Savage Secret

() There are many types and numbers of bats in the world. It can be said that they are distributed everywhere in the wall crevices of old-fashioned houses, woods, caves, and even inside bamboo. However, there is only one species that can use its hind legs to stand up, run and jump. , it is a vampire bat.

Vampire bats are the bats with the most obvious animal characteristics, which depends on their cunning living habits for thousands of years. When vampire bats suck the blood of humans or animals, in order not to frighten their prey, they usually stay very far away from their prey. It lands far away, slowly or runs or jumps up to the prey, and cuts a wound on the prey with its blade-like fangs. At this time, the blood of the prey will continuously flow out from the wound for it to suck .

Strangely, during this seemingly painful process, the prey is usually unconscious. Scientists suspect that there is a neurotoxin in the body of the vampire bat that paralyzes the prey, allowing its prey to feel no pain. It has been confirmed that when the vampire bat cuts open the skin of the prey, it not only injects neurotoxins into the prey, but also injects something called an anticoagulant into the prey.

When a human or animal's wound bleeds, the platelets in the blood will promote the blood to slowly coagulate and scab, thereby repairing the wound. The anticoagulant injected into the prey by vampire bats is exactly the nemesis of platelets. It contains ingredients that destroy platelets and prevent Platelets clot and allow blood to flow faster.

Vampire bats are mainly distributed in central and southern America. According to local legends, they were transformed by evil wizards or escaped from hell!They don't eat anything other than fresh blood, they are blood-sucking devils to the letter!They look for food in groups after dark. There are dozens of people who die under the mouths of vampire bats every year. Animals, chickens and dogs cannot be counted. Before these people or animals died, there were other people. Complications such as the emergence of rabies, there is no doubt that vampire bats also transmit viruses while sucking the blood of humans and animals.

The life of a vampire bat is about 12 years. During the 12 years, it must suck at least one hundred liters of fresh blood to maintain its basic life. However, the blood of a normal adult is only four or five liters!

Those vampire bats in America are only the size of a fist, and they can kill people. The red bat king in the cave is as weird and strong as a hill. Drinking blood is not the same as drinking water!

Before the Vampire Bat King could stand still, Lao Niu raised his gun and hit its legs. After being shot in the vampire bat's leg, its body tilted and almost fell. We turned around and ran away.In desperation, he didn't care about any direction, he only knew that the farther away from it the better.The voice of the vampire bat king behind him was piercing like a ghost, adding a bit of death to the dark cave.

Several people ran hard for a while, no one was relaxed, and it didn't take long before they were tired and out of breath, feeling hungry and sleepy. Thinking about it carefully, since they fell into this hole, they have no concept of time, and they don't know the past. How long has it been, anyway, I have been startled and frightened all the time, and I haven't eaten much yet, thinking about it is simply a torment.

I turned around and took a flashlight to shine on the back. I saw that the Bat King did not catch up, and there was no movement. I don’t know if it is because it has been dormant for too long and it is difficult to recover in the short term, or because it was really injured by us and can no longer be chased. Just stop Lao Niu and let him rest before leaving.Li Yongsheng worried: "We'd better run out and rest again, what if the Bat King flies again?" I thought it was easy for you to fucking say it, you only carried the salute of two people, and I carried a person who weighed more than a hundred catties , The words came to his mouth and he said again: "The wings of the Bat King have been scratched by the old cow with a knife, and it is unlikely that they will fly again in a short time. Since it did not catch up so quickly, it must be in our hands. I have some scruples about my gun, so it's okay for us to take a break!"

The old cow seemed to have thought of something, and asked doubtfully, "How far do you think the echolocation of bats can detect?"

Li Yongsheng was also interested in this question. He turned his eyes to me, and I said in a daze, "I don't know about this. I'm not a bat, nor am I a bat researcher!" But I thought that ultrasonic waves can only travel in a straight line, so I asked them Said: "Ultrasound has penetrating power, but there are always times when it can't pass through. It should be relatively safe for us to run into the stalagmites of the cave! Also, unlike ordinary bats, vampire bats only use ultrasonic waves to sense prey. They Like a snake, it also has a super heat-sensing ability! Everyone, be careful!" After saying this, I smiled wryly, facing this kind of monster, we cannot solve the problem by being careful.

