Chapter 46 Horseshoe Crab

But there is no point regretting it now. Inside the hanging coffin is either Cao Cao or Sima Yi. Who exactly is still a mystery.

King Jing was washed down by the mountain, which means that there is the Longquan Tomb in it. How to get up there?

The water flows downwards, and getting up is not as simple as sailing against the current.

After a long time, Fatty recalled. He told me that it was the most difficult period for him. The toxicity broke out and he felt the pain of Long Wu. Along the way, Long Wu endured such great pain without even uttering a cry of pain. This was a true man.

The fat man lost all feeling in his toes, and his brain sent downward commands to his calves, which were intercepted by poison. That feeling was so uncomfortable. My brain had already developed instructions to move my feet, but my feet didn't respond at all. I didn't know when I could move my toes, which was enough to make me collapse.

The number of ghost babies is very large. Without a single glance, many of them have climbed up in layers. The huge pillars are thicker and thicker under their wraps. The desire to attack them with bullets had disappeared, and the fat man gave up in despair, and the Colt in his hand hung down weakly.

When he was also poisoned by a strange poison, Fatty's reaction to the poison was obviously much stronger than that of Long Wu. I don't know whether it was due to the toxicity of the poison or whether Long Wu was too tolerant.

There was also a life-saving detonator in the fat man's bag. This was originally used to save lives, but now in the desperate situation, the fat man had to use it for other purposes.

Die together---one life for two.

The fat man said desperately: "It's just a joke to say that I want to die on the same year, the same month, and the same day. Fatty, I really can't run anymore. I'll tie these detonators to my body. You crawl quickly. If you crawl too far, I won't be able to blow you up. Fatty." I will die with these devils."

I looked back and saw that the fat man's eyes were full of perseverance, completely different from his usual cheerful appearance. He wants us to crawl far away, and he will blow up the beams to intercept the ghost babies that are chasing us.

I turned around and shouted: "Fat man, you want to imitate the great martyr Dong Cunrui, but you are not qualified yet!"

I yelled and wanted to go back and pull the fat man, but my hand slipped and I almost fell off the beam. At this moment, I felt my two buttocks were numb and swishing. I dug my toes in hard, trying not to dig out a big hole in the sole of my shoe. My toes also grabbed the beam.

Fortunately, when I was about to fall, my two arms reacted and hugged the beam tightly, causing me to hang upside down.

Long Wuyi was in trouble. Originally, he wanted to be the first to pull the fat man's fat body. But when he saw that I was like a pig hanging upside down on a bamboo pole to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, he wanted to pull me up first.

Under the beam, I couldn't see Long Wu's figure, but I could feel him running towards me. "No! Go save the fat man first!" I said quickly to the top.

It's not that my situation wasn't urgent enough, but when I turned it over, I saw something with a hard shell.

I can guarantee that that thing is definitely alive.

When I flipped it down, it was still moving slowly, but when I caused the beam to tremble, it stopped in place and stopped moving.

It was a crawling thing with a hard shell, an oval hard shell, with a long hard tail.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a horseshoe crab!

This creature has survived on the earth for 500 million years and is as old as trilobites. It is a veritable living fossil.

The horseshoe crab has a unique characteristic in the world, its blood is blue!

In fact, the reason for this phenomenon is that its blood is rich in copper ions. The blood is colorless in the body, but it turns blue when it encounters air. The blood of this ancient creature is called liquid gold and has miraculous effects on detoxification!

I have a certain understanding of horseshoe crabs. The horseshoe crab has two single eyes and two compound eyes, a total of four eyes. Its shape is very similar to a UFO spaceship, so many people say that this creature is an alien from another planet.

The horseshoe crab's two small single eyes are directly in front of the breastplate, separated by only a black line in the middle. They are also very sensitive to ultraviolet light. I shone a flashlight on it, but it still didn't move.

I was very happy when I saw the horseshoe crab. I had a chance to rescue the fat man!

The horseshoe crab looked extremely timid and motionless. I quickly took advantage of this opportunity to hit it with one strike. Only when I moved forward to catch it did I realize why it was crawling upside down on the beam.

It left a lot of colorless mucus wherever it crawled along the way. It was unknown whether it was produced by the thousand-year-old beams or secreted by this creature.

The mucus is so sticky that it sticks to the gloves like a double-sided tape.

I hung upside down on the beam, and if I looked down casually, I could see countless ghost babies crying and scratching. When they saw my upside-down body moving slowly, they stirred up another wave of ghost babies.

I took a deep breath, not daring to look down anymore, so I suddenly made a move and grabbed the hard shell of the horseshoe crab. I could feel the hardness of the hard shell of the horseshoe crab when I held it in my hand. It was really like grabbing an oval piece. Cement blocks.

At this time, everyone in the main hall of the underground palace was doing their own thing. Long Wu was pulling to save the fat man, and I was hanging upside down from the beam to grab the horseshoe crab shell. The mummy satyr danced the cha-cha dance, and the unicorn spewed fire from the water.

There is also a wave of corpses of ghost babies!

At some point, the searchlight overhead went out again. I was hanging upside down on the beam and couldn't beat it with my hands. At this time, I quickly asked for help from my teammates above. I caught a treasure and quickly pulled me up.

