Chapter 3 Bookworms eat people
Tang Ying saw the tragic scene of giant insects eating people in the open cave, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and went straight to Li Chunfeng's arms, "Woo! This white silkworm is so disgusting! ”
Li Chunfeng hugged her waist with one hand, made a silent gesture with the other, and at the same time lowered his voice and said, "This is not a silkworm, it is a silverfish." ”
"Fish?" Tang Ying also lowered his voice, "What kind of fish is so disgusting?" Besides, still living on the ground! ”
Li Chunfeng saw that the two giant insects were still concentrating on devouring people, and did not notice them, so he said, "You see that there are six legs under their bodies, but their bodies are too heavy to suppress them. Look at zuihou again, there are separated three-pronged tails......"
Tang Ying hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Don't say it, I hate insects the most." You, you're going to clean them up! Or I'll set it on fire. ”
Li Chunfeng waved his hand, signaling her to be calm, "This kind of insect is also called a bookworm." I have heard folklore that if it is on the night of the full moon, the word 'immortal' on the bookworm three food scrolls will turn into a pulse, and you can call the stars to descend to earth, or ask for elixir, or feather into immortals. ”
Tang Ying pointed to the corpse that had turned into blood paste and said, "Can you still turn into an immortal like this?" It's really a crane to travel west...... Besides, such a big ...... Bookworm? She pursed her lips, unwilling to look more.
Li Chunfeng rubbed her hair dotingly, "This rumor has been popular in the Central Plains, and it doesn't seem to be groundless." But what I saw now is quite strange, and the two victims have long since died, and I still have to work hard for the lady to be patient, wait for the husband to see the follow-up, and then deal with these two demons. ”
Of course, Tang Ying had no reason to refute, so he simply nestled in Li Chunfeng's arms, out of sight and out of mind.
The two giant bugs finally devoured the "food" completely, rubbing against the two transparent, slender tentacles on their heads, as if communicating the taste of the food. Every slight turn would make the corpse in the stomach shake with it.
The moonlight flowed down on them, seemingly turning into white paint and dripping into the blood clots in their stomachs. The soft white light traveled and stirred in the scarlet, and soon all the hard flesh and bones in the corpse were softened!
The two bookworms erected their fat upper bodies in unison, as if praying to the moon, and rhythmically shook their fluid-filled abdomen, and their tentacles made a buzzing sound.
After a few moments, the light red liquid seemed to condense in their stomachs into the shape of a ball. The bodies of both of them began to emit white steam like ice cubes melting in the moonlight.
Li Chunfeng was completely attracted by the strange situation in front of him, and stood motionless. Tang Ying couldn't help but be curious, and also turned his head to see what made Li Chunfeng so surprised.
I saw that in more and more water vapor, the figure of the insect flickered, and at first glance it really looked like the shadows of two immortals.
Could it be that the worm wants to ascend to immortality? As soon as he thought of the insect turning into a human, Tang Ying couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.
It was at this moment that a pale pink gleaming bead the size of a human head rolled out of the vapor, and soon there was a second one. Tang Ying and Li Chunfeng glanced at each other, and it was not difficult to guess that this should be regarded as an "egg" laid by insects.
Li Chunfeng only focused on the connection between reality and legend, guessing that this might be the prototype of the elixir, so he nodded silently. Tang Ying was not so lucky. I remembered that I had just eaten a human head, and I made a bead the size of a human head, and it would not be good to recognize anyone. So she, unceremoniously "wow", vomited.
Her voice was quite piercing in the silent cave, and the water vapor was suddenly pumped out of the hollow at the top of the cave by the strange yin wind, and two large insects turned back to pure white. They twisted their heads in unison in the direction where Tang Ying was, their jagged teeth clicking.
Tang Ying wiped his mouth in embarrassment, and whispered to Li Chunfeng, "Let's go out quickly!" The passage is so small that they can't get out. ”
Li Chunfeng saw that she was unwell and a little distressed, so he helped her to go out of the mountain. Unexpectedly, there was a huge suction force at this time, sucking them towards the cave.
Li Chunfeng was caught off guard and grabbed a raised stone on the rock wall next to him. Tang Ying looked back and saw that two big insects were taking turns inhaling, and it was this action that caused the huge suction. Maybe that's how they devour real things!
Tang Ying was originally just snuggled in Li Chunfeng's arms, but did not catch him. As soon as she was distracted, she was pulled out of Li Chunfeng's arms by the suction, and flew towards the bloody mouth of the insects in the hole.
Li Chunfeng couldn't catch up, and in a hurry, he condensed his strength on one leg, quickly swept an upside-down bell stone on the top of the cave, and shot straight into the mouth of the inhaling insect like a kick ball after kicking it, "Be careful!" ”
Tang Ying heard his warning, Zhong Rushi was already flying closer, and she grabbed the edge of the stone like a saddle horse, and vigorously crossed the stone, letting the stone hit the insect before her.
Apparently bugs don't have the ability to adapt that quickly. With this vigorous inhalation, he sucked the stone squarely into his stomach. It seemed to be stuck, unable to breathe any longer, and had to lie flat on the ground desperately trying to spit out the stone.
Seeing this, the other insect didn't dare to suck it anymore, but pouted its ass and took the three steel whip-like tails and pumped them at Tang Ying.
Li Chunfeng had already prepared the spell, and with a snap of his fingers, he had already shot close to the three tails, cutting off the three Qi brushes like a steel knife, and there was nothing left.
The big insect was annoyed and angry, pouting his ass and shooting down at Tang Ying, who was close at hand. Now Tang Ying doesn't care about any exploration, but saving his life is the most important thing. She rolled on the spot, and had already shot two white flames towards the big bug.
The white fire seemed to be the worm's nemesis, quickly enveloping it along its smooth skin. And the strange thing is that the insects continue to shrink and melt in the process of being scorched by the white fire. Instead of a piece of coke, Zuihou became an asphalt-like stain.
Another worm that was stuck in the throat saw that its companion died tragically, and rolled on the ground like crazy, and if Tang Ying was crushed by it, it would immediately turn into a meatloaf.
But how could Li Chunfeng give it such a chance? He had already prepared a few spells, and when he injected true qi, the spells were as hard as steel sheets, directly cutting the worm in two. And Tang Ying tacitly made up for the white fire, and soon burned the giant worm.
Without the two giant worms, the cave was unusually empty. Tang Ying looked around and saw that there were round beads of different colors in the corner, about a dozen. Today's new ones are white, and the darkest one is probably the one from earlier.
Tang Ying wanted to burn it with the white fire, but was stopped by Li Chunfeng. He picked up a stone and smashed it at the bead that had been formed today, the surface of which did not seem to be very hard, and at once it was smashed open a crack, and a thin liquid like egg white flowed out of the crack.
Li Chunfeng had never heard of any kind of elixir like this, so he took the dust and gently pried the beads along the crack, but unexpectedly, a vague shadow floated out of it!
