Chapter 140: Flat Hook
"Don't worry, with me, your safety is guaranteed! Besides, only when I am alive can you have hope of confronting Lu Yao. ”
He Lingchuan immediately pricked up his ears: "Oh, how do you say it?" ”
"I was taken away by the crocodile god, which led to the rout of the tribe, and Lu Yao took the opportunity to accept people." His own life and death were tied to the young man in front of him, Wu Shaoyi cheered up and lobbied, "I live, so they will not be used by Lu Yao." ”
"And Pei Xinyong, I can convince him to deal with Lu Yao together."
He Lingchuan no longer hesitated when he heard this: "Okay, what should I do?" ”
Next, he followed Wu Shaoyi's instructions and took out a turtle bead to wash it.
Don't look at the amazing size of the giant tortoise, in fact, the turtle bead is only the size of an egg, or a small egg. After the blood stain on the surface is washed away, it glows with a silver white light with a touch of light blue, which is crystal clear and soft.
Isn't this more upgrade than any night pearl?
And the turtle beads also have other wonderful uses, such as when he tried to hold one in his mouth, he could breathe freely underwater.
He Lingchuan looked at it and sighed, secretly said a few pity, and then found a wooden coffin and crushed it into powder with a few clicks.
There is a special need to smash beads to extract powder, and iron tools cannot be used.
Then he went to find rootless water.
Rootless water is rain that has not landed. This is easy to do, it has just rained recently, and the rain tank under the eaves of any house is half full.
He took a piece of yellow paper from Wu Shaoyi and burned it to ashes and soaked it in a small half cup of rootless water.
Then, pour in the turtle bead powder and stir until completely dissolved.
Strangely, the rune water is red at this time. He Lingchuan didn't know if it was the effect of cinnabar.
To do this, he had to go out into the wild and catch a grasshopper.
Wu Shaoyi specially explained that if you want a mother, your belly can't be too big.
This is even more difficult for He Lingchuan, who lived in the countryside when he was a child, and there were not 1,000 but 800 grasshoppers. What's more, the wheat has just been harvested in Xianling Village, and now it is these little pests that are jumping the happiest in the fields.
Time was pressing, and Sable went out to help.
It has nimble skills, sharper eyes, and a lower chassis, so it can catch grasshoppers much faster than He Lingchuan.
It didn't take long for them to catch a fat and strong flat hook, and when they turned it over, they saw that they had a big belly.
In autumn, the children in the belly of the female worm are ripe, and they must prepare to find a place to lay eggs.
The stomach was too big to meet the requirements, threw it away, and found it again.
After looking for seventeen or eighteen in a row, He Lingchuan finally got a compliant one.
Healthy and energetic, the lower abdomen is only slightly bulging.
He Lingchuan threw the green worm into the water cup and closed the lid and buttoned it. The two of them had six eyes, and they didn't keep an eye on them for a moment.
The flat hook fell into the rune water and instinctively struggled a few times, but after pouring a sip of rune water, he was stunned and actually stood still.
At the same time, the water level in the cup began to drop.
Apparently, it was gulping down water.
The strange thing is that the volume of water in the cup is at least two or three times that of the flat hook, but in the end it is drunk clean.
Wu Shaoyi saw this and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's mostly done." ”
He Lingchuan glanced at him: "Otherwise? ”
"There is only one rune paper, and it is obtained from the Holy Master." Hong Xiangqian died, and he couldn't reproduce this secret technique.
He Lingchuan listened, but he was more interested in Hong Xiangqian. The rebels called him the Holy Master, and they were happy and convinced of him, even the murderous Lu Yao was no exception, and even the crocodile god from the northern demon country was willing to use it for him.
This person is also proficient in magic runes, which makes He Lingchuan immediately think of Sun Fuping and Sun Guoshi.
It's not easy.
The hook was not strangled to death, and after drinking the water, it entered a static state, only occasionally lifting its forelimbs to wash its face and beard. But its color changed, from grass green to blood red, and irregular black spots grew all over its body.
At the same time, its belly is getting more and more bulging, it looks like a balloon that has been blown up, and its skin is getting thinner and thinner. At the same time, the abdomen became more and more transparent, and the two of them could even see the tiny eggs inside growing larger and fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, it is they who prop up the mother's belly.
Just when it was round to an exaggerated extent, and He Lingchuan suspected that it was about to explode in the next second, the belly of the flat hook finally stopped growing.
It stands to reason that grasshoppers lay their egg sheaths in the soil, and after a while, the egg sheaths hatch into larvae.
But this mother worm had no intention of giving birth, and those strange eggs hatched directly into larvae in her abdomen!
The larvae of grasshoppers are called hoppers, and they do not look much different from their mothers except that they have no wings and are small.
As soon as they crawled out of their egg shells, they rushed to their siblings and tore and bit with their mouthparts, which had been perfect since birth, and the wolves who had been hungry for three days were not as greedy as them.
He Lingchuan felt a chill in his back.
Grasshoppers have always fed on plant leaves and young stems, and are strict vegetarians, but after the mother worm drinks the water, the larvae in the belly suddenly change sex, not only eating meat, but also cannibalism.
Soon, the number of larvae in the mother's belly decreases rapidly.
After the weak ones have been eaten, it is the turn of the strong to devour each other.
He Lingchuan muttered, "Isn't this just raising Gu? ”
Through brutal competition, all the young individuals get nutrients, and in the end, only one owns.
In terms of human society, this kind of behavior has a higher term, which is called a zero-sum game.
The larvae fought to the death very quickly, killing each other before he was in a trance, and the last two hoppers were also decided.
After eating the loser, the biggest hopper becomes the winner.
It has grown in size again, and its epidermis is red and black, almost identical to that of the female.
During this period, the mother worm is still stationary and does not roll on the ground in pain due to the intensity of the abdomen. He Lingchuan even saw a hint of love in its hideous and strange face.
After the young worms have digested their kind, they no longer move.
"The essence of the mother body has been transferred to it. If we leave it alone, it will grow wings and burst out of its belly after two hours. After waiting for so long, Wu Shaoyi's condition was even worse, Yin Tang was already a cloud of black gas, and his eyes were a little sloppy.
"Now, dig it out!" Wu Shaoyi turned his head to Sable and said, "It's okay, go and get all the people back, the more the better." ”
The sable jumped off the kang and its slender figure disappeared outside the door.
He Lingchuan poured out the flat hook, took off the belly, and smashed the mother worm according to Wu Shaoyi's instructions, and then stuffed it into the captive's mouth.
The mountain bandit had woken up and shouted, "I'm innocent, don't harm me!" ”
"Are you innocent?" He Lingchuan smiled, "Then how did the blood stains on your trouser legs come from, isn't it a woman dressed as a man?" ”
The mountain bandit was stunned: "This, this, I'll just help move the corpse......"
He Lingchuan didn't bother to listen to his arguments, and slapped an elbow on his diaphragm, beating the man forward, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.
