Chapter 84: The Stygian Sea (4)
"***, this is!"
Xia Beifeng looked at the swarm of insects that were crowded without leaving a single gap, and smiled maliciously: "I didn't expect these beasts to be quite good at playing." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"It's going to take root...... It's the best time to deal with. ”
Xia Yi pointed to the plants that spread outward from the edge of the impulse, and raised the mountain and river lamp in his hand: "Fortunately, I didn't forget to bring this thing when I went out...... Put away that lewd smile on your face. ”
Blood clotting insects, although they seem weird, have a bit like insects in the human world during their growth.
Plants that appear to be fruiting are actually eggs, and they are best at luring organisms to swallow them in order to replenish their nutrition.
Bright red eggs are exposed to the early air, wrapped only in a thin outer membrane, and do not move on their own.
This is often the time when they are most vulnerable, but also the hardest.
When they crawl out of the eggs, or from the creatures that eat the eggs, they will all be warriors on their own.
As for the real success of living to the point of breaking the cocoon, it becomes an even more difficult adult. Not only does it bite and eat people, but it also ~~ and can fly!
"Blood clotting insects can only be completely burned at the stage of eggs, and they will not regroup."
Xia Yi stroked the lamp in his hand and said slowly: "So this time is the best time to eliminate them." It's just that the coagulation insects in the form of insect eggs do not invade water and fire, and oil and salt do not enter. It is only when it is bitten into the mouth that it is fragile and shatters at the touch. ”
However, in the end, it is not certain who is used as food.
Xia Beifeng stared at it and raised his eyebrows.
The mountain and river lantern emitted a faint light from the wick, jumping in on the rare flames, as if expecting something.
"Nothing but the Witch King's secret flame could break her hard shell and burn them before they were born."
The silver flame in the mountain and river lamp jumped suddenly, and seemed to jump a little higher.
The wanton growth of plants has occupied most of the cave, leaving only a space that is bald if it is blown by the wind, which can be regarded as a place for Xia Beifeng to stay.
The beetles are still mating in swarms~. With a small thud, the hard shells of their bodies continued to peel off, and their bodies turned into dark smoke, which merged with the faint ghostly fire, sinking like water and seeping into the ground.
The plants make a sala sound when they break through the stones, and the bright red fruits emit a hazy light, which is not dazzling, but illuminates this dark space.
Overhead, there is icy water flowing quietly, reflecting sparkling waves on the ground, like a slender fish swimming in the dark stones.
Xia Yi lowered his head and gently turned the mountain and river lamp in his hand until the last wisp of black smoke also went deep into the ground.
The bright red fruits joined together at great speed, squeezing each other and crumbling, seducing people to pick them.
"Want to eat?"
He turned around and smiled at Xia Beifeng, who was standing behind him: "You can go and taste it, it's a big deal that I will dig out the worms for you, and I won't die." ”
"I'm skeptical...... Do you dig up the worms and only I am alive? ”
The corners of Xia Beifeng's mouth twitched~ and moved, not even daring to turn his head to look at the red fruits everywhere. He stared at the old man in front of him motionlessly, and politely rejected Xia Yi's suggestion: "Although I haven't eaten for a long time, and I'm not a picky eater, but forget about this kind of thing." ”
He paused, the expression on his face tangled for a moment, and he still didn't want to give up and asked again: "This thing really doesn't taste good, right?" ”
"That depends on what you are."
Xia Yi shrugged his shoulders and lifted the silver lamp in his hand: "Some guys like to eat, and this thing is a great supplement for them." ”
"I'm a very normal human being, and I'm not interested in monster supplements."
The mountain and river lanterns held in the air suddenly brightened, and the leaping silver flames soared higher and higher, as if they could break through the shackles of the small lanterns at any time and pounce into a wider space.
"Ouch, baby."
Xia Yi stared at the overly "lively" lamp in his hand suspiciously, and frowned: "I usually use you once The boss is reluctant, why are you so active today?" ”
Dotted fires peeked out from beneath the lamps. Falling on the shaking branches and leaves at his feet, it was as if encountering a spark of boiling oil, and the "sting" sounded and jumped high.
"Because there's so much to burn here."
The shrill child's voice echoed in the empty cave, and the boy possessed by Yun Ze crawled out of the wormhole with difficulty, stretched out a hand to the mountain and river lamp, and shouted in Xia Yi's fleshy tone: "Come, baby, come to me." ”
Xia Beifeng was startled by the strange voice and got goosebumps.
"You can save it."
