Chapter 177: Worm Man

The huge blue lake, like a magnificent sapphire, lies quietly in a sea of red bushes. The blue sky is reflected in the water, and the water and the sky are the same color, and it is impossible to tell which is the sky and which is the earth. From time to time, silver fish swim in the water, stirring up ripples, and their backs sparkle like crystal in the sunlight.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Wu Yan let out a long sigh. It had been three days since I came out of the exit of the Stygian Mountain, and there were red bushes on all sides, which stretched out into the distant sky.

Having experienced the suffering of hunger on the Plateau of Annihilation, Wu Gen has an extremely strong sense of crisis about food. Although the six of them also brought a lot of food that was easy to store, as well as temporary elixirs to fill their hunger, they always used less, and there were no new supplements, and no matter how high their cultivation was, they would have to starve to death in this red sea.

Among the six people, Shui Congyue didn't have to worry about these trivial matters, and if he couldn't find food, it was the responsibility of Wu Gan, the leader, who was only responsible for fighting. Bridge class, needless to say, was a little novel at first, but after getting tired of this cookie-cutter environment, he concentrated on tinkering with his magic weapons.

As for Qihe, after entering the Great Relic Continent, he put all his thoughts on Feng'er. Feng'er, at the entrance of the Stygian Mountain, she bravely blocked Rong Xi's attack, so that everyone also recognized her skills, and then established her position among the six. At this time, she just needs to be a quiet beauty.

Only Wu Gan and Bao Xiang searched around as they walked, hoping to find some live birds and beasts to supplement the group's provisions. Finally, after searching for a long time, this large lake appeared in front of the six people.

Staring at the lake for a long time, Wu Gen and Baoxiang glanced at each other and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Supposedly, the discovery of a living creature here should be the greatest good news these days. But the entanglement is that the fish in this lake actually have a face shaped like a dog, fins like hands, and a cry like a child.

Looking at a silver fish crying at their feet, Wu Yan and Baoxiang were really a little unable to do it. These whitebait have a fierce temperament, and when the treasure elephant went into the water to catch it, many whitebait jumped up and bit it, and after getting a wound, it was not easy to catch one ashore.

Several people gathered around, staring at each other, and they really didn't know what to do. While hesitating, Feng'er walked over, picked up the Qi Qi broadsword, and slapped it with a sword, and the cry of the silverfish stopped abruptly.

After doing all this, Feng'er seemed to have just killed an ant, without any fluctuations, and sat calmly on the side, looking at the mirror-like lake with her hands and knees.

Wu Yan and a few people looked at each other, well, since he is dead, he can't waste it. They tore down some dry trees and lit a fire. Wu Yan cut open the hard scale armor of the whitebait, shaved off the internal organs, and skewered it with a branch and roasted it.

After a while, the smell of burnt fish quickly spread through the air. The sound of swallowing saliva sounded from time to time. These days, all I eat is dry food, how can there be a living creature that tastes so attractive.

The fish was grilled, and looking at the meat with hot oil, several people were a little afraid to eat it. Wu Geng's heart was crossed, and he broke a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

As soon as the meat is entered, the fragrance spreads in the mouth, like a spring breeze wrapped in the fragrance of flowers lingering in the mouth, and the rich umami quickly occupies the mouth, which makes people feel tired. Then, the umami slowly fades into a faint osmanthus flavor, and the aftertaste lingers around the tongue.

Where is this meat, this is clearly the breath of life.

Wu Yan was lying happily on the ground, smiling, his eyes slightly closed, constantly reminiscing about the feeling of Fang Cai. cao

After waiting for a pillar of incense, the treasure elephant urgently asked, "How, but it is poisonous, but it can still be eaten."

Wu Yan groaned, Huo Ran got up, grabbed the rest of the fish and chewed it. Witnessing this scene, a group of people waiting for the results of the drug test did not know that this fish could be eaten.

Soon, everyone tasted it, and they were all dumbfounded, even Feng'er's eyes lit up, carefully licking the fish oil from the corner of her mouth, and looking directly at Wu Gan. As soon as a few people wanted to do it again, the hollybird, which had been shrinking behind and watching the situation, rushed over and swallowed the rest of the fish head with spines.

I understand, what are you waiting for, call him a fish head and a dog head, and only the fish that can be eaten can be called a fish. Wu Gen and others showed their skills, and all their efforts were used to catch fish. The fish swims very fast in the water, and it is quite fierce, and it does not look at the treasure elephant

Like a wound on a baby's mouth?

The water from the moon and Qi He used their weapons and slammed down the lake, and soon seven or eight fish were stunned and floated to the surface. Wu Gan performed his magic technique, skimming the surface of the water like a dragonfly, and quickly threw the fish on the surface of the water to the shore. The treasure elephant stretched out all four hands, grabbing the silverfish that had been thrown over.

For a time, the shore was in full swing, and laughter and laughter rang out. Everyone who participated in the work had the joy of a good harvest on their faces.

