Chapter 44 The Key to the Problem(2/2)
The tank obediently went to pick up people, so we first started to check the water quality nearby. We didn't need to taste this section of water, and we could smell a distinct odor with our nose. It seemed that the source of poison was very strong, but we still didn't find anything until the tank picked up everyone. After all, there were too few people and it was very slow to search.
The new arrivals helped search much faster, and soon someone found the problem. "Captain!"
"What's the matter?" asked Captain Samurai.
"You'd better come and see here."
We gathered there together, and the warrior pointed to the ground next to me. I looked at it and didn't notice anything at first. After careful look, I found that there was a large ball of gel-like things stuck to a plant on the ground. The plant had completely died. It seemed that it had not been long, otherwise the leaves would have fallen.
Wentian wanted to touch him with his hands and was pulled by me. I took a long garbage whiteboard sword and stabbed it a little with the tip of the sword, but it immediately started to smoke from the sword. Wentian was shocked and thought to himself that he was lucky that he didn't touch it.
Although the tip of the sword was smoked, it did not soften. It seemed that this was not a strong sour. A warrior sniffed and said, "This smell looks like that toxin!"
After he said this, the warriors around him said that it was indeed the smell, which means that this thing was a toxin. But we don’t know what to produce the toxin, but we still can’t solve the problem!
Rose looked at the toxin and said to me: "This should be left by some animal, it dripped from above the plant, and the plant showed that it was killed by the toxin."
Wentian looked at the plant and said, "It's not small in size to this height!" The plant was 60 cm tall. If the creature didn't spray the toxin on purpose, it means that the guy wouldn't be too small.
"This is also there." A warrior over there shouted, and we hurried over.
This time it was even more scary. A large drop of crystal clear venom gel hung on the leaves more than two meters above the ground. The whole half of the branch of the big tree was withered and yellow. Rose looked at it and said, "It seems that the analysis was wrong. This thing is not big, it can climb trees!"
"If you can climb trees, you will definitely leave claw marks on the trees. Please look for it."
A large group of people immediately began to look around the surrounding tree trunks. Suddenly, I looked back in one direction like a nervous allergy, stared at the other side for a long time without seeing anything. I looked back with a puzzled mood and continued to look for claw marks, but I still recalled the reaction I just now. I clearly felt a feeling of being peeped, and it was particularly cold, as if there was a cold air coming from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. What exactly gave me this feeling?
"Here." A warrior finally found the claw marks.
I ran over to look at the claw mark. The mark was very strange. Two deep cuts appeared on both sides of the big tree. Generally speaking, animals would leave claw marks parallel to each other when climbing trees, but why is this single? And two traces appeared on both sides. These two traces were more than one meter and two points above the ground, and they were horizontal. The cut was like a knife cut.
This incision shows many problems. The horizontal incision shows that the creature either wanted to climb a tree or down at that time, it was just squatting on the tree. What creature can fix itself horizontally on the tree?
Rose looked at it for a long time and said, "I don't think it's right. No matter what this creature is, it shouldn't leave such claw marks. It can't stay at all at this angle. Besides, there will be no creature that only uses two toes to climb a tree!"
"What would this be?"
"There are claw marks here, too." A warrior shouted.
“There are also here.”
“There are so many here.”
Everyone suddenly discovered many claw marks, and almost all of them were spread out in the direction extending deep into the forest. The height of these marks was about one meter and two, which made us even more strange. What creatures would always jump around at such a high position?
"Are these not the claw marks left by climbing trees?" Wentian boldly guessed: "Maybe this is a sign, just like animals leaving their own scent information everywhere to mark the territory. This guy likes to draw bar marks on the trees?"
"Under normal circumstances, it's not very likely?" Rose touched the traces on the tree: "These marks are two or three inches deep, so you don't need to cut them so deep. There must be a load at that time, so such a deep trace was left."
I looked at the traces again. "Is there a problem with the distance between these traces? Judging from the depth of the incision, the load bearing was no less than one ton at that time. Such a heavy biological body should be quite large. But look at it, almost every tree on this animal path has traces, and there are traces on both sides of the road. Could this thing like to take the zigzag route, right?"
"This is not right, that is not right. What is this?" Wentian squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and worried.
I suddenly turned around and saw a black shadow swaying between the two trees and disappeared. "Don't run." I shouted and rushed forward. Two and a half months behind me automatically left my body and chased me. Wentian and the others saw me running and chased me.
I rushed to the place where the black shadow I just saw was, searching around, and saw something that seemed to be a tail flashed and disappeared. I quickly chased after it, but after chasing it to that position, there was no trace. Half Moon suddenly cut off a tree in the waist, and a dark red thing appeared behind it, but it moved as fast as lightning and disappeared again. Two and a half Moon quickly caught up with it.
A sudden shock was made in front of the thing, and the tank landed from the air to the front of the thing, waving its sickle-like forearm and cutting off a big tree, but the guy turned around and turned a corner and disappeared. This thing moved too fast and was particularly adapted to running around between the trees.
"Over there." I reached out and pointed, and one and a half months suddenly turned around and stopped the monster. The thing turned around and wanted to run, but another half month passed and intercepted it again. When it turned again, the tank had blocked the other side. The four directions of the monster were blocked by me, the tank and two and a half months respectively. This time, it depends on how you run.
