Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.80 Eight Days After the Invasion·【First Update】"The ground is shaking...is it an earthquake?"

The bushes around the swamp almost grow to the height of the knees to the waist.

The coverage density is so fine that Zhang Jiuzhang and his party are seriously obstructed in their field of vision.

Sitting on the back of the giant beast, Cheng Sheng had the best view among the crowd, so he naturally assumed the role of scout.

He didn't ignore the low-pitched conversation between Lin Qian and Xu Ying, but he didn't speak to prevent the panic in the team from spreading.

Those gazes followed like a shadow, and from the moment they stepped into the swamp area, Cheng Sheng had faintly felt that gaze, but in his opinion, it was like the curious gaze of the aborigines in the primeval forest, irrelevant.

No matter where they went, those sights never left, but they were so cunning that they hid in the hidden forest, so that people could not find the source of sight.

But Cheng Sheng didn't expect that Lin Qian and Xu Ying's perception of these sights would be so creepy.

He frowned slightly, looking down at his palm.

Ever since the animal shape appeared for the first time, there was a small blue feather on the inside of his wrist, which seemed to be rooted deep in the skin. He usually wears long sleeves, and has been consciously covering that piece of skin. No one will pay special attention here.

But after waking up this time, the feather on the inside of his wrist seemed to become brighter in color, and there was a faint feeling of flamboyance in the luster, as if it would be completely stretched in the next second.

This also gave Cheng Sheng an innate sense of control over power and pride.

——Although even before the virus invaded, Cheng Sheng was already proud and conceited enough to cause headaches and dissatisfaction for those old scholars in the research institute.

But this time is different again. Cheng Sheng can't explain the change clearly, but it's specifically manifested in, for example, his perception of danger has become dull, or in other words, for certain dangers, Cheng Sheng's reason thinks they are It is worthy of vigilance, but deep down in my heart, I feel that it is not worth mentioning at all, so I ignore it subconsciously.

Such a contradiction made Cheng Sheng frowned fiercely, feeling that in the current situation, it was really terrible.

After bypassing the swamp, it was still Zhang Jiuzhang who opened the way with a fire axe, and Duan Yi walked in front of the team with Cheng Sheng on his back.

After crossing the high hill-like terrain, Zhang Jiuzhang cut open the shrubs in front of him that were almost as tall as a man, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.

In front of them were huge rocks, white, khaki, and different colors. They were regular ellipses, almost as tall as a person, and covered the flat ground tens of meters in front of them.

Zhang Jiuzhang frowned. It was a bit strange to see such a landform suddenly in a virgin forest.

Du Jingshu approached, looked at it curiously, and asked, "It's a bit like the stone forest on the Giant's Causeway that the teacher showed us."

"Ah?" Du Nanrong looked at his daughter.

"The one on the Antrim Plain." Du Jingshu said, she paused, and changed the phrase, "The topography of that place is rather special, just like the one in front of us, where there are pillars On the plain."

Du Jingshu took national geology as an elective in the university, but it was limited to books and classroom PPT, and he hadn't done much in the field.

After she finished speaking, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I just said it casually. I didn't say that the one in front of me must be, and I didn't know."

The Stone Forest of the Giant's Causeway mentioned by Du Jingshu is a product of karst landform and a work of nature.

Du Jingshu thought of the stone forest, not only because the white rocks in front of him were scattered but neatly arranged, showing a kind of natural geometric beauty, but also because they walked along the road, and they could see ready-made karst landform products everywhere.

The plants here generally have a well-developed root system. The roots climb over the rock face, stretch out tenaciously in all directions, twist and tangle with each other, meandering like a dragon and snake swimming, and if you don’t pay attention, you will be tripped by your ankles——Du Nanrong and Du Jingshu The two suffered a lot.

Such plants growing on the rock level, the roots of the trees linger and divide the rock, and the roots struggle to drill into the soil layer under the rock, forming a spectacular "forest on the rock".

If Du Jingshu had come here with his tutor and classmates, and hadn't gone as deep as the forest, and had a satellite phone to contact and provide supplies at any time, they would have been too happy to return.

The little girl was thinking silently in her heart, all she was thinking about was what she wanted most at the moment—not being in the depths of the primeval forest, having support, not having to worry about the supply of food and drinking water, and sleeping in a tent at night.

It was a daydream.

Du Jingshu sighed inwardly.

"No matter what the landform is in front of us, we have no other way to choose." Zhang Jiuzhang said.

On their left side is a tributary of a small river three or four meters wide, passing by, the current is very fast, and the undercurrent and reef are even more unpredictable.

And visible to the naked eye, the shadows that swim from time to time underwater are twice the size of ordinary fish, which is staggering.

On the other side of them, the terrain is steep, and the high and steep cliffs are like cutting with knives and axes.

After the river rushes here, it jumps down, forming a spectacular waterfall of more than ten meters high, with a deep pool underneath.

This is a typical primeval forest appearance, no one can imagine whether the next second will appear at their feet will be a cliff or a flat ground, or an underground karst cave.

Every step you take here is an adventure.

Zhang Jiuzhang looked at Duan Yi, the ancient monster nodded slightly to him, and took the lead in walking in front with Cheng Sheng on his back.

The gaps between the rock piles vary in width. The narrow places require people to walk sideways, while the wide places are wide enough for Duan Yi to walk through easily.

