Leighton studied for a while and then resolutely chose to give up-even if the whole thing was dismantled and transported to the research institute, it would take several days for the experts who had been immersed in mechanical engineering for more than half a generation to understand the principle of this thing.
"That can find those exiles into metal bars? That should be something like a key. If there is that thing, it should be able to start the base machine, "said Kelan."
"No … I also looked for the mercenary who had been to the metal stick but couldn’t find the root." Leighton shook his head. "Either those metal sticks have been swallowed or the mercenary is wrong."
"But we exiles didn’t find these things." Kelan said with some loss that the clue was right in front of them, but the problem was that they were helpless about it-just like facing a tortoise with its head and limbs retracted in its shell.
"Let’s put this aside and check his place first," Kelan said.
He walked quickly to the edge of the stone stage, took a photo of the peripheral ring groove with his hand tube, and then climbed over it lightly.
According to the description of mercenaries, the pale pink paste that is suspected of "resting the soil" is coming from the stone table, so besides this pedestal, this stone table body must have hidden mystery.
"Snapping" A hard rubber boot sole stepped on the bottom of the ditch outside the stone stage, but before Ke Lan bent down to look at him, he felt something wrapped around the back of his foot.
Through the boots and socks, Kelan can feel that thing has the toughness like rubber, and it wraps around his ankle loosely … but it doesn’t make an aggressive move. It just rubs on Kelan’s boots like a well-behaved and docile puppy …
Kelan slowly pointed his hand at the foot and saw the bottom of the ditch. Less than a second later, it was covered with that pale pink paste. A tentacle-like limb extended from the paste, just like some mollusk. His boot was wrapped around several times.
Leighton, who is behind Kelan, but hasn’t come from the stone stage, has also seen this scene. His face shows a sense of tension and he picks up his gun.
But at this time Koran raised his hand to stop Leighton from moving and shook his head at him.
The bomb didn’t hit this thing, and it didn’t seem to show hostility.
"damn it! Damn it! What should I do now? ….. Kelan, tell me what I can do to help you? " Although his words were full of anxiety, he had to keep his voice down for fear of disturbing the pink "meat paste"
"Just don’t move there," Kelan told him, and then he turned to Asano. "Asano, can you find my position now?"
"Neng" Asano Akira nodded with combat knives in his arms. "I can find you if you make a sound."
"Well, I’ll tell you about my plan …" Kelan said quickly. "I’m going to try the mercenary’s method of feeding these things with blood … but I don’t know whether the mercenary’s information is true or not. If there is an accident later, I’ll try to jump to Leighton. You have to find a way to catch me and then Asano, you are responsible for cutting off things chasing me-if they come after me."
As he spoke, Kelan slowly leaned over and took off his shoelaces from the quick buckles on the most square of his boots.
"This ….. this is really no problem? You … aren’t you afraid that mercenary will cheat us? " Leighton said with a face of worry.
"So I didn’t ask you to make second-hand preparations?" Kelan saw his one eye and said
"But it’s too risky …"
"Actually … I don’t think that guy should have lied to us. It’s been a minute now, but this thing is still not aggressive and doesn’t continue along my leg … which means it’s completely different from the characteristics of’ cultivating soil’" Kelan said. "Well, I’m going to be ready to bleed … if anything happens to it, I’ll throw off my boots and jump to you."
"I … I’ll catch you" Leighton bit his teeth and nodded to Kelan.
Kelan took a deep breath and lifted his cuffs. He drew a dagger from his waist and scratched his arm shallowly.
Suddenly, a bead of blood seeped out of the incision and slipped along the skin, eventually falling into pink paste at Kelan’s feet.
Both Kelan and Leighton hold their breath and stare big eyes at this blood bead, while Asano Akira has pushed the combating Dao out of its sheath with his thumb for half an inch.
After touching this drop of blood bead, the surface of the paste instantly cracked a small mouth and swallowed the blood bead … Then the paste at Kelan’s feet actually crawled slowly. Several clumps of granulation grew out of the paste, and these granulation quickly extended and elongated into slender tentacles. These tentacles surrounded Kelan’s boots but did not attack. They gently swayed and touched the surface of a boot from time to time, looking very "curious".
No, no … It’s curious, but Kelan thinks … These tentacles are like "coquetry" …
Leighton has been completely stunned. He doesn’t know if this kind of situation is an "accident" as Kelan said. He stretched out the mechanical arm but froze in the middle. He didn’t know if he should give Kelan a hand.
"What’s the matter?" Asano Akira asked softly that he couldn’t see the scene, so he could infer from the sound. "There seems to be a lot of subtle noises … How about Kelan?"
"Shh … don’t make a move yet … I’m not in danger for the time being," Kelan said. "I think … it probably wants more blood …"
He raised his arm and squeezed his arm with the other hand, and squeezed a few drops of blood from the incision.
These drops of blood fell and were quickly swallowed by the paste. At this time, the tentacles crawled slowly as if they were greatly satisfied … This made Ke Lan think of those descendants who inhaled a lot of dream jujube incense. They closed their eyes and shook their heads, which was similar to these tentacles …
After almost five or six minutes, the tentacles wrapped around Kelan’s ankle reluctantly let him back into the mud, and the mud spread quickly gathered and gathered.
"I think … it should be all right. That guy didn’t lie to us." Kelan said and pulled out a bandage from his pocket and wrapped it around his wound.
"Shout-"Leighton exhaled heavily for half a day and raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead; Asano Zhao tight body also relaxed together to "ceng" a draw out that a small blade also returned to the sheath.
"Are you coming?" Leighton held out his hand to pull Koran to the stone stage, but the latter waved at him.
"Wait a minute"
Say that finish Koran went toward the beach contraction paste in the past, which made Leighton couldn’t help nervous again "aww … Koran what are you doing? You just got out of danger. Don’t mess with this thing again! "
"I want to see where they came from," replied Koran.
The pink paste scattered at the bottom of the ditch crawled together, and it gradually transformed into a python-like creature, and its moving mode became like a snake.
Kelan chased this "meat python" and walked around the stone platform for less than half a circle, only to find that there is a cave with a diameter of half a meter at the bottom of the stone platform close to the bottom of the ditch.
Koran watched helplessly as this "meat python" got into the cave and disappeared from sight.
"There is a hole here!" Leighton low shout a way: "This position and angle is really hidden stone platform. This hole is just in the dead angle of view, but if it is opposite the stone platform, the shadow projected by the stone platform will just cover the hole … unless the light is aimed directly at this hole, it will be easily overlooked."
Obviously, those mercenaries didn’t find the hole … They had a goal in their eyes, and the root of the pot wouldn’t have the mind to examine the cave carefully.
But Koran knows that there must be a passage in this place, otherwise these pink paste can’t disappear just by appearing-unless it can seep directly from the ground.
Koran squatted in front of the hole and drew the palm of his hand the size of the hole, then took off his equipment.
"Wait a minute … you’re not going to get in, are you?" Leighton startled way
"Otherwise? Did you bring a remote control robot? " Kelan asks, at this time, he has taken off his harness and winter coat, leaving only his close-fitting clothes and a sweater with a little cold protection.
