Chapter 226: Red-bellied Corpse Worm
In the face of the sudden danger, Miyazaki Zhi was quite calm: "This is the red-bellied corpse worm that has hatched, Lao Zhu, I'll leave it to you!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhu He, who was standing next to me, had already made a move.
I saw that there was a small golden box in his hand at some point, and his mouth began to chant words at a very fast speed, which sounded like some kind of mysterious spell.
Under his recitation, he saw that the lid of the golden box opened automatically with a bang, and a cold air rushed out of the box in an instant, and exploded after rising into the air, and the crystal clear powder fell one after another.
The scorching air in the secret passage seemed to have a hundred and eighty degrees in an instant, and the temperature plummeted. I felt that the sweat exuding from my whole body instantly turned into a cold sweat, as if a layer of frost had fallen on my surroundings.
Just wondering what the hell was going on, something magical happened.
The menacing army of red-bellied corpse worms in front of us suddenly stopped, and although it was still spinning like a whirlwind, it seemed as if it had suddenly lost its purpose.
Sure enough, after hovering in place for more than ten seconds, they reversed course and disappeared into the darkness far away from the secret passage.
Look at the body, it has been covered with a layer of white leaves, similar to the shape of snowflakes crystals, evenly distributed, shining in the firelight. I couldn't help but be amazed at the fat man.
In my impression, although Zhu He is one of the few people who can survive, the strength of this guy is quite limited, at least before this, I don't see anything outstanding about him. never thought that he still had such a hidden hand.
If Michael is more of a charging tank in the game, and the agile Anna is an assassin, then Joo He is more of a mage or a priest.
It's just that I don't know what kind of elixir powder is contained in his glittering little box, and it even has the effect of repelling corpse insects.
It's no wonder that when they were fighting the skull summoned by Ye Maung before, Zhu He's combat ability was obviously weak, but he was only slightly injured and saved his life, which must have something to do with the medicinal powder he carried with him.
Looking at the surprised eyes of me and the fat man, Zhu He was happy, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and put the golden locket in his hand back into his pocket, looking like a baby.
He told us that the red-bellied corpse worm is similar to ordinary flying insects, which are advanced from eggs to reptiles, and then go through what is called complete metamorphosis in biology before finally becoming an adult that can fly.
In the larval and reptile stages, they have eyes, but once they become adults, their eyes will degenerate, and from then on, they rely entirely on the sense of heat for predation and life, and the food they eat has changed from mainly corpses to living people.
The ice powder in the small box he just now was not an insect repellent powder, but it could just instantly reduce the temperature of the human body, so it had a miraculous effect on the red-bellied corpse worm. And the ice powder lasts for a long time, up to two hours.
In this way, as long as we don't spend more than two hours in this secret passage, we don't need to be afraid even if we encounter that disgusting army of red-bellied corpses again.
After experiencing such a thrilling scene, everyone's morale was raised.
The fat man was even a little excited, and he sighed with emotion. What do you say about the maid teaching evil demons, all evil forces are paper tigers, and it doesn't matter if people like Michael, Anna and other international friends can understand it.
Miyazaki frowned, saying that things might not be so simple.
"Red-bellied corpse insects are rare in the world, but they are made of the dander on the body of a thousand-year-old corpse, this thing grows and reproduces very slowly, and it can grow to an adult and has such a scale, it is impossible to ...... it without a few decades."
According to the results of the long-term investigation of the Inhuman Association, it has only been about three or four years since the establishment of the Handmaiden Sect, and there is really no reason to raise such a large swarm.
Let's not talk about these questions, let's just talk about the source of the red-bellied corpse worm, where is the thousand-year-old corpse hiding? Is it in this underground cavern? Could it be that this underground cave was not built by the Lady-in-Waiter Sect at all, but an ancient relic of thousands of years?
I've really seen a thousand-year-old corpse, and the corpse boy in the city community that day is one, and their family is crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom, which almost made me confess my life to the fat man.
I thought about it for a while and asked Miyazaki, didn't you say that the female demon was serving an ancient demon, could it be that these red-bellied corpse worms were mass-produced by that guy?
Miyazaki Shi shook his head, saying that although thousand-year-old corpses are rare, they are far from the ancient demons, and it is not even ruled out that they are mercenaries who follow the demons, and the so-called back to the big tree is good to enjoy the shade.
And according to his judgment, what we encountered just now was only a small group, and it is estimated that the number in this secret passage is far more than that.
But now everything is just speculation, and no matter how many mysteries there are, it is imperative to get out of this secret passage first.
The crowd continued to walk forward, and sure enough, as we continued to go deeper, there were more and more red-bellied corpse insects on the walls and ceilings on both sides.
In the end, it simply became a dense blockbuster. Because these insects are red all over their bodies, they look like fresh flesh and blood attached everywhere from a distance, making people's scalps tingle.
Most of them were lying still on the ceiling above us, as if asleep, and some were dancing slowly around the torches on the walls, in strange poses.
Although with Zhu He's ice powder attached to his body, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by them, but such a huge amount was still shocking to watch. Thanks to the fact that none of us have dense phobias, otherwise we would have fainted.
As I walked, Tang Jue suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes and whispered in an embarrassed voice, "I...... I want to go to the toilet......"
As the saying goes, "there is a lot of and urine on the donkey", which is really not wrong at all. But under the current conditions, it is definitely impossible to arrange an independent toilet for this master. I waved my hand a little irritably, telling him to hurry up and solve it himself.
Tang Jue's courage was not big, he hesitated and didn't dare to walk behind alone, for fear of falling behind. There was no way, I communicated with Miyazaki and asked everyone to stop and rest for two minutes, so that Uncle Tang could release the water.
Don't say it, Tang Jue is quite particular.
Although he was scared to death, considering that there was still Anna, a big Russian girl in the team, he walked backwards five or six meters away before he began to untie his pants with his back to us.
The walls on both sides were full of red-bellied corpse insects, and Tang Jue naturally didn't dare to approach and avoided them from afar.
I must not be interested in the urinating posture of this cousin, and I was about to sit down to drink saliva when I heard a scream from the cousin, followed by a bang.
Turning his head sharply, in less than two seconds, Tang Jueren was gone!
"Help me...... Help ......" With the sound of this wail, everyone has rushed to the front, but the scene in front of them is chilling!
