182. A Different Kind of Tenderness (Second Shift)
Yes? I was stunned, what kind of worm egg monster?
Sheng Shiyao explained to me in a low voice: "The corpses in the pool are only skeletons, and the corpse insects fill all the holes, and a transparent soft worm body is born in the middle of the pool, which should be the parasite of the King of Corpse Gu. ”
I imagined it in my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I knew that the soft worm must be very terrifying, and it would make them all lose color. Unexpectedly, in just a few moments, changes occurred under the stone pool. However, he asked, "Did the worm come out of under the corpse on its own?" Will it come back to life and become another monster? "Instinctively glancing at the bird monster that fell to the ground and died, could it be derived from this?
"It's not." Sheng Shiyao categorically made a judgment, "Originally, I also had this suspicion, but now it seems that it is actually the caretaker of this Gu cultivation pool, someone planted Gu on it, so that it squatted here all the year round, and the corpse qi melted into its soul, so the stone pool membrane layer was broken, and the essence was greatly damaged, and when the corpse insects were wiped out, it also died as if the spirit was drained." ”
The principle of the bird monster is like this, it sounds terrifying and embarrassing, so strong, so that the murderous horned eagle is subservient, in fact, it is just a monster that lives by corpse qi.
"As for how the insect body came out of the bottom, then you have to pry open the bottom of this stone pool to see."
Zhuang Yu heard Sheng Shiyao say this, and his face flashed with surprise, "You mean that the upper layer is a corpse worm, and the lower layer may be a Gu cultivation pool?" ”
I heard them mention the Gu Cultivation Pond twice in a row, which caught my attention, before we planned to go up the mountain to find the Gu Cultivation Pond to destroy it, so as to prevent future troubles, could it be that the source of the Gu Cultivation Pond that led the Gu worms down the stream was not on the mountain, but at the bottom of this stone pool? If so, how did it get those Gu worm eggs to flow into the stream?
Whether there is a Gu King in the body of the soft worm, we can't be sure, but if you rush into the pool, it is really unwise, it is difficult to ensure that the corpse worm in the skeleton at the bottom is not dead, once it is stained, I don't know what the specific consequences are, but it will definitely not be good. In the end, it was decided to rest and then find tools to dig the stone pool, but our tools were left outside the cave and someone had to go back to get them.
Although the horned eagle and the bird monster were annihilated here, it was difficult to ensure that there were other eagles outside the cave, Zhuang Yu counted the number of people with a heavy face, brought out the less injured people, and he led the team back to the cave to get our tools and baggage. And the rest of the people are naturally led by Sheng Shiyao, and everyone has seen Sheng Shiyao's ability, and no one has a complaint about this arrangement.
After Zhuang Yu left with five people, I looked around, and the rest were all remnants. In fact, when Zhuang Yu was counting the numbers, I found out that the team of fourteen people had become eleven people, and three people were lost, including Zheng Dong, who was already injured. It must have happened when I fell into the stone pool and couldn't see the outside.
Under Sheng Shiyao's instructions, Zhou Tong was cleaning up the battlefield, although they were all wounded soldiers and disabled generals, only one or two were injured and couldn't move, and the rest were still actionable. Lifted a few eagles to the corner of the wall, and made it difficult for Zhou Tong to face the giant bird monster, it was difficult to lift, but it just occupied a very important position under the stone pool, because Sheng Shiyao said that the shovel could only start from the periphery, so the obstacles around the stone pool had to be cleared.
After walking around the carcass of the bird monster several times, he finally reluctantly walked up to me and decided to clear my "obstacle" first.
"Little sister, let's move to a different place and sit in the open space over there." Zhou Tong pouted at the side of the wounded rest area, I turned my head sideways and glanced at it and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to move that big piece when you move it away." He glared at me when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, "Little sister, are you burying my brother?" I smiled good-naturedly and replied softly, "How can there be." ”
Sheng Shiyao's deep voice suddenly came from behind him, "What's wrong with you?" I paused before turning my head, and saw him leaning against the wall, looking down at me with heavy eyes, and was about to reply that it was nothing, when his figure flashed, and he walked up to me with an arrow, and his scrutinizing eyes swept me from top to bottom, and looked me cold. The next moment, he stared down and asked, "What's wrong with your leg?" ”
The smile I still had on my face suddenly froze, and I reluctantly said, "It's okay." But he didn't listen at all, and leaned over to untie the laces of my military boots, knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer, and he had already seen the clues. I don't know if it's because I've been sitting for too long, my whole leg is not only numb, but I also seem to be unconscious, I thought it would be good to wait for a while, but I haven't seen any improvement for so long, and I have a faint feeling that something is wrong. When the military boots were removed and the socks were also taken off, before I could react, Zhou Tong was already exclaiming: "Little sister, your feet!" ”
Even Liuzi, who was reluctant to speak because of his injury, said in a hurry: "Why did your feet turn black?" ”
That's right, the exposed paws of the feet became black, as if they had been poisoned. The trousers were rolled up, and I found that even the calves were black, the color was lighter than the soles of the feet, but it still looked terrifying, especially the black seemed to penetrate my skin layer, spreading up little by little, and now it has extended to the kneecap.
