Xiaoyu took out the bamboo flute from her backpack, and took out a few transparent slices that looked like cicada wings and stuffed them into the sound hole of the bamboo flute.
"I tried to use the soul spell in Gu to hypnotize them. It would be best if I could control them."
Xiaoyu handed another packet of white powder to Chujiu. This packet of powder was mainly effective against insects. Once the golden armored heartworms were successfully controlled, Chujiu needed to sprinkle the powder evenly around the heartworms.
"Remember to hold your breath."
Xiao Yu once again reminded this medicinal powder that once inhaled into the body, it may damage the brain nerves.
"Don't worry."
The corners of Chujiu's mouth raised in great pride, he was the best at holding his breath.
"The sound the flute makes?"
Faced with my worries, Xiaoyu shook her head slightly and asked me not to worry with a chuckle.
Then the bamboo flute in Xiaoyu's hand was raised to his mouth. I only saw Xiaoyu's lips moving slightly, and bursts of air blew into the flute hole.
The flute did not make the sound I imagined, only the transparent sheet inserted in the flute hole began to vibrate slightly at a certain frequency.
I noticed that there were more and more dots of light like fireflies emanating from the black corridor walls.
After we exited the black corridor, nearly all the nearly a hundred light spots disappeared, leaving only scattered dots of light flickering faintly on the stone wall.
Only then did I discover that there were some small holes at the top of the stone wall, and these heartworms that did not emit light had gotten into the small holes.
I casually touched the stone wall next to me, and felt a cold touch on my hand. What kind of stone was this? It was obviously an iron ore.
It is beyond my imagination that the ancient Miao village could dig such a passage on an iron ore vein.
You must know that this passage, which is more than ten meters deep, will probably be difficult to complete within a few months, even with the most powerful drilling rig available today.
Moreover, I did not find any chisel marks on the smooth stone wall at all, so I have to guess that the ancient Miao village used the same digging method as I have.
Just when I was guessing how the ancient Miao village dug this cave, the heartworm that was originally lying on the stone wall seemed to suddenly become restless.
There were inaudible whining sounds, followed by more and more light spots flickering on and off.
Chujiu, who was less than two feet away from me, made eye contact with me and told me not to move. He blinked and turned his eyeballs upward slightly.
I instantly understood what Chujiu meant. There was a heart-loving insect not far above my head.
Judging from Chujiu's expression, this insect has not yet threatened my safety.
But I couldn't help but my heartbeat began to accelerate crazily. I held my breath and slowly turned my head while raising my head slightly.
On the stone wall a foot away from my head, I saw clearly the appearance of the golden-armored heartworm for the first time.
When I saw a little bit of light before, I thought that a certain part of the body of the heartworm would emit light like a firefly.
Only now did I see clearly that the shape and size of the heartworm are very similar to the seven-spotted ladybug, and that little bit of light is its entire body.
I began to wonder if this golden beetle appeared on the grass in the wild. I would think it was a seven-spotted ladybug and catch it casually.
The heartworm in front of me was indeed as manic and restless as I imagined. It was crawling around the hole in the wall that was as thick as a little finger.
The heartworm crawled faster and faster, and suddenly the wings on its back spread out and shook a few times.
The heartworm suddenly left the stone wall and flew in the direction above my head. Just when I was about to dodge, I saw Chujiu's eyes showing anxiety, and he shook his head at me desperately.
I gritted my teeth and controlled my urge to dodge, trusting Chujiu's judgment for no reason.
The golden-armored heartworm drew an arc above my head and flew towards the center of the corridor. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Chujiu lowered his voice as much as possible. In fact, there was nothing to be afraid of. As long as you didn't provoke them, they would not attack people.
Once they feel hostility, they will at least bite a small hole in your body.
There is a toxin in the teeth of the heartworm, which can cause coma. Of course, the toxin of a heartworm does not cause much harm to the human body. The most it causes is itching, swelling and pain on the skin.
If dozens or hundreds of them attack one person at the same time, the person will basically be unconscious for an instant, and then these golden-armored heartworms will start to eat the person.
Just when I thought with disdain in my heart, what kind of waves could even dozens of such big bugs make?
Chujiu continued to add that the size of the heartworm will increase with the food it eats, and at its largest it can be as big as a football.
I looked at Xiaoyu in disbelief. Xiaoyu, who was struggling to play the bamboo flute, nodded slightly.
There are more and more worms floating in the corridor, and all the worms gather together to form a large worm ball.
With the sound of the light rain whistle, the insect ball shrinks smaller and smaller. It can be seen with the naked eye that the insect ball is getting closer and closer to the ground as it shrinks.
Chujiu explained to me that he had read in books that the worms were in this posture when they hibernated, similar to the hibernation of snakes. They would stack up together to form a defensive posture.
Xiaoyu's face began to turn red because he had been playing the bamboo flute hard. I stared at the insect ball that was almost in the shape of a solid ball, knowing that it was the last moment.
Chujiu also understood the situation at this time. He took a deep breath and his expression calmed down. I understood that he had entered a breath-holding state.
Half a minute later, the light on the surface of the insect ball on the ground in the corridor became fainter and fainter, and Xiaoyu's eyes indicated that Chujiu could take action.
Chujiu opened the yellow paper bag in his hand, squatted half-crouched, and slowly moved towards the insect ball.
The bulging veins on Xiaoyu's forehead showed how difficult it was to control the heartworms at this stage.
As I was nervous and worried, Chujiu had already approached the insect ball. He shook the paper bag in his hand and slowly sprinkled the white powder on the insect ball.
The last glimmer of light on the surface of the insect ball completely disappeared. When Xiao Yu left the bamboo flute in his hand from his mouth, he turned towards me.
"Guo Guo, don't worry."
Chujiu returned from the corridor and checked Xiaoyu's condition. This was a sign of weak spiritual power. He was highly concentrated for a long time, squeezing the brain's ability beyond its original load. He recovered after taking a short rest.
Xiaoyu pressed the solar system with his index finger and thumb, and with the other hand he found a palm-sized white porcelain bottle in his backpack.
I grabbed the porcelain bottle from Xiaoyu's hand and quickly opened the cork, only to find that it was not pills, but half a bottle of thick liquid.
The strong smell of mint hit my nostrils, and my mind felt cool, and I felt energetic instantly.
Chujiu rolled her eyes at me and pointed the medicine bottle in my hand at Xiaoyu's nose.
If Guo Guo saved people on the battlefield, he would probably be accused of being a traitor just for his stupid skills.
