Chapter 1417: The Otherworld (132)

All the members of the Black Mamba Escort were assigned tasks, Pang Xiaonan and Lewis were responsible for removing the meat from the spider's legs, and some people were sent to find firewood, and of course, there were also people who were responsible for guarding, although the big spider was dead, but in this dangerous jungle, I don't know what other creatures will appear.

Pang Xiaonan and Lewis took short knives and came to the smallest giant spider first, this unlucky child, as soon as he appeared, he was beaten into a sieve by the fire of the Black Mamba Guard.

The legs of this giant spider were about as thick as mature bamboo, and Pang Xiaonan and Lewis each cut open one leg and began to dig out the flesh inside.

Lewis asked Pang Xiaonan while digging meat: "Every time you fight with monsters, why are you not afraid at all, I see that you are the first to rush up every time." ”

To be honest, Lewis is a little frightened, although he is fearless in the ring, but in this mysterious nature, he sees these monsters of all kinds, and always thinks about how to dodge first.

"Haven't you heard a word?" Pang Xiaonan took out a large bundle of meat and put it on the grass, "The best defense is to attack, if I don't rush up to fight it, it will find a way to hit me, this is the battlefield where you die and I die, these beasts won't want to spare my life, so I can only fight to kill them." ”

"I really admire you," Lewis watched Pang Xiaonan fight the dragon in the sea and fight all kinds of monsters in the jungle, and respected him, "I will definitely rush out with you next time." ”

"This is my instinctive reaction," Pang Xiaonan continued to dig into the flesh of the spider's legs, and the spider meat was really similar to the shape of crab meat, "You don't need to be reluctant, just protect the people around you." ”

"I'm ashamed that I didn't even protect myself. "When the giant spider rushed into the Black Mamba Guard, Lewis, like everyone else, was thrown out by the front feet of the giant spider, although he was not injured by his strong martial arts, but he did not have the opportunity and ability to fight with the giant spider, and several times he wanted to jump on the body of the giant spider, but he was blocked by several long legs of the giant spider.

"This fight, sometimes it depends on a bit of luck," Pang Xiaonan didn't doubt Lewis's attitude, but he knew that Lewis might indeed be a little weak in terms of strength, "In this way, next time, if you follow me, I guarantee that you will have a good time, as long as you are not afraid of death." ”

Pang Xiaonan's words of encouragement sounded in Li Weisi's ears, making his blood boil, "Okay, listen to you, I'll rush out with you next time." When I came here, I had already put life and death out of the way, and I couldn't save my life even if I was afraid of death. ”

Watching Pang Xiaonan and them take the spider meat out of the spider's legs, the members of the scientific expedition team looked at the ups and downs, just now these giant spiders were still thinking about their lives, but now it has become their meal, and the meat looks red and white, smooth and tender, very delicious.

"Eh, do you think the body of this big spider can be eaten?" The flesh in the spider's legs was basically pulled out, and Lewis cared about the body of the giant spider.

"Theoretically, it's edible," Pang Xiaonan remembered the rumors that Totekchaski said about fried big spiders, isn't it just the body that eats, "but now we have enough meat to eat, and the meat on the body is also troublesome, so let's put it first." ”

A spider has eight legs, one leg is the thickness of a big tree, and the meat taken out of it is more than a dozen catties, and one person can't eat it, and three spiders are twenty-four legs, and the scientific expedition team and the Black Mamba Escort Team are now only fifteen people in total, and it is enough to eat two meals.

Pang Xiaonan picked out a small piece of spider meat with periosteum from the inside of one leg and brought it to Oda Lima, "Professor Oda Rima, please test it, is there anything wrong with this meat." ”

Rita Lima took out the device from her backpack and began to carefully examine the delicious-looking spider meat, muttering, "I hope there is no problem." ”

Pang Xiaonan and Lewis collected the spider meat together, and the Black Mamba guards who went out to look for firewood also returned, the climate in this tropical jungle is humid, it is really not easy to find some dry firewood, and a lot of firewood they found is still a little damp, but I am afraid that it is not so easy to light.

