Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Long-winged Swallowtail

"There's a ghost!" I yelled out of control, and that Paul's face suddenly turned back, and that figure disappeared into the narrow passage in an instant. "Don't yell suddenly, okay, scare me!" Chen Jing punched me angrily. "Scared me to death!" I kept patting my chest. "I was scared to death by you, it's nothing, why are you yelling!" Chen Jing said, staring at me. "I saw Paul just now, in that aisle, his clothes are still wet!" I said nervously. "How is it possible, he is already dead! Isn't his skeleton still here?" Chen Jing kicked the skeleton after speaking.

"Jin Wei, are you overly frightened and misread?" Xinhong asked me. "Wrong? Impossible." My voice was very low, and I wondered if I was really wrong.But I could see it clearly just now with the light of the endless fire, how could there be any mistakes.But in fact Paul is dead, isn't his body still here?And I saw him die with my own eyes.Am I really wrong?After Chen Jing vented her complaints to me, she began to think about where the temple where the handed down gods were placed.Because I was still very concerned about what I saw just now, I insisted on asking them to go and have a look with me.There is nothing unusual in the stone path, it has been artificially carved very delicately, and there are still patterns of clouds on it, but there are no patterns of gods.There are still some traces of water on the stone path, and after passing through the stone path, you can see the luxuriant female tree.

The female tree has calmed down now, and there are many translucent fleshy balls formed on it, and there are probably no babies that are going to be born in the morning.There was some trembling in the crown of the tree, and then suddenly there was a strange beeping sound in the trunk.Xinhong saw that there was still a small passage in the cave, so he went over to check it, and found that it was leading to the front hall.So the cave with the female tree should be in the middle of the two halls.I wanted to find out why the crown of the tree suddenly moved, and why the trunk made a sudden noise, so I rolled up my sleeves, bit my lip and began to climb up.When I climbed two or three meters, a group of black shadows suddenly flew out from the thick leaves of the female tree.I trembled violently in fright, and fell to the ground as soon as I let go of my hands.Seeing this, Chen Jing immediately broke off a branch, and shot the branch at the black shadow.The black shadow flew too slowly, it was shot by the branch, and fell to the ground with a whoosh.It struggled on the ground and flapped its wings. It turned out to be a huge butterfly!The wings of this butterfly are as long as 30 centimeters, and its body and wings are of very beautiful colors, there are many kinds, and it looks very beautiful.

I wanted to go over to see the butterfly clearly, but Chen Jing stopped me.I suddenly woke up, by the way, every time this butterfly appears, people will die, Paul, big dog, and ape-man are not examples like this, can butterflies also kill people?I subconsciously took a step back.Chen Jing said to us: "Tear off a piece of cloth from your clothes!" "Ah? Tear up the clothes?" I didn't understand what Chen Jing wanted to do, why would she tear up the clothes when she had nothing to do. "If you want to survive, tear it up quickly!" Chen Jing said firmly.It seems she wasn't joking, and she didn't seem to be joking with us either.

We tore our clothes and tore off a large piece of cloth.Chen Jing asked us to put a cloth between the nose and mouth, simply put it as a mask.Chen Jing is so serious, it seems that this butterfly has a lot of background.We covered our mouths and noses with cloths, and the butterfly was still struggling on the ground, flapping its wings and trying to fly, but it just couldn't.I searched my memory, and it seems that there is no record of such a butterfly in any ancient book. Could it be some ancient creature that has not been recorded in history?There are so many messy things in this temple.But this butterfly can kill Paul and the others in an instant without any scars, so it is right for us to be careful.

"I don't know why this long-winged swallowtail butterfly is in this temple?" Chen Jing had already made a cloth to cover her mouth and nose. "Long-winged swallowtail? Are you saying that this butterfly is called long-winged swallowtail?" Xinhong asked. "Well, the wings and the whole body of the long-winged swallowtail butterfly are covered with very small scales. It is because of the wonderful combination of these scales of different colors that their body surfaces will show colorful patterns and patterns. They The scales are so tiny and poisonous that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can only be seen with a microscope."

