Chapter 81: The Dual Organs
The treasurer took back the torch and walked to us, now that the situation had changed abruptly, the big guy had to think long to get through the waterway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that the little Taoist priest and the library master were afraid of the snake binding insects, I asked them, "Is this insect very powerful?"
The curator extinguished a torch, put it on the ground, and then gave us a detailed science popularization. It turns out that the "snake binding bug" is a parasite on the snake's body, and its body color will change due to environmental changes, and if its host is black, then it will also turn black.
Many parasites and hosts can live in harmony, but the snake worm is not, it is bloodthirsty, the host's blood, after drinking the blood, the snake worm is completely different from the flat parasites I see now, they will be very full, like the round and shiny body of a grass tick.
Generally, few snake insects will take the initiative to suck human blood, because the taste of human blood is still different from that of snake blood. However, there is also a situation where the snake worm will suck the blood of other creatures, and that is when they are hungry, and the snake worm we see now happens to be in this state. However, the library master said that the snake binding insect is a parasitic insect that is extremely afraid of light, so when there is light, they will be caught in the snake's scales and never come out. This is why they parasitize snakes, because snakes prefer to stay in dark and damp places, which is similar to the characteristics of snake binding insects.
The reason why the snake worm emerged from the darkness was because of the wound on my calf, and the smell of blood made the hungry snake worm take this risk.
I heard his analysis, and immediately prepared to treat the wound on my foot, and as soon as I looked down, I gasped, and only saw that the opening in my leg had been drilled into two snake binding insects. One had apparently drunk my blood, and half of its body was a little swollen. The other one just got into the head and didn't taste my blood.
My feet happened to be blocked by the light of the eight jians on the side, so after these two worms were brought up from the water, they did not retreat, but desperately demanded fresh blood from me.
Originally, I only felt a cool feeling on my feet, but now I saw that there were insects in the wound, and the itching sensation instantly floated up.
When the treasurer saw this, he was about to take the torch to burn the worm on my leg, but I saw that the fire on the torch was burning vigorously, retracted and retreated, and shouted: "You are crazy, this worm is scalding to death, and my leg will have to burn a big bubble for you!"
The Kushi smiled: "Brother Feng, I'm kind enough to help you!" said and brought the torch over again.
I was so told that I almost stretched my legs, but when I thought that my cut calves were like chicken wings cut by a knife, and they would have to "simmer" and smoke when roasted with fire, so I exposed my legs to the scope of the fire, and said: "Since insects are afraid of light, it would be good to solve them gently, and your violent aesthetics should be left to you to be bitten!"
"The aesthetics of violence?" said Kushi, who pondered my words and raised his eyes, "What do you mean?"
I sighed silently in my heart, and said, "It's a rough method!" I said, I looked down at my calf under the light, the two insects were like raisins, shrunk together, and the snake binding insects that appeared on the waterhole also receded, leaving a corpse of insects that died before they could get out of the school.
I looked at the waterhole and said, "What now?" these snake worms have receded, but we are going to enter the water, and maybe they will sneak into our wounds again. ”
The Kushi turned his back to the waterhole, sneered, and said, "Brother Feng, what we have to care about now is not the snake binding worm, but the host of the snake binding worm. ”
"Is there really such a thing as the host of the snake binding insects? If it really exists, how can these insects be so hungry? And isn't the mechanism of the stone gate opened by the prince? Why didn't the stone door open, could it be said that the stone door is just a decoration, and the bottom is the real chapter, ah...... Isn't that going to meet directly with insects and snakes?"
However, the question he raised was also puzzled by me, and I said, "Hachi is right, if there were really any giant snakes, then these insects would not be hungry like this, I guess the snakes in the waterhole would have died a long time ago." ”
The little Taoist priest pondered for a long time and asked me, "Brother Feng, you said that you saw the Xuanwu-shaped mechanism before, but when you turned the mechanism, it was the snake figure that moved. ”
I nodded inexplicably, and the little Taoist priest continued: "Maybe the problem is here, Xuanwu is Xuanwu, it is a combination of turtles and snakes, if you are turning the snake coiled on Xuanwu's body, then you may simply open the snake's mechanism, so the snake binding insect appears." We presume that there must be a snake if there is a snake worm, but if this snake is a tomb anti-robbery mechanism in the ancient tomb design, then this snake should have existed in the snake mechanism for a long time, and perhaps, as Brother Wang said, it may have died. ”
Hearing this, I suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder, I also had doubts at the time, I wanted to pull the snake body, and the turtle under it will also rotate, but I didn't expect that only the snake will turn, but I did see that there is a very thin slit under the turtle, it seems that it is a double mechanism, I was careless." ”
The little Taoist priest shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that you are careless, you are just calculated by the ancestors." It is difficult for ordinary people to think that there will be a double mechanism, and they will instinctively pull the snake statue that is easy to wrench. ”
When the treasurer heard this, he said, "Since the existence of the giant snake has been ruled out now, and I know that I have made a mistake, then what are you waiting for, go down." ”
I didn't feel a pain in my back when I heard him standing and talking, I gave him a blank look, and said, "You always said it is really light, I have consumed most of my physical strength by the toss just now, and now if you want me to go down again, my body will not agree." ”
Master Ku stood up suddenly, and was about to make a difficulty, but he forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, pretending to be kind and pleasant, and said, "Then how long will it take you to recover your strength?"
I said, "Half a pillar ......."
Before the word "incense" could be spoken, Bajian held his hand on the ground, slowly stood up, pointed to the waterhole, and said, "Look behind, there is a triangular water mark swimming over." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all stood up without knowing what was going on, because of the sound of the water spray from the snakes on both sides, we didn't notice anything approaching, and the big guy held his breath and watched for a long time, except for the splash of water pouring down and churning, there were no triangular water marks.
The curator had already pressed his hand on the short knife at his waist defensively, and there was no movement at all, so he turned around angrily and said to Bajian: "Which eye did you see a triangular water mark? Isn't it because I kicked you into the water just now, and you made a false move to retaliate against me?"
When Bajian heard this, he sneered at each other: "Yo, Master Ku will also be afraid, why did Grandpa Ben say that you will be caught by something when you go into the water, and you really listened to it?"
Looking at Ba Jian's smug face, I can't be sure if the triangular water mark he just said is true or false, but if you think about it carefully, there is no need for Ba Jian to use this kind of boring trick to take revenge on the Kushi.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a large splash exploded behind the Kushi, and in a flash, a huge figure came down from above with an oppressive momentum and bit the Kushi's shoulder.
This moment came so quickly that I could barely see it clearly, when I heard the curator scream and was quickly dragged into the water. Bajian and I were so frightened that our feet weakened, and we sat down on the ground, and Bajian knotted his tongue and said, "Snake...... Snake...... Serpent!" (To be continued.) )
