Chapter 462 The Journey in the Primitive Jungle

Just after the team of six entered the territory of YN Province, Shangguan Kangning once again drew a tube of blood from Chen Ziyang's veins.

This is not the first time Shangguan Kangning has done this. After he reached an agreement with Chen Ziyang, Shangguan Kangning drew a tube of blood from Chen Ziyang's vein.After the blood was drawn out, Shangguan Kangning knew that the cause of the problem should be in Chen Ziyang's blood.

Because after he drew out this tube of blood, the Gu worms carried by Shangguan Kangning became restless again, and the degree of restlessness was even worse than before.Obviously, after the blood left Chen Ziyang's body, without the barrier of muscles and skin, the smell in the blood became stronger, and it was easier to attract these Gu insects.

From that day on, Shangguan Kangning began to use the blood to feed the two caterpillars he caught, as well as some rare Gu worms he carried.

After all, Chen Ziyang is an ordinary person, his blood is not unlimited, if the amount drawn in a short period of time is too large, it will easily cause damage to his body, and Yang Lei and Taoist Xiaoyuan do not allow Shangguan Kangning to do this .So the blood that Shangguan Kangning got was limited.

Also because of this, apart from feeding ground caterpillars, he can only feed limited blood to some rare Gu worms.

There are two reasons for the rarity of Gu worms. The first is that the protozoa that are refined into Gu worms are relatively rare, or they are more difficult to catch, just like caterpillars.

And the second reason is that the success rate of refining protozoa into Gu worms is very low, often tens of thousands of insect protozoa can be refined into a Gu worm.These two reasons lead to the very rare number of some Gu worms, and such Gu worms are usually the most useful, and are the favorite of Gu masters.

Every time Shangguan Kangning drew blood from Chen Ziyang's veins, Chen Ziyang felt a burst of fear.Because he found that Shangguan Kangning's eyes were full of greed when he saw the blood, and he even felt that Shangguan Kangning's saliva was much more than the blood drawn by him.

But this can’t be helped, there are dozens of bottles in Shangguan Kangning’s backpack, and each bottle contains more or less Gu worms. Counting, there are probably a thousand Gu worms, big and small. This little blood is simply not enough for these Gu worms to consume.

In addition to Chen Ziyang's blood, Shangguan Kangning also found some strange herbs to feed the caterpillars.Green worms are considered half-gu worms, and their characteristics are very close to those of Gu worms, so the cultivation method is much simpler. You only need to feed some rare plants and get in touch with them more.

In addition to these things, Shangguan Kangning often collects the sweat of several other people and himself, and feeds these things to caterpillars.

According to him, there is a reason for this.The caterpillar is very timid, and the smell emitted from the human body is very strong. Under the antennae of the caterpillar, one can feel a very strong smell, which makes the caterpillar very scared.

After all, the current green worms have not been completely refined into Gu worms, so these things still have inherent disadvantages.Only by feeding the sweat of several people to caterpillars regularly can they be familiar with the smell of each person, can these insects slowly give up their wariness on several people, and can let them focus on other people's sense of smell. on the smell.

Only in this way, when the six people went deep into the primeval forest, could these green caterpillars be able to distinguish other smells, so as not to be affected by the smell of the six people.

More than 20 days have passed since the six of them arrived at the edge of Gaoligong Mountain after leaving Guizhou Province.

During these 20 days, Shangguan Kangning fed most of Chen Ziyang's blood to the caterpillars.

Judging from his experience in raising Gu for so many years, anything that Gu worms are very interested in will definitely enhance the characteristics of Gu worms.Taking such things for a long time, the Gu worms that rely on the sense of smell can have a sharper sense of smell, and the Gu worms that can secrete Gu poison may secrete stronger Gu poison.

With the strengthening of Chen Ziyang's blood, the sense of smell of the caterpillars should be much sharper now, and it should be a breeze to use them to find the scent emitted by the female insects of the sun and moon worms.

Although it is already summer, some places in the mountainous areas of Yunnan are still very cool, even a little bit cold.

The six people put on mountaineering equipment and carried mountaineering backpacks, and followed several teams to the depths of Gaoligong Mountain.

There are a lot of people hiking this season, probably because they are tired of the ordinary life in the city, and hiking has gradually risen in recent years.

And because it is very dangerous to be alone in the wild, many hikers go to explore together in groups to visit unknown areas.This is very attractive to them, and the six people mixed in such a team are not too conspicuous.

Chen Ziyang had already marked the location of the dot on the map. According to the direction of the location, the team of six followed some other expedition teams.

During this process, the most depressing thing was the two caterpillars captured by Shangguan Kangning. These two caterpillars can be said to have left the isolated place, and they smelled more smells now than they had in their entire lives.

The two caterpillars hid in the bottle and shivered, and their two thick antennae were curled up on the abdomen of the caterpillars together with the other legs.

There's nothing they can do about it, after all, there are too many smells nearby that they haven't smelled before, and these smells are reflected in their minds, making them irresistible and powerful enemies.

In addition to the smell of some strangers, there are also a lot of delicious food and other things, which the two caterpillars have never smelled.

The bottle containing the caterpillars is specially made by Shangguan Kangning, which is specially made to catch caterpillars. Although this bottle looks the same as other glass bottles on the surface, it is actually a high-tech bottle. The product is expensive.

The wall of this bottle is covered with densely packed small holes. These holes are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye alone. Therefore, in the eyes of people, this kind of bottle looks like an ordinary bottle. glass bottle.

