Chapter 228: Unwet Dirt
"You just said, other food?" Qin Wu asked.
Gao Gui said strangely: "Yes, is there anything wrong with this?"
Qin Wu suddenly had an explosion of inspiration, and hurriedly said to Gao Gui: "Quick, you get some rain and put it in your bag!"
Gao Gui didn't understand a little, but he still did as Qin Wu said, but his cloth bag was not waterproof, so Gao Gui picked a leaf that occupied the rain and put it in.
At the moment when the leaves were thrown in, the Gu insects in the cloth bag stopped moving for a moment, and then the targets of the Gu insects were all aimed at the leaf, although they were not as exaggerated as when they found people, but they were indeed moving towards the leaf.
No, they are not targeting leaves!
What they want to devour is rain from the leaves!
Soon, a few drops of rain were snatched up by the Gu worms, and at this time Gao Gui's cloth bag had been taken out for a while, although Gao Gui was covered, but it was still soaked by the rain, and the wettest part of it actually aroused the interest of the Gu worms, causing them to not listen to sucking on the cloth bag.
Gao Gui was surprised, although they didn't grow as quickly as they had eaten adult body fluids after eating a few drops of rainwater, they at least showed enough interest in water, and they could feed on rain!
Just by eating rainwater, or rather, the Gu worms that can grow all over the place by eating water, this makes Gao Gui can't believe it, which shows that these Gu worms can be wantonly stocked at no cost!
Gao Gui is now looking at these side doors that he originally looked down on with the eyes of a baby, but now everyone is still watching here, waiting for him to tell the result, so Gao Gui is still worth telling everyone about this situation.
Although Gao Gui wanted to lie when he said it, because he didn't want others to know the value of this Gu worm, when he saw that Huangfu Yizhen immediately caught some worms and fed them to the rainwater, Gao Gui was very glad that he didn't lie about this kind of thing that would obviously be exposed.
I don't know if it's because I've been with Ye Zhiying for a long time, Qin Wu has made a lot of progress in observation compared to before, and he can clearly see the reluctant expression on Gao Gui's face.
Qin Wu said with a smile: "Elder Gao doesn't have to be discouraged, at least, we are one step closer to the truth of the matter, as for these Gu worms, there are many here, no one will rob you." ”
"One step closer?" Gao Gui wondered, "Shouldn't we go one step further?" Now that we know that this Gu worm doesn't need a lot of financial resources to cultivate at all, the object of our suspicion has expanded a lot, and it can even be said that as long as someone gets this Gu worm, then anyone can cultivate this sea of worms. ”
Qin Wu smiled mysteriously: "Elder Gao, don't be impatient, please wait patiently for a while, the general situation of the matter, I, Qin Wu, already have a guess in my heart, but this guess still needs to wait for the rain to stop before we can find out." ”
"Okay, then we'll accompany Qin Daxia and wait until the rain stops. Yi Jiuzhong took the lead in saying.
Gao Gui, Zhou Kaijing, and Huangfu Yizhen then agreed, but Huangfu Yizhen seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction on his face, as the weakest party in terms of comprehensive strength, Huangfu Yizhen wished that the other three parties would also fight each other, although he may also have some losses, but it is better than competing with them fairly, but it is obviously Qin Wu on his side, but he stopped this from happening, but he is not good at saying anything, after all, if Qin Wu is forced away, even if Qin Wu does not help others, it will be difficult for him Huangfu Yizhen to have a chance of winning.
Although the rain is very heavy, everyone knows that this is a rainstorm, it won't be long, although they are bathed in the rainstorm, but the people here are at least some strength of martial arts practitioners, all of them are strong and strong, this bit of wind and rain can't do anything to them.
Soon, the rain became lighter, and the rain was only a light rain, and this light rain could not last long, and the bright moonlight gradually sprinkled through the gaps in the dark clouds.
Because Qin Wu said that he would wait until the rain stopped, everyone thought that something should happen when the rain stopped, and with the light of the torches and the faint moonlight, everyone was surprised to find that there were actually fewer Gu worms!
From the very beginning, the ground completely covered by these Gu worms, there was no trace of soil at all, and all the eyes could see was that the insects were turning on the ground, but at this moment, there were obviously vacancy pieces after pieces on the ground, enough vacancy for people to settle down, of course, although the size was enough to settle down, they would definitely not go down, and these Gu worms would not come to bite you if you touched them.
Under the careful observation of everyone, they finally understood that it was not that the Gu worms had become fewer, but that they had re-burrowed into the ground as the rain stopped, just like earthworms burrowing into the soil, although they could not find the holes they were drilling, but the soil at this time was extremely soft.
As the Gu worms gradually disappeared, and everyone was hesitating whether to go down, Qin Wu had already jumped off the ground first.
Seeing Qin Wu's actions, many people couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts, how these Gu worms were crazy to attack living people, they had all seen it, although at this moment the Gu worms got into the ground, but who knows if they would notice someone and crawl out in a swarm.
However, little by little, the insects did not appear again, and then, Huangfu Yizhen and other leaders also fell to the ground, and when they saw that the leaders had all gone down, those subordinates also jumped down.
Yi Jiuzhong, who jumped down, was the first to ask: "Qin Daxia, now that the rain has stopped, you can tell us the conjecture you just said, right?"
Qin Wu nodded: "Look at the ground." ”
"On the ground?" At first, everyone was still a little nervous, because they didn't know what was beautiful on the ground, and they thought that the Gu worm had crawled out again.
Until one person's exclamation, everyone understood what Qin Wu meant.
"There's no water on the ground!" exclaimed the man.
Then everyone discovered this anomaly, there is no problem with the soil on the ground, but if this is the soil that has just experienced heavy rain, it is very abnormal, not to mention the water, there is not even a little mud on the ground, at most the soil is a little wet, they probably stepped on this kind of soil before the rain, and after the rain, they have been on the trees because of the Gu worms, so when they fell down and saw that it was still like this, they didn't feel anything wrong for a while.
"Could it be that there are too many Gu worms, so the rain is blocked?" one person guessed.
"How is it possible, no matter how many Gu worms there are, they are just worms, not a piece of oiled paper, and the rain will definitely flow down. Another retorted.
A few people understood what Qin Wu meant.
"It's not that the rain didn't stay, but the rain that fell on the ground was all eaten by insects?" Huangfu Yizhen asked Qin Wu, "Mr. Qin wants to say that these insects just came up to eat the rain, and who arranged it to attack us at all?"
