Lao Wang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"This mission is not easy. The bats that Meng Fei asked us to hunt are not ordinary bats, but an ancient beast called the snake-mouthed bat."
Hearing the words "snake-mouthed bat", Lao Chen's expression suddenly froze, and he exclaimed: "Are you talking about the kind of snake-mouthed bat that can suck human blood recorded in the Xia Dynasty?!"
Lao Wanguo nodded and continued, "Yes, that guy. There is still a surviving snake-mouthed bat in the mountain. We must kill him. The snake-mouthed bat reproduces asexually, which means that it can reproduce an entire population by itself!
The scariest thing about this thing is that its mouth is full of spikes, just like the mouthparts of an insect. Once it bites you, you can’t pull it off. In less than ten seconds, your entire body will be sucked dry.”
After hearing Lao Wang's introduction, everyone's expressions began to become serious.
Lao Wan took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.
"We will start our action when it gets dark. These snake-mouthed bats like the smell of blood. We will go into the mountains and kill a few rabbits. We will get some blood and scatter it in the woods. Finally, we will leave one in the middle as bait.
This snake-mouthed bat is suspicious by nature, so we need to find a remote location in the mountains and try not to leave any footprints or anything like that, so that the chances of success will be higher.
When the snake-mouthed bat comes out, the rest will be left to you, Qin Lan!"
When Qin Lan heard that the most critical part of the task would be given to her, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Okay! Leave it to me! I promise it will be fine."
After a few brief conversations, everyone prepared to return to their respective rooms to pack their belongings.
At this time, Lao Wang seemed to have thought of something and quickly called everyone to stop.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong, Lao Wang? Is there anything else?"
Old Wang's eyes were filled with solemnity, and he said solemnly, "We have overlooked a detail. We cannot rule out whether this snake-mouthed bat has given birth during this period of time. If we just kill that snake-mouthed bat, more snake-mouthed bats will come out later. So this snake-mouthed bat cannot be killed for the time being. It is best to install a tracking and positioning device. To ensure that there is no risk, we must find its nest! Kill it right away!"
Everyone nodded. At this time, Lao Chen stepped forward and said, "This is easy. Give me half an hour and I will make you a world-class tracking device!"
"Okay, it's two o'clock in the afternoon now. Let's take a three-hour break and prepare the relevant equipment. We will set off on time at five o'clock!"
"good!"
"OK!"
"......"
Everyone agreed and returned to their respective rooms to organize their equipment.
At this time, Meng Fei walked in from outside, patted Lao Wang on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and praised:
"Not bad, you look like a captain."
Lao Wang gave a bitter smile: "Hey... You are forcing me to do this. If you don't have a chance, you should find someone else... I..."
Lao Wang wanted to say something but was interrupted by Meng Fei.
"Okay, you have to believe in yourself. You are no worse than them! You have learned most of my Tai Chi. If we fight alone, they may not be your opponents."
"Oh, I heard everything outside the door just now. The plan you arranged is very meticulous, but you must be careful. It doesn't matter if the mission cannot be completed. Safety is the most important thing! The people must come back!"
Lao Wang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you guys go and get busy. I'll take a nap. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days."
Having said that, Meng Fei fell directly onto the kang and fell into a deep sleep.
Three hours later, after a quick bite, they put on their backpacks and headed into the primeval forest of Daxinganling.
Based on the satellite cloud map, Lao Chen selected a relatively spacious open space in the jungle as the location to lure and kill snakemouth bats.
While moving forward, Cui Xiao disappeared into the jungle like a cheetah. When he came back, he was holding six or seven big, fat rabbits and three pheasants in his hands.
"Wow! Sister Xiao, you are so amazing! You caught so many rabbits and pheasants!"
Cui Xiao raised his chin and said proudly: "There is nothing nearby. If there was, I could bring you a whole blind bear. Thinking back to the past..."
Cui Xiao was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the encounter with Xiong Da in the morning and quickly swallowed his words back.
Soon, everyone came to the open space chosen by Lao Chen, cut the throats of the rabbits and pheasants, and spilled their blood in the surrounding jungle.
He also made a special effort to leave behind the largest and fattest hare and tied it in the middle of the clearing as bait.
Finally, Lao Wang asked everyone to use hay to clean up all the footprints around, and finally he felt at ease and found a piece of grass to hide.
After finishing everything, it was already dark.
Everyone lay on the cold snow, motionless, their eyes closely observing the strange sights around them.
One hour.
Two hours.
Five hours.
Until midnight, no other creatures approached the trap except for some small mice, owls and other animals.
Everyone lay on the snow, shivering from the cold.
Qin Lan: "Lao Wang... No... No, let's go back first. I don't think the snake-mouthed bats will come tonight... I... I'm almost frozen... Hiss..."
Qin Lan's teeth started to chatter from the cold, and she spoke in a trembling voice.
Lao Wang himself was shivering with cold, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"If you can't hold on any longer, go back first. We'll stay here. Meng Fei has only given us one day. The snake-mouthed bat never comes out during the day. If we don't catch it tonight, our mission will definitely fail!"
Hearing this, Qin Lan gritted her teeth, lay back on the snow angrily, and stared fiercely at the little fat rabbit in the middle of the open space.
At this moment, Lao Chen on the side suddenly spoke up.
"Get ready! The detector shows something is coming!"
After hearing what Lao Chen said, everyone perked up!
Just as Lao Chen said, a black shadow was seen rushing from the night sky, and finally circled above the trap for several times, but it never landed. Qin Lan was so anxious that she gritted her teeth.
The snake-mouthed bat circled cautiously in the air several times, making sure there was no danger before swooping down on the hare in the middle of the clearing.
