Chapter 329 Earth Crack

   This bird looks like a crane at first glance, but it doesn't look exactly like it when you look closely. Its white feathers are not pure white, but a faint cyan color in the white, and the skin under the feathers is a faint blood color. In addition, this strange bird has a special smell, a fishy smell.

   Live birds are temporarily imprisoned, and dead birds are used for dissection.

   "Its muscles are very strong, why is the blood such a color?"

   "Be careful, it may carry bacteria and viruses for healing, and its blood may be poisonous."

  After testing, they found a terrible germ on this strange bird, which has a strong ability to cause disease. And the soldiers patrolling outside Fanghu Island began to appear, and some soldiers fell down one after another.

  Inexplicably high fever, internal bleeding, a special pathogenic bacteria was detected in their bodies. They were infected by strange birds.

  In a secret base, Lu Xunxian looked at the photo uploaded from the monitor, and it was that strange bird.

   "This, isn't this the crane?"

   "It's not a crane. At first glance, it looks like a crane. If you look closely, it is different from a crane."

   "I did see cranes on that fairy island, and there were quite a few of them." Lu Xunxian said.

  The emergence of these crane-like strange birds brought about the terrible pathogenic bacteria, which caused many soldiers to fall ill, but there was nothing else.

  Lu Xunxian did not provide any valuable help.

  The wind and rain on the sea showed no signs of stopping, and the fog on Fanghuxian Island became more dense.

  In the early morning of the next day, the wind and rain suddenly stopped, and the fog surrounding Fanghu Island suddenly became thinner. The islands, which were originally blurred, can now be seen very clearly.

   "Hurry up, the island is showing its true colors!"

  This island is not small in size, and the two peaks on it are like dragon spines.

   "Electromagnetic interference has also been reduced a lot."

   "Send someone up!"

  Because of clouds, fog, and electromagnetic interference, it was impossible to use flying equipment to approach. There are many hidden reefs on the periphery of the island, making it impossible for slightly larger ships to approach, so small boats can only be sent there.

   Now that the electromagnetic interference is much smaller, you can try to send a helicopter over there.

  Hula la, the helicopter soared into the sky, carrying the heavily armed soldiers and headed straight for the island.

   On the island, on the halfway of a mountain, you can vaguely see a person standing there, as if staring at the plane in the sky.

  In a deep mountain somewhere in the empire, after a strong earthquake, an area that was originally shrouded in clouds and mist all year round suddenly dispersed, and a crack opened on the ground, looking like an open mouth from the sky.

   There is blue-black smoke floating out from the crack, which can be seen from a long distance.

  Because it was located deep in the mountains, this unusual place was not discovered by a herbal picker until two days later and reported to the higher authorities.

  The local Bureau of Special Affairs immediately arranged for people to fly into the deep mountains to conduct investigations, and immediately sent the captured pictures back to the rear.

   "The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. Is it an earthquake?"

   "What's the matter with the black smoke, is there volcanic activity underground?"

   "According to our known information, there is no volcano in that place."

   "Look, the plants near the crack are obviously withered and withered."

   "Is it because the smoke is poisonous?"

  The plane circled around twice, then slowly lowered its altitude, and soon some team members descended into the jungle, preparing to inspect the crack at close range.

   Not long after going down, there was a gunshot.

   "Monsters, there are monsters!"

  There was a sound of panic coming from the radio communication channel.

   "Air support, call for air support."

   "Received, received, where are you, what does the monster look like, I haven't seen any trace of the monster."

  The pilot of the helicopter circled the helicopter in mid-air, but did not see any trace of the so-called monster.

   Ah, screams came from the wireless headset. Those who went on to explore lost contact.

  On the same day, the second team entered the forest one kilometer away from the crack to search for the missing companions.

   "Captain, there is blood here."

  They found bloodstains, bullet casings, and broken clothes in the jungle.

   "Look here!" A soldier pointed to a tree trunk beside it, and there was a strange scratch on the trunk.

   "Claws? Still showing signs of corrosion."