Bucton Lin looked at the bundles of firewood, frowned, and ordered: "You put all the firewood in the sun and dry it for a while." ”

Although the sun is about to set, the afterglow of the setting sun is still very powerful, after all, this is the tropical sun, which can evaporate a lot of water.

The results of Oda Lima's analysis also came out, and she ran to Pang Xiaonan in a hurry: "It's not poisonous, you can eat it!"

It turns out that the crowd of people who have no meat and no joy is everywhere.

The sun was receding, the night was slowly rising, and the Black Mamba Guardian was setting up a bonfire to roast spider meat.

Pang Xiaonan and Lewis found branches more than one meter long, threaded the spider meat on them, and then roasted the branches wearing spider meat on the bonfire.

The spider meat was glowing with golden light, and a faint smell of meat spread in the air, and everyone couldn't help but swallow when they smelled it. Although these people haven't eaten meat for a few days, they now really experience the feeling of not seeing each other for a day, and the fireworks in the world are nostalgic.

Seeing that the spider meat was almost roasted to the point of being burnt, Pang Xiaonan withdrew the branch, tore off a piece of meat at the temperature of his hot hands, and then put it in his mouth and chewed, "Well, yes, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, the elasticity is moderate, tender and refreshing, sweet and fragrant, if only there was a little more dipping sauce." ”

Pang Xiaonan handed the branch to Xiao Tian Lima beside him, this comrade had been sitting beside him for a long time, and there was a green light in his eyes, "Professor Xiao Tian Lima, you eat first, be careful of scalding." ”

Oda Rima took the branch and couldn't wait to put her mouth on top of the spider meat, "Ah...... Scald, hot!" she forgot Pang Xiaonan's warning, and her lips were hot.

So she had to switch to tearing by hand and slowly enjoy this delicious spider meal.

"Slow down, give it to the others, too. ”

Pang Xiaonan picked up another branch and continued to roast his spider meat, and sometimes, watching the meat sizzle there was more enjoyable than eating it in the stomach.

Why is it that the chefs in the kitchen are full without eating, because they are beautiful and delicious, they are full of food, and they are full of smell, plus the aroma, they smell and smell full, so they are full without eating.

After a long wait, everyone was given the spider meat, and they all lowered their heads and silently enjoyed the delicious game. After eating for a long time, everyone is very full and full, and they can't eat anymore, an adult, if you can eat a pound of meat at a meal, you will be tired, and no matter how delicious things are, you can also have subordinates.

There was still a pile of unroasted spider meat on the ground, and Pang Xiaonan said to Buctonlin: "Captain, what do you think about the rest of the spider meat, I mean, don't waste it." ”

"You mean, keep roasting?" said Buctonlin, frowning, holding a twig with unfinished roast on it, "but no one can eat it." ”

Bucton Lin looked around, and there were teammates lying here with round bellies.

"No, we don't eat it now, when it's night, or if it's not morning, whoever wants to eat it will roast it," Pang Xiaonan's appetite is very large, he can not eat it, or he can eat a lot, he has already eaten the roasted spider meat of a branch, "We can't take this thing away, we can only put it in our stomachs." ”

"Well, let's do it. Bucton Lin found an open place next to Pang Xiaonan and sat down, looking at the roaring bonfire, "But our biggest problem now is the lack of water, so far, we have not replenished fresh water, and many people's water bottles are empty." ”

"Let's drink some dew tomorrow morning," Pang Xiaonan leaned back and fell on the grass, looking at the stars looming in the sky, "After we get on the road, our primary goal is to find fresh water." ”

"Then let's rest in batches early, get a good night's sleep, and get up and hit the road tomorrow. Buktonlin looked at the team members around him and began to count, "Now a few people have died in our escort team, leaving you and me, Buenosky, Dawo Khan Khan, Lewis, Wu Yongqiang, Wu Zhen, Nandegrad, fortunately, only 2 died, and there are 8 left, and we are on duty in two batches." ”

"I'll keep watch for the middle of the night, captain, you were injured by a big spider, rest early and recover. "Although Bucton Lin had no obvious injuries, he was hit to the ground by the forefeet of the big spider, and he was more or less traumatized, but he couldn't see it.

