Chapter 18: The Heel Beast
Chen Yu, who was in the distance, heard the princess shouting at the heel beast, and suddenly Chen Yu's brows furrowed, and he secretly said that it was not good in his heart.
Others may not even know how terrible the heel beast is, and it doesn't sound like a particularly ferocious beast by the name, but only those who really know the horror of this creature will understand how desperate it is to encounter such a terrible creature in the wild!
Of course, Ning Ning also heard the heel beast, but Ning Ning didn't know what was strange about this heel beast, it could make the princess of a dignified country be frightened in public! Even Ning Ning jokingly asked questions like whether a creature like Chen Yu was cute. But Ning Ning noticed Chen Yu's frowning brows, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
Ning Ning asked word by word: "Chen Yu, is this animal terrifying?" β
Chen Yu shook his head and did not answer Ning Ning's question, Ning Ning saw Chen Yu shaking his head, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, recovered his mood a little, and asked, "It's not terrible!" Then why was Her Royal Highness the princess scared like that? Why are you frowning? β
Chen Yu shook his head again and said slowly, "No...... It's not really scary, a two-heel beast can still be handled, but heels are always together! It's scary here! β
"What's that? It's a big deal to burn them all in one fire! Ning Ning snorted disdainfully
"Do you know the size of the heel?" Chen Yu suddenly asked seriously
This time it was Ning Ning's turn to shake her head, she told Chen Yu that she had never heard of this creature at all, and how did she know its size.
"Heel Beast, whose real name is Differentiated Marrow Sucking Beast!"
"As the name suggests, the differentiation of the myeliac beast is to burrow into the body of a human or animal, continuously absorb the bone marrow and energy of the host, and then differentiate, one life two, two to four, four to eight...... Until the bone marrow and energy in the entire host body are 'eaten' away! β
Ning Ning's face instantly turned pale after hearing this, and she unconsciously approached Chen Yu.
Chen Yu paused after speaking, and waited for Ning Ning to accept the previous information before continuing: "And a differentiated myeloid beast is only the size of an aphid, and if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all!" β
"What's more, the Differentiated Myeloid Sucker has extremely sharp mouthparts and can easily cut through shoes and socks, not to mention the skin of a human or animal!"
"Ahh Ning Ning screamed, but her voice didn't have much impact in the noisy crowd, and no one even paid attention to it.
Chen Yu gently comforted Ning Ning with his hand, but still continued: "The Differentiated Myeloid Sucking Beast likes to be cold and cold, so there are generally such creatures in the cold and damp woods!" β
Ning Ning said very nervously: "If this is the place where the Differentiated Myeloid Sucker exists, then there should be no creatures here that will survive soon!" β
"But this place has just stepped out of the territory of the Bai Guan clan, and this place is not far from Bai Guan, why can Bai Guan still exist without the influence of this kind of animal?"
Chen Yu said two words: "Perhaps...", and then Chen Yu was silent. Ning Ning also didn't continue to ask
At the same time, the princess also explained to everyone the origin of the differentiated myeloid beast, and everyone felt a chill, and some people even took off their shoes and socks to carefully check whether the soles of their feet were gnawed.
The princess muttered to herself, "I never thought this was a good place, but I didn't expect that this place was a hundred times more dangerous than I thought!" β
"We've only just entered the woods and encountered this creature, so what's waiting for us further down......"
As she spoke, the princess of the empty country even lowered her head! Because it's an unbearable feeling!
Dangerous things are always unknown! Once you know the unknown, you can solve the danger! And it is human nature to be afraid of the unknown...
But when you really encounter the unknown and you have to do it, don't be afraid! No one can be born with everything.
Shennong's family risked his life to taste all the herbs and write the famous "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra",
Aren't these seniors afraid? And they choose to face danger head-on, not afraid of hardship!
They succeeded because they had a heart that was not afraid of difficulties!
And Chen Yu also said this to Ning Ning, Ning Ning had not heard similar truths before, but she didn't understand it at all. But it was only when she was really in danger that she understood this truth.
At this time, the princess raised her head and looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, who has the ghost song grass in their hands now?" β
Ghost grass is a common herb, its leaves are like grimaces, there are many pores on the stem, and it can make a sound when blown by the wind, so it is named ghost grass.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the princess suddenly asked if there was any herb that was the most common and had no practical effect, but everyone didn't ask much, and asked if others had brought ghost grass.
