Chapter Seventy-Three: The Bone Worm
"I think the people in here may be dead."
The shell-shaped strange insects wriggled and moved in piles, and it was impossible for any living person with consciousness in them not to make a sound. These strange insects were born from his body, so in other words, the raw materials that make up the body of these insects are the flesh and blood of this person.
Even if it is to absorb nutrients, that person will not be able to live.
"I ...... I think so," Cheng Haidong's voice trembled a little, "But, but those believers outside, why don't they shoot these things?" ”
"Killed, look at the ground, there are warheads. But it didn't kill. ”
Although it feels a little ridiculous, the picture in front of me clearly tells me that these shell-like insects have very hard carapaces, hard enough to resist these bullets.
At this time, Cheng Haidong asked me: "Then can we still save it?" ”
"People can't be saved, but ......"
I stared at the wriggling, moving "shells" and had an idea......
"Haidong, you go out first. Ask people outside not to come in, regardless of whether they hear a sound coming from inside...... Unless something other than me gets out of this barn. ”
"Brother Zuo, are you serious? Do you know what this thing is? ”
"I don't know, that's why I have to guard against it."
"Defense?"
I patted Cheng Haidong on the shoulder: "It's okay, go out quickly and lock the door." Explain a few words to them. ”
"Then you stay safe." Cheng Haidong handed me the gun.
"No, guns don't work against them."
Closing the door, I cautiously approached the pile of "shells". They are always slowly wriggling and moving collectively, and when you look closer, they really look like a swarm, like a swarm of worker bees jumping on the surface of the honeycomb. But for some reason, when I saw them, I would unconsciously think of the witch master who was tortured and killed by Zuo Yuan that day.
When the jar that trapped the wizard was shattered that day, those black flesh worms seemed to slowly wriggle and move for a while before they scattered on the ground.
That scene is kind of similar to this.
As I got closer, the golden heart, which I wasn't sure if it was in my body or in my mind, began to beat slowly. It's getting faster and faster, and I'm getting closer and closer. Until the pile of monsters was only an arm's length away from me, I slowly reached out and approached like the pile of monsters.
Next, pinch one of the "shells"!
Click!
There was a slight sound, but it didn't cause the swarm to react, they just squirmed and moved. My hand was a little harder, ready to take off the "shell". But I found that this thing was very tightly connected to the shell underneath, and it didn't seem to be something that could be easily torn off.
So, I continued to increase my strength, and after a little bit of effort, it finally loosened a little.
However, the scene that frightened my heart happened before I knew it, and they didn't move. The swarms that had been creeping and moving regularly before gradually became quieter.
Alarmed by me?
But at this moment, I can't care so much, my hand has already been grasped, so I can only take it down hard.
Click!
As I grew stronger, I heard a subtle thud, as if something was being ripped apart by me, like the sound of a thumbtack being pulled.
Keep up the momentum.
Click!
Click!
The sound continued.
I could feel that the "shell" in my hand had loosened a lot, and then I pulled hard! Pull the whole shell off!
The worm was in the palm of my hand, "turning it upside down", and through the faint light in the storeroom, I could see that under its "shell" was a hideous insect face, with large round black eyes, turned out palatal teeth, and dense slender black whiskers in the worm's mouth. In addition, the insect has six claws, and the end of the barb is barbed, the barb is sharp, and the color seems to be the same substance as the dorsal carapace. The previous "click" sound was the sound of these hooks piercing into the carapace of the "shell" below, making it difficult to pull out.
I stared at the worm for a long time, "You little thing, do you have any special abilities?" ”
That's what I care about.
The demon locust comes from the Dark Covenant Church, so this little thing, I'm afraid it has something to do with it.
I stepped back a little, slowly, and at the same time, clasped the insect's face toward my arm. Originally, I just made a downward buckle motion, and I didn't really put it down, but at the moment when the little insect was facing my skin, it suddenly began to shake wildly, and the six hooks under the shell flipped up violently and stabbed into my fingers!
Because of the pain, I pinched it with strength, which briefly became smaller, and the moment I let go of my hand slightly, the strange insect used my finger as a fulcrum, turned up, and buckled directly to the back of my right hand!
Those six hooks were so powerful that they almost crushed my bones!
Through the touch of my skin, I felt that something as thin as silk was burrowing into my flesh and blood. It's the slender black whiskers in the mouth of this strange worm!
Vampire?
I guess......
However, I guessed wrong. It's not blood, but it makes me feel a cold thing, flowing into my flesh from the black whiskers.
It's bitingly cold, extremely cold!
But then, that cold feeling warmed up. It got hotter and hotter again, like a fire planted in my hands.
I almost screamed in pain, gritted my teeth and stopped, but I realized that my right hand suddenly went limp. Is it a worm poison that numbs, dizziness, and hallucinations? When I looked down, I found that my fingers were drooping and the flesh in my palms was paralyzed, not so much a sense of powerlessness, but rather a sense of powerlessness that I had but could not use it.
Raising his left hand, he pinched it, and it was as soft as a pile of meat. Boneless meat!
"It's pretty much fine, just one bite, it's enough." I'm ready to rip it off, it hurts, but it's bearable. His right hand was torn to a bloody pulp, but the mucus quickly filled it. But at the moment when I threw away the "shell", I suddenly found a terrifying scene.
The pile of worms gathered in one place suddenly began to squirm collectively!
It was chaotic before, but now, they are all in one direction, towards me!
Oops, collective action?
Although these things seem to move very slowly at the moment, the beating of the golden heart is at its peak at this moment! I left and turned and ran!
The moment you rush out of the warehouse, close the door quickly!
Almost at the same moment as I closed the door, I heard a "thud" as it pounded against the barn door! Black hairy tentacles protrude from the cracks in the door.
"What's going on, Brother Zuo?!" Cheng Haidong shot me at the end.
"It's okay...... Don't open the door. ”
Sure enough, the initial slowness was an illusion, and the thing could move very quickly, and I should have guessed when I felt their powerful and powerful hooks.
"Brother Zuo, your hand ......"
Cheng Haidong found my limp right hand at this time. The hand had completely lost its proper form, like a withered flesh-skin glove.
"It's fine, it should be back later." I began to feel inexplicably confident in the insect poison in my body.
Cheng Haidong pointed to the black tentacles in the crack of the door: "What is caused by this?" It's troublesome to come out, you can't die, and you can dissolve people's bones......"
He's right.
Before, these monsters didn't move, and although I don't know why, now because of my interference, they are active. Although the iron gate temporarily blocked them. But this kind of warehouse will not be sealed very well. There must be some other hole that they can get out of.
It will be a problem then.
But can't they really be killed?
The tentacles sticking out from the cracks in the door fluttered like silky hairs......
I turned my head and looked at Cheng Haidong, "I have an idea." ”
I took a pistol from Cheng Haidong's waist, pointed it at the front of a "shell" between the cracks in the door, and fired a shot!
