Chapter 296: Human Parasites
Some experienced adventurers are not like that group of mercenaries, scrambling to grab the gold bricks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The magic weapons buried in the ancient city of Arthur are the goal of their trip.
Don't underestimate mercenaries, although mercenaries are a very lowly profession in the eyes of nobles, there is never a shortage of strong people in the mercenary world, some of them are second-to-none kendo masters, some are archmages with superior wisdom, and there are also declining nobles and generals of a hundred battles.
Suddenly, the sound of a small stream caught Li Jun's attention, and in front of him, there was a wide river, the shore of which could not be seen, and was shrouded in fog and darkness.
The Judges stopped, not rushing forward, and it was clear that even though King Arthur had been dead in battle for thousands of years, future generations still had a sense of fear and mystery about him.
Not everyone can lead an army to fight under the city of light, even the natives in ancient times and the anti-light alliance led by elves have not been able to do it.
From the early years of the Common Era to the present, there are only a few famous people in ancient history, such as the holy necromancer Yugritu and King Arthur, the greatest emperor of all mankind......
Trickling water, clear and white, somehow, when Li Jun came to the river, he suddenly felt very thirsty, which made people subconsciously want to drink a few large bowls of water.
Li Jun turned his head, pressed Hammer and the others, and motioned to them with his eyes.
A few young mercenaries who came one after another took out a bowl with a big thorn, scooped a bowl of water, and poured it into their stomachs with a clatter.
The Judge Knights looked at the mercenaries indifferently, and when they drank the water from the stream, they met the dark eyes of the Judge Knights, and they couldn't help but shudder, not knowing what they had done wrong.
The old mercenary frowned, resisted the impulse, and drank the pure water he had prepared, but the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, and he was distraught, so he threw the kettle aside.
"It's weird, it's too evil here!" Hammer wiped his mouth, and a kettle of water poured into his stomach, but he still felt very thirsty, and the mercenaries who had drunk the water in the creek did not react at all, and looked at the surrounding scene carelessly.
Li Jun drank a few sips of cold water and took another sip in his mouth, but no matter how much he tried, it had no effect.
"It's the weirdness of the air here that affects our thinking, but under normal circumstances, we don't feel thirsty at all, it's just our feelings and our minds. Li Jun said calmly.
Hammer was stunned and opened his mouth, about to say something.
"The best thing to do is to endure it, and exercise your willpower. Li Jun said.
Hammer nodded, glanced slightly, and glanced at the elderly mercenaries, who either closed their eyes, or cursed, or chatted with others, and never looked at the river again.
Hammer and the others simply closed their mouths and eyes.
Out of sight is pure, swallowing hard to foam at the mouth to relieve the feeling of thirst.
The scene became silent, and the calm face of the Chief Judge also flashed with a hint of waves.
Li Jun walked alone to a certain place on the riverside, looked around, summoned a sea beast, dived into the water, and poured the water of the stream with a big mouthful, and there was no condition or discomfort.
Li Jun frowned, and said silently: "It stands to reason that in such a deep underground, how can there be a river? Besides, this is a desert, there should be no such thing as an underground river, the stream is clear and white, even in the pure natural green state, you can't find such a clear water......"
Through the feeling of the sea beast, it is equivalent to Li Jun's second doppelganger, the water of the stream is clear and sweet, and you can see the bottom of the water when you look down.
There were no living creatures in the creek, which made Li Jun feel even more surprised and alert.
"Cross the river. The chief of the adjudicator gave a cold command, and a small boat flew out of thin air, and with a bang, landed on the surface of the stream, and rapidly expanded, turning into a steel ship that could accommodate a hundred people.
The steel ship is black, the sails are of the type with gold trim on a white background, and the two crossed swords are crossed together, representing a kind of force.
More than a dozen sea beasts were summoned to escort them, and Li Jun, Hammer and others took a small sailboat and began to cross the river.
The front was hazy, shrouded in fog, and it was dark to see the opposite shore.
A lamp was lit and placed on the bow of the ship, and a dark wind blew on the ground...... The lights are off.
"Your grandmother is a bear, playing ghost blowing up the lamp with Lao Tzu?" Li Jun widened his eyes and blew into the lamp, and the pure mana turned into a red flame, and with a bang, a raging flame was ignited, forming a lotus shape.
Not only the sailboat that Li Jun was riding, but also the lights of the other ships were strangely extinguished, which frightened some people to start retreating, especially those mercenaries who had grabbed a large number of gold bricks, and began to shout and retreat.
"Ah......h
A terrible scream rang out, and through the white mist, a ship was torn apart with a strange clattering sound.
A large pool of blood, stained the clear stream, slowly spread, and a corpse with a swollen stomach and a pale face floated along the current.
