Chapter Seventy-Five: The Sakya Worm
A figure burst out, trembling almost madly, and in a hurry, he broke through the three of them and almost fled.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, come back to me!" Zhang Sanyi stopped the ragged figure, only to find that it was a dirty middle-aged man, his eyes were full of fear and defense:
"If you don't leave, they'll catch up!"
The middle-aged man didn't know where he got the strength, broke free from Zhang San's shackles, and quickly disappeared into the bushes.
"He alone doesn't know what he's talking about, really. ”
"You idiot!
Gu Dawei subconsciously picked up Shan Chanyu and followed Zhang San all the way to escape, the three of them stared at the middle-aged man, and after running for an hour, the middle-aged man jumped into a swamp.
"Wow, this stinks, no wonder that middle-aged man smells all over his body. Boss, are we really going to jump in?"
Zhang San'er didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, a miniature version of the turtle happened to wrap around the three of them and sneaked into the swamp. ”
In less than three minutes, the sound of high-frequency vibration of wings could be clearly heard in mid-air, and through the water, a dense group of insects could be seen flying by, and they did not stop.
"What the hell is this?"
"They are the adult form of the Sakya worm. The middle-aged man surfaced on the swamp and said tiredly, ignoring the stench he emitted.
"But isn't the Sakya worm a parasite?"
"Who told you that? The shakya worm is divided into larvae and adults, and the larvae will slowly grow up after more than a week of birth, and if they parasitize mammals within a week, they will remain in the form of larvae, and eventually grow into a black mass with a lot of hair.
Adults, on the other hand, are responsible for laying eggs, hatching and searching for parasites. They have a rudimentary social form, a clear division of labor and absolute obedience to the king of the hive. ”
"Yo, I'm awake again. ”
"I apologize to you for my previous actions, and every month when 'it' shines my other personality comes out. The middle-aged man was not surprised by the turtle controlled by Zhang San, but quickly went ashore: "Come with me, let's go back to the camp in advance, it's too dangerous outside." ”
The three of them followed the middle-aged man through a bush and finally came to a cave: "This was originally a brown bear's cave, but unfortunately it was also parasitized by the larvae of Shakya. So I gave a little makeover, and planted this very strong-smelling flower all around to cover up my traces. ”
"Do bugs have a sense of smell?"
"It's not because of the adult worms, but because the larvae will greatly strengthen the respiratory system after parasitism, causing their sense of smell to smell all kinds of smells within a radius of one kilometer like dogs. ”
"According to you, there shouldn't be any creatures here that can parasitize the larvae of Shakya, right?
"The day before yesterday, for some unknown reason, dozens of people fell from the sky, and they also have all kinds of cool moves like you, but unfortunately they were also parasitized for various reasons. ”
"Do you absorb dozens of cultivators every day? Ordinary secret realms simply don't have this kind of scattered absorption of cultivators. ”
"If it's so dangerous here, why don't you get out of here?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of tiredness, and he smiled: "Do you have a big cigarette? I haven't smoked it for nearly ten years." Shan Chanyu silently took out the lion and handed it to him.
"There are still cigarettes, I can't see that you three people in fancy clothes are so rich that you can get such high-end goods. The middle-aged man skillfully took out a dot and took a deep sip, not spitting it out, but swallowing it all:
"I forgot to introduce me, I forgot what my name was after not talking to anyone for so long. You can just call me grandson. ”
Zhang San pointed at them: "My name is Zhang San, he is Li Si, and next to me is Wang Wu." ”
"There is no way out here, I have never given up looking for an exit in the past ten years, during which I found 80% of the corpses belonging to the same expedition as me, and only two of them were not found, and after continuous exploration, I finally determined that the exit was in the ecstasy. ”
"Didn't you say there was no mouth?"
"Do you know, the Ecstasy Array is in the center of this ghost place, there is the nest of the Shakya worm on the left, the hatching ground below, and there is a line of cliffs above, and a large number of spiders live on the top of the first line of cliffs.
Once someone tries to enter the Ecstasy Array, they will be triggered, and they will be surrounded in no more than half an hour, and one of the biggest characteristics of the Ecstasy Array is that if they don't break through, they will be moved out, and there is nowhere to run at this time. ”
"And how did you get in?"
Lao Sun exhaled a long breath: "There is a waterhole under the altar in the incubation place, this waterhole is connected to a tomb, we worked hard to come here from the tomb outside, but we found that there is no secret of immortality here, but we are falling deeper and deeper here. ”
"Why don't you find an opportunity to come from where you came from?"
