The wind blew over the farm ground one after another, hitting the skin coolly, still as refreshing as ten minutes ago - but Lin Sanjiu hoped that the wind would stop and stop blowing.≥
Because for the first time in her life, she smelled the "smell of bugs" in the wind.
...I'm afraid not many people in the world know what the body odor of insects is like. This is really their luck.
After insisting on staring at the beetle for a few seconds, even the well-informed Lin Sanjiu couldn't help it anymore and finally lowered her eyes; if she continued to stare at the insect, she was afraid that she would
Will spit it out.
Her eyes fell on the ground of the earthen bridge. Even though the shiny and thick insect legs were still looming in the peripheral vision, Lin Sanjiu still felt a little better in her stomach. After a while, she took a breath and asked: "I
…Is there a time limit for my conversation with you?”
"Yes, each team member in each group can only talk to me for one minute. You don't have to say it if you want." The beetle didn't seem to notice her ugly expression, swaying the thin legs on its abdomen and said with a smile: "...But it's necessary.
Note that only one person can speak at a time, and they cannot speak together at the same time. If they speak at the same time, no matter how many people are speaking, they will all lose the opportunity to talk to me."
Hearing this, Lin Sanjiu quickly exchanged glances with No. 43.
"Is the purpose of your coming here just to eat us?" She calmed down and asked while thinking, "How often do you come here?"
Harry gave too little information, so he could only get it from the mouths of pests.
"Oh, it doesn't matter how often. I will come here as long as I'm hungry." The giant beetle moved its body, and the way its countless tentacles and thin feet swung was enough to make people's nerves tense. "...looking so beautiful like you.
Miss, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I want to eat you, but well - that's true."
"...How do you want to eat?"
"I am also a gentleman when I eat. I only take a few bites at a time. At most, you will leave a series of marks on your body."
That's what he said, but Harry reminded that every time he was bitten, he would lose one month of physical strength... If this "bitten" was counted as a "bite", then the danger would be really high.
Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked: "That is to say. The six people here - no, six buds, you only need to bite a few times every time you come here. It doesn't have to be on the same person, right?
?”
"That's right. But it's troublesome to bite a bud. If possible, I still hope to solve it in one place." The beetle rubbed the pair of thin legs at the top of its abdomen again.
"It talks about a place, not a person or a bud." Fang Dan's murmuring voice rang in his ears.
Indeed - Lin Sanjiu was immediately reminded by his subconscious mind. Beetle was unwilling to change places, but he did not say that he could not change people; in other words, the purpose of grouping is that everyone can bear the loss together without causing serious casualties?
As expected, it turned into a competition between groups... There were only two people on our side, so we took greater risks from the beginning and fell at a disadvantage.
Lin Sanjiu Nao didn't have time to clear his thoughts or come up with a solution, so he took the time to ask: "On what basis did you select the plant buds?"
"Basically, after dealing with you, I can make a judgment based on this." Beetle narrowed his eyes.
Saying it is the same as saying nothing - Lin Sanjiu started to get a little anxious. At this point in the conversation, there was still no progress at all. The bug was just going back and forth in circles; in fact, the information he told her was no better than
Harry said more.
"Tell me directly, what can you do to prevent us from biting us?" Lin Sanjiu became impatient and asked straight to the point: "...What do you want? Special items? Food? Or something else?"
"Oh, I'm just a bug, those things are of no use to me - ah, your minute is up, I almost let you pass by." As if he thought he was funny,
The huge beetle laughed tremblingly for a while, and its two long tentacles swayed in the air.
Although this result was not unexpected, Lin Sanjiu still cursed secretly in her heart. One minute was really not long, and she left it without asking anything. When she took a step back, she
Turning his eyes, he happened to fall on the earth bridge opposite - the four people stood up again at this time, looking at this side without blinking; except for the expressionless No. 47, the other four people stood up again.
Everyone, including No. 46, seemed a little uneasy.
Seeing the insect take a step towards him, No. 48's Adam's apple slid up and down, but his bare feet still did not move away from the ground, still pressed tightly to the ground.
The beetle's round eyeballs moved down and then up again.
