Chapter 461: Wire Worms
At first glance, it resembles a black wire, but it resembles a worm called a worm.
Wire worms, also known as hair-shaped snakes, are widely distributed all over the world, and are not uncommon in southern China.
Wireworms can live freely in both seawater and freshwater, and their body shape is like a string, dioecious, and the longest body can reach about one meter.
The eggs laid by the female in the water hatch into larvae, which live parasitically in insects and humans that accidentally swallow her.
Once the insect it parasits is preyed on by a larger arthropod, the larvae of the nematode continue to develop in the body of the larger arthropod.
What's even more terrifying is that after the larvae reach a certain stage of development, they will gradually control the behavior of the parasite, driving the parasite to find water source and drown itself, and then burrow out of the dead parasite.
This is by no means alarmist, although the specific cause still needs to be studied, but arthropods parasitized by nematodes do have inexplicable suicides!
Perhaps inspired by this, South Korea has seen an invasion of nematodes, which controls human drowning and suicide, and then triggers a major crisis.
There is undoubtedly an element of artistic exaggeration in this, although the nematode will parasitize the human body, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and a series of infectious diseases, but to say that it is absolutely nonsense to completely control a person's thinking!
However, what is happening in front of me is just like the plot in the movie, and it is even more absurd!
That's right, absurd, and terrifying!
Tens of thousands of inhabitants of the huge archipelago have all died from such a seemingly inconspicuous bug?
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, I don't know which way of the evil cultivator actually combined the method of refining Gu worms with the iron worms!" Xuan Wei carefully observed, and directly urged Jian Gang to cut the iron worms in the restraint into powder.
Putting aside the distinction between good and evil, even Xuan Wei admits that this is a rather bold and creative idea, the characteristics of the nematode are indeed very suitable for refining Gu worms, and with a little cultivation and optimization, it can become a terrifying Gu worm that kills people invisibly and is unguardable!
Don't talk about ordinary people, even ordinary monks, in an unguarded situation, are afraid that they can't escape the lurking attack of this kind of wire worm.
And once it is parasitized by it, the end is that it wantonly absorbs flesh and blood nutrients, and finally commits suicide by the sea under its control, and finally drills a more mature nematode out of its head!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of horror, what would it be like if this kind of nematode spread along the waters to the coastal areas of China and even the inland rivers without anyone knowing?
Compared to those fierce beasts that can see the threat at a glance, this inconspicuous invisible killer is far more terrifying!
"This insect is so terrifying, it must not be left behind!" Xuan Wei's eyes were cold, and his divine sense suddenly spread.
Under the detection of Xuanwei's divine sense, the nematodes in the surrounding sea area were immediately visible like luminous objects.
In the vast ocean, there are dense nematodes, and except for the nematodes, the rest of the living creatures in the sea have become a breeding ground for them.
With no natural predators, adequate nutrition, and a suitable environment, isn't the waters around the Ryukyu Islands a paradise for nematodes?
"Poor Dao has been practicing kendo for a short time, but I don't know if I can successfully use that sword move?" Xuan Wei took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was particularly solemn.
Strictly speaking, Xuan Wei had not dabbled much in kendo before, until he entered the Yuan infant stage in his last retreat, and the extra memory fragments in his brain were impressively packed with a lot of experience and insights in kendo.
Among them, there are some subtle and mysterious sword moves, and Rao is Xuanwei absorption speed is very fast, but after all, the time for cultivation is still short, and it has not reached the realm of sending and receiving freely in a hurry.
In the next second, Xuan Wei's body suddenly erupted with an astonishing sword momentum, and the incomparable sword intent was like a cold Qingfeng sword pulling out of the sword box.
"Divine consciousness turns into a sword, condenses the momentum in thought, and the void can be real!"
Xuan snorted slightly, and the scattered divine consciousness was infected by his own sword momentum, wrapped in terrifying and fierce sword intent, turning into an invisible small sword, slashing towards the clematode that had just been locked.
As if sensing an invisible threat, the wireworm wriggled and struggled wildly, but it was all in vain.
Sneer~~~
The invisible small sword transformed by the divine consciousness slashed down, and the wireworm broke in two without resistance under the sharp sword intent.
The void can be cut into reality, it is said that the ethereal and invisible divine consciousness and sword intent, after condensing to a certain extent, even if the entity can still cut it off with a sharp force!
According to common sense, with the vitality of the nematode, let alone being cut in two, even if they are cut a few more times, they can still survive.
And at this moment, after being attacked by the invisible sword of divine consciousness, the wireworm that was cut in two was motionless and lost all its vitality!
The reason is very simple, even if Xuan Wei distinguishes a trace of the Divine Consciousness Sword, it is still not something that a mere clematode can parry, and it has been dismembered and crushed like a decay, cutting off all their vitality.
"What a domineering sword move!" "Witnessing the power of the Divine Consciousness Sword, even Xuan Wei himself couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
This kind of sword move that can take the enemy's life in a single thought, in a sense, has already involved some obscure and mysterious Dao Zhizhi, if it weren't for the extra memory fragments in Xuan Wei's mind, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to comprehend the subtlety of it in three years and five years.
Suddenly, Xuan Wei noticed that there was a black wire worm with a little gold vein, it was barely able to withstand Xuan Wei's divine sense sword, and at this moment it was fleeing frantically under the cover of a large number of wire worm corpses.
"Finally appeared, Gu Mother!" Xuanwei raised the corners of his mouth, driving the people under the seat to chase after him.
But all Gu worms, no matter how ever-changing, there must be a Gu worm as the original mother, and that is the Gu mother!
The Gu mother is like an ant queen and a queen bee, all the Gu insects that reproduce are driven and controlled by it, once the Gu mother dies, the remaining Gu worms will also become a rootless source and completely disperse.
In the same way, as long as the Gu Mother does not die, it is completely able to reproduce a new group for its servants.
Therefore, only the Gu mother of this nematode, Xuanwei will not let go of anything!
"It's up to you to try the sword of the poor road!" Xuan Wei's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a fairy sword with a cyan sword from the cold moon sword box behind his back.
It's exactly what the previous mission rewarded, a replica of the Qingping Sword!
Even if it is not a genuine spiritual treasure, the Qingping Sword in Xuanwei's hand is still worthy of the title of "Fairy Sword", and that spirituality alone is far from being comparable to ordinary magic weapons.
