Honey Swamp ——?

Isn't that the last world on 45?

This thought had just floated from Lin Sanjiu's heart, and he saw that No. 43 suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "It's not easy to do now, I don't seem to have any pungent smell on my body...... So what deworming should we take? ”

"No, I think it shouldn't just be about the wind oil essence," Lin Sanjiu subconsciously retorted, and then he was stunned - it turned out that he had unconsciously imitated Ji Shanqing's way of thinking and thought of such a point: "After all, you also saw that bug, it really doesn't look like something that can be driven away by a bottle of wind oil essence, right?" Both Harry and the Bug have emphasized that everyone has a chance to talk to the Bug and use this opportunity to keep themselves from being bitten - which means that it is the 'words' that ultimately need to pass this level. I think No. 46 must have thought of this, so he used the smell of wind oil essence to give him an excuse to convince the bugs. ”

"Y-How did he convince the bug?" Number 43 was a little stunned when he heard this.

"Then I don't know," Lin Sanjiu shook his head, "But if it were me, I would take the opportunity to show that this smell was emitted by poisonous pesticides." ”

"But Harry said he wouldn't use pesticides, so ......"

"That's true—but Harry didn't tell the bugs, did he?" When Lin Sanjiu calmed down, his mind was not slow: "Harry told us that he would not take the initiative to spray pesticides, but the insects don't know this." Bugs must also be judged from our external conditions, who has pesticides on them and who does not. ”

That is to say. He lied to the insects and said that the wind oil essence is an insecticide...... "No. 43 shook it a few times, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head: "For insects, wind oil essence is a rare smell, and it is also very irritating, so it is indeed easy to believe his words - so what should we do next time?" Isn't the bug convinced that there is an insecticide over there, and won't it bite us again next time? ”

"Now that you know what the excuse is over there, it's easier to do, it's better than just having a black eye." Lin Sanjiu answered, and then felt a feeling of weakness rising from his legs. Obviously, the physical strength she had replenished for half a day had not been consumed by talking for a while. “…… You don't think so. Are we recovering too slowly? ”

"I found out a long time ago." Number 43 immediately chimed in, "I'm sorry, how are you feeling now?" ”

"Not so good." Lin Sanjiu shook his head, "According to my estimate." After being bitten by a bug. It would take a day of sitting still here to recover—there must be something strange here. ”

That being said. But how to quickly replenish energy, when the next insect will come, and what to do when it will come - for these questions, neither of them has a clue at the moment. I couldn't help but fall into a somewhat dull silence again.

After sitting in place for a while, the night finally began to fall from the sky.

The sky was a deep dark blue, dotted with countless bright stars like diamonds, as if a brilliant Milky Way was about to pour down from the sky...... After staring at the night sky for a long time, Lin Sanjiu's eyelids slowly sank.

No. 43 on the other side of the earthen bridge was already asleep, and the sound of long breathing sounded rhythmically, high and low. Although the environment is strange at the moment, if you think about it, it is much safer than in other places: the other group of people cannot go down the earthen bridge, and no one except the bugs can come to their place; And if the bugs come, they will definitely wake them up first...... Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu finally couldn't support it anymore, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he fell into deep darkness.

She also didn't know how long it had been her sleep.

…… When Lin Sanjiu suddenly woke up, the farm under the night was silent.

The night seemed to be deeper, and from a certain direction in the distance, there was a faint chirping of cicadas.

There was no movement on the earthen bridge of the group of No. 46, and it seemed that they had fallen into a deep sleep. The moon was half obscured by dark clouds, and the spilled light was like milk mixed with water, so faint that one could only see the hazy outlines of the night.

Since entering the cave, Lin Sanjiu has never felt the burning hunger in his stomach except for the moment after being bitten by insects; At this time, she slept for a while, she felt that her spirit was much better, and she estimated that her physical strength should be almost enough, so she sat up as quietly as she could.

"Mimic, Ji Shanqing." She spoke softly, barely hearing the words herself—no, no.

As soon as the mimicry was successful, Lin Sanjiu immediately realized that the reason why she didn't hear herself just now was not because her voice was too soft; But it was at this time that a low, muffled murmur sounded from another earthen bridge not far away.

The murmur was faint as if a gust of wind could blow it away, but she caught it keenly.

It's just that Lin Sanjiu listened motionless for nearly half a minute, and he didn't hear what the sound was—until a "hiss" suddenly sounded slightly clearly, as if something had been peeled off—listening to the sound, it seemed that it was still difficult to tear it.

Another voice sounded next, and Lin Sanjiu finally realized what was happening on that earthen bridge.

She had heard this noise before—not only her, but Ji Shanqing had also heard it.

The first thing I heard when I went down to the cave was the Honey Swamp, the dead body of Number 44, the voice on the earthen bridge, and the "dissonance" I noticed when I was in the cave...... When all the clues are put together, the truth begins to emerge. Lin Sanjiu even felt a little strange: Why didn't he notice such a simple thing before?

"What's that sound?"

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, a greasy voice suddenly rang in her ears without warning.

Lin Sanjiu was startled and took a few steps back to the side. She almost let a low cry come out of her throat - she lowered her gaze and watched as two long, slender whiskers protruded from the edge of the earthen bridge, and then a great black shadow rose.

Fortunately, it was night, and I couldn't see the details of the giant worm's face and abdomen, except for the reflection of the shell on its back in the moonlight.

This guy ...... Hungry so soon? Lin Sanjiu thought disgustedly.

Although the exact time is unknown, the last time it bit was no later than the afternoon; Judging from the current sky, it seems that at most 12 hours have passed.