The ancient behemoth jumped a few times, and quickly swept to the other side of the rock pile with the strength of the rock.

Both Du Nanrong and Zhang Jiuzhang were relatively stronger, and they would get stuck in the cracks of the rocks from time to time, and their speed was not as fast as Du Jingshu's, let alone Luo Xiaonan's.

——Relying on his small size, the little guy was unimpeded in the rock formation, followed by Duan Yi and the doctor, and ran out of the rock formation second, staying on the opposite side and waiting for others.

Du Nanrong was stuck between two rocks again, he took a deep breath, and then listened to Du Jingshu in front of him cheering him up with a smile, telling him to hold his stomach and hold his breath to get out.

Du Nanrong wanted to tell the little girl that her father's belly was full of abdominal muscles, and there was not much room for him to tighten his belly.

He glanced at Duan Yi and the doctor who had already passed the rock formation in the blink of an eye, feeling envious.

Turning his head again, he saw Zhang Jiuzhang with a stinky face next to him, who was also stuck.

Du Nanrong felt relieved, grinned at the other party, twisted his buttocks and sucked his stomach, and squeezed out with a squeak.

Zhang Jiuzhang: "..." Little brat.

Lin Qian and Xu Ying shuttled carefully between the rock formations, and they looked at each other's back from time to time. The sight of being scrutinized seemed to be much less after they entered the rock formation.

This made Lin Qian and Xu Ying feel relieved, but at the same time they felt puzzled.

In the end, Du Jingshu, Xu Ying and Lin Qian all ran out, only Du Nanrong and Zhang Jiuzhang were left behind.

The two seemed to be in a competition, struggling to drill back and forth between several rocks.

Xu Ying walked to Cheng Sheng's side and lowered her voice: "Doctor, do you feel it? Those eyes that are looking at us... It seems that after we entered these rocks, there were a lot less."

Lin Qian also came closer, and said, "That's right, I always feel a little weird."

"It seems to be... afraid of something?" Suddenly, Du Jingshu also interjected.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qian, Xu Ying and Cheng Sheng all looked at her in unison.

The little girl was taken aback, blinked, and said hastily, "I'll just say it casually."

Cheng Sheng lowered his face, pursed his lips and said, "She's right. If those eyes didn't show up, they wouldn't disappear for no reason, unless they were afraid of something and left."

Lin Qian took a deep breath: "The rhythm of just getting out of the tiger's den and then falling into the wolf's mouth?"

Xu Ying pursed her lips and bumped Lin Qian hard with her elbow without saying a word.

Lin Qian shut his mouth. His mouth was opened in reverse, so he couldn't talk nonsense.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiaonan gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, doctor, look quickly, the ground is shaking...is it an earthquake?"

Cheng Sheng heard the words and immediately looked over, and saw a few scattered rocks shaking slightly in front of them.

Zhang Jiuzhang and Du Nanrong were in the rock array, and the shaking rocks were not around them, but they didn't feel anything.

They still walked twice and stuck once, and Du Nanrong walked without temper. He just felt that this short distance of tens of meters was more tiring than the previous fast running through the jungle.

He rested slightly against the rock behind him and took a few breaths.

Zhang Jiuzhang glanced at him and snorted: "Is there no strength left?"

Du Nanrong: "..." Oh, the elementary school students are provocative.

I don't have the strength to talk to you.Du Nanrong rolled his eyes.

Leaning against the rock behind him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand against the rock wall and felt it carefully.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jiuzhang managed to move over, and seeing Du Nanrong lying there, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hush, this rock doesn't seem to be right." Du Nanrong said, he waved his hand, motioning for Zhang Jiuzhang to come over, "It seems to be moving."

Zhang Jiuzhang frowned.

At the end of the rock formation, Duan Yi suddenly arched his body slightly and let out a low warning growl.

Cheng Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly: "Let Du Nanrong and Zhang Jiuzhang come out quickly! This is not a rock, it's an egg!"

Both Lin Qian and Du Jingshu were taken aback, fuck?

If this is an egg, such a big egg... How big is the egg mother?What is it? !

Zhang Jiuzhang and Du Nanrong heard Cheng Sheng's shout, and they looked at each other.

In the next second, the rock wall under Du Nanrong's palm made a crackling sound.

Du Nanrong was startled, and withdrew his hand suddenly, and saw the thin cracks on the white-yellow rock wall in front of him spread rapidly, getting deeper and deeper, and the broken rock wall slightly protruded outward, as if something was pushing it.

It's about to break the shell.

His pupils shrank fiercely, cursed secretly, and immediately pushed Zhang Jiuzhang: "Go!"

The two seized the time to squeeze out.

When he knew that the rocks around him were the eggs of certain creatures, Du Nanrong suddenly felt chills all over his body. The eggs were either birds or reptiles. He prayed in his heart that a group of fluffy chicks would come out of the eggs.

It must not be something with cold scales.

With a "crack", an egg beside Du Nanrong made a loud cracking sound, and the egg liquid rushed out, drenching Du Nanrong all over.

Du Nanrong: "..."

He turned his head slightly stiffly to look, and saw a pointed head with a small piece of broken white eggshell sticking out, looking at him curiously.

Also strangely cute.

Hold.

It is scaly.
