Chapter 9: The Night of the Hundred Birds (9)
At this moment, the sun is still sleeping on the horizon, and the wind has not yet woken up. Last night was as calm as water, and there was no three-day destruction of the city that Xuantong lay people hyped up. In the midst of all kinds of apprehension and anticipation of the arrival of the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, the people of Fenglin City spent a torturous night. Who would have thought that the seeds of destruction would have been buried deep in the ground in the dead of night, without anyone noticing.
In another hour, the morning light shimmered on the windswept streets. The abandoned golden black lamppost on the side of the street has been exposed to wind and sun for many years, and it has almost become a piece of broken copper and iron and poured into the soil.
"Alas, what a pity. Yu Hui picked up the golden black lamppost with his hand, "How can the city be dilapidated like this." β
A green earthworm scurried out of the ground, brazenly swaggering through the deserted street. The wind was still asleep in the faint gray-blue smoke screen before the sun rose. The sky was clear, and it must have been a good day.
Any abnormality on the street, Yu Hui looked at it very carefully.
The grass green earthworm looks very weird, not to mention that the green color alone is creepy, and the shape of the front half of the body is no different from that of a normal earthworm, slippery and slippery like a round noodle, and the back half of the body is very strange, with fluff like a bird's tail feather, about a point long, swaying like a big tail swing fan followed by a rich and noble family's travel procession, squirming and twitching, muscle spasms like many twists and turns, and the previous section is completely out of tune except for the color, just like two creatures cut off half and stick togetherγ
That's what makes this poison so special.
The earthworm had been walking leisurely on the ground, enjoying the smell of the wind on the soil of this ancient city, planning when to start a killing. As I crawled, I felt that the ground in front of me began to shake, and judging from the frequency, someone was coming towards me. The grass green earthworm does not shy away from it, and it is the boss on the street with its poisonous body.
"Haha, I caught another wing. Yu Hui squatted down excitedly and looked at the earthworm that had also stopped moving forward.
The poisonous earthworm sensed the arrival of the natural enemy catcher, and was stunned for a moment, even if it had a brain, it was obviously the size of a grain of rice, where could it catch up with the speed of human brain analysis. After hesitating for a while, the wings received a signal to dodge, and the way it retreated was very interesting, not to turn around or burrow, but to turn back the way it came, and eyes seemed to grow from the tail fluff, and it fled with the other half of its round and slender body along the same route as it came.
Yuhui is faster. He stepped forward, pinching the earthworm's head with precision with two fingers. Feiyi was arrested, and he died with a green fluffy tail, Yu Hui smiled and said, "Today is really lucky", suddenly saw Feifeng shrinking his body, the green fluffy tail was quickly cocked and folded, and he was stabbed on the hand that pinched the head, and at the same time, the pinched head stretched out small thorns from the flesh, and the venom slowly pierced Yu Hui's hand. The man's strength in his hands is not loosened.
The wound of the sting was scorching, and a sore numbness gradually extended along the blood vessels to the wrists, upper arms, and shoulders, and the thumbs trembled like convulsions.
Thinking that a sting would be fatal, Wings relaxed his guard and waited for the man to die.
"It's very toxic. β
Yu Hui was not injured.
He laughed, threw his wings into the jar in the bamboo basket on his back, and then followed the sound of rustling in the narrow alley on the left, and pulled out a green snake that had been hiding there in the haystack.
The green snake looked at him with wide eyes, and that obedient and pitiful appearance was the best disguise for the deadly fangs in his mouth.
"I know you want to bite me, give you a bite, come. β
Yu Hui generously stretched out his hand that was stung by the flying wings, and the green snake had never seen such a stupid and stupid human, so he gave him a bite mercilessly, leaving two deep tooth marks. He looked at the triumphant green snake: "What are you happy about? I can't cure the poison of the flying wings, but it so happens that you are here, it is really the best antidote." As he spoke, he pinched the snake's head and lifted it, wondering whether he should put it in the jar as well.
"I really didn't expect to harvest so many treasures just ashore, and last night's landslide and tsunami really portended something - well, the flying wings and the cyanine are poisonous, and when they are put together, they must bite each other until one side dies, but unfortunately I found a basket, and I have to give up one, which one should I keep?"
Yu Hui thought for a long time: "The second uncle always thinks about the flying wing, just because this flying wing is simply a treasure, small and small, but it is a big nemesis, which can solve a lot of toxicity." I accidentally smashed his treasure jar, so I might as well catch one and make amends to him. β
So, he reluctantly let go of the green snake, and the cyan and red lines panicked, and instantly ran into the haystack and disappeared.
"Second uncle, I accidentally demolished your house, and you lost your wings to play, so I will use this treasure to pay you back. β
Yu Hui opened the lid of the back basket and watched excitedly, the same as the child's expression when he opened the honey jar, in addition to two wriggling grass green earthworms, there was also an overlord spider and a white cockroach, the three poisonous insects each occupied a corner, each with a highly poisonous body and locked in one place but could live in harmony and divide the territory. This is the treasure he has caught in the waste of a morning.
Although the tooth marks left by the green snake were painful, they successfully neutralized the poison of the flying wings, the soreness and numbness in the arm quickly eased a lot, and the blockage in the chest disappeared, Yu Hui sat on the bluestone slab and rested for a while, thanking the blue in his mind for appearing in time, while wondering why a pair of natural enemies growing in different places would appear at the same time.
Was it really the landslide earthquake last night? But why was the precursor to the entry of the hundred dragons into the city a rockfall and a shaking of the earth's crust? Is there something else that is not easy to detect?
Look inside the back basket, not only the flying wings and escaping cyan, but also the overlord spider and the white cockroach are not wind species, in fact, the black-toothed moth, acid ants, rat women and other poisons seen in the city this morning are not produced by the wind lin.
It seems that almost all the poisons in the Jiuding Country, the Land of Extreme Origin, are gathering towards Fenglin City.
Yu Hui depicted in his mind the scene of ten thousand insects and poisons gathering at the meeting, and he felt that it was quite funny, but it was ridiculous.
"You go and report to the second uncle, and you will say that I have gone ashore. β
He summoned a black crow, muttered twice, raised his hand and let it go, and called the black crow back.
"And the seven tails who beat me when they see me, and find out where the others are. Hey, I'm going to have to walk around him......"
Yu Hui stretched his waist and was full of energy: "On a new day, there are a lot of things to do! Hurry up! The last few copper plates, although I really want to eat a Fengji xiaolongbao first, there are more important things to do." β
So, he quickened his pace and rushed to Cui's mansion.
