Chapter 13 Attacked
Sun Xiang, who was holding the sampling box, was about to enter the woods. He wanted to sample the plants here, when he suddenly heard the low voice of Frank who was sampling in the lake: "Everyone, come and see, what is this?" Frank is the most calm in the team. There are not many things that can surprise him among the team members, and there must be something discovered at this time to call everyone, Sun Xiang hurried over.

There was a little wind on the surface of the lake, causing the lake water to ripple slightly. The direction Frank pointed was in the lake, about five meters away from the shore. The bones were half buried at the bottom of the lake.Although Sun Xiang was always on guard against wild animals after he arrived on this planet, he has never seen a large animal so far. The bone in front of him is more than two meters long from head to tail. It should have been longer before he was alive, and he is fully worthy of the title of large animal. .Half of this skeleton was buried in the mud at the bottom of the lake, and it was not clear to see. Just from the part exposed to the bottom of the lake, it can be concluded that it is not a fish.In order to see this thing clearly, Sun Xiang put on gloves, and then called everyone to move the skeleton to the shore together.The skeleton was not buried deep, so everyone turned their hands and feet and carried it ashore. Although the skeleton was incomplete, it was still possible to infer the general shape of the animal from it.

William is an expert in this area. He walked around the skeleton twice, stood still, and said: "This skeleton has serious missing forelimbs and hindlimbs, and only a bare bone rod is left. It is difficult to judge what its limbs were like before it was alive." That’s right, but judging from this thick bone stick, its limbs should be very thick.” Pointing to two rows of two-finger-thin bones, he continued: “From the ribs, it can be seen that its body is slightly thicker than a human’s, given that He has a body of nearly two meters, and overall it looks relatively slender." He walked around to the head of the skeleton and squatted down, "The jaw is more than 30 centimeters long, and the teeth are sharp, although the bite force depends on the relative Muscle group, this is gone, but just looking at this pair of teeth, we pray that we will not be bitten by this animal after encountering it. The cranial cavity has a large capacity, and the brain that can accommodate it must be quite large. Judging from the size, it should be the same as Humans are approaching." He stood up again, "In short, this pair of skeletons was close to three meters long from head to tail, with thick limbs and a slender figure. They can move more flexibly on the shore, but whether they are flexible in the water depends on him. With such a large cranial cavity, it is difficult to tell whether it is a wild animal or an intelligent creature. Even if they are still wild animals, they are very smart. As for whether it eats meat or vegetarian, it is still difficult to judge. Whether it eats meat or vegetarian, If I do see it, I think it's wiser to stay out of the way."

Sun Xiang held his chin and asked, "Could it be the native civilization you have come into contact with?"

"Certainly not. The local civilizations we have come into contact with are similar in shape to ours, and their average height is shorter than ours. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, they should also have evolved from ape-like creatures. The shape of this skeleton is even more Like an amphibian." William said affirmatively.

Now that he has seen the skeleton clearly, William has made his own judgment on it, and now there are no more clues for everyone to study, so Sun Xiang thinks there is no need to continue to study it.After such a long delay, today's task has not been completed. He asked Suzanne to take pictures of the skeleton of this unknown animal and keep it on file, and then said to everyone: "Okay, let's continue your task! Be careful when you are around, and pay attention to your own safety." After speaking, he turned and walked to the woods to continue his sampling work.

After the discovery of this pair of skeletons, everyone was very careful because they knew nothing about this creature, but until the work on the entire West Bank was completed, no trace of this animal was found.This time, in order to give the team members a full rest, the scheduled workload is relatively small. After the entire west bank exploration is completed, there will be a long time before it gets dark.Sun Xiang asked everyone to eat dinner now, and go to bed early after eating, so that they can cope with the work in the next few days when they have enough energy.

Night watch is quite a boring job, the sky is not completely dark yet, the surrounding scenery is good, Sun Xiang stands on the dirt slope enjoying the beauty of the setting sun.Sun Xiang and the others camped at the northwest corner of the Great Lake, on a relatively high and gentle slope. As the sun set, the hills on the bank gradually blocked the sunlight, and the entire west bank was shrouded in darkness.With nothing to do, Sun Xiang circled the campsite. When he turned to the direction of the lake, he seemed to see the lake fluctuate in the darkness in the distance. He rubbed his eyes. Even with his current vision, he couldn't It was impossible to see objects in the darkness at such a distance, and he stared at the lake for a while, but saw nothing.

