"Generally speaking, there are temples and Taoist temples in tourist attractions, because the tourist attractions have a large flow of tourists, which can bring more incense to the temples and Taoist temples.
Therefore, there is no exemption here. In addition to admiring the mountains and caves with special geology, there is also a temple called Xinglong Temple."
On the way, Zhou Shanshan continued to play her role as a tour guide, giving them a brief explanation.
Indeed, the geological structure of the mountains here is different from most of the earthen mountains and stone mountains on the Loess Plateau. The mountains here are in a semi-rocky state, and the rock walls were once washed by rivers, showing their unique shape and structure.
The three girls, Lin Qiaoni, were indeed here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. They were like elves, wandering here and there along the way. They looked very excited, and several other women in the team also became lively, and then became infected.
Apart from the others, even Luffy became inexplicably relaxed.
Along the way, Luffy also kept using his mental power to feel the situation of the zombies around him. He wanted to drive the zombies away so as not to disturb their interest in playing.
And under constant mental stimulation, he also discovered a problem. It seemed that since coming out of Longwan Village, the number of zombies nearby has become very small. After getting closer to Panlong Cave, the zombies have almost disappeared. There are no more zombies.
Zombies serve as carriers, and the range of his mental power is limited by distance.
However, although Luffy discovered this situation, he did not pay attention to it. There are many reasons why there are no zombies in a place.
It may be cleared by survivors, just like around the Dawn Base, and it will be difficult to see zombies anymore.
It is also possible that you were attracted by sounds from other places and left. Zombies will be attracted by sounds. This is an undoubted fact.
It may also be driven away or eaten by other evolved creatures. Some scavenging evolved creatures will also eat zombies, and even other evolved beasts that are extremely hungry will also eat zombies.
So this situation did not attract Luffy's attention at first.
There are no zombies or other evolved creatures, just various bones and remains on the ground along the way.
This kind of scene after the apocalypse is normal. There are corpses and body parts everywhere, so even if these dense bones and remains are different from the corpses in other places, they have not attracted everyone's attention.
In Panlong Cave, everyone stayed at Xinglong Temple for a while. The color of the Buddha statues in Xinglong Temple had not faded yet. They cleaned the temple and cleared away the bones in the temple. Everyone knelt down and prayed secretly.
Just like most people before the end of the world, when they encounter temples and Taoist temples, no matter whether they are useful or not, they will always throw in some incense coins and pray.
Leaving Panlong Cave, they continued deep into the stone forest.
Through Zhou Shanshan's introduction, they will enter the Dragon Valley.
Here is a canyon. The canyon is about twenty meters wide, with cliffs on both sides. Looking up, you can see various stone mountains of different sizes and strange shapes. These stone mountains form the stone forest, which is why the stone forest got its name.
In the canyon, there are more bones and remains, which means they are used to it in the apocalypse. Even if they crush a skull from time to time, they will not be afraid.
The bones all over the ground also indicate that there will be many tourists here when the apocalypse breaks out.
Gradually, they continued to go deeper. Zhou Shanshan looked at the time and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. The progress was not bad, because there were no crowds of people and delays in many projects, so their tour speed was faster than before the end.
Perhaps seeing Zhou Shanshan's actions, Lin Qiaoni asked casually, "How do we return?"
Zhou Shanshan joined temporarily in the morning, and many issues such as the route were not discussed in advance.
Zhou Shanshan said, "If nothing happens, we will soon get out of this canyon and then choose several means of transportation to return to Longwan Village downstream, such as taking a sheepskin raft, taking a sightseeing bus, etc."
"Crack!"
Bored Qiu Zhihu even picked up a skull and played with it, and soon he frowned.
"Big Chief, have you noticed something is wrong with these bones?"
"What's wrong?" Luffy asked. He was actually vaguely surprised that the team did not encounter zombies during their trip to the stone forest today. Now Qiu Zhihu's words immediately caught his attention.
Qiu Zhihu picked up a long bone and it looked like a human leg bone. He tilted his head and said, "I think these bones are too clean. Even if they are rotten and weathered, some human tissues are not so easy to rot and weather clean."
For example, hair. I once remembered that some people were buried for more than ten years, and their hair was still there when they were dug out. Also, what about these people’s clothes? In just over a year, it’s impossible for all their clothes to have weathered... Even so.
, then there must be remnants of weathering..."
His words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned to look at the bones at their feet. As Qiu Zhihu said, these bones were very clean, as clean as if there had never been any flesh on them.
"It's a bit weird. We have seen many corpses that rotted into bones before, but none of them were so clean!" Lin Qiaoni said.
"The tissue on these bones seems to have been shaved off." Ruan Sisi also expressed his opinion.
"It's fine if only one or two skeletons can be picked out so cleanly, but it seems like this has been the case since we entered Panlong Cave. These skeletons must have exceeded 10,000!" Xiao Xiaoling shook her head and said, "I
I think these bones were eaten like this by some kind of evolved creature! Just like cats, their tongues have barbs and can scrape the meat off the bones, but they can’t scrape it so cleanly!”
"Well, those cats you mentioned prefer biting rather than licking." Luffy possessed a skeleton and observed it, "The bones are not bitten or broken. They are not these evolved beasts."
"Big boss, is it possible that some kind of insect did this? Just like the evolutionary swarm we encountered before, those countless insects crawling on the body can definitely chew a person into bones."
At this time, Ruan Sisi suddenly remembered the swarm of bees she had encountered on the way to the New World and put forward her guess.
"Maybe it's ants..."
Attracted by the sound, everyone turned around and saw that a Dawn warrior had taken off his gloves, holding an ant the size of a little finger between the index finger and thumb of one hand. Under their gaze, he placed it on the other hand.
in the palm of your hand.
This is indeed an ant, but it is several times larger than before the doomsday. At this size, they can clearly see the various structures of the ant's body. The thin but powerful legs are powerful.
Its jaws occupy almost two-thirds of its head, and a pair of tentacles are constantly shaking and exploring.
Suddenly, the ant opened its jaws and bit into the Dawn Warrior's palm.
"ah!"
The soldier let out a scream and instinctively slapped the ant to death in the palm of his hand.
When he opened his palm again, he found that it had been bitten. Although the wound was not deep and no blood flowed out, this little bit of skin had been bitten off by the ant just now and was held in his mouth, so he could not be beaten to death.
, it must have been swallowed.
In an instant, an insect appeared in everyone's mind, a frightening insect.
