Chapter Twenty-Three: The Nine-Star Skull

It's strange to say, it's just a single arm, but its strength is extraordinarily large. Zhang Tianyi didn't want to die in this dark cave so inexplicably, so he picked up the gravel on the shore and smashed it at the arm on his ankle. Zhang Tianyi didn't know that he was holding the gravel that had fallen off the stalactite, so he beckoned him to go up anyway.

The gravel is the bottom of the stalactite falling off, one end is sharp and thin and very sharp, although the resistance in the water is very difficult to control, but Zhang Tianyi still scratched a few times on that arm.

What made Zhang Tianyi feel strange was that this arm could feel pain. The rubble cut through the arm, and a dark green liquid flowed from it, and the arm let go of the pain.

Zhang Tianyi didn't have the previous panic now, grabbed that arm and threw it ashore. When Zhang Tianyi swam to the shore, the arm jumped a few times like a fish out of the water, and Zhang Tianyi waved the gravel in his hand and pinned the jumping arm to the ground.

Zhang Tianyi bent down and was just about to take a closer look, but found that the surface of that arm was slowly bulging, and the skin tissue on the arm was getting bigger and bigger, until it suddenly exploded the next moment!

Zhang Tianyi was frightened by the sudden explosion sound and shook his nerves for a while, and at the same time as his arm exploded, a dark green liquid sprayed on Zhang Tianyi's face, this liquid was like a mask tightly wrapped Zhang Tianyi's mouth and nose!

The dark green liquid covered Zhang Tianyi's entire face, Zhang Tianyi reached out and wanted to tear it off, but the surface of the liquid was too slippery, and Zhang Tianyi tried several times without success. Zhang Tianyi was wrapped in liquid and felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, but now that he didn't have any auxiliary tools, he couldn't use gravel to smash his face.

Zhang Tianyi was tearing the dark green liquid while groping for a lighter in his pocket, this thing seemed to be a living thing, Zhang Tianyi could clearly feel that it was shrinking a little bit, and the wrapping was getting tighter and tighter. Zhang Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief after touching the lighter, and secretly Qing said, Fortunately, he didn't lose it, everything is generally afraid of fire, hoping to be useful to this disgusting thing.

Zhang Tianyi shook off the water in the lighter, lit a few bunches of flames, and rushed out, thinking that it was fortunate that he bought a windproof lighter at that time, otherwise he would really have to explain it here today. At the same time as the flame lit up, Zhang Tianyi felt that the liquid on his face suddenly relaxed, Zhang Tianyi was happy in his heart, and then put the flame on his face. Zhang Tianyi first smelled a burning smell, and then a heart-piercing pain came from his face, Zhang Tianyi felt that his cheeks were itchy, as if something was desperately drilling into his face!

The dark green liquid loosened when it encountered the flames, and Zhang Tianyi took advantage of this time to tear it off with the crack. After tearing it off, Zhang Tianyi felt a hard and unidentified object on his face, pinched it between his fingers, and felt that it should be a shellfish insect such as a beetle, and now this thing has been halfway into his face.

Zhang Tianyi didn't dare to buckle it hard, in case this thing was like a leech, it would be difficult to do it if it was tightened tighter. Zhang Tianyi didn't care about the burning sensation on his face, and roasted the flames back and forth next to the beetle.

The corners of Zhang Tianyi's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his howl, the beetle's body was too small, and most of the fire burned on his face, but fortunately, the beetle's body was small, and after a while, Zhang Tianyi smelled a scorching smell, and then heard a "snap" beetle fell off his face and fell to the ground.

"What is this? Ladybug? Zhang Tianyi twisted his fingers and looked at the beetle on the ground, the beetle is very similar to the seven-star ladybug in the rural summer night, but other ladybugs have six or seven stars on their backs, and this ladybug has nine stars on its shell.

Zhang Tianyi walked to the place of the dark green liquid again, and it never moved again when he tore it off just now. Zhang Tianyi took the lighter and lit it, who knew that the dark green liquid would burn when it met the fire, and it would burn out after a while. After the burning, the surrounding air was filled with a strong scorching smell, and Zhang Tianyi found that it was densely packed with black ladybug corpses in the ashes.

Zhang Tianyi patted his head and suddenly realized, no wonder the dark green liquid before would directly pounce on his face, it turned out that these ladybugs were hiding inside and controlling it.

The arm was still on the side, and now a piece of gravel was stuck in the back of the hand and nailed to the ground. Zhang Tianyi pulled out the gravel and looked at it, looking at the joints of his fingers, this arm should be a man's arm, and there is a ring on his ring finger, which was cut directly from the shoulder. Zhang Tianyi looked at the wound cut off his arm and felt a little familiar, and before he could think about it, the place where his arm was scratched by gravel before came out of dark green liquid.

This time, the liquid did not rush towards Zhang Tianyi, but slowly squirmed into the water. Of course, Zhang Tianyi wouldn't let it get his wish, and held the gravel and pierced it again!

