Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bone Eater

We also fixed our eyes on the worm, the body was flat, only the size of a soybean, and it was covered with tiny feet, densely packed I don't know how many of them, I had never seen this kind of worm before. We were all secretly amazed in our hearts, what kind of worm was this, how could it be so hard.

This insect was hit hard by Zhang Chengshan, but instead of being injured, it was more energetic, plucking countless insect feet and crawling towards Zhang Chengshan's toes. At the same time, several more black bugs crawled out of the bamboo leaves.

After a while, there were already seven or eight insects, crawling towards Zhang Chengshan in unison, and Zhang Chengshan instinctively jumped backwards and dodged these insects first.

At this time, the bamboo leaves around kept shaking, and the bamboo leaves turned over one after another, and each bamboo leaf turned over, and two or three insects appeared. The dense feet under the black body of this group of insects kept moving, and the bamboo leaves were brushed and brushed, which was also shocking.

After a while, a large number of insects appeared, and it turned out that a bunch of yellow bamboo leaves had been blackened and pressed all with insects.

This group of insects is like a wave, surging towards Zhang Chengshan.

Zhang Chengshan hurriedly handed the wrench to the driver's apprentice, asked him to repair the car quickly, and pulled me back to the car.

But the swarm of bugs was in hot pursuit, still surging behind them.

Zhang Chengshan saw that the tires had not been replaced, and it would take some time to repair the car, so he opened the trunk, took out the Qiankun gossip bag, slung it on his shoulder, and strode towards the swarm.

Facing wave after wave of insect swarms, I saw his left hand into the pocket, a stack of runes in his hand, and a spell in his mouth, the runes burned on their own in his hands.

Zhang Chengshan threw the runes forward, and the runes formed a barrier, and when the group of insects saw the burning runes, they turned their feet on the spot, and did not dare to attack forward, nor did they bypass the rune barrier, and advanced from both sides.

I saw that after his rune was spilled, four or five bugs had slipped through the net, and had already crossed the rune. I caught a glimpse of the shovel in the trunk, grabbed it in my hand, strode forward, aimed at the black bugs, and shoveled it hard.

I just saw that the wrench can't hurt the insects, I thought it was a problem with the strength arm, the wrench is too short, and the force is not strong enough, but my shovel is long enough, the so-called one inch long, one inch strong, this shovel down, those black insects are either dead or injured.

Unexpectedly, my shovel was like a stone, and between the shovel and the insects, there was a piercing sound of iron touching. Because I used too much force, I tried hard to make it empty, and accidentally fell to the ground with a shovel.

I couldn't help but curse and said, "Damn, what is this, is it still a worm, it's as hard as a stone!" ”

Zhang Chengshan saw that I came to help, but instead of helping, he wanted to drag him down, and shouted: "What are you doing, go back quickly!" ”

I fell to the ground, and when I heard Zhang Chengshan roaring, I couldn't help but feel aggrieved, I wanted to help you, why didn't I make it indiscriminate. But when I thought about it, Senior Brother Zhang did have real talent and learning, the shovel could not move, and the wrench could not shoot the dead insects, he could use runes to subdue them, and he didn't take them to heart.

I was about to get up, when suddenly two insects quickly moved their dense feet and crawled in front of my eyes like arrows, and when I looked at them so closely, I was so frightened that I straightened up on the spot.

The appearance of this bug makes people's scalps tingle, and no one wants to take a second look.

Black, all black.

Under the soybean-sized body, there are thirty or forty feet, and these insect feet are like soft tentacles, and they are like hard steel wires. The swarthy back of the insect is like a turtle shell, and the lines on the shell are distinct. There is no head and eyes, and on the flat body, there are mouths on all sides, and the black teeth that are squeezed one after another are like short serrations embedded under the turtle shell, and they go around in a full circle.

I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart: "If you get bitten here, it will hurt into your bones." ”

Instinctively, I lifted the shovel again and smashed it at the crawling bugs. Raising the shovel, I found that under the shovel just now, the tip of the shovel was rolled up.

This worm is not just a stone, it is harder than a stone!

Zhang Chengshan pushed me away, and another rune was burning in his hand, and by the light of the fire, he drove a few insects that slipped through the net into the bamboo forest.

Outside the rune barrier, the originally turbulent insect swarm gradually dissipated, some burrowing back under the bamboo leaves, and some crawling into the bamboo forests on both sides of the path. Several snake skeletons were also dragged under the bamboo leaves by this group of insects.

After a while, the runes burned out, and the gray rune ash fluttered in the wind. Only bamboo leaves remained on the pavement, and there was not a single insect or snake bone to be seen.

We watched as the insects hid under the bamboo leaves, and at the moment the bamboo leaves on the road were carried by the insects and kept moving. A large bamboo leaf runs into the bamboo forest as if it has grown legs.

With the southerly wind, new bamboo leaves shook off from the top of the bamboo forest, covering the road, and the bamboo forest path finally returned to calm.

The heart we were carrying finally fell, and I took a deep breath, I haven't encountered this kind of thing in the seven years I have been studying art.

"What kind of bug is this?" I asked again.

Zhang Chengshan glanced at me, still dissatisfied with my shovel just now, and said reproachfully: "Next time you encounter a crisis situation, let you do whatever you want." I glanced at him and didn't answer.

Zhang Chengshan then began to explain: "I followed Master in my early years and had an understanding of this kind of bug. This bug is called a 'bone eater'. Although the name is 'Bone Erosion', it is not meant to be eaten when you see 'bones'. This insect will guard the 'bones' that should be guarded and attack the 'bones' that are hostile. These insects are supposed to be guarding those snake bones. Just now I disturbed the pile of bamboo leaves, and the snake skeleton was disturbed, and to the insects, I was the enemy, so they attacked me. ”