  The search team continued to move forward, and soon found the fallen gun on the ground, still stained with blood, and the barrel was deformed.

   "Such a strong force, be careful."

  Clattering, the small drone took off and searched in the jungle, while this team maintained a defensive battle formation and was cautiously on guard.

   Soon, the drone had a harvest. After they rushed over, they found a large pool of blood on the ground, and some minced meat. The weeds on the ground were corroded by something.

   "This looks like a scene of dismemberment." One of the soldiers said softly.

   "He was eaten." The captain said after looking down carefully.

   "Look here." He pointed to the weeds on the ground.

   "Footprints?!"

   "Wherever this monster walks, it leaves this corrosive footprint."

   "This, looks like a human foot!"

   "Yes!" The captain looked up and looked around.

   Now they face this one big trouble, it's almost dark. Camping in such a jungle would be a very dangerous thing, especially if they had to face unknown monsters.

   "Go to the crack first." After a little thought, the captain decided to go to the crack first, and then led everyone to evacuate. It's too dangerous to spend the night in this jungle.

  After they walked forward for more than ten minutes, they came to the side of the crack. The length of this crack exceeded 300 meters, the widest part was nearly ten meters wide, and the narrowest part was less than two meters.

  Standing on the edge of the crack and looking down, the depth is bottomless. Blue-black smoke continuously emerged from the ground.

   Beep beep, the siren sounded.

   "The smoke is poisonous."

  Although they are all wearing gas masks. But there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof.

   "Retreat!"

  The captain immediately ordered everyone to retreat after taking pictures and sampling the soil and plants near the crack. Suddenly the captain made a warning gesture. The soldiers around immediately raised their guns and stood in battle formation.

   "What sound?" The captain heard a strange sound just now. They waited for about five minutes, but found nothing.

   "Retreat!"

  The captain made a gesture, and the team retreated immediately. They were not retreating quickly.

  Suddenly a black shadow rushed out from the forest.

   Da da da, the fire snake swallowed, the bullets poured out, three automatic rifles, dozens of bullets hit the monster, and the monster fell to the ground with a strange scream.

   After confirming that there was no movement, they moved forward cautiously, and saw a strange monster in the wild grass.

  It looks like a human being, but its blue-black body has weird scales, and there are sharp claws at the ends of its fingers and toes.

   "Pictures taken, air support called, body taken away."

   Soon the helicopter flew over and took away the group of people and the monster's body.

  It was getting dark, and suddenly there were birds flying in the woods, as if they were frightened by some kind.

  In a base, researchers are studying the monster that came from near the crack.

   "From the perspective of body structure, he is more than 95% similar to humans. The scales on the surface of the body should have mutated due to long-term survival in a special environment. His eyes are obviously different from our human eyes. They are more suitable for low-light environments. There is a poisonous substance in his blood."

   "Well, Dr. Chen, can you be more concise."

   "To put it simply, they should be humans, or mutated humans."

   "Mutated humans? Humans from underground?"

  This humanoid monster comes from underground cracks, the number is uncertain, but it must not be left alone.

   Soon, troops moved out and entered the jungle. In addition to searching for monsters, they also had to **** a group of scientific researchers to take samples and analyze near the cracks. In addition, they had to choose a suitable location and prepare to build a military base nearby.

  The troops were attacked by monsters during the operation. These monsters were so powerful that they could send people flying several meters away with a single slap. At the same time, the skin outside the body was also very hard, and one or two shots on the body would have no effect at all.

  They are also very fast, causing a lot of damage to the team, but fortunately their number is limited. They arrived near the crack without any risk, and related work started immediately.

  On Yuxiao Mountain thousands of miles away,

  The bonfire was burning, and above the bonfire was an iron pot, steaming hotly. The water is boiling, lift it up, make a cup of tea,

  Wang An held a Daozang in his hand, and read it carefully.

  A gust of mountain wind blows in through the window, carrying a hint of coolness.

   Crackling, raindrops fell and hit the leaves, and the raindrops falling from the sky were fine and dense, like cow hair.