At the same time as the gravel was pierced, Zhang Tianyi lit the lighter, and before it burned a few times, the ladybugs inside were exposed one by one. Zhang Tianyi looked at the ladybugs on the ground and felt his scalp tingle, and it was initially estimated that there were at least a thousand. One of the thousands of ladybugs looked out of place, much larger than the others, a little smaller than the beetle, and the other ladybugs had long since been burned to death, only this one was still struggling.

This time, Zhang Tianyi kept a mind and did not use his body to make direct contact, but took the gravel and turned it over. The ladybug was turned on its back, and Zhang Tian clicked on the lighter to find that the ladybug's legs were covered with dense layers of fluff, and its mouth had two curved teeth that were like pincers. Zhang Tianyi found two slightly thinner branches and broke open the ladybug's teeth, and found that there was a row of suckers growing inside.

Zhang Tianyi threw away the branch and quickly wiped his hands, how weird this ladybug looked. At this time, the ladybug also turned its body over, the flames flickered a few times and reflected on the ladybug's back, Zhang Tianyi's heel suddenly numb, this ladybug's shell is not a star-shaped pattern, but nine skulls!

"Could it be a new species that hasn't been discovered yet?" This ladybug is different from ordinary ladybugs from top to bottom and inside out, Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and thought for a while and did not remember the records about this kind of ladybug on the Internet, so he felt that it might be relatively rare and had not been discovered.

Zhang Tianyi wanted to bring it back for Lin Fan to study and study, but when he thought of the green clay covering his face and the same adsorption force as a leech, he immediately rejected this idea. Of course, you can't let it go, this thing is too evil to escape, maybe how many people will be Huohuo if it escapes. You can't bring it back or let it go, so you have to kill it to prevent future troubles.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyi didn't hesitate, after all, he was not embarrassed by it before, so he raised his foot and ran it over. But Zhang Tianyi underestimated the survivability of this thing, and failed to crush it to death after running it over for a while, but was bitten by it on his ankle. Zhang Tianyi thought that he was calculated by this beast, and he was immediately anxious, so he simply burned it clean.

Another place at this time......

"Poof!"

A man sitting cross-legged in the cave spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked in the direction of Ping'an Town with his eyes narrow......

When Zhang Tianyi came out of the cave, it was already dark, and he looked around and found that he had unknowingly swam to Sanli Coffin Town.

The reservoir runs through several nearby towns, one of which is the town of Sanlicoffin. After going ashore, Zhang Tianyi took off his shirt and hung it on a branch to dry, the mobile phone soaked in the water overnight, it is estimated that it should be scrapped, and the gun equipped by the police station was also lost in the white fox's den.

About the same touch, Zhang Tianyi took off his clothes, and now he doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to sleep well. Zhang Tianyi lay on the ground and rested for a while, as soon as he closed his eyes, the upper and lower eyelids seemed to be glued, and he couldn't open them, until the sound of small footsteps sounded in his ears, and Zhang Tianyi climbed up one by one!

When he came out, Zhang Tianyi also brought out that arm, no matter how he said it, it was also a criminal case, and Zhang Tianyi had the obligation to investigate it thoroughly. Zhang Tianyi hid as soon as he wrapped that arm around his waist with his shirt, and then leaned sideways to listen to every move in his ear.

In front of Zhang Tianyi was the reservoir, and at this time, his cat could clearly see every move outside in the bushes on the shore.

"Yang Yong? Why is he here? Zhang Tianyi looked at it cautiously and muttered. Now the sky is just dawn, and most people estimate that they have just gotten up and are preparing to be busy with breakfast, but Yang Yong is walking on the shore with a straw basket and pestle on his back.

Zhang Tianyi thought about it and always felt that something was wrong, there was no one here who usually passed by, let alone that the sky was just dawning now. And looking at Yang Yong's appearance, it didn't look like he was walking aimlessly, but more like he was looking for something, and Yang Yong's appearance of looking around made Zhang Tianyi feel puzzled.

Yang Yong slowly walked towards the place where Zhang Tianyi had just been lying, and Zhang Tianyi's heart also tugged, he didn't have time to clean up when he left, and there were still mud and aquatic plants brought up from the bottom of the river on the ground, and it was obvious that there were traces of someone lying here.

Sure enough, Yang Yong looked at the traces on the ground and stopped, and after looking around, he simply sat on the straw basket and smoked a dry cigarette.

Zhang Tianyi knew that Yang Yong had found out that he was no longer hiding, so he coughed twice and walked straight out.

"Oh? Officer Zhang? Come out early in the morning to exercise? Yang Yong said painlessly while smoking.

"Isn't it autumn and I want to learn from the people in the city for a winter trip!" Zhang Tianyi wrapped his arms tightly in his clothes and repeatedly confirmed that he would not be seen by Yang Yong before he walked over and asked, "It's Master Yang, you are quite old, could it be that you came here early in the morning for a walk?" ”

Yang Yong smiled and said: "When you are older, you have to think about your children, no, the sapling was sick again last night, no, I just picked some herbs for her and prepared to take them back to boil." ”
