Chapter 225: The Origin of the Bracelet
When he was seven or eight meters away from the strange giant cocoon, Li Ba stopped, and with a wave of his left hand, the single body of the ghost crying vine shot out, locking on the giant cocoon and stabbing it fiercely.
Needless to say, the power of the Devil Cry Vine is not much to say. Unexpectedly, this blow failed to pierce the giant cocoon. This shows how tough this cocoon is.
Li Ba frowned, and immediately controlled the Devil Cry Vine to change the attack method, and the single body was screeching and whistling, like a high-speed chainsaw cutting away.
Wow –
A few seconds later, the cocoon was cut open, and a thick mass of flesh resembling amniotic fluid rolled down. At this time, Li Ba stepped forward to look. At this glance, he immediately recognized the original face of the xenomorphous zombie that resembled a centipede before.
The size of the meat ball is not small, and if you look closely, it is actually made up of green-haired zombies, wrapped in flesh and bones. They seem to merge with each other, and multiple monoliths evolve into a single whole. The body is connected, and the back has a carapace formed. The hands also began to turn into hard arthropods, curled up into a ball, and it was the prototype of the centipede zombie just now.
No wonder there is a corpse tide in Hengshan County, and there is no trace of green-haired zombies. It turns out that these guys can evolve again, fuse with each other, and become perverted centipede zombies who are strong in attack and defense.
Looking around, there are hundreds of these cocoons all around. Li Ba was secretly frightened, if the attack on Hengshan County was delayed for a period of time, all the guys in these giant cocoons would be formed, and at that time, even if they could capture Hengshan County, they would have to suffer huge losses.
"Disgusting thing!"
Li Ba glanced at the meat ball in front of him, which was taller than himself. The centipede zombie hatchlings that have not yet evolved are like dead things, and they do not react at all. He didn't say a word. Directly control the body of the Devil Cry vine to cut away, and immediately cut the head of the centipede zombie hatchling in half.
Strange things happen. There is nothing in the hatchling's head. Not to mention the crystal nucleus, there is not even half a drop of medullary fluid.
Li Ba touched his bald head. Without much thought, all nine bodies of the Devil Crying Vine were released, and they began to dissect the giant cocoons one by one.
Half an hour later, disgusting lumps of flesh were everywhere on the floor, as well as giant cocoons that had been cut in half. The result is the same, the heads of these centipede zombie hatchlings are all empty. This disappointed Li Ba. He originally estimated that even if the larvae did not have a fourth-level crystal nucleus, they would at least be able to harvest a third-level crystal nucleus. The truth was that he got nothing.
There are two cocoons left. He didn't dissect it, and planned to transport it back to Su Lao for study. I believe that this old man who is obsessed with academics will be extremely excited to see such a strange zombie hatchling.
All the meat balls everywhere were collected into the bracelet space and used as fertilizer for the devil crying vine. Although the Devil Cry vine is already mature and cannot split into more plants, its nature is still full of thirst for devouring flesh and blood.
Two intact cocoons. was sacrificed by Li Ba with a wooden forbidden talisman, and it was heavily locked, like a big rattan ball. The shells of the giant cocoons that were broken apart were also collected together. It was all ready to be transported back to the city and handed over to the research institute.
After taking care of everything, Li Ba went around to take a closer look. After making sure that there was not a single giant cocoon left, he strode away.
Get out of the underground garage. As far as the eye can see, you are in the middle of the city. The street is full of high-rise buildings. It's just that there is no trace of human beings, only zombie corpses everywhere. These zombies were obviously killed by the yellow artemisia gas bombs, lying on the street, densely packed, and could not be seen at a glance.
"Yokoyama Building!"
Li Ba glanced back. The garage is located beneath a building with a sign hanging on the roof, named after Yokoyama, which must have been the most prosperous part of the city before the end of the world.
The county seat is not large, and it is estimated that it is only three or four kilometers away from the attacking defense line. At this moment, the sound of fighting outside has become smaller and smaller, and it is believed that by the end of the stage, the large army will soon move in.
He was not in a hurry to go out, looked around, saw a cigarette shop on the corner of the street, and strode over.
Ten minutes later.
Li Ba walked out of the cigarette hotel with a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of drink in his hand. All the good cigarettes in the store were scavenged, but fortunately, this thing was tightly packaged, and after nearly a year of the end of the world, there was no mold.
There are also drinks, although they have passed the expiration date, they still taste familiar to drink.
Sits on the curb with a butt. Li Ba waited on the spot, and his own people came to meet. Not long after, a crisp birdsong was heard in the air. His staff didn't come, but Ji'er led the flock of birds to find him first.
"Brother."
Ji'er stood on the back of the big flower and kept waving. Then, the big flower swooped down with a flock of birds and landed on the street.
"What's going on outside?"
When Ji'er came over, Li Ba handed her a bottle of drink and asked with a smile.
As a result, before Ji'er reached out to take it, the drink had been snatched by the hairy monkey. This guy is also clever, and knows to unscrew the cap and drink.
"Let you work hard and refuse to work hard, grab things one by one and top ten!"
