Chapter 626: The Road in the Primeval Jungle
After the six-person team had just entered the territory of Yunnan Province, Shangguan Kangning once again pulled out a tube of blood from Chen Ziyang's veins.
This was not the first time Shangguan Kangning had done this, after he reached an agreement with Chen Ziyang, Shangguan Kangning took a tube of blood from Chen Ziyang's veins. When the tube of blood was drawn out, Shangguan Kangning knew that the cause of the problem should be in Chen Ziyang's blood.
Because when he pulled out this tube of blood, the Gu worm carried by Shangguan Kangning became agitated again, and the degree of agitation was even worse than before. Obviously, when the blood is separated from Chen Ziyang's body, there is no barrier between muscles and skin, and the smell emitted by the blood is even stronger, making it easier to attract these Gu worms.
From that day on, Shangguan Kangning used this blood to start feeding the two ground green worms he had caught, as well as some of the rarer Gu worms he had carried.
Chen Ziyang is an ordinary person after all, his blood is not infinite, if the amount extracted in a short period of time is too large, it is easy to cause harm to his body, and Yang Lei and Dao Gu will not allow Shangguan Kangning to do this. So Shangguan Kangning has limited access to blood.
Because of this, in addition to feeding the ground green worms, he was only able to feed a limited amount of blood to some relatively rare Gu worms.
There are two reasons for the rarity of Gu worms, the first is that the protozoa refined into Gu worms are relatively rare, or they are more difficult to catch, just like the ground green worm.
The second reason is that the success rate of refining protozoa into Gu worms is very low, and often thousands of insect protozoa can be refined into one Gu worm. These two reasons have led to the fact that the number of some Gu worms is very scarce, and such Gu worms are usually the most useful, and they are the beloved of Gu masters.
Every time Shangguan Kangning drew blood from Chen Ziyang's veins, Chen Ziyang felt a little afraid. Because he found that Shangguan Kangning's eyes were full of greed when he saw these bloods, and even he felt that Shangguan Kangning was bleeding more saliva than the blood that was drawn by him.
But there is no way, Shangguan Kangning has dozens of bottles in his backpack, and each bottle contains more or less Gu worms, counting it, I am afraid that there are not a thousand Gu worms of all sizes, and this bit of blood of his own is simply not enough for these Gu worms to consume.
In addition to Chen Ziyang's blood, Shangguan Kangning also found some strange herbs to feed the ground green worms. Even if they are semi-Gu worms, their characteristics are very close to Gu worms, so the cultivation method is much simpler, you only need to feed some relatively rare plants and trees, and have more contact with them.
In addition to these things, Shangguan Kangning often collected the sweat of several other people and himself, and fed these things to the ground green worms.
According to him, there is a reason for this. The insect is very timid, and the smell emanating from the human body is very strong, and under the antennae of the ground green insect, you can feel a very strong smell, which makes the ground green insect feel very afraid.
After all, the current ground green worms have not been completely refined into Gu worms, so these things still have innate disadvantages. Only by regularly feeding the sweat of a few people can they be familiar with the smell of each person, can these insects slowly give up their wariness of several people, and can they focus their sense of smell on other smells.
Only in this way, when the six people went deep into the primeval forest, these ground green insects were able to distinguish other smells, and not be affected by the smell of the six people.
More than 20 days have passed since leaving Guizhou Province and reaching the edge of Gaoligong Mountain for six people.
In the past 20 days, Shangguan Kangning fed most of the blood of Chen Ziyang to the ground green worm.
Judging from his experience in raising Gu worms for so many years, anything that Gu worms are very interested in will definitely enhance the characteristics of Gu worms. After taking such a thing for a long time, Gu worms that originally relied on their sense of smell could have a sharper sense of smell, while Gu worms that could originally secrete Gu poison may secrete stronger Gu poison.
With the strengthening of Chen Ziyang's blood, the sense of smell of the ground green insects should be much sharper now, and it should be easy to use them to find the smell emitted by the female insects of the sun and moon nose insects.
Although it is already summer, some parts of the mountainous areas of Yunnan are still very cool, even a little cold.
The six people changed into a mountaineering equipment, carried a mountaineering backpack, and followed several teams of people to the depths of Gaoligong Mountain.
There are a lot of hikers in this season, probably tired of the ordinary life in the city, and hiking has gradually risen in recent years.
And because it is very dangerous to be alone in the wild, many hikers go on expeditions in groups to explore unknown areas. This is a very attractive thing for them, and six people are mixed in such a team, and it is not too conspicuous.
Chen Ziyang had already marked the location of the dot on the map, and according to the direction of the location, the six-member team followed some other expedition teams.
In this process, the most distressing thing was the two ground green worms captured by Shangguan Kangning, these two ground green worms can be said to have left the isolated place, and they now smell more than they have smelled in their previous lives.
The two ground green insects shivered in the bottle, and their two thick tentacles were curled up in the belly of the ground green insects along with the other legs.
It can't be helped, after all, there are too many scents that they haven't smelled nearby, and these smells are reflected in their minds, which are irresistible and powerful enemies.
In addition to the smell of some strangers, there were many smells of food and other things, which the two ground worms had never smelled.
The bottle containing the ground green worm is specially made by Shangguan Kangning, which is specially made to catch the ground green worm, don't look at this bottle on the surface It looks no different from other glass bottles, but in fact, this bottle is a high-tech product and costs a lot of money.
The walls of this bottle are covered with dense tiny holes, which are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye alone, so such a bottle looks like an ordinary glass bottle in the eyes of people.
But in fact, in addition to protecting the ground green insects contained in it, this glass bottle can also allow various smells to penetrate the bottle without hindrance, and be felt by the tentacles of the ground green insects.
