Chapter 313: Twelve Hour Worms
"What is the content of the test?" Qu Xinchen said.
"You'll know when you get there." The thin old man said.
We walked out of the small door and walked along the sheep intestine path. The thin old man closed the door, leaving only the faint light of the fire shining from within.
The whole process was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation, only the corpse oil lamp in our hands reminded us that the test had begun.
The path is narrow and winding, lined with tall miscanthus grass, and it is quiet all around, without any insects or birds, only the occasional rustling sound of a cool breeze blowing. I grabbed the corpse oil lamp, which served as a lighting tool.
The faint light stiffened the miscanthus grass on both sides, showing a hint of weirdness, and the smell of this lamp oil was really strange, it should not only be corpse oil, but also other things.
Walking through the dense miscanthus bushes, going deeper and deeper, a bamboo forest appears in front, this bamboo forest is very luxuriant, the bamboo of large clumps of large bushes is scattered, the trunk is thick, the branches are horizontal, and the thick dead leaves are stacked, it is really an old bamboo forest with years.
The old forest is overgrown with wild grasses, most of which are potato, and the underground trees are covered with a large patch.
I carried the corpse oil lamp and walked cautiously, beware of the light being extinguished.
"Let's do it here, he only talked about the old bamboo forest, and he didn't stipulate how deep he had to go." I said.
The crowd stopped, and we found a place to sit and rest.
I looked around, this old bamboo forest was untouched all year round, and the vegetation was full of trees. However, there is no accumulated yin qi, and the feng shui of this place should be good.
"If you're coming to spend the night in the woods, you should bring an oven and skewers." Qu Xinchen said.
He still wants to have a barbecue here?
"You can save it, don't burn it in such a dense forest." I quipped.
"No, it's only fun to barbecue in the woods, it's not so easy to burn," he replied seriously, and then sighed, "I originally told my classmates that I would go to the riverside barbecue in the next few days, hey!" ”
"Classmates? Do you read? I was surprised.
"Yes, junior, this time they came to the school to find me."
I looked at Second Master Wei, she knew it from the beginning. Although it is natural for Qu Xinchen to study at his age, this kid doesn't look like a student no matter how he looks at it.
We had a casual conversation to pass the time, and the night was long.
The old forest at night was cool, but this place was too dense to make a fire, so we had to endure it.
Rustling......
A slight sound came, and I subconsciously turned my head to follow the sound and saw that there was nothing.
I carried the corpse oil lamp and shone it over, only to hear a faint creeping sound, and something crawled out of the potato plant wrapped around the old bamboo. I leaned over with the corpse oil lamp and looked closely, only to find a pair of small reflective eyes, which were lying on the bamboo, staring at the firelight, motionless.
Is this a lizard? The body is very similar, but the head is not quite like it, it has a pointed nose and nose, hair and tentacles, and two round ears on its head, like a mouse.
What is this? A type of lizard? Or a mutant mouse?
"What are you looking at?" Qu Xinchen said.
The rat-headed lizard jumped up and jumped towards me, I was startled, and quickly retreated, who wanted Qu Xinchen that guy was about to come over, and directly hit a piece. With a slam swing in my hand, I felt a pang in my heart, and quickly stood up and held on to the oil lamp.
A snap of fingers sounded, only to hear a click, and something fell to the ground.
Second Master Wei and Tu Yi immediately came over, and the group stared at the rat-headed lizard that fell on the pile of dead leaves.
"What is this? It's so weird. Qu Xinchen said, and he was going to touch it with his hands.
"Don't touch it, it's poisonous." Tu said.
Qu Xinchen was startled, his outstretched hand shook, and he quickly took it back.
"What is this?" I asked Tu'e.
"It's the twelve-hour worm." He said.
Twelve o'clock! There's such a thing! Fortunately, I was able to hide in time, and it would be bad if I was bitten by this thing!
"Lingnan Foreign Matter Chronicles" contains: "There are insects in the south, as big as guarding the palace, the feet are long and the body is green, the flesh is cut red, its head changes with the twelve o'clock, the son is a mouse, the ugly is a cow, and the pig is a pig, and the sex does not hurt people, and the name is called to avoid service, and those who see it are festive." ”
I don't know if it's really festive, the old man said that this thing is highly poisonous, "hurts people and dies", "bites people and can't be treated", if you are bitten by it, you will die!
At twelve o'clock, the insect suddenly moved, and I was about to retreat when I was startled, but after it struggled for a moment, its body moved, and then it stopped moving completely. I breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't dead just now, and it was okay now.
Second Master Wei became vigilant and motioned for us to pay attention to the movements around us.
The group held their breath and pricked up their ears.
The breeze blew, and the old bamboo forest rustled, and a rustling sound sounded from all around.
Second Master Wei made a sudden move, and two flying knives flew past my ear, followed by two knocks.
My scalp was numb, and I turned my head to look back, only to see two twelve-hour insects stabbed on the bamboo with a throwing knife.
"Good skills!" Qu Xinchen was amazed.
A dense rustle came from the grass and trees around us, and we leaned together, keeping an eye on our surroundings. Under the faint light of the corpse oil lamp, the twelve insects crawled out, all on the bamboo and in the grass, and a pair of reflective eyes looked straight at us, more precisely at the corpse oil lamp in my hand.
I immediately understood something, and said angrily, "They were attracted by corpse oil lamps!" ”
I said what the dead old man was doing with the lamp, it turned out to be this function! The person who holds the lamp naturally becomes the target of the twelve-hour bug!
If it's a lonely soul and a wild ghost, how can it be good if there are so many twelve-hour insects!
Second Master Wei pulled out a flying knife and stopped in front of me, protecting the corpse oil lamp, and at the same time protecting me.
I was supposed to protect her, but now she protects me.
"Don't be nervous, if it's just an ordinary poisonous insect, just put some Gu medicine to drive it away." Qu Xinchen said.
He took out a small bottle and unscrewed it, and a strange aroma permeated it, but it was quickly muffled by the strange smell of the corpse oil lamp.
The twelve o'clock worms around them shrank and jumped in this direction.
My heart pounded, thanks to what this kid said, he swears that he has a fart!
Second Master Wei flew out of the flying knife and shot down a few twelve-hour insects that pounced on me. Swiftly drew a dagger from his waist and swung it at the twelve-hour worm that pounced. According to her skills, it is not a problem to deal with these poisonous insects.
Tu raised his hand, silently recited in his mouth, and the twelve-hour worms that pounced were shaken down. This guy's spells are still the same as hex.
I was sandwiched between the two of them, clinging to the corpse oil lamp.
