finished speaking, there was a faint roar of beasts in the distance.
Ouch ouch——
The sound sounded similar to the roar of the giant lizard that was killed in the explosion.
Although the roar was far away, everyone present heard it. Everyone who had been sitting on the ground to rest stood up immediately, with nervous expressions on their faces. Professor Zhao and others who were surrounding the luminous plants also looked up at the place where the roar came from.
Professor Zhao's expression also changed drastically at this moment, and he murmured uncontrollably: "Komodo, it's Komodo..."
Ouch——
There was another beast's roar, and the roar seemed to be closer. With the beast's roar, the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Ning Xiaofan's position was on a higher ground, and he looked towards the place where the beast roared. He saw a glowing forest in the distance shaking violently, as if some huge creature was crushing from the forest, and that
The violently swaying woods were sweeping towards this side like waves.
"The monster is coming, run!" Ning Xiaofan quickly shouted a warning, then grabbed Li Wanting's arm and ran away.
When the fat man and others heard this, they didn't dare to stay where they were. They all opened their legs and ran away like frightened rabbits. Even Professor Zhao and others who were slightly slow to react also fled in panic.
Bang Chi, Bang Chi...
Everyone ran wildly, and no one knew how far they had escaped. It was only when their legs were as heavy as lead and they were out of breath that they gradually slowed down.
Fortunately, the roar of the beast in the distance stopped and everyone was able to stop and take a breath.
Ning Xiaofan was the first to run away this time, but when he arrived, he still fell behind. Although pulling Li Wanting affected his speed somewhat, he was overtaken by Professor Zhao, who looked to be in his sixties.
He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood...