"Okay, I'll assign it, you take Buenoski, Dawo Khan Khan and Wu Yongqiang to stay in the first half of the night, and I'll take others to keep the second half of the night......" Buktonlin got up and went to find the other team members to arrange it.

The night is getting darker, the stars light up the night sky, the night light is also extraordinarily bright, more than a dozen people from the Black Mamba Escort Team and the scientific expedition team are gathered around the bonfire, one is that the night is a little cool, and the other is that the fire can attract mosquitoes and protect people from mosquito bites.

Bucton Lin simply arranged the formation, the Black Mamba Escort Team slept on the periphery, one person in each of the east, west, south, and north directions, and the scientific expedition team slept inside, which was convenient for the Black Mamba Escort to protect.

"Let's all rest early, we are tired during the day, and we don't know what danger awaits us tomorrow, it will take a lot of physical strength, don't talk if you can, don't interfere with others' sleep. ”

After Bucton Lin finished explaining, he lay down on the grass by himself, and fell asleep deeply, he was so tired, his body was not the most tired, and the whole day of distress and dealing with monsters consumed too much of his mental strength, and his mental strength was so emaciated that he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

The members of the scientific expedition team were also frightened too much during the day, and now they are full of food and drink, and they are around the bonfire to feel the heat wave, which is the so-called full warmth and drowsiness, everyone feels that the pajamas are coming, and the kimonos fall to the ground, and soon fall asleep, some people are snoring, and the snoring on the grass is more rhythmic than the chirping of insects.

Pang Xiaonan sat by the fire, staring at the beating flames, listening to the crackling sound of the fire, and feeling everyone's unbridled snoring, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, people are really a strange animal, they were scared to death a while ago, and after eating spider meat, they didn't remember that this was still an extremely dangerous place, and they could sleep peacefully.

But not everyone slept soundly, Rita Lima walked lightly to Pang Xiaonan's side and sat down.

"Why don't you sleep?" Pang Xiaonan admires this woman very much, not only is she knowledgeable, she can also play with guns, she also knows the teacher who protects her at critical moments, and she didn't forget to study all kinds of creatures on the way to escape, and now she is not sleepy.

"I can't sleep. Oda Rima looked up at the starry sky, "This ghost place is full of prehistoric monsters, I don't know if there will be other things of interest to sneak up on us at night." ”

"Even if a monster comes to sneak attack, that's our business, even if you stay here, it won't help, it's better to rest early. Pang Xiaonan knew that a person didn't rest well at night and during the day, and if there was a person in the team who couldn't walk in a trance, it would drag down the whole team, so he had to persuade Oda Rima to rest earlier.

"It's still early," Oda Rima looked at her watch, "It's only less than eight o'clock, you want me to rest, if it's you, can you sleep?"

"You are on vacation," Pang Xiaonan pointed to the scientific expedition team members lying on the ground in front of him, "Look at them, how fragrant they sleep, think about what we have experienced this day, an ordinary person is already tired, where is like you, and I still want to think about it, you don't sleep now, if you doze off during the day tomorrow, one will die if you are not careful." ”

Pang Xiaonan tried his best to make the consequences more serious, in order to persuade Oda Rima to go to bed early.

"After talking for a while, I really can't sleep. Xiao Tian Lima turned her head and looked at Pang Xiaonan tenderly, "I must go to bed before nine o'clock, okay." ”

"Hey, okay. Pang Xiaonan replied helplessly, and then walked to the bonfire and added a piece of firewood, he had to ensure that the bonfire was not extinguished, otherwise it would be troublesome to light it again, once the fire was extinguished, everyone here would be more dangerous, I don't know what kind of poisonous insects and beasts will attack, because there is fire, most of the poisonous insects and beasts still dare not approach.

