Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 106 The Shipworm
The things at the bottom of the water remained calm, Miss Qiu stirred around her body with an iron rod, and shook her head after a long while: "There is nothing."

click...

As soon as her words fell, we heard a clear click, and the iron rod she had just taken out of the water suddenly lost a part.

Pfft!
Then there was the sound of falling into the water, and a black figure submerged into the water with the half of the iron rod in its mouth, and disappeared again.

"What the hell is that?" Yazai was a little startled, and asked tremblingly, causing the old cigarette on his back to shake a little, and it looked like it was about to fall.

I shook my head, only feeling that the black shadow was about one meter long, and I couldn't see the rest clearly at all.

"Speed ​​up, after walking for so long, this river should have come to an end..." Lao Yan commanded with a slightly changed expression.

But the water was dripping down to the chest, no matter how fast the speed was, it couldn't go anywhere, so everyone had to be vigilant while walking.

"Chang, Chang'an, it seems that something is lying on my lap." Yazai lowered his voice and dared not stop for fear of disturbing the thing.I raised my chin slightly at him to show that I understood and let him continue walking.

Then I took a step back and walked around behind Yazai. The iron rod in my hand was replaced by a dagger, and I stabbed directly at the black shadow on Yazai's leg.

Snapped!
The black shadow dodged my attack with a flick of its tail, and its long body circled around the boy to attack Miss Qiu.

"Sister Qiu, I'm going to your side." I got out of the water and yelled at Miss Qiu before I could wipe my face.

Her reaction speed was extremely fast, and she pulled out the short crossbow from her waist and simultaneously shot three crossbow arrows into the water.

wow...

Blood came up along the stirred river, I wiped my face and gave Miss Qiu a thumbs up.

After a while, a huge black shadow came up from the bottom of the river. It was about one meter long, black all over, and covered with short, thorn-like hairs.There are also two tentacles on the head, and the overall feeling is very disgusting, like a large thorny earthworm.

"This...is a shipworm?"

Yazai stared at this thing, suddenly took a step back with Lao Yan on his back, and said in surprise.

I was just about to ask him what a shipworm is, when he waved at us: "Quick, get out of there, don't touch it."

We left in a hurry, and he said quickly: "How could this thing appear in Taibai Mountain? It doesn't make sense."

"What are you talking about? What is this thing?" Lao Yan became impatient, patted Yazai's shoulder to calm him down, and asked in a softer tone.

Only then did Yazai calm down a little, but his tone was still very bad, and his speech was a bit confusing, but he could barely understand it.

"This thing is called a shipworm, but we usually call it a wood snake, because the thing that this thing likes to do most is to drill into the wood on the ship. The point is, they live in the sea in Southeast Asia and have never been found in our country. .”

Then he explained the information about the shipborer in more detail, saying that this thing has no natural enemies in the sea, because they usually drill into the wood, and if something attacks them, they will release a kind of lime, sealing the only exit , even other large aquatic organisms have nothing to do with it.Furthermore, this thing is also poisonous, and many aquatic creatures will be poisoned by the toxins it comes with when they get close to it.

And once this thing got into the wood, it was very difficult to find it, and it was also very difficult to get it out.

I scratched my head: "Why does this sound like a leech?"

Although the two are very different, they are similar in some ways.

"It... did it want to drill into my body just now?" Yazai said tremblingly after explaining.

Lao Yan patted him on the shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, you are not a piece of wood, as long as it drills into you, you will feel it."

Yazai's face darkened even more, this consolation was more terrifying than no consolation.

"Okay, besides, this thing wasn't shot to death." Lao Yan said helplessly.

Yazai's face turned completely dark now: "I, did I forget to say that this thing is a social animal?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Lao Yan grabbed Yazai's hair with both hands, and said furiously: "You silly boy, why didn't you say such an important thing at the beginning, hurry up, get out of here."

"It's too late..." I clenched the dagger in my hand, and I saw black shadows all around us under the water, which obviously surrounded us.

Lao Yan took a few breaths before calming down his anger: "Baby, let me down."

