Tomb of King Tanwen (22)

"It's weird, I've never seen this thing before!"

With some doubts on his face, Bei Yu took a worm the size of a mung bean, which was already lying dead in his palm at this time, and then looked at Jiang Yanliang on the side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although it doesn't look much different from a mosquito, it looks more like a spider with wings, and it is red, and there is a blue tentacle-like thing under the small wings on the left and right sides, which is particularly conspicuous. The bloated belly of the back half of the body was already nauseously cracked at this time, and some pus with a slight foul smell was leaking. The jaw of the insect head has a rolled mouthpiece, and at this time, it seems to use the last trace of vitality, and it is still trembling slightly from side to side.

"Which of you got bitten by this?"

Xiao Tao walked over and looked at it carefully for a while, and a strange information suddenly appeared in his mind, which made his heart sink, and he looked at Teacher Wang and the others with a cold face and asked.

"Captain Jiang, wake up Lin Xiaoming and Jiang Congbing, check the position of the back bone, if there are any traces of suspected mosquito bites, deal with it immediately! Zhao Li, you also check each other, the focus is on the back, but don't let this thing leave eggs in your spine! ”

"Okay, Xiaobei, wake them up immediately and check their bodies quickly!"

Jiang Yanliang was also stunned by Xiao Tao's gloomy look, and shouted to Bei Yu on the side with an anxious face.

"What's the matter, it's not dawn yet, why are you calling me to wake up!" "Stop talking nonsense, see if any bugs bite you, that's not a good thing!"

The winged red spider has an easy-to-understand name, myelinate! As the name suggests, it is a special bug that feeds on bone marrow and is terrifying. In the absence of living bone marrow, it also attaches to bones and sustains life by eating away at them.

In the beginning, it wasn't like this, and there had never been a creature of this breed. However, during a period of history when tomb robberies were rampant, the prototype of this myeloid eater appeared in everyone's field of vision. It was originally a centipede in appearance, covered in blue, agile in action, and able to glide for a short time. The largest volume is only the finger.

This kind of thing is very easy to kill at first, afraid of light, afraid of fire, and does not resist suppression, and can trample a large area to death with one foot. Originally, it was just a small worm that devoured the dry bones in the tomb, but it was later used by people with a heart, and through the insect refining methods of the people of Miao Jiang, a new Gu worm finally survived, which was the source of the original myelin-eating worm.

The nature of being afraid of light and fire is no longer there, and if it is a myelinate worm with strong vitality, the strength of an ordinary adult will not kill it with his hands and feet alone. It can only be destroyed by means of hard objects. Or it is a cultivator who is more profound, so that he can be sure to get rid of it.

It's just that there is another situation, that is, the vitality is not strong, it may be caused by aging, or it may be caused by hunger, this kind of myelin-eating worm, children have the ability to kill it. However, it is the common nature of all things in the world to avoid evil, and the general myeloid worm whose vitality has come to the end will find the body of a large animal and lay its eggs into its backbone, so that the eggs can obtain enough food to survive, and it will slowly die because of the exhaustion of the last trace of vitality.

This is also the reason why Xiao Tao didn't react at first, Mr. Wang is just an ordinary person, but he doesn't have the ability to kill this myeloid eater. But its death also shows the decay of its vitality, and the three ladies of Zhao Li, who cried out in pain, are likely to have laid eggs in their spines.

In the record, the average myelin-eating worm has only three or five eggs. If it dies normally, there may be about ten, Xiao Tao just glanced at the dim red color on the myelin-eating worm, and he could determine that its eggs should not be too many.

"This thing is not raised, it doesn't look like a common thing in the wild!"

While others were checking, Professor Sun communicated with Mr. Wang in the tent next to him for a while, and made a somewhat bold guess.

"Generally, this kind of thing likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, unless there is nothing to eat nearby, it will run elsewhere to forage! However, it will appear here, and it is not completely ruled out that it was raised! ”

Xiao Tao remembered that he was bored at the master's place, and he flipped through the classic books and miscellaneous books, and his eyes became more and more gloomy. After the appearance of the myelinovago, many experienced "Tufuzi" used this kind of thing to explore the entrance to the nearby tomb. Compared with other ways of searching, this kind of thing has a different preference for bones buried in the ground, and with this characteristic of it, you can easily find what you want.

"Boss Xiao, Xiao Ming has a trace of being bitten by an insect on his back!" "Master Xiao, Zhao Li and Teacher Wang also have it!"

"Don't move, grit your teeth, and you'll be fine all at once!"

Xiao Tao first went to see Lin Xiaoming's body, a red with a blue, much bigger than a sesame seed, obviously a trace of mosquito bites.

"Whew, I didn't feel it just now, but now I feel really painful! Boss Xiao, I can bear it, you can do it! ”

Jiang Congbing and Mr. Chang because of some Taoism, although their cultivation is not deep, they have also avoided being attacked by myelin-eating insects. And Jiang Yanliang and Bei Yu, respectively, pressed Lin Xiaoming's two arms, and Professor Sun and Professor Zhang also pressed on his thighs, making him unable to move.

The fine dagger in Xiao Tao's hand, after wiping it with Zhao Li's disinfectant solution, the tip of the knife cut a small hole in the insect bite position of the back bone, and some dark red blood stains flowed out. Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, the dagger in his right hand was handed over to his left hand, the tip of the knife was still pressed against the small wound that had been cut, and the index and middle fingers were with green mangs that were invisible to ordinary people, and they quickly clicked twice on the spine.

Woo! ――

"Okay, it's okay, wait for the bleeding to stop, I'm rubbing those medicines!" "Thank you, Boss Xiao!"

forcibly held back Lin Xiaoming, who didn't scream, and when Xiao Tao signaled that Jiang Yanliang and the four of them could let go, he took a long breath, the pain in his back had disappeared, and the platelets in the blood had returned to normal in the small wound. Lin Xiaoming, who said thank you to Xiao Tao, who got up, also saw the culprit who made him so painful.

A small insect that had already broken out of its eggs like ants, and the bright red on its body didn't know if it was its own color or stained by Lin Xiaoming's blood.

"What, can you still bear it?"

Zhao Li and Teacher Wang in the tent were sweating all over their faces with pain, and their collars were almost soaked with sweat.

"I'm fine, I can endure it for a while, you can remove the eggs for Mr. Wang first!"

Zhao Li reluctantly moved her body to the side and said to Xiao Tao.
