Chapter 143: Strange Nematodes
I sighed, and that was the crux of the matter.
We can only communicate in one direction, but there is no way to effectively get concrete information from them.
I had no choice but to pull Cui Hao aside and shout at the other end of the wall at the same time.
"Let's discuss it first and see how we can ask questions effectively, you guys wait."
Soon there was a soft sound from the other side.
The two of us immediately crouched down against the wall, cautiously discussing how to ask questions.
I took a closer look at my surroundings and set my sights on the most critical points.
"Cui Hao, since they can't answer specific questions, then can we give them four options just like doing multiple-choice questions. If you choose the first option, then knock on the wall, and if you choose the fourth option, knock on it four times. ”
I tapped to the golden jade tree next to us, and at the same time tapped to the side of our wall.
"Now, I think there's one point here that is the most suspicious. One is the golden tree, the other is the wall behind us, and the ceiling and the ground above us. ”
After Cui Hao listened to my words, he immediately understood what I meant.
He nodded, quickly walked to the wall, and shouted against the wall.
"We wanted to figure out how we could get out of this place, whether it was the ceiling above our heads, the floor under our feet, the wall, or the golden silk trees on the side edges. If it's the ceiling overhead, you knock it once, and so on, and if it's a golden silk tree, you knock it four times. ”
After Cui Hao finished shouting, the two of them didn't dare to breathe, and stood cautiously on the edge of the wall, waiting for an answer from the other side.
After a while, there was a clear sound of four bangs on the wall.
I immediately looked back at the golden jade tree next to me, and it seemed that the problem was in this gem tree.
It's just that I walked around the tree, but I never saw where the key point was.
Cui Hao was also simply, he simply jumped up, grabbed the trunk of the tree and climbed the golden silk thread upward.
Then he crouched in the canopy, still checking the condition on the top of the tree.
I tilted my head down and helped him watch the wind.
This was suddenly, Cui Hao exclaimed, and his body shook and fell from the tree.
Luckily, I was under the tree, so I just pulled him along.
Cui Hao almost didn't break my arm, but luckily I held on.
I hurriedly dragged Cui Hao, stared vigilantly at the crown of the golden silk jade tree, and asked him what was on this tree?
"What the hell scared you like this?"
Just as I was finishing my sentence, I heard a rustling sound from the top of the canopy.
In the next second, a squeaky scream rang out.
Before I could react, I felt something jerk on my back, and then it went down the collar of my coat and into my robe.
"What's that?"
I quickly reached out to grab it, but there was a sharp pain in my back.
It was as if something had bitten my back.
Immediately, blood poured out.
Soon, however, I heard another loud squeak from my back, like a groan and howl of extreme pain.
Immediately afterward, something rolled out of my clothes.
A round thing was rolling on the ground, and his body was stained with blood spurting from my wounds.
Cui Hao rushed over in a few arrow steps, quickly stretched the vines, tied up the thing, and forcibly pressed it to the ground.
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that my back is extremely itchy, especially the wound bitten by this thing, which is even more painful.
If I had known, I should have put my helmet on.
I hurriedly pulled the protective suit off, then exposed my back, and turned to Cui Hao.
"You help me see if I have been bitten by this thing on my back, it's itchy and painful, I can't bear it anymore."
If it weren't for the fact that the angle of this thing's bite was so tricky that I couldn't reach out and grab it, I might have scratched all the wounds myself.
Cui Hao turned his head to look at my back, and he suddenly exclaimed and grabbed my arm suddenly.
"Little prince, don't scratch your back no matter what, you must listen to me."
With that, he removed his backpack, took out the medicine box and tweezers, and asked me to crouch down.
I don't know why, but I still honestly squatted on the ground according to what Cui Hao said.
He picked up the tweezers, took another vial, poured the powder into the medicine box, and then picked up the vial, along with the tweezers, and began to pound on my back.
A tearing pain came from my back, and I could barely hold back my moans.
Cui Hao never stopped, still slowly playing something on my back.
It wasn't until nearly a dozen minutes had passed that he stopped.
Cui Hao breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground limp, sweating profusely.
