Chapter 35 (1)
"You mean, these Milota eat people?"
"They eat everything they can capture, and the most common way of preying is to use a unique way to trap creatures that have fallen into certain gaps and caves, and then eat their bodies."
We followed him back into the cave.
"What is the unique way you said?" asked the fat man.
"They can use their secretions to close caves and gaps and trap prey in the mountains. This process is very rapid. There are a lot of gaps in these mountains. It is like a maze. After many people enter, they will find that the entrance they enter suddenly disappears."
The fat man and I looked at each other and realized what had happened in the closed cave at the bottom of the lake before.
"Or it can be said that they can form rocks themselves. There are two types of rocks here. One is real, originally existing rocks, and the other is formed after the body fluids they secrete solidify. The stones formed by this secretion are exactly the same as the stones here. They swallow, rot the rocks, and then fill their secretions in them, like concrete. Using this method, the whole mountain is like a huge piece of jelly. They can move slowly in the jelly, and the rocks are like liquids. But this method is only effective for sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, so they cannot move forward when they encounter igneous rocks. There is another way, which is to sprinkle strong alkali on the stones, which can also stop them."
"Can we say that the rock walls around this ancient road are covered with strong alkali? Although we can see the Milodo inside, they won't come out?" asked the fat man.
I shook my head: "After so many years, will I not be washed away by the rain?"
The ghost said: "When it rains, the entire mountain road is a water diversion channel. There is an alkaline mineral layer on the top of this mountain. All the rainwater washes down from the top and is attracted to this water diversion channel. You see, the starting point of these mountain roads is very strange. The rainwater flows here very slowly, and there are many water accumulation designs on the surface of the mountain road, so when the flowing water washes down, there will be countless pools here. After these pools dry up, the alkaline substances inside will cover the surface of the rock."
I remember the ancient road covered with logs that fat man took us when we came before, where there were indeed a large number of pools.
"So, is this an extremely special primitive ranch?"
"I think the word 'raft' is not appropriate," said the ghost. "At that time we thought it was like a fish pond. Rocks were water. These Milota were fish in the water. Fish could swim freely in this area, but they could never get ashore."
"But does this have anything to do with what you said that they will definitely die if they enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building?"
"I don't know if you have ever caught fish. There is a very common phenomenon in fish ponds: when putting bait in a crowded fish pond, all the fish will be attracted by the bait. After they entered the Zhangjia Ancient Building, there were stones covered with strong alkalis around the Zhangjia Ancient Building, and those things could not be entered. However, they will be attracted by the heat emitted by the people inside and squeezed around the Zhangjia Ancient Building. Everything will be squeezed at the entrance."
"You mean, my friend will be trapped to death?"
"It's probably true, but the situation is more terrifying than you think. If there are too many Milotus gathering around, the mechanism of Zhangjia Ancient Building will be activated, and a large amount of strong alkaline water will flow down from the top of the cave, forming a water mist, filling the entire ancient building, forcing the Milotus gathering around to retreat. The entire ancient building will be in a strong alkaline mist, and no one in the building will survive."
The fat man looked at me, and I didn't know how to continue talking, so the fat man said, "Wait a minute. So, if you have entered the Zhang Family Ancient Building, why are you still alive?"
The ghost tweaked his hair, revealed an extremely terrifying face, and found it in front of the fat man: "Do you think I am really alive? I just haven't died completely."
When I saw his face, I immediately realized how this melting of his body was formed. This is the effect of strong alkali.
"I was in the tunnel at that time, and I was just gently sprayed by strong alkali gas, and it turned into this. The people in the ancient building instantly turned into water."
When he said this, he calmed down. Although his whole face melted, I suddenly felt a little touched - I seemed to recognize who he was.
He was not in that photo, and it was not the kind of relationship I guessed with Uncle San. I was sweating coldly when I thought about it, but I did see him. Where did I see him? Who is he?
The more I feel that I want to remember, the less I can remember it. After recalling it for a long time, I finally gave up. I know that if I don’t flip through the album or completely relax, it will be even worse to do this.
"Brother, I sympathize with you very much." The fat man walked around the side for a few times and found that there was nothing in the hole. He sat down next to me, "What are you going to do? Fat Master, I know the doctor of Union. I think you are like a human. It's probably difficult to act like a human. "
