Chapter 261: The Importance of Sharp Spear Technique
Many people don't actually know that, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a 'snail' in this world, and molluscs such as conch, slug, and snail are actually slugs. It's just that in daily life, we are used to calling the shellless slug, the shelled and aquatic ones called the conch, and the shelled and terrestrial ones called snails.
The shell of the snail is not born, the newborn snail has a soft mantle, very inconspicuous, as the snail gradually grows, the mantle will secrete a dense viscous substance, after encountering the air, it will become hard and large, and then in a spiral way, gradually grow into the 'small house' behind the snail.
After listening to Ling Mo's explanation, Zero twitched the corners of his eyes and asked, "Dad, do you mean that those slug wriggling everywhere on the ground are actually juvenile snails, the children and grandchildren of those two giant snails?"
"Wipe them all out?" Ling Mo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not something you can do, these snails have extremely strong reproductive ability, and they will kill a batch and a batch." Moreover, they are also a very important part of the Decay bio chain, and many creatures will not agree to destroy them. ”
After a brief explanation, Ling Mo no longer paid attention to Zero, but turned to Lanaya and asked, "Tell me, what are you hiding behind the city wall, so that you can provoke these snails and launch a siege on you?"
Lanaya turned her head away and didn't look at Ling Mo: "I don't understand what you mean, we live here well, these snails are here, that's all." ”
"That's all...... Ling Mo smiled silently, "Do you know what the name of this snail is?"
Seeing that Lanaya didn't answer, Ling Mo spoke to herself: "The name of this snail is 'Gui Niu', which means the final destination of the soul. They are slow to move and have a very docile temperament, and will not actively attack other creatures under normal circumstances, but will only feed on rotting plant leaves. ”
"If it's like you, or like the Knights of Punishment standing on the wall, the soul is clearly self-conscious, and can discipline its actions, it won't attract them. Only those chaotic souls whose consciousness has been shattered, who hardly possess the last instincts, and who are only one step away from disintegration, will attract their attention, be regarded as a delicacy, and try to eat it in their mouths, and whoever stops them, they will eat the blocker with them.
So, you might as well tell me, what the hell are you hiding behind the walls?"
Hearing this, Zero already understood a little, she let out an 'oh' sound, covered her mouth, and let out two arrogant sneers: "Oh, hehe~! Every day it is said that our obedience to the sect is a cult, and I thought that the followers of the Split Sky Sect were such holy white lotuses, and they were actually doing such a dirty deed!" I said that the punishment knights on the city wall are all full of spirit and soul fire, and they can also make the stunt before birth, it turns out that they raise low-level souls like pigs for themselves to absorb at any time, so that they can raise themselves so fat and fat!"
"Admiration, admiration, I really admire! Think I'm a cult saint, and I'm still living like a wild animal, and you punishment knights have already started animal husbandry and entered an agrarian society where drought and flood guarantee harvests! Too economically minded! It's just ...... What is the difference between your behavior of raising human souls as pigs and those demons in the Abyss Plane? Is this the doctrine of your Sect of the Splitting Void? Zero speculated viciously, maybe the souls of your companions are just a dish of food in your eyes?"
Ranaya was furious, almost bursting with rage! She raised her head sharply, opened her mouth to say something, but lowered her head again, as if she was going to kill and listen to her.
I didn't expect to stimulate the other party like this, but I still couldn't let her speak, Zero was in a hurry, her hands were itchy, and she couldn't wait to pinch Lanaya's neck again, and just when she was about to move, Ling Mo suddenly said:
"You are willing to bring us here, you must not want your companions to die in the belly of a snail, you want us to help, whether it is to kill the snail or kill your companions, right?"
Seeing that Lanaya's body paused imperceptibly, Ling Mo smiled and said, "But if you tell us what you are hiding, we will not help, after all, no one wants to be wronged, do they?"
