Chapter 460 Capturing Diqing
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that the alternative method proposed by Shangguan Kangning was very reliable, and the possibility of success was relatively high.

Although I don't know if the female Gu worms of the sun and moon nose worms left in the treasure can still emit that smell after so many years, but this is beyond my control.As long as you do everything you can do, take into account all possible situations, and think of a way to deal with it, the success of the rest depends on fate.

So Chen Ziyang agreed, and promised to help Shangguan Kangning to find the worms, but then he thought of another question, and asked Shangguan Kangning:

"Our time is much less, more or less. If we help you find the ground green worm, how long will it take you to refine the worm into a Gu worm? If you don't refine it into a Gu worm, Is there simply no way to capture the smell?"

"It usually takes a long time to refine a Gu worm, but fortunately, the bug we are looking for is a green worm. If you don't have much time, I can use it directly instead of refining the green worm into a Gu worm." Protozoa, as long as you pay attention to the method of use, the effect will not be bad.

Diqing is a very special kind of insect. In the circle of Gu people, this kind of insect is called half Gu insect.That's because among all the insects that can be refined into Gu insects, the characteristics of this insect are the closest to Gu insects. Even for refining, half a month is enough, unlike some refining Very difficult worms, it would take several years to refine them into Gu worms.

This is why I asked you to help me find this kind of bug, and it is also because the characteristics of this kind of bug are very close to Gu worms, so I guess, since other Gu worms are interested in you, then this kind of bug Bugs are sure to be interested in you too.

According to what you told me before, I judged that there must be something on your body, or some smells that the Gu worms especially like, so it will cause the restlessness of the Gu worms. To rush to you.

But I think your things that attract Gu worms can only attract Gu worms, and cannot attract worms that have not been refined into Gu worms, right? "

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang nodded.What Shangguan Kangning said is indeed correct. Ever since Shangguan Qing found out that he can cause the restlessness of the Gu insects, up to now, only the Gu insects brought by Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Kangning will have restlessness, while the other normal Insects have no such response at all.

During the more than ten days of searching for Shangguan Kangning, the five people crossed the inaccessible mountains.In these mountains, there are really countless insects. Although I have been bitten by mosquitoes many times along the way, and also by some other insects, the other four people have been bitten by insects no less than myself.

So from this point of view, in the eyes of other ordinary insects, his attractiveness is only average.Indeed, as Shangguan Kangning said, only Gu insects are interested in themselves, and are attracted to something on themselves within a certain range, while other ordinary insects do not have this kind of mutation.

"It seems that my guess is not wrong. If we think about it this way, the possibility of us being able to catch the ground green worm is even greater. The ground green insect is almost a natural Gu insect, and their characteristics are very similar to the Gu insect, so These bugs will definitely be attracted to you."

Having said this, Shangguan Kangning's eyes lit up, and then he thumped the armrest of the stool. It seemed that he was really excited.

It's no wonder that Shangguan Kangning has been looking for ground caterpillars for ten consecutive years. During these ten years, every year at this time, he has to travel across mountains and rivers to come here. Come back with success.

But now the appearance of Chen Ziyang made it possible for him to get the caterpillar, and the possibility was even very high, so it was no wonder that Shangguan Kangning made such an excited move.

The three talked for such a long time, and the night was already very late, because they had to get up early the next morning to catch bugs, so after discussing some details, Shangguan Kangning and Chen Ziyang took them to rest .

In order to prevent the Gu worms from becoming agitated again, Shangguan Kangning stayed far away from Chen Ziyang when leading the way, and even the room he arranged for Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei was very far away from the room where he lived.

There are more than a dozen houses in this small village, and there are only about [-] villagers, so several houses are empty, and there are quite a few places to live, but they are all very simple.

Even so, it was much better than sleeping in the wilderness. Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei had nothing to criticize, after all, they had beds to sleep and quilts to cover.

It may be because the wooden bed is too hard, it is difficult to fall asleep, or it may be because there are too many things on his mind, he can fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow, and Yang Lei, who snores loudly, rarely suffers from insomnia.

"Er Yang, do you think Shangguan Kangning is lying to us? In fact, he has other methods to capture the smell of sun and moon noseworms, or he has no way to do this at all. The reason why he The purpose of bringing the caterpillars in is to use you and want you to help him catch the bugs he hasn't caught in ten years."

"It's not impossible, but judging from Shangguan Kangning's tone and his speed of answering questions, I think what he said should be very credible.

His logic is very clear, and what he said is also reasonable. I guess the possibility of him deceiving us is relatively small.Besides, even if he cheated once, so what.

He is a friend of Taoist Aunt Xiaoyuan, and it seems that the relationship between the two of them is relatively good.Even if we are cheated, we will do a friend a favor, and we will not lose anything, at most we will lose three to five days.Compared with the inability to catch the smell of the sun and moon nose bug, these hours are really nothing.

If there is no way to make a breakthrough here at Shangguan Kangning, maybe we will have to look for the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang with the naked eye. In that case, it will be very difficult to find the treasure, and it will take more time. It may not be found at all, so investment these days is still necessary.

Don't think about it, you are exhausted these days, and you haven't had a good rest, hurry up and sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow. "

Although Chen Ziyang persuaded Yang Lei in this way, he couldn't sleep at all, and kept thinking about why he attracted Gu worms.After careful analysis and comparison, he put the reason on the tree demon's heart.

