Chapter 461 Why Are You Here?

Yang Lei was aggrieved and left where he was.But he couldn't stay idle, he kept taking out one glass bottle after another from Shangguan Kangning's backpack, and observed the Gu worms inside.Chen Ziyang and Shangguan Kangning walked towards the direction of the hillside.

In order to ensure that the clothes that prevent body odor from escaping can last longer, Shangguan Kangning chose the strongest and thickest plastic sheeting when making the clothes. There was a rattling sound due to friction.

After walking a few steps, Chen Ziyang was annoyed by the voices behind him.He thought to himself, fortunately, insects like Diqing use their sense of smell to identify things. If they used their sense of hearing, they might be 800 miles away, and they would be startled by these noises, and they didn't know where they went.

"By the way, you haven't told me what the insects like Diqing look like? If one of them crawled on my body and you didn't notice it and let them run away, wouldn't that be a problem? Is it a big joke?" Chen Ziyang turned around and asked Shangguan Kangning.

Shangguan Kangning also slapped his forehead fiercely, and then he remembered that he hadn't said the most important thing. If he really missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Diqing is not too big. It is generally the size of a thumbnail. The whole body is black. The body is olive-shaped. The abdomen is flat and dark brown. There are horizontal stripes. The head is very small and almost noticeable. less than.

In addition, one of the most obvious characteristics of ground blue is that there are two thick antennae growing in front of their heads.These two tentacles are almost as long as their bodies, pointing upright, and densely covered with black fluff on these two tentacles.

I have only seen a specimen of caterpillar, never seen a living one.If you find caterpillars, you must not catch them by yourself, otherwise, it is easy to break their two antennae.

Diqing's sense of smell comes from those two tentacles. If they are accidentally damaged, it will be useless for us to find bugs after all our hard work.

I have a special tool for catching ground greens on me. If you find this kind of bug, please tell me immediately, and I will go forward to catch it immediately. "

It may be because of the inaccessible relationship here, the grass on the hillside is very thick, the growth is very dense, and it is also very high.The grass on the entire hillside is almost waist deep, plus some bushes, it is very strenuous to walk in such an environment.

The surrounding air is also very humid, and it is just dawn, and the dew on the grass leaves has not dissipated. After walking for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that his two trouser legs had been covered by the dew on the grass leaves. It got wet and stuck tightly to the body, which was very uncomfortable.

The most unbearable thing is that among the many bushes, there are some invisible spider webs.When walking forward, these spider webs will suddenly stick to people's faces and hair. In addition to being startled suddenly, Chen Ziyang feels the feeling of spider webs sticking to his face. Very awkward.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pick up a stick, held it in front of his body, and kept shaking it up and down as he walked forward. Using this method, he first destroyed the spider web in front of his body.

When he was about to reach the hillside, Chen Ziyang walked profusely in sweat. Sweating in this humid environment made him feel itchy all over. At this moment, Chen Ziyang remembered that Shangguan Kangning behind him was wearing a plastic cloth What would happen to the finished clothes, so he turned back and asked:

"Shangguan Kangning, are you comfortable in that dress? Will it be very hot?" After saying this, Chen Ziyang got the answer himself.

At this time, Shangguan Kangning's head was covered with sweat. In addition, there was a layer of tiny water droplets hanging on the inside of the plastic cloth clothes, just like when taking a bath, the mirror in the bathroom will appear. The same kind of.It seems that this kid is no longer a question of whether he is hot or not, but that he is going crazy.

Chen Ziyang shook his head, he admired this Shangguan Kangning a little now.He is really a Gu idiot, for the sake of the caterpillar, he can pay so much for ten consecutive years.

Now I already feel very sad, but Shangguan Kangning is still covered in an airtight plastic sheet, the stuffy feeling can be imagined, it is really not a human fault.But this kid has been able to hold back for ten consecutive years. His perseverance is so admirable.

After a while, the two of them came to the top of the hillside. This is a depression between two peaks, with an area of ​​about one square kilometer. It is neither big nor small.

According to the method that Shangguan Kangning told himself before, Chen Ziyang slowly walked back and forth in this open space, walking a spiral line along the edge of the open space, approaching the center of the open space little by little.

During this process, Chen Ziyang walked very slowly, and the helix he walked was relatively tight. After all, according to Shangguan Kangning's previous speculation, he could only attract Gu worms within a range of five meters, and he could only attract Gu insects within a range of three meters. The effect is the best within the range of the spiral line, so every time you walk the spiral line, the interval should not exceed three meters, otherwise it will not be easy to attract ground blue.

And Shangguan Kangning followed behind Chen Ziyang unhurriedly, his eyes never leaving Chen Ziyang's body.His eyes were full of passion, looking forward to the moment when he could see Diqing.

While Chen Ziyang was walking, he also paid attention to his surroundings, hoping to see the kind of bug that Shangguan Kangning described.But this morning, I have seen many strange insects that I have never seen before, but I have never seen Diqing.

The whole morning passed quickly, and Chen Ziyang was bitten by mosquitoes all over his body, and it was extremely itchy. At this time, he regretted his decision a little bit.Dare to love Shangguan Kangning, this is using himself as bait for bugs, just like fish food for fishing.

After the whole morning, Chen Ziyang felt that his greatest contribution was to feed the insects within a radius of one kilometer who had been hungry, so that they could taste the rare taste of human blood.

After working hard all morning, Chen Ziyang's stomach growled, he was really hungry.But hunger can only be endured, in order not to let the taste of the food scare the caterpillars, Shangguan Kangning greeted him before coming, if he wants to eat, he can only wait until night, during the search for caterpillars, there is no Can't eat.

