Chapter 227
Xiejun's pounce does not mean that he wants to hurt me, but it is a sign of anxiety.

The evil king didn't let me control the iron donkey anymore, he pulled me up forcibly, pointed at the magic cauldron and said, "Quick, what's the delay, call out those bugs."

I know what he means, since the gold and silver worms are the nemesis of the konjac flower, we quickly let them be guards to prevent the konjac flower from attacking again.

The problem is that the iron donkey's illness can't be delayed.I was tangled up for a while.Xie Jun looked at my expression, as if he understood something.

He snorted, and without waiting for me, he took out his small trumpet, found the tone, and started blowing.

His small trumpet also had a miraculous effect. When stimulated by the sound, the gold and silver insects really flew out of the magic cauldron, but they looked very irritable, forming a grimace pattern, and rushed towards the evil king immediately.

Xie Jun is not stupid, he knew that his trumpet sound was counterproductive, so he hurriedly stopped the music.But those gold and silver bugs didn't relax, they were still galloping.

Xie Jun was a little frightened, and yelled at me, "Leng Shijie!"

I was stimulated and knew that if I didn't make a move, the evil king might be in danger.I took out the insect language flute and played it beeping.

Once the irascibility of the gold and silver worms dropped a lot, they became sluggish again, and the grimaces disappeared.

They spread out and took out a guard.I was amazed again and again, because I had come into contact with gold and silver bugs once before. How long have I been playing the flute?Only then did they become obedient, and this batch of bugs seemed to be easier to domesticate.

I guess this generation of bugs has evolved again, just like wolves and dogs. The previous gold and silver bugs were like wolves, but now the gold and silver bugs are more like dogs.

I am very happy.Xie Jun asked me not to stop blowing, he slowed down, and boldly approached a gold and silver bug, stretched out two fingers, and pinched it lightly.

The gold and silver bug was under control. It twisted its body in discomfort and wanted to bite Xie Jun, but Xie Jun was paying attention, and it was impossible to be bitten by it.

He brought the gold and silver worm to the iron donkey and told the iron donkey not to move.After that, he let the gold and silver worm slap the iron donkey's neck hard.

The iron donkey grinned in pain, but what I saw was a tight heart.Because I know that gold and silver worms are poisonous, so if the evil king does this, won't he harm the iron donkey?

But the iron donkey is really cheap, and suddenly showed an intoxicated expression, while rubbing his neck, he said it was really fucking comfortable.

I understand, and I also think of a word, "fight poison with fire."

I secretly praised Xiejun for being spicy, and thought that since the gold and silver worm is also the nemesis of konjac, how can it be afraid of the poison of konjac flower?
I leaned next to Tie Donkey and continued to play the flute of insect language, and kept an eye on Tie Donkey from time to time to see his body condition.Otherwise, just based on my guess and the iron donkey's cool sound, it is not enough to prove the scientific nature of fighting poison with fire.

But Tie Lu soon stopped crying, and his complexion gradually recovered, not so pale.

The evil king won't let us rest and continue walking.I absolutely agree with what he said this time, and I said if I don't leave, my cheeks are swollen from playing the flute.

Along the way, there were indeed a few blind konjac flowers protruding from the small hole.These must also be the warriors among the konjac flowers, but they were miserable. They were bitten by the gold and silver insects as soon as they jumped on us.

These konjac warriors all withered and died on the road.

We are not interested in dead konjac, and we don't stay here. After going so deep for 200 meters, the white spots on the cave wall are gone. In other words, we have stepped out of the konjac zone.

I thought it was time for us to rest now, especially let me rest my cheeks, but another weirdness appeared.

There are dots of golden light in this cave. Looking around, there are more in the distance. It feels like seeing the stars in the sky.

I guessed, because I've seen this phenomenon myself.Every golden light is a golden beetle. I was quite puzzled, and I also remembered something by the way.

In the case of Qiemo Shi Kingdom, when the bandit leader Aimati saw the golden beetle, he was once terrified and shouted that it was the messenger of Xiandao.

I didn't quite understand what he said at the time, but now that I have a closer look, Aimati has connections with Jiuniang and the zombie thief, and the latter two have connections with Chen Shiyu.

In this way, whether it is the Holy Land or the Corpse Country, the strange species we encountered when solving the case are all inseparable from the Ghost Island, and it is even possible that Chen Shiyu took them away from the Ghost Island.

