"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, your safety is guaranteed! Besides, only when I'm alive can you have hope to fight against Lu Yao."
He Lingchuan immediately pricked up his ears: "Oh, what should I say?"
"I was snatched away by the crocodile god, causing the tribe to collapse. Lu Yao took the opportunity to recruit people." His life and death depended on the boy in front of him. Wu Shaoyi braced himself and persuaded, "I am alive, so they will not be used by Lu Yao."
"And Pei Xinyong, I can convince him to deal with Lu Yao together."
He Lingchuan no longer hesitated after hearing this: "Okay, what should we do?"
Next, he followed Wu Shaoyi's instructions, took out a turtle bead and washed it.
Despite the astonishing size of the giant turtle, the turtle beads are actually the size of an egg, which is still a small egg. After the blood on the surface is washed away, it glows silvery white with a touch of light blue, crystal clear and soft.
Isn’t this better than some luminous pearls?
And turtle beads also have other wonderful uses. For example, when he tried holding one in his mouth just now, he could breathe freely underwater.
He Lingchuan looked at it and sighed, muttering to himself that it was a pity. Then he found a wooden hammer and ground it into powder with a few clicks.
There are certain things to be careful about when smashing beads to get powder. Do not use iron tools.
Then he went to find Wugen Shui.
Rootless water is rainwater that has not reached the ground. This is easy to handle. It rained recently, and the rainwater tank under the eaves of any house was half full.
He took a piece of yellow paper talisman from Wu Shaoyi, burned it to ashes, and soaked it in a small cup of rootless water.
Then, pour in the turtle pearl powder and stir until completely dissolved.
The strange thing is that the talisman water is red at this time. He Lingchuan is not sure whether it is the effect of cinnabar.
To do this, he had to go to the wild to catch a grasshopper.
Wu Shaoyi specifically told her that if she wants to be pregnant, her belly should not be too big.
This is even more difficult for He Lingchuan. When he was a child, he lived in the countryside, and the number of grasshoppers that caused disaster was not only a thousand but also eight hundred. What's more, the wheat had just been harvested in Xianling Village, and now these little pests were the most joyful ones jumping around in the fields.
Time was running out, so Sable also went out to help.
It is agile, has sharper eyes, and has a lower chassis. It can catch grasshoppers much faster than He Lingchuan.
Not long after, they caught a fat and strong pole hook. When they turned it over, they found it had a big belly.
In autumn, the eggs in the female's belly are mature and she is ready to find a place to lay her eggs.
The belly is too big and does not meet the requirements. Throw it away and find it again.
After searching for seventeen or eighty in a row, He Lingchuan finally got one that was legal.
Healthy and energetic, my lower abdomen is only slightly bulging.
He Lingchuan threw the green bug into the water cup, sealed it and fastened it. The two of them had six eyes, and they couldn't keep a close eye on it for a moment.
The pole hook fell into the talisman water, and I struggled a few times instinctively, but after taking a sip of the talisman water, I froze and actually stayed still.
At the same time, the water level in the cup begins to drop.
Apparently, it was drinking water in large gulps.
The strange thing is that the volume of water in the cup was at least two or three times that of the pole hook, but it drank it all in the end.
Wu Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "It's okay, it's okay, it's probably done."
He Lingchuan looked at him: "Otherwise?"
"There is only one piece of talisman paper, and it was obtained from the Holy Master." Hong Xiangqian died, and he could not reproduce this secret skill.
He Lingchuan listened, but was more interested in Hong Xiangqian. The rebels called him the Holy Master, and everyone was convinced of him. Even the murderous Lu Yao was no exception, and even the crocodile god from the northern demon country was no exception.
And willing to be used by him.
This man was also proficient in magical talismans, which reminded He Lingchuan of Sun Fuping, Grand Master Sun Daguo.
It's really not simple.
The pole hook was not stretched to death. After drinking the water, it entered a still state. It only occasionally raised its forelimbs to wash its face and beard. However, its color changed, from grass green to blood red, and irregular growths appeared all over its body.
black spots.
At the same time, its abdomen became more and more bulging, looking like an inflated balloon, and its skin became thinner and thinner. At the same time, its abdomen became more and more transparent, and the two of them could even see the tiny eggs inside.
It grows bigger and fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, they are the ones that enlarge the belly of the female worm.
Just when it was so round that He Lingchuan suspected that it would explode in the next second, the belly of the pole hook finally stopped growing.
It stands to reason that grasshoppers will lay their egg sheaths into the soil, and after a while, the egg sheaths will hatch into larvae.
But this female insect had no intention of giving birth, and those weird eggs hatched into larvae directly in its abdomen!
The larvae of grasshoppers are called jumping flies. They do not look much different from their mother except that they have no wings and are small in size.
As soon as they climbed out of the egg shell, they eagerly pounced on their brothers and sisters, tearing and biting them with their mouthparts that were perfect at birth. Even the wolves who had been hungry for three days were not as greedy as them.
He Lingchuan felt a chill running down his back.
Grasshoppers have always fed on plant leaves and tender stems, and are strict vegetarians. However, after the female worm drinks the talisman water, the larvae in her belly suddenly change sex, and not only eat meat, but also cannibalize their own kind.
Soon, the number of larvae in the mother's belly decreased rapidly.
After the weak ones have been eaten, it is the turn of the strong ones to devour each other.
He Lingchuan murmured: "Isn't this just raising Gu?"
Through cruel competition, the nutrients obtained by all the young individuals will eventually belong to only one.
In terms of human society, this behavior has a higher-level term, called zero-sum game.
The fight to the death between the larvae was very fast, and they killed each other while he was in a trance. In the end, the two jumping flies also decided the winner.
After eating the loser, the largest jumping oyster became the final winner.
Its size has grown again, and its skin is red and black, almost the same as the mother worm.
During this period, the female insect remained still, not rolling on the ground in pain due to the intense pain in her abdomen. He Lingchuan even saw a hint of kindness in its ferocious and weird face.
After the larvae have digested the same kind of food, they will no longer move.
"The essence of the mother's body has been transferred to it. If we don't care about it, it will grow wings and burst out of its belly in two hours." After waiting for so long, Wu Shaoyi's condition became even worse. Yintang was already filled with black energy.
My eyes are a little distracted.
"Now, dig it out!" Wu Shaoyi turned to Sable and said, "That's it. Go and find everyone. The more, the better."
Sable jumped off the kang, and her slender figure disappeared outside the door.
He Lingchuan took out the hook of the pole, removed the belly, and followed Wu Shaoyi's instructions to crush the female worm into pieces before stuffing it into the prisoner's mouth.
The bandit had already woken up and shouted: "I'm innocent, don't hurt me!"
"Are you innocent?" He Lingchuan smiled, "Then where did the blood stains on your trouser legs come from? Could it be that you were disguised as a man?"
The bandit was stunned: "This, this, I'm just helping to move the corpse..."
He Lingchuan didn't bother to listen to his argument, so he hit him on the diaphragm with his elbow, causing the man to lean forward, his mouth open and speechless for a long time.
