Chapter 65: The Originator of the Living Corpse
This kind of pounce of the evil king does not mean that he wants to hurt me, but it is a manifestation of impatience.
The evil king didn't let me take care of the iron donkey anymore, so he forcibly dragged me up, pointed at the demon ding, and said, "Quick, delay something, call out those insects." ”
I know what he means, since the gold and silver worms are the nemesis of the konjac flower, let's quickly let them be guards in case the konjac flower sneaks up again.
The problem is that the iron donkey's illness cannot be delayed. I struggled for a moment. The Evil Lord looked at my expression as if he understood something.
He snorted, and without waiting for me, he took out his little trumpet, found the right tone, and blew it.
His little horn also had a miraculous effect, stimulated by the sound, those gold and silver worms really flew out of the magic ding, but they looked very irritable, formed a grimace pattern, and immediately rushed towards the evil king.
The Evil King was not stupid, knowing that his horn sound had the opposite effect, he hurriedly stopped the music. But the gold and silver worms were not tight, and they still ran.
The Evil Monarch was a little frightened and shouted at me, "Leng Shijie! ”
I was stimulated and knew that if I didn't make a move, the evil king would probably be in danger. I took out the worm flute and blew it dripping.
The temper of the silver worms has dropped considerably, and they have become slow again, and their grimaces have ceased to exist.
They spread out in all directions, taking out a protective look. I wondered again and again, because I had been exposed to gold and silver worms once before, how long had I been playing the flute? They have only become obedient, and this batch of bugs seems to be easier to domesticate.
I guess this generation of bugs has evolved again, just like wolves and dogs, the gold and silver worms used to be like wolves, and now the gold and silver worms are more like dogs.
I am happy. The Evil King told me not to stop blowing, and he slowed down, and then dared to lean towards a gold and silver worm, stretched out two fingers, and gently clamped it in.
The gold and silver worm was controlled, and it twisted its body uncomfortably, and wanted to bite the evil king, but the evil king paid attention, it was impossible to be bitten by it.
He brought the gold and silver worm to the iron donkey, and told him not to move. Then he had the gold and silver worm bite the iron donkey's neck.
The iron donkey grinned in pain, but I saw it in my heart. Because I know that gold and silver worms are poisonous, and isn't the evil king harming the iron donkey by doing this?
But the iron donkey is really cheap, and suddenly he took out an intoxicated expression, rubbing his neck, and saying that it was really fucking comfortable.
I understood, and I also remembered a word, "Fight poison with poison." ”
I secretly praised the evil king's old spiciness, and said in my heart that since the gold and silver worm is also the nemesis of konjac, how can it be afraid of the poison of konjac flowers?
I leaned over to the iron donkey and continued to play the insect flute, and I also kept an eye on the iron donkey from time to time to see the state of his body. Otherwise, my guess and the sound of the iron donkey alone are not enough to prove the scientificity of fighting poison with poison.
But the iron donkey soon stopped leaving tears, and his face slowly recovered, not so white.
The evil king won't let us rest and keep walking. I absolutely agreed with his words this time, and my heart said that if I didn't leave, I played the flute until my cheeks were swollen.
Along the way, there were indeed a few eyeless konjac flowers sticking out of the small hole. This must be the warrior of the konjac flowers, but they are miserable, and as soon as they pounce on us, they are also bitten by gold and silver worms.
These konjac warriors all withered and died on the road.
We are not interested in the dead konjac, and we don't stay, let's go one or two hundred meters deeper, the white spots on the cave wall are gone, in other words, we are out of the konjac zone.
I was thinking that now we should rest, especially my cheeks, but then another weirdness appeared.
There were dots of golden light in this cave, and when you looked at it, there were more in the distance, and it was like seeing stars in the sky.
I guessed, because I've seen it myself. Every golden light is a gold beetle, I wondered, and I also remembered one thing in passing.
In the case of the end of the corpse country, when the bandit leader Amat saw the golden beetle, he was shocked and shouted, saying that this was the guide messenger of Xiandao.
I didn't understand his words too much at the time, but now that I look at the products, Amat has a connection with Jiu Niang and the living corpse thief, and the latter two are related to Chen Shiyu.
In this way, whether it is a holy land or a corpse country, those strange species we encountered when solving the case are all inseparable from Ghost Island, and it is even likely that Chen Shiyu took them away from Ghost Island.