  The first rain of spring,

  Hearing the sound of rain, Wang An put down the Daozang in his hand, looked up at the window, looked at the rain outside, his eyes drifted to a far place, and his whole body seemed to float out through the window, to the mountain outside, in mid-air, against the rain and into the sky.

  Crack, spring thunder rolls,

  Wang An's body trembled undetectably.

  He raised his hand, with the palm facing up, a ray of wind and rain outside merged into a line, passed through the window, floated in, landed on the sky above his palm, spun around, and floated out again after a circle.

   "It's raining!"

   Until nightfall, the rain did not stop.

  The next day, when the door was opened, the air outside became much fresher.

   "The vitality in this mountain seems to be a little more intense after being watered by this spring rain."

  Wang An felt the changes in the mountains. If trees have emotions, they should be happy by now.

  The mountain peach tree not far from the wooden house has grown full of young leaves and is full of vitality.

  In the mountain village, outside the old house, Li Xinzhu stopped a person, an old man with gray hair in a washed white robe.

   "This layman, he has so much vitality!" The old man looked at Li Xinzhu and exclaimed.

   "What does the old man do here?"

   "Passing by here, I'm thirsty, so ask for a bowl of water." The old man smiled.

   "Here." Li Xinzhu directly handed over a bottle of mineral water.

   "Thank you." The old man took the mineral water with a smile, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

   "Well, it's a bit cold. Is there any heat? I'm getting old and have a bad stomach?"

   "Yes, come with me."

  Li Xinzhu took the old man to the place where he lived and gave him a bowl of hot water.

   "Thank you." The old man took the water and took a sip. "Well, it's still mountain spring water. How can I thank you after drinking this bowl of water from you?"

   "You're welcome." Li Hsinchu waved his hand.

   "Why don't I make a fortune for you." The old man said with a smile.

   "Foretelling, what can the old man count?"

"What do you want to know?"

   "When will I become a fairy?"

   "Huh?" The old man's raised hand hung in the air.

   "The young man was joking."

   "This one is difficult, so let's change it. When will I be able to fly?" Li Xinzhu pointed to the sky. The old man coughed twice.

   "If you can't figure it out, then please."

   "Young man, you have a great opportunity, but you also have a great disaster." The old man said.

   "Turn left when going out, walk slowly."

  The old man went out and headed towards the old house, but was stopped by Li Xinzhu within a few steps.

   "Is there something else for young people?"

   "What are you doing there?"

   "Well, I want to see the layman in that old house."

   "What's the reason?" Li Xinzhu asked, staring at the old man.

   "I'm a little hungry, looking for something to eat."

   "Whatever you want to eat, I have it at home." Li Xinzhu said, and the old man smiled.

   "Hey, the layman looks at me like a thief?"

   "From the entrance of the village to this place, you have passed dozens of houses, and why did you come here to beg for water?"

  The old man was silent for a while after hearing this, "I want to see Wang An."

   Sure enough, I am willing to tell the truth, Li Xinzhu thought after hearing this.

"he's not here."

   "Then he is on Yuxiao Mountain?" The old man continued to ask.

   "What does the old man want from him?"

   "Ask him some questions."

   "He doesn't see any visitors."

  The old man nodded after hearing this, "Thank you layman for the water, sorry for bothering you." After speaking, he turned and left the mountain village.

   "Strange old man." Li Xinzhu said softly as he watched the old man leave.

   After noon, a guest came down from Yuxiao Mountain, officially the old man who went to the mountain village in the morning.

   "It's majestic and beautiful, but it's a treasure." He looked at the Yuxiao Mountain in front of him and said.

   Then he went up the mountain. An old man in his seventies was walking alone in the mountain. He didn't seem to be walking fast, but he walked a long way in the mountain in a short while.

   "Someone went up the mountain?"

  In the wooden house, Wang An sensed the old man going up the mountain.

   "Oh, it's finally here!" The old man looked at the wooden house not far away and let out a sigh of relief.
