A whole body of snow-white star butterfly larvae drilled out from under the soil. Although there are differences in body size, they are not very different. There will not be a huge gap of less than one meter and another of more than five meters.
When he saw this, Gongjiayue was like a hungry beast that smelled blood. The excitement in his eyes was as real. The road to glory is paved before you.
The opportunity to turn over is just ahead!
Zheng!
The sword was unsheathed, and the work armor rushed straight towards the white worm closest to him.
"Catch them!"
At this time, Mu Yao also recovered from the excitement, and greeted the people under his command to start action. The ultimate purpose of their trip was these white worms!
The sharp blade slashed on the white worm, and there was no sharp cracking sound. The person holding the sword felt as if he had chopped down a tree full of dry and hard resin. Not a deep trace, even Mu Yao did not cut off the worm's body as he expected.
Just now he was able to cut off one of the giant eagle's toes with a single sword, but now, he can't even chop off this little white worm.
However, although he failed to directly cut the white worm in half, he also broke the worm's skin.
The white liquid flowed from the wound on the white worm's body and flowed all the way to the ground, seeping into the soil. When Mu Yao was about to continue slashing at the cut he just made, the white worm swiftly rolled to one side, avoiding the sword in Mu Yao's hand.
There are some white traces on the ground, which are blood from the wound on the star butterfly larvae. However, the blood soon penetrated into the soil, and Mu Yao, who had just cut the star butterfly larvae, found a rolling star. Butterfly larva, the wound on the body is no longer bleeding, and it is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The speed of their recovery is really fast!
It is difficult to break the skin, but also recovers quickly, and the action of dodging is also fast. Although these star butterfly larvae do not have large mouths or sharp long horns, they are very tricky.
A person not far from Mu Yao also noticed this situation, but just as he was about to say something to Mu Yao, a white shadow flashed in front of him, as fast as lightning!
The star butterfly larva that was cut by him just now had the front end of its body firmly attached to the ground, and nearly two-thirds of its body had turned into a thick white whip. Sweep over the man.
The man didn't expect that the seemingly inoffensive white worm would come so suddenly, and before he had time to react, the severe pain spread from the swept abdomen to the brain.
The star butterfly larva hooked the ground with three pairs of chest feet, twisted at an almost incredible angle, and pulled out the blow just now.
The person who was pumped flew directly out to a distance of about 30 meters, and after landing on the ground, he slid back for a distance before stopping. If there were grass and trees on the ground blocking him, he would probably have flown farther.
After landing, the man also curled his body into a shrimp, with blood spurting from his mouth, groaning in pain and unable to get up again.
Mu Yao avoided the "white whip" that was swept over. Although these white bugs were not very easy to deal with, they would definitely be hacked to death if they slashed a few more times.
The worker squatted down and touched the white marks on the ground with his hands, which were from a white worm he had just cut. Fingers ran over the soil stained with white blood, and three words "can't be used" suddenly appeared in my mind!
Gongjiayue suddenly shouted: "It's not blood!"
"What do you mean?" Mu Yao asked.
"It's not insect blood that can be used for forging!" said Gongjiayue.
Mu Yao was stunned by Gong Jiayue's words. Not blood? Didn't you say it was worm blood? tease us? ! Greetings to your ancestors!
"It's not blood, but it must have something to do with these star butterfly insects!" The work armor paused and said, "Use the net! Catch it first and then talk about it!"
Catch the bug first, and then slowly study what is on these star butterfly bugs.
After hearing Gong Jiayue's words, Mu Yao's anger subsided a little, as long as it was these worms, bloodless ones were left to the Gongjia family to ponder.
The net mentioned by Gongjiayue is not the net made of vines or straw ropes that the tribes often use, but the net made by Gongjiayue before his arrival.
Every thread on the net is a specially treated gold utensil, which is more flexible, but not easy to be broken. light! This made the Mu family and the Yi family astonished.
The people of the Gongjia family, who can be called "masters", have a lot of good things hidden, but they don't show them to others on weekdays. Gong Jiayue was also willing to take out his treasure because of the matter of the star butterfly larvae. This was invented and created by him. So far, no one else knows the forging method of this kind of mesh. This was also when Gongjiayue planned to take it out and compete with several other craftsmen to compete for Gongjia's house during the assembly of Gongjia's house. The trump card of the best craftsman!
Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for the meeting, but when the situation in Wangcheng changed, the Gongjia family was divided into several factions, and he was squeezed out.
Hearing what Gong Jiayue said, one of his slaves opened the large wooden box behind him, took out rolls of things wrapped in animal skins, opened the animal skins, and revealed a silver-white net inside.
Mu Yao did not waste any time and threw the net to others.
These nets are specially made by the craftsmen. Unlike those fishing nets, these nets are made for catching insects, eliminating many unnecessary parts, saving transportation space and load.
The open net covers the front of the body of the white worm, the net mouth is tightened, and the head of the white worm and a raised part behind the head are covered. In the hands of the net, they control the tightness of the net.
The white worm with its head covered did not stop moving forward. After a few rolls, it still crawled towards the mountain wall.
One person can't pull the white worm at all, so each net is pulled by six or seven people or more, or the net cable is tied to a nearby tree or stone, which saves a lot of effort.
"Quick, quick! There are others! Catch as many as you can!" The worker armor shouted anxiously. Because he found that the white worms that had burrowed out of the ground had no intention of fighting with them at all, but went straight to the side of the mountain wall, and even many white worms had already climbed up the mountain wall and quickly crawled up.
Although Gong Jiayue doesn't understand insects, the behavior of Star Butterfly on this scale is obviously not accidental, there must be some reason!
They have worked so hard to come here, not to see something unexpected!
Seven star butterfly larvae have been caught, and some people go to find vines and the like. After the star butterfly larvae are trapped by the metal net and struggle and tired, they use the vine instead, so that they can free up the metal net to catch more insects.
Some people also need to attract the attention of the star butterfly larvae, so that the person holding the net can easily get off the net.
In this way, the number of people who can use it is limited. Gongjia Yue turned to look at Yi Qi and Yi Cong who were watching from the battlefield. They were all surrounded by four or five slaves. Gongjia Yue wanted them to free up a few slaves to help. But looking at the two people who were completely uninterested in catching bugs, both of them frowned and stared at the square plate in their hands, ignoring the battle situation here at all. Seeing this situation, Gong Jiayue swallowed the words he was about to blurt out. Forget it, don't count on them.
Aren't the people from the Yi family anxious to find more powerful weapons before they came here? Why didn't you seem to care after getting here
"There are still too few people!"
But before, because I was not sure whether I could really find what I was looking for this time, and to avoid the sight of other people, I didn't bring too many people. I thought I would only find one or two, but now the worker is more regretful, If he had known that he would encounter so many star butterfly larvae, he should have brought an army!
Although there are many star butterfly larvae that come out, they are not all in the same place, and they are more spread out, which is one of the reasons why they are not very efficient in catching insects.
"Hurry up!"
Seeing that all the white worms that came out ran to the mountain wall, Gong Jiayue couldn't stand up anymore, he sheathed his sword, and followed to climb up the steep mountain wall.
Mu Yao and others did the same. They planned to get the white worms that climbed down, and then let the person holding the net below trap the worms.
However, they soon discovered that the mountain wall here is not so easy to climb, it is colder and harder than the mountain walls in other places, and the more you go up, the more difficult it becomes, and there seems to be a force that will climb up Any creatures are pressed back.
However, those white worms that climbed the mountain wall seemed to be unable to feel the pressure. Their backs arched into "Ω", then climbed up, pulled into "one", and then arched into "Ω". There are three pairs of legs on the chest, abdomen, and tail, but the hooked worm feet can make these cumbersome white worms crawling up against the mountain wall.
In contrast, Mu Yao and the others, who were chasing after them and climbing up, were much inferior.
That does not work!
Those worms crawl faster than them, and if they keep chasing like this, they will still be thrown away.
Gong Jiayue also realized this problem, looked at the mountain walls on both sides, and his eyes were fixed in one place.
"That fat one!"
Mu Yao looked over and saw a white worm not far away. Although the body length was similar, it was obviously thicker than the other worms. The other worms arched into a circle, and it arched into a ball. The flesh is thick and bloody, and it crawls slower than other worms. Who will catch it if you don't catch it? Maybe it can roll down the mountain wall with a single pick of the sword!
That's it!
"Catch that fat man!"
There are too many targets, their manpower is limited, and these star butterfly larvae are not so easy to catch, they can only come one by one.
