Liu Shiba's words scared everyone to death...
In fact, which one of the characters who can come here is not bold?
However, by coincidence, the right time, right place, and right people, in such a dark underground cave, they encountered something incomprehensible, and it was not surprising that everyone was frightened...
"Forget it, I'm just talking nonsense! Let's go along the river and look..."
Liu Shiba also knew that he said something he shouldn't have said, so he rubbed his head and said embarrassedly.
At the moment, Lu Xiaolin and Ning Min'er stayed where they were. The eight of them turned on their miner's lamps to shine on the river, and immediately moved forward slowly to search.
Although everyone was still a little frightened, they had stepped up their vigilance to prevent any further accidents from happening.
Zhu Yingtai walked at the front, Liu Shiba walked at the end, and Cao Xiong and others walked in the middle.
The silver-white river surface was clearly illuminated by the miner's lamp, and the strange river water glowed with silver light, even the miner's lamp couldn't see the bottom.
"Ouch!"
Lao Hei suddenly shouted...
Just when Liu Shiba was trembling with fear, he suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle. A cold and biting hand grabbed his ankle and pulled Liu Shiba into the water.
The silver lake was bottomless, and Liu Shiba had had the experience of choking on water, so after being pulled, although he was frightened, he quickly closed his mouth to prevent the lake water from pouring in.
He grabbed a few handfuls in the water with both hands as if he had caught something. Liu Shibakong looked down in fear and saw a silver humanoid creature on the left side, grabbing his ankle.
This creature couldn't see its appearance clearly, but it was so strong that it pinched Liu Shiba's ankles painfully.
"What a shame!"
Liu Shiba roared angrily, waking up the people walking in front. Luo Zhan turned around and stretched out his hand, grabbing Liu Shiba's collar...
Soon, Liu Shiba came to his senses and felt a pain in his feet. He suddenly pulled out the black spur from his waist and stabbed the monster fiercely.
"Pfft!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shiba felt that the military thorn was blocked and felt it pierce the body of the silver monster.
The other party was shocked and finally let go of his hand. A bright red liquid rippled on the silver water surface, looking extremely strange.
Liu Shiba quickly kicked a few times and climbed up to the edge of the river. Luo Zhan, Zhu Yingtai and others looked at the water nervously.
Seeing that Liu Shiba was fine, everyone quickly gathered around, and Cao Xiong asked solemnly:
"Can you see what it is?"
Liu Shiba shook his head, raised one foot and rolled up his trouser leg to take a look, only to see four black and blue fingerprints on his ankle!
"This monster is targeting us. We must kill it, otherwise something will happen!"
He frowned, gasped and smiled bitterly!
"Look for it quickly. It was stabbed by Shiba and there is blood. You can follow the blood stains on the water to find it."
Elian Hu turned on the miner's lamp and illuminated the silver river surface, suggesting!
Following the occasional red blood foam floating on the river, Liu Shiba and others followed all the way.
Finally, the blood on the silver river gradually thickened, and the target suddenly disappeared after following a bend in the river. There were three small bridges away from this place, at most a few hundred meters away...
Zhu Yingtai grinned with a black tooth and said:
"Where have you gone? Missed?"
"Look around the corner. For the creek, there should be a place to buffer the backflow."
Hearing this, the eight people each held weapons and surrounded him on three sides!
Do you expect that the monster will have to come out this time?
But the eight people searched for a long time at the small river bend at the corner, but still found nothing.
Cao Xiong said strangely:
"Is this guy really a monster?"
Liu Shiba shook his head, looked around, and suddenly looked at the old man with wide eyes:
"Look at Lao Hei, where is he looking?"
Looking for Liu Shiba's fingers, Luo Zhan and Cao Xiong saw Lao Hei's ears perked up and roaring lowly in one direction...
In the darkness about five or six meters away from the bank of the creek, there is a slightly raised mound, like a small grave mound.
Only Lao Hei, with his sharp eyes and keen sense of smell, could smell a faint trace of blood on the ground.
Liu Shiba winked, and the eight people continued to slowly surround him on three sides.
Shining the miner's lamp on it, Liu Shiba saw clearly the true appearance of this raised mound. It was larger than ordinary grave mounds. It seemed that the bottom was piled with stones and covered with a thin layer of soil.
There were actually some bones of small animals around the protrusion, which surprised Liu Shiba.
These bones?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The Blue-Eyed Rat King followed behind Lao Hei and barked several times strangely.
"These are the bones of a man-eating rat!"
Liu Shiba turned back and glanced at Biyan, and said calmly.
"Zo! Is this guy really a carnivore?"
Zheng Weida cursed.
Liu Shiba held the military thorn tightly, and Ai Lianhu held the engineer shovel, slowly climbed up the grave mound, and then motioned to Cao Xiong to shine it with a miner's lamp.
Cao Xiong adjusted the brightness of the miner's lamp on his hat to be brighter, used an engineering shovel to push aside the sparse thin layer of soil on the grave, and shined a light inside.
"Fuck!"
