Chapter Ninety-Six: You Look Delicious
In the terrible screams, almost all the stomachs of all the patients in a row exploded at the same time!
After the strange muffled sound, blood and minced flesh burst out and splashed all over the ground, like a rain of blood!
For a moment, this also made all the giants lying on the ground stand up in fright.
However, at the same time, they also saw an even more terrifying scene!
Dozens of black shadows lay on the bodies of the dead patients, making extremely ugly chirps!
They are almost entirely covered in a brown carapace, each about a meter long, with four pairs of arthropod-like feet, mucus-stained whiskers covering their bodies, and a spiral-like bump on their tails.
Their two pairs of black bean-like eyes kept moving, and finally they both cracked open their terrifying mouths, revealing countless triangular sharp teeth in their mouths!
Isn't this one of those strange insects underground?!
The monsters didn't care about the already frightened giants around them, but became interested in the corpses of the giants who hatched them.
With an indescribable shudder, the monsters began to gnaw on the flesh and bones of their original host!
"Yes, it's those monsters, monsters!" Many of the laborers were directly frightened and lay down, and their voices trembled, it seemed that they had seen this strange insect before.
And more giants ran backwards, many of them craftsmen running with children.
As for the Golden Walkers, they were the worst performers, and they actually fainted directly!
In this moment of crisis, the berserk hunters did not panic or faint like the others, but raised the thick wooden sticks that had been placed by their side as fast as they could, and rushed towards the monsters that suddenly appeared!
"Break each one! Kill!! ”
After one of the tallest berserk hunters roared, he led several people around him to the place where the chief had fallen, and several people picked up their weapons almost at the same time!
"Poof!" "Squeak!!"
A loud bang rang out at the same time as the screams of the strange insects!
The thick green juice exploded in an instant, and a heavy rain exploded!
The other berserk hunters also launched a raid on the bugs on the ground that were still gnawing on minced meat!
Countless screams and disgusting sounds of breaking insects continued to sound, and in a short period of time, they almost wiped out the monsters!
However, not all of the bugs are vegetarians.
Some of them dodged the first wave of attacks of the Berserk Hunter at great speed, and soon used their newly grown worm limbs to support their bodies and began to fight back!
However, these monster insects obviously overestimated their strength.
Despite their terrifying mouths, they have forgotten that they are only about a meter of larvae, and the only thing they can get in front of a berserk hunter who has an absolute advantage in height and speed and is still holding a weapon is to be beaten into a mess of mud and thick green sap!
The berserk hunters quickly settled the battle.
They gasped for breath and looked at the dozens of dead bodies lying on the ground with extremely sad eyes, as well as the corpses of the insects that had been blown up.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that these strange insects had actually emerged from the bellies of their companions.
The Rage Hunters lifted up all the unconscious Goldwalkers and woke them up.
The labourers and artisans who had fled before also returned.
In the dazzling light of the gold ornaments, they watched the miserable scene all over the ground together, silent.
Guo Sen was equally incomprehensible by the series of events that had taken place before and after.
He really didn't think that what could turn a giant with such a strong body into a patient with a belly like a big ball was not the various diseases he had thought of, nor was it poisoning, but the giant worms he had seen lurking in the burrows before!
Guo Sen clearly remembered that these giant insects should have slowly hatched from the eggs carried by the female worm, but how could they have reached this point now, but instead regarded the giants as hosts, frantically absorbing nutrients in their abdomen, and cruelly breaking out of their abdomen?
What the hell happened in between?
He pondered.
Suddenly, I remembered that in the past, there were also hard laborers who went out to carry timber and violent hunters who hunted, and suddenly became patients.
Could it be that they were burrowed into the stomach by worms at that time?
The laborers might be that stupid, but the Rage Hunters shouldn't.
How did that come to be?
With doubts, Guo Sen shifted his gaze to the area where the laborers and berserk hunters frequented.
Suddenly, he noticed that there were some dead animals in the forest.
These animals are also thin except for the abdomen.
He used his mind.
The abdomen cracked open, and a gray-black young worm wrapped in mucus flowed out with the internal organs, and then struggled in the air for a while, and then slowly stopped moving.
Sure enough.
Animals can also be parasitized, so it seems that they are not only targeting giants.
The giants eat cooked meat, and they probably won't pick up such dead animals to eat.
So where do the larvae of bugs get into the bodies of animals and giants?
Guo Sen looked into the ground again.
He looked carefully for signs of giant insect activity nearby.
Soon, he discovers the giant worm's nest that he had searched for before.
This is not the group that is close to the armored orcs, compared to that side, there are no natural predators near the giant insects here, and they seem to be living very moist.
In this nest that has been dug into a vast underground space by countless giant insects, the female insect seems to be much more moisturized than the one she saw before, and her body is more bloated and fat, and her back is not covered with thick eggs.
Its main job seems to be to lay eggs in the burrow below.
The rest of the bugs dug quite a few tunnels that led to various parts of the forest.
Guo Sen saw that when they kept crawling out, they were all stuck with a thick layer of transparent balls.
There is no doubt that it is the eggs that I just saw.
Do the bugs bring their eggs outside......
Guo Sen seemed to understand something.
He continued to observe.
The insects crawled out of the tunnels and then into the forest and grassland.
As they pass by various plants, their eggs rub on them, and some of them are more intelligent, and they will run to the side of giant trees and low shrubs that bear fruit, and deliberately hang a large number of eggs on them.
When the eggs and the fruit are put together, they have a clear and moist appearance that creates a certain illusion, and they are gathered together like pearls, making them more attractive than the fruits.
Guo Sen saw that some strange-looking animals came down to pick fruits to eat after the giant insects burrowed back into the tunnel.
Some people see eggs and put them in their mouths and swallow them.
The case has been solved.
I see.
Before, he thought there was some special method, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
You just need to pretend to be "delicious".
