Chapter 40: Clue: Water
After being brought over, the two puppets struggled with themselves. It can be seen that the three corpse insects can indeed squeeze out all the potential of people, and it has been an hour since everyone entered the city, and they still have the strength.
But the soldiers guarding them were not iron, so they simply tied their legs so that they had time to take a nap.
So the two were brought in and placed on the floor. They slumped and trembled.
The runic cloak in the outer cover ensures that the three corpse insects are trapped in the body and cannot go out.
Situ Hanqi said: "Is this cold, or is it afraid?" ”
"I'm scared. Does the guy parasitized by the three corpse worms know about the cold? He Lingchuan squatted down and looked at them carefully, "But it's not us that they're afraid of." ”
These two eyes have no focus, and obviously don't pay attention to everyone at all.
But the huge Coiling Dragon Ruins are empty, what are they afraid of?
Nian Songyu also said: "Don't say that there is no one, and there are no three corpse insects in this abandoned city." They don't dare to approach at all, why? ”
"There's something that scares them." Sun Fuping stood up, "No matter what it is, it should be similar to our goal." ”
He Lingchuan said strangely: "Do you want them to say it in person?" Can the three corpse insects still speak? ”
It seems that Sun Fuping brought these two puppets with him because he planned to do an experiment and give it a try.
"Ordinary ones can't work, I don't know if the output of the generous pot can give us a hint." Sun Fuping walked up to the puppet and said, "Your lair Dafang pot must still be in the city." Show me a spot, and I'll let you go. ”
The two puppets continued to tremble, continuing to look at no one as if he were transparent.
"These two things don't take you seriously!" He Lingchuan was furious, "You give them some color to see, save time." ”
Sun Fuping took out a set of golden needles from his arms, put them on the medicine burn, and simmered them with a little real fire ignited by his fingertips, before they were pierced into the back of the puppet's skull, heart, and feet.
The puppet suddenly wailed loudly.
These three places are the places where the three corpse insects are entrenched, and Sun Fuping burned them directly on their butts with medicinal fire, which is painful. Otherwise, the sword and axe will only hurt the host, and the three corpse insects will not matter at all.
They were going to look at Sun Fuping squarely, but their eyes were extremely fierce, like wolves staring at meat.
To them, humans are just skins.
"I know you can understand people." Sun Fuping's voice was calm, "If you don't give an answer, you will have to suffer more." ”
And then he did it.
His golden needle is hollow, so it is easy to refill the medicine at any time.
Everyone saw that the red flame at the end of the needle was brighter, and the puppet's scream suddenly rose three degrees.
Double the dose, double the pain.
Sun Fuping stopped and asked, "Do you want to say it?" ”
The puppet just screamed.
So he added to his sentence.
So again and again.
The further back he goes, the slower he starts. This enhanced version of the Three Corpse Worms, the soul body is more than one step stronger than ordinary of the same kind, otherwise it would have been drugged to death by him a quarter of an hour ago.
If the host does not cut it off by itself, the host will burp as soon as the three corpse worms die.
So it's getting harder and harder to get the right balance.
Finally, one of the puppets roared, his neck crooked, and he died.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work? Sun Fuping let out a long sigh.
There should always be something special about the three corpse insects raised by the Dafang pot, if they can communicate with people, this trip to Panlong City will be much smoother.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no shortcut to this task.
In fact, he only had a faint hope in his heart, after all, the coalition forces that fought a war of attrition in this wasteland more than a hundred years ago probably tried all kinds of means in order to obtain intelligence.
He just thinks that time may change a lot of things.
On the other hand, the tortured three corpse insects broke out wildly, and they actually broke free from the confinement and grabbed He Lingchuan's arm!
Caught off guard, everyone was taken aback.
He Chunhua rushed forward without thinking and cut off the puppet's head with a knife.
The screaming came to an abrupt end.
"Is Chuan'er okay?" He Chunhua's hand grasping the knife did not let go.
He Lingchuan was also startled, and subconsciously broke the dead man's hand away, and felt it with his heart before saying, "I'm fine." ”
He was clutching the thing so tightly that his fingers were almost sinking into his skin.
Fortunately, he walked for a week with all his strength, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
Everyone looked at each other.
Sun Fuping stepped forward, inspected the pupils of his eyes, and asked, "Do you feel irritable, bored, dizzy, and dizzy?" ”
"Very sober, no anomalous, it doesn't seem to have any effect on me."
Sun Fuping nodded: "The effect of Du Soul Scattering has not completely passed, and it also has the power to resist. ”
He Lingchuan sighed: "It seems that the three corpse insects here are nothing special. ”
Seeing that he was really fine, He Chunhua relieved his heart: "It's just that he refuses to leave the Panlong Desert, or rather, he refuses to stay away from the Dafang Pot." ”
The principle of defending the Dafang pot has long been engraved into the instinct of the three corpse insects, and they cannot betray until they die. The same loyalty also exists in ant colonies and hives, and the individual worker bees and worker ants work hard and complain, without any fear of hardship, and even die without regret.
Therefore, although the three corpse insects were afraid of something here and did not dare to enter the city, they still lingered on the periphery, that is, the Panlong Desert, and refused to flee far.
He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders, if the three corpse insects could be tortured to extract confessions like ordinary creatures, the information of Dafang Hu and Panlong City had already been detected by the Baling Immortal Alliance, and the gods behind Panlong City would not tolerate the existence of such loopholes.
"Although I don't want to say it, in my opinion, the conditions for triggering the sand season should not be difficult. He sent the last team, also with a verifying attitude......" Sun Fuping muttered, "Every time before the sand season, is the desert full of thunderstorms? ”
Zeng Feixiong nodded: "Yes." ”
Sun Fuping's eyes moved slightly: "The temple in the city is only dedicated to the god of Mitian?" ”
"Yes. It is said that the god of heaven is the only religion in Panlong City. ”
He Chunhua sighed, as if he had an understanding: "Didn't you mean it?" ”
"Write it down and corroborate each other."
So Sun Fuping and He Chunhua both raised their hands to dip their hands in water and wrote a word on the table.
Everyone saw that the national teacher wrote the word "water", while He Chunhua wrote the word "rain".
It's pretty much the same literally.
He Lingchuan stroked his chin and said, "The national teacher and the father are wise!" The rainy season in Chimatsu is later than inland, and it doesn't come until the end of August or early September. ”
Nian Songyu was puzzled: "If it is said to be caused by rain, doesn't it usually rain in the desert?" As far as he knows, a lack of water in the desert does not mean that there is no rain, "and sometimes torrential rains cause flooding in the desert." ”
"Not really." He Lingchuan smiled, "Don't compare other deserts with coiling dragons, they don't deserve it." ”
He Chunhua said: "How can I have the erudition of a national teacher? However, Deputy Lieutenant Zeng's father was the only living person who had experienced the wild sand season in the Panlong Desert, and although he was delirious after he returned, he chanted the word 'water' in his mouth all day long. That's the key clue, I think. ”