Lao Sun pinched the butt of his cigarette and fell into memories and muttered to himself:
"At that time, we also had this idea, after some exploration, the team finally decided to sacrifice one person to create an opportunity for the rest of the people to escape here, Jiang Xing in the team was unfortunately drawn, and the others were also quite free, without hesitation, they patted their shoulders and laughed and said that life and death are life and prosperity.
Everything is indeed going according to the plan in an orderly manner, Jiang Xing did attract everything, but when we returned to the tomb, we found that the tomb here is not fixed, just like the Rubik's Cube in the captain's hand, it will continue to change the tomb for a certain period of time, the only thing that is the same is that as long as we don't find the right way, we will return to the location of the waterhole.
When the movement created by Jiang Xing calmed down, it would not take half a day. We used some of the rules that we had explored to constantly negotiate with them, and finally found that the safest way was to go back.
It was to return here again, no matter where we were hiding, the women could find us accurately, Wei Xian in the team began to have a fever, coughing up black blood from time to time, and someone was hit one after another in the next few days.
Later, after escaping several pursuits, the contradictions in the team broke out completely, the original expedition of thirteen people killed one Jiang Xing, and the remaining twelve people were divided into three factions, the healthy ones abandoned the sick four, and then a team of five, and a team of three went to their own places.
Everyone suspected that there was an internal ghost in this operation, and it was he who deliberately created false information to lure the adventure team here. After leaving the team, I, Ji Bufan, and Wen Rong's group began to think about how to live here for a long time.
The three of us were scared the other day, but we found that Po Sa was not chasing us at all, which made us believe that the inner ghost was among the six who were left healthy.
After a few more days, Xu Zhen was the only one left in the sick foursome, he found us with his rich survival knowledge, and just when he was about to beg us to take him in, a large amount of hair suddenly grew on his body and the whole person lost consciousness.
We took a lot of hard work to kill Xu Zhen, who had just become a woman, and dissected his corpse, and got an adult Shakya worm that had not yet fully transformed.
As the fresh water and food continued to decrease, we became more and more worried about the days to come, and finally Ji Bufan, Wen Rong took some of the supplies and left one after another.
In the years that followed, I carefully searched for safety points in various places, and during this time I also found their corpses, except for the captain Jiang Shaoqin and Jiang Xing, who did not find them, only three were intact corpses, and all the others became whims. ”
"Are you talking about Sakya insects that can only parasitize mammals while they are alive?"
"Yes, haven't you noticed that there is nothing but mammals in this large forest range?"
"Whose corpse is it under the spider cave? It's strange that he didn't get eaten there. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"It's that there was a crypt not far from before I met you, and there was a dead skeleton in it, and he still had a piece of paper in his hand. ”
"Could it be your captain or that Jiang Xing?"
"Impossible!"
"Why?"
"Because.... Because they don't have the habit of keeping a diary...."Lao Sun hugged his head and began to shout in pain.
"I haven't said it's a diary yet, how do you know that he is holding a diary in his hand?" Zhang San's eyes became even more sharp: "Did you take that notebook? Why did you leave a piece of paper, did you draw the picture behind the paper?And what does the last circle of the five circles represent?!"
"Don't ask again, I beg you to stop asking...."
"Is it you who are the inner ghost in your mouth?"
"It's not.... It's not me..."
"Why are you the only one of the thirteen still alive, and now that you've found the other corpses, whose corpses belong under the spider cave?" the old man yelled, and then crashed away from the three of them and disappeared into the bushes.
"Boss, won't you chase it this time?"
"Lao Sun is full of weirdness, let's let it go first. Zhang San exhaled and looked thoughtfully at the lion on the ground that was smoked by Lao Sun and only had a cigarette butt.
"What are we going to do next?"
Zhang San closed his eyes, and his temples were a little tired: "Since the five places all represent different dangers, then the remaining ones who don't know what they are must be clarified." If there is anyone else who knows this place best, there is no one else except Lao Sun. ”
"But they're gone. ”
Zhang San, who had bloodshot eyes, looked at Shan Chanyu as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person: "You invite people to your own home as guests, and you don't want your home anymore if you are a little stimulated?"
But he didn't say it was his only camp. ”
"Even if he doesn't come back, it's not too early, we have to rest, and if we are in a state of high nervous tension, the more we will make mistakes. Take it one step at a time, and you have to have a charter for everything. ”
