A seven or eight-year-old child **** stood behind the two with his upper body, and the kind of cold and playful ridicule was made by him.

His face was indistinguishable from that of a normal human child, with an innocent face and even filthy dirt on his face.

It's just that the laughter always makes people listen to the creepy, in the dark forest, through the light of the lighter, you can vaguely see the child's face, a pair of small hands raised horizontally in front of the chest, and the small paws are full of dark green juice.

It turned out that he was the one who tinkered with the tree trunk in the middle of the night, and he was definitely not the only one who appeared nearby. Why didn't this corrosive liquid corrode the child, July approached the child, squatted down and stroked his head, "Where is your family, how can you be here in the middle of the night?" ”

The child did not seem to be guarded, and from time to time he put the fingers of his right hand in his mouth and sucked it, blinking his mouth, giving the impression that the taste of the sap was unusually delicious.

There was a slimy feeling on his head, like an extremely sticky discharge, and July withdrew his hand to look at the palm of his hand, it was all that disgusting liquid, "Tell my sister, what's your name?" ”

Seeing that the child was playing by himself and didn't care much about himself, July shook his head helplessly.

"Could it be a dumb person?" The child was so quiet that he didn't make the slightest sound, and the man in the black robe was a little suspicious that he was born deaf and dumb. Looking at his non-aggressive appearance, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and at first thought it was a nocturnal beast in the woods.

"It's not like it, you look at his Adam's apple, his voice is normal. Maybe I'm scared of life. July himself didn't believe in this explanation, if this guy was afraid of life, he would be so bold, running around in the middle of the night, eating fingers in front of them, and laughing wildly.

The black-robed man said, "Let's bring it back first." "Caught a local native, albeit just a child. But the children's temperament is almost the same, and it will be much smoother if he leads the way here.

July had no better choice but to agree. The black-robed man reached out and tried to pick up the child, and hugged him by the body. In the process of hugging, I realized that there was something wrong with the child, "How can it be so heavy?" ”

A little more than a meter tall is not too tall, and the child looks like that skinny type, how can it feel so heavy in his hand. Moreover, the whole person was hugged on his body, and he actually felt his legs dragging the ground, would he be so tall?

July then chuckled, and the moment the black-robed man picked up the little boy, she saw a long piece of something the boy was dragging on the ground, and her hairs stood on end in fright, she had never seen such a thing before, "Quick, put him down." ”

Well? He didn't know what was going on yet, but seeing July's nervous look, he quickly put the boy back on the ground. The child didn't cry or make trouble, he still looked straight at the two of them, and he was so puzzled that Yun sucked his fingers.

The black-robed man asked, "What's wrong?" ”

July pointed to the boy's body and replied, "What do you see behind him?" ”

Behind? He re-lit the lighter, this time not on the boy's upper body, but behind the boy, and immediately took a breath, "This, what is this?" ”

Tail? Obviously, it wasn't like that long body dragged all the way to the grass a few meters behind it, and this small section alone was terrifying enough. The limbs as thick as the boy's body, the limbs are covered with countless delicate and orderly feet, and if you have to describe the scene in front of you, the boy's lower body is the body of a centipede.

Could it be that he was able to move at high speed just now with the body of this centipede?

"Centipedes?" Obviously a person, how could he have a centipede body, the black-robed man grabbed the corner of the robe vigilantly, ready to attack the boy at any time. Can someone with such a strange body structure be an ordinary child?

"I, I don't know." The ideas of the past in July were subverted one by one, but a terrible scene appeared in my mind.

Human head, centipede body!

The two of them have only heard of the allusion of the human head and the body of the snake in mythological stories, but after all, it is just a myth and legend, but what stands in front of them is a combination of a living human and an insect, and they suddenly feel that this world is really crazy.

In the blink of an eye, the black-robed man had already held a dagger in his hand, "He, is he a human, or something else?" "July is a wizard, so I guess I can explain this phenomenon somewhat. I don't know if he is aggressive, or if he can secrete highly poisonous juice like a centipede in his mouth. Therefore, he was only on guard, and did not dare to make any moves.

July settled down and took a few steps back, this child was no longer so innocent and cute in her eyes, "Isn't it, the product of an experiment?" "The witch Gu refining method of the ancient ancestors far exceeded the current human cognition of witch Gu, and the ancients, especially the ancient people who studied witch Gu, would not have so many ethics and morals. Not being bound by the world, it also creates a breeding ground for their bizarre ideas.

