"Is it the poor ice worm?"
Hearing Simu's exclamation, everyone present stared with confusion. Why had they never heard of this thing
Russell was also surprised. It was not that he didn't know about this. On the contrary, he was surprised because he knew about this.
Isn’t this thing from “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles”
"Yes, it must be, I won't be wrong!"
Simu vowed, "Ah Jiao once said that her dream was to raise a group of Naiqiong ice worms, because these creatures are the nemesis of Miaojiang Gu worms."
The average things in the world are mediocre, and the extreme things are extraordinary, either the most poisonous, the hottest, or the coldest.
The Naiqiong ice worm has reached the extreme of ice. One of them can cause a person's body temperature to be imbalanced, and they often live in groups.
They gather in groups and look particularly beautiful under the sunlight. If they encounter an obstacle, they only need to touch it lightly and the obstacle will be frozen into an ice sculpture and then turned into ice chips.
After hearing the detailed introduction, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Russell inexplicably, "Hey, the look on your face just now, do you know him?"
He discovered his blind spot. When his junior nephew Russell said that this thing was a poor ice worm, he was obviously thinking about it and seemed to recognize it.
But he had never been out of the house, and this thing was extremely rare. If he hadn't heard Gillian talk about it before, Simu himself wouldn't have known about it.
How did my junior apprentice brother know this
Looking at the four puzzled eyes, little Russell widened his eyes and said, "I don't know, I didn't, you saw it wrong!"
The skilled triple denial made Simu blink, and he soon came up with a very reasonable guess in his mind.
Although Russell does not have the memories of his previous life as Wu Hou, he has the inheritance. Maybe it’s in the inheritance
Well, that should be it.
Simu nodded, bent down, and broke off a small wooden stick from somewhere, picked out the Naiqiong ice worm, and the other end of the stick was visibly covered with frost.
The skinny monkey and the woman ran to Liu Heizi's bed with great joy. No matter what, the final result was good, as the master woke up.
Simu touched his chin with his left hand, and held the Naiqiong Ice Worm in his right hand, observing it.
Russell also stared at the ice worm in a trance. How could this tiny worm possess such a strong icy power
If you raise two more, you’ll have endless amounts of ice cubes in the summer!
Tsk tsk, how can a bug reproduce
Thinking about the Hehuan Gu he raised, Russell suddenly had a bold idea. Both of them are insects, so there should be no problem between insects and insects!
He sighed and suddenly thought of his old acquaintance Xiao Xiaosheng. Things would be much easier if he had a master at raising insects like him.
Every profession has its specialties!
Raising the Gu is left to Xiaoxiaosheng, raising the zombies is left to Simu, raising the little ghosts is left to Zhe Gu, and raising the female ghost is left to Luo... cough cough cough.
Just as Russell was daydreaming, Simu discovered his blind spot again. He tilted his head and thought, "No, no!"
"This is in the Yangtze River. I remember that the Neiqiong Iceworm is in an extremely cold place, which is at least 108,000 miles away from here. How is it possible?"
The more Simu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. A rare creature like this needs to grow in an extremely cold place. If it were brought out, the living environment would be extremely poor and it would not survive long.
"Idiot!"
Russell rolled his eyes and said, "This is an era of technology. We have ships. Do we still need to walk to an extremely cold place?"
Ship
Simu was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing. He had heard of this Western thing, but he rarely sat there and actually overlooked it.
My little nephew is smarter!
Li Chengyu at the side finally found a topic to talk about. He nodded repeatedly, with a look of emotion on his face, "Yes, yes, that big ship emitting black smoke is fast, but it's a pity that it's too expensive."
His Li family is considered a wealthy family in Renjia Town, but they are inferior to others in the provincial capital, not to mention the outside world.
Ships are truly luxurious items, and even with the huge amount of money allocated by the previous dynasty, there were only a few of them.
Although he didn't know if that huge sum of money was more than the expenses for the Old Demon Queen's birthday party, it was certainly not something a businessman like him could afford.
Speaking of this, Simu couldn't help but be silent. They could see people fleeing along the way. The war situation outside was becoming more and more chaotic, and no one knew when it would end.
"Uncle Master, can you see any other problem?"
Russell was squatting on the ground at this time, carefully observing the residue that Liu Heizi had just vomited out. To his surprise, there was nothing.
Liu Heizi's strange behavior over the past few days was really caused by a small bug!
Although it is a poisonous insect, it is still quite powerful.
Simu shook his head. Russell couldn't see it, and he didn't find much either, but he also had a good idea.
That is to ask directly.
"Sister, is there anything unusual going on at the Liu residence these days? I heard from others that a girl came to cause trouble a few days ago."
The person Simu was asking was none other than Liu Heizi's wife. Although Liu Heizi had woken up at this time, he was still very weak and lay on the bed unable to speak.
