Chapter 232: Touching the Melon

Not sleeping all night has no effect on the general-level demon tamer.

Walking on the lively streets of Qingquan Town, recalling the old streets that had become lifeless due to the spread of the disease, Qiao Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it weren't for the invading monsters, it might be as quiet and peaceful as the rest of the streets.

"What should we do next?" Lu Weiying looked straight ahead and asked Qiao Yang.

Although it was a success to get rid of the two bugs and save the two teahouse proprietresses, the disease was still spreading on this old street, and there was still a long way to go before the mission was completed.

Qiao Yang smiled confidently: "It's very simple, follow the vine and touch the melon." ”

"Touching melons along the vines?" Lu Weiying was puzzled.

"Hmm. Qiao Yang nodded and explained, "Before last night, when I didn't see the offspring of the plague worm, I always thought that this was a virus-type demon beast that used virus magic to create diseases and spread the plague. ”

"But after last night's battle, I can now be very sure that this is a parasitic demon beast that parasitizes humans by its cracked progeny and makes people sick. ”

"Does that make a difference?" Lu Weiying was still puzzled.

"That's a big difference. Qiao Yang patiently narrated.

"If it's viral, then creating the disease is just a hobby, or an unintentional act. ”

"But the parasitic type is different, parasitism is the root of its survival, and the disease it brings is only a side effect caused by absorbing nutrients from the host. ”

"To treat a target infected by a virus-type monster, you need to purify or dispel the holy light magic, but the parasitic type doesn't need to, we only need to hunt and kill the parasites in the body of the diseased host to complete the task. ”

Lu Weiying frowned: "But there are too many sick residents on the old street, and it's not realistic to go to squat one by one." ”

Qiao Yang smiled and spit out 5 more words: "Capture the thief and capture the king first." ”

Lu Weiying's eyes lit up, and he was a little enlightened.

Indeed, parasitic bugs like this generally kill big bugs and small bugs, and almost all of them die.

And with the combat power of the two of them adding up to a total of 4 general-level demon beasts, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that Lu Weiying had an epiphany, Qiao Yang finally had a feeling that he could be taught.

"The clue is already clear, last night's bug came out of the host's body, representing two signals. ”

"One is the habit of this parasite, which is diurnal and nocturnal. ”

"The second is that a certain time may have been reached, after all, it is rare for parasites to actively leave the body, except for special circumstances such as breeding and mating, they generally choose to stay in the host until they die of old age. ”

"So you're saying that two bugs wanted to mate last night?" Lu Weiying's face was strange, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted at the thought of two sticky bugs hugging each other.

"It's not. Qiao Yang shook his head and vetoed, "Those two bugs are just the offspring of the mother's split, and the task of the progeny is to provide nutrition to the mother, so obviously, last night was the time when those two bugs needed to complete the task." ”

"So we just need to follow the little bugs to find the boss behind the scenes?"

Qiao Yang smiled and nodded, then turned to the flower demon behind him and commanded.

"Well, so Orange leads the way, show us the route you chased the bugs last night. ”

"It's daytime, and judging from the nocturnal habits of insects, it's the best way to do it. ”

Lu Weiying had to be a little impressed by Qiao Yang, and from just a little clue, he deduced so much information, which directly gave the task an eyebrow.

Sure enough, knowledge is power!

"By the way, didn't you say you didn't know much about these kinds of bugs, and why do you know so much now?"

Lu Weiying looked at Qiao Yang, who was full of confidence, and was still a little curious.

Qiao Yang smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Not knowing about viral monsters doesn't mean that you don't know about parasitic monsters.

Some time ago, because of the problem of military training in the valley, he was recruited by the government, and among the members who studied the desert monsters, there happened to be professors who thought they knew a lot about parasites.

After a few days of contact, Qiao Yang really benefited a lot.

It just so happened that this knowledge was put to use in this mission.

The ancients never deceived me, it is really knowledge that changes destiny and learns to create the future~

Led by the flower demon, the two traveled through the center of Qingquan Town, went around and around, and came to the street on the other side of the town.

"Is this the place?" Qiao Yang was slightly stunned.

The flower demon's wings waved, and her pretty little face was full of seriousness: "Huh!"

Not on the old street, the old nest of the plague worm would choose to be in another place so far away, which made Qiao Yang feel a little surprised.

I didn't expect to underestimate the wisdom of this thing, if I don't know much about parasites, I'm afraid that the two of them will turn over the bottom on the old street, and they will definitely not find the hiding place of the mother worm.

But no matter how well the mother calculates, her child has been exposed to the target.

The wisdom of the soldiers is not high, and where do they know how to abandon the soldiers to protect the commander and transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

When its life is threatened, it instinctively runs away and goes to a place it thinks is safe.

Maybe this is a pig-like teammate, Qiao Yang thought silently.

"Then let's look for it, this street is not too big, and there are not many places for demon beasts to hide. After complaining in his heart, Qiao Yang turned his head and said to Lu Weiying.

Lu Weiying nodded, didn't say a word, turned around, chose the opposite direction to Qiao Yang, and stepped out first.

Qiao Yang didn't say anything, took his pet beast with him, and observed the scene on both sides of the street along the road.

Similar to the old street, the whole is also the architectural style of the Republic of China, and the windows are also gray and simple, full of dirt, with a sense of age, and some windows even have traces of damage.

The only difference is that it is full of life, with children playing in the streets and adults busy making ends meet.

These people probably would not have thought that in such a normal street, there was a hidden culprit for spreading the plague.

Qiao Yang opened the illustrated book, and while walking, at the end of the street, a building that was quite old, had been blocked, and a yellow cordon outside appeared in front of him.

There is also a seal on the door of the building, which seems to be a dilapidated house waiting to be demolished, and no one has taken care of it for a long time, so it is overgrown with weeds.

However, Qiao Yang keenly found that on these weeds, there were some traces of objects crawling, and if you looked closely, you could also find occasional gelatinous marks left by the mucus after drying.

"Okay, don't look at it, it's definitely this. ”

Qiao Yang stood outside the cordon, looking at the building and muttering to himself.

I don't know what's wrong with these monsters, why they always like to hide in this kind of abandoned warehouse.

Don't you know the truth of the big hidden in the city?
