Corpse Puppet!
Lin Xixue was shocked. The long yellow and black creature that she had just chopped into two parts turned out to be a zombie worm!
And it’s an adult corpse bug!
No wonder the bug flew straight towards her ears before, probably trying to get directly into her body through her ears.
She couldn't help but think of the cesspool that Hong Yanzi took her to see in the cave, where countless corpse worms were kept.
According to Bai Qing, Hong Yanzi wanted to die with her that day, so he turned the entire cave upside down, causing the cave to collapse.
Could it be that when the cave collapsed that day, there were still some corpse worms in the cesspool that were not completely dead. These remaining corpse worms found a way out during this period, and escaped from the cave and came to Linghu Village?
If this is the case, it makes sense that after Hong Yanzi died, these bugs had no one to feed them, so they had to fend for themselves and go out to find food.
No wonder the servant warrior sent by the master of the Gu family has not been heard from again since he stepped into the bamboo forest. He is probably either parasitized by the insect or became its food.
As soon as she recalled the dense corpse worms in the sewage pool, gnawing away at Luo Si's body, Lin Xixue felt hairy on her back.
From this point of view, the villagers of Linghu Village and the workers who came to repair the Wuzeng Temple were probably in danger.
The realgar powder outside the bamboo forest is obviously to prevent the zombie insects from flowing further outside Linghu Village.
As for everyone who enters the city, they must use realgar powder to kill insects. This is obviously to prevent corpse bugs from parasitizing in the human body and taking the opportunity to sneak into the city.
However, judging from the words of the shopkeeper of Zi Ren Pavilion, he obviously did not know what happened in Linghu Village.
As soon as Lin Xixue blew the whistle, all the dead fish that sank to the bottom of the lake twitched their bodies a few times and gathered towards the shore.
She didn't panic, she just took a step back and blew a bamboo whistle. The zombie immediately shrank into a ball and fell to the ground.
Did Niubi from Sanyuan Guan tell Yunzhou Prefecture?
Looking at this situation, it didn't look like the villagers had been eaten by corpse bugs, but rather it looked like the whole village had fled in a hurry.
Or is it actually the temple blessings of the Chenghuang Temple that provide the information?
If this conjecture is true, it may not be surprising that the temple ministers of the City God's Temple know something about this zombie insect.
She took out the "Hundred Solutions to Evil Techniques" that Hong Yanzi gave to her from the void. This book was sewn from the skin of an unknown creature. Under the burning of the six dings of divine fire, her hair was only scorched.
Yellow, not damaged.
This whistle was the insect control whistle that Hong Yanzi had given her before. Although the whistle had been burned before by the cyan Liuding Divine Fire, fortunately, she had a very strong memory and could recreate the whistle just by relying on her memory.
come out.
According to Bai Qing's review of the situation in the cave, Hong Yanzi had the Youbing Talisman, so Hong Yanzi probably had some contacts with the City God's Temple.
It was very different from her previous guess. The only difference was that the insect mentioned the mother insect, which she had never seen before and did not understand.
After much thought, she found a large vat from the village, filled it with some smelly lake water, and prepared to raise the bugs first.
But without exception, these insects all curled up into a ball and landed at Lin Xixue's feet.
She split the bamboo, and the horizontal knife danced in the air as nimbly as a light sword. With a few strokes, she carved out a small bamboo whistle, which she held in her mouth.
Lin Xixue covered her heart and forced down the nausea. She didn't know how to deal with these disgusting bugs for a while.
"Young Master, Mother of Insects, I am hungry to find food and provide for you."
Anyway, when you don't need it, just throw it into the void, out of sight and out of mind. If you really need it somewhere in the future, just take it out.
The insect's intelligence was obviously not very high, and it spoke intermittently, but Lin Xixue could roughly understand what it wanted to express.
Probably there is a queen-like existence among these bugs called the mother bug. The mother bug is very hungry now, so these bugs go out to look for food and have to bring it back to support the mother bug.
However, the scene in the village was not the same as she imagined.
With the insect control whistle in her mouth, she continued to fly through the bamboo forest on the bamboo trees, and she arrived at Linghu Village in just a cup of tea.
She quickly browsed through it and soon found the detailed explanation of [Corpse Puppet Mother].
However, all of this is just her conjecture. She still needs more information to confirm or overturn her conjecture.
She waved her sleeves to drive the insects into the urn, but one of the larger insects suddenly made a "squeaking" sound, and Lin Xixue actually understood it.
Lin Xixue leaned down and was about to take a closer look at the fish, but the fish suddenly jumped out of the water, flipped its belly, and a yellow and black corpse worm with many legs jumped out of the fish's belly.
, flew straight towards Lin Xixue’s face.
Just like the pangolin I saw in my previous life, it has its relatively fragile abdomen tucked inside, and the outside is a hard carapace. Ordinary swords and guns have no effect on the carapace.
So how did the Yunzhou Prefecture know that the zombie bug would parasitize in the human body, and how did it come up with the method of using realgar powder packets to kill people entering the city?
One of the rather large fish saw Lin Xixue standing on the shore. Not only was it not afraid of people, but it actively swam to the shore, opening and closing its mouth as if it was begging her for food.
But if this is the case, you will need to be more careful when asking temple blessings to lure Xu Zhiyi's soul.
She walked to the lake and took a quick look. The originally clear water seemed much turbid now, and seemed to exude the faint fishy smell of aquatic plants, but she could still vaguely see fish swimming in the water.
Most of the structures of the houses are intact. The fishing nets are still hanging on the wooden frames in front of the houses. The furnishings in the houses have not changed much. Even some of the soft goods have not been picked up and taken away.
[There is a mountain in Wujiang called Intestineless. There is an insect mother with a human face and an insect body. The back is red and yellow, and the belly is full of stool. It has many legs. Its appearance is very coquettish. Men with Gaigu eat it after picking up the yang.]
One of the fish even had half of its body eaten by the zombie worm. The fish flesh at the wound had rotted and swelled, and half of the skeleton was still swinging in the water, which was very strange.
She still had to continue to explore what happened in Linghu Village.
Although she can directly kill all these bugs, if she can keep a few, maybe they can be used for some useful purposes in the future?
She had always felt that this thing was unknown and was unwilling to read it, but now that the bug mentioned the concept of mother bug, she had to turn to the book to confirm it clearly.
These dead fish also jumped out of the water one after another. Some corpse worms poked out of the fish's mouth, like fish tongues; some drilled out of the fish's belly; some simply broke open the fish's head, bringing out the fishy brain.
Although these bugs are extremely disgusting, you can directly control them with a bug control whistle, so the overall risk is quite controllable.
[In three months after harvesting Yang, more than 10,000 puppets can be released, and water and rice can be introduced into the body, and the person's diet will be affected by the magic]
Lin Xixue took a few deep breaths to resist the urge to explode and the strong nausea. This was too disgusting.
It’s just that once the insect mother finds a man to harvest Yang, it will continue to produce new eggs. Then wouldn’t these disgusting insects be entrenched in Linghu Village forever and cannot be eradicated?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh, there was another mess waiting to be cleaned up.
But she looked at the talking bug at her feet, blew the whistle, and asked it another question.
"Why did you call me young master just now?"
