Chapter 4072: Commendable
The cold wind was so cold that the two girls, Ni Jing and Ma Yuan, were shivering.
Zhao Xu really admired these expedition members.
Even though he knew it was dangerous, he still persisted.
This requires not only great perseverance, but also perseverance.
It’s really valuable!
It took nearly two hours for the three of them to pick up all the equipment and supplies lost by the expedition team.
When we returned to the cave, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.
A bonfire was set up in front of the cave.
Two girls, Ni Jing and Ma Yuan, were busy boiling eggs in order to give the expedition members a hot bite.
After tonight, Quinny, Batur, Liu Qingjuan and Tian Ye will leave.
As the parting was about to begin, everyone felt a little depressed.
In addition, the great white ape will appear at any time, making the expedition members feel heavy in their hearts.
After the expedition members had a simple meal, they sat around the campfire and chatted.
Cai Wenhan asked the expedition members: "Which of you took a photo of the great white ape?"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that the situation was urgent and they didn't take any pictures.
Cai Wenhan said it was a pity.
Zhao Xu suggested to Cai Wenhan: "Professor Cai, I suggest you not to expose this great white ape."
"Why?" Cai Wenhan asked puzzledly.
Zhao Xu explained: "Although this great white ape is fierce, it is very spiritual. It was once raised by an expert. It is better not to let outsiders disturb it. Otherwise, it will only increase the number of deaths."
"That's it!"
Cai Wenhan thought for a while and said, "Maybe you are right! Well, then we won't expose this white ape."
In fact, Zhao Xu kept a careful eye on it.
He thought to himself: Since this great white ape had been tamed before, he wanted to try to see if he could tame this white ape.
Of course, you can't take the Great White Ape to show off in the downtown area. At least, you can help him in the Kunlun Mountains.
Regardless of whether he could tame the great white ape or not, Zhao Xu didn't want such a spiritual animal to be exposed to the public.
Ni Jing suddenly said: "By the way, can we sneak across Tianshui Lake at night before the great white ape appears?"
"no!"
Zhao Xu and Cai Wenhan said in unison.
"Why?" Ni Jing asked puzzledly.
Cai Wenhan explained: "There are many dead birds and animals on the banks of Tianshui Lake. We don't know what caused it. In addition, Tianshui Lake has a very wide water area. No one can say whether there are dangerous creatures in the lake.
allow."
"That's right!" Zhao Xu nodded and said, "You must not cross Tianshui Lake at night. It is too dangerous."
He once had the experience of crossing the lake when he was in the Savage Shennong Valley.
In that lake, I encountered a man-eating water monster.
If there is a man-eating water monster in "Tianshui Lake", we will be in trouble.
In this dark night, there is absolutely no chance of escape.
Everyone chatted for a long time, Zhao Xu left Yinkun to watch at the entrance of the cave, and the others returned to the cave and fell asleep one after another.
While sleeping until midnight, Zhao Xu suddenly heard Yin Kun yelling: "Who is that person?"
Zhao Xu got up in a hurry and walked to the entrance of the cave.
When I came to the cave, I found it was empty and there was nothing.
He asked Yin Kun: "Akun, did you discover something just now?"
Yin Kun replied: "There were two black shadows that flashed past me just now."
"Two shadows?"
Zhao Xu had no doubts about Yin Kun's alertness and judgment.
"You stay at the entrance of the cave, I'll go take a look!"
Zhao Xu immediately headed towards the location pointed by Yin Kun.
When he got closer, he saw that it was the place where he and Yin Kun killed the wolves.
He clearly remembered that he killed a total of thirteen wolves at that time.
The wolf carcasses were not disposed of. Therefore, there should be thirteen wolf carcasses on the ground.
But there were only eleven wolf corpses on the ground.
Among them were two wolf corpses with half of their heads bitten off, as if they had been eaten by some ferocious beast.
Zhao Xu stepped forward and inspected it carefully, and was sure that it was the mark of someone who had just been bitten.
He stood up and looked around.
But nothing was found.
I couldn't help but frown, thinking: "It's strange, what kind of black shadow can move so fast and disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Before returning to the cave, Zhao Xu saw Cai Wenhan and other expedition members getting up and standing around the entrance of the cave.
"Mr. Zhao, what happened?" Cai Wenhan asked Zhao Xu.
So Zhao Xu told everyone what happened.
When Cai Wenhan heard this, he became curious and said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, please take me to see the two wolves that were eaten."
Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and led Cai Wenhan to the corpses of the wolves again.
Cai Wenhan saw that half of the heads of two wolves had been chewed off.
It looks very scary!
After he stepped forward and inspected it carefully, he frowned and said to Zhao Xu, "Mr. Zhao, these seem to be the marks of a mantis mantis chewing on it."
"Mantis man?" Zhao Xu was shocked.
In this one bite, half of the wolf's head was eaten, which was too scary.
Cai Wenhan said: "Look at these two wolves, the bitten parts on their heads were not caused by large animals at all. There are also traces of being scratched by sharp claws on the bodies of these wolves."
After Zhao Xu stepped forward to check, he saw that there were indeed signs of being scratched by some sharp claws.
It was like two big hooks, leaving several bloody holes in the wolf's body.
If it was really done by mantis men, then these mantis men must be nearby.
Zhao Xu saw nothing unusual around him and said to Cai Wenhan: "Professor Cai, let's go back!"
After the two returned to the cave, they did not talk about the "Mantis Man" for fear of causing panic among the expedition members.
One great white ape is enough to scare everyone, plus the mantis man appears, will they be allowed to live?
Cai Wenhan asked Sun Weifeng: "Weifeng, is the anesthetic gun still there?"
Sun Weifeng replied: "Yes!"
"That's good!" Cai Wenhan nodded.
"Tranquilizer gun?"
Zhao Xu asked Cai Wenhan: "Professor Cai, how many anesthetics have you prepared?"
"There are almost thirty animals in one box."
"Based on your experience, if you want to anesthetize the great white ape, how many injections will be needed?"
"This!..."
Cai Wenhan thought for a while and said: "Based on the normal weight of the white ape, three injections are enough. However, the great white ape is not an ordinary ape. According to my guess, at least five injections of anesthesia are needed.
It’s the dose that matters.”
"Can you give me some anesthetic needles?"
"Of course it's no problem! However, I can't give you too much, I have to save the rest to deal with the Mantis."
"Give you ten branches?"
"Of course! Thank you Professor Cai!"
From Zhao Xu's words, Cai Wenhan already understood the purpose of Zhao Xu's anesthesia injection.
If an anesthetic needle can be used, the great white ape can be anesthetized.
Chapter completed!