The creativity of the Creator is really amazing. Many animals are equipped with special skills, which allow them to easily find and clean up their prey without the hard work of looking for them like ligers and other large beasts.Spiders can crawl leisurely on their own webs and wait for prey to throw themselves into the net. Electric eels can kill prey by releasing high-voltage electricity instantly. The snake's eyes are not very easy to use, but there is a heat-sensitive cheek fossa above its nostrils. , this cheek pit can allow it to sense the heat energy emitted by nearby animals, image it in its brain, and judge whether that object is its prey. The most outstanding of these is the rattlesnake, which can capture a certain distance around within one percent of the temperature change.Because of the special requirements for food, vampire bats also have a heat-sensing skill, which allows them to accurately judge the location of their prey in the dark night, so as to hunt and kill the prey most effectively!

Now I finally know why those bats crawling out of the mouth of the mummy hang on the roof of the cave. The fire we set must have interfered with their thermal sensing ability, making them unable to make a correct judgment on our position. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will be sucked dry by them before we get close to the cave where the Lingxi staff is hidden!

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the vampire bat, he saw the old cow shining a flashlight on the surroundings and said, "Did you pay attention to the way? Why did I feel that when I came in, I didn't walk in the stalagmite for a long time before I entered the cave. But now I ran away." We haven’t seen those stalagmites for a long time, so we won’t go in the wrong direction! Tie Yan, did you see how big the hole was when we set fire to it just now?”

The wingspan of the Vampire Bat King is at least five or six meters. There is no doubt that the place where it can fly will not be too small.However, what I was thinking in my mind was that the fire set by the old cow almost burned me by the way. I was angry and said unhappily: "At that time, the fire was raging, the black smoke was dense, and it was smoky and choking. I was almost burned to death by your kid, and I was eager to chase Tianyuan, how could I pay attention to that thing? Lao Niu, you led the way in and out of us, don't tell me you are a road idiot!"

The old cow said with a face full of grievances: "This is not my home. It is so dark that we can't see a few feet away with a flashlight on. We have been only concerned about running for our lives. How can we remember the way we walked? Can’t put all the responsibility on me alone!” Lao Niu was telling the truth, I could only sigh helplessly, and rolled my eyes around Lao Niu’s flashlight.

The beam of the flashlight can't shine very far. The important thing is that there is no sense of direction in this cave. It is useless to look at it, but it makes me more upset.Li Yongsheng leaned against the stone cave in a daze, his eyes half-closed, his face full of exhaustion, Tian Yuan lay beside him, still motionless.I also want to sit down and have a good rest, but I know that the more I rest in this situation, the more sleepy I feel, and the danger is lurking around me. The Vampire Bat King may appear at any time, and we must be ready to deal with it at any time.Thinking that the Vampire Bat King uses thermal induction to track its prey, I already have a way in my mind. If we use the heat from the flame to disperse and interfere with its judgment of our position, we will definitely be relatively safe.

Before going up the mountain, what we thought was that firewood was everywhere on the mountain. We should be able to find enough fuel whether it was to make a fire for warmth or to drive away wild animals. The gasoline we brought was only used to start a fire when the firewood was wet. We didn’t prepare too much. Who would have thought that we would fall Going face to face with an ancient three-cornered rhinoceros in a cave, and having a fight to the death with a ghostly vampire bat, everything is unexpected, and now we can only take one step at a time.

After I explained my intention to Li Yongsheng, Li Yongsheng agreed with my idea, and together they took out the remaining two bottles of gasoline, opened their backpacks, and prepared to find some clothes that they would not wear for the time being. bloodsucking bat.But after all, they are not at home when they go out. They are all lightly packed. No one brought too many clothes. The two of them searched through the luggage and managed to find three or four pieces. .I wanted the old cow to contribute a bit, but when I turned around, I found that the surroundings were dark and dead, and the old cow who was by our side just now had disappeared!

Where did the old cow go?My back is sweating!

The wings of the Vampire Bat King have been injured, and it is impossible to fly in a short time, unless it has the powerful self-repair ability like the mausoleum grass. If that is the case, the few of us are now in a place without protection. I'm afraid it's time to finish all the fun, and it's definitely not the only reason why the old cow was caught by it!Also, the gun is in the hands of Lao Niu. If something really happens, with his bravery, even if he has no chance to shoot, at least there will be a sound, unless something instantly kills Lao Niu up.

My mind became confused, and I thought of the half white strange face crawling on the rock wall. I couldn't be sure what it was until now.For what purpose does it approach us?So many mummies have been burned to ashes, why is it the only one that is okay? Could it have something to do with the disappearance of the old cow?Gradually, I realized that I was a little overwhelmed, so I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down the more weird things I encountered.He comforted himself and said: The so-called not to be surprised by the strange, and the strange to be self-defeating, refers to the fact that people's psychological factors are the key to whether they can successfully get out of trouble when they encounter a crisis.Although I thought about it this way, the real dilemma shrouded my heart like a dark cloud, and I couldn't get rid of it.
