Text Chapter 216 Insect Earth Master
Li Muye and Xiao Fen were swept away by the explosion wave together, and fell into the white misty sinkhole, the two of them were vigorous, and controlled their bodies in mid-air to fall all the way down with the posture on their feet and heads, this move was just to obey the fate of heaven, such a violent falling momentum, it was like practicing kung fu like a fairy, and it would probably fall into a pulp. In despair, I suddenly felt a softness under my feet, and below was a swamp made of rotten leaves and muddy water.
This thing was even less stressful than water, and it barely felt much of a shock force, and the force of the fall was absorbed by the viscous swamp. It was gratifying that the two of them escaped death, but they soon found that there was nothing to be happy about, and most of their bodies were trapped in the swamp, only the part above the ribs was exposed. There is absolutely no room for struggle to get out of trouble.
What is even more desperate is that the temperature in this swamp is clearly over 50 degrees. The temperature at which the whole body can withstand the liquid conduction temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. Theoretically, temperatures above 47 degrees are unsafe, but there are great individual variations, and some people can tolerate higher temperatures. Even if both of them are physically fit and can bear the limit better than ordinary people, they will not be able to bear it for a long time.
"Uncle, how do you feel, are you hurt?" Xiao Fen asked with eager concern.
Li Muye said: "No problem for the time being. Then he asked, "How are you?"
Xiao Fen said: "It's okay, there are no fractures, but it feels so hot." ”
Li Muye said with relief: "I'm also hot, don't worry, your heart is calm and naturally cool, the more you have to be calm at this time." ”
Looking around, I saw that this black-purple swamp was about two or three acres in range, and bubbles could be seen everywhere rising from below, forming a bubble on the surface of the mud and then bursting, and a cloud of white mist was formed. The purple dragon tree was more than ten meters away in front of it, and if it could be transported there, there would be a chance to get out of this desperate situation.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the back of his head, Li Muye hurriedly followed the sound and looked back, only to see that there were many giant ground insects with blind eyes and big mouths gathered on the shore about twenty meters away, one after another, densely packed and unable to see how many heads, and the appearance of being around the swamp was particularly terrifying.
Li Muye held the mountain knife in one hand and Xiao Fen's hand in the other, the two of them held hands and looked at it in horror, Xiao Fen asked, "Uncle, how can there be so many earth insects here?"
Li Muye's expression was solemn, he squinted his eyes, and said, "I have heard Xu Yangchen talk about this kind of ground worm, but it is related to an ancient gateway to the rivers and lakes. ”
The high nest is not explored, the abyss is not wet, the hungry tiger can walk, the snake can be grasped, all things are the same, and they are forgotten in the Tao.
The ancients were respectful and reverent for all things natural, but at the same time there was no lack of spirit of exploration and study. Ge Hong is not only an alchemist, but also a practitioner. He recorded a lot of strange things in Baopuzi, and some strange professions evolved from the old rivers and lakes. For example, the insect master. The people of this sect take Ge Hong as their ancestor and specialize in exploring and collecting the trade of strange beasts and treasures.
From the bezoar dog treasure to the dragon skin tiger bone, all those with some special functions are the treasures that the insect master is pursuing. From ancient times to the present, generations of insect masters have summed up a lot of treasure hunting rules, and gradually formed a unique portal inheritance. According to Xu Yangchen, although ground insects are rare, some skilled insect masters have a way to find them and kill insects and extract treasures with the help of the principle of physical sense.
Xiao Fen was a little puzzled: "This thing is disgusting to look at, where can it be considered a treasure on its body?"
Li Muye said: "Xu Yangchen once told me that this insect has a heart without a liver, a stomach without a pylorus, because it cannot be excreted, what it eats must be maximized to be used and absorbed, so its stomach is the most poisonous thing in the world, almost any substance can be decomposed and melted into the nutrients they need, but everything has pros and cons of yin and yang, and it is inevitable to accumulate a large number of toxins in the process of digesting food, and their hearts are the best antidote, which is said to balance yin and yang to treat any disease." ”
Xiao Fen said: "Uncle, are you doubting that the reason why we fell to this step of the field is because there is a powerful insect master who is doing it?"
Li Muye said: "It is indeed very possible!" and added: "It was very suspicious to encounter an explosion accident in the excavation of the tunnel before, but at that time, the accident factor could not be completely eliminated, and I got the direction of suspicion wrong, thinking that it was the Huo Ze brothers or Liverani who were looking for trouble with us, and now it seems that it is probably not." ”
"I guess it's probably like this, there is such a strange place in the belly of this mountain that gave birth to a purple dragon tree, attracting a certain powerful insect master to collect purple dragon wood blood here, but was disturbed by our engineering team, this person first used the explosion to warn, forced us to change the route, and then saw that it had no effect, so he summoned a lot of earth insects and that kind of big rat to destroy the engineering team. ”
"He Xiaoqi and Sister Bai Xue took Lao Wu and they were cut off by this insect master after they received the news, and they drove these earth insects to raid, destroying the geological structure and causing a real landslide, fortunately Lao Wu recognized the purple dragon wood in the cave, so he took Sister Bai and Xiaoqi to temporarily escape and wait for us to come to the rescue. Xiao Fen said along Li Muye's train of thought. At the end, he asked, "What is this purple dragon wood blood?"