Back then in the Bohai Underground Palace, both Yang Lei and Sanshi Shuai had inhaled the red mist emanating from the dragon's blood strain, but the difference between him and the two of them was that he had injected a dose of it when he was salvaging the Bailang Pill. .

According to instructor Liu, the mist emitted by the dragon's blood strain or the extract of the dragon's blood strain will remain in the human body. If there is too much, it will cause the person to fall into a state of madness, and in severe cases, it will explode. body and die.

From this point of view, if the thing that attracted the Gu worms was really the dragon's blood strain, when Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai walked into Shangguan Qing's room together, those Gu worms could not have moved at all.

Even if two people smoke less, there are not many residues in the body, and the time has passed for a long time, they should still attract a small number of Gu insects that are relatively close to them.

So from this point of view, the thing that attracts the Gu worms is not the dragon's blood strain, so there is only one tree demon's heart that I have eaten before, but I don't know why these Gu worms are so big on the tree demon's heart. Reaction.

At four o'clock in the morning the next day, Shangguan Kangning woke up Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei before dawn.Although the two of them didn't have enough rest, but considering that there was still a long mountain road to go, they had no choice but to grit their teeth to wake themselves up.

While on the road, Shangguan Kangning did an experiment, he kept changing the distance between himself and Chen Ziyang, in order to judge how close Chen Ziyang was to attract the reaction of Gu insects.

After repeated experiments, this distance was fixed at about five meters, that is to say, within five meters around Chen Ziyang, Gu worms would mutate.And the closer it is, the crazier the Gu worm will be, and the shorter the time for the mutation to appear.This provided some information for Shangguan Kangning to make a plan to catch caterpillars.

The three of them waded through a small stream, climbed up a cliff, and walked along the rugged mountain road for a long time. By the time Shangguan Kangning signaled them to stop, more than three hours had passed.

This is a mountainside, the slope of the hill is not very steep, it seems that this is the place to catch caterpillars.

Shangguan Kangning pointed to an open space not far ahead, between two peaks, and said, "Five years ago, I found a carapace molted by a caterpillar on the easternmost side of this mountain range.

Three years ago, in the area between the two peaks in front, I found the carapaces of two caterpillars at one time, so I estimate that the possibility of finding the caterpillar in the front is the greatest.

However, I have been looking for this area for the past two years, but I have not found anything. Now I hope you two can bring me good luck. "

"The place is already here, how are you going to catch this kind of bug?" Chen Ziyang asked out of breath.

Shangguan Kangning put down his backpack, and then took out some large balls of white plastic sheets from the backpack.It was only after he unfolded the large group of plastic sheets that Chen Ziyang realized that it looked like a piece of clothing.

This is a piece of clothing made entirely of plastic cloth, which made Chen Ziyang think of the kind of dustproof clothing in the laboratory first.But it is obvious that Shangguan Kangning's clothes are not dustproof clothes, because the clothes are very rough, without the high-tech feeling, and it looks as if he made them himself.

At first glance, the dress looks like a hooded jumpsuit with no placket, no zipper, no cuffs and no trouser legs.Except for the hood, the whole piece of clothing is actually sealed. The only way to wear this piece of clothing is to get the whole person through the hole in the hood with the elastic band.

While struggling to put on this weird dress, Shangguan Kangning said to Chen Ziyang: "Insects like Diqing have a very keen sense of smell, and this insect can use the smell to determine the location of other insects that emit odors.

So in Diqing's world, except for the place where they are, other places are covered with all kinds of insects, like a little sheep getting into a pack of wolves.

It is also because of this that insects like Diqing are very timid, to the point of being ridiculous.

In order not to be discovered by other insects that surround them, Diqing lives underground all year round and feeds on some grass roots and tree roots.Although this kind of bug is omnivorous and likes to eat some other insects, they dare not appear on the ground to catch other small insects.

Only during the mating period, these bugs will climb out of the ground. One reason is to mate, and the other reason is to catch some insects that can secrete pheromones to provide nutrients for their reproductive offspring.

And this time period is very short, there are only a few days in a year, and now it has entered the mating period of the ground green. If it is counted, it will take another week at most, and the mating period of the ground green will be over.

The human body also emits a strong smell. If the ground green smells the smell of people, these insects will hide far away, which is why this kind of insect is very difficult to catch. "

Speaking of this, Shangguan Kangning had already put on that weird dress, and this time Chen Ziyang saw the true face of the dress.

The whole outfit was like a jumpsuit, except that it was all joined together with gloves and foot covers, all made of plastic sheeting.After putting on the clothes, Shangguan Kangning pulled the elastic band on the hat, completely wrapped his head, only exposed his face, and put on a mask.

"In order to prevent Diqing from smelling my body, I specially made this dress, but it still emits a small amount of smell. Although this smell is not detectable by humans, it is very obvious under Diqing's nose.

This kind of clothes is the only one, so your friend can't go up with us, but can only stay here, I'm afraid he will scare the bugs away.

You don't need to wear this kind of clothes. Your smell should be very attractive to Diqing. My plan is also very simple. I will leave you a certain distance, and you will walk slowly in front. follow behind.

If Diqing smells your body, it will definitely approach you, and even climb onto your body. I can see it not far away, and that is the time to catch Diqing. "

Chen Ziyang nodded, took off his backpack, threw Shangguan Kangning's backpack at Yang Lei's feet, and walked up the hillside.