When I turned my head to look at him, he had such an expression on his face.
I hurriedly helped Cui Hao up and looked at the small bottle in his hand in surprise.
At this time, Cui Hao had already closed the lid of the bottle, the bottle was opaque, and I couldn't see the contents clearly.
Seeing me staring at the bottle with a shocked face, Cui Hao sighed lightly and stuffed the bottle into my hand.
"You can take a look at it and twist it back at once, I have to keep it shut so that it doesn't come out and hurt anyone else."
I nodded, took the bottle in my hand, and quickly twisted the lid open to check its contents.
It was just that the moment I twisted the lid, I almost didn't throw up.
Because there are a few finger-length small insects crawling inside this bottle.
The worm was probably not much thicker than a needle and thread, and the tiny worms were like thin black threads and like a handful of hair, constantly entwined and coiled inside the bottle.
If it weren't for the fact that these insects were still active, I would have thought that Cui Hao had stuffed a handful of hair in it.
I immediately twisted the lid of the bottle back and looked at Cui Hao in surprise.
"What the hell is this?"
Cui Hao tapped my back.
"The thing that was taken out of your back, the one that just fell on your back, should have pushed these parasites into your body at the same time as it bit you."
Cui Hao looked at me in surprise.
"But these bugs don't know what's going on, and they don't seem to be able to get into your flesh and blood vessels, so they've been wandering around the surface, so I've been caught."
He nodded again at the pitch-black thing on the ground that was tightly wrapped around his vines.
It was about the size of half a basketball, bulging like a hemispherical shape, with all sorts of tentacles growing on it.
Other than that, this thing has no eyes on its body, so it is impossible to see how this thing determines its direction.
It's just that I can clearly see that in the middle of his tentacles, there is a large mouthpiece standing clearly.
And there are a few shredded meat hanging on it, presumably this thing just bit me.
At this point, the thing was still rolling on the ground, but it was restrained by vines, so the tendency to roll was not too obvious.
Cui Hao stared at the strange insect suspiciously.
I don't know if it's an insect or not, it has a strange appearance, and it's completely different from a mammal.
There wasn't even a single hair on his body.
But it didn't have any eyes, unlike any bug I knew, and neither of us knew how to define it.
Cui Hao took a few closer glances at the insect, and suddenly grabbed my arm.
"Little prince, next you go up the tree. I'll wait for you below, and I'll take care of the wind for you. I kind of know why these things can't get close to you. ”
I glanced at Cui Hao suspiciously, I didn't think I had anything special.
Cui Hao was stained with a drop of my blood dripping from the ground.
"Of course, it's because your blood is different, it should still be the same as Li Zhuang said, the so-called king has made a mark in your blood, so these things don't dare to approach you at all. Anyone who wants to eat or suck your blood will end up like this. ”
Cui Hao manipulated the vine to lift the insect up, and the insect was still struggling, only to make an extremely sharp cry.
Cui Hao turned a deaf ear, but slowly broke the tentacles of the insect with those vines, and broke his mouthparts, pointing to one of them and said to me.
"You see, there's a sign of corrosion here. And I found that everywhere on his body that was stained with your blood seemed to have been corroded by sulfuric acid, leaving traces of his flesh being corroded. So I suspect that it's probably your blood problem, which is why these bugs can't get into your body to parasitize, and this bug is so badly damaged. ”
Cui Hao pointed to the top of the canopy.
"I don't know if someone has set up these defensive bugs here, so the canopy of this tree seems to be calm, but there are a few such bugs guarding in the depths. I was also taken aback by these things just now, so I jumped off. It's just that I didn't expect to bring one down like this. It's just that looking at it now, these bugs should be scared of you, so you go up and check, it's more appropriate than I should be. ”
Hearing that there were a few more such insects on this golden silk jade tree, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
I looked at the top of the canopy and had only one thought in my mind, which was to never go up.
If this climbs up, then what's the point?
It's just that in the face of my refusal, Cui Hao is quite persistent.
"Go, little prince. Judging by your situation, these things don't dare to hurt your body, and only if you find a way out, the two of us can escape from here. ”
