Retarded is not enough to describe Snail Traveler.
Despite all the joy, the snail was still the same snail. Shen Cong quickly gathered his mood and followed the Snail Traveler. He continued to tease the big snail from time to time, but the big snail's attitude became a little cold and the number of responses decreased.
unconsciously.
We have left the Yimeng Mountains and arrived at a relatively flat place, probably between Laicheng District and Gangcheng District, which belongs to the location called Lixin Town on the map.
Not long after walking, something surprising happened to Shen Cong. He and Snail Traveler walked northwest along the corroded railway track, and unexpectedly discovered the Sophora japonica that was walking steadily at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Dragon Claw Sophora's speed is too slow.
Walking a day is no more than one hour walking for others.
"When Dragon Claw Sophora japonica and Snail Traveler meet, I wonder what will happen. Snail Traveler will treat Dragon Claw Sophora japonica as food?" Shen Cong observed curiously.
These two behemoths might be able to create infinite sparks.
Just after Shen Cong saw the Sophora japonica, Snail Traveler also saw the Sophora japonica, and immediately felt that it exuded bits and pieces such as "delicious", "so big", and "a moving tree". active wave.
Dragon Claw Sophora japonica, on the other hand, exuded two active waves of "found" and "move forward", and did not find the snail traveler, or did not care at all.
The snail traveler speeds up and crawls towards the Sophora japonica. Two minutes later, he catches up with the Sophora japonica.
At this time, sensing the terrifying pressure of the Snail Traveler, Longzhaohuai finally woke up from his own world. I saw the main tree root dragging on the ground, squirming like a snake, and then suddenly plunged towards the ground, quickly piercing deep into the ground and fixing itself.
Countless branching roots were also fixed on the ground in turn, raising the branches originally used to support walking, as if they had instantly transformed into a towering tree.
Countless filamentous fibrous roots grow in the wind, preparing the strongest defensive posture.
Shen Cong could feel that the active wave of this locust tree contained very strong "danger", "defense" and "intimidation" emotions. It was obviously extremely nervous.
Seeing that the Sophora japonica can transform, Snail Traveler was shocked. He did not dare to approach the Sophora japonica easily, but just circled around the Sophora japonica.
From time to time, emotions such as "Who are you", "How big are you", "Are you delicious", "Big tree", etc. are exuded.
in this way.
The locust tree took root and defended nervously; the snail traveler circled around each other, asking "How do you like it?" from time to time. Two behemoths, whose lips are incompatible with each other, naturally cannot communicate with each other. But Shen Cong, who was observing from the sidelines, learned a lot of new vocabulary.
The snail-cicada language, the dragon-clawed locust tree-cicada language, are perfected bit by bit.
After a moment of stalemate, the snail traveler, who received no response, took action. He decisively stretched out his radula and began to enjoy the Sophora japonica and try new ingredients. However, as soon as the radula stretched out and touched the branches of Sophora japonica, it was entangled with countless silky roots, frantically drilling into the flesh of the radula to suck blood.
Poof!
The snail traveler was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He exploded on the spot. He jerked his tongue back and retracted his body into the volute like lightning. Then the abdomen and legs exerted force, and suddenly it was like a bucket rolling on the ground, rolling crookedly and far away.
Longzhaohuai gave it such a tongue thrust, which looked very cruel.
So after two minutes, the snail traveler stretched out from the volute and no longer dared to approach the Sophora japonica. It's just that he seems a little unwilling to leave.
After Longzhaohuai dealt with the snail traveler, he seemed to find his confidence, regained his nervousness, and began to release active waves of "find..." and "find..." again.
…
Half an hour later, Longzhaohuai said: "Found it."
So he pulled up the roots of the tree, returned to his previous state, and started walking slowly. This time, the team has grown stronger. I don’t know what Snail Traveler is thinking, but he is also walking with Dragon Claw Sophora, plus Shen Cong, Donkey Kong, Four-legged Dragon, and if you include the King Kong ant colony behind him.
This is definitely a huge team.
The huge team headed northwest along what was probably the Shanshen Line Highway. They had to accommodate the Dragon Claw Sophora japonica, so the speed was very slow.
Shen Cong simply walked around and studied his own experiment - studying insect warriors.
He picked up the corpse of a bug warrior on the battlefield in the early morning. Now he is dissecting and studying it, and the most important thing is to study the bug core. He had killed people before and chopped off gold cores, but this was his first time dissecting a corpse.
When the hand holding the knife passed through the hard body tissue, he heard the sound of the knife cutting through the bones, and he actually trembled a little.
Fortunately, he has a strong psychological quality. Looking back on the TV series he has watched, forensic autopsy is as simple as routine. In "iZombie", the heroine even makes a living by eating brains, frying, boiling, roasting, and frying them, and enjoys them.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. It's no different from dissecting animals in normal times." Shen Cong calmed down for a moment, and when he held the knife to dissect again, he had returned to his usual calmness.
The laptop was put aside, the camera was pointed at the body, and the voice recorder recorded.
"The body shows no signs of turning into gold. The source of the insect warrior's power does not belong to the evolution of metal... The insect core is located on the left shoulder. It is shaped like a blood sore, about the size of a walnut, red to purple, and oozing slightly. There are pathological vascular tissues around it. , extending into the muscles... "
After picking out the insect core, Shen Cong studied the insect core carefully.
"The insect core is active and radiates to the outside. The form is similar to the active wave of aerosol bacteria. It has no specific talent value. This insect core is not a whole, but the product of the aggregation of countless parasites. It seems to be the corpse of a dead parasite. It is formed by accumulation. The insect core activity wave gradually weakens along the blood vessels."
Shen Cong put a part of the insect core under the microscope for observation. He is now quite proficient in the use of microscopes. He has learned a lot from studying in the eastern theater and self-study.
If you have money and are not afraid of breaking the experimental equipment, you can develop your operational skills no matter what.
Adjust object distance and magnification.
The composition of the insect core was soon discovered.
"Sure enough, there are countless parasites piled up together. Most of them are dead parasites, and some are living parasites... The shape of the parasite is oval, with wrinkles on the outside, long legs, and The bristles at the front end... this shape looks very familiar."
Shen Cong immediately pulled out the medical encyclopedia catalog from the USB flash drive and found information about parasites.
He soon got the answer he wanted from it. The parasite image he observed was similar to the image of the common human parasite scabies mite recorded in the data. The parasite in the core of the insect should be a variant of the scabies mite. It is countless times larger than the scabies mite, so it can be observed so clearly.
"Basically, it is certain that this parasite is a mutation of scabies mites. Scabies mites can cause scabies, and this parasite forms a nucleus. The nucleus is where eggs are laid, died, and corpses are piled up, and is a breeding ground for larvae. Adult worms are Using blood vessels and entering various parts of the human body, it seems to be able to stimulate the strengthening of human tissues, but the specific reason for the stimulation is not yet known.”
Most of the night was enough for Shen Cong to obtain a lot of information about the insect warriors.
Immediately, a lot of questions arose, the most important of which was how the scabies mite mutant stimulated the body to strengthen, turning an ordinary person into a powerful warrior with the power of more than a dozen cattle.
Maybe it can serve as a reference for Shen Cong to improve his combat effectiveness.
Looking at the watch, it was already half past eleven at night.
Suspending research, Shen Cong tidied up the laboratory: "It takes a lot of time. Let's put the experiment aside for now and catch up with Longzhahuai first." (To be continued.)
