Chapter 41: Something Gets Serious
As the weakest Jiang You in the temporary team, he enjoys everyone's care in all aspects with peace of mind.
Like now, He Qingge said to her softly-
"Jiang You, you sleep, we keep vigil, and we will call you when we are in danger."
So Jiang You slept peacefully.
The rest of the team kept her in the middle, so that even if there was danger, she would be the safest one.
This experience of sleeping in the wild seems to be the first time.
Lying on the ground, with the sky as the cover, there is a fresh evening breeze at night, accompanied by insects from time to time.
Following He Qingge, one of the heroines, Jiang You was full of security, and fell asleep after a while.
She was awakened by a very faint strange smell.
When I opened my eyes, it was still dark, the huge canopy of trees swaying in the sky, and the leaves had a shadowy dark color at night.
She came back to her senses, then unconsciously turned her head and looked around.
Meng Chengzi was lying under the tree, snoring not too heavy, and Wu Nian was lying behind him with a sword.
Ning Huan slept the most, with a layer of soft cushions under his body, and the brocade quilt covered on his body was also very silky.
Zheng Zhuren was awake and sat with He Qingge.
The two of them turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at Jiang You.
"Why did you wake up?" He Qingge asked softly, "Are you hungry?" I still have some food here. ”
"You just ate?"
Jiang You sat up and sniffled.
Now I smell it, but I can't smell it.
But Jiang You smelled that smell in his sleep, it was very light, but it was very special.
"No, Zheng Zhu woke up, we talked for a while, maybe it woke you up." He Qingge smiled apologetically.
"It's not the sound that wakes up, it's the smell that wakes up." Jiang You shook his head, "I smelled a very special smell just now, and I thought it was something you ate." ”
"Smell?"
He Qingge smiled and looked at Zheng Zhu.
Both of them looked a little solemn and puzzled.
"And now?" Zheng Zhu asked Jiang You.
"I don't smell it anymore." Jiang You sniffed again.
"I just woke up to relieve my hands, and when I came back, I stepped on a flowery eyeworm, and it was there, could it be the smell of it?" Zheng Zhu stretched out his hand and pointed towards the ground not far away.
And when Jiang You was sleeping on his side just now, it seemed that he was facing that direction!
"Eyeworms?"
Jiang You was a little puzzled.
This insect is almost the same as ants, and it is very common in the mountains and forests.
I don't think they smell bad.
However, the taste was still too special, Jiang You couldn't feel at ease in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still walked towards the position of Zheng Zhuzhi.
There was a bug on the soil that was trampled on and couldn't bear to look at it directly, probably just approaching, or maybe there was just a gust of wind blowing down, so it brought a very light strange atmosphere.
Indescribably sour, but with a hint of grass.
It's exactly the same as what Jiang You smelled in his dream!
The moment he saw it, Jiang You exclaimed, "This is the Burning Sun Flower Worm!" ”
With this shout, everyone in the team woke up.
"What's wrong, it's dangerous?"
Ning Huan woke up in a daze, and before his eyes were fully opened, he had already skillfully gotten up and received the quilt cushion into his mustard seed space.
Then he untied the fan around his waist and looked around.
After looking around, there was no abnormal finding, but the person was already awake.
"What is a sunflower bug? I haven't heard of it. Zheng Zhu frowned and walked over to take a closer look.
Everyone else leaned in.
has been trampled on, I can't see the specifics, I only know that this is a small insect with wings, and the color and pattern are similar to the flower eye insect, but the name Jiang You said is very unfamiliar.
"The scorching sun flower insect is a parasite on the scorching sun monkeys." Jiang You explained with a solemn expression, "Because of the strong fire attribute of the Burning Sun Monkey, some dirty things will be secreted on the body, and these dirty things also have fire attributes, so the Burning Sun Flower Insect came into being, and they will live in the cave of the Burning Sun Monkey, or lie on their body to clean up those dirty things for them." ”
"Sun Monkey?"
Ning Huan's face changed, and his heart chuckled fiercely, "Do you mean that this thing was sent by the Burning Sun Monkey?" ”
"Many hermit demon beasts don't have enough IQ and only know how to eat, but this is not the case with this scorching sun flower insects, they can communicate with the scorching sun monkeys, so it is very likely." Jiang You looked around, his eyes were guarded, and his hand was already clenched in the silver spike.
"How could a parasite that was supposed to be by the side of the Sun Monkey come to us?" Zheng Zhu frowned, "Either there are scorching sun monkeys nearby, or...... It was sent by the Sun Monkey to be a scout? ”
"Have you been through anything that has anything to do with you?" He Qingge saw the abnormality of Jiang You and Ning Huan.
Ning Huan nodded and told him about killing a little monkey with Jiang You.
"You actually killed the Sun Monkey cub?"
Zheng Zhu's face changed greatly.
"yes...... How do you react? Ning Huan was puzzled.
"About a year ago, the unruly people developed an elixir that needed to be guided by the monkey brains of the young monkeys, and during that time, almost all the Yang monkeys in the continent witnessed the tragic situation of the young cubs in the clan being taken captive, and some people even saw the monks digging monkey brains alive......"
Zheng Zhu's voice was tense, "After that time, the cub of the Burning Sun Monkey was almost dead, and the one you killed must be a newly-born young monkey in the clan...... There may only be one or two in a group. ”
Jiang You and Ning Huan were shocked when they heard this.
And what's going on?
Even the original owner has heard of the name of this unruly person, but what this person does is often a big thing, which is very controversial.
He is a Dan Master, but the elixirs he refines are always strange, and the way of refining is also very inhumane.
But because he has done too many strange things, there are too many to count, so gradually no one pays attention to him.
Do what you like, anyway, everyone has long been used to it.
They really hadn't heard of monkey brains.
Jiang You thought back to the memory of the golden-silver-footed snake, probably because it was not the same race, and the two had no intersection, so in its memory, it only knew that there were indeed not many young monkey cubs it had seen in the past year.
But it doesn't know exactly why it has become less.
Now Jiang You knows, but the matter is also serious.
The group of scorching monkeys had just experienced a robbery of their cubs a year ago, and after the incident, the mother monkey gave birth to her cubs in June, and it was only a long time before the cubs that were supposed to be protected by the eyeballs were gone!
If they are scorching monkeys, then after knowing this, they will definitely chase the murderer of the dead monkey at the ends of the world, just to show the evil spirit of being constantly bullied!
"Quick, let's run."