Suddenly, Allen Hu let out a low scream, then turned over and jumped down, as if he saw something terrible.
Liu Shibayi stretched out his hand to support Allen Hu, secretly thinking that something that could scare even a bandit must be extraordinary.
Holding the military thorn in his right hand, Liu Shiba gently looked into the tomb, but he was surprised!
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, it turned out that there was a damp cave inside the tomb, with seven or eight large and small white-haired humanoid creatures inside.
These white humanoid creatures are all bald, with sparse and long white hair growing on their foreheads.
Two eyeballs so white that they are so white that they appear on the monster's wrinkled, shriveled face. There are actually two fangs in the big mouth on its small head!
One of the creatures touched the wound on his shoulder with one hand, and red liquid flowed from the wound.
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, the eyes of these creatures reflected a faint light, like ferocious beasts, but strangely, without any movement...
Liu Shiba quickly stood up and exhaled softly.
Cao Xiong asked hurriedly:
"What the hell?"
Liu Shiba said strangely:
"A monster like a white monkey."
Zhu Yingtai said with a smile:
"What the little master means is that these monsters are no longer ghosts."
Liu Shiba nodded and said:
"Take a grenade and throw it in and kill all these monsters!"
Zheng Weida, who carried two old-fashioned fragmentation grenades found in the base above, was about to take action after hearing this.
Cao Xiong was anxious when he heard this, held Zheng Weida down and said:
"Don't worry, let me take a look and then talk."
Liu Shiba said strangely:
"If you don't do anything else, blow them up!"
Cao Xiong solemnly said:
"We have no enmity with these creatures, so let's not kill them yet! Let's first see what kind of monster they are."
Liu Shiba almost burst out laughing, pointed at Cao Xiong and said:
"A woman's kindness almost killed me just now, and you still say that there is no injustice or enmity?"
Cao Xiong frowned, spread his hands and said:
"It's not that serious, right? I think they are just joking with you.
Think about it, they are so powerful underwater. I don’t think it would be difficult to harm you. How can they allow you to use military thorns?
Furthermore, look at their food, which is just the bones of some man-eating rats, not human bones, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiba felt it made sense and signaled Zheng Weida to put away the grenade!
Two old men, Cao Xiong and Ai Lianhu, lay at the entrance of the cave to study!
A few minutes later, Ning Miner and Lu Xiaolin also ran over!
At this time, Allen Hu straightened up, looked at Liu Shiba strangely and said:
"These white monsters should be the water monkeys in Chinese folklore. People call them He Bo or water ghosts..."
Tian Mingjian suddenly interrupted and said curiously:
"He Bo? Are you kidding me? Do you believe in this kind of feudal superstition?"
Tian Mingjian’s words made everyone happy!
Ning Miner smiled sweetly and said:
"The legendary water ghost He Bo has appeared many times in some ancient Chinese documents, but there is no strong evidence and it is only recorded in historical records.
When I was studying abroad, I once saw such a topic. The Hebo mentioned by the Chinese people may be a branch of human beings, but I can't be sure..."
Tian Mingjian grinned and said:
"Miss Min'er, what other branches do we humans have? Isn't it just men and women? Or intersex people like Zhu Yingtai, what else are there?"
Zhu Yingtai's face twisted when she heard this, and she slapped Tian Mingjian's penis with a shovel...
Everyone laughed when they saw this!
Ning Miner then explained:
"Humans are primates, but they are not the only ones on earth.
Human ancestors may also have derived other species, such as monkeys, orangutans and other animals that are very close to humans.
In addition, humans may not be the first intelligent animals on the earth. The evolutionary history of human ancestors on the earth is not long, while the evolution of dinosaurs took hundreds of millions of years.
There is evidence that a branch of dinosaurs may have been intelligent higher beings at that time, and their evolutionary history was far superior to that of current humans.
Therefore, this Hebo may be a branch of our ancient humans...
Of course, these statements are still at the stage of hypotheses, and definite evidence is needed to prove the genetic relationship."
Liu Shiba smiled and said:
"Is it true that in the world, only China has Hebo or water ghosts?"
Ning Miner said helplessly:
"It's hard to say. Maybe it was fabricated by our ancestors. There are so many strange things recorded in Chinese history books..."
Cao Xiong interrupted at this time:
"Anyway, China has had the saying of He Bo since ancient times. For example, this kind of thing was recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
In fact, not only China, but also South Asian countries such as Japan, also have historical records of Hebo.
There are even biological specimens of Hebo in Japan, but I have never seen the exact ones.
According to the Japanese, things like He Bo are very powerful in the water, but their power is only useful in the water!
If he were on the shore, He Bo would not be so strong, of course this is just a legend."
But at this time, Liu Shiba was not thinking of these, but other things!
A glint flashed in his eyes, and Liu Shiba said strangely:
"But at least, these Hebo guys have made up for their mistakes. At least I discovered one thing..."
Cao Xiong and Ailian Hu said strangely:
"What?"
"From here, you can cross the silver river. We don't have to step on the three white marble bridges, right?"
Liu Shiba smiled lightly!