"Tell me, why is your kung fu so good?" When Pang Xiaonan sat back in his original position, Rita Rima asked the question that everyone was curious about.

Pang Xiaonan smiled, women, the points of curiosity are the same, he had no choice, so he had to repeat the true lie that tried and tested: "When I was young, I went up the mountain to chop wood, and met an old man, the old man said, young man, I see that your bones are wonderful, and it is a good material for practicing martial arts, so let's do it, you come to the mountain every day, I will teach you some kung fu, and in the future, you can not only strengthen your body, but also defend yourself." The old man said that he was not easy to accept apprentices, but it was rare to see such a good seedling like me, and he didn't want my tuition, just let me pick some wild fruits and wild vegetables for him, I thought to myself that this is not a loss anyway, and there are many wild fruits and vegetables on the mountain, so I agreed, so I followed the old man to practice Sanfu in summer and winter to practice Sanjiu, so I had this body of kung fu. ”

"Have you ever chopped firewood?" Rita Rita's eyes widened, she had lived in a scholarly family since she was a child, where had she experienced life in the mountains, "Then you grew up in the mountains." ”

"When I was a child, my family was miserable," Pang Xiaonan told the truth this time, "Since I was a child, I had to help my family do things, chopping wood is just one of the jobs, and I have to boil water and cook, unlike you city people, who only need to read and have fun every day." ”

"Go, I speak as if I don't know the sufferings of the world. Xiao Tian Lima heard that Pang Xiaonan was scolding herself, "Although I haven't suffered these hardships, I sympathize with those children from the mountains, and I have also sponsored a few poor college students." ”

"Good job!" Pang Xiaonan gave a thumbs up to Rita Rima Oza "This is a good professor of the people, teaching and educating people, teaching not only knowledge, but also teaching students how to behave, you are a good example." ”

", I'll use you to teach me. With Pang Xiaonan, Oda Rima didn't know why she couldn't maintain a serious image of a professor, and she always wanted to scold him.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're a professor and I'm a student," Pang Xiaonan pretended to cover his mouth, "I don't speak, I can't say it." ”

Xiao Tian Lima pulled down Pang Xiaonan's hand, "Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, let me ask you, even if you learn martial arts from your master, you can't be so powerful without practice, just like we do research, you only have theoretical knowledge, you definitely can't play, and you have to practice often to do experiments or something." ”

Oda Rima questioned Pang Xiaonan's martial arts from an academic point of view, and her suspicions were reasonable, if she had only studied kung fu in the mountains for a few years and had not really fought against the enemy, Pang Xiaonan's force value would be somewhat untenable.

Not long ago, a boxer challenged Huaguo's martial arts grandmaster, and with just one punch, the so-called martial arts grandmaster was knocked to the ground, causing an uproar in Huaguo, and everyone questioned the true level of the martial arts master.

In fact, that martial arts master is really just a master of martial arts academics, that is, he studies academics, works behind closed doors, has never fought with others, lives in his own world, once he is pulled to the stage to play some real kung fu, it will be current all of a sudden, this is the result of only theory and no actual combat.

Pang Xiaonan smashed his mouth and said: "You are right, you really have to go through actual combat, in those many years, in addition to teaching me martial arts, the master also took me to fight monsters, such as jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain, so my martial arts are based on the theory of the kneaded into practical experience, theory guides practice, practice enriches theory, so that my martial arts can have today's situation." ”

Pang Xiaonan is quite confident in his ability to make up nonsense, and this answer can be said to be seamless.

"Have you ever fought with a tiger?" Xiao Tian Lima's eyes widened and stared at Pang Xiaonan in disbelief, "Do you know that tigers are protected animals, you won't kill tigers, right?"

Pang Xiaonan was just a casual answer, but it was exploited by Oda Lima, or a legal loophole, but Pang Xiaonan's reaction was fast enough.

