After the three of us sat down, Mai Lao began to speak, "Although the wreck has been discovered, it is almost salvaged now, I have decided to salvage it again tomorrow morning, do you have any opinions?" ”

We nodded in agreement, but Jenny suddenly said to me, "Can you do it?" The leg injury is not healed yet, but don't do it again. Although her tone was a little unkind, I could still hear a little concern, which really warmed my heart.

"It's okay, this little injury doesn't delay things, what kind of background are we, marines." I deliberately put the Marines very seriously, and kept my eyes on Jenny, but Jenny quickly turned her eyes away.

"Zhongyi, Jenny is right, you have injuries on your body now, and you are not suitable to go into the water for the time being, tomorrow you stay on the boat, and a few of us can go into the water." Lao Mai said to me very seriously.

"Okay, Mai Lao, you just have to make a decision." Actually, I don't want to go into the water at all, I just perfunctory them, this leg injury is not healed, no matter how serious the water is, I can't do it, besides, I want to rest more.

"Okay, since there's nothing to do, let's disperse the big guys." As soon as Mai Lao's words were finished, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey, Mai Lao, I want to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Mai Lao pushed his glasses.

"What are those little black monsters we met under the deep sea?" I looked around, and I remembered this unknown creature too deeply, and that's how the wound on my mother's leg came about.

Mai Lao frowned and thought for a while and said, "This should also be a fish in the ocean, but I can't tell which kind of fish it is for the time being, and there is no record of human beings at present." ”

I sighed helplessly, and said in my heart, go to your uncle, aren't you the same as not saying it? I also know that it is a strange thing in the ocean, aren't you an expert in marine biology? Since you went to sea, none of the things you have encountered know have been encountered, and you still call yourself an expert called a beast, so let's play with the eggs.

When Mai Lao saw my expression, he was very embarrassed and said, "It seems that I still don't understand this vast ocean thoroughly." ”

Jiao Ba said with a hippie smile next to him, "Oh, that thing has nothing to do with sea creatures, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a bloodthirsty insect." ”

"Bloodthirsty insects? That's what the again. I looked at Jiao Ba with a question mark, this grandson really knows a lot about these strange things, and tomb robbers are different from ordinary people.

Mai Lao and Jenny also put on a deaf look, especially Mai Lao, he, a marine theostist, is inferior to a tomb robber, which makes him embarrassed, this old guy didn't dare to talk much, so he had to listen obediently.

Jiao Ba smiled and said, "You all should know about leeches, right?" That is, locusts. ”

"Locusts? Isn't it still called Ant Skin? Junko asked suddenly.

Jiao Ba nodded and said, "You're right, this thing is called ant skin in the Northeast, which is what everyone often calls a bloodsucking worm, which usually appears in river bubbles, often focuses on the soles of the feet, and it is not easy to come out. ”

As soon as Jiao Ba said this, I remembered that when I was young, I was subjected to the skin of ants once, that thing was dedicated to the soles of my feet, and if I couldn't pull it out at all, I had to use my shoes to jerk the soles of my feet, which was very sinful, but what does this thing have to do with that little monster?

I hurriedly asked, "Everyone knows this antskin, and you need to say it, we now want to know what kind of bird that little black monster is." ”

Jenny also said, "Yes, the locust is a sucker creature, does it have anything to do with that strange thing you are talking about?" ”

"It's a big deal, don't worry, everyone listen to me slowly." Jiao Ba sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "In this way, let me put it simply, this bloodthirsty insect is actually a locust, but it is just a mutated species of a locust. ”

"A mutated species of grasshopper? Fuck, eight, you're not fooling me, are you? It's not like I've never seen that locust, does that thing have such sharp teeth? Will there be fins like those of a fish? "I feel that Jiao Ba's words are a bit, and the locusts are not like that thing at all.

Jiao Ba glanced at Mai Lao, and said a little bit of a sellout, "Mai Lao, what do you think?" Will it matter? ”

Mai Lao took a deep breath and said, "Based on my understanding of marine creatures, it's not that there is no possibility of mutation, but whether that creature is transformed by a locust or not, I can't draw conclusions." ”

I saw that Jiao Ba was deliberately embarrassing this old man, knowing that Mai Lao couldn't answer at all, and asked like this, making it clear that he was making this old guy ugly, I pursed my mouth and snickered next to me, but it happened to meet Jenny's eyes, this girl glared at me fiercely, and I barely put away my smile.

