Chapter 997： Snake plague 4

"Very easy to explain? What do you mean by that?" Guo Wendong frowned and looked at Wang Yuquan, and asked with a puzzled face, some of whom didn't quite understand what Wang Yuquan meant.

Wang Yuquan leaned against the wall and said calmly: "I have read in books that most snakes have poor eyesight, so snakes mainly rely on their body's thermal sensors and sense of smell. Catching prey, especially these animals that live underground all the year round, has obvious deterioration of vision... But snakes are cold-blooded animals, some snakes will chase torches because of their own relationship, and want to draw heat to maintain vitality. This feeling is similar to Crocodiles need to bask in the sun frequently to maintain their body temperature to maintain their vitality. The higher the temperature, the stronger their vitality... These snakes are probably for this reason, so they have been chasing us."

"Hey... don't they all say that animals are afraid of fire? How can there be such a strange statement?" Guo Wendong frowned in dissatisfaction.

"There is indeed such a saying." Qin Feng, who had been standing by the side and had not spoken, opened his mouth at this time. He nodded and confirmed Wang Yuquan's words: "We used to be in the field survival class. I mentioned such a thing from time to time. It’s just that I have been in the army for so many years and have never encountered such a thing, so I completely forgot about it and didn’t think about it.”

"So it looks like... we have to use less torches in this underground tomb? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can escape from Shekou again." Song Rong sighed and put the torch in her hand. As if venting his anger, he rolled on the ground and extinguished the torch.

They now have a total of two torches in the team, and they extinguished one, leaving only the one in Wang Yuquan's hand.

Guo Wendong looked at the torch in Wang Yuquan's hand with lingering fears. This thing really didn't work and it didn't work. If it was lit, he had to worry about it happening again. Now, in this situation,

"That's right, this torch is really harmful."

"Captain Qin, if these snakes are chasing us, it is because of these two torches...then now, the torches in our hands have not been extinguished, but the snakes in the back have not caught up again. What is the reason? Captain Qin, do you know? Could it be that we ran into the territory of other animals? And these animals are precisely the ones that the group of snakes dare not approach?" Just when everyone was wondering why the snakes would chase after them, But Pei Yian suddenly opened his mouth to express the doubts in his heart.

"Sister Yi'an, don't scare me! According to you, didn't we just escape from the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth?" Song Rong rubbed the goose bumps on her arm, looking around vigilantly. , In the dark bluestone tunnel, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit eerie.

The rest of the people feel the same way.

Qin Feng glanced around and found nothing unusual, but his face was very serious, "Miss Pei's words are indeed very reasonable. There are so many strange things in this underground tomb, and let us It’s normal to encounter animal attacks one after another, and it’s normal to encounter other things. We still quickly find a way to leave this place, and when we return to the camp, I will suggest to Wu Lao and the others to mine directly from above... Although it is possible It will destroy these underground cultural relics, but these are not the most important things compared to everyone's life safety!"
