Chapter Seventy-Nine: Destroying the Nerves

"Really, congratulations on winning the Virus title!" I shouted as I ran.

The phagocytes behind us were constantly chasing us, and Lao Hei and I could only run around, and before we knew it, we were lost.

"Hey, the phagocytes are gone. "After running for a while, I suddenly realized that the monster chasing us behind me was no longer there.

Lao Hei looked around: "I don't know what kind of place this is, but the phagocytes can't come, this place should be quite special." ”

I looked around, it was pitch black, there were no discernible organs or anything like that, only a huge rock in the distance.

"Old Black, this stone can't be its heart, is it?" I asked.

"Don't make a fuss, don't say whether this big flesh worm has a heart or not, even if it does, it can't be of this shape, if it's fan-shaped or long-shaped, it's reasonable. Lao Hei said as he looked at the stones in the distance.

"Just look at it. I said and walked forward.

I thought it was just a big rock, but when I got closer, I realized that it actually had legs.

"What is this?" I took a few steps back.

Lao Hei stepped forward to check, his brow furrowed.

"No, this is supposed to be in the body of a worm, how can there be such a thing? Could it be a parasite?" said to himself.

Parasite?

Such a big parasite, how terrible it is.

"Lao Hei, let's go, it's important to find the outermost skin of the female worm. I said.

Lao Hei shook his head: "The female worm is much bigger than we thought, and it will definitely not work according to the original plan, so I'm afraid we will have to find another way." ”

I looked at Lao Hei and waited for his answer.

"I think we can find a way to attack it! Since it's tricked us into its stomach, of course we're going to have to do something. Old Black laughed.

"But you forgot? we've been chiseling a little bit of its epithelial tissue for a long time, how can we wreak havoc?" I questioned.

"That's not epithelial tissue. ”

"Gee, whatever it is, I don't think what you just proposed is feasible anyway. I replied.

Lao Hei shook his head: "No, I mean, I'm afraid it was its digestive system just now. ”

I don't know, "What's wrong with the digestive system?"

He smiled: "You think the digestive system is destroyed, and it can still live?"

I was puzzled and asked him how to destroy it, but we had just felt the hardness of the mother's body.

He said it could destroy the softest part of it, as long as we could find it.

According to Fenglin's records, Sister Lan once killed a smaller female worm, and the third master went to study it in person, but did not get too many useful conclusions.

One of the most important discoveries is that strong acids can dissolve the epidermis of the female worm, and the other finding is the existence of extremely fragile nerve tissue in the female worm.

This nerve tissue is found below the head of the female worm and controls the signal feet of the female worm and also affects the life of the female worm.

As long as this fragile nerve can be destroyed, it can prevent the mother from sending signals to its fire phosphors, or it can cause the mother to die within three days.

Lao Hei's words gave me hope that as long as we go back the way we came, we can find the fragile nerve on the "neck" of the female worm, and destroy this nerve to quickly kill the female worm.

"Strange, since it's more useful to destroy nerves, why didn't Sister Lan tell me this method, but let us dissolve its skin?" I asked curiously.

Lao Hei smiled: "Who would have thought that someone would really walk into the belly of the female worm, and such a thing can only happen to us." ”

I asked another question: "Since the mother worm has very fragile nerves in that place, why did she let us into her belly?"

But Lao Hei said that the mother worm does not know that her nerves are fragile at all, just as it is impossible for a person to sense where every one of his nerves is.

We started walking back with the sprayer on our backs, and along the way, we were all paying attention to whether the phagocytes had spotted us, but fortunately the road was quite smooth.

In the direction we came in, we were back in the female worm's esophagus, where there was still a lot of water, up to the calves.

In this place, we can hear the hellish sound again. I thought it was the sound of a mother worm, but now that I think about it, it could be the sound of digesting food.

"Let's go back!" said the old black and walked back.

It's impossible to go out now, and since the bugs let us in, how can they continue to open their mouths to let us go back?

We walked back for a long time, and when we were about to reach the brown stone road, we stopped.

"There's no road ahead, and it looks like this is its neck. "This worm isn't that smart, and it won't do it any good to send us in." ”

I nodded slightly, this time the mother worm really miscalculated.

The "rock wall" of this place is harder than the one we first chiseled, and we only have one knife, so we have been exchanging force.

It took about two hours to dig a small hole in the place, barely enough for us to climb out.

After climbing out, the smell here is different, and it smells like it's in a landfill.

It's still pitch black outside, and we're still inside the mother, but it's a little different from the rest of the place. Under the light of the flashlight, we can see some large, rough white pillars, which are supposed to be the nerves of the mother worm.

"Lao Hei, can this thing really be destroyed with strong acid? If this fails, we won't be able to get out at all. "I'm a little unsure.

Lao Hei patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we can test it, spray a little bit first, and if it works, we will increase the intensity." ”

His advice was good, and I nodded.

Crawling down the white rope-like nerve fibers, we crawled to our destination, a huge piece of nerve tissue.

Hei and I looked at each other and nodded, and then Hei turned on the sprayer.

As soon as the nozzle opened, the strong acid sprayed out, although it was only a little bit, but it still made the nerve tissue under our feet begin to dissolve.

"It works!" looked at me and smiled.

So, the two of us started the work of spraying strong acids non-stop. Originally, the plan was for my bucket to be left as a support for breaking the skin of the female worm, but only Lao Hei was a little too slow to work, so it was better for us to do both and keep a little each.

The nerve tissue of the mother worm is constantly dissolved under the action of strong acids until finally, only a little bit is left under our feet.

"What now, old black?" I asked.

If we continue to spray, we will have nowhere to stay, but now jumping and not knowing where we will land is really a problem.

"Simple, Flying Tiger Claw!" I saw Lao Hei take out an iron claw and launch it upwards and nail it to a place, "Grab the rope, let's climb up, and then dissolve all the remaining tissues under our feet!"

I gave Lao Hei a thumbs up: "Handsome! I didn't expect Fenglin to be involved in tomb robbery?"

The old black and white glanced at me: "You have watched too much TV." ”

Without further ado, we grabbed the rope and climbed up a bit, then turned on the sprayer switch to dissolve the last of the tissue.

At this time, it should be the mother worm who sensed something strange in her body, and the place where we were began to vibrate strongly. I'm guessing the mother worm has already started moving.

"We're in the right place. I said with a smile.

But Lao Hei said don't be happy too early, we haven't fallen off yet.

Indeed, we need to continue to look for a way out, first of all, to find the epidermis of the mother.

Although it is said that the mother worm will die in three days after the nerve is destroyed, I don't think we can stay in it for three days, that would be too bad.

"Let's go down, down to the bottom, maybe that's the skin down there. Lao Hei said.

I listened to his advice and climbed down.

"The ground down here is different, harder than anywhere we've been standing before. I said.

Lao Hei looked at the ground here and said, "This is probably the belly of the female worm." Find one of the most vulnerable places and try to break through it!"

Where is the most vulnerable?

I searched for the nearby "rock walls" and found that they were thick to the touch, and although they were soft to the touch, they became very hard when I exerted force.

"I don't think this vulnerable place is here. Lao Hei, are there any relevant records in the materials you read?" I asked, looking at Lao Hei.

Old Hei lowered his head and said that he had only taken a cursory glance and did not know the specific details, so he could not recall it at all.

It seemed that we had to find it, and we continued to walk along here, hoping to find something different.

"Zhao Jie, I think I might have found it. After walking a little further, Lao Hei looked at me in surprise.