The fat man was pulled directly above me by Long Wu. When I was pulled up, I vaguely saw another hard-shelled creature protruding from the mouth of the beam in front.

I immediately suspected that there was more than one of these horseshoe crabs, actually hiding on the beams of the dome. I immediately concluded that there must be some extremely humid place nearby. In addition to the mountain, there must be other places connected to the Longquan Tomb above.

Fatty and Long Wu pulled me up one after another. When they saw the oval hard thing in my hand, Fatty was the first to recognize it.

He had been floating on the sea for several years before, and he could see all kinds of marine life on the boat. He recognized it at a glance as a horseshoe crab.

Regarding the association with the sea, Fatty reacted very quickly and quickly made the same judgment as me. There must be other connections nearby.

Taking horseshoe crab blood is a technical job, it is not as simple as chopping it open with a knife.

Ancient creatures appeared one after another in the ancient tombs of the outer Jin and inner Han Dynasties, first the loggerhead turtle, and then the horseshoe crab. We vaguely felt that there was a bigger mystery waiting for us.

The horseshoe crab was held in my hand and shrank into a ball. The fat man took over the handling of its hard body.

The wave of ghost babies below is rolling and jumping, climbing higher and higher.

When the number of enemies is greater than one's own bullets, what is left is only deep despair, and resistance has lost its meaning.

The fat man's method of taking horseshoe crab blood was very clever. Sure enough, the transparent blood was blue at first sight, or in other words, the blood that flowed out directly was blue blood.

The fat man's methods were meticulous and he didn't want to take the horseshoe crab's life.

The horseshoe crab felt the sharp tip of the knife piercing its body, and the short crab-like legs under the shell began to scratch randomly. The fat man said, this thing has dealt with our ancestors, and he was forced to do this cruelly. No wonder, no wonder. .

Fat people also know that this stuff has miraculous detoxification effects.

After taking out a piece of blue liquid the size of a fingernail, he anxiously urged Long Wu to open his palm and help Long Wu detoxify first.

Long Wu didn't say much, he just pushed his palm and asked the fat man to save him first.

Look at the two of them going back and forth, one is talkative and the other is boring.

I couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the fat man to come first.

The fat man took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. The pink flesh pit on his calf was getting worse and worse. He gently pressed the horseshoe crab blood on the wound, and saw that the wound was like a small whirlpool, sucking the horseshoe crab blood in instantly.

We shouted at the same time that there is a door, which is a sign that the toxicity is restrained.

Judging from the fat man's expression, the pain seemed to be much less severe. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but asking if it would have any effect in a short period of time was undoubtedly empty talk. I had no choice but to urge the fat man to get some more horseshoe crab blood and apply it to Long Wuye.

The fat man said that this was his first time. Although he had never taken horseshoe crab blood with his own hands before, he heard an old crew member say when he was on the boat that you should not be in a hurry when taking horseshoe crab blood. If you do, the horseshoe crab will die suddenly. The blood of a dead horseshoe crab will change rapidly, and the detoxification effect will be greatly reduced or even counterproductive.

I saw that the fat man was very confident in what he said, and he seemed to be 100% sure of what he said. This reminded me of harvesting the bile of a living bear. I did n’t expect that this horseshoe crab would end up like a bear after living for hundreds of millions of years. It's a treasure, but you have to use the most painful method in the world to torture it.

Seeing that the hard-shelled short legs scratching under the horseshoe crab's shell had slowed down a lot, the fat man didn't dare to make any further moves. He carefully wrapped the horseshoe crab and put it in his backpack. He suggested that he look around for a safer place. With the antidote, no one has to seek death or survival.

Seeing the horseshoe crab really had a miraculous effect, I quickly told what I had just seen. There was something strange under the beam. The horseshoe crab could crawl upside down on the beam. There was also a small hole in front, and the mucus extended into the hole and there was A hard-shelled creature showed its head. Maybe a horseshoe crab has made a nest in this beam, and we can take out a few more.

My words made the fat man excited, and he shouted that if there was such a good thing, he would bend down to see that place.

Long Wu and I dragged his body, and the fat man tried his best to look in the direction I said. What I was dragging happened to be the fat man's left leg. This kid's legs were extremely strong and he seemed to have regained a lot of strength. , I was secretly happy, horseshoe crab blood really has wonderful effects.

But the fat man leaned down and turned around and told me: "Old Cao, are you dazzled! Is there any hiding place for the horseshoe crab?"

The fat man looked dizzy when he saw the ghost babies rolling like corpses below, and hurriedly asked us to pull him up.

As soon as the fat man came up, I couldn't wait to turn around and look forward. Isn't the hole at the connection between the beam and a column?

I looked hastily, but I guarantee that I saw it correctly, but I also saw the ghost baby approaching eagerly. It was not a good thing to stay here at this time, and the right way was to quickly find other ways out.

Looking up, I suddenly noticed that one place was surprisingly quiet. The mummy and Sartre were not entangled together. Why was there no movement at this time?

I quickly looked over and saw that Sartre and the mummy were nowhere to be seen, only the hanging coffin was left empty, and the broken black iron chain was restored to its original state!