Roasted, steamed, braised and braised in a steady stream of fish of various flavors are presented in front of everyone, the taste of fish, the taste of the lake, the taste of the ingredients, but also the taste of raw and satisfying, so that a few people who have traveled hard for many days have once again appreciated the beauty of the world.

After eating the fish, a bowl of rich fish soup, and the dry cakes brought in the future tense are enough to melt the fatigue of several days of hard work.

Baoxiang patted his bulging stomach and sighed, "I didn't expect there to be such a delicious taste in the world, if you eat it every year, every day, this trip to the Great Heritage Continent is also worth it." We'll just camp here and return when the two years come."

No one will pay attention to his nonsense, if he comes to the Great Relic Continent and returns after eating countless fish, I am afraid that the six of them will leave a heavy mark in the history of the wilderness.

The six of them continued along the lake, and after walking for less than half a day, they found that the fish in the lake seemed to be obedient, and when they saw someone, they avoided it far away, or sank under the water and disappeared.

This inevitably made several people worried, such a delicious taste is not available in front of them, it is simply a kind of torture.

In the midst of his depression, the holly bird suddenly ran into the bushes on the shore, its hind paws digging into the ground. Wu Gen and Baoxiang rushed over to take a look, and a finger-long, white insect was turned out of the soil. The insects resemble silkworms, only slightly larger, and struggle desperately under the claws of the hollybirds.

Baoxiang pinched the insect casually, the insect body was a little cold, and the round body was very comfortable to knead. Sensing the threat, the bug wrapped its body around the elephant's fingers, trying to escape through the cracks.

Before bringing the insect to his face and examining it carefully, Bao Xiang smiled and said, "Wu Gan, don't worry about the fish, this thing is like a silkworm, and it must taste very delicious when fried." As he spoke, he was about to swallow the worm whole.

The insect twisted violently, opened its mouth, and spit out a strand of silver, sticking to the treasure elephant's face. Bao Xiang threw the insect away in fright, and quickly tore off the silk on his face with his hands, for fear that the silk would be poisoned. I didn't expect this silk to be very firm, and it took a long time to tear it off little by little.

Feeling his face carefully, there was no other reaction, and Baoxiang put his mind at ease, and in a fit of anger, he trampled the insect to pieces. Wu Yan picked up the silver filament that fell to the ground and pulled it gently, the silver filament was very flexible, and it didn't break. With a sudden movement in his heart, he stood up and rummaged through the surrounding grass.

As expected, similar bugs were found in the grass next to them, and they hid in their burrows in the ground at the first sound, and only looked out when the sound was quiet.

"You really want to eat these bugs." Bao Xiang asked a little strangely.

"You can fish." Wu Yan didn't look back, pouting his ass and digging around with a broken knife. The treasure elephant's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked down to look for it, and even the holly bird joined in.

The two searched for a long time before they found a dozen bugs, and the rest went into the belly of the hollybird. Back on the shore, Wu Gan asked Qiao Ban to make a fishing rod, and skillfully threaded the insects on the hook to catch fish by the lake.

Shortly after the bait, a whitebait bites. I don't know if the insects are too attractive to the fish or what the origin is, until the fish is dragged ashore, it still bites the hook. Seeing this, the others also became interested, and took turns holding the rods, and soon a pile of fish was piled up on the shore.

At this moment, the terrible scream of the holly bird was heard behind him, and I saw it running towards this side like crazy, looking behind it as it ran. When Wu Gan and Baoxiang returned, the greedy bird refused to leave, greedily looking for insects.

Wu Geng's heart froze, at this time, what could make the holly bird so afraid. Pulling out the broken knife, Wu Gen stepped forward to meet the hollybird. After running a dozen steps, I heard a strange sound from the bushes, as if countless silkworms were gnawing on leaves, and the rustling sound was endless.

The voice grew louder, sound

Like a tidal surge, the red bushes shivered and rose and fell. After a while, a little white appeared on the endless red waves. The white color increases rapidly, gradually masking the red.

Countless white insects emerged from the grass, densely turned, almost forming a low wall of insects. This situation made the scalps of everyone present a little numb. A bug is really small, but these countless bugs gathered together also have a surging and invincible momentum.

Everyone nervously picked up their weapons, formed a semicircle, and nervously looked at the insect tide behind the hollybird. With the lake behind and countless insects in front of them, they all felt that something was wrong. If something goes wrong, it's a demon, and these bugs will never come to deliver bait.

As if commanded, when they reached a distance of ten feet in front of everyone, these insects stopped brushing together.

An amazing scene began to appear, and these insects began to gather with each other, constantly adding and merging upwards.

In the end, a humanoid monster about five feet tall and white appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the monster was born with seven orifices, no different from ordinary people. It has six arms, each of which holds a weapon made of bone.

The giant pounded his chest with both hands and let out a deafening roar. The sound shook the sky, and the six people covered their ears in pain. But this voice seems to be able to reach the heart, and there is no way to avoid it.

One, two...... Finally, four giants appeared in front of everyone, followed by a steady stream of bugs.

The treasure elephant wiped a handful of blood from under his nose and looked at the strange giant in front of him in despair.