It's not his fault. He was probably frozen to death by the ice worm, and the doctors gave him a lot of medicine, and the Taoists and monks gave him a lot of talisman water. It's good enough that he's still alive!
"Who are you calling big sister?" When Simu called her big sister, the woman glared at her and put her hands on her hips, ready to retort to Simu.
Unexpectedly, she saw Russell looking at her with a smile, and his hands quickly took off his waist, looking dignified and elegant, just like a lady.
"Master, there have indeed been some unusual things happening in the mansion these days."
The woman pondered for a moment and said, "A servant said that he could see shadows moving in the mansion at midnight, and there were also footsteps, but when he pushed the door, he couldn't see anyone."
"And the pigsty, where they kept more than a dozen pigs. They were fattened up every day just to be slaughtered for the New Year, but they were all gone overnight!"
As she spoke, the woman could not help but gnashing her teeth in anger. If there hadn't been other people present, she would have put her hands on her hips and cursed.
It’s not that the Liu family is short of money, nor that they can’t buy pork, but they just can’t buy good pork.
Pig farmers are generally poor people who can’t even feed themselves, so how can they raise good pigs
What is good? It’s fat and big. It can produce two taels of oil when put into the pot. When you bite it, your mouth is full of fat. The taste is amazing.
Lean meat is the most disliked. It is hard to chew and gets stuck in the teeth. One pound of lean meat can't even produce half an ounce of oil.
She had taken good care of the big fat pig weighing over 100 pounds for three or four months, but it was all gone, not even a pig's hoof was left.
This thief is so annoying. He should at least leave me a leg as a token of his appreciation, but he stole everything!
When Simu heard this, he gradually understood what was going on and asked, "What's going on with that girl?"
Speaking of the girl, the woman's face suddenly became embarrassed and she stopped talking.
The skinny guy at the side interjected, his face flushed, "That girl said my father was possessed by a ghost, but we didn't believe that at the time, and she was young, so we kicked her out by mistake."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Russell. It turned out that people's abilities really cannot be measured!
Simu was speechless. Looking at the Naiqiong ice worm in his hand, he probably had guessed something in his mind.
Liu Heizi summoned a ghost outside. The girl happened to see it and wanted to catch the ghost, but was coaxed away by Liu's family. She left in anger.
He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. The Liu family's perspective on people was really...
Alas, being cautious is sometimes not a good thing.
Simu and Russell exchanged glances, "Any ideas?"
"Go check the pigsty."
Simu nodded, "Okay!"
He turned and walked out the door. Behind him, the skinny monkey hurriedly called out, "Master, do you know where the pigpen is?"
"Know."
Simu was also very clear about the location of the pigpen, because in addition to raising zombies, he also raised some pigs, sheep and cows. Over time, he had gained some experience.
Sure enough, after walking around in the yard, Simu led Russell through the garden and came to a remote backyard, where there was a very large pigpen.
To be precise, this is just a row of houses at the back that was temporarily converted.
Russell looked at it carefully and nodded seriously, "There are indeed traces of ghosts. Strange, what kind of ghost would eat pigs?"
This is totally unheard of, could it be a tiger ghost
"Hey, you don't know this!"
Simu smiled proudly, "The ones you met in Renjia Town before were all little ghosts, all ordinary."
"Hehe, I've encountered a ghost before!"
Russell smiled contemptuously. He was now a master ghost hunter and had encountered many ghosts.
"That's just normal, born very recently." Simu explained, "The world outside is too big, there will always be some evil spirits that survive, and over time, they will develop some strange abilities."
"The abilities of those evil spirits are so bizarre that it is hard to guard against them. If we don't target them in advance, even a geomancer will fail!"
Simu smiled obscenely and took out a book with a yellow cover from his arms, "This is a book about evil spirits that I have written based on what I have seen and heard over the years."
"The original price was 99,000 yuan, and the current price is 9.9 yuan. Young man, buy it. From now on, the responsibility of protecting the world will be handed over to you."
Russell: …
Do you think I'm an eight-year-old kid
He rolled his eyes, turned around suddenly, and stretched out a soul-catching rope in his hand. The long rope was as fast as lightning and went straight into the shadow of the corner like a locking technique.
There was a roar, and a dark shadow was pulled out, making strange noises under the sunlight.
Soon, waves of black mist spread over the surface of the shadow, and the shadow actually withstood the burning of the sun.
It tried hard but couldn't break free from the rope.
Russell's eyes flashed with surprise. It was indeed the old ghost. He turned around and grinned at Simu, "Uncle Master, this evil ghost is not that great!"
Simu looked at the soul-catching rope in Russell's hand with a bitter face, forgetting that Russell was the beloved of the ancestors and had a top-notch ghost-killing weapon in his hand.
Grandmaster, please favor me!
I really can't bear to be his uncle.