Sheng Shiyao asked angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I was so frightened that I didn't expect it to be so serious, and now it was too late to say that I had thought about it, so I could only hang my eyes and hang my head and wait for the training. I don't have to think about it to know that this is the invasion of corpse qi from the soles of my feet, that is, when I was hanging there, my feet were almost touching the cool air of the corpse, and then the danger arose, and Sheng Shiyao appeared, so I forgot about this experience.
Under his hazy face, I whispered the situation all over the time, and Zhou Tong asked worriedly: "Brother Yao, what should I do about this?" Sheng Shiyao didn't answer him, pressed up along the calf with two fingers from the sole of his foot, stopped at the knee, and did the same with the other foot, I didn't dare to ask him what he was doing, so I could only bite my lip and wait.
When he cut the hole in the sole of my foot with the shadow moon, I already knew what he was going to do, and a myriad of complicated feelings welled up in my heart, all of which merged into pain. Sure enough, he opened the bloody mouth in his palm again, and put his palm on the sole of my foot, but this time it was different from before, but it was as if he had sucked the black gas into his palm. Seeing that from the calf to the foot, the black became lighter and lighter, but his palm turned black, and he couldn't help but speak: "Is your hand okay like this?" ”
He glanced up at me, and when I thought he was ignoring me, he dropped two words: "It's okay." The tone is not good, nor is it bad, it is already the anger that has been collected before. I knew that "okay" meant to shut up, so I had to continue to play mime. When the black qi in the legs gradually dissipated, blood began to seep out of the soles of the feet, which was still black at first, then turned red, and the pain also returned at this time.
I can bear this pain, what I am more worried about is his hands, after both feet regained consciousness, Sheng Shiyao's hands also turned black, which is equivalent to putting the corpse qi on my feet into his hands. Seeing that he suddenly got up and left, but didn't force out the black gas in his hands, I couldn't help but be anxious, and I was about to climb up from the ground, but I heard him turn around and scold: "Stay there and don't move." ”
In fact, I couldn't stand up, and there was a hole on the palm of my foot, which I didn't feel when I didn't feel it just now, and it hurt especially at this time. Staring at his figure did not go into the darkness, it was not long before I saw him come back with a medical kit in his hand. Only then did he find that there were several people behind him, it was Zhuang Yu and them, judging from their appearance, they should not have encountered any danger.
Looking at this situation, he also knew that Sheng Shiyao heard the footsteps of their return, so he went over to come to the medicine box first. Disinfection, gauze, bandage, a set of movements skillful and smooth, with a different kind of gentleness. But I don't know if he did it on purpose, he deliberately wrapped several more bandages, not only the foot injury but also my hand, not to mention the hand, the foot is so thick, can you still wear boots?
Bo Liang's gaze lifted and after staring at me for a few seconds, he asked, "Do you think you can still walk like this?" I pursed my lips timidly, but I didn't dare to squeak, when suddenly my breath was approaching, and he leaned down again and picked me up from the ground, and I instinctively grabbed the hem of his shirt, so as not to pull on the wound on my hand, and held my breath so that I didn't show the pain on my face. He was carried around the stone pool, and when he got to the rear, I looked left and right, this was a dead corner, just enough to cover everyone on that side.
Seeing him walk out and walk back again, he also took the medicine box, and was suspicious in his heart, could it be that his method of forcing out the black gas in his hands was very secretive and could not be seen by others? But he was choked by the words he spoke, "Take off your clothes." ”
"What undressing?" I was stunned for a while before I asked awkwardly, Sheng Shiyao frowned, and actually squatted down directly to unbuckle my collar, this time I was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and said inarticulately: "You...... What are you going to do? But he ignored me, pinched my wrists in one palm, and quickly unbuttoned the top collar button with the other hand, and then pulled the zipper to the end, my heart sank, and two words crossed through my mind: It's over. The demonic nature is out of control again...... I was sad and wondered, why there was no warning this time, it was normal to see him before, and the red in his eyes was so faint that he couldn't see it clearly, so it was inexplicable.
"What are you thinking?" A low and cool voice interrupted my contemplation, and I raised my eyes to meet his gaze, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Carrying you here is to help you heal the injury on your shoulder, where do you think?" I was dumbfounded, and black lines appeared on my forehead, and the corners of my mouth twitched twice, but I couldn't find any words to get past it.
Sheng Shiyao didn't give me time to embarrass me, and pointed to the clothes inside me, "Can your hands move?" I wanted to nod, but suddenly I realized that he had injured both shoulders for me, and I had to take off nothing. Quickly shaking his head intuitively, he glanced at me and said lightly, "Then I'll help you." I really reached over, and I was so anxious that I shouted, "Don't! ”
He paused, his dark eyes staring at me.