The corpses with bulging bellies, without exception, were mercenaries who had drunk the water of the stream.
Hammer and the others were startled, Li Jun took out the sacrificial scepter and poked the stomach of a dead corpse, only to hear a "bang", the stomach of the dead corpse suddenly exploded, and the stinky blood flowed out, and there were bugs the size of fingernails.
Creak~~
The sharp screams were endless, and the swollen stomachs of the mercenaries' dead bodies exploded one after another, some were stabbed by the curious mercenaries, and some were their own stomachs, which swelled to a certain extent and exploded, and those disgusting bugs flowed out with blood and entered the water, and the sharp "squeak" screams also disappeared.
"What kind of bugs are these?" asked Hammer in a trembling manner.
Li Jun was silent, and through the perspective of the sea beasts escorting, he found that after those insects entered the water, their bodies were rapidly getting bigger, and they opened and closed their mouths and poured the water of the stream!
"Parasite!" Li Jun said with a stunned face after a moment of silence.
"Parasite? Is it the kind of parasite that the teacher said?"
"Whether it is a monster, a poultry or a human being, there will be several kinds of parasites in the body, those parasites are only the size of particles and mustard seeds...... However, the above theory only applies to normal situations, and if I am not mistaken, the water in this stream is supposed to be harmless to people, but it is extremely powerful against parasites in the human body, which can promote their growth, just like those dead corpses with tattered stomachs, and when the parasites grow to a certain extent, they will burst open the host's stomach. Li Jun said.
"This ......" Hammer and the others were stunned, looking at those wriggling bugs, their stomachs couldn't help but feel sick.
Roar!
Suddenly, the more than ten sea beasts escorting under the water began to become irritable, and their strength also became extremely large, under Li Jun's control, they let out a dull roar, and then their stomachs began to bulge, and the symptoms were exactly the same as those dead corpses.
An omen before a tummy break?
Li Jun whispered, no wonder the ship became torn apart, maybe it was those belly-breaking mercenaries, who got it before the onset of the disease, became aggressive, lost their minds, and their strength also became very great, squeezing out the functions of various organs of the human body, otherwise, the mercenaries who died before also had swordsmen who cultivated their fighting spirit, and with the power of their fighting spirit, it was still easy to deal with a group of weak parasites.
Bang!
The stomachs of more than ten sea beasts exploded, and their bodies slowly floated up, and immediately, several large insects began to bite the corpses of sea beasts, speeding up the process of evolution and mutation.
Burst!
Li Jun used the bottom of the scepter to poke the head of a worm and threw it onto the boat, and Hammer and the others retreated in fright.
Li Jun took out a sharp dagger and cut the insect's head, and a jet-black bead rolled out.
This is the Magic Core!!
"A human parasite has turned into a monster?" Hammer exclaimed in surprise.
Li Jun was also shocked enough, some mature insects began to attack small river-crossing boats, but now all the boats are almost made of iron sheets, containing solid wood, and the most inferior are iron and wood materials, and the mercenaries on the boat are not vegetarians, the spears and bows and arrows in their hands are stabbed indiscriminately, and a few adult insects suddenly let out a "squeak" and a sharp cry retreated.
"It's already a first-order, and it is estimated that it won't take three minutes for those parasites to reach the second-order level. Li Jun said solemnly.
"So fast?!" Hammer was shocked.
You must know that except for the demonic beasts with the bloodline of holy beasts, if ordinary demonic beasts want to complete their evolution, how can they have ten or eight years, this is not all demonic beasts have the opportunity to evolve, such as the yellow scale bee, the highest level in this life is the third level, this is a kind of limit, even if it mutates again, it can only increase some of the rest of the ability.
Parasites, not even of the first order, are so small that the vast majority of living beings forget their existence, and a word for particles and mustard seeds can describe their size and strength.
It was this kind of small-to-small guy who came to a big counterattack, like a bloodthirsty beast, and began to hunt and kill strong humans.
Wow!
A bug showed its head, like a snake, with sharp spikes on its back, and in just a few minutes, the parasite went from the size of a particle to a six-meter-long mass!
"Shoot the arrows!!" The mercenary who had been prepared for a long time suddenly shot sharp arrows one after another.
On the arrows, the mercenaries were smeared with corrosive agents, and the jet-black luster was filled with a breathing aura.
Dingdingding......
Countless arrows were shot at the back and head of the insect, and the arrows coated with corrosive agents made a "snorting" sound with the back and skull of the insect.
Roar!
The insect roared angrily, opened its huge mouth, and with a sharp bite, half of the hull of the ship was bitten off by it, and the bodies of five or six mercenaries became torn apart, and blood and stumps flew around.
"Ahh......h (To be continued.) )
