Chapter 189 The Disappearing Corpse
Regarding the issue between Wu Xie and his third uncle, let's put it aside for now.
The most urgent task right now is to find those people who exchanged fire just now.
Whether it's the man in black or Wu Sansheng, as long as you find a group of them, you can solve some mysteries.
But problems also followed. They rushed here as soon as they heard the gunshots.
The last gunshot was ten minutes ago. When they arrived here, they didn't even see anyone.
In just ten minutes, these people must not have run far with a wounded person.
But they searched the area within a radius of [-] meters, but they didn't find any traces, not even the footprints of leaving!
Where are these people?
People are puzzled by this, could it be possible to put on wings and fly?
At this time, Ji Changsheng suddenly thought of something, he hurried forward to check it out, and sure enough, he found something.
I saw a not-so-obvious mark on the ground. The blood was mixed with some mud, which looked like it was dragging on the ground.
"Follow me all!"
Ji Changsheng didn't explain, but just followed this trail to the depths of the dense forest.
The others quickly followed.
This trace became shallower and shallower, and after extending for more than 200 meters, it finally disappeared.
Ji Changsheng stopped under a big tree and looked up.
The fat man came up and asked.
"Mr. Ji, did you find anything?"
Ji Changsheng nodded and pointed at the big tree.
"They're in the trees!"
Everyone looked up and saw that there were some traces on the trunk!
Immediately, they all showed puzzled looks.
"Why are they climbing trees?"
Ji Changsheng was just about to answer.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the top of the tree.
This sound is very familiar to people, it is the sound of a cockscomb snake crawling!
Moreover, many snakes are crawling together to make this sound!
Everyone's face tightened, they drew their guns one after another, formed a circle back to back, and looked nervously at the top of the tree.
Looking at it this way, an extremely terrifying and strange scene appeared!
On the top of a big tree tens of meters high, a blood-red thing was wriggling in an extremely weird way, like a huge red meat ball!
"I'll go, what the hell is that!"
The fat man raised his gun, his legs trembling with fright at this scene.
That thing is so weird, like an alien creature from a sci-fi movie!
Ji Changsheng said with such an expression on his face.
"It's a herd of snakes."
When everyone heard this, they quickly took out their binoculars and took a closer look.
Sure enough, just as Ji Changsheng said, the red meat ball was actually countless cockscomb snakes huddling together into a ball!
They hugged each other tightly and entangled with each other, looking like a red meat ball from a distance.
Jack immediately exclaimed and said.
"I remembered that when some snakes are mating, this kind of snake cluster will appear!"
"Many male snakes mate with the same female snake and entangle each other like this!"
Then, he showed a puzzled look again.
"But these cockscomb snakes are clearly not reproductive, why are they hugging each other?"
After thinking for a while, the fat man said.
"Hey, have you heard of anti-food?"
Jack shook his head blankly.
"I haven't heard of it, what is that?"
The fat man smiled badly and explained.
"That's a kind of reward given to eunuchs by ancient emperors. Eunuchs are fake men, and they can no longer have sex with women."
"But with the emperor's permission, they can pretend to be husband and wife with court ladies and sit and eat together."
"It's just a show. Although it's not satisfying physically, it's a kind of psychological comfort."
"This is called pairing food."
Jack is a straight person, frowning.
"But what does the ancient eunuch have to do with these snakes?"
The fat man pointed at the top of the tree and said with a smile.
"These cockscombed snakes are like eunuchs. They don't have that ability anymore, but they can show off."
"It's kind of a consolation."
Only then did Jack understand what he meant, and suddenly felt that this statement was unreasonable.
"Humans are advanced animals with thoughts, but snakes have no thoughts and feelings. What psychological comfort do they need?"
"It's just nonsense!"
The fat man said unconvinced.
"Perhaps they have seen the queen mating and just imitated instinctively?"
"How else would you explain this?"
Although Jack disagreed with his point of view, he couldn't explain this weird phenomenon.
At this time, Ji Changsheng said.
"The fat man is really talking nonsense this time. These snakes are not imitating mating."
"Think about it carefully, besides snakes, is there any other animal that behaves like this?"
After thinking for a while, everyone shook their heads blankly.
Only Wuxie's eyes lit up, and he said immediately.
"Ant!"
"Ants do this when they're transporting large prey!"
Although ants are very powerful, when they encounter particularly large prey, they will call their companions to carry it together.
That scene was exactly the same as these cockscombed snakes!
More importantly, the ants responsible for carrying food are all worker ants, and these sexless cockscomb snakes are worker ants in the snake colony, aren't they?
Only then did Ji Changsheng nod his head.
"Yes, they are carrying corpses!"
As soon as the words came out, people took out their binoculars to look again.
Taking a closer look, it was indeed the same as what Ji Changsheng said.
These snakes cooperate with each other to slowly crawl on the top of the tree in a characteristic way, which seems to be wriggling.
And in the group of snakes, a person's hand suddenly appeared!
Don't think about it, this person must be dead.
The fat man's face changed, and he felt sick and hairy for a while.
"Damn, no matter whose corpse it is, I won't allow it to be trampled by snakes like this!"
After all, raise the gun and shoot.
Ji Changsheng stopped him, shook his head and said.
"Don't shoot yet, they're still useful."
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly.
"What's the use?"
Wu Xie immediately thought of Ji Changsheng's intention.
"Fatty, where do ants usually move when they carry food?"
Fatty blurted out.
"Of course I'm moving home. Could it be that I'm moving to the second-hand goods market?"
When he finished saying this, he suddenly woke up.
"These snakes are moving the dead bodies back home, to their lair!"
Ji Changsheng nodded.
"That's right, as long as we follow them, we will be able to find the cockscomb snake's lair!"
Everyone turned pale with fright. How many snakes must there be in these cockscombed snakes' lairs!
They were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it, but Ji Changsheng still wanted to go to other people's houses, which was too much for him!
Innocent said quickly.
"Mr. Ji, but our top priority is to find someone first?"
Ji Changsheng laughed.
"Actually, you don't need to look for it deliberately, whether it's the man in black, Wu Sanxing, or Chen Wenjin."
"The final destination of these people is a ghost town. We can find them as long as we find the ghost town."
"And the lair of these snakes is in the ghost town!"
The most urgent task right now is to find those people who exchanged fire just now.
Whether it's the man in black or Wu Sansheng, as long as you find a group of them, you can solve some mysteries.
But problems also followed. They rushed here as soon as they heard the gunshots.