"I've fought with tigers, but you don't have to die to fight, right?" Pang Xiaonan looked at the stars in the sky, and his thoughts began to fly in the sky. You also know, a mountain is just one or two tigers, a mountain does not allow two tigers, the tiger came to attack me, I tried my best to repel him, the body is also scarred, it saw that it could not beat me, so it turned around and left, as the king of beasts, it still has some wisdom, can not fight hard, and then it met me, I feel that my strength has improved, and come to fight with me, or can not beat me, just like that, we always meet in the mountain, meet a fight, its strength continues to improve, my martial arts continue to become stronger, we are complementary to each other, and then fight back and forth, we become friends, I have nothing to do with it to fight, after the fight, I rode it in the mountains and lived a life of a fox and a fake tiger......"

"Be friends with the tiger......" Xiao Tian Lima looked at Pang Xiaonan in disbelief, and then pouted, "You dishonest guy, what I said earlier is quite reasonable, but then it becomes more and more unreliable, the tiger's ass can't be touched, you can be friends with the tiger, you think of yourself as a god and go down to earth to find a mount." ”

"Eh, what you said is not right," Pang Xiaonan patiently corrected, "Who said that the tiger's butt can't be touched, don't you have a good relationship with the tiger without looking at the keepers in the zoo? ”

"Okay, just as you are an animal trainer, but we have met a guy who is much more powerful than a tiger, you explain it, why are you not afraid?" After coming to the Bross Circle, the scientific expedition team encountered all prehistoric monsters, which were more terrifying than jackals, tigers and leopards, but Pang Xiaonan did not hesitate, this is not like the style of just fighting with tigers.

"You don't understand this," Pang Xiaonan continued to use his imagination, "Once a person can be friends with a beast, then he has no fear of the beast, no matter how powerful the beast is, in his eyes it is just a puppy, nothing more than a little bigger, a little bigger teeth, the way of fighting is still the same, as long as you are not afraid of it, you can defeat it." ”

"Really?" Rita Rima knew that what Pang Xiaonan said could not be verified by science, but after all, he had no experience.

"Really, I don't believe you and the beast are trying to be friends. Pang Xiaonan threw out an impossible task.

"I don't want to!" Although Rita Yama is an expert in paleontology, she usually studies fossils or specimens and ancient books, and has no experience in dealing with real monsters, which is terrifying.

"Have you heard the story of Ye Gong Haolong?" Pang Xiaonan suddenly remembered an allusion.

"What is Ye Gong Haolong?" Hallelujah doesn't seem to have this legend.

"There is a story in ancient times, it is said that there was a nobleman named Ye Zigao in ancient times, he liked dragons very much, and dragons were carved on the belt hooks and wine vessels, and the carved decorations in the living room were also dragons. He loved the dragon so much, and after being known by the true dragon in the sky, he descended from the sky to Ye Gong's house, and the dragon's head was on the windowsill to visit, and the dragon's tail stretched out into the hall. When Ye Gong saw that it was a real dragon, he turned around and ran, so frightened that he seemed to have lost his soul, frightened, and couldn't control himself. From this point of view, Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons, he only likes things that look like dragons instead of dragons. Pang Xiaonan shook his head and quoted classics, which is very literary and artistic.

Strictly speaking, Rita Yama belongs to scientific research workers in science, so her literary literacy is slightly weaker, and she was stunned by Pang Xiaonan, and asked, "What is the truth of this story?"

The story of Ye Gong uses a very vivid metaphor to satirize the characters of Ye Fang, and profoundly exposes their bad thoughts and bad styles that only sing high-profile and are not practical. Through this story, we should discard the bad thinking and bad style of thinking that theory is divorced from reality, and establish a good idea and style of seeking truth from facts. At the same time, it also satirizes people who are not worthy of the name and are inconsistent. ”

Pang Xiaonan glanced at Xiao Tian Lima meaningfully.