Li Muye said: "The insect master has been pursuing the treasure of heaven and earth all his life, and the purple dragon wood blood is one of the heavenly materials, it is a good thing to cure diseases and strengthen the body, most of the insect masters will use the ancient alchemy technique, the mercury is highly toxic, and the combination of purple dragon wood blood can reduce the harm of toxins to the body." ”
"Isn't there a worm heart that can cure all kinds of poisons?" asked Xiao Fen, looking at the disgusting insects on the shore.
"Erysipelas is not necessarily harmful and not beneficial, just like some toxins in Western medicine can be used to save people, insect masters believe that this erysipelas is a treasure, maybe it will have some positive effects on stimulating potential, in short, it can not be completely resolved, so it is necessary to have a natural material such as purple dragon wood blood to synthesize the medicinal properties, so that it can not only resolve the harm of toxins to the body, but also do not destroy the positive effects of toxins. ”
This purple dragon wood is also a strange thing in the world, belonging to the underground plant, which likes yin but not yang. It grows deep in the leylines and can survive and grow in the soil, and the rhizomes in the ground can form a huge tree plant, and the exposed part of the ground is very inconspicuous. Fortunately, Lao Wu recognized it and knew that the main trunk of this thing was deep underground, and when the ground worm caused the collapse, he Xiaoqi and Bai Xue and others stood next to Zilongmu in time to save the life of the second daughter.
Xiao Fen said: "The people above must be trying to save us, but I don't know if we can come down to rescue us before we are eaten by these ground worms." Speaking of this, he asked a little strangely: "Uncle, why don't you see these ground worms have pounced yet?"
Li Muye glanced up first, and then looked at the ground insects who were about to move, but seemed to be restricted by some kind and refused to take half a step beyond the thunder pool, and couldn't help but be a little strange. These things clearly have the ability to cross the swamp and climb the purple dragon wood, and they were not polite when they attacked Wu Runtu before, why did they suddenly stop moving forward at this time?
"Because I haven't ordered them to pounce yet. A voice came from behind the swarm of insects.
Li Muye followed the sound and looked over, only to see a figure in the white mist slowly walking out, becoming clearer and clearer, it was a thin middle-aged man in work clothes.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fen asked in a loud voice as she glared at the initiator.
"I am what you call the Worm Master. The middle-aged man ignored Xiaofen, looked at Li Muye, nodded slightly, and said: "You are not very old, you have seen a lot, and your bold reaction is also first-class, and even my insect king can be killed, which is indeed a big surprise to me." ”
Li Muye looked at him, visually measured the distance, and calculated whether the wheeled pistol could shoot at him at this distance.
"Young man, stop having illusions. The insect master said: "You two fell into the purple fire mud cave, it's okay not to move, there is an underground fire surging and can still support you, but if you move, you will only die faster, and you should know the situation in front of you very well, my treasures can kill you at any time." ”
"You came to trouble us for this purple dragon tree?"
"Definitely. The insect master said: "Actually, someone asked me to come to you for trouble at a high price, and it was a surprise to meet Zilongmu and this crypt." ”
"Oh?" Li Muye was a little surprised, and asked, "Can you tell me who came to you?"
The insect master said: "That person's name is King Luojia. He added, "Young man, if I hadn't suddenly discovered that you have the value of living, I wouldn't have told you so much." ”
It turned out that the Taiping Society was obstructing it. This insect master has such a great ability, it seems that most of them are characters on the Jianghu literary list. Xu Yangchen once said that there are military advisors and masterminds who are good at strategizing on the literary list, and there are also warlocks who are proficient in Qimen and tricks, and this person in front of him is undoubtedly a top warlock figure. Li Muye secretly thought to himself, it is not difficult to imagine the purpose of King Luojia inviting him to deal with him, so far, this person has almost succeeded. But from his tone, it is not difficult to hear that things seem to be turning around.
"May I ask the Immortal Master's surname?"
"My name is Pirixiu. The insect master said: "Mr. Li doesn't have to report to his family, this bureau was originally prepared for you, if it weren't for your arrival, those people on the tree would have already seen the king of Hades." ”
Li Muye said: "It turned out to be Mr. Pi, just now Mr. said that there is a place to get Li?"
"Yes. Pi Rixiu nodded and said, "If this is not the case, how can you be allowed to live until now?"
Li Muye's eyes rolled and said, "So, let's have a good talk?"
Pi Ri cultivated: "Exactly, as long as you know each other and are obedient, the old man can not only spare the two of you from dying, but also teach you some skills." ”
Li Muye said: "I'm trapped in this ghost place, and I'll be ready to mature in a while, how can I talk to you?"
Pi Ri said: "You are a scheming and agile person, if you are rescued like this, the old man is afraid that he will not survive between breaths." ”
Li Muye said: "Don't say it so ugly, I am a businessman, and doing business is about integrity......"
"Hey, hey. Pi Rixiu interrupted Li Muye's words and said: "Young man, the old man has lived for more than sixty years and has been in the rivers and lakes for fifty years, but he has not come to this day by relying on his promises, if you want the old man to save you, you still need to show some sincerity." As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and two swarthy pills appeared.
