Chapter 245: Worm

Zhang Xinya retreated dozens of steps as if facing a great enemy. She was still in shock and panting violently.

Her right hand fell beside her leg, blood dripped from her slender fingertips. There was a gap of nearly one centimeter, like a wound left by a knife. It was obviously very deep in the flesh. It didn't look like a bite, but more like something scratched it hard.

"I want to see what it is!"

Brother Yaozi shouted in a low voice. Zhang Xinya was retreating, but he took a step forward and pulled out a military shovel from the side of his backpack. With a shovel, he turned over all the soil there!

I took two steps at a time and rushed over immediately.

Zhang Xinya's hand had just touched the ground, and she was bitten immediately, which meant that the thing was not lurking deep. Brother Yaozi acted very quickly. I thought that the thing should not have time to escape and was now in this pile of soil.

However, I just bent over and looked at it with a flashlight, and my scalp exploded and countless goose bumps appeared on my body.

The soil was squirming, and if you look closely, you will find that it is densely packed with insects! !

This is a kind of insect that is very similar to lice, but much larger than lice. I am afraid that it is as big as a spider. It has a fat butt and presents an almost transparent gray-white color. There are very strange patterns on the butt. At first glance, it looks like a human face, which makes me think of the human-faced spider that people often talk about. However, this is obviously not that thing. It exudes a sense of evil. It is something I don't understand at all.

There are too many of them. Under the adobe, almost all of them are this kind of thing. There are few soils and many insects. They roll into a ball and keep squirming. I have intensive phobia when I see it. This has nothing to do with courage. It is completely inherited from human ancestors in the genes!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a giant louse at the top jumped towards me.

This thing's jumping ability is very strong, almost to the point of abnormality, and it came straight to my face.

I immediately turned my head, and the giant louse almost brushed my cheek. I just felt a chill on my face, and the next moment there was a sharp pain. It should be a cut on my face. This wound was completely caused by the giant louse's legs. I guess Zhang Xinya's was the same, not a bite at all.

A black shadow suddenly pounced on me from behind, stepped on these wriggling insects, and for a while, the "crackling" explosion sound was connected in a series, and it was endless.

The person who came was naturally Lao Bai. He was highly immune to these insects. He didn't look uncomfortable at all. Instead, he turned his head and grinned at me.

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because countless giant lice crawled out of the pit dug by Brother Yaozi.

Moreover, the mushrooms around were wriggling one after another. It was obvious that the insects under the soil were alarmed and were crawling out of the ground...

This number can only be described as an astronomical figure. The giant lice that emerged from the pits were overwhelming and surging towards us, just like marching ants. Moreover, this thing was extremely bloodthirsty and had a strong desire to eat. Lao Bai was the first to suffer. I saw dozens of giant lice jumping up and landing on Lao Bai's head.

Lao Bai immediately screamed "Ah Ao" as if he was crazy. He swung his hands and slapped his head fiercely, almost jumping up.

"Run!"

I yelled and pulled Lao Bai forward.

My goal was naturally the tower!

That was the destination and the most sacred place in this underground city. Naturally, I thought of taking refuge there first.

But after running a few steps, I changed my mind.

Because it was too late! !

As far as the eye can see, the white ocean originally formed by mushrooms is being eaten away bit by bit, revealing a large black area, and countless giant lice are breaking out of the ground. These things are too ferocious, eating everything. The moment they emerge, they eat countless mushrooms, and they are obviously not satisfied. Our fragrant and fishy food is what attracts them the most, and naturally they rush towards us from all directions.

How can we rush over?

In just a moment, almost everyone of us is injured. These giant lice have a strong jumping ability. As long as they get close, they can jump directly on us and hit us in the fatal place.

Just to say that I was almost killed by a louse. That thing jumped on my neck, and its legs and feet were like knives, cutting directly towards my artery. If I hadn't slapped it to death in time, with the sharpness of its legs and feet, I'm afraid it could easily cut my artery. I was definitely dead after suffering such an injury in this underground ruins.

In addition, the wounds left by other lice on my body are countless.

I really can't understand how there are such strange creatures in this world. If it falls into the insect tide, it will be cut into pieces almost instantly! !

In a panic, Brother Yaozi slapped the giant lice on Zhang Xinya's body to cover the other party, and shouted: "Lao Bai, what are you hesitating about, quickly release your Gu King!!"

Yes, yes!

Gu King!

In a hurry, I actually forgot about this. Since it's a matter of insects, it will definitely work to find the Gu King. It is the king of all insects. Once it appears, these giant lice will immediately retreat. We have encountered similar situations before, and this trick has always been successful!

"Fuck you, ah!!"

Lao Bai was tossed around by the giant louse, screaming and saying, "This thing can't be cured by the Gu King. They still dare to surround the Gu King. Ah, find a place to hide quickly, ah!!"

When I heard this, I understood.

Lao Bai should know what this is!

It happened in a flash. I dragged Lao Bai to a large mound not far away, and quickly found the door. I kicked it open with a "clang", and then pushed Lao Bai in. After Brother Yaozi and Zhang Xinya got in, I suddenly flashed into the house. In just a moment, I had been attacked dozens of times, and a giant louse actually got in along the back of my neck. For a moment, it seemed as if a knife kept stabbing and cutting my back, and I was shivering with pain.

