Chapter 21 Toad Ginseng
Seeing the toad fall to the ground, it slowly stopped moving, as if it was dead.
Everyone was panting, and it was inevitable that their hearts would beat when they recalled the thrilling scene just now.
Especially Wang Tianyu, who barely got up from the ground, and his whole body was a little out of strength.
He had just come back from a spin before the ghost gate was closed.
If it weren't for the wonderful effect of the heat flow in his body, he would be dead by now.
"Good...... It's dangerous. Wu Xinyi wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Just now, she also threw stones and attacked, and she was more brave, no longer in danger like before, only screaming in panic.
Zhao Tian gasped and said, "Is this monster dead?" ”
Wu Xinyi said: "I don't know, I should be dead, right?" ”
Shi Lei slowly approached and said, "How much meat does such a big toad have?" This guy's meat shouldn't be poisonous, I don't know how it tastes, it's enough for a few of us to eat for a few days. ”
He licked his lips as he spoke.
At this moment, the snow-white object that resembled the upper body of a human suddenly moved on the back of the toad that had fallen to the ground and was no longer moving.
Shi Lei was taken aback and hurriedly stopped.
I saw the hands of the snow-white humanoid object crawl up on the ground, and soon pulled the lower half of its body out of the dead toad's back.
Suddenly, a large amount of blood mixed with snow-white juice flowed out.
When Xiao Han and the others saw it, they all showed strange looks on their faces.
The upper body is almost identical to a human's snow-white foreign body, waist-high, but with a large number of roots.
Previously, the roots of "it" were deeply rooted in the body of the giant toad and lived on the toad's back.
Now that the toad is dead, it pulls out all these roots from the toad's corpse.
With both hands on the ground, he jumped up in the air violently, like a flea, and pounced on Shi Lei, who was closest to it.
It happened suddenly, and Shi Lei was taken aback.
There was no time to dodge, the monster hugged Shi Lei tightly with both arms, and the countless roots under his body opened, and he stabbed into Shi Lei's body.
It actually wanted to move into Shi Lei's body.
Shi Lei was frightened, and suddenly grabbed the monster's arms, and the heat in his body boiled, and he wanted to shake the monster away.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain like pins and needles in my abdomen, as if countless extremely long needles had pierced at the same time, and the strength in my body suddenly leaked.
Xiao Han and Zhao Tian also reacted.
Xiao Han was the closest, and rushed up with an arrow, and it was too late to move the stones at this moment.
Feeling that the strength in his body was boiling, it seemed endless, Xiao Han roared sharply, and slammed a punch into the monster's head from behind.
This punch smashed down, and Xiao Han felt that all the heat in his body was like a surging tide, and all of them suddenly poured into his right arm and returned to his fist.
Then, this heat flow bursts out.
"Peng" sounded.
The monster's snow-white head, which had seven holes, shattered like a watermelon hit by a hammer.
Snow-white juice splattered out like a fountain.
But as soon as the juice touched the air, it immediately turned into white smoke and rose and dissipated.
Xiao Han was stunned, the power of this punch was so great that even he felt surprised.
When he withdrew his hand, he found that his right hand was numb and painful, and he had just exerted too much force, but he was afraid that his finger bones were injured.
Shi Lei had already fallen on his back, gasping for air.
The human monster holding him, after the head was shattered, the snow-white body was like a leaky ball, a large amount of juice flowed out, and the body withered.
The roots that had penetrated into Shi Lei's body began to fall off.
escaped a catastrophe, Shi Lei's face was as pale as paper, and he barely used force to push away the dead monster lying on top of him.
In just a short period of time, the snow-white body of this humanoid monster had completely withered.
What used to be snow-white and shiny skin is now like an air-dried orange peel.
The snow-white juice that permeated and flowed out evaporated and disappeared when it met the air.
Soon, all the matter in the humanoid monster's body evaporated, and all that was left was a thin skin that dried out.
Xiao Han's right hand smashed the snow-white head of this monster with seven holes, and his hands were covered with this snow-white slurry.
But as soon as this snow-white slurry came into contact with the air, it immediately evaporated and disappeared, and there was no need for him to wipe it.
After the snow-white slurry evaporated and disappeared, Xiao Han noticed that there was still a layer of blood-red substance on his hands.
This substance is somewhat like human blood.
Xiao Han broke a wound on his right hand, this was the punch just now that was too strong, the fist hit the monster's head, although it shattered the monster's head, his hand was also injured.
It's just that the wound is not big, could it be that the blood is flowing from these wounds?
Xiao Han didn't think much about it, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The blood that he thought was from the wound on his hand turned out to flow backwards and poured into his wound.
"Huh?" Xiao Han thought that he was dazzled.
Busy looking closely, he found that the substance that seemed to be blood had seeped into the wound on his hand and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Han was a little confused, wondering if he had read it wrong just now.
Suddenly, I realized that the wound on my right hand had healed together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then formed a slender scab.
After that, the scab peels off.
The wound was completely healed, not even a thin scar fell, and it seemed that this hand had never been injured.
"This ...... This ......" Xiao Han was stunned.
"What the hell is this monster? Could it be a parasite? It was parasitic on this toad before, and it just wanted to parasitize on me. ”
Shi Lei on the ground slowly climbed up, feeling that the strength in his body was slowly recovering.
Fortunately, after the monster died, except for the remaining layer of skin, other body tissues were automatically evaporating and disappearing, and even the roots and tendrils that were rooted in his body disappeared, so as not to leave sequelae.
Zhao Tian sighed and said: "This thing has already shown seven tricks on its head, and if you give it time, it may give birth to a mouth, nose, eyes and ears, but I remember that I heard a legend about toad ginseng when I went to the Northeast before." ”
"Toad? I've heard of ginseng, what is this toad ginseng? Shi Lei was curious.
Zhao Tiandao: "According to local legends, there is a very special toad in the deep mountains and Daze, old and refined, can find some extremely rare ginseng, He Shou Wu and other treasures, this toad eats ginseng He Shou Wu, after the toad eats ginseng He Shou Wu, it lives longer and longer, and the body size will become larger and larger, when it eats more treasures such as ginseng, these treasure essences will precipitate in its body. ”
"Finally, after a few more years, these treasure essences will form a toad, and the toad will take a step further and turn into a toad, which will grow from the body of this toad, and after hundreds of thousands of years, it will be able to grow into a human form."
Zhao Tian said this, and smiled: "This monster in front of me is a bit like the legendary toad ginseng, with seven orifices, I am afraid it will take thousands of years." Legend has it that if the seven orifices are opened, the ginseng blood can be condensed in the seven orifices, and when its whole body is replaced with ginseng blood, and then the mouth, nose, eyes and ears grow, it will take off the toad body and become immortal. ”