"Experiment, what experiment?" He wanted to say, is your so-called experiment a combination of humans and Gu worms? The black-robed man thought that he was already the kind of person who had done all the bad things, but compared to the person who created this child in front of him, it was simply a cloud of mud. It's just crazy!

July felt the hostility of the other party, and felt a little aggrieved, this thing was not made by me, and who believes that it was naturally formed, "Ancient biotechnology, I'm just guessing, they may be looking for a way to make humans stronger, or a combination with other species to achieve some purpose." ”

Is the child in front of you a successful experiment, or a failure? July didn't know, she was even a little resistant to this kind of behavior in her heart, crazy!

Ancient people had all kinds of creature worship, yearning for all the extraordinary abilities of powerful creatures in nature, so they naturally could seek the possibility of becoming stronger, and it was not excluded that children who were not fully developed in their early years could be combined with Gu through some unknown witchcraft to create this kind of non-human and non-Gu monster.

It's terrifying, no wonder this monster moves so fast, and no matter what he asks, he doesn't answer anything, the black-robed man said: "Maybe his ability to communicate vocalizes has become one with a centipede, and he can't speak at all." ”

The tip of the dagger pointed directly at the child, and a fierce gaze flashed, and he was decisively ready to strike first, confirming that the child was not a normal person, and it was likely to be dangerous, not to mention that there was more than one such monster in the nearby forest.

"What are you doing, he's just a kid." July quickly grabbed the black-robed man's wrist to stop his movements, and then looked at the little boy, who still had a feeling of not knowing that danger was coming, and looked at July strangely with innocent eyes.

"Don't regret it, his origin is unknown, and he may contain toxins." More likely, he might be able to eat people. The black-robed man knew that he couldn't be stubborn, so he snorted coldly and gave up.

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, July stopped him, "Wait." ”

"What?"

"Can you take him back?" July's eyes twinkled, pleading. She didn't worry about that Gu worm-shaped body, but she couldn't hold him by herself with this weight.

What, hugging this insect, the black-robed man suddenly felt ruined, "Let him go by himself." The voice vetoed sternly, he had more feet than ordinary people, is walking still a problem?

"Sister is leading you, okay?" July hooked the boy's fingers, but when he didn't resist, he grabbed his dirty little hand, turned to the black-robed man and said, "They are quite pitiful." ”

The two led the little boy back the way he came, and the forest was dark, but he always felt a pair of eyes hiding in the darkness staring at him, and that faint heartbeat.

"You Miao Jiang don't have this kind of refining method?"

"Well, what refining formula?"

"That's it," he said, referring to the child July was carrying, "like that." ”

"We're not going to do such inhumane things with children." The witchcraft that people want to combine is unheard of, and it adds to the mystery, is there really such an evil witchcraft in the ancient sandy ancient city?

……

"Ning Yun, hey, where is Ning Yun?" July took the child back to the camp where they had camped before, the fire had been extinguished for a long time, and there was not even a trace of smoke on the ground, she remembered that Ning Yun had fallen asleep under this tree, but now the person was gone.

"Giggles!" The little boy dragged his long body and crawled, laughing from time to time, and let out that ugly oozing laughter.

Qiyue's brows furrowed, worried about Ning Yun's safety, she wouldn't leave quietly.

"Will you get up and go to us without seeing us?"

"How could it be. Ning Yun is most afraid of the dark, and he will never dare to walk around alone. ”

July grabbed the child's hand and looked at him suspiciously, "giggle" was still the same kind of laughter, with a blank expression, and Yun sucked his fingers.

The black-robed man checked the surrounding environment, and the tree was still hot, proving that Ning Yun had not been away for a long time, leaving a long trail of drag on the ground.

And, the kind of cloth that meets the dirt marks of the feet, "centipede," he said, looking at the kid next to July, "his kind." Judging by the traces, it was a centipede that dragged away Ningyun.

"There was blood on the ground, not much, and coagulation."

July picked up the soil dripping with blood, put it under his nose and smelled it, "The blood is poisonous, and the clouds are poisoned!" It was certain that something had bitten Ning Yun, and she became more and more worried.

The black-robed man immediately grabbed the little boy with a striped stripe, "Say, where are all your people?" "Centipedes all have nests, and he estimates that they are inevitably contaminated with the habits of centipedes, and there must be their nests nearby.

"If you can ask something like this, he may not understand what you are saying at all." July pulled out another pink ceramic bottle, this time the ceramic bottle was not filled with powdered medicine.