"What kind of poison can it have on its scales, which can make Paul and the others die instantly?" I imitated Chen Jing and tightened the cloth covering his face, for fear that I would die suddenly like Paul. up. "The scales of the long-winged swallowtail butterfly contain a large amount of cardiotonic steroid toxin. Some birds and snakes will keep away from it after smelling it. Especially when the long-winged swallowtail butterfly is flying and struggling, the strong cardiotonic steroid toxin on it will be emitted directly. In the air, if we are sucked into the body, think about what will happen to us?" Chen Jing said.

"No wonder Paul, the big dog and those ape-men can't find any scars on their bodies, so that's how it is." The cloud of suspicion on Xinhong's face also dissipated. "Why do you seem to be familiar with this butterfly? Why haven't I seen any records about it in history books?" I asked Chen Jing suspiciously. "Because I can often see long-winged swallowtail butterflies in the place where I live, and I am afraid that this kind of highly poisonous butterfly is abundant in the whole world." "You don't mean that this butterfly came from Africa?" I guessed.

"That's right, the long-winged swallowtail is indeed from Africa!" Chen Jing said. Chen Jing and Xin Hong just looked at the long-winged swallowtail butterfly from a distance. They didn't dare to go there because they were afraid that the cardiotonic toxin in the air would enter the body from their eyes.I was still thinking, this long-winged swallowtail came from Africa, so how could it appear in our Chinese land, and it was still in a temple built thousands of years ago.Did China already have contact with Africa thousands of years ago?This long-winged swallowtail butterfly must have evolved a lot.There is no light, no flowers and plants here, and its survival shows that it is also a strong man of nature.This butterfly is probably also used to guard the Tianshan Temple. It can kill people invisible, it is indeed very powerful.

"This butterfly is much larger than the ones I've seen before, and its patterns are not as gorgeous as usual," Chen Jing pinched her nose and said, "It must be very poisonous, no wonder Paul and the others immediately It just died. It is no longer an ordinary long-winged swallowtail butterfly, how could it become so abnormal?" I was still standing next to the trunk of the female tree, not daring to walk over easily. Just now I heard a strange muffled sound in the trunk, and the wide crown was shaking slightly. Could it be that the female tree has other things besides producing human beings? what secret?I tapped the thick tree trunk lightly with my hand, and the sound it made was a bit crisp, and there were bursts of hazy echoes.Is this tree trunk empty?The female tree is already several thousand years old, and the diameter of the trunk is more than one meter. If it is really empty, then it should not be difficult to walk through it.