Lin Sanjiu's conversation with it just now only lasted for one minute, which was obviously not enough time for No. 48 to come up with a countermeasure. He tried to ask several questions in succession, but they were all confused by the beetle just like before.
After a lot of confusion, apart from the unhelpful fact that "different sprouts have different tastes", it wasn't even as much information as what Lin Sanjiu got out.
"Well, wait, let me think about it." Seeing that he didn't have much time, No. 48 had sweat on his forehead, and unknowingly, his toes were sunk deep into the soil: "Damn it.
, the recovery of physical strength is too slow - yes, that’s right, it’s all about eating, just go and eat the other side, that’s okay, right?”
"Oh, it's time."
Beetle narrowed his eyes and laughed, and his round compound eyes as big as a human head turned around the two of them. "...Hey, actually I have already made my decision."
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu felt her heart skip a beat; when a shadow suddenly flashed before her eyes, her body had already reacted first - almost like a conditioned reflex, she moved backwards.
When he jumped, the [Tornado Whip] appeared out of thin air in his hand. He instantly rushed towards the shadow in front of him.
However, this time, [Tornado Whip] failed to stir even a single ripple in the air, causing the black shadow to approach; the next second, there was a sharp pain in her arm, which made her unable to even whip.
He took it and dropped it to the ground with a "snap".
It wasn't until Lin Sanjiu's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground immediately after the whip, that she realized the consequences of her sudden and drastic weakening of physical strength - her chest and abdomen were instantly as dry as if they had been
As if the fire had been burning for several days, her vision suddenly blurred; she wanted to move, but for a while, the only part of her body that could move was her trembling lips.
"49! Are you okay?" No. 43 exclaimed. He hurriedly crawled over to lift her head up and swept away the mud splashed on her face.
Lin Sanjiu blinked hard several times, and then slowly she could see a little more clearly.
"Actually, I'm not very hungry today," the huge beetle laughed and shook the shell on its back: "...because you are a beautiful lady, I only bit you twice. Oops.
.I have to say, you taste quite good, the leaves are crisp and fresh, and the juice is sweet..."
"Get out of here!" No. 43 was immediately irritated. He looked even angrier than Lin Sanjiu. He picked up his shoe and threw it at it - just when the shoe was about to hit the beetle, the beetle suddenly
He opened his back to block it, revealing an even more disgusting wrinkle underneath.
"Then, see you next time, Luo." The beetle didn't seem to care about this behavior, which wasn't even considered an attack, and spread its wings completely;
Lightly, he quickly turned around and flew off the earth bridge.
When the trace of it completely disappeared into the ground, Lin Sanjiu sat up shakily with her body propped up. Sure enough, the so-called one month of physical weakness was calculated based on one "bite" of insect bites - she originally
It's been a month since I've eaten a grain of rice, and I spent too much energy in the hole. In addition, I got bitten twice this time, and I almost couldn't hold on for a while.
"I'll help you, take off your shoes," No. 48 said, holding up her arm. Just as he was about to say something more, Lin Sanjiu beside him suddenly paused - and then,
The low cheers coming from the earth bridge on the other side reached their ears at the same time.
"Sure enough, it's that group that bites!" The high-pitched voice undoubtedly belonged to No. 45. She said excitedly, "No. 46's method really matters-" and was immediately interrupted by a voice belonging to No. 48.
He was stopped: "Stop talking, be careful they hear!"
"******," No. 43 cursed immediately, "What method did they use? Why do those guys change their minds so quickly about this kind of thing?"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't utter a word at this time, and naturally couldn't answer him. He rested on the spot for a long time, and then took off his shoes and socks with difficulty. After doing only this little thing, he had already let him go.
She was out of breath, her chest heaved violently for a long time, and then she finally recovered a little.
Seeing that she could move more or less, No. 43 helped her to the edge of the fence so that she could rest against the wall. Lin Sanjiu frowned and stared at the gradually darkening sky for a while, and then finally spoke weakly.
"You just said...that they are quick-thinking about this kind of thing?" Her voice was so thin that it seemed like it could dissipate in the air at any time, but she still maintained it: "...What do you mean?"
No. 43 was stunned, obviously not expecting that her first question would be this.
