Then he changed the subject and continued: "Armyworms are not afraid of light, and there is almost no difference between this place and the previous one. The only explanation is that it is in the air. The air here must contain different substances from the previous one. It can
They killed the armyworms, so much so that even though there was only a thin line between them, the armyworms did not dare to cross the thunder pool even half a step." As he spoke, he pointed with his hand in the direction in which we were running.
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that a large number of armyworms had gathered at the watershed. They were piled one on top of the other, forming a pile half as high as a person, like a wall of insects.
Generally speaking, it squirms constantly and is extremely scary.
Through the light here, I can also see the true appearance of those armyworms. They are as big as the mouth of a cup, gray in color, and have three tentacle-like limbs. There is mucus on the tentacles and on the surface of the body. The body can stretch and contract.
, or bulging like a small ball, or as thin as tissue paper. What's even more strange is that this thing has no eyes at all, only two white spots in the middle of the body.
Professor Guo continued: "The substances contained in the air must decompose or evaporate to an extent that is invisible to our naked eyes before they can float with the air. This means that there must be enough nearby to make armyworms
The deadly original object."
"And this armyworm is actually an ancient soft-bodied insect that has long been extinct on the ground due to changes in the earth's crust. According to the book, this thing has a flexible body that can deform with the force of extrusion, so it is not afraid of knives and axes.
It has great power, but it is extremely afraid of mercury. A drop of mercury can kill dozens of armyworms."
"This reminds me of something. When expert Zhao interpreted the Dongba script on the stone pagoda, he said that Cangxiao and others passed through a lake with a dark white luster before entering this passage.
It cannot be drunk. A warrior just took a sip and died holding his stomach."
"What is like water? It has a dark white luster? And it can't be drunk? After much thought, there is only mercury. Mercury is also called mercury. It is a silver-white liquid metal with a very low melting point. At normal temperature, it
It can form a liquid state and evaporate in small amounts."
"But the density of this thing is very high. In ancient times, there was the torture of skinning, which is to bury a person in the ground, expose the shoulders, cut a hole in the head, and pour mercury. The mercury will quickly separate the connection between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue.
, when a person is in pain, he will twist, and the more he twists, the faster the skin will fall off, and in the end, the whole skin will fall off completely. If a person has no skin, he will suffer to death, which is very cruel."
"Of course you can't drink such a high-density thing, but Cang Xiao and others lived in the tribal era. How could they know this? No matter how much the warrior drank, one sip would break his stomach and intestines. Naturally, he would be extremely painful.
He rolled over and died."
"It is precisely because of these characteristics of mercury that we have created such a special geographical environment. Mercury can evaporate, and the air will naturally contain mercury, and mercury is the natural enemy of armyworms, although these armyworms are invisible here.
I don’t know how many years it has been under the sun, and even the eyes have degenerated into white spots, but they will still die if they encounter a little bit of mercury."
Wang Xiaohu's palms had also been worn to a large extent, and even the skin on his arms was scratched, and bright red blood came out. After hearing Professor Guo's words, he shouted anxiously: "You mean to cross this road?"
There is mercury in the channel? So what are you waiting for?”