Jiao Ba smiled and said, "It's definitely a mutant species of grasshoppers, I've seen this thing once before, probably a few years ago, I saw it in an ancient tomb in the Jin Kingdom, but it's a little different from what we saw under the deep sea, but it's all the same, I heard the old man of my family say that bloodthirsty insects are actually a kind of parasite, and it is a way for the living to be punished." ”

"In ancient times, there was a kind of criminal law, which was to put a large number of locusts into the body of the prisoner, and then let the locust suck the blood of the prisoner, and then torture to death a little bit, which is a very disgusting and cruel criminal law, and after the prisoner died, he would be buried under the soil along with the locust."

"After a hundred or even hundreds of years, this parasitic locust on the human body will become a monster that we saw underwater at that time, called a bloodthirsty insect."

After listening to Jiao Ba's explanation, although it was a little foggy, I understood a little bit, although the credibility was not high, but there was no more reasonable explanation for the time being, so I could only blindly believe it to be true, but I still asked rhetorically, "Then how can you be sure that this thing must be mutated by a locust?" Couldn't it be some other creature? ”

Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "Don't ask me about this, I only know such a thing, how do I know why, just like you asked me how human beings came to be, if I can answer, I guess I don't have to work so hard." ”

Junko took a stupid sentence, "You don't have to think about it, humans are monkeys." ”

After he finished saying this, Jiao Ba said again, "By the way, I almost forgot, this bloodthirsty insect has another name, called a demon worm." ”

What the? Demon bugs? Several of us were stunned after hearing this, and I immediately asked, "Does this demon worm have anything to do with that demon worm corpse?" ”

Jiao Ba nodded and said, "It must have a relationship, as far as I know, there are two ways to make demon insect corpses, one is to use pills, that is, some mages refine their own pills, but the success rate is not very high, it is easy to lead to failure in the production process, once you fail, the corpse will be corroded immediately, and the other is to use bloodthirsty insects, the success rate is very high, but bloodthirsty insects are difficult to find, so if you want to make demon insect corpses, ordinary dignitaries and nobles do not have that ability, what do you say? ”

Jiao Ba's last words were thrown to Mai Lao again, and Mai Lao pushed his glasses and said, "It seems that you said so, I just know that there is such an evil thing, and I don't know anything else." ”

I suddenly felt that this old guy seemed to be hiding something, or maybe I was too careful, so I asked casually, "Old man, according to what you said, will these bloodthirsty insects come out of the coffin of the female corpse?" ”

"It's very likely, didn't you say before that you had encountered the floating corpses of a few divers, I think their deaths are inseparable from the female corpse in the coffin, and if you can't get it, it's the masterpiece of bloodthirsty insects." Jiao Ba analyzed very calmly.

I turned my head and said, "Yes, they all died miserably, it's really possible, eighty percent they opened the coffin and released those bloodthirsty insects, Junko, remember when we first opened the deck hatch, didn't these bloodthirsty insects just come out of it?" ”

Junzi nodded and said, "Well, that's true, what do you think?" ”

Old man Mai said with a cold face, "I don't care about their deaths, I just want to know if we can touch the coffin." ”

Jiao Ba said very seriously, "It's best not to touch the coffin, including the shipwreck, you can stay away, try to stay away, I don't know what will happen to the female corpse, in short, it's definitely not that simple." ”

Jenny let it go, "Absolutely not, I've said it many times, no matter what, we have to salvage the wreck, Jiao Ba, you have to come up with a solution for me." ”

Jiao Ba said helplessly, "What can I do, forget it, leave it to fate, I hope we are lucky enough to get through this difficulty."

At this time, Mai Lao finally said, "Okay, okay, no matter what the hell is, in short, none of us want to encounter it again, now it's getting late, let's go back and rest and rest, continue to go to sea tomorrow, and say anything about the shipwreck." ”