"This..." He hesitated obviously, and after glancing at Lin Sanjiu, he finally spoke as if to explain something: "I know that I am not smart and have an impulsive temper, so after I left
After moving back home, I have always warned myself that I must keep everything in mind and not get close to others, just for fear of suffering a loss."
"The reason why I told you this is to tell you that it's not that I intentionally hid it from you - it's just my habit." No. 43 sighed, "When I was in the hole, I was holding on to
Your rope relied on you to lift me up... I couldn't exert any strength at that time, so I could only kick my legs back and forth. I happened to kick a large piece of soil down, which made me see clearly.
What’s underneath.”
"What?"
"...a human leg." No. 43 swallowed, obviously not liking the scene that came to his mind: "The remaining part is still buried in the soil, and nothing can be seen. I, I was scared at the time
I jumped. When I wanted to take a closer look, you just happened to pull me up a little - although I just took a quick glance, it seemed that the man's legs were wearing a pair of dark blue pants."
Dark blue…
Even though Lin Sanjiu's brain was feeling heavy due to lack of physical strength, he immediately thought of the missing No. 44 - he was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans.
"I didn't kill No. 44, and it certainly wasn't you who killed No. 43." The veins on No. 43's forehead twitched. "... Thinking about the situation at that time, needless to say, someone must have felt that there were too many people. Purity
The water beads were not divided enough, so they secretly killed No. 44 - I guess it was No. 47 who did it - you see, when it came time to regroup, that guy immediately switched sides and went to No. 46's side!"
Lin Sanjiu frowned. She vaguely felt that she could put two broken clues together; but what exactly were the two clues, and what conclusion could be drawn when they were put together. She was in a daze at the moment.
My brain can't figure out the answer at all.
"But no matter what, that's over." No. 43 calmed down and said in a calm tone: "...What puzzles me most right now is what method they used to prevent the insect from going away.
Bite them."
Logically speaking, if you want to avoid being bitten by bugs, there are only two ways: one is to make the opponents in the other group look more delicious than yourself; the other is to make yourself "less delicious" - after all, you have nothing to do with bugs.
The method of making deals has been denied by the giant beetle himself. And thanks to Harry's unreasonable rules, they don't even have any means to compete or bargain when facing the bugs.
Thinking about the group No. 46, they must have used some means to make themselves "unpalatable" - Lin Sanjiu thought slowly.
...The sun has gradually tilted towards one side of the sky, and the wind, which is about to enter dusk, is wrapped in a much stronger coolness than before, hitting the skin in waves.
Perhaps it was because she put her bare feet on the ground for a while, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell clearly, but she did feel a thin stream of warmth, tickling and flowing through her blood vessels, which made her feel a little better.
Just a little bit.
Since the discussion for a while could not produce any results, No. 43 lay down on the earth bridge in a daze with a frustrated look on his face. Lin Sanjiu slowly raised his body and stood up, putting all the weight of his body on it.
On the earthen fence, I looked towards the earthen bridge of the group No. 46.
She originally had the intention to find out something, but when her eyes swept over it, she immediately came to nothing. The four people on the other side were very cautious. At this time, they all sat under the earthen wall without even raising their heads.
When another gust of wind gently blew onto his cheeks, Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly moved for some unknown reason, as if a certain sense noticed something - looking around, there was no one in the hallucination figure at this time.
After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes.
With the experience of using "pure touch", when she now intentionally focuses all her mind on a certain sense of hers, that sense will become extremely sharp and clear——
This time, this move did not disappoint her either.
As the soft wind blew against his cheeks, a familiar smell was gently filling the air - Lin Sanjiu had not smelled that smell for at least five or six years, so he was suddenly attracted to it.
She had doubts; however, after sniffing again, she immediately squatted down and shouted: "43!"
"Huh?" No. 43 raised his head from the ground.
"I think I know how that group avoided being bitten by bugs..." She said in a low voice: "I just smelled a smell - which world are you from? In your hometown, is there a place called
Fengyoujing stuff?”
"Ah, yes, yes!" No. 43 sat up: "My hometown is the 'Honey Swamp', and we also have Fengyoujing there!"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
"It turns out they put wind oil essence on their bodies, no wonder!" No. 43 cursed and laughed. (To be continued.)
