Chapter 151: Stygian Flower Thousand-legged Worm
"It was one night." Mo Changhong motioned for Qiao Xiya to sit down, and he slowly began to speak, "Youping and I inspected the Baomei River, but unexpectedly, there was a sound of rustling in the river, Yuping thought that there was a female cadre planning to cross the river and sneak into the barracks, so he turned around to look, but was followed by an imitator. I panicked when I saw it, and without thinking too much, I swung my knife and slashed at the imitator, but I don't know why, the imitator slipped like a loach, hiding behind Yuhei, and couldn't cut it. In the chaos, the back of the knife actually hit Yuping's neck Yuhei fainted on the spot, as soon as he fell to the ground, the imitator did not move, I took advantage of the situation, split it in half, and the viscous liquid flowed to the ground, perhaps because of fear, I had only one idea at the time, that is, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so I threw the torch that Yuping fell on the side, and the fire was accompanied by a terrible scream and flew into the air, and then, there were also bursts of whimpering on the surface of the Baomei River, and there was only one thought in my heart at that time, that is, to run. I picked up Yuhei and ran back to the camp."
Lang Ah Lang,
When will you return to your hometown?
There is also a father and a mother in my hometown.
Lang Ah Lang,
When will you return to your hometown?
There are also pretty girls at home.
The day you left, the slave was in tears,
You said you would return to your hometown in three years.
Slave waiting for you for three years and three years,
Tears wet his face and clothes......
As soon as Mo Changhong's words landed, Qiao Xiya heard a fluttering, sad and complaining singing, which was also mixed with the chilling cry of a woman.
Qiao Xiya glared at Mo Haoning, who was leaning behind him, with frightened eyes, and looked out of the tent.
The song was like a millipede, slowly crawling up and down Qiao Xiyazhou's body.
"Smack!" Mo Haoning stepped forward, Qiao Xiya only felt a strong wind passing behind her, and then, Mo Haoning raised her foot and stepped on the ground, and with the sound of "quack", the singing in Qiao Xiya's ears stopped abruptly.
"Second brother, you have a lot of bugs here." Mo Haoning said, frowned, raised his feet, and glanced at a strange insect on the ground that was crushed by himself, feeling a little disgusted in his heart.
Bugger?! Qiao Xiya was shocked. She glanced at Mo Changhong, then at Mo Haoning, and seeing that the two of them looked calm, Qiao Xiya couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in her heart, she barely controlled her trembling voice, and said slowly, "Didn't you hear the singing just now?"
"What song?" Mo Haoning asked in surprise.
"A Woman's Singing ......"
"Nope." The two shook their heads and replied.
"So you turned around because you heard strange singing, not because you found a worm crawling behind you?" Mo Haoning suddenly realized.
"Lord Wang, what kind of worm is crawling on my back?" The look of fear on Qiao Xiya's face gradually became solemn.
"Don't look at it," Mo Haoning glanced at his shoes, and he was afraid that Qiao Xiya would be afraid, so he covered his feet again, "I'm afraid you'll be scared."
"Does this bug have a lot of legs?" Qiao Xiya asked.
"You see?" Mo Haoning was so shocked that he almost stared out his eyes.
Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly.
The strange appearance of the two attracted Mo Changhong's attention, he came to the two of them, and motioned for Mo Haoning to lift his feet, he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of insect Mo Haoning had trampled to death in his tent.
Mo Haoning let go of his feet, and a translucent long worm with countless slender legs appeared in front of him. I don't know if there is something wrong with the insects, or because they have been stepped on by Mo Haoning, Mo Changhong stared at it for a long time, but he couldn't tell which end was the head and which was the tail.
"What is this?" Mo Changhong felt a little disgusted. He had just come to the southwest border, and he knew that there were many insects in the southwest, but he had never seen this one in front of him. He looked up and asked Qiao Xiya, but saw that Qiao Xiya's face was white and her lips trembled slightly.
"Stygian Flower Thousand-legged Worm ......" Qiao Xiya couldn't believe her eyes, although the insects on the ground were crushed by Mo Haoning, the pattern on the translucent shell Qiao Xiya recognized it at a glance
It came out, and it was a pitch-black flower. Legend has it that this is a worm that lives in the Nai River, and lives by devouring the spirits of the undead in the Nai River. Thinking of this, Qiao Xiya rushed out of the tent like crazy, looking around nervously, until she saw that there were busy soldiers all around, and Qiao Xiya calmed down a little.
"Xiya, what's wrong?" Mo Haoning chased after him and supported Qiao Xiya, who was a little shaky from behind.
"Why ......" Qiao Xiya turned her head and looked at Mo Haoning, her eyes were full of fear, "Why is it that you are still alive, but you have encountered a bug that should have lived in the underworld......
"Is that a worm of the underworld?" Mo Haoning only felt a chill in his back.
"If the prince doesn't believe it, then go back with me and see if the worm has turned into a mess of water." Qiao Xiya trembled, and her silver teeth gurgled.
The two returned to the tent and met Mo Changhong's frightened gaze: "It's ...... It's gone!"
With Mo Changhong's exclamation, the two looked down and saw that the insect had already turned into a pool of water, and only the shell as thin as a cicada's wings remained on the ground, like a broken black dark flower blooming alone on the ground.
"Miss Qiao, what the hell is this?" Mo Changhong's brows twisted into pimples. Even though he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he is still afraid of real killings, like this strange thing that cannot be seen or touched, and floats around him.
"Stygian Millipede." Qiao Xiya couldn't help but snort, "According to legend, this is a kind of insect that lives in the Nai River, because the patterns on the back and feet are exactly the shape of a dark flower, and it has many feet, so it is called the Stygian Flower Thousand-legged Worm. It lives by devouring the spirits of the dead in the Nai River, and when it dies, it will turn into a pool of clear water, return to the underworld along the dirt, land on the flower of the underworld, and come back to life from the dead."
"General, oh no, there are a lot of weird bugs out there!" Just as Mo Changhong digested Qiao Xiya's explanation, the sound of the soldier colonel trembling came from outside the tent.
Qiao Xiya hurriedly rushed out of the tent with the corner of her skirt, and looked in the direction of Xiao Xiaoxiao's finger, only to see that not far away, the overwhelming black was surging like a tide, and if you looked closely, it was tens of thousands of Stygian Flower Thousand-legged Worms.
"Quick, pour the oil into the ditch!" Qiao Xiya shouted loudly.
The soldiers on the side came back to their senses, threw down the tools in their hands, turned around to get the oil, buckets of oil were splashed, Yuping took out the firewood for cooking tea, and threw it into the freshly dug ditch, "Whew~" There was a sound, the fire was soaring, and the insects that had poured into the ditch and were ready to pounce on everyone crackled.
At this moment, Qiao Xiya faintly saw through the firelight a black shadow standing two people high and three people wide on the opposite side of the fire wall.
