Chapter 97: Ghost Ginseng (Three Changes)
[There have been a lot of things in the past two days, but today the third update was finally written out o(n_n)o]
The scene presented in front of Zhang Jing and the three of them looked very strange, in this ancient tomb that had been sealed underground for an unknown number of years, it was not uncommon to find some white bones, but there was a corpse here that had not decomposed, which was a bit unreasonable.

Xing Lie also showed an interested look when he heard this, according to the legend that after a person dies, all the body functions will die, and it will not take long for it to begin to decay, but the corpse that Zhang Jing and the three of them saw, the clothes have turned into strips of rags, which proves that it has existed for a long time, but the complexion of the corpse is still a little ruddy.
It was clear that this corpse had died at the same time as no less than twenty other white bones, and that the corpse, which looked like it had been dead for no more than a few hours, had a ginseng plant growing on its belly.
This strangely colored ginseng plant is not placed on the stomach of the corpse casually, but actually grows in the other party's body, and according to Zhang Jing, for some reason, this ginseng plant looks like it has an evil aura, and it is more appropriate to call it ghost ginseng than ginseng.
At that time, Zhang Jing and the others, who had been blinded by money, had no time to study corpses and ghost ginseng, and immediately flew to pounce on the gold and silver belongings.
But at this time, a hair-like root of the ghost ginseng suddenly grew wildly, and Zhang Jing saw it really at that time, the roots of this ghost ginseng were almost the same as the mouthparts of the parasite.
The root whiskers danced wildly, and in an instant, one of the three of Zhang Jing was entangled, and the head of the root whiskers split violently, revealing a hideous big mouth, biting into the throat of the entangled classmate, making a gurgling sound similar to drinking water.
It can be seen that the body of the student who was bitten by the root of the ghost ginseng is rapidly drying up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and at this rate, at most half a minute, the original big living person will be sucked dry!
This scene had already scared Zhang Jing and the others stupidly, and they couldn't care about getting the baby that was close at hand, so they ran the way they came.
When the two were about to leave Yongdao, the ghost ginseng root whiskers also chased after them, but Zhang Jing didn't miss the friendship at all, and pushed the person running next to him to the ground, and the ghost ginseng root whiskers naturally wrapped up, giving Zhang Jing time to escape.
After leaving the narrow cave, Ghost Ginseng chased after him again, but it was also Zhang Jing's luck, and it was only a second or two before he escaped with his life.
After leaving the room, he slammed the door shut, and as a result, the ginseng roots made a sound of banging on the door, but because the ginseng roots were too weak, they couldn't knock the door open.
Zhang Jing returned to the dormitory in a daze, tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep, not thinking about the classmate he killed, but the treasure in the ancient tomb.
It wasn't until dawn that Zhang Jing finally couldn't resist the temptation of the treasures in the ancient tomb, and organized seven or eight male classmates who were living in poverty on weekdays to tell the story of that night, but he never mentioned the killing of one of the classmates, only saying that he was watching the wind outside, and he escaped with his life.
Several people's thoughts hit it off, and they planned to take advantage of the news before it spread, to eliminate the root tendrils of the ghost ginseng that sounded terrifying, but it couldn't even break the door, and took out as many treasures as they could, but it was just a group of poor students, even if they could bring out a silver ingot, it would be a windfall!
Before dawn, several students returned to the basement floor of the dormitory building with sticks or knives.
It's ridiculous that the unlucky ghosts who were instigated by Zhang Jing didn't know that they were used as guns.
A group of people rushed into the room with their fists sharpened, but how could there be a ghost ginseng root less than two fingers thick in the room? It was clearly a huge root as thick as an adult's forearm, with teeth and claws like a giant python.
There are also two brothers who died in the same bedroom in the ancient tomb last night, both of them standing in the room at this time, spitting out a miniature version of a hideous mouthpiece in the form of almost the same form as the root of the ghost ginseng.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jing, who had seen the strength of the root of the ghost ginseng, reacted the fastest, and even exited the door without the slightest hesitation, and locked the door.
As a result, there was the sound of seven or eight people wailing and slamming the door continuously, Zhang Jing hesitated again and again, and finally resolutely chose to leave.
Not long after Zhang Jing left, parasites appeared in the school, just like the virus was spreading, and soon the whole school became purgatory on earth.
Later, it was Zhang Jing who hid in the chemistry laboratory until he saw Xing Lie and Guan Linlin.
Zhang Jing did explain everything unreservedly this time, and many of the details were not let go, which made Xing Lie fall into deep thought.
Zhang Jing did these things, it is indeed enough for him to bear a lifetime of infamy, at first he hurt his classmates, and he could use the disaster as an excuse to fly separately, but later, because he coveted the treasures in the ancient tomb, he organized people to explore again, and even locked these people in the room, and all these people were killed, this alone is enough to make him bear a lifetime of infamy, not to mention that because of his relationship, almost all the thousands of teachers and students in the entire school were killed!
Xing Lie pondered Zhang Jing's words carefully, and through his narration, he connected some of these clues, and it was not difficult to guess a few points, first of all, there was only one complete corpse in the ancient tomb, and the corpses of the people who died in the same period had all turned into white bones, but the corpse did not decay at all, which is enough to show that the ghost ginseng regarded the corpse as a sojourn and grew with it.
The parasite is made of ghost ginseng, through the characteristics of the parasite, it is not difficult to judge that the ghost ginseng also has the ability to turn the human body into nutrients to support itself, those white bones in the ancient tomb, obviously turned into the nutrients of the ghost ginseng, and at the same time, the ghost ginseng uses nutrients to support the sojourn, which also explains why the corpse in ancient times has not decomposed until now.
According to Zhang Jing, when he first saw the ghost ginseng, its roots were like hair, and it didn't grow like crazy until he attacked them, and at the same time, it could be seen that the corpse that had never decomposed quickly dried up, apparently absorbing all the nutrients in the corpse and transforming it into combat power.
Through these clues, it can be concluded that the ghost ginseng has grown in the ancient tomb for an unknown number of years, and has been struggling to survive until now due to the lack of nutrient offerings, and it may be that the ghost ginseng has also realized how long it can no longer be supported, and it will not hesitate to smash the wall of the basement of the school's new dormitory building before exposing people in the weakest form, hoping to escape.
The ghost ginseng, which should have been left to fend for itself in a short time, was very lucky to meet Zhang Jing's three fools, and after devouring the blood of Zhang Jing's two companions as nutrients, his size increased dramatically, but he still couldn't break through the door or wall of the basement room to escape.
It's just that Zhang Jing's behavior of leading people forward completely made the ghost ginseng grow, and after devouring seven or eight people, it is conceivable how terrifying the strength of the ghost ginseng will be.
Although the door of the basement floor was locked by Zhang Jing, he couldn't close the ghost ginseng that had greatly increased his strength, so he broke out of the door and transformed all the students around him into parasites, giving them the ability to parasitize, and letting them spread the terror.
That's probably what things look like, Xing Lie has already figured it out, and summed up the ghost ginseng in one sentence, that is, the more parasites that spread, the stronger its strength will be, that is to say, the strength of the ghost ginseng is improved all the time because the parasites swallow blood, as long as the time drags on, the situation will become more and more out of control.
