654.Chapter 654 - The Dryland Overlord Leech

"Brother, is this a chameleon from the south?"

"No, I haven't seen this thing before, but one thing is certain, it has been holding that huge corpse for thousands of years, and this guy must have a lot of experience and a suction cup on his mouth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As Wushuang spoke, he saw the flat strange creature sliding down the smooth cave wall little by little, and then slowly squirming against the ground, every time it squirmed, its body unconsciously expanded and contracted, and with its expansion and contraction, the size of the body was also changing, all stretched out to the size of an adult, only more than thirty centimeters after retraction, its body contraction ability is definitely cross-species, and even Wushuang wondered if its body was made up of sponges.

"Oh no, it's a dryland overlord leech! Stay away from it, it can suck all the flesh and blood of a living person dry in an instant!" Wushuang was stunned for a moment and suddenly recognized the monster's scientific name.

This dryland overlord leech is not made up, it does exist in reality. Many of its habits are very similar to those of its close relatives, leeches, and they live by sucking the blood of animals, they are soft invertebrates, most of the tissues in the body are spongy bodies, and they can move their bodies through the back and forth contraction of the spongy bodies when moving.

It is said that an expedition team went deep into the mountains and found this new species in a piece of ice that has not melted for thousands of years, but they were not sure what it was at that time, and the expedition team chiseled down this heavy ice and brought it back for study.

As the ice melted, the thing slowly came back to life. Because of this momentous discovery, both expedition members paid with their lives.

Later, biologists found that this monster has extremely strong vitality, in addition to high temperatures, can adapt to any harsh environment, their heartbeat is extremely slow, so the calorie consumption is also very low, in the case of extremely cold temperatures, they can enter a dormant state, and the dormant overlord leech is zero heartbeat.

After the earth recovers, it will also wake up, and then rely on the camouflage of its skin discoloration function to ambush in the mountains, once the prey is close to its body, it will expand to infinity, completely cover the prey, and then use the powerful sucker under it to suck the flesh and blood of the prey. The mouth of the leech is poisonous, and this venom penetrates into the prey to cause prolonged anesthesia to the prey, and it can enjoy the meal unscrupulously.

The well-fed dryland overlord leech is filled with the blood of its prey, and at first glance its skin is red, like a balloon that has been blown up. In this state, it has little ability to resist. However, this kind of thing is difficult to catch, and after so many years, only the Kunlun Snow Mountain Expedition team has captured one alive.

Later, after biologists mastered its habits, they found several of these ancient creatures in the extremely cold region of northern China, but because they were good at camouflage and extremely dangerous, they were never caught again.

In the excavation process of the ancient tomb of the emperor in the past, there were often archaeological team members who were cursed by the owner of the tomb, and all the members of an archaeological team entered the ancient tomb during the day to clean up, and at night there was no movement at all, and sent people to take a look, only a few dried corpses with skin and bones were found, and these encounters were undoubtedly all occurred when the archaeologists cleaned up the murals of the ancient tomb. The culprit is actually the dryland overlord leech hidden in the mural.

The treasure-holders of the Xing'an Mountains are no strangers to this mysterious creature. I remember that when Ma Ya followed her grandfather to Lingzi to look for an elixir called Ice Fairy Grass, she had thought about the dryland overlord leech near this herb that grows in the ice.

Ma Sihai is an old guest, what kind of monster in the mountains he hasn't seen? His first reaction when he saw the overlord leech was to take out a bag of salt from his pocket, and then before the slow-moving overlord leech pounced, he had already sprinkled a whole bag of salt on its skin that was constantly changing color. Unexpectedly, after the big guy who looked at the behemoth touched the salt, his body kept shrinking and wilting, and the salt burned a small sore on the surface of its body, but this small sore began to spread, and finally burned it into a fist-sized loose flesh sac and collapsed on the ground, and under its body was a puddle of vengeful yellow liquid. Ma Sihai said that these are its blood.

In fact, the blood of the overlord leech can cure diseases, and some foreign medical institutions extract a kind of anti-leukemia cell from the body fluid of the overlord leech, but because the overlord leech is too rare, this medicine has not been mass-produced.

Ma Ya was still very excited at the time, the grandparents and grandchildren may not make much money in the end after working for a year, not that the heavenly spirit treasure is worth a fortune, it depends on whether anyone recognizes it. Even if it is a treasure, if no one in the world knows it, then it is worthless. But it's different, it's a good thing to treat leukemia! International tycoons are even willing to pay eight figures for it.

But Ma Sihai said at that time that this thing could not be sold, the vitality of the dryland overlord leech is extremely strong, don't look at it is now corroded by salt, but it is not dead, as long as the temperature is right, it will be resurrected. After picking the Ice Fairy Grass, Ma Sihai burned the monster to ashes with a fire.

"Salt, which of you brought salt?" Wushuang also had confidence after hearing what Ma Ya said, but they came in a hurry and didn't prepare a picnic at all, where did anyone bring salt!

The dryland overlord leech moved slowly, but after smelling the yang energy of a living person, it still squirmed towards the three of them little by little. Every time its body squirmed, it kept expanding and contracting, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and the three of them were discussing how to deal with it, and when they looked up again, the guy was already close at hand, more than double the size just now.

And its flat body has begun to support upwards, ready to pounce, and a huge suction cup is exposed under its abdomen, which is composed of countless small suction cups, each of which is a separate mouth, and the mouth is full of two rows of sharp small teeth.

Yun Qiang didn't dare to hesitate, pulled the trigger and banged loudly, and the bullet whistled out and hit the soft overlord leech. Yun Qiang likes to use a shotgun, which is powerful and the bullets are scattered, and the closer the distance, the stronger the lethality.

"Grandma, what kind of monster is it? Eat Lao Tzu first! Do you have the ability to get up?" Yun Qiang roared. The Mongolian man is rude, and he will never say a word if he can solve it by force, and the soul who died under his gun and knife is more than ten figures!

"Damn, I'll take back what I just said!" Yun Qiang thought that his shotgun must have made a sieve of the dryland overlord leech, but he never thought that his shotgun was not small, but the bullet that hit the overlord leech was like a concentrated sponge on the body of the overlord leech, although the power of the bullet pushed it away, but it could not cause fatal damage to it.