I don't have time to think too much about these trivial issues.The gold and silver bugs I controlled became uncontrollable after seeing these golden lights.

They took out a drugged posture, scattered around frantically, and hunted down the golden light like food.

These golden lights are very powerful, they are all poisonous gold beetles, but they can't fight the evolved gold and silver bugs, and they really obeyed the saying, big fish eat small fish, who cares if there is a relationship between them, to fill their stomachs Besides.

Because I couldn't play the flute anymore, I let these bug babies go wild.I put the flute away and waved my hand at Xie Jun, which means don’t force me to continue playing the flute. If you don’t like me, I’ll lend you the flute, come here!

Xie Jun also understood me, and didn't blame anything, but looked at the scene in front of him, he laughed again, and said something good luck!
I don't understand what it means, and I thought that those of us who have come so far have been injured more or less all over the body, how can we have a posture of good luck?

Xie Jun didn't explain much, grabbed the flashlight from the little man's hand, and shone it into the distance.I also looked along, vaguely, I saw something lying on both sides of the cave in the distance, there seemed to be quite a few things.

The evil king beckoned us to rush over, and we all acted together with curiosity.

This distance was soon over. When I got close to these things, I had an unbelievable urge to blink quickly, and felt too horrible.

These were dead pregnant women one after another. They were short in stature, and they looked like dwarf natives, but their stomachs were all swollen, and their bodies were covered with maggots.

These meat maggots are fat, with pointed shells on their heads, and their bodies are yellowish in color.I know, this is the larva of the golden beetle.

Xie Jun had a special feeling for these dead bodies, and squatted down with a smile, looking at them.

I don't have the hobby of Xiejun, and I don't want to take a second look.I mean, they're dead bodies anyway, let's not waste time, let's move on.

I mentioned this to Xie Jun, but Xie Jun didn't respond.But the iron donkey and the old cat seemed to see something, and squatted beside the evil king in surprise, carefully observing the dead body.

I thought to myself, what's wrong with these two brothers?Suffering from a cerebral palsy?If you want to see the female corpse, don't look at it at this time, wait until you can return to the police station alive, slide show, corpse bank, whichever they want, can't they all be fine?

I went over to feed it, right as a reminder.

But just after the voice, I found that the female corpse reacted, it opened its eyes slightly, but closed them again soon.

I was stunned and said to my mother, this is not a dead person!Iron Donkey also immediately sighed, saying that this is the originator of the living corpse, right?

I understand the meaning of the iron donkey. I have met zombie fighters, like Pulsatilla and Demon Heart Arhat, all controlled by Yinyin, and then I met zombie robbers.Weird people like them were all transformed by the day after tomorrow, and the technology of transforming them must have referred to these pregnant living corpses.

But at the same time, I also have doubts, how do these pregnant women with living corpses not eat or drink, maintain their lives?
I asked a question, and the iron donkey couldn't answer anything.The old cat didn't speak, and didn't know if he couldn't answer or was too lazy to answer.

Xiejun ignored me at first, but after a while, he sighed, pointed to the larva of the golden beetle and said, "Here is the answer you want."

I know the theory of parasitism, for example, worms drill into the human body and grow up slowly by absorbing human nutrition. Could it be that the larvae in front of me are doing the opposite?They are not parasitic, but provide nutrients to the living corpse?

I made this guess, and Xiejun said that I was only half right. The larvae and living corpses are indeed in the relationship between parasite and host, but unlike the traditional parasitic model, there is also a co-evolutionary relationship between them.

He took these two examples again. The larvae of the golden beetle live on the pregnant living corpse. In order for it to evolve to an ideal place, it has to provide nutrients to the host in the opposite way. Even the golden beetle will come to feed on a regular basis. , to ensure that the larvae are not starved to death, and the food chain here is very simple, the food source of the golden beetle must also be the konjac flower.

In addition, the pregnant female corpse provides a place for the larvae, and it enters a pseudo-dormant state, but it can be supported by the food of the larvae, slowly raise the fetus in the abdomen, and give birth to it.

And these fetuses have been affected by the weak toxicity of larvae for a long time, and they will also mutate more or less, and their body bones are much stronger than normal people.

When Xie Jun said this, he inadvertently looked at the two dwarfs.

I have been listening with all my heart, and at this time, it was like a sudden epiphany, I understood a lot of things at once, and I was even stunned by this incident, and I said in my heart, my God!
