Chapter 291: Poli Beast

Cang Yao now spends most of her time dormant and recovering, appearing silent and harmless. Even my master has rarely asked about her. Perhaps I am the only one who still remembers the words that summarize her life - don't ask about the way home, this life is nameless, that is, Wumingshi!

How can a ruthless character who drags the enemy to perish together with him be a good person who is unknown? The brutality and bellicosity of the Yin people flow in her blood! !

At this moment, the nameless person who frightened me and scared me from the bottom of my heart appeared.

The moment when the rotten yellow tooth closed the door, it had already sounded the death knell for himself!

Swish!

A residual image came, and Cang Yao didn't say a word, and took action neatly, using her leg as a knife, and slashed at the rotten yellow tooth from behind.

How much power does this kick contain?

Unimaginable!

I only saw a shadow and a shrill whistling sound, followed by a "crack" of bone fracture, and then... the whole person of Rotten Yellow Tooth flew up...

That's right, he flew up.

This kick directly broke his spine, and his upper and lower bodies folded up, and he flew to a corner next to him, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Too fast!

The whole process took less than a second! !

Then, Cang Yao pounced on the man who was tossing the seasoning.

After I reacted, I roared and pounced on the shirtless man next to Lao Bai.

The man's reaction speed was pretty good, and he immediately took out a gun from his waist, but the cabin was so big, and the distance between him and me was so small. When he took out the gun, I had already pounced on him, and hit his chin with a flying knee. He screamed and fell to the ground!

I turned over and took the one-handed saw they used to saw bones from the bed. Before he could jump up, I slashed his face fiercely with my backhand, and then pulled it down. A huge crack was instantly torn on his face, and one of his eyes was blinded. Blood splattered all over me.

The man screamed "Ah" and rolled over, covering his face.

I was about to hit him on the neck and kill him directly, but I heard Lao Bai suddenly yelled: "Spine!!"

I suddenly realized it, but before I could make a move, the other party's state became weird.

I saw him lying on the ground with his face down, his body twisted weirdly like a worm, and the most terrifying thing was that the spine on his back was bulging high and squirming constantly.

Seeing this, I didn't dare to hesitate any more, swung the saw blade in my hand, and chopped the other party's back with all my strength.

However, this is a hand saw after all, not a knife, so the killing power of chopping is very limited. I don't have the strength of Cang Yao, who can kick and break the spine and kick the person to fold up. This time, I really couldn't kill the worm on the other party directly. The moment the flesh was cut open, a dark green juice splashed. Luo Songyuan guessed correctly. This thing really clings to the human spine. When I sawed it down, it should only hurt the worm. The flesh on the other party's back squirmed more and more.

I didn't retract the saw blade, but pressed the saw blade downward, sawing back and forth fiercely. Sure enough, I could feel a round and fleshy thing on the other party's spine. As for the shirtless man, he has been motionless since the worm showed signs, and he should be dead.

Before I could continue to be ruthless, the shirtless man's cervical vertebrae exploded with a "pop", and a fist-sized blood hole appeared. A bug as thick as an adult's arm "swooshed" out.

This was a huge centipede!

The carapace was a creepy black-purple color, and the two sides were full of legs. It fluttered and twisted its body and swept towards me.

Luo Songyuan had already said that this kind of bug was difficult to deal with, so how could I let it get on my body? I quickly jumped up and stepped on the bug's head. Then I finally understood why Luo Songyuan said that this kind of bug was more difficult to deal with than humans. It was very powerful and struggled wildly. I staggered and was almost flipped over.

Seeing that I couldn't hold on, Lao Bai shouted: "King of Gu, help!"

A small insect crawled out from the clothes that Lao Bai had stripped off. It was very inconspicuous. Apart from being slightly golden, it had no other characteristics, but it ran very fast. It "slid" and drilled into the wound on the cervical vertebrae of the shirtless strong man.

The ferocious centipede soon stopped moving. The King of Gu quietly crawled out of the strong man's body and got back into Lao Bai's clothes, without anyone noticing...

At this time, Cang Yao had already resolved the battle. He found a kitchen knife from somewhere and walked towards Ran Huang Ya expressionlessly.

This master was very tough. Even in this state, he was still alive and crawling on the ground with difficulty.