"But your legs?" Yazai hesitated, Lao Yan rolled his eyes and said that he could still run after he got down, and he was counting on a coward like him, and he didn't know when he was directly thrown into the water.

Yazai was also a little embarrassed, and then carefully put Lao Yan down.

As soon as he entered the icy cold water, Lao Yan's face turned pale, but now there is no other way, if Yazai keeps carrying him, we have to protect the two of them, now we just need to pay more attention to Lao Yan.

"Kumbu, you go first." Old Yanbai's lips trembled.

Kunbu nodded, and slowly took off the glove on his right hand, and a completely black palm appeared in front of everyone.

I saw it last time in the village of the corpse exorcisers, but I didn't feel that I was in a dangerous situation at that time, but now I can't help but feel a little scary when I see it.Presumably this is the price he paid for becoming a Gu King at a young age, no wonder he wears a pair of deerskin gloves all day long.

He took out a dagger, cut a hole in his palm, and then dripped blood into the water.

The blood slowly spread around, and I was surprised to find that the ship borers backed away in fear.

"This can't be aqua regia, right?" I murmured, who knew it was so quiet here, he even heard my muttering.He gave me a cold look and said, "Why don't you leave quickly and wait for my blood to bleed?"
I shrunk my head. Along the way, I dared to hang shoulders with Yazai, joked with Lao Yan, and even occasionally teased and molested Miss Qiu, but I was inexplicably afraid of Kumbu. I immediately snapped at his words The spirit moves forward.

Kunbu was bleeding as he walked, and Miss Qiu and I were guarding him, while Lao Yan and Yazai guarded him one after the other.

"Hurry up! I'm afraid these things can't be stopped." The blood in the palm of Kumbu stopped, and the ship borers immediately surrounded them. They spit out a mass of black things from their mouths. The boy immediately reminded us not to touch them. Said it was poisonous.

I said with a dark face, "It's not something we can't touch if we don't want to."

I saw black liquid mixed into the water, and after a while I felt some numbness in my calves.

Kunbu cut open the wound again with a blank face, the blood mixed with the poisonous blood of the shipworm, and even pushed the opponent back slightly.

Once again, I have a new understanding of the name of Kelp being invulnerable to all poisons. He is not invulnerable to all poisons at all. He is a big poison pot all over himself, so what poison can he be afraid of?
"You go first!"

Kumbu stepped out of our protective circle and drew a line with blood, hindering the shipworm's footsteps.

Just as I was about to stay and help, Miss Qiu grabbed me and said, "Don't waste Kumbu's blood, hurry up!"

A group of people ran in the water like this, and Lao Yan almost fell several times, so I had to hold his shoulders and drag him forward.

"There is one of that thing in front!"

Yazai, who ran at the front, said in a trembling voice.

I stuffed Laoyan to the boy, and holding up the dagger, I stabbed it at the shadow. Miss Qiu, who was beside me, also shot short crossbows quickly and continuously.Then he took out a red crossbow from his bag, and said coldly, "Is it poisonous? Then let you play with the poison."

Afterwards, I found out that this red crossbow arrow was soaked in poison, and the throat was sealed with blood...

At that time, I also asked her how dare she hold this thing in her hand, if she accidentally cut a hole, wouldn't she kill herself?

But she said nonchalantly that since she dared to use it, she had her way, and she hadn't seen anyone who could be killed by her own weapon, which made me admire.

Naturally, I was still not clear at this time, I saw that every time one of her crossbow arrows was shot, the corpse of a shipworm would float up, and each of the corpses that floated up had white eyes, obviously the dead could not die anymore.

But there were too many shipworms, and even though we killed so many, some of them swam to our side, intending to burrow holes in us.

"Damn it!"

There was a burst of severe pain, and I felt as if a hole had been drilled into my calf. I plunged into the water, and the dagger pierced the shipworm's head.

Fortunately, the bug didn't succeed, and there was only a thumb-thick wound on the calf.

The boy on the other side was being chased by the shipworm, and fired a gun from time to time to prevent them from attacking. Lao Yan on the side fired a few sniper shots from time to time, but at least he was not thrown into the ditch by the boy.
