Chapter 614: Brain-sucking worms

"What you say makes sense, but they are still in each other's hands, and they are in a hurry, what if the other party poisons them?"

Bai Xinghua asked with some concern.

"Let's act when we see the opportunity, it's almost dawn, and then we have to hide our whereabouts as much as possible, so that the other party can't find us again."

As I spoke, I put down the white apricot blossom, slowed down the speed of tracking, and just locked on to the figure of the stand-in puppet with my vitality from a distance, and hung it silently nearly two hundred meters away.

The stand-in puppet is close to 100 meters away from the other party, and we are close to 200 meters away from the puppet, and the two sides add up to 300 meters, and in the middle are dense primeval jungles, so it is difficult for the other party to find out the whereabouts of me and Bai Xinghua.

Of course, the fact that the two people who were left behind did not go back would arouse their suspicions, but they were only suspicious, and they did not necessarily know what had happened.

The further we went, the more complicated the terrain became, the jungle was dense and wet, and the clothes on Bai Xinghua and I were quickly soaked and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Because it was too dark, Bai Xinghua couldn't see anything at all, so she could only hold my arm tightly and follow me forward.

As a result, I can feel a soft friction on my arm from time to time, and the crispy feeling makes my heart throb, but it also makes people feel a lot more at ease.

"Whoa—"

After a while, there was a splash in front of me, and I frowned and probed, only to find that a small river appeared in front of me, the water surface was about twenty meters wide, and the puppet would not choose a suitable route by himself, so he went directly into the water and went forward.

Fortunately, the river was not deep, only waist-deep, and the puppet walked smoothly, and its figure disappeared into the jungle of the wild Hesse again.

Chasing to the river, I wrapped the slender waist of the white apricot flower, jumped over, and landed on a big tree on the opposite bank of the river, and then made another leap, and it was more than ten meters away, and landed firmly on the ground.

Bai Xinghua had almost absolute trust in me, and she hugged me tightly throughout the whole process without any unexpected sound.

Bai Xinghua's reaction made me feel calm, and I was about to continue walking, when I suddenly heard a "rustling" sound, and when I looked around, I found that this forest was different from the previous jungle, the woods here were obviously much wetter, and the fallen leaves on the ground were thicker, and there seemed to be something in the fallen leaves.

At this time, the moon had set, and it was the darkest period before dawn, and the whole world was instantly plunged into unprecedented horror.

"A trace, I don't feel good, it's too dark, I can't see anything, I have a flashlight here, do you want to turn it on?" Bai Xinghua leaned against me and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I can see it clearly, we don't change everything, it's easy to be discovered by the other party when we turn on the lights, don't turn it on yet, you hold me tight, and leave everything to me." There seemed to be something in the fallen leaves, and it wasn't very safe, so we went up to the tree. As I spoke, I half-hugged the white apricot blossom in my arms, climbed onto the trunk of the tree, and a few rabbits fell and caught up with the stand-in puppet in front of me.

However, when I got close to the puppet, I realized that the puppet had not moved.

What's going on?

I was intrigued, and after a closer look, I found that the puppet was hanging headfirst in the air, apparently stepping on a hunting trap and being controlled.

Of course, the hunting trap wasn't the point, the point now was that the golem was crawling with a lot of flesh-white bugs.

"Something happened, let's go down, do you have a way to disperse some biting bugs? For example, locusts. "I stopped on the trunk for a while, checked the situation, and couldn't help but ask Bai Xinghua.

"Sprinkle more of this powder on your body," Bai Xinghua said, taking out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket.

Due to the darkness, she couldn't see her surroundings, so I had to do it. I sprinkled her with powder, then I sprinkled some on myself, and then I jumped to the ground with her in my arms and approached the puppet.

"Turn on the lights, but try to shine on the ground and don't raise it too high. The puppet was controlled by the trap and couldn't continue to track, so I guess the other party has already run away by this time, and it's okay if we turn on the lights, and they may not be able to see it. I said to Bai Xinghua.

Bai Xinghua nodded, took out a flashlight and turned it on, and then she heard the movement in front of her, and subconsciously took a look forward, and immediately saw a very terrifying scene.

At this time, under the direct lifting of the rope, the stand-in puppet of the ring head was swinging head down, feet up in the air one meter above the ground, and at this time, his body was crawling with fleshy white insects the thickness of little fingers and more than a foot long. The bugs looked like earthworms, but they were much larger than earthworms, and they were all wriggling and burrowing towards the puppets.

The light of the flashlight was lifted up, and more insects could be seen crawling down the rope, and then when I looked at the branch of the tree tied to the rope, I found that the white flowers on it were also crawling with insects, and the tree seemed to be the nest of those insects.

The puppet was not afraid of pain and had no sense of touch, so it was indifferent to the insects that gnawed at its body, and it just kept shaking its body at this time, trying to break free.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

As soon as the puppet's body shook, many insects immediately fell and fell onto the fallen leaves with relish.

After the insects landed, some of them quickly burrowed under the fallen leaves and hid, while others raised their heads and probed towards me and Bai Xinghua, as if they had already smelled us.

"What is this?" I asked Bai Xinghuadao.

"Brain-sucking worms," Bai Xinghua subconsciously shuddered as she spoke, obviously terrified of those bugs.

"It's a brain-eating bug? How come I haven't heard of it before? I frowned.

"This is a strange insect unique to Miaojiang, and few outsiders know about it. Look at that tree, it's called a zombie tree," Bai Xinghua flashed a flashlight and shone on the big tree with the puppet hanging.

I looked at the tree by the light, and at a glance, I found that the appearance of the tree was very strange, not very high, only about 20 meters, the main pole was straight, and there were several thick side branches, basically no leaves, and the surface of the tree was covered with green long-haired moss, and the moss was scattered downwards and stuck to the trunk, and some traces of water could be vaguely seen from above. Going up the trail of water, at the bottom of the first and second side branches, there was a fist-sized hole in the tree, and the white insects had come out of the hole.

"This tree has long since died, it has been hollowed out by those bugs, and there is a nest of bugs inside, and there is more space under the root of the tree, and the whole tree has completely become a parasitic place for bugs, so it is called a zombie tree. Those bugs are called brain-sucking worms, and the main reason is that they are called brain-sucking worms because they can drill along the nostrils of people and parasitize the human brain. According to legend, someone accidentally got into the brain by this bug, and at first he didn't know it, and then he gradually went crazy, and his behavior became more and more strange, until he finally died, and he couldn't see any damage on the surface, but his brain was already empty, and his hair fell out, and he hit his head with a blunt object, making a thumping sound, just like beating a big drum, and a doctor pried open his skull, and grabbed a thumb-thick brain-sucking worm from it, which was more than a meter long, and had completely eaten up his brain. ”