I don't have time to dwell on these small things. The gold and silver worms under my control have become uncontrollable since they saw the golden light.
They took out a drugged posture and scattered wildly, chasing the golden light like food.
These golden lights are very powerful, they are all poisonous gold beetles, but they can't fight the evolved gold and silver beetles, and they really respond to that sentence, big fish eat small fish, who cares if there is a relationship between them, fill their stomachs.
I also couldn't play the flute anymore, so I let these baby worms go presumptuously. I put the flute away, and waved my hand to the evil king, that means don't force me to continue playing the flute, if you see that I am not happy, the flute will be lent to you, you come!
The evil king also understood me, and he didn't blame anything, but looking at the scene in front of him, he smiled again, and said what a good luck!
I don't know what it means, but I said that we people have come to this point, more or less injured, how can we have a posture of good luck?
The evil king didn't explain much, snatched the flashlight from the little man's hand, and took a picture into the distance. I also looked along, and vaguely, I saw that there seemed to be something lying on both sides of the cave in the distance, and there were quite a few of them.
The Evil Lord beckoned us to rush over, and we all acted together with curiosity.
The distance was quickly over, and when I got closer, I looked at these things and felt the urge to blink quickly in disbelief, and I thought it was terrifying.
It was a dead pregnant woman, they were small in stature, and they looked like dwarf natives, but their bellies were high and bulging, and their corpses were crawling with meat maggots.
These maggots are fat, with pointed shells on their heads and yellowish bodies. I know, it's a golden beetle larvae.
The Evil Lord had a special feeling for these dead corpses, and squatted down with a smile and looked at them.
I don't have a hobby of evil kings, and I don't want to take a second look. I mean, they're dead bodies anyway, so let's not waste time and keep going.
I mentioned this to the Evil King, and the Evil King didn't react. But the iron donkey and the old cat seemed to see something, and they crouched beside the evil king in surprise, and carefully observed the dead body.
I said in my heart, what's wrong with these two guys? Brain convulsions? If you want to see the female corpse, don't look at it at this time, wait for the person who can return to the police station alive, slide, corpse warehouse, which one do they want to choose, can't they?
I went over and fed it, and I was reminded of it.
But just after this voice, I noticed that the female corpse reacted, and it opened its eyes slightly, but they quickly closed again.
I was stunned, and my heart said my mother, this is not a dead person! The iron donkey also immediately sighed, saying that this is the originator of the living corpse, right?
I know what the Iron Donkey means, I've met living corpse warriors, like Pulsatilla and Demon Heart Arhat, all controlled by Yin Yin, and then I've encountered living corpse thieves. They are weirdos who have been modified by the day after tomorrow, and the technology of transforming them must be a reference to these pregnant living corpses.
But at the same time, I also have questions, how can these living pregnant women stay alive without eating or drinking?
I asked, but the iron donkey couldn't answer anything. The old cat didn't speak, and he didn't know if he couldn't answer or was too lazy to answer.
The Evil Lord had ignored me, but after a while, he sighed, pointed to the larvae of the golden beetle, and said, "The answer you want is here." ”
I know the saying of parasitism, such as insects burrow into the human body and slowly grow by absorbing human nutrients, could it be that the larvae in front of you are doing the opposite? Instead of being parasitic, they feed the living corpses?
I told this speculation, and the evil lord said that I was only half right, that this larva and the living corpse are indeed parasitic and host-dependent relationships, but unlike the traditional parasitic mode, there is also a co-evolutionary relationship between them.
He took these two as an example, the larvae of the golden beetle parasitize on the pregnant living corpse, in order to make itself have an ideal occasion for evolution, it has to provide nutrients to the host in the opposite way, and even the golden beetle will come to feed regularly to ensure that the larvae are not starved to death, and the food chain here is very single, and the food source of the golden beetle must be konjac flowers.
In addition, the pregnant female corpse provides a place for the larvae, which itself enters a pseudo-dormant state, but can be fed by larval food, slowly raising the fetus in the womb and giving birth to it.
And these fetuses have been affected by the weak toxicity of larvae for a long time, and they will also mutate more or less, and their body bones are much stronger than normal people.
When the Evil Lord said this, he casually looked at the two dwarfs.
I've been listening attentively, and at this time, like a sudden epiphany, I understood a lot of things at once, and even thundered by this thing, and I said in my heart, oh my God!