"Why don't you speak?" The giant worm laughed and swayed its whiskers back and forth—the murmur on the bridge across it had stopped somewhere, but then it sank into dead silence, not even a warning of "the pest is coming"—but on second thought. This is also normal; That person didn't dare to speak out at this time.

"Say something. I was the first to come to you. "When it moves occasionally, the part of the worm's body illuminated by the moonlight is enough to give people goosebumps layer after layer.

Lin Sanjiu closed his mouth tightly and shook his head. He pointed to the earthen bridge opposite.

"What? What do you mean? The giant worm lowered its voice. The "rustling" sound made by the insect body is more obvious: "...... Yes. Are you trying to get me to talk to them first? ”

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

It's like a two-trick move, now that the tricks of the No. 46 group are already known to her, if they can use the dialogue opportunity before they make their own moves. Then she is almost eighty or ninety percent sure that she can let the pests bite the No. 46 group.

"Ahh......h That's not going to work. Because I bit you last time, according to the rules, I have to talk to you this time...... Even a pretty lady is useless to intercede. "However, the beetle refused, and placed its countless thin feet on the edge of the earthen bridge, which looked numb." What do you think? Which of the two of you will come first? ”

Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to say anything, so he quickly moved two steps to the side and kicked No. 43, who was still sleeping soundly. The latter jumped up at once, and the confused look on his face when he first woke up quickly dissipated when he saw the giant beetle.

Glancing at No. 43, Lin Sanjiu sighed.

"I'll do it." When she spoke, she tried her back to No. 43, not wanting him to see her completely different expression and temperament from before: "...... I wasn't prepared last time, and I didn't remember until you were gone. ”

"Oh? What's up? "The beetle seems to be interested.

"I don't know how Harry did it," Lin Sanjiu complained first, "...... But he wasn't a good farmer. The land is already barren with nutrients, and there is so little we can absorb as plants. I haven't fully recovered since I was bitten twice by you last time, and I'm running out of juice now...... I think you also want our shoots to grow well, right? ”

Seeing that the beetle waved its tentacles, as if in affirmation, she continued, "So, I would like to ask you to keep an eye out for any Harry's nutrients near this farm. ”

"Nutrients?" The beetle looked taken aback, and even Number 43 gasped behind her.

"That's right...... I knew Harry had nutrients because he had mentioned that he would only use them for shoots that were doing well. I don't know which sprout has the nutrients now, and they won't admit it if I ask, but I can't wait. If you can steal some nutrients for me, I'll let you bite, how about that? ”

"Wait, wait," the beetle swayed its thin feet dramatically, "wait, wait, wait." You've said so much, I don't know what that nutrient looks like! Besides, if I were found out by Harry, there would be only one death. ”

Lin Sanjiu used the action of wiping his face to cover the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but raise. When she spoke again, her voice became more earnest: "Please!" If you don't help, even if you don't bite me, I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few days...... The nutrient was in a glass vial, for plants, and it was a green liquid like oil, which was applied directly to the body—"

"Ah, you're up in time." This time, when the time was announced, the beetle also looked a little regretful; Waving its tentacles, it turned to Number 43: "...... Now it's your turn. ”

No. 43's face was still stunned, looking at Lin Sanjiu for a while, and looking at the beetle for a while - Lin Sanjiu's expression in this life was only afraid that he had never been as rich as he is now; She didn't dare to make a sound, and exhausted all the explicit and implicit methods she could think of, only to see that No. 43 finally suddenly realized "oh", and suddenly made her heart fall back into her stomach.

"Yes, yes, I know that nutrient!" No. 43 wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You can see that I am also a weak plant when I take off my shoes and sit here...... That nutrient is important to all of us! The bottle of nutrient is about this size—"

He stretched out his finger and gestured at the size, and said, "If nothing else, there should be a green label on it." When applied to the body, the plant absorbs a lot of nutrients and becomes very juicy and strong......

The beetle in the darkness was silent for a moment, not knowing what it was thinking; After a while, it said with some hesitation, "...... I've seen one like this. But that doesn't seem to be a nutrient, right? ”

When Lin Sanjiu heard this, he hurriedly took a few deep breaths towards No. 43, and pointed to his nose again. glanced at her in a panic, No. 43 was stunned for a few seconds, and then slapped his thigh: "That thing you've seen, doesn't it smell particularly strong?" If you rush it, it's right, but if it doesn't have a taste, it's probably not...... After all, it's Harry's thing, and in addition to increasing nutrition, I also want to use its smell to repel insects......"

"They lied to me!"

The beetle screamed high, and its shiny wings spread all at once—the man on the other earthen bridge was also awakened by this sound, and realized at last that the pest had come out again; It was only after they called "vermin" a few times, and the time of the 43rd also happened to be up, and the huge beetle turned around and flew onto their bridge deck.

Both of them lifted their hearts, and immediately threw themselves on the edge of the fence, trying to prick up their ears.

From the earthen bridge opposite, there was almost immediately a fierce conversation—the first to speak, as if the first to realize that something was wrong, No. 46; It's just that he still didn't forget to keep his voice low when he spoke, so he couldn't hear the key to Lin Sanjiu.

"You say, can Number 46 turn this around?" Number 43 asked softly, somewhat uneasily.

"I don't know, but I've said everything I can." Lin Sanjiu sighed. "I warned the pests, they won't admit to using nutrients, and your explanation of the smell of wind oil essence is also very good...... Next, it's a matter of luck. If I'm not mistaken, the next person to be bitten should be number 45. (To be continued.) )

PS: Eh, I suddenly received another one from @蓝染紫 and Shibi, I'm really a little happy hahahaha. The chapter that is owed because of this will definitely be remembered with a rope life...... After all, it's the love of this text......