Li Ba scolded with a smile, took out another bottle of drink and handed it to Ji'er. After Ji'er took it, she sat on the side of the road with Li Ba, and said with a smile: "The corpses have been cleaned up, Brother Shi and they are leading the team into the city, I rushed over first." ”
Li Ba nodded. His guess was right, after the centipede zombie was destroyed by himself, the remaining corpse tide could not pose a threat to the military and his subordinates at all. The two sides worked together to exterminate the tide of corpses without any suspense.
Later, Ji'er asked about the centipede zombie. After hearing that he was killed by Li Ba, he looked at Li Ba's big eyes, full of admiration.
You know, she saw that ugly guy with her own eyes, and the perverted defense and attack power he displayed. Even if you have a flock of birds to help you, it's not easy to kill. And Brother Li, alone, hunted down and killed, what courage and means do you need to do this!
"Brother, when you have time, will you teach me how to draw talismans?"
Unconsciously, Ji'er's little head leaned on Li Ba's shoulder. Li Ba's cheeks twitched a few times, and he wanted to move his body, but he was afraid that this little aunt and grandmother would be unhappy, so he could only say carefully: "Girl, as long as you want to learn, I will teach you at any time." ”
This is not a lie. The reason why Li Ba can be where he is today is thanks to the magical bracelet that his grandfather gave him before he died. I am grateful, and I regard my aunt as a dear person, as long as she wants to learn, she will definitely teach it.
After hearing this, Ji'er smiled sweetly on her little face and whispered, "Brother, you are so good to me." ”
After Li Ba heard this, he felt a sigh in his heart and secretly exclaimed: "This girl doesn't want to learn talismans, but takes the opportunity to test me." Sneaking out of the corner of his eye, he found for the first time that his aunt had really grown up, and she was no longer the little girl who pulled the corner of her clothes and refused to let go.
Now, I know how to play with myself!
Li Ba showed a helpless wry smile on his face.
"By the way, girl, I have a question for you."
In order to break this embarrassing situation, Li Ba began to change the subject.
"Brother, what do you want to ask?"
Ji'er immediately sat up straight, looking at Li Ba with a pair of big black eyes. Li Ba coughed dryly, thought for a while, and said, "Do you remember...... When your grandfather passed away, he gave me a bracelet, and I want to ask, where did your grandfather get this bracelet? ”
All along, Li Ba never asked her about her family. The cruelty of the last days, according to his inference, the family of the concubine must have died a long time ago, otherwise, the ancestors and grandchildren would not have fled to Xibu City that day.
In order not to make her sad and let her live a happy life, Li Ba didn't ask, not even her surname. In his heart, as long as he knows that Ji'er is his dearest person, it is enough.
Now, she has grown up and is still a gifted ability evolver. The large-scale corpse tide siege has been experienced, and the psychological quality has been greatly improved. Therefore, Li Ba dared to ask.
The reason for this is, firstly, to break the embarrassing atmosphere that made him, and secondly, it is also something he has always wanted to ask.
After hearing this, Ji'er's little face quickly darkened. When Li Ba saw it, he hurriedly said: "Brother just ask, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, it's okay." "He was in such a hurry that he even came out with the title of 'brother'.
"It's okay, brother, you want to know, I'll tell you."
Yan'er saw Li Ba's helpless appearance, smiled, and then spoke. The origin of this bracelet is very simple, Yan'er's grandfather was a cultural relics expert, about three or four years before the end of the world, Nanchao Lake was dug and dredged, and as a result, a suction dredge boat fished up a small iron box from the bottom of the lake. The bracelet was found inside the chest.
At that time, Grandpa Ji'er was working in the Nanchao City Cultural Relics Bureau, and when he opened the box with his own hands, there was this bracelet inside.
"What's in the box besides the bracelet?" Li Ba couldn't help but ask. That's what he's most concerned about.
Ji'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be ...... There are also a few pieces of ancient jade. ”
Gu Yu!
Li Ba's eyes lit up after hearing this, what he wanted to know was Gu Yu's whereabouts. He obtained a piece of ancient jade from Ran Ying, which changed the bracelet space dramatically, and also opened the first floor of the tower, allowing him to obtain the basic secret solution of the Five Elements Rune.
If you get a few more pieces of ancient jade, what kind of changes will happen to the bracelet space? Continue to open the tower, will there be more magical talisman secrets inside?
These are all things that Li Ba craves.
"Ji'er, do you know the whereabouts of those ancient jades?" Li Ba asked urgently.
Ji'er thought for a moment and said, "I heard my grandfather say that at that time, he left a bracelet and a piece of ancient jade for research, and the rest of the ancient jade ...... It seems that one piece was left in the Nanchao City Cultural Relics Museum, one piece was handed over to the Provincial Museum, and the remaining few pieces seemed to be handed over to the state! ”
Not to mention, the girl has a good memory, and the clues given are very clear. You know, three or four years ago, she might have been a teenager.
"That'...... Where's your grandfather's piece of ancient jade? ”
"Stolen."
Ji'er said very simply: "Although grandpa works in Nanchao City, his family lives in Liyang County. Once, when he was robbed, many of the cultural relics used for research in his home were stolen, including the ancient jade. Fortunately, Grandpa brought the bracelet with him, otherwise, it would have been stolen. ”
Li Ba nodded after hearing this. If his guess is correct, the piece of ancient jade he got from Ran Ying should be the one that Grandpa Ji'er lost. Somehow it fell into the hands of Ran Ying, and was finally obtained by him. (To be continued......)
