Chapter 54 Head

We both dared to slide down the sand slope and came to the ground there to check.

But no matter how we look at it, there seems to be nothing strange there. At first, we were careful to guard against the flowing sand, but later, we found that the sand layer here was very stable.

Nobita turned around a few times, grabbed his head and said, "It's strange. Everything seems to be normal here."

I nodded and squatted down to dig open the sand layer. Nobita clenched the pistol to keep watch for me.

I carefully dug the sand little by little, and dug about half a meter, and suddenly found a black thing under the ground appearing in front of me.

I was shocked, and a layer of white sweat suddenly appeared on my head and said to Daxiong, "This seems to be a human head!"

Daxiong hurried over to have a look, and also took a breath of cold air.

The thing buried in the sand is spherical, and the hair is only one inch long, and it is very sparse. The skin color is black and green, dry and full of wrinkles, but the facial features are not visible, which is extremely scary.

Daxiong was bolder than me. After being surprised for a while, he pulled out the dagger in his waist, dug open the fine sand on the man's head, poked it with the tip of the knife, and a green juice flowed out from under his skin.

After we looked at it for a while, Daxiong laughed and said, "Comrade Nie, are you too nervous? This is just a withered cactus ball. As a biologist, I didn't find it!"

I came up and couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was indeed a fairy ball!

I said it's too strange. There are no wild cactus plants in the desert of China. It can only be seen in the deserts of America and Australia. Is it artificially transplanted here? So what kind of person transplanted it?

And this fairy ball is too much like a human head in both size and shape, especially the thorns on it, which are twisted because of dryness, very much like human hair.

Because we don't have tools on hand, we can't dig deeper, so we decided to go back and talk about it.

Nobita and I packed up our things. When we saw that the watch had passed one o'clock in the middle of the night, we climbed up the sand dunes and prepared to go back.

When he came to the top of the dune, Nobita couldn't help looking back and almost rolled down from the dune.

I asked him what was going on, but he didn't answer and said to me, "Wait here for a while. There's something wrong down there."

I came out in a hurry at night. I didn't have time to wear glasses, so I could only see darkness when I looked down the slope.

Nobita slid down the sand dunes, stopped halfway, and then looked in place.

I heard him read from afar, "Damn it, it's impossible..."

Seeing that he had been watching there, I also wanted to slide down to see what was going on, and saw that Nobita had taken out a gun from his back.

Two sudden gunshots cut through the silence of the night sky, and my whole body trembled.

After shooting two shots, Nobita climbed up with four legs and shouted to me while climbing: "Run! That thing is crawling out of the pit!"

I was stunned for a moment and felt incredible. I couldn't help but take a step back. I stepped on the soft sand dunes and began to slip. I immediately fell down and rolled down to the other side of the sand dunes.

I only felt that the sky was spinning in front of me. I don't know how many times I rolled, and finally stopped.

As soon as I fixed my body, I saw Nobita rolling down like a meat ball. I hurriedly dodged aside and dodged.

I ran to help him get up. He gasped and said, "Let's go!" Hurry up! There are too many. I don't know what the hell it is!"

Without thinking about it, we ran wildly in the desert.

But without running a few steps, I heard a "poof" not far ahead, and a wisp of yellow sand raised more than two meters high.

Nobita hurriedly grabbed me and gasped, "Don't move! It's strange."

We stood where we were, sweating on our foreheads, but suddenly it became quiet again.

Nobita looked back and heard him say in a low voice, "My God, it's over!"

I also looked back and saw some black shadows squirming on the sand dunes behind me, and I don't know how many are dense.

They move like lizards, looking like people, but with long tails, large heads, and two white spots like eyes on their backs.

These things climbed so fast that some of them even rolled down the dunes, and the nearest one was only 20 meters away from us.

Seeing that those things had crawled to us at a high speed, I pulled Nobita's sleeve and said, "What are you waiting for? Shoot!"

Nobita made a silent gesture, telling me not to speak, then turned his head and looked around and whispered, "Don't you feel it? There is a movement under the sand. There is a big guy at our feet. As soon as you move or make a sound, you will be swallowed like those camels..."

Hearing what he said, I calmed down and felt the movement of the ground.

Sure enough, I felt a little imperceptible vibration coming from the soles of my feet. Although it was extremely subtle, it could never be done by something small.

I thought to myself, what is this? Is it a giant snake or a scorpion, is it a huge earthworm? There is a shortage of food in this desert, how can there be huge creatures? What does it eat?

Thinking about it, the clothes on my back were soaked with sweat.

At this time, the lizard-like thing had rushed five or six meters in front of us, and a bad smell like some kind of plant being crushed came to our faces.

I whispered to Nobita, "Run. Standing here is just a matter of who will eat it."

Nobita motioned me to wait, and then pointed to the front.

Looking forward, I was a little surprised, because those lizard-like things stopped five meters away from us and lined up.

At this time, I saw clearly that these things are not human beings, but indeed huge lizards, but because the head is relatively small, the face is shorter than that of ordinary lizards, and the neck is slender, so it looks more like a human. I was misled by preconceived ideas.

But even lizards are very strange. First of all, this huge lizard is very rare, and the world's largest Komodo giant lizard is the same, and there is no such big lizard in China.

With my knowledge and experience, I can't tell what kind of subordinate these lizards are.

But looking at the countless thorns on the heads of those lizards standing up, I knew that the fairy ball we dug in the sand before was this, and Daxiong actually poked other people's heads with a knife.

Lizards are cold-blooded animals. They are more active when the sun is high during the day. At night, they usually sleep in the sand, because a certain temperature can be preserved under the sand.

If it weren't for strong external stimulation, these cold-blooded animals would generally not attack people at night, so we were unlucky and dug out this thing.

The lizards hissed, and the white spots on their necks bulged slightly. They seemed to be warning and as if they were expressing anger and surrounded us, but they didn't dare to get close.

We are in a dilemma. We remember that the general novel describes that after meeting some strange creatures, it often benefits from the timely appearance of its natural enemies, and the protagonist can escape under the fight on both sides. This plot is indeed old-fashioned, but this is not unreasonable.

Any species in the world has natural enemies, and they must live in the same area. This is the relationship between predation and predation and the law of nature.

If there are really any huge creatures in the ground, I can't think of anything else to fill its stomach except to prey on these lizards.

But the facts seem to be different from those in the novel. The lizards just waited for a moment, and then one of the huge guys made a loud cry, and the other lizards rushed up one after another.

Listening to the rustling sound of countless sharp claws and watching the countless shadows sweeping in front of me, my scalp was about to explode, and I couldn't control so much anymore. I pulled Nobita to run away.

As I ran forward, I expected that the big guy under the ground would suddenly rise up and fight with the group of giant lizards, but it ran out more than 20 meters, but there was no movement underground.

At this time, I remembered a sentence my mother said to me, don't compare speed with fierce animals in the wild. You can never run four feet.

As soon as he thought of this, a sticky thing flew from behind and wrapped around Nobita's neck.