"You're saying that I'm a paleontologist on the surface, but I'm afraid of paleontology?" Rita finally reacted, as a scientist, although she is not very good at borrowing ancient metaphors, she still has the wisdom to see through other people's sarcasm.

"No, no, where do you want to go. Pang Xiaonan waved his hand again and again, he had seen Oda Lima's methods, and now in the dead of night, it would not be good to make an unpleasant scene.

"Hmph, you stinky boy, you dare to teach me a lesson, don't forget, I'm a professor and you're a student!" Xiao Tian Lima really made a move, and she pinched a piece of meat on Pang Xiaonan's waist with lightning speed.

"Woo......" Pang Xiaonan snorted, frowning in pain, for fear of waking up everyone who was asleep.

"Okay, okay," Pang Xiaonan grabbed Xiao Tian Lima's small hand, "You've talked and talked, and you've made enough trouble, it's time to sleep, I also have to be vigilant, after all, this is New Bloss, beware of monsters coming to sneak attack......"

Oda Rima stared at Pang Xiaonan fiercely, and reluctantly took two steps towards the fire, and finally lay down on the grass, slowly fell asleep, and let out a small snoring sound, it turned out that the goddess could also snore, but it was not yet tired.

The world was finally quiet, except for the crackling sound of the firewood, everyone's cries were obviously weakened, and after the previous rest, it seemed that everyone's fatigue had disappeared a lot.

Because the four people on duty in the Black Mamba Escort are located in the four corners and are far apart, there is no way to chat together, which will wake up the sleeping people.

Pang Xiaonan glanced at the other three people, Wu Yongqiang was looking around with infrared night vision goggles, but he didn't look at the fire, Buenovsky was playing with his watch, calibrating the direction of the stars in the sky, Dawo Khan Khan was staring at the fire, and seemed to be dozing off.

Some unknown insects rushed into the fire, like moths to a fire, with a snapping sound, and were crushed in the fire, and gained eternity.

Pang Xiaonan slowly closed his eyes, he had to take advantage of this moment of silence to take a good breath of aura.

With the operation of his power, Pang Xiaonan felt that the aura in the jungle was very strong, like a completely undeveloped virgin island, full of all kinds of rich elements, and the purity of these elements made people feel refreshed, which was comparable to the foul air of Huahai City.

"Why is the aura on this island so strong, is it because no one has ever set foot here, according to that, this is really a treasure land for cultivation. Pang Xiaonan sighed in his heart, but the aura around him was constantly surging towards his body.

While inhaling the aura, Pang Xiaonan was also feeling the fluctuations of the aura around him, in case there was a big danger approaching.

However, there have been no major fluctuations around, but Pang Xiaonan vaguely feels that in this mysterious realm, there is always a pair of eyes staring at them, and these eyes are full of wisdom, but they always can't see the shape of the eyes clearly.

"Am I hallucinating?" Pang Xiaonan was a little uneasy, but soon he adjusted his state, calmed down, and continued to inhale the aura into his body in large strands to replenish some of the excessive energy consumed during the day.

Dawo Khan Khan, who was sitting opposite Pang Xiaonan, saw Pang Xiaonan meditating, and knew that he was turning on the radar to explore the surrounding movements, so he also relaxed, and finally lowered his eyelids and dozed off while sitting.

About an hour later, Pang Xiaonan was very happy to absorb the aura, and he felt a trace of the fluctuation of his aura.

It was someone in the array of scientific expedition members in front of him who got up, Pang Xiaonan slowly opened his eyes, and saw Professor Li Sanming get up from the ground and walk towards the periphery of the bonfire.

Pang Xiaonan hurriedly got up and asked in a low voice, "Professor, where are you going?"

"Hehe, I'll go and make it easier. Li Sanming turned to Pang Xiaonan and tiptoed towards Pang Xiaonan.

"Professor, it's dangerous outside, I'll go with you. Pang Xiaonan took Li Sanming's left hand and helped him to walk to the periphery.
