Imperial Hunters

The three of them drove to the western suburbs. When they were about a kilometer away from the agreed location, Yao Ling found a secluded place to park the car. The three of them then walked to the designated construction site. This is such a fucking good place to kill people. " Yao Ling smiled as she lit a cigarette. Wei Wuji looked at the buildings on the construction site and said with a frown: "This grandson didn't say anything. I wonder which building he's hiding in!" Old Hu carefully looked at the buildings, then pointed to the third one in the west and said, "It should be here. This building has the heaviest yin aura, and it's the most suitable for him to keep. Let's go in."

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly outside. However, the moment they entered the building, the interior of the building became dark. The visibility was very low and the three of them felt a chill down their spines. Yao Ling lifted her nose and sniffed. With furrowed brows, she said in a low voice, "There's a smell here …" This is... The stench of poisonous insects, and... "Hmm …" Corpse stench, this grandson must be raising Gu? "

Old Hu took out his wine jug and gulped a few mouthfuls before handing it to Yao Ling and Wei Wuji. Yao Yun knew that this was just a wine and that there was a drug to counter the insect poison in it, so she and Wei Wuji each took a few gulps of wine. Old Hu took out his cell phone and checked it. He sent a message to Young Master Huan but didn't receive a reply. He then said to Yao Yun and the others, "It seems like he doesn't plan on coming out to meet us. He wants us to go inside to find him." Wei Wuji asked: "There are more than a dozen floors in this building, and there are so many rooms in each floor. Do we need to search them one by one?" Old Hu smiled and said, "That depends on third brother. His nose is even better than a dog's. Didn't he just say he could smell a corpse?" This must be where this grandson keeps the Gu, we can just follow Third Bro's nose.

Yao Ling smiled and took out three burning sticks from her bag to share with everyone. After pulling off the insurance, a red flame started to burn within moments. The reason why he chose to use the burning rod instead of the flashlight was to rely on the temperature of the flames to get rid of the bugs that he might encounter. Yao was leading the way with a burning stick. They didn't know the structure of the building, nor how deep or how deep or in what environment it was, so they all took care to move slowly towards the basement using the light provided by the burning stick. It took them half a day to reach the first level.

"We're here. B1, let's go in?" While speaking, Yao Yun had already entered the doorless corridor and the three of them had entered the first underground floor. The light distance of the burning rod was limited, so the three of them enlarged the distance, ensuring that they could maximize the light distance while connecting with each other.

Third brother, be careful. Something's wrong here." Old Hu told Yao to stop, and looked down at a bottle of tortoiseshell bug in his arms. Inside was a bug called the Elephant Nose Golden Boll. This little bug's body was only the size of a peanut, but it had a nose-like tentacle on its head, and its perception organs were exceptionally developed. After Old Hu's training as an expert in insect control, this bug could make a sound like a bell when it detected a large insect nearby. Old Hu had raised this bug to help him catch other insects, but today he cleverly used it as a warning. "As soon as they entered the basement, the bug let out a cry, and the sound became more and more concentrated. It was clear that some big bug was coming closer and closer. Old Hu reminded Yao to be careful.

Just as she was about to enter a room, she suddenly felt a black shadow flash a few meters in front of her. He turned around in alarm and probed forward with the burning stick, trying to see what it was, but it was too late. The shadow was moving too fast. Yao Yun even started to suspect whether she had been blinded by the dazzling red firelight in that pitch-black room. Old Hu, did you see that!? " Yao Ling shouted. The old alley's Wei Wuji ran over to him and asked: "What? "What did you see?" "A black shadow, not very big, it seems …" Before he could finish his words, the black figure suddenly reappeared a little further away. This time it was standing directly in front of them, facing them without moving. This time, by relying on the light of the flames, the three people were able to clearly see that it was a little doll. However, before the three of them could do anything, the child disappeared into the dark room. These rooms are all connected to each other, everybody be careful! " Yao Ling shouted.

Old Hu snorted and took a step forward to stand in front of Yao Ling. He reached into his bag and took out two items. One was the copper mirror that he had been cleaning at home for a long time, while the other was an oval shaped hand grenade. Old Hu removed the cloth bag that was wrapped around the grenade, revealing a crystal bottle. A large ball of gentle light immediately appeared in front of the few of them, covering a large area in front of them with a faint blue light. "What is this?" Yao Ling curiously asked him. Old Hu replied, "This is Lancang Cloud Rain Mirror and the water from the cold pond on the snowy mountain."

The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to explain in detail before Old Hu gestured for a while, as if he had found the right place, and stopped the Lancang Cloud Rain Mirror at the mouth of the bottle. The light in the bottle was reflected through the ancient mirror in the entire room, and the area became bigger and brighter. What was even more miraculous was that both Wei Wuji and Yao Yun seemed to hear the sound of waves crashing against each other. The ground in front of them seemed to have turned into a sparkling lake.

After only a few minutes, the doll suddenly jumped out from a room, twisted its body as if it was alive, and fell straight to the ground as if it had suddenly died. Old Hu, are you sure you can let it die just like that? " Yao Yun felt it was very amusing as she watched. Old Hu said with a serious expression, "Not yet. What a pity, this is cement ground. If it had been given the sand long ago, we would have waited a little longer."

After about half a minute, the doll lying still on the ground slightly moved a few times, then something seemed to come out from the doll's body. From the outside, it looked like a mantis, but its body was far larger than the rest of its kind. It was actually about forty to fifty centimeters long, and its pair of forearms were like two large swords that were constantly waving about.