Lanaya raised her head slightly, her face full of hesitation, opened her mouth a few times, but finally said nothing, looking extremely entangled. Ling Mo didn't urge more, just pointed down the slope and said, "I don't care how long you hesitate, it's just that these snails, I'm afraid they won't give you too much time to hesitate." ”
Looking down at Ling Mo's hand, sure enough, under the city wall, a huge change had taken place!
Although those punishment knights can barely defend, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the attacks of these slugs, large and small, are actually very sharp. Among the swarms, less than a third of the slugs attacked at the same time, and just then, the magic shield was already extinguished. If there were more slugs involved in the attack, it would only be a matter of time before that section of the wall was breached. In particular, the two most special giant snails with volutes did not make a move, which made people feel doubly desperate!
But the punishment knights are extremely stubborn, when three hundred people were guarding the hot spring pass, in the face of tens of thousands of mage legions did not flinch, at this time in the face of these insects, they naturally did not retreat, just silently cast spells, silent turns, use every bit of time, hurry up to recover their physical strength.
After a long time of attacking, the insect swarm is obviously a little irritable, they have supported their upper bodies, the tentacles on their foreheads are towering, the saw-shaped mouth with tens of thousands of teeth is wide open, and the spitting mucus is becoming more and more dense, those punishment knights suddenly feel the pressure increase suddenly, the magic shield began to flicker rapidly, and many of the punishment knights who support the magic shield have dark blood from the corners of their mouths, looking shaky, but they just can't hold on!
"Hey! These stubborn stinky stones still retain this attribute?" Zero grunted in dissatisfaction and explained, "These Punishment Knights have permanently solidified the magic of 'Athena's Evil Holy Grail', and the more mental power is consumed, the lower the amount remains, and the faster the recovery will be." So a lot of times they look like they're about to be seriously injured and dying, and they can still send out strings of magic, they can't be annoying anymore!
"......" was a little surprised that this cult saintess was so honest, praised herself without hesitation, and did not hide her envy, Lanaya was a little surprised for a while, raised her head and glanced at Zero, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a doll-like scream!
It turned out that the two giant snails that had been looking at each other finally had a new move at this time!
They originally just stretched out their tentacles, guarding each other against the enemy, but at this time, at the top of their antennae, each opened a strange eye, which revealed a fierce light, staring at each other viciously! Moreover, at the bottom of the antennae, slightly to the left, there was also a long and narrow air hole, from which a whining scream, intimidating the other party, but the sound was unusually permeating, as if a group of babies were crying loudly at the same frequency, producing a strange sound!
This kind of high-frequency vibration rhythm makes people feel very uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts, and after listening to it for a long time, they will feel that their internal organs seem to resonate with this sound, and they will tremble together! It is similar to the feeling of motion sickness, but it is dozens of times stronger! From the stomach to the throat, from the lungs to the nostrils, it seems that something is going to forcibly flow backwards and burst out of the body!
"W-Is this some kind of attack...... "Zero pressed her chest and abdomen, trying to dispel the nausea a little, but the effect was not good, and just as she was about to say anything more, there was a continuous cracking sound of 'pop bo' in her ears, and all of a sudden she blocked what she wanted to say!
Under the city wall, the slugs who were close to the two giant snails, their bodies all involuntarily trembled with that kind of sound, and the more they trembled, the more they trembled, the more they trembled, and after a while, their bodies began to swell, and their skin began to bulge unnaturally, and finally there was a soft 'pop' sound, and it exploded into disgusting red and white juice all over the sky!
There were too many slugs exploding at the same time, and their juices were piled up under the bodies of the two giant snails, forming a small lake, and the two snails did not dislike it, each leaning down, sticking out their long serrated tongues, and greedily licking the red and white juice on the ground. In the high-definition lens, you can clearly see that there are tens of thousands of fine and sharp teeth on this serrated tongue, which crush all the tissues in the juice into a paste.
This scene is definitely a dense phobia welfare, obviously a creature that exists in reality, but it is even more terrifying than the alien in the horror movie!
