Chapter 9: The Black Silk Thread
is the so-called Wangshan running a dead horse, on the top of that small building, Zhou Zimo obviously saw that the skyscraper was not far away, but he only knew what despair was when he dragged Li Miao's corpse!
It wasn't until a curved moon rose in the sky that Zhou Zimo finally saw the appearance of the building, he was already tired and sweating, not to mention that he had to rearrange the gravel after walking for a while.
By the time he pulled the body to the front of the building, he didn't know how much time had passed. In one go, Zhou Zimo forcibly insisted on dragging Li Miao into the hall on the first floor of the building with his will.
When he finally completed his goal, he collapsed on the ground, so tired that he almost collapsed, and he didn't even have the heart to eat...... He just wants to sleep!
There was no need for a process at all, just a moment for him to fall asleep, which was a manifestation of the near exhaustion of his physical strength, and he spent a peaceful night under the deep night sky.
On the fourth day, the sun shines in an orange-red flame of light, sprinkling warmth on the world.
Zhou Zimo didn't know when he woke up, because he felt a heart-piercing pain in his right elbow.
"Uh-huh......" He turned around with difficulty and looked towards his elbow, only to see countless black filamentous spikes "biting" the wound there! They didn't know if they were attracted by Zhou Zimo's blood, and kept bouncing up from the ground and sticking to the wound, but before they could take the next step, they were thrown away in an instant like ice cubes falling into a hot pot, and a little blood was torn out of the wound by the way.
No wonder he feels pain, can someone prick your wound with a needle without pain?
The moment Zhou Zimo saw the source of the pain, the chaos in his mind became clear, and he bounced away like a frightened cat, looked at the black filamentous spikes in disbelief, and then looked at his own wounds, which were originally scratches, but now they became blurred with flesh and blood.
When I woke up, the stinging pain turned into an unbearable pain like a fire!
"It's... What is it? Zhou Zimo bared his teeth and muttered. Those spikes were still beating in place, but because Zhou Zimo was far away, they couldn't touch the flesh and blood, so they jumped much shorter than before, showing a kind of fatigue.
Zhou Zimo walked forward a little, frowned and looked at them carefully, and suddenly found that these spikes were split from the front of three black winding thin lines, and along these three lines, he suddenly saw that the source turned out to be Li Miao's corpse!
"it!" Zhou Zimo screamed, hurriedly looked at his elbow, and regardless of the pain caused by the blur of flesh and blood, he took out a piece of clothing and wiped it away from the wound.
"Hiss-" The pain that was already piercing his heart suddenly worsened, and the pain made Zhou Zimo sweat profusely.
He finally wiped the blood away a little, and his tears hurt out, but fortunately, after careful inspection, there was not a single trace of that strange thing left on his skin.
Finally relieved, but what about the wound? Is it just left to dry in the air? …… Don't get infected!
Zhou Zimo had the intention to use clothes to do a bandage, but this was already one of the only two pieces left, and the fabric of the clothes was not suitable for bandaging, so after struggling for a while, he still decided to forget it, after all, although the wound looked serious, it was not deep, it was all skin trauma.
I was so tired last night that I didn't even pay much attention to my shirtlessness, put on my clothes three or two times, and didn't pay attention to the conspicuous blood-stained place on my waist, and raised my eyes to study the silk thread.
There was a small puddle of blood on the ground, which should have been brought out of his body by spikes, and the strange thing was that this puddle of blood had not coagulated until now!
It looked like it was because of the threads, the tips of which were bouncing and the back of them were rippling in the blood.
What are they doing? Zhou Zimo feels nauseous, is he sucking my blood? But I didn't see any blood consumption.
In fact, Zhou Zimo is not to blame, after all, there are only a few people in the world who know this thing.
Only this layer of skin on the Shadow Emperor's body is so active, and from one point of view, this layer of skin can be regarded as a kind of life. It is like a parasite, providing the host with powerful physical abilities on the one hand, but also devouring the host's body on the other.
When Li Miao was still alive, this body had a special organization responsible for the energy needed to transform this layer of skin, and the transformation consumed directly came from the blood source in his blood!
But it is not to directly consume the blood source, but to refine the contents of his blood. This body is like a reactor, blood is fuel, and blood is an accelerant, so Li Miao, or the Shadow Emperor, he needs to replenish a large amount of blood regularly to fill his own consumption, which is why he sucked blood when he was in Li Zimin's army.
And these spikes are the "tentacles" secreted by the skin itself, and the function is to sense the new host, after all, once the corpse of the previous host is fully devoured, they will enter dormancy if they are not replenished for a long time, and the dark green liquid that was stepped on by Zhou Zimo before and splashed out of those holes in the arm is the tissue fluid melted by this skin!
Although Li Miao had just died, and his body was still some time away from being swallowed up, his skin was still attracted by the bloody qi emitted from Zhou Zimo's wound, so he secreted such tentacles to investigate.
Zhou Zimo's blood is too attractive to it, after all, there is something in his blood that is of the same clan as the blood but of a different race, which he himself does not know.
It was because Li Miao tasted the beauty of this thing that he showed mercy to Zhou Zimo's subordinates and extracted his blood in an attempt to improve his own evolution.
The boss also knows a little bit, so he is extremely interested in Zhou Zimo, so this time Li Miao's mission in Hongfeng failed, he was so angry.
But what the skin doesn't know is that although the things in Zhou Zimo's blood have a fatal attraction to it, they also have fatal lethality, even if this thing is in that place, it can be regarded as a very cutting-edge breakthrough, thanks to the fact that the content in Zhou Zimo's blood is not high, otherwise this layer of skin will melt in an instant!
Therefore, on the one hand, they longed for Zhou Zimo's body, but on the other hand, they were rejected by this body in every way, which led to the previous scene, if they were to change people, I am afraid that they would have been completely devoured by the skin......
It's just that the reason for all this is far beyond the scope of Zhou Zimo's understanding at present, and he doesn't realize how dangerous his previous state was!
But no matter what, he survived safely, didn't he?
Zhou Zimo couldn't see what this thing was about, and he didn't dare to touch it with his body, so he used the previous steel bar to test. He tried to put the blood into the ground, and the sharp throbbing of the spikes clinged to the rusted steel, but after a while, all the threads fell off of their own accord and changed back to their languid form.
He tried to poke back and forth in the blood, but still did not cause a spike reaction, Zhou Zimo saw this and put the steel bar on the back three black thin lines, because of the blood on the top just now, the thin lines instantly wrapped around the steel bar several times, squirming and pulled all the blood on it, and then let go of the steel bar.
"Hey!" Zhou Zimo couldn't cry or laugh, he was only interested in blood for a long time, right! But thinking about it, it is also common sense that what Li Miao got out of his body was interested in blood.
However, Zhou Zimo was still not ready to give up, he changed his way, those steel bars slashed back from the first thin line, trying to cut off the connection of these thin lines, but he didn't want them to be exactly the same as the skin on Li Miao's body, and he couldn't stop at all!
