"Grandpa, there's a gift! If you don't bring a gift, I'll ignore you!"
"You girl, grandpa is only going back for two days, not traveling anywhere..."
"Huh! I don't like you anymore!"
"You girl, luckily my old classmate was generous this time and gave me a few things. You can choose them yourself. Where is Zhou?"
"Very good."
"..."
The voices of Alice, Smith and others came from downstairs.
As soon as Alice heard that there was a gift, she immediately rummaged through Smith's bag and had no time to answer.
Zhou Huayang walked downstairs slowly, with a bit of doubt on his face.
"Zhou, you came just in time, take a look at these, do you like any of them?
This is a tribal specialty in Africa, and it’s hard to find it outside.”
Smith smiled.
Bina looked cold and arrogant, squinting at Zhou Huayang and hugging her chest.
The wooden bracelet on the right hand is quite eye-catching. Although it is rough, it has the primitive style of a primitive tribe.
Zhou Huayang remained silent and moved his eyes to the bag in front of Alice, which contained four or five black wooden objects.
Or a statue of a primitive man, a necklace of animal teeth, or a bracelet similar to Bina's hand.
Zhou Huayang's eyes returned to Smith and Bina.
Both of them looked tired.
From an outsider's perspective, they would only wonder if they didn't get enough rest.
"Who gave you these things?"
Zhou Huayang's face was solemn, as if something big had happened.
Smith vaguely felt something was wrong and became a little more serious, "An old classmate of mine is a professor in the Department of Archeology. This time he led a team to explore Africa and visited several primitive tribes."
"I brought back some tribal products. These are handicrafts of tribal people. Although they are not valuable, they are of great commemorative and collection value."
"I see..." Zhou Huayang nodded clearly and walked to the bag.
Alice obediently handed a wooden statue to Zhou Huayang, while saying with disdain, "Grandpa, these don't look good, you might as well give me a limited edition Barbie doll."
Children are not interested in appreciating the connotation of things.
"Zhou, is something wrong?"
Smith did not answer his granddaughter's words.
Bina frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Don't you think it's ugly too?
I’ll take you to the auction next time and choose gifts as you wish.”
Zhou Huayang shook his head, "It doesn't matter how the things are, but they are dangerous, so I don't recommend you keep them."
"What danger?
Isn’t it just a few pieces of wood?”
Smith and Bina immediately did not dare to be careless.
"Yes, Zhou, what danger are they in?"
Alice's eyes widened as she looked through a bone and tooth necklace.
Zhou Huayang took the necklace from her hand and asked, "Are Alice afraid of bugs?"
"ah?
Insects..." Alice shrank back, "As long as Zhou is here, I'm not afraid!"
Zhou Huayang smiled and casually crushed a bone tooth on the necklace, click... the powder flew into the air.
A mere piece of bone was as brittle as soil in his hands and fell apart easily.
There was something small between his fingers.
He raised the tip of his index finger, and there was a black egg-shaped object with a diameter of one centimeter on it. Its body had horizontal stripes, and it looked like a bug curled into a ball, or a rather special black rice.
Bina's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it an insect?"
Smith's face changed slightly, "How could...how could there be something inside?"
Alice stood on tiptoe and looked around. Compared to the caterpillars, centipedes and the like that she was afraid of, this grain of rice-like thing had no one to scare her.
Zhou Huayang poured out a ray of divine energy to stimulate the little black insect.
Suddenly, the little black insect stretched its body and twisted its body as if it was looking for direction. It turned its head left and right, and then it was ready to lower its head and bite Zhou Huayang's index finger.
"What a bug!"
Alice screamed and immediately shrank behind Zhou Huayang.
Bina's face turned pale, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly tore off the bracelet and threw it to the ground.
"These bone and tooth necklaces, statues, bracelets and other objects all contain these bugs. The largest number should be this statue, which has become a bug nest inside.
"And this kind of bug, while sucking blood, will also spit out a toxin that makes people sleepy. If the dose is too large, it may make people sleep all the time. Maybe the human body will become their culture medium."
Zhou Huayang let go of his body's defense and deliberately let the black insect bite him. He felt it for himself and easily judged the black insect's ability.
The reason why he could feel them in the pavilion was because they were very special. Although they were weak, they had an obscure and dark aura about them.
Bina trembled all over, and Smith hesitated: "I did feel very sleepy when I got up this morning. I don't usually feel like this..."
"Well, maybe while you were sleeping, the bugs in the bracelet revived and sucked some of the blood."
Zhou Huayang looked at their faces and said, "But it's not serious."
"Of course, if they all ran out, you would probably be dead by now."
Zhou Huayang added.
The three of them were trembling with fear, and Alice covered her eyes.
Bai Yu was surrounding the bracelet on the ground with great interest. Poof~ the next second, he pecked a wooden bead into pieces, and there was also a curled black insect in the broken pieces.
This guy swallowed it straight in, and soon fluttered his wings in disgust and flew to the sofa.
"Ah Gu~" It has no taste and is not delicious!
Zhou Huayang rolled his eyes at it angrily.
"Zhou, what on earth is going on..." Smith asked subconsciously.
"I don't know about that. After all, I didn't bring the thing back. Besides, it must be man-made. It's very possible that there are such insects in the objects held by your old classmate.
"Either he provoked someone in Africa, or...he wants to kill you."
He looked at Smith and expressed his guess.
"It can't be the second one. Harry and I have been friends for decades without any grudges."
Smith gradually calmed down.
After all, there is no danger at the moment, and these bugs seem to be sleeping.
Bina and Alice retreated a little further to the edge of the sofa.
"Oh, that means he has made some enemies. I think you should contact him first and remind him that this thing may have some resistance to flames. It is best to throw it into the incinerator."
Zhou Huayang reminded him, and the wriggling black insects on his fingertips gradually stopped and died silently.
While this guy sucked blood, he also sucked in a trace of divine energy. How could a mere black worm withstand this kind of power? The inside would be destroyed by divine energy in an instant.
He took out a tissue and wiped his fingers.
He then leaned over to pick up the bracelet and threw it into the black bag. "But leave the contents here to me. I'm quite interested in them."
This was the first time I encountered such a strange insect. It had a tough body and could suck blood, but it could actually suck away a trace of his divine energy.
It was also because Zhou Huayang had no control.
But this is a very surprising discovery.
Since it can absorb the divine energy, will it also have an effect on the warrior's internal energy?