Xia Yi held the mountain and river lantern in his hand, let the firelight spread under his feet, and disdained Yun Ze, who was late: "When you were still in power, this thing didn't treat you very well, even if you took it away for so many years, I never helped you once." Now that you've become this ghost, how can it listen to you? ”
"You!"
The boy glared angrily, opened his mouth and blew forward.
A rotting smell spread over the flowers that had been consumed by the firelight. The plants, which were already burning and dying, looked up as if they had been sprinkled with a handful of fertilizer, and they grew rapidly regardless of everything.
No, this is more powerful than chemical fertilizer, this is actually a stimulant that can cure the disease.
Xia Beifeng looked at the burned curled leaves and shriveled fruits in the flames, and couldn't help but feel awe of their desperate spirit.
"I'm its master, who can it listen to if it doesn't listen to me?"
Yun Ze roared twice, and suddenly showed a sneer. The round little ~ face should have the innocence and cuteness of a three- or four-year-old child, but the expression at this time is more reminiscent of those monsters who kill people without blinking: "Is it difficult to listen to that little cub in Hongyuan?" ”
"It could be."
Xia Yi smiled and handed the lamp to Xia Beifeng, motioning for him to take over: "I think it means, as long as it's not you, anyone can do it." ”
The heavy lamp was thrown into Xia Beifeng's arms, and the silver flames kept jumping in the lamp, looking even more jubilant than when it was in Xia Yi's hands.
"Still don't understand?"
Xia Yi stretched out his hand and smoothed out a few folds on the hem of his clothes, and said casually: "It doesn't look down on you at all." ”
"It's just a light ......"
The sarcasm in Yun Ze's tone was even worse: "In whose hands you should listen to whom, how can you be said to be like a person?" ”
"You can't say that. You must know that this thing followed your ancestors to conquer the world at the beginning, and it is not strange that he ran away, so why can't he look down on you. Even if you don't care about it, you must have some respect for your witch relics. ”
Xia Yi smiled again when he said this, and turned his head to look at the burning lamp in Xia Beifeng's hand sympathetically: "Oh, I forgot, you don't know what respect is at all." No wonder this thing would rather be held by an ordinary person from nowhere than go with you. ”
He stretched out his hand and tapped his chest, his eyes lowered, and he looked down condescendingly at Yun Ze, who was struggling to crawl on the ground: "Even a spirit like me can touch it." And you, the orthodox witch king of the witch clan, have never been able to call it, don't you think you should take a good look at yourself? ”
I don't know what is wrong with the body that Yun Ze is using, and it is almost useless from the waist down. can only rely on a pair of arms to support, crawling on the ground with difficulty, even Xia Beifeng, an unsympathetic bastard, feels a little distressed when he sees it.
This is probably called the real disabled Zhijian, never give up!
He secretly sighed, and at the same time hugged the heavy mountain and river lamp in his arms, and glanced at Yun Ze triumphantly.
Yun Ze was not angry. He grinned strangely, supported the ground with his hands, and straightened his upper body with all his might.
The black beetle emerged from his limp leg and fluttered its wings into the fire.
Silver flames spread across his body, burning his delicate flesh red.
The bright red fruit fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, smashing out clumps of equally bright red liquid. The black worms rolled in the liquid, stretching out their curled bodies and crawling towards the clouds.
Yin~The red blood spread outward along Yun Ze's two legs, and the rich and fresh smell of blood was simply the best meeting gift for the newly born larvae.
"Oops!"
Xia Yi's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to wave a gust of wind: "He actually wants to use himself to raise insects!" ”
"Did you just find out?"
Yun Ze coughed twice in his hoarse throat and smiled triumphantly: "After so many years, I finally waited for today's opportunity...... Take that person ...... And you guys...... Packed up together. ”
Halfway through his speech, he seemed to be choking on something, and coughed violently for a while before continuing to say in a dumb voice: "He has controlled me for so many years, neither letting me live like a human being, nor allowing me to die, I have long had enough!" ”
"What's going on now?"
Xia Beifeng looked at Yun Ze in confusion, and then moved his gaze to Xia Yi, who was not good-looking: "This Yun Ze Great Immortal...... Look at how it looks like people are divided, and explain the trouble of knowing. ”
The wind swept through the flames, not only failing to extinguish the silver flames, but rather burning them even more vigorously.
Xia Yi's face suddenly turned ugly. Under the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished, it looked gloomy and terrifying.
"Yun Ze's body has been occupied by blood clotting insects, and the only thing that can kill him is the mountain and river lantern."
Xia Yi turned his head and stared at the mountain and river lantern that Xia Beifeng was holding in his arms.
