There is a saying that when this thing is hung on Lao Wang and he stands there, facing the light, it looks like an ancient cloisonné enamel sculpture. From the light to the outline of the lines, it gives people a luxurious and majestic feeling.
Half of the centipede's body tightly wrapped around Lao Wang's legs, wrapping up to his waist and chest. Under its body were not only slender and sharp legs, but also a large number of blade-shaped abdominal limbs like shrimps. It made a clicking sound.
Deeply embedded in the flesh.
"Help! Hold on to the grass. It hurts. It feels like the bone is stuck." Lao Wang held the knife across his neck and pinched the big centipede's "neck" with his other hand: "I
He asked for anesthesia and anesthesia when he stepped on the horse."
He yelled like this, but Tai Xiaoyi and Li Laixi didn't dare to move. After all, the dense blade-like abdominal limbs cut very deep. If they were pulled hard, Lao Wang would probably need to go to the base hospital again to do some weird things.
Operation.
"What is it called!"
Li Cang reduced the big wand to its normal size and inserted it into the back of the big centipede's "neck" with a hammer. Unless it was willing to give up its attack on Lao Wang and coil itself up into mosquito coils, it would never be able to reach this part in its current posture.
The giant centipede didn't realize what was happening at first, but the pain of the broken carapace made it very unhappy. However, the next second, the big magic wand embedded in its body seemed to suddenly turn into a powerful water pump, and a red and white mist of light was released.
The same thing spurted out from the back.
Creatures that rely more on instinct than intelligence to act, their awareness of physical conditions is usually greater than that of humans. The giant centipede almost immediately stretched its body and gave up on Lao Wang, and jumped out more than ten meters away. It bit off the big wand on its back and threw it away.
far away.
"Don't let it get away!"
The blood-gourd-like Lao Wang yelled with a ferocious expression. This time he finally learned to be smart, and at least none of the prayers for treatment were ignored and brushed off.
It is impossible to run. Teacher Cang thinks the horns on the top of this thing are of great nutritional value.
After a short and not too brutal fight, the ten-meter-long giant centipede was straightened out like a dying trouser belt and laid out on the ground for people to watch and humiliate.
Abilities: Parasitism of zombies, earth walking, corpse poison resistance
From a practical perspective, the performance of this second-stage giant centipede is comparable to that of a mid-to-upper-level three-stage walking zombie. Its body is violent and violent, and its movements are agile and decisive. Especially when Li Cang saw the words "Corpse Poison Resistance" written in
Skill list, eyes immediately lit up.
"Dig! This thing definitely uses walking corpses as material to breed offspring!"
After more than forty minutes of carpet-based searching, the entire empty island was crushed to pieces and laid on the ground. After identifying inch by inch, we finally found the giant centipede’s nursery.
Tens of millions of densely packed orange-yellow caviar-like centipede eggs are adhered to the inside of walking corpses that are so shriveled that only a layer of skin is left. Some have hatched into small centipedes with blue heads, red bodies, and white legs that are as long as two knuckles.
, twisted into a ball in a mind-numbing posture, squirming in horror, tearing and biting the corpse's clothes while killing and devouring each other.
The result is undoubtedly disappointing. The centipede cubs that have hatched are not even stage 1 reserves. They are so fragile that they are no different from ordinary insects.
"A bug is still a bug after all." Li Cang was inevitably disappointed. "I don't know how many eggs it needs to hatch to raise a truly qualified offspring."
If it is born with its own attributes, and this thing is handed over to the Academy of Sciences or Jin Yujing for a little research, it can be imagined that it will be a very profitable business, but this mode of raising gu will not work. God knows how many resources are needed.
Only then can they grow to the level of their mother.
"Do you want to stay?"
"Keep it, don't kill it, send it to the insect nest." Li Cang thought for a while, "Let's grill some meat and try it tonight."
Lao Wang raised his thumb and bared his teeth happily: "Teacher Cang, you know how to live!"
The further you go into the criss-crossing depths of the gravel river, the more isolated islands that are medium to large and covered with vines, but most of them have no strange beasts or corpses on them, not even a beautiful giant centipede.
The four of them and Kongdao rushed all the way, scraping the ground for three feet. By the fourth day, the river of gravel looming in the airspace ahead was no longer the trickle before, but gradually turned into a raging sea that reached the sky and the earth.
In the airspace of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the "gravel" flowing inside is like melting and calving glaciers in the polar spring. Accompanied by earth-shattering explosions, the collision creates extremely brilliant sparks. Some "river sections" are even burning with raging flames.
.
Various strange beasts began to appear frequently in the river, drifting with the current in hidden corners that no one could see, lurking, hunting, and living their own lives comfortably and undisturbed.
"boom!"
Less than 5 kilometers in front of the sky island, a blazing blue flash suddenly exploded into countless sizzling arcs, turning all the boulders flowing in the river within a few hundred meters into uniform, fist-sized charred black.
Particles, a huge figure in the center of the explosion disappeared for a flash, and dived back into the depths of the river with its prey.
"Damn," Lao Wang said, "I admit that I lack a sense of security. Can any of you see clearly what that thing is?"
Li Cang and Tai Xiaoyi shook their heads together. They were not particularly perceptive, and they were too far away. They basically only saw flashes of lightning and movement of black shadows. They didn't know much more than Lao Wang.
Li Laixi frowned and said uncertainly: "Looking at the undulating outline of the surrounding stones, it looks like a big manta ray. It must be twenty or thirty meters long and about the same width."
The four people looked at each other.
Yes, it’s another conceptual beast. This Liusha River is indeed a river. Isn’t it normal to have some fish?
At night, Kongdao encountered its first attack in recent times. Thirteen night watch doglegs disappeared silently, and a magic mountain had half of its arm torn off. The scene was tragic.
In the early morning, Li Cang, who was brushing his teeth and stewing meat bones in a large enamel jar, was leaning forward to dig out the grubs. The river of gravel below the island base suddenly burst out, and countless huge rocks moved with strange, hurricane waves.
Sweeping by like a gesture, Li Cang and his enamel jar disappeared directly into the river without making any movement.
Lao Wang in front of the stilted building spat out toothpaste half a foot away: "Oh shit, shit, Teacher Cang got rolled down——"
Li Laisi gargled her mouth: "If it were me, I would be more sensible and change someone else."
It's not that they haven't tried going down to the river to track down those strange beasts that they feel are very powerful and worthy of a try, but the hardness and density of the boulders really don't allow them to be too arrogant. Let's put it this way, Li Leisi went in fully armed.
It's hard to survive more than a minute and a half.
Without vision, they have to face the grinding and collision of endless boulders every moment. Who knows how these monsters in the river survive and can still move normally.
Ten seconds after Teacher Cang went down, scarlet foehn pillars dozens of meters high sprang up one after another from the gradually flattening river. The brilliant white light diffused almost instantly and covered the 5-kilometer radius of the river, mixed with some kind of baby cry.
There were strange mute howls, raging hurricane waves were set off everywhere, stones were flying everywhere, and blood and unknown mucus were stuck to the rolling stones.
