Chapter 529: Feather Tail (II)
"Waterthirsty?! Then you let us give him water, aren't you helping to abuse him? Dazhe was in a hurry, and he even knew how to use idioms.
"That's because you don't understand the habits of this feather-tailed centipede." "The feather-tailed centipede, native to West Africa and ******** tropical rainforests, is a large, highly venomous centipede with a maximum body length of 20 centimeters. Its special feathery tail legs, also known as trailing feet, are sensory organs with bright and peculiar colors. When encountering enemies, it can make a clattering and intimidating sound, and the rhythm is the same as that of a rattlesnake. Feather-tailed centipedes are ferocious, neurotic, and fast-moving, and will attack or run away suddenly. Be sure to check whether the lid is well covered every day, if you raise it in a shallow box, it is easy to run out, you can use a large box buckle or catch it with a net. ”
"But you still haven't said, what does it have to do with water?" Dazhe asked.
"Moths fight fires, knowing that after fighting the fire will be a life but still desperately pounce over, without hesitation, the feather-tailed centipede is like this, it loves water as life, very fond of gathering where there is water, often drowning in the water, but unrepentant. Feather-tailed centipedes are raised by making water into water droplets and popping them in cages, so that even if the centipede pounces on the water, it will not lose its life. Yun Ximing said.
"I see, so this thing is pretty stupid." Dazhe said.
"But what if we're outdoors and we don't have water?" Sister Wang Na asked.
"If you are bitten by a poisonous insect like a centipede outdoors, don't panic." Yun Ximing said. "First of all, you can quickly find a strip of cloth and tie it tightly above the bite to prevent the venom from continuing to spread, and remember to let go of the strip once every fifteen minutes or so to avoid necrosis of the bite site. After the wound is tied, wash the wound with soapy water or disinfect it with alcohol. If the bite is not very serious, or you don't have any of these things around you, but it just hurts, you can use Houttuynia cordata or dandelion to mash it externally, both of which are heat-clearing and detoxifying. If you can't find the herbs. You can also start by applying ice around the wound to relieve the pain. Then cut open the skin of the wound, suck out the venom with a suction device or cupping, and rinse the wound with ******** or lime water. Another way to deal with poisoning is to make a small hole in a raw egg. Then stick the small holes of the raw eggs to the wound. Raw eggs suck all the venom away. It's best to use two in a row, the principle is similar to cupping drugs. These are all common sense in first aid. Yun Ximing said.
"I really didn't expect dandelions to be of such use." Yun Ning said with emotion.
"Well, it's almost time. Let's see the effect. Yun Ximing said.
We all thought about looking at the corner of the wall, but strangely, there was not a single centipede lying on it, and the top of our heads was still densely covered with centipedes, which looked very infiltrating.
"Brother Childe, let's mess it up, how do you explain it this time, but now the centipede hasn't come down." Dazhe gloated.
Yun Ximing's face was very ugly, but he was more puzzled, "Strange, it shouldn't be, according to what I know, this thing likes water very much." Yun Ximing said.
"Young Master of the Yun family, you just said that it is best not to touch the feather tail of this thing, why is that?" Sister Wang Na asked.
"I know how poisonous this thing is, but the information only records what happens if it bites, and doesn't say anything else, but I did really see it once, it was an accident, when we were teaching in the field, suddenly a student found a centipede, it is this feather-tailed centipede, this thing is still rare in our local America, so I grabbed it and played. Who knew that the centipede suddenly cut off its tail feathers, and then a faint purple liquid flowed out, which was dripping on my student's arm, and the whole arm, immediately like a boiled eggplant, melted, and the student let out a terrible scream, or our old professor was quick to take out the emergency knife he had with him, and the knife fell down, and the student's arm was cut off from the shoulder, which saved the student's life. Yun Ximing said.
"Oh my God, you're a great professor." Yun Xian said.
"yes, that's my mentor, I was his assistant at the time, and he's almost the bravest man I've ever met in my life." Yun Ximing said.
"I really should write an interview with such a legend." Min Lan said.