Clang!

The moment I closed the door, I immediately rolled on the ground and crushed the giant louse in my clothes alive.

However, the moment the door was opened, many giant lice got in. At this moment, they were still not quiet. We were in a panic and finally killed the giant lice in the house with great effort.

Fortunately, the house built by this mysterious race is very well sealed, and it is dark underground, and there is no sun, so there are no windows in the house. Once the door is closed, the giant lice outside can't get in. I can hear the crackling sound on the door, and I guess there are many giant lice piled up outside at this moment.

We were still in shock. Although it was only a short moment, we seemed to be exhausted. We sat softly on the ground, covered with blood and countless small wounds.

"I knew it wouldn't be so smooth!"

Zhang Xinya sighed and smiled bitterly: "Since we got off the boat, the whole journey has been too smooth, and we didn't encounter anything. At that time, I knew that there must be a bigger crisis waiting for us..."

I just felt the pain of the wounds on my body, which made me alert, and immediately pushed Lao Bai: "You know this thing, right? What is it? Why does the cut hurt so much, just like it was sprinkled with salt, it's too deadly, do you think it's poisonous?!"

"It is poisonous. In modern medical terms, it is a neurotoxin, but it only acts on the pain nerves and is not fatal. Just bear with it, it will be fine after it passes!"

Lao Bai raised his head. He was the worst. His whole head turned into a blood gourd, which looked quite hideous. He huddled in a corner with his hands on his chest, as if he had encountered some kind of atrocity. He said faintly: "This is a kind of parasite. As the name suggests, it means a parasite. Well, it's just like us growing cauliflower..."

"Grow your mother's cauliflower!"

Brother Yaozi was shaking with pain, and his whole body was a little hairy. When he heard this, he immediately got angry: "Can you speak properly?"

"That's right."

Lao Bai was speechless and said: "However, this kind of growth does not grow on us humans, but on some evil things!!"

He carefully talked about this so-called growth worm.

In fact, growth worms are a large category with many species. The one we are encountering now is called ghost face lice by everyone!

The appearance of growth worms is very simple, it must be related to witchcraft!

The three largest categories of witchcraft are one is the art of warding off evil, one is the curse, and the other is the poison.

Growth worms are related to the poison.

In fact, if you think about the witchcraft carefully, this thing has a bit of biological meaning, which is fusion and creation, fusing countless kinds of insects or poisons together to cultivate a stronger insect or poison.

In fact, raising insects is only the most common category of poisonous Gu. In addition, there are many strange and bizarre evil arts in poisonous Gu, which basically combines people or other animals together to cultivate some more crazy Gu! !

However, this kind of evil magic is too domineering. It is against the will of heaven and has a high chance of failure. If you are not careful, the caster will be finished!

The worm is the product of the failure of raising this kind of evil Gu. At that time, the caster will most likely be backfired and unable to control the situation, and the worm will grow on the failed evil Gu and devour the evil Gu.

To put it bluntly, this thing is not a Gu, but a Gu-eater.

"Now you understand why the Gu King is also scared when he sees this thing?!"

Lao Bai smiled bitterly: "My big baby is the most cowardly. As long as he is in a little danger, he would rather watch me being cut into pieces, and it will never show up!"

Of course, the worms produced when the evil Gu raised are different and the failure is also different.

Lao Bai said that this kind of ghost-faced lice is related to the soul of the deceased. It must be that when using human souls to cultivate some evil Gu, it must have failed accidentally, which would produce this kind of ghost-faced lice.

Unlike other insects, ghost-faced lice will reproduce on their own, and their number is getting larger and larger. They eat whatever they see and are very ferocious. Encountering this kind of ghost-faced lice is much more terrifying than encountering army ants. However, this thing is afraid of sunlight and dare not go to the ground. Once it sees the sun, it will die. But there is nothing to eat underground. Therefore, most of the time, ghost-faced lice will hibernate, similar to some animals hibernating!

"We accidentally disturbed these things!"

Lao Bai sighed and said, "Wait, wait until they have tossed enough, it won't take long for them to calm down. If they toss too long, they can't eat and will die!"

This more or less relieved us.

"Then wait!"

Brother Yaozi sat on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, leaning back. Just when his back just touched the wall, he suddenly got angry and sat up immediately: "Damn, the smell in this room is wrong!"

We were tortured to death by these insects. Who had time to smell the smell in this room just now? Now that he said that, I sniffed and my face immediately became ugly.

There was a fishy smell in the air...

This fishy smell was the same as the skin that Lao Bai pulled out of the mud! !

The skin was obviously shed by an unknown thing, and it was shed not long ago. At that time, we suspected that there might be an unknown thing lurking here. How could it not make people shudder to smell this smell in this room at this moment?

"Damn it, just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?"

The old white man's face turned green, and he cursed in a low voice: "There are so many big mounds, but why did he choose this one? This shouldn't be the lair of that thing, right?"