Silver flames were dancing happily in the wick, brighter than anything he'd ever seen before.
"The thing that came out of the Stygian Sea ~ controlled Yun Ze's body and used it to raise insects. That guy was born in the Stygian Sea, and the blood clotting worm naturally had no effect on him, but Yun Ze ......"
Xia Yiluo looked at the young child curled up in the fire with too sympathy: "It seems that that guy has something to suffer, so he will let Yun Ze out and carry it, and then come out to take over the body when he is over, he may have had enough and want to seek a relief." ”
"It's just that this list of liberated characters includes not only himself, but also the big man who came out of the Styx, plus a group of unlucky people who rushed to die."
Fei Yan poked his head out of his sleeve and looked at the sea of fire in front of him defensively: "The worm that was raised by his blood at the beginning, when he dies, he will no longer be afraid of the sun." According to Hongyuan's speculation, it may be because it is stained with the blood of the witch god left behind in the world, so it ...... In your words, it's evolution. ”
"And the body he is taking away now, if he guesses correctly, it should be ......"
Xia Yi glanced back at Xia Beifeng, stretched out his hand and pointed at his chest: "I am an ancestor with you." ”
What does it mean to be an ancestor with us?
I don't want this kind of relative who has a pit in his brain and is physically disabled!
"What kind of witch god is that, how many species were left in the world when he was alive?"
Xia Beifeng asked in a complicated mood: "Why do you feel that there are my relatives everywhere?" ”
"Actually, it's not a lot, it has something to do with 'over there', those great immortal masters with names and surnames or something, really count them and estimate that they are all with you as an ancestor."
When Xia Beifeng heard this, he didn't know what he remembered, and his whole face suddenly wrinkled.
"Don't say any more, I don't want to accept this premise."
Xia Yi patted him on the shoulder quite sympathetically: "It's not a big deal, don't you Han people still claim to be the descendants of the Yellow Emperor?" It's not just talking. There were still seven branches of the Wu clan back then, and they all said that they were all the bloodlines left by the witch gods, and I never saw anyone soft-hearted when they stabbed each other. You don't need to feel any psychological pressure. ”
"What strange ...... are you worried about?"
Xia Beifeng had just finished speaking, and he heard Yun Ze, who had been ignored by them for a while, and thought that he had almost burned to death, made a sound again.
It turns out that he is not dead yet!
Xia Beifeng thought to himself and turned his head in surprise. It was found that the child was not only not dead, but the wound on his leg began to heal rapidly.
The tiny black insects gathered together, frantically biting the flesh on his legs, swallowing the tender ~ flesh that had just grown into his stomach.
"You...... What have you done again, you idiot! ”
The boy with Mars all over his body suddenly exclaimed, and then shouted angrily: "You waste! I've finally found such a body, what are you doing now? ”
"Can't you see what he's doing?"
Xia Yi shrugged his shoulders and replied happily: "I want to die with you." ”
"Hehe, all together?"
The boy tore off a bunch of fruits beside him that had not yet landed, and stuffed it into his mouth in a big gulp: "Just this waste? He also deserves it? ”
As he swallowed the bright red fruit into his stomach, the scars on his face from the flames began to heal rapidly.
However, the flames around him grew stronger and stronger, constantly imprinting more and more burns on his young body.
"How am I unworthy? I'm a witch king! ”
Yun Ze's triumphant voice came from the boy's mouth: "When I found this body, what did I tell you?" I want to think about it...... Oh, I mean, this kid's ancestors have produced a lot of warlocks, and the bloodline should not be weak. I was born paralyzed, and my future must be not small. I lied to you, I didn't expect you, a monster with a mind full of meat and blood, to be fooled so easily. ”
He laughed twice, "I'll tell you now." I chose this body to make it easier to trap you at this time, and then take you to death with me! ”
As he utters this, his body movements are diametrically opposed to words.
The young child crawled through the fire with only his hands, crawling towards the black hole not far away.
"What are you still doing in a daze, come here and kill me!"
The child's mouth burst into a maniacal laugh: "Didn't you always want to kill me but couldn't find a chance?" Now I'm giving you a chance, hurry up and kill me! If we let him crawl back now, we'll all have to escape!" ”
There was no fear of death in his laughter, only the joy of being relieved of years of pain.
"Okay."
Xia Beifeng lifted the spear that he threw aside after entering the cave, and nodded: "I'm here to kill you." ”
The silver firelight reflected in his slightly curved eyes, which looked like two bright crescent moons.
But this "moonlight" is not gentle, but flashes with a chilling killing intent.
Like the tiny blade on the tip of the spear.