Although nothing was found, but thinking of the skeleton he saw this afternoon, Sun Xiang was still vigilant about this abnormality.He turned around and took out the GP12 from the car, found a concealed observation point with a wide view, sat down cross-legged, put the gun in his hand across his legs, and quietly observed the dark lake in the distance.

Until it was completely dark, Sun Xiang didn't notice any abnormality. Maintaining a sitting posture for a long time made his legs a little numb. He put the gun on the ground beside him. flat.Sun Xiang, who was stretching, glanced out of the corner of his left eye and saw a boulder on the slope, and there seemed to be something wriggling on one side of the boulder. Sun Xiang, who noticed the abnormality, quickly rolled to the side where the gun was fired, rolling At the same time, he grabbed the gun with his hand, and just as he rolled away from the spot, two javelins were inserted into the position where he was originally sitting.

At this time, Sun Xiang immediately realized that he was being attacked. Before he had time to think about it, Sun Xiang raised the gun in his right hand and shot in the direction of the boulders down the slope. The last hissing sound spread far and wide across the night sky.Sun Xiang, who heard hissing, knew that his point shot had hit the target. Just when he was happy, he felt a sharp cold wind rushing towards his chest. It was too late to hide. He subconsciously raised his hand, and his The source force then came out, and the javelin that hit his chest seemed to be hit by an invisible shield, suddenly stagnated in the air, and then rolled to the ground.Sun Xiang could clearly see that the tip of the spear that was stagnant in the air was less than a foot away from his chest. If he hadn't used his ability in time, he would have been pinned to the ground by now.If he had the time now, he would definitely be in a cold sweat. The javelins coming one after another left him with no time to break out in a cold sweat. His familiarity with the use of Yuanli is not enough to resist the continuous attacks of the javelins and roll continuously to avoid them. Xiang made the most of the evasive moves he learned during training, but even so his left leg was bruised by the javelin.

After dodging more than ten consecutive javelins, the rain of guns finally stopped. When Sun Xiang dodged the javelins, although he was dizzy, he still felt the general direction of the javelins. The javelins attacking him all came from his body. On the left, a dotted semicircle is projected.Sun Xiang knelt down on one knee and turned the gun to the continuous firing state. With one pull of the trigger, all the remaining bullets in the magazine were released within ten seconds. With the bruised leg, he quickly approached the campsite.While he was running, there was a sound of heavy breathing behind him. He turned his head to see a dozen or so black shadows running towards him, much faster than he was dragging his injured leg. All the bullets were fired.

The black shadows that were chasing were surprisingly strong, and the groups of black shadows running in front were obviously hit, wailing again and again, but only Sun Xiang paid attention to the group of black shadows running in the front that fell down, and the other groups of black shadows fell down. Ying paused, howled a few times, and continued to rush towards him.

Sun Xiang changed magazines while running. In fact, more than 20 seconds had passed since the first shot was fired. In the camp, other well-trained team members had already come out with weapons to observe the situation.At this time, I saw Sun Xiang running desperately, followed by a dozen groups of black shadows. The four of them quickly searched for a favorable position and shot to block the shadows chasing Sun Xiang. The four of them cooperated tacitly. There were other people on top, and the dozen or so groups of black shadows were extremely brave, and they continued to rush forward, howling after being shot.

Panting for breath, seeing that the four of them were safe and sound, Sun Xiang felt relieved, and found a position to turn around and shoot backwards.With the tacit cooperation of the team members, the last group of black shadows also fell under the guns of everyone.The situation is unclear now, and there may be more attackers, Sun Xiang immediately ordered the two to be vigilant, and the rest packed up their belongings in the camp and prepared to move them.

After clearing the camp, two off-road vehicles drove to the place where the shadows had fallen just now, and a dozen groups of black shadows appeared under the dazzling headlights of the off-road vehicles.Their body length is nearly three meters, their hind limbs are extremely thick, their hind limbs are huge, and there are puss between the toes. The forelimbs are slightly slender than the hind limbs, but longer than the hind limbs. Pu also grows, but grows to half of the "finger".Their tails are short, and their relatively slender bodies are topped with a large head, it should be said to be a long head, which is very similar to the heads of lizards on the earth. Their skin is dark brown under the headlights.Sun Xiang specially picked up a javelin and came back. The body of the javelin was made of about two meters of plant stems, which was three centimeters thick, and the tip of the javelin was ground from animal bones. The total weight was more than ten catties. Candied haws on a string, looking at such a thick javelin, recalling the point of the spear that was so close to the chest just now, I am afraid after thinking about it.Sun Xiang asked Susanna to quickly record all these corpses with a video camera, and then drove the car far away to find another place to continue resting.
