Leon said: "What else? It seems that none of you are really professional climbers. Once the route is wrong, you can't go along. We have to do a good job of surveying and drawing a map. I need to go to those camps and then I took the distance measurement items and started from the 8th camp. We can't walk in this complicated deep hole in a silly way."

The complexity of the matter exceeded their imagination, and they did not know what to do at the moment. These people who had always been confident began to become overwhelmed, and their thinking became somewhat chaotic and disordered.

The Georgian said: "But if you are all right, why change the route? Could it be that he learned that the 8th camp was buried by a landslide, and then ran up by himself, attacked his teammates, and chose a new one? route?"

Celens said: "No, the people in the 8th camp will inform us, and the reason why the assailant attacked is definitely not because it was a simple escape. If you want to escape, you should have multiple people working together."

Li Xiaochong said: "It must have something to do with the stone, and perhaps it has something to do with what Leon said about the mysterious organization."

After speaking, I saw that Li Xiaochong took a gray-green slate from the stone wall and looked at everyone with a smile.

Leon said, "Did you find any strange creatures again?"

Li Xiaochong said: "When I was doing research, I once wrote a paper. In the early Cambrian, there was a creature older than moss. It looked like a kind of stone, called stone moss. Growing stone moss is the source of the evolution of all living things on the earth, but this type of stone moss is difficult to see, and I can only identify it after careful observation. Many colleagues in the biological world laugh at me and always think that I regard stones as living things."

The only thing worthy of excitement is the new discoveries of Li Xiaochong's biology. These discoveries can make him forget the fear and depression he is in instantly.Lyon also understood Li Xiaochong's feelings. He was also observing some subtle changes in the crustal rock layer. Many unexpected discoveries made him feel excited.

Leon smiled and said, "Congratulations on your discovery. Are there more moss like this in this kind of cave?"

Li Xiaochong said: "There must be on the surface, but the surface environment is changeable, so this kind of stone moss is destroyed and it is not easy to study, and in this kind of deep cave, this kind of stone moss is not damaged, so it can be easily studied. ."

Li Xiaochong took out a thick bid book from his schoolbag, opened the book, and saw that it contained a lot of strange creatures since he entered the cave.

Celens curiously took the bidding book from Li Xiaochong and looked through the contents.Li Xiaochong is proud to talk about his discoveries since he entered the cave. He also believes that this cave may also be the ancestors of all living things, which is very suitable for biological evolution research.

Silens was surprised to take out something like a small glass shard from the bidding book and said, "Isn't this a crystal? This is also a living thing?"

Li Xiaochong said: "This is a kind of glass worm. This is an ancient living creature. It hasn't evolved to a cell like ours. It has a slower metabolism. It has a better response ability than koalas. I don’t know how slow it is. Since the competitive environment here is not fierce, there may be no natural enemies, and it can feed on limestone, so it can survive in such an environment. And..."

Leon interrupted and said, "Also, it's probably a silicon creature? Is it like we talked about during correspondence?"

Celens said in surprise: "You are a silicon creature? It's amazing, can you leave me a memorial."

Although Cylens does not understand biology, he knows that the concept of silicon organisms has appeared in biology, which is completely different from carbon organisms like humans, and will only appear on planets completely different from the earth.However, there were silicon creatures in the deep holes of the earth, which was the first time he had heard of it.

Seeing that Cylens was also interested in this, Li Xiaochong said proudly: "No problem, there are many such things in the hole. I can pick one at random."

Li Xiaochong said: "There are many creatures that feed on stones, and we can cook them."

Celens said, "Excuse me, you said you want to eat them?"

Li Xiaochong said to Lyon, "Of course, I am not only a biologist, but also a gourmet. There is also an explorer like me in your country who loves to eat all kinds of wild insects."

Leon said: "He is so famous, of course I know it. But, have you eaten bugs in the hole? How does it taste?"

Li Xiaochong said: "It's very good. Even if it doesn't taste, I can add some pepper, cumin, spicy powder, or some stone pillars with salt. These can be used as my condiments, and I ask people on the ground to give me I have shipped a lot of seasoning.” After speaking, I took a milky white bug and bake it with my own small flamethrower. Then I sprinkled some of the seasoning I brought and ate it in one bite.Under everyone's surprised eyes, after Li Xiaochong finished eating, he said with satisfaction: "It's really fragrant."

Lyon said to Li Xiaochong: "I have an idea. The two of us will continue to walk down to see if there is anything we want under the ground. I want to verify some of my ideas about geology."

Celens felt unbelievable and said: "You are crazy, it is difficult for us to get out alive now, now we are running for our lives, not an expedition."

Leon said: "You are only worthy to take a specimen from someone else's book. Should the deepest record of the run to the bottom be given to the people of northern cities and Gaul? Where is the vanity that you Americans should have? "

Celens said: "I want to go down too, but can I still live like this? You can take the worms in the hole as food, but the worms here may also be poisonous. And this kind of adventure goes against it. The original intention of our lives is to understand the unknown here, not to die."

Lyon said: "I don't want to go the wrong way above. Maybe we can't get out alive, but I want to see what it looks like near the mantle before I die."

The Georgian said to Lyon: "Should we be divided into two teams? Me and Celens, and you and Li Xiaochong?"

Leon said to Li Xiaochong, "Will you follow me?"

Li Xiaochong said: "Of course, we are not worried about starving to death. Except for insects, stone moss can be cooked and eaten."

Serens said with a look of disgust: "You are really disgusting."

The Georgian said: "Hey, although I was told that my life was in danger when I received the caving training, I prepared myself for death. But now I remember that some things have not been done on the ground, and I don't want to die now."

Lyon said, "I understand what you think."

Celens said: "Although I have an adventurous spirit, I like new discoveries and new records, but I don't want to die easily. I want to live a few more years."

Leon said: "I understand you too, but don't say that you reach the bottom of the cave first when you get to the ground. Li Xiaochong and I continue to go to the bottom. If you two believe this strange route, try walking. Well, there is no other way anyway."