"I'm afraid not, my mentor likes to explore, always goes to some off-the-beaten-path places, the most recent time he chose an active volcano, and then just as he was at the top, the volcano erupted, and people never saw him again, until the eve of the Chinese New Year, my classmates in the United States told me that they found half of his body, which had almost been carbonized." Yun Ximing said sadly.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Don't talk about this, Sister Wang Na, why did you ask me so much just now, did you find anything?" Yun Ximing asked.
"It's nothing, I just think it's strange, and I think this thing in front of us doesn't seem to be quite the same as what you said." Sister Wang Na said.
"Different? What's the difference? ”
"You just said that this centipede will make a clattering sound, but there is no such sound in our tomb." Sister Wang Na's words reminded me, yes, this tomb is too quiet, except for the previous time when the insects came, we heard a slight sound, but now we can't hear any sound.
"That's true." Yun Ximing also found out, "Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment again, why are the things in this tomb so strange." ”
"Along the way, there are few strange things we have encountered, don't worry about these for now, now that there is ice, if you don't want to know the solution, the ice will turn into water." Yun Xian reminded.
"I don't think there's a need to worry, that guy over here won't wake up for a while, but he can't wake up, I'm afraid we won't be able to get by." Arrow said.
"Ah Luo, if you have made any discoveries, if you find them again, you should say it quickly." Yun Xian was already impatient.
"Won't you take a good look, there are a lot of centipedes on it, big and small, but look over there, see what it is." Ah Luo pointed to the tomb door of the ancient tomb over there, and he didn't notice it just now, there were two pillars on both sides of the tomb door, which seemed to be redundant, and it looked very incongruous.
"Huh? When did there be two more pillars here? Yun Xian said.
"We've all seen it, what's going on, it was obviously not there just now." Yun Ximing said.
"If you can't see clearly, just go in and take a look, and don't tell me you can't see what it is." Arrow said.
I took a closer look, the two pillars, straight and straight, showing an orange-yellow translucent appearance, the most terrifying thing is that under our feet, I don't know when there were two more feathers, just like us as a carpet.
"This can't be, what tail feathers are?" Yun Xian said with emotion.
"Obviously, that's it, we're dealing with this guy's feathertail, so it looks like we're not dealing with some minions." Arrow said.
"But I don't understand, aren't these little feather-tailed centipedes alive, they suddenly poured in like that just now, and the formation is really scary." Yun Ning said.
"These things should have been attached to the body of this big feather-tailed centipede, and they poured in together, you know, under the dim light just now, we couldn't tell if this was a group of feather-tailed centipedes or a feather-tailed centipede. Now it seems that this guy should have turned all the little centipedes around him into his own nourishment, just like the five saints who said that the fat man said that the five saints fought each other, this big guy defeated all these centipedes, and finally became the overlord here, and these little guys became his victims, a part of him. Yun Ximing said.
"It's clear now, but no matter whether it's a group or a group, we don't know how to deal with this thing, the ice is also gone, the water is melted, but we just can't attract this big guy, what can we do." Sister Wang Na said.
"I think it's a good thing that this big guy hasn't moved, let's hurry over and take a look at that door now, and then no matter what centipedes are here, hurry up and find that guy Zuo Ci, solve the problem, and go out." Dazhe said.
"I agree with what the fat man said, since people don't move, we can't disturb people, so it's better to sneak over quietly." Yun Xian said.
"I think..."Before I could say the word, we heard a strange sound, which was in our ears, very clear, click, click, click.
"Looks like this thing doesn't really want us to leave." Uncle Lu said.
"I see, this thing has been trapped in this tomb for many years without water and no food, in fact, it has entered a dormant state, it just came for us, and has been lurking since it came, and now I'm afraid he is ready, ready to start eating." Yun Ximing said.
I looked up at the ceiling, it was pitch black, and I couldn't tell what the guy was, but the whole ceiling was covered in it, which showed how big he was.
"Yun Ximing, what are we going to do now?" Yun Xian asked.
"Water, we still have to use water, we don't have enough water now, Yin Yin, get some ice out, we need to pile the ice together, we need to move quickly, we need to get it done before this thing completely wakes up." Yun Ximing said. (To be continued.) )