I don't know if they were aware of Mu Yao and the others' intentions, but the fat bug that was staring at it accelerated upwards, making Mu Yao and his party stunned to fail to catch up.
Later, they stopped chasing the fat bug persistently. When they found a suitable place to rest, they stopped and rested for a while, replenished some food and water, recovered their physical strength, and then continued to climb the mountain. The steep hillside encounters a cliff-like mountain wall from time to time. If you can climb it, you can climb it directly. If you can't climb it, you can take a detour and find a place that is not so steep.
Mu Yao looked up and saw that they had already climbed a long distance, and further up, the mountain wall was covered with ice and snow, no green color could be seen, and the top of the mountain was still missing.
A gust of cold air rushed into his lungs, almost choking him. The wind is stronger and colder, but the mountainside is not even here. If you continue to chase up, you will encounter even colder conditions.
Mu Yao looked at Gongjiayue and knew that Gongjiayue would not give up, nor did he want to. It's rare to come here and encounter such a situation. Even if you can't catch more star butterfly insects, if you can know the reason why these star butterfly insects are climbing up, you may be able to discover more secrets, what treasures and so on. , that's worth it! Doesn't it mean that there are many treasures in this mysterious and dangerous place
Thinking of this, Mu Yao's heart was hot. Of course, the other people who followed Mu Yao also thought about it. No one complained. Although it was cold, they looked up eagerly.
treasure
What kind of treasure will there be
On the way here, they hunted a lot of beasts, and the skins they wore were the skins of those prey. The frost coverage will continue to expand, and their hair and beards will not be spared.
"How high is the top?"
Mu Yao sighed.
Just thinking about it, Mu Yao suddenly felt a strong gaze, and looked sideways. On the mountain wall nearly 100 meters away from him, there was an eagle, which was the one he had chopped on the ground.
However, now Mu Yao's target is those white worms. He has no interest in the eagle for the time being. He glanced over there and continued to climb up. .
"What are you looking at? Look at your eagle's head!" Mu Yao roared over there.
When the words were closed, the eagle stared at Mu Yao with sharper eyes.
Mu Yao was full of anger and angered, just as they were all hungry, it is better to kill an eagle in the middle, eat something, and then continue to climb up.
Just as he was about to instruct his subordinates to act, he suddenly heard an eagle chirping in the air.
call-
A strong wind blew down from above, knocking some small gravel off the mountain wall.
Mu Yao and the others squinted their eyes, looked up, and saw an eagle stopped on the mountain wall not far above them, holding on to the mountain wall firmly. Much smaller, but still huge compared to people. It was not an eagle, it looked young, its bill was not as curved as that eagle, and its claws were sharp and powerful.
However, Mu Yao's attention was not on the eagle. He looked up at a rock protruding from the mountain wall. There was a person standing there.
"Tribal people?!" Mu Yao asked.
"Flaming Horn?" Gongjia felt that the people above looked familiar.
Thinking of what the Yi family said, a light flashed in Mu Yao's eyes, "Are you Shao Xuan of the Yanjiao tribe?!"
When he was chasing down the Yanjiao tribe, Mu Yao was not in the main force, so he had never seen Shao Xuan. He just speculated based on what the Yi family said. Yi Qi and Yi Cong said that someone was following them, and Yi Cong also said with certainty that the person chasing after them was Shao Xuan of Yanjiao.
Shao Xuan didn't answer them directly, but said: "You guys are so brave, you dare to use a knife here."
Mu Yao, who was guarding Shao Xuan, shook his eyebrows, "Can't you?"
Shao Xuan glanced at Mu Yao and his group, "This is the 'place of faith' of the giant eagle."
Hearing this answer, Mu Yao and the others were stunned. Seeing how Shao Xuan was, it didn't seem like they were trying to lie to them.
Giant Eagle
What the hell is the place of faith
Isn't it the site of the Star Butterfly Insect? It turned out to be a giant eagle? How old is a giant eagle? Just like the one just now
Just thinking about the eagle, Mu Yao found the eagle resting on the mountain wall, flapping its wings and flying upwards. Moved, and then withdrew his gaze and looked up, without lowering his head.
Mu Yao felt that the moment he met the eagle's gaze just now, he seemed to understand the eagle's eyes, and it was saying: You, Tamar, wait for Lao Tzu!
