Chapter 1246 Stone Necklace and Ring
"Ever since we saw the shadow on the tent, Baker and I have become nervous. We don't know what kind of monster that thing is, where it comes from, and what it will do to us. Because I have been talking to those Inuit When people hunt together, they also have the illusion that they know enough about this ice sheet, but the Inuit shamans always say that you must be in awe of nature, because you don’t know how much is buried in this world. Secret, I always didn’t take this sentence seriously in the past, but after that night I realized how shallow my previous knowledge was.”
"If it weren't for this expedition, I would never have known that such a terrifying creature existed in the world. And the most important thing is that I didn't know how to deal with it. Its tentacles move very quickly, and once it is entangled, it will It's a dead end, but long-range attack bullets don't seem to cause much damage to it, and with the snowstorm as cover, it seems to have no weaknesses. We can only gamble on luck every time we come, but luck can't always favor us. , we all don’t know who will be the victim when it comes again next time.
"It's not just us, I can feel that the scientists are also a little panicked. The geologists and meteorologists have gone to see Mr. Taim, hoping to terminate the expedition immediately and return to Nuuk. But just like me, Their request was also rejected. On the contrary, the theologian couple looked the calmest. No, it may not be accurate to use the word calm to describe them. I don’t know if it was my imagination, but the look of the woman among them was actually a little... Excited, she and her man had been chatting about something, but they were speaking in Chinese, and no one in the expedition team knew what they were talking about except the two of them.
"Although I can't understand what they are saying, my intuition tells me that they are probably one of the few people in the expedition team who really know what happened. Especially considering their identities, what happened in front of us is obviously beyond Without the scope of scientific explanation, perhaps the only way to find the answer is from theology.
"My English can only be used for some simple communication, and I haven't reached the level where I can communicate with people fluently, so I asked Dr. Baker to contact them, hoping to get some information from them, and I didn't expect to get any information from them. I found a way to deal with that monster, and at least I had to die to understand it. But what I didn't expect was that the doctor actually gave me a surprise when he came back in the evening.
"It was an inconspicuous oval-shaped pebble with a five-pointed star engraved on it, and in the center of the five-pointed star was a somewhat mysterious eye. The doctor said that this thing is called an old seal, and it has a Mysterious powers may protect us from that monster.
"To be honest, I was a little hesitant at first, because I didn't know how an ordinary pebble could resist that terrifying monster. But considering our situation at that time, it was like a person about to drown. We needed to hold on tightly. I grabbed everything I could grab, and strangely enough, I don't know if it was my imagination, but when I fell asleep clutching that pebble at night, I didn't have any more nightmares.
"Although I was woken up by the doctor next to me in the middle of the night talking in his sleep. Early the next morning, he told me that he had another very scary dream. He dreamed of a huge city with many giant stone pillars. The city was filled with wall-to-wall hieroglyphs and a green, omnipresent goo.
"The doctor seemed a little distracted after he woke up. Seeing that his mental condition was not very good, Mr. Taim came over to comfort him and let him rest in the camp for a day. However, the others continued to search as usual, except for those There was no change in expressions, only the soldiers who carried out the orders were a little panicked. Only the Chinese theologian and his wife were still in high spirits.
"Because of the stone issue, I applied to join their team, which would make me feel safer, but as expected, Mr. Taim rejected it. He said that I was the guide in the team and the most familiar with this ice sheet. People should shoulder more responsibilities, so I could only continue to work with two retired soldiers. After that, we limited the search area to the area where the fossils were found, and also used drills and explosives to break the ice.
"But we didn't get much results in the next week. I told the doctor that the stone could prevent nightmares, and then we used it in rotation. This ensured that we could sleep well one night in two days, and our spirits were also good. It got better until a week later when we lost a squad.
"It was a team led by a geologist. Besides him, there were three retired soldiers. But in the end, only one person escaped from the terrible snowstorm. Everyone was silent during the meal in the evening because many people were aware of If this continues, the entire expedition team may be wiped out before long."
"Unexpectedly, just when everyone was in a low mood, the monster appeared again, and this time it didn't summon a blizzard to protect itself. It just rushed towards us, and this was the first time I could see its appearance clearly. I was completely frightened at the time. Although I had heard doctors describe its appearance before and saw its shadow on the tent, when I saw its body, I still felt that there was nothing like this in the world. A more terrifying creature.
"Even the demons from hell described in the Bible are not as ugly and disgusting as it. I was so scared that I stood there completely frozen and felt like I couldn't move a little finger, especially when I found out that its target was me. At that time, I was completely frightened. Fortunately, the doctor next to me reacted quickly and took out the pebble from his pocket. Today it was his turn to carry that thing, and he put the pebble on my body. In the next moment, a miracle happened. The ugly monster stopped and then rushed towards the Chinese couple.
"The result was that the two of them calmly took out a necklace and a ring. One had the same pattern as the stone, and the other had a string of branch-like things carved on it, and the monster was there. After seeing it, he turned around again and rushed towards a retired soldier next to him. The latter shot at it, but just like before, the bullet had little effect on it. The monster caught him and brutally attacked him with its tentacles. Pierce his heart.
"Then the monster started looking for a new target, and it set its sights on Mr. Taime. At that moment, I think it realized that Mr. Taime was our leader, so it also adjusted its combat strategy and decided Let’s kill Mr. Taime first.”
