Chapter 2023

"What?"

Bell didn't quite understand what Su Chen wanted to do.

Su Chen followed Bell's arm, pulled the thin rope, and found that the rope was different from the ordinary rope. The ordinary rope is soft, but this rope is soft on the outside, but hard on the heart.

Bell noticed that Su Chen was exerting force, so he let go of his fingers, and the rope fell into Su Chen's hand.

He asked uncertainly, "You want to lure that thing out?"

Su Chen hummed. Said: "That thing is likely to be a strange creature that humans have not discovered yet, aren't you interested?"

Bell didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't speak for a long time. "In such an environment, even if we draw that thing out, we may not be able to capture it."

Su Chen said, "I have a solution."

He pulled out the dagger from Bell's waist and flicked it twice. Bell said softly, "Be careful, this is my special Swiss Army knife. It's very sharp."

Su Chen chuckled twice, the dagger slashed silently, and made a light pop, Bell was dumbfounded, "You want to kill me?"

Su Chen inserted the dagger back into Bell's waist as if nothing had happened, and pinched his wound, which only hurt the skin, "With such a wound, if you can die, then I admire you too."

Bell also reacted at this time. There was only a slight tingling pain on his arm. It was obvious that the dagger just scratched his skin. "You want to use my blood to lure that thing out."

Su Chen said: "That thing attacked you, probably not because the rope alarmed it."

Bell pinched the wound to allow Su Chen to take blood, guessing: "Could it be that he can smell the blood on my body?"

Su Chen responded vaguely. He wasn't sure whether the thing smelled the blood on Bell's body or smelled him, because when he broke through the realm, he lost almost half of the blood in his body, even though he traveled here. The blood on his body has dried, but his blood is special, and animals with a keen sense of smell should be able to smell it.

There were no external wounds on Bell, only a few scratches. Although the scratches were relatively large, they had already begun to scab. If the thing had a sensitive enough sense of smell, the smell of blood should also be on him. , not Bell's.

Su Chen knew. Bell would not suspect that the blood on his body was different from others, but he thought that when Bell approached him before, that thing would automatically back away. It is conceivable that that thing could detect the abnormality of his body. If his blood was used, That thing probably won't take the bait.

Su Chen pulled the string halfway up, wiped Bell's blood on the rope, and then slowly went down. He could hear the sound of the rope rubbing against each other, then fell silent.

Time passed by, and Bell was looking forward to it nervously. The light was too dim, and he couldn't see anything with his naked eyes, so he simply closed his eyes. Focus on listening.

After a while, the rope remained calm, but the weird panting sound reappeared.

Su Chen leaned over. He wanted to figure out what was going on with the airflow. In the silent crypt, the sound of panting was particularly obvious. Su Chen stared at the entrance of the air hole. Although he couldn't see the flow of airflow, he could clearly The perceptible at the entrance of the stomata. The airflow is strong.

There are only air holes the size of a finger, but they can have such a strong airflow. It is obvious that there must be something stirring the air below.

Su Chen wanted to let go of his consciousness. He checked to see what was under the air hole, but the system issued a warning first, so he had no choice but to give up.

He was just getting up. The panting sound suddenly disappeared, and then he felt that the rope trembled slightly.

The slight trembling disappeared quickly, but Su Chen was sure that the rope had indeed moved just now, and he immediately approached the air hole, and at the same time his eyes approached the air hole, he heard the sound of friction.

The sound was low, but the moving speed was very fast. Su Chen took half a step back, then stretched out his arms, and hung his fingers above the air hole.

"Whoosh!"

He heard a very light and quick sound of breaking through the air, and subconsciously retracted his fingers. Then he smiled lightly.

"Slap."

Su Chen retreated to Bell's side, handed the item in front of Bell's eyes, and said softly, "Turn on the flashlight and see what it is."

Su Chen pretended not to see the thing clearly, and moved his hand forward. Bell immediately took out a miniature flashlight from the backpack. At the moment when the light illuminated, the thing in Su Chen's hand suddenly let out a sharp scream, and then began to struggle violently.

When Bell saw that thing, he subconsciously exclaimed, "Oh, mygod, what is this?"

Su Chen said: "Looking at its shape, it should be a kind of catfish."

If you don't look carefully, the thing Su Chen is holding looks like a small snake, but its whole body is transparent. The two black spots on the head should be eyes, and the mouth is like a catfish with two beards. Some are flat, but the tail is like an inverted triangle with a few spikes.

Bell carefully moved forward to get the thing's tail and swished it towards his face. Bell immediately fell back. Although he was not hit, he still felt a bit chilly on his face.

Su Chen felt that it was almost done. With a little force on his fingers, the thing stopped moving instantly, "It should have lived underground all year round, so it evolved a transparent body."

Bell shook his head, and said, "I've seen mutated catfish in caves elsewhere, but the body shape of those catfish is not much different from ordinary catfish. With barbs."

He stared at the thing for a long time, and said with some hesitation: "The head is indeed like a catfish, but its tail is like a poisonous snake in Guatemala. Could it be a hybrid between a catfish and a poisonous snake?"

Su Chen was surprised: "Is there no species isolation between catfish and poisonous snakes? Can these two creatures produce offspring?"

Su Chen is a complete novice in biology. He doesn't know whether catfish and poisonous snakes can produce offspring, but the little thing in his hand is indeed like Bell shot, with a head like a catfish and a tail like a poisonous snake.

"There's a good chance it has a poisonous tail, how do we get it out?" Bell said.

Su Chen said: "Pinch it to death and take it out."

"It would be best if it could be in a living specimen," Bell carefully took the object from Su Chen's hand, but couldn't find the object in full bloom for a while, "Is it still alive now?"