Even the weakest food, under the probe of the caterpillar's tentacles, can feel the unusually strong taste, and these smells are something that Diqing has never smelled at all, so Diqing will definitely think that this is some kind of large-scale food. The animals came here, according to their little courage, they will definitely hide away.

"For the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang, for the happiness of Wang Lele and my daughter, I endured it." Chen Ziyang comforted himself like this, and continued to drag his heavy legs, walking around in this area non-stop .

The mosquitoes in the grass were startled one after another. During this day, Chen Ziyang couldn't remember how many times he walked around here. The only thing he could remember was that the caterpillars had never Appear.

Fortunately, insects like Diqing only come out to mate during the day, otherwise, Shangguan Kangning might let Chen Ziyang continue to walk here all night.

At this time, Shangguan Kangning was not much better. Chen Ziyang walked as much as he walked, and he was wearing very uncomfortable clothes made of plastic cloth.

Shangguan Kangning paid even more than Chen Ziyang. The only thing he was better than Chen Ziyang was that he was protected from mosquito bites because of his clothes.

When the sun went down, a small bowl of water could pour out of Shangguan Kangning's sealed trouser legs, and it was all his sweat that was caught by the plastic sheet.

When the three of them returned to the small village again, Chen Ziyang fell headlong on the wooden bed.Even though he hadn't eaten all day, he couldn't care less.He slept on the very uncomfortable hardwood bed before, but now in Chen Ziyang's eyes, he is extremely kind.The moment he touched the bed board, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The first day came back without success, the second day was the same, and the third day was still the same.Soon, five days passed. During these five days, Chen Ziyang felt that the road he walked could circle the earth, but he never encountered a caterpillar that was only one centimeter long.

Due to walking too much, Chen Ziyang's legs swelled very badly, and Shangguan Kangning also suffered from heat stroke and slight dehydration.The two of them were really tossed hard.

Shangguan Kangning's self-made anti-smell plastic cloth clothes are very worn out, and many places have been torn.These breaches were all sealed by Shangguan Kangning with scotch tape.

After a few days, almost every part of the dress was patched with scotch tape.It's as if the dress isn't made of plastic sheeting, but woven of scotch tape.

In the first two days, when Shangguan Kangning walked behind Chen Ziyang, his eyes were full of passion and expectation, but in the next few days, his eyes showed a trace of disappointment.

The appearance of Chen Ziyang brought him hope that he had never had before, but he did not expect that even with Chen Ziyang's help, there was still no trace of Diqing.

Counting the days, it is now the last day or two of the mating period of the ground caterpillar. If the ground caterpillar cannot be found again, it is likely that this year will be wasted again.

More than once, when sleeping at night, Yang Lei would look at the tortured Chen Ziyang and complain.

He thinks that it is very likely that Shangguan Kangning made a wrong judgment. Maybe this kind of insect is not like a Gu insect at all, and will be attracted by Chen Ziyang. Maybe there is no diqing in that place. It is very likely that this is Shangguan Kangning's. A trick to catch a coolie to help him catch bugs.

On the morning of the sixth day, the three of them still got up early and came to that area again.This one-kilometer area has been stepped on by Chen Ziyang countless times, and Chen Ziyang even feels that the grass here has become much lower.

It's already summer now, and the day is extremely hot. After walking all morning, Chen Ziyang, who is exhausted and has no way to eat lunch, feels that the stars are popping up in front of his eyes, and it will get dark from time to time. He knows that this has come to him The limit is reached, whether it is physical or mental.

Shangguan Kang, who was following him, was not much better. After walking staggeringly for a certain distance, he fell down in the grass, and he didn't know whether he passed out or was exhausted.

And Chen Ziyang, who was walking in front, was in a daze. He didn't hear the sound of Shangguan Kangning falling to the ground at all, and he didn't know what happened behind him. He was still walking forward and moving with his tenacious willpower. Two legs that seemed to be filled with lead.

After a burst of dizziness, the black shadow that appeared in front of Chen Ziyang's eyes from time to time suddenly expanded and continued. He passed out due to lack of energy.

Chen Ziyang and Shangguan Kangning fainted one after another in the area where they were looking for the caterpillar, while Yang Lei, who had been staying on the mountainside, couldn't see what was happening here, and was still studying there for himself. Shangguan Kangning's Gu worm.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ziyang felt a chill on the back of his hand, and he woke up suddenly.The first thing that appeared in his field of vision was Shangguan Kangning's face.

Seeing that Shangguan Kangning was by his side, Chen Ziyang wanted to support the ground and get up quickly, but at this time Shangguan Kangning waved to him to signal him not to move.

It was only at this time that Chen Ziyang noticed that the plastic cloth clothes on Shangguan Kangning's body had been torn off by him, as if the front of the clothes had been opened, revealing the sweat-wet clothes inside.And Shangguan Kangning had an unbelievable expression on his face, and his eyes were full of joy.

Feeling something cool shaking constantly on the back of his hand, Chen Ziyang moved his eyes down, and saw something like a cup was clasped on the back of his hand, and inside this cup , and two black beetles hugging each other tightly.

Recalling Shangguan Kangning's previous description, Chen Ziyang knew that these two insects should be the caterpillars that Shangguan Kangning had been looking for for ten years.

The two beetles hug each other tightly, their flat abdomens fit together perfectly, and the four antennae-like things on their heads are intertwined with each other, and some of the tentacles' hairs have already been twisted together.

Shangguan Kangning's hand holding the cup kept trembling, obviously very excited, the cup slid slightly on the back of Chen Ziyang's hand under the trembling of his hand.

"My God, I finally caught it. You two little things, why did you come here! If you don't come, I might die here." Chen Ziyang, who was relaxed, closed his eyes and passed out.