"Xinhong, come here quickly," I called to Xinhong and the others, "there may be something wrong with this tree trunk." "What's the matter, what's the problem with this tree trunk?" Chen Jing walked over quickly, she thumped the tree trunk lightly, and a buzzing sound came from inside, Chen Jing's face changed, she seemed very surprised, At this time, Xinhong also came to knock on the trunk, and the sound made by the trunk seemed very strange in this cave. "Could there be a passage in this tree trunk?" Xinhong said while knocking on the tree trunk. "Maybe it leads to the main hall. Think about it, this is the center of the front hall and the back hall!" Chen Jing said excitedly. "You're right," I touched the Nvshu and said, "But if the passage of the main hall is really in the Nvshu, but this temple was built thousands of years ago, then the Nvshu really Is it this big already?" Nian Sihong and Chen Jing were immediately stunned after hearing what I said.When I was still in the apse just now, I saw Paul clearly, and the scene at that time is still clearly imprinted in my mind.The endless flames reflected Paul's face. His eyes were alive and his face was rosy. It was completely different from the Uncle Zou I had dreamed about. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless.Later we came to the cave with the female tree, the crown of the female tree was shaking slightly, and then the trunk also made a strange muffled sound.At that time, I seem to remember that Paul's clothes seemed to be wet in the firelight.Was what I saw a ghost?But I felt even more that what I saw was a human being.The canopy shook just now. Could it be that the Paul I saw got into the trunk, but Paul is indeed dead. I saw him die with my own eyes. What is going on? Xinhong and Chen Jing had already begun to climb up the female tree slowly. I was afraid of the danger of staying under the female tree alone, so I also hurriedly climbed up.Chen Jing saw that I was also climbing towards the canopy from above, so she yelled at me: "Don't come up, stay below!" "Why should I stay below?" I asked Chen Jing with difficulty.For me, this female tree is really difficult to climb, and this guy Chen Jing told me to go down again, so I climbed in vain. "You came up, who threw the endless tree up? If the trunk is really empty in a while, you can take a photo with the endless tree to see what's inside! You will really cause trouble!" Chen Jing The temper came again. I slid down from the tree slowly, and accidentally fell half a meter from the ground. This time, my buttocks fell off a few flowers firmly.I gritted my teeth and stood up. How could my butt hurt so badly? Could it be a pelvic fracture?They couldn't climb up, but they couldn't grab the Endless Wood and bring them up together, so I was left alone. Don't run out of some kind of weird creature that I haven't seen before. My heart is as fragile as it is now. A hundred-year-old man.Xinhong and the others had already climbed to the top of the tree, and Chen Jing yelled at me, telling me to quickly throw the endless tree up.I couldn't stop looking at the wood, it was still burning, how could I throw it on it when it was so hot.The last time I killed the king, I was forced to grab the endless tree, and now my hand still hurts.Do you want me to grab the endless wood with bare hands again this time?I hesitated for a while, but I didn't go over and couldn't catch the wood. "What are you doing, hurry up! Why are you dawdling!" Chen Jing was showing off her power again. Can't a girl be more polite? After listening to Chen Jing's "African Lion's Roar", I felt unhappy for a while.I didn't know where to run away with my rationality. I grabbed the endless tree with my hand and threw it towards the crown of the female tree. Chen Jing stared at the flying tree and threw it After hitting into the trunk, there was a plopping sound inside, the trunk was indeed empty!The smell of barbecue came out of my palm, and I opened my palm to see that there were several big blisters on it.When I climbed the tree, my palms touched the rough bark, and it felt like a lot of sand was stuffed into the eyes.Xinhong and Chen Jing were still waiting for me up there.I managed to climb up, but the canopy of the tree had been artificially cut off a large section, the heart of the tree was hollowed out, and the endless flames were still flickering underneath.However, when we looked down from above, the flames were very dim and unreal at all, which showed that the hand hole was quite deep, and it seemed that the space underneath was not small. The luxuriant branches and leaves of the female tree began to shake, and those translucent meat balls also began to burst, and a light yellow liquid flowed out from inside, and babies got out of the meat balls, and the tree was full of such babies.Now that the king is dead, they will not be eaten by the king all at once, but their life is only one day, if they all die in the cave, wouldn't there be many corpses in this cave.This female tree can give birth to a lot of people in a day, and this is not bad. If people outside the cave know about it, it will definitely cause an uproar.Xinhong and Chen Jing said they wanted to go down into the tree hole, because the tree hole was neither messy nor narrow, and it was not difficult to support the surroundings with their hands and feet.I'm worried that I'm too fat, what if the tree hole is blocked later.So, I asked Xinhong and the others to go down first.After a while, the two of them came to the bottom of the tree hole. I called them several times from above, but I couldn't hear their answer.But I could see it clearly from above, they were still standing below, and they didn't speak at all.I held my breath and slid down slowly. The hole in the tree trunk is really long, about ten meters long.From the top all the way to a huge space underground.I fell to the ground with a plop, just about to lose my temper and scold them for not answering me, but when I opened my eyes and saw the scene in front of me, I was so stunned that I couldn't even say a word.