It may be that with the nourishment of Chen Ziyang's blood, the ability of these two insects to feel the taste is even stronger, so along the way, the two insects have even decreased their appetite a lot, and there is no way to live a normal life at all. Curled up all the way to the bottom of the bottle.
The herbs that Shangguan Kangning fed to the two insects were not ordinary herbs, they were all very rare herbs that he had carefully selected, and these herbs had only one use, and that was to prolong the mating period of the ground green worms.
The living habits of this insect are very strange, and they will only take the initiative to smell the pheromones emitted from other insects when they are in the mating period. If the mating period is over, the ground worm will consciously choose to turn off this function.
This is also the characteristics of the ground green insects, that is, their characteristics as Gu worms, and one of the main purposes of Gu refining is to infinitely amplify the characteristics of Gu worms.
With Shangguan Kangning's cultivation, it can be said that in the short term, the Earth Green Worm can still smell the pheromones emitted by other insects, this is still not completely practiced into Gu worms, if the Earth Green City is refined into Gu worms, these two insects can smell the pheromones at any time.
It may be that with the promotion of Chen Ziyang's blood, the male captured by Shangguan Kangning, one female and two ground green worms, actually had a second mating in that special bottle. This is absolutely impossible to happen to a wild ground worm.
This insect only mates once a year, and the probability of successful mating is very low, which is why this insect is scarce. Unexpectedly, with the help of Chen Ziyang's blood, a miracle appeared on these two insects.
It may be precisely because of this that now Shangguan Kangning is simply obedient to Chen Ziyang, and in his eyes, Chen Ziyang and the saint are undoubted. After all, his blood can produce a very magical effect on the Gu worm's body. This is also what Shangguan Kangning, who is a Gu master, cares about the most.
As time goes by, the team of six people is getting closer and closer to the depths of Gaoligong Mountain, and along the way, there are fewer and fewer travelers who can be seen, after all, it is too dangerous to go deep into Gaoligong Mountain, it is very easy to get lost, and it is also easy to be attacked by some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.
Those who have never been into the mountains do not know the horrors of the mountains. In the past, some people would scoff when they heard that someone was lost in the mountains, thinking that all the people who got lost were fools, and they couldn't even tell the direction, and as long as they went in one direction, or returned the same way, they would definitely be able to go out sometime.
But in fact, this is not the case, especially in some high mountains and dense primeval forests, this idea is simply ridiculous.
When going forward, people can climb some cliffs, but when these people want to go backwards, they can't climb down anyway.
Because when a person climbs up, he can jump up with the strength of his legs, but when he climbs down, the strength of his hands is far from enough, and he cannot support long-distance movement at all.
As a result, there are many cliffs that can be climbed but cannot be returned. Because of this, it is easy for teams in the mountains and forests to get lost, because if they can't return the way they came, they have to change the direction they walk, and it's easier to get lost.
In some dense forests, there is no way to discern the direction, not even the sunlight. It is very dangerous to go in such a place without a lot of experience, which is why many hiking groups do not want to go deep into the mountains.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyang and others picked up a treasure, that is, Shangguan Kangning. As a native of Guizhou, Shangguan Kangning knows the mountains very well, especially when he often travels back and forth between Yunnan and Guizhou to look for some rare insects, so he has now become the guide of the whole team.
Where to find food, where to find water, what kind of road is safest, the other five people obeyed him.
Several members of the team had endured all the hardships, walked for a long time in the dense jungle, and did not know how many rivers they had waded through, and how many mountains they had crossed, until they finally came to the edge of the dot on the map, and from here, they needed to rely on the keen sense of smell of the ground green insects.
Along the way, Shangguan Kangning has become familiar with a lot of smells of the two ground green insects, and he has also established some connections with the ground green insects, and basically can already judge whether the two little guys have smelled any weird fresh smells through the actions of the insects.
Now that the two bugs have been almost trained, plus the surrounding area is sparsely populated, and the two bugs are already familiar with the smell of the six people, so the two bugs have returned to normal, and the thick antennae of the limbs are standing up, catching all kinds of smells.
Whenever there was an abnormal movement of the Emperor Green Worm, Shangguan Kangning would always lead the team in the direction of emitting a strange smell. However, many times, it was found that the scents of the centric worms were scents that they had not smelled before, and these smells were not emitted by the females of the sun and moon nose worms.
"His grandmother's, these two bugs are so angry with me now, I want to crush them to death. These two insects are like they have never seen the world, how can there be so many smells that they have not smelled. ”
When the team found out that this time it caused the smell of the ground green insects, which was just a rare poisonous snake, Yang Lei scolded and said.
Although the other people have no complaints, but they are also tossed not lightly, every time the ground green insects have a strange movement, everyone has to walk a long way up the mountain, after all, this kind of insects have a sense of smell is too keen, they can be dozens of kilometers away from the abnormal movement.
The biggest enemies of the six people now are not those Gu worms that may exist in Yuan Tiangang's treasure, nor is it that they can't find out where the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang is, but this mountainous area is the primeval jungle in the mountainous area.
While discovering new things with the smell of the ground green worm, and constantly correcting the direction, the team slowly approached the center of the dot on the map.
After breakfast that day, the team was still moving forward slowly, and at this time, Shangguan Kangning found that the ground green worm had moved again, and this time the reaction of the two insects was much stronger than any before.
Such a violent reaction is second only to the reaction of the two insects when they eat Chen Ziyang's blood. Suddenly discovering such an anomaly, Shangguan Kangning was speechless in surprise.
And the rest of the team also felt that this time there was a good chance that the two bugs had caught something amazing.
