The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 325 Snow Octopus

This situation was definitely beyond my comprehension, so in an instant, my feet went limp and I almost fell to my knees.That feeling is too scary. How would a normal person react when they find that the light below them suddenly starts to glow?I think it's definitely not a novelty, but a horror.My first reaction was: there are fireflies drilling into my underwear.

But in this world of ice and snow, where did the fireflies come from?What's more, I just stood up from the hot spring lake. Even if there were fireflies, I should have drowned long ago.At this moment, the feeling of unknown objects hidden in the private parts gave me a psychological itching feeling, and an urge to scratch.In order to understand what was going on, I immediately turned to one side, turned my back on Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren, pulled down my underwear and looked down, I was going to collapse after watching it.

Nothing, no hiding from fireflies, it's really my dick that's glowing!
Damn, I think I'm going to be the first person in history to be scared to death by my dick.

My actions obviously caught Zhou Xuanye's attention, and he said in surprise, "You... hey, you young people are really full of energy."

Fuck, where did I go!

Just as I was about to say that I had become a light stick, suddenly, I saw that the light seemed to be contagious, and slowly spread to my whole body. After a while, my thighs and abdomen all lit up for a while. Dim light.

Now Zhou Xuanye finally didn't say any unreliable words, my light is too conspicuous, I can't even ignore it.On the other side, Tan Ren, who was still playing the role of Shui Piaozi, swam back again, with a surprised expression on his face, and he was a little far away from me. He said, "What's going on? Did you encounter something?"

At this moment, I thought of the ice cave during the day, and the plants and ice walls that glowed in it.

At this moment, the fluorescent light constantly spreading on my body is exactly the same as the light in the glacier during the day.

Could it be that the light is still contagious?Although that incident was strange, we didn't mention it to Tan Yan and Tan Ren because we were all busy on our way. At this moment, it happened so suddenly that I was really caught off guard, so I immediately told about the incident in the glacier.

After I finished speaking, I almost became a mobile light stick. The light is not always bright, but similar to fireflies, bright for a while, dim for a while, the light is not very strong, but a layer of dim light , but in this darkened night, it is quite eye-catching.

I raised my arm and looked at my skin carefully, but I didn't see anything stained on it. Even if it was stained with some luminous substance, I soaked it in the hot spring lake for more than half an hour. It should be gone, right?
What the hell is this?

"Glowing plants, like Tianshan snow lotus? Brother, have you heard of such a thing?" Zhou Xuanye asked Tan Ren after hearing the words.Tan Ren frowned and thought about it, and said something after a while.

There are quite a few isolated ancient books in Sanziguan. Since they are all scattered folk books in the past, they are not precious, and the recorded things are also very miscellaneous.Tan Ren has seen a kind of thing called 'octopus in snow' in a handwritten ancient book called "Miscellaneous Notes of Yunshan".

This is the original words, translate it, it means that this thing is very small, in today's words, it should belong to a kind of microorganism, living in the land where the snow does not melt all the year round, after being contaminated with human skin, the human skin will slowly peel off , and finally the skin is chapped and difficult to heal.In today's words, this kind of thing is probably a kind of parasite. You can't feel pain when it is contaminated on the body, but it will slowly erode the human cuticle protective layer, and finally make the human skin fragile. Broken, chapped inch by inch, difficult to heal, people will die in a state of extreme pain.

This kind of snow octopus is nocturnal, and when it is active at night, it will have weak fluorescence.

"Yunshan Miscellaneous Notes" describes that this is a rare insect, and where it is located, there must be a rare treasure. Yuan Taoist Kun Wuzi once obtained a "Dongpu grass" by virtue of this.

According to legend, Shennong had the ability to taste all kinds of herbs after eating Cavewort, which made his abdomen transparent and able to see the internal organs.

Tan Ren said: "Perhaps the thing on your body is the octopus." After a pause, he looked at me contemptuously, and said, "My son, Kun, at least found a plant of 'Craftsia sativa with the octopus. ’, you’re welcome, you came back covered in worms, but you didn’t even see half of the treasures of heaven, material and earth.”

I thought to myself that it was not because I had a high level of enlightenment. At that time, I saw that plant was weird, and I had never seen it before. I thought it was a strange new species.When a new species is discovered, nature should be protected, how can it be destroyed casually?

Zhou Xuanye said: "No wonder, according to your description, the snow lotus you saw should be of a different species. I have never heard of it. It is right not to move it. There are some things that you don't know how to take randomly, but spoil the treasure. But , now is not the time to discuss that thing..." He said and looked at Tan Ren: "Brother, how can you get off this thing on him?"

"Salt." Tan Ren spit out a word.I know that salt kills a lot of bacteria, but I didn't expect it to work on something like this microbe.

The salt we carry is not much, it is a small jar sealed in an airtight jar. Salt looks like a small thing, but it is actually the first of the five flavors. No matter how much seasoning a dish has, it is useless without salt. If people don’t eat salt , shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, and then exhaustion.Now if I want to get rid of the snow octopus on my body, it is estimated that a small half of the salt in the sealed jar will be used.