But in fact, this kind of glass bottle can not only protect the caterpillars contained in it, but also allow various odors to penetrate the bottle without hindrance, and be felt by the caterpillars' tentacles.

It may be that with the nourishment of Chen Ziyang's blood, the ability of these two worms to feel the taste is stronger. Therefore, along the way, the appetite of the two worms has dropped a lot, and they can't live normally at all.Keep curling up at the bottom of the bottle.

The herbs that Shangguan Kangning fed to the two worms were not ordinary herbs, they were very rare herbs carefully selected by him, and these herbs had only one purpose, that is to prolong the mating period of caterpillars.

The living habits of insects like Diqing are very strange. They only take the initiative to smell the pheromones emitted from other insects when they are in the mating period.If the mating period is over, the caterpillar will consciously choose to turn off this function.

This is also the characteristics of the caterpillars, that is, their characteristics as Gu insects, and the main purpose of refining Gu is to amplify the characteristics of Gu insects infinitely.

With Shangguan Kangning's training, it can be said that in a short period of time, the green worms can still smell the pheromones emitted by other insects. This is still not fully trained into Gu insects. If Di Qingcheng is refined into Gu insects, it will The two bugs could smell the pheromone at any time.

Perhaps because of the promotion of Chen Ziyang's blood, the male, one female and two caterpillars captured by Shangguan Kangning had a second mating in that special bottle.This is absolutely impossible for wild caterpillars.

Insects such as caterpillars mate only once a year, and the probability of successful mating is very low, which is why this kind of insect is rare.Unexpectedly, with the help of Chen Ziyang's blood, a miracle appeared on these two bugs.

It may be because of this that now Shangguan Kangning simply obeys Chen Ziyang's words. In his eyes, Chen Ziyang is undoubtedly a saint.After all, his blood can produce very miraculous effects on Gu worms.This is exactly what Shangguan Kang Ning, who is a Gu Master, cares about the most.

As time goes by, the team of six people is getting closer and closer to the depths of Gaoligong Mountain. Along the way, there are fewer and fewer donkey friends. After all, it is too dangerous to go deep into the depths of Gaoligong Mountain. , is very easy to get lost, and is also vulnerable to some poisonous snakes and insects.

Those who have never been in the mountains do not know how terrible the mountains are.In the past, some people would scoff when they heard someone lost their way in the deep mountains, thinking that those who got lost were all fools, who couldn't even tell the direction. when.

But in fact, this is not the case, especially in some virgin forests with high mountains and dense forests, this kind of thinking is simply ridiculous.

When walking forward, people can climb some cliffs, but when these people want to go backward, they have no way to climb down anyway.

Because when a person climbs up, he can jump up with the strength of his legs, but when he climbs down, the strength of his hands is far from enough, and he cannot support long-distance movement at all.

This also leads to many cliffs that can be climbed up but cannot return the same way.It is precisely because of this that the team in the mountains and forests is easy to get lost, because once they cannot return to the original road, they have to change the direction of walking, and it is easier to get lost.

In some dense forests, there is no way to tell the direction, and even the sun cannot be seen.It is very dangerous to advance in such a place without rich experience, which is why many hiking teams do not want to go deep in the mountains.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyang and others picked up a treasure, that is Shangguan Kangning.As a native of Guizhou, Shangguan Kangning is very familiar with the mountains, especially he often travels between Yunnan and Guizhou to find some rare bugs, so he is now the guide of the whole team.

Where can I find food, where can I find water, and what is the safest way to go? The other five people obey him.

The few people in the team suffered a lot and walked for a long time in the dense jungle. They didn't know how many rivers they waded and how many mountains they climbed. Finally, they came to the edge of the dot on the map. From here, The keen sense of smell of caterpillars is needed.

Along the way, Shangguan Kangning has become familiar with the smell of the two caterpillars, and he has also established some connections with the caterpillars. Basically, he can tell the relationship between the two little guys by the behavior of the caterpillars. No weird fresh smell anymore.

Now the two worms have almost been trained. In addition, there are few people around, and the two worms are already familiar with the smell of six people, so the two worms have returned to normal. With various smells.

Whenever there is a change in the Didi caterpillar, Shangguan Kangning will always lead the team to the direction that emits a strange smell.But many times, everyone found that the smells that the geocentric worms smelled were all smells that they had never smelled before, and these smells were not emitted by the females of the sun and moon nose worms.

"His grandma, these two bugs are killing me now, I want to crush them to death. These two bugs seem to have never seen the world, how can there be so many smells that I haven't smelled before."

When the team discovered that the smell that caused the caterpillar to move this time was just a rare poisonous snake, Yang Lei said cursingly.

Although the other people didn't have any complaints, they were all tormented. Every time the green caterpillar moved, everyone had to walk a long way to the mountain. After all, this kind of bug's sense of smell is too keen. Changes occurred every few tens of kilometers.

Now the biggest enemy of the six people is not those Gu worms that may exist in Yuan Tiangang's treasure, nor is it impossible to find out where the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang is, but this mountainous area, the primitive jungle in the mountainous area.

While discovering new things by relying on the caterpillar's sense of smell, while constantly correcting the direction, the team slowly approached the center area of ​​the dot on the map.

After breakfast that day, the team was still moving forward slowly, and at this moment, Shangguan Kangning found that the caterpillars had moved again, and this time the reaction of the two insects was much stronger than ever before.

Such a violent reaction was second only to the reaction of the two bugs when they ate Chen Ziyang's blood.Suddenly discovering such a change, Shangguan Kangning was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

And the rest of the team also felt that it was very likely that the two bugs had caught something extraordinary this time.