Of course, Chen Yu and the others also heard the princess's question, Ning Ning had never been in contact with herbs, so Ning Ning asked Chen Yu with a puzzled look on his face what the ghost song grass was.
Chen Yu frowned, and explained the origin of the ghost song grass to Ning Ning, and Ning Ning was stunned when she heard it.
"But why is Her Highness the Princess looking for this herb?"
"This herb is useless for humans, but it can quickly fatten cattle and sheep and other livestock!"
"Even a few grasses can turn a piglet into hundreds of catties!"
"Ah, it's good that it's useless to people, otherwise you'll gain dozens of pounds if you eat a few by mistake..."Ning Ning patted her chest and said fearfully
Ning Ning's focus is very peculiar, at this moment, as a woman, the fear of gaining weight suppresses the fear of the heel beast...
And Chen Yu was still frowning, because no one would carry the Ghost Song Grass with him! And the ghost grass is the best medicine to deal with the heel beast!
Some people may say, since this ghost grass is so common, can't you find it by looking for it in the woods? As for frowning here, don't you loosen your face? It's really true, because although the ghost grass is very common, most of the common places are located in mass graves or deep canyons! Only in these places where the yin qi is heavy is it easy to breed such a plant as the ghost grass!
And the last thing that is lacking in this kind of world every day is killing, so there are many places full of yin qi and death qi, and slowly the ghost song grass will open up!
"Got it?" Chen Yu asked Ning Ning
Ning Ning nodded and said to Chen Yu, "Chen Yu, how do you know so much?" I haven't heard that you love to learn so much, have you? β
Chen Yu scratched his head, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't tell Ning Ning that he was reincarnated. After thinking about it, he replied, "I'm not interested in the knowledge in those textbooks, only in alternative and bizarre books." β
"So that's why you usually sleep in class?" Ning Ning asked teasingly
"That's right! Right! Chen Yu hurriedly affirmed. Moreover, I generally like to stay up late at night to watch, and I see that I go at three or four o'clock in the morning! β
Ning Ning glanced at Chen Yu, and didn't believe Chen Yu's lies, but she didn't keep dwelling on this issue, but instead looked at the princess, wanting to know if anyone in the team could take out the ghost song grass. But alas, no one can take out the most common and useless grass!
So, the whole team is in chaos!
Chen Yu's team of 100 people has not undergone any training, and they have no clue about how to deal with dangerous things, plus they continue to encounter dangers, and they have lost nearly a quarter of the people after only walking a third of the way, which makes everyone's mood fall to the bottom all of a sudden.
The princess on the side sighed and muttered, "The method of cracking the heel beast recorded in the history books should be a method in addition to feeding it with ghost grass!" β
"But why can't I remember?" As she spoke, the princess knocked her head hard.
Ning Ning turned her head to look at Chen Yu, and found that Chen Yu was standing with his eyes closed! Ning Ning said to Chen Yu angrily: "Chen Yu, we are all about to be sucked dry, do you still have the leisure to nap here?" β
Chen Yu interrupted Ning Ning without waiting for her to finish speaking, and then said to Ning Ning, "Why worry? β
"Aren't you worried about your safety at all?"
"Worried? Nothing to worry about! The mountain people have their own tricks! Chen Yu said confidently
And Chen Yu's words were heard by a monk passing by, he looked at Chen Yu, showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and then shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, this kid here said that he has a way to deal with the heel beast!" β
He even used energy to act as a megaphone, and the sound immediately drowned out the chaotic sound of the scene, and the field suddenly fell silent. Then there was an explosion of even louder voices.
"Huh??"
"Where? Who?? β
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the passer-by, and they saw two people in strange clothes standing at the back, and even the man had his eyes closed! It's just that judging from the physiognomy, this man and woman are definitely not more than 18 years old!
"Humph!!"
A middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Joke, you said that a milky little hairy child can know how to solve the problem of losing his heel?" β
ββ¦β¦βγ
And there were not a few people who thought like this, which made the passer-by very embarrassed, but there was a glimmer of hope in the princess's eyes, and she knew very well the strength of the little manβthat was what the general told her! And she hadn't seen the two of them much along the way, so when passers-by pointed to Chen Yu and the others, the princess remembered that there were people like Chen Yu, and she would have a hint of hope.
The princess immediately walked towards Chen Yu, and Chen Yu opened his eyes to look at the passer-by, and asked word by word, "You... Not dead yet? β