Cang Yao walked forward, without saying a word, swung the kitchen knife and chopped off the head of Ran Huang Ya with a "click". His hands did not tremble from beginning to end. Seeing this, my eyelids jumped wildly, and I thought this was the real Anonymous...

After taking a breath, I stood up and sawed off the rope on Lao Bai. Lao Bai jumped up naked and hugged me, saying that I was his lucky star. He was desperate at first, thinking that he could not escape the tube of seasoning this time. He had experienced everything and could withstand the disaster of the level of Heimiao toast, but he was a little scared when he saw the tube of chili and soy sauce.

I hurriedly pushed him away and said, "What's wrong with you? Can you put on your pants first before talking?"

Cang Yao took off the Tianguan Blade on Ran Huang Ya and threw it to me, then returned to the wind chime without saying a word. I saw that she was in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to say anything. I woke up the Tianguan Blade and left the cabin immediately.

However, when I found Brother Yaozi and his men, they had already escaped. With the skills of him and Wushuang, they suddenly launched a sneak attack at close range. The result is predictable. No one can resist, especially the three crew members who were holding Wushuang and Old Man Li. They died extremely miserably. They were no longer human. Most of their bones were broken. It seemed that these two people didn't care about the angle of attack at all. They closed their eyes and beat them hard. No matter whether they were human or insect, they were all beaten to death...

However, there was no trace of my master and the old one-eyed man in the crew cabin.

This made me feel nervous. After meeting Brother Yaozi and his men, I rushed out in a hurry.

There was a dead silence on the deck. Soon, we found my master...

The battle here was also over.

My master and the old one-eyed man were the last to come out. Once there was no one in the cabin, my master had no scruples. He started to attack the moment he came out. All the crew members around him were killed. Everyone had only one wound, including the first and fifteenth. The fact was really as my master said - he killed them with one sword, and there was no time to use the second sword! !

Qi Houzi was also dead, lying quietly on the deck with his eyes wide open. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had encountered something very terrifying when he was dying. Only by looking closely could you find that there was a thin red line on his neck. It should be that my master cut his throat with a sword.

The old one-eyed man was injured. His arm was pierced by a bullet, but it didn't hurt his vital parts. According to him, it was pure bad luck. A crew member was pierced through the chest by my master's sword. When he fell, he pulled the trigger. As a result, a bullet hit the cabin door and bounced off, directly injuring the old one-eyed man.

In addition to people, there were four or five centipede corpses scattered on the deck. My master was too confident in his own strength and did not cut the opponent's spine directly, so some centipedes came out of the corpses, but they were dealt with by my master immediately afterwards, either cut off with a sword or nailed to death. The old one-eyed man said that these monsters were finished before they could get close.

This was the first time I saw the full appearance of these things. They were nearly two meters long and extremely hideous, but as Luo Songyuan said, they had no mouthparts.

Seeing that no one was worried about their lives, we relaxed and gathered together to observe these giant centipedes that we had never seen before.

"It looks like the prehistoric giant centipede mentioned in the book?"

Brother Yaozi suddenly said: "I've seen it in a book before. It said that this kind of thing lived in the Carboniferous period, hundreds of millions of years ago. It died out long ago. How come it's still here?"

"What a bullshit prehistoric giant centipede!!"

Lao Bai sneered: "Doesn't Luo Songyuan know centipedes? But he just said it was a bug, but didn't mention the word centipede. Obviously, from the details, this thing is not a centipede at all! In fact, Luo Songyuan was not right. This thing is not a bug at all!!"

I glanced at him. When it comes to bugs, I'm afraid no one among us knows more about bugs than Lao Bai. I asked, "What do you mean?"

"This is not a bug!!"

Lao Bai said: "If it is a bug, it will not escape the eyes of the Gu King. My big baby just killed one of this thing, and then it told me that this thing doesn't feel like a bug to it at all."

"Don't look like a bug?"

Zhang Xinya was interested: "What does it look like?"

Lao Bai thought for a moment and said: "That smell is like a wild beast..."

"I think I know what this is..."

Zhang Xinya suddenly said: "It looks like a bug, but it's not a bug, but a wild beast. This reminds me of a monster - the Poli beast!!"

We looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces. Obviously, no one except Zhang Xinya knew what this was.

"This kind of thing was recorded in a book I read when I was in college. The book was neither a novel nor a history book, but a collection of stories that storytellers in the Sui and Tang dynasties often told on the streets."

Zhang Xinya sighed lightly, "I originally thought it was some kind of centipede, but then Lao Bai said it was not a bug, but a wild beast. Such a weird thing could only be the Poli beast."

She said that Poli was an ancient country, and its location should be in present-day Indonesia, but it was not certain whether it was in Bali or Kalimantan. There were different opinions. This ancient country had established diplomatic relations with China in the sixth century AD.

The book she read said that in the eleventh year of the Kaihuang period of the Sui Empire, the envoy of the Poli Kingdom entered the capital Daxing City. There was a cage on the car, and inside was a humanoid monster with red hair and skin, three fingers on his hands, and it looked like a human but not a human.

The envoy of the Poli Kingdom said that this was a very rare fighting beast in their Poli Kingdom, called the Poli Beast, which could tear tigers and leopards apart alive. It was extremely ferocious and no warrior in the world could match it.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was not happy when he heard this. During the Kaihuang era, all nations came to pay tribute. If you ask about bravery, is there anyone in the world more fierce than the warriors of the Sui Dynasty? So he held a duel and selected warriors in the army to wrestle with the Poli Beast.

As a result, four consecutive defeats!

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was angry and sent out his brave general Shi Wansui.

This Shi Wansui was a fierce man. When he fought with the Turks, he killed the Turkic warriors under Bujia Khan in battle, which frightened the Turks so much that they dared not fight again. His bravery was unparalleled in the world. This man went on the field and fought with the Poli Beast alone for hundreds of rounds before he killed the Poli Beast with a halberd.

Although the Sui Empire won the duel this time, the strength of the Poli beast also left a very deep impression on Emperor Wen of Sui. After watching the duel, Empress Dugu only said one sentence - if the Poli beast can be tamed and raised as an army, the Turks can be conquered!

These words expressed the thoughts of Emperor Wen of Sui. During the Kaihuang prosperous era, although the Sui Empire had already stood proudly among the world's empires, the Turks were indeed a major concern. The Poli beast made Emperor Wen of Sui very excited, so he summoned the envoy of the Poli Kingdom and expressed his thoughts tactfully.

When the envoy of the Poli Kingdom heard this, he was shocked and knelt down and said that it was absolutely impossible.

Emperor Wen of Sui was still a little angry, but after the envoy of the Poli Kingdom explained, he immediately gave up the idea in his heart.

It turns out that this Poli beast does not look like this when it is young, but is a giant multi-legged insect that cannot eat itself. It has to attach itself to people and lie on their spines. Its dense legs hug the human spine and control people to eat its own kind. It is extremely cruel. After absorbing enough nutrients, it will abandon the host and cocoon itself. Like a butterfly, it will form this Poli beast on the day it breaks out of the cocoon.

Yang Jian was originally a wise ruler and disliked these evil ways the most. When he heard this, he immediately shouted that it was a monster. If it came in large numbers, it was unknown how it would destroy the lives of people. From then on, he never mentioned this matter again.

"That book contains mostly strange stories and legends. I don't know if they are reliable or not."

Zhang Xinya said with some embarrassment: "But don't you think this thing really looks a bit like the Poli beast? The Poli beast lives on the islands of Indonesia. This is also an island. From the geographical environment, it is really possible..."

If these things are really the larvae of the Poli beast, then this matter is worth further investigation.

All clues show that this kind of insect seems to have something to do with the mysterious ancient country on the island. Emperor Wen of Sui once wanted to tame the Poli beast, but eventually gave up. Could it be that this ancient country did what Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to do but didn't do?

Are these things domesticated by that ancient country?

This ancient country, which is already mysterious in our eyes, now seems even more unfathomable.

"Stop thinking about it, take a break, and prepare to land on the island!"

My master looked at the dark island in the distance and told the old one-eyed man to find the reserved water on the ship. Although it was hard to drink, it was better than dying of thirst. After everything was ready, he waved his hand and led us to leave the Dagu and set foot on the mysterious and unknown land ahead...