"Because the common snail in daily life is so small, everyone actually doesn't notice that the snail's eyes actually grow on the top of its antennae, in other words, its eyes are actually hanging on the outside of the head. Ling Mo opened his mouth and explained:
"What's more amazing is that its breathing hole and excretory hole are the same hole, both grow on the left side of the eye, and the weird sonic attack just now is essentially the same thing as the banshee's 'scream of pain', just a small means of the snail. Due to the uniqueness of the structure after the integration of the stomata and the excretory hole, after the snail is charged, it can spray viscous and extremely corrosive excrement at high speed, which is its powerful skill - foul odor spray!"
"Also, that is to say......" Zero smacked Ling Mo's words, and suddenly came back to his senses, with an indescribable strangeness on his face, pointed to the punishment knights on the city wall, and said: "Actually, the scene where those heretics are being attacked now is essentially countless slugs throwing at them? And they are about to be unable to support it, and they are about to be drowned in? This is too ...... Zero felt that this kind of scene was too pitiful, and even the enemy's way of dying was too embarrassing...... Right?"
“...... I think it's better for you to learn how to speak subtly in the future. Ling Mo's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "If you can, it is more heroic to describe it as 'heroic righteousness under the overwhelming bombardment of strong acidic corrosive shells'. ”
Zero was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, I'm going to save them, first rescue them, and then slash them, this kind of death should not be the last fate of a heroic warrior." So ......"
"You can't do it," Ling Mo directly interrupted Zero's words, pointed at the two giant snails, and said, "Look, those two big guys are full, and there will be a big move next!"
Indeed, as Ling Mo said, the red and white lake on the ground had been sucked up by two giant snails, their bodies swelled slightly, and the skin on the surface became more and more translucent. When they raised their heads high again, Zero realized that at some point, a sharp spear stretched out from each of them to the right under their antennae!
This spear is really very long, more than five meters long, the front end is in the shape of a narrow blade, dripping green slime from above, and the end flashes with the unique cold light of super sharp weapons, giving people the feeling that they will die next to each other if they rub it, and it is definitely not ordinary! Then, the two snails flowed out of the air holes of a cloud of green viscous substance all over their bodies, scratching on the ground with difficulty, approaching each other, and after a certain distance, they shook their heads, waved their spears, and fought together! That fierce posture, as if there is an enmity against the sky, I can't wait to pierce the other party's head in the next second!
"W-What are you doing?" Zero felt that he had lived for nothing for so many years, and he didn't understand the inner world of Warcraft at all:
"What the hell are they doing? Why don't they catch the enemy who is close in front of them, but instead kill each other?! Zero thinks that these two snails are very sharp, and feels that he has learned a lot of fighting skills!"
"Of course their spears are very sharp, in fact, if you're a snail, you're going to be very sharp. Ling Mo stared closely at the movements of the two giant snails, explaining a little absent-mindedly: "All snails are hermaphrodites, and they rely on the competition to determine who plays the male in the mating by whose spear technique is sharper. ”
"Oh, that's ......" Zero nodded clearly, then suddenly stunned and exclaimed, "What?!! dad said these two big guys, what are they doing?!!
"Don't you understand? I don't think I'm clear enough. Ling Mo frowned and explained seriously: "These two snails are not killing each other, but competing to see who is stronger, and whoever can poke the spear into the genital hole in each other's head first is the 'male'." You must know that snails and slugs are very dangerous to mate as 'females', and once the other party's skills are not good and stabbed crookedly, it is not uncommon for the head to be pierced and die on the spot, and there are ......"
After that, the words floated past her ears, and Zero couldn't hear what Ling Mo was talking about, she only felt a buzzing in her head, and turned her head again, looking at the fierce attack and defense of the two spears in front of her, and the fickle-for-tat sparks were flying, she always felt a little difficult to look at directly, and there were only a few idioms left in her mind:
Knowing the man and going up, dancing with guns and sticks, and shining with bananas......