Although this mantis was extraordinarily large, it was still an insect after all. Yao Ling didn't pay too much attention to it, but when he thought about Big Head and Fifth Uncle's tragic death, he didn't dare to underestimate it. He turned around and asked Elder Liu, "What do we do now? Do you have a way to deal with it, or should I go over and trample it to death? "

Old Hu shook his head and said, "This bug is nothing. The reason Young Master Huan relied on it to kill Fifth Uncle is because he relied on a sneak attack. If we were to fight face to face, no matter how big the bug is, it will still be a bug. However, there's no need for us to go up and fight it, it's going to end soon. " After he had finished speaking, he slightly shook his hands, and the light from the bottle and the copper mirror also started to sway. At the same time, there were waves coming out of Old Hu's mouth, causing both Yao Yun and Wei Wuji to unconsciously think that they were standing at the edge of the water, with the water glittering around their feet.

Just as Yao Yun was about to ask Old Hu what was the use of this, the mantis suddenly twisted its body crazily and fell to the ground. Sometimes it twisted into a ball of thread and other times it opened up its limbs, twitching on the ground as if it was crazy. Although it wouldn't make any sound, Yao Yun could still feel that it seemed to be experiencing immense torture and pain. If it was a human, it would probably already be crying for its parents, screaming miserably over and over.

"Old Hu, this is …" Suddenly, he saw a slender thing come out of the mantis's body. It seemed to be a thread or a piece of iron. Furthermore, the thing also seemed to be alive, growing longer and longer and twisting non-stop.

Yao Yun immediately understood. "It's the Iron Nematode?" Absolutely! "

Wei Wuji did not understand. He asked: "What is Iron Nematode? Isn't this obviously a huge mantis? "

At this time, more and more iron nematodes drilled out from the mantis's body. They twisted their thick, wire like bodies, as if they had seen something they had longed for for for a long time, and were desperately trying to get out of the mantis' body. "These worms are called Iron Nematode Worms, also known as Sky Silk, Copper Serpent. The longest can grow up to two meters long, and they can usually live in seawater or fresh water. If you live in a human body, you cause urinary tract infections; if you live in a arthropod, you wait until you need to mate and lay eggs, and then you control the host to find a nearby source of water and jump in, and the iron worm breaks out of the body, often dying from bodily wounds and drowning. "The Iron Nematodes love to live in the bodies of mantis and locusts the most, Old Hu used this point to get rid of the culprit who killed Fifth Uncle."

Old Hu and Wei Wuji only got to know each other through Yao Xuan, they didn't have a deep friendship. They only knew that this bro was addicted to insects and had some ways to tame and control them, but after seeing that he easily got rid of this strange giant mantis, they immediately admired this normally unsightly drunkard from the bottom of their hearts. He thought for a moment, then asked Old Hu: "Brother Hu, if I'm not wrong, the iron nematode in the mantis' body was planted by you a long time ago, right? The eggs you plant are eaten by mantises and parasitized in its body. During this time, you go far away to the southwest to retrieve the bronze mirror and the precious bottle. When I came back, it was time for the iron worms in the mantis to mate. I relied on the treasure bottles, the copper mirror, and your eloquence to create the illusion that there was water nearby. The iron worms drilled out of the mantis's body and killed the animal. Am I right? "

The corner of Buggy Xian`er's mouth slightly lifted, he nodded and said, "That's right. Actually, I knew that there was something wrong with that doll, so I guessed that it was Young Master Huan who used the Insect Control Technique on it. That's why I laid the eggs nearby." The Rain Forest Ghost Axe Mantis is parasitized by the Iron Nematode once it eats the eggs, so we can get rid of it effortlessly. However, Young Master Huan cannot just rely on this Mantis, he must have some powerful backup, we can't be careless. "

He walked over and saw that the mantis was not completely dead yet and was still struggling to survive. He bent over and burned it to a crisp with a burning stick. "Third brother, can you smell it? Can you confirm the location of that corpse stench now?" Old Hu asked him. Yao Ling lifted her nose to sniff the air and said to them, "That smell isn't on this level. It should be heading down."

Old Hu put away the bronze mirror and the bottle, and the three of them held the burning stick and walked down two levels to B3. The space here was much higher than the one above, so it seemed like they were going to use it as a parking lot. Yao Ling and the rest smelled a strong fishy stench the moment they entered the room, and the elephant nose golden bell in Old Hu's embrace, which acted as a warning, had already started to vibrate like a mobile phone. The sound of the bug bottles hitting the tortoise shell was so loud that they suddenly calmed down. Old Hu's expression changed. He knew that his Elephant Nose Golden Bell had been scared to death from excessive nervousness and fear.

"Third brother, do you see that door in front of us?" Lao Hu asked as he stared at a metal door twenty meters away. This unfinished building only had a rough outline, yet she had never seen a single window or door. Why was there a very sturdy looking iron door in this building? Before Yao Yun could speak, Old Hu suddenly said to him in an extremely solemn tone, "In a moment, if anything happens, don't worry about me. The two of you try your best to run away. If I can't get out, I'll have to trouble the two of you to take care of the house for me. "

Seeing that his expression wasn't right, Yao Yun wanted to say a few words to console him, but Old Hu stopped him, "Third Brother, you know me, I'm not joking with you, can you promise me that?" Yao Ling was silent for a moment before nodding and saying nothing else. Old Hu smiled and said, "It's a pity that there's no wine left. Come on, let's go in. The main host is waiting for us inside." It is my, Old Hu's, fortune today, to be able to see this thing.

After he finished speaking, he strode to the metal door, turned the valve on the top with all his might, and unlocked it. He then gripped the metal handle tightly and pulled it outwards …