I mixed a pot of salt water and wiped my body, and sure enough, the fluorescence disappeared on the area where it was wiped. This reminded me of Estelle. She also went to that place with me. Will she be the same as me at this moment?
I have Tan Ren to help me, there is no serious problem this time, but if she doesn't know how to kill the snow octopus, wouldn't she want to...

But my worry seemed unnecessary, because in the middle of the night, two figures suddenly appeared outside our tent.Because the camp lights were hung outside the tent, the two figures were drawn very long and projected on the tent, like two ghost shadows, which startled people.

Who is outside?

At this moment, I thought those monsters had gone and returned, so I grabbed the telescopic tube in the equipment bag above my head, and Zhou Xuanye who was next to me also quickly pulled out the ghost sword. Before we could go out, a familiar voice came from outside. voice: "Sir Su, let us in quickly."

This, isn't this Estelle's voice?

How did she come back?
I froze for a moment, and immediately opened the tent, and sure enough, I saw Estelle standing outside. In the dim camp lamp, her hands and face were blue from cold, her lips were purple, and she was trembling.Standing next to her was that sad-faced fat man who said to me when he saw me: "Oh, little brother, take us in quickly, we two are out of luck."

How did these two people go and come back?

We were carrying a four-person tent. After we piled up the equipment, there would be no room for many people in the tent, let alone the figure of Fatty Ma.I saw that the two of them had nothing on them, they were covered in snow, and they were quite cold, so I quickly put on clothes, crawled out of the sleeping bag, stood outside the tent, made room for the two of them.

"Yes, is there hot water?" Fatty Ma stammered with slurred speech. During the day, this fatty was pretty good at talking, but now he is like this.Judging from the situation, I knew that the two of them were freezing. I was too lazy to boil hot water at the moment, and the fuel was tight, so I scooped up hot spring lake water for them to make do with.The two drank a few sips before they seemed to recover.

For the two people who went back and forth, Tan Ren obviously didn't welcome them, and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Fatty Ma said: "Hey, don't mention it, I almost died, you ask her." He pointed to Estelle.

The girl Estelle was quite honest, she sneezed and said, "When we went back, we met bad guys and almost got killed."

bad guy?

I asked, "What villain?"

Estelle huddled in the tent with her knees hugged, tremblingly talking about what happened after the breakup.

When the two returned to the camp to collect the tent, they found the food left by Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, and they were very moved.Because they were afraid of those monsters, the two didn't dare to stay longer, so they packed up their things and walked back.

But after walking a few steps, a person suddenly walked over in the wind and snow.

It was a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard, carrying an equipment bag, and walking alone, which looked very eye-catching and strange in this snowy area. Estelle is a very honest and kind person. After the three of them met, she saw that the man was walking forward, so she stammered to remind him that there was a monster ahead, and briefly talked about the surprise attack on her team.

Young and middle-aged, bearded, walking alone, I immediately knew who it was.That kid Yang Ming was really ruthless, and he followed up again.

After listening to that kid, Yang Ming probably also heard that we were involved with Estelle's team, so he asked Estelle about our whereabouts.Fatty Ma is more sophisticated, he felt that this person was abnormal in the snow mountain alone, and he showed an unusual interest in us, he had a delicate mind, and knew that this person might be bad, so he said he didn't know.

It's a pity that Estelle, a foreigner with a straight-forward personality, is obviously not used to the intrigue of the Chinese. Instead, she exposed Fatty Ma's words: "You know, they went north. We just broke up not long ago."

Fatty Ma rolled his eyes and muttered: Idiot woman.

Yang Ming heard that he gave Fatty Ma a meaningful look, and asked Estelle, "Are you familiar with them?"

Estelle thought for a while and said, "No, I only know Su very well, and Su and I are friends."

"Friend?" Yang Ming thought about these two words, and said with a smile, "Then can you show me the way and lead me to him?" Estelle was honest, but not stupid, and said, "They went north, You keep going north, speed up, and you can catch up with them, why should I lead the way?"

What Yang Ming wanted to say, Fatty Ma was not happy, and said in a choked voice: "I said, what are you doing, why are you asking so much? Let me tell you, the three of them, Xiao Su, are also my friends. You are so sneaky. Yes, it makes you uneasy and kind, what are you supposed to do, don't ask nonsense."

Fatty Ma is quite righteous. Before, he thought we didn’t care about their life or death, but after seeing what Tan Ren and the others left, he knew what was going on, so he helped us make an agreement at that time. I want to give him great power.

During this back and forth, the two of them almost started fighting, Yang Ming would have been a bit heretic, but Fatty Ma was no match, the two of them immediately fell in love with each other.I don't know what Yang Ming did, but he just poked the backs of the two of them. In an instant, Fatty Ma and the two felt their shoulders were heavy, as if they were pressed by two huge rocks, and it was difficult to walk.

Tan Ren heard that this hand is called 'pressing the mountain'. In fact, it is not a powerful thing, but a acupuncture method.
