Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 290 The Witch Master's Bug
The big ship slowly disappeared on the sea, and Guhuo Niao and Shan Tuo went ashore together.

"Thank you, Snow Maiden!"

Gu Huo Niao stood in front of Xue Nu, put one hand on the hilt of her umbrella sword, and said sincerely.

"Ah."

Xue Nu just replied casually.

"Snow Maiden, do you need me to help the Gu Master? With two people, if you encounter trouble, you can solve it better..."

Snow Maiden sat on the beach, put her wet shoes on her feet, then glanced at Guhuo Bird's right hand that was bleeding, and the feathers on her arm were stained with bright red blood: "No need, since the master The task given to you has been completed, so you can go to meet the master first. I can do it by myself on the side of the witch and gu master."

After Xuenv finished speaking, she walked into the woods beside her, probably following the message from the little ice man, to find the witch and Gu master.

Xue Nu has always been very indifferent when it comes to treating others.

Even though I have known Gu Huo Niao for more than a year, this point has not changed. This is due to Xue Nu's strangeness to this world and her self-enclosed.Everyone understands this point.

The snow girl who had already walked into the woods seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly came back and said to Guhuo Niao: "By the way, Yingcao seems to have learned a simple healing technique now, you can ask Yingcao to help you try to treat it." Take your arm."

"what?"

Gu Huo Niao was puzzled.

After all, Yingcao has always been a violent young girl, and she suddenly said that she had learned healing techniques, which made Gu Huo Niao think she heard it wrong.

Gu Huo Niao really can't imagine the scene of Yingcao... gently healing someone's pain...

"I've seen Yingcao restore vitality to a dry platycodon tree. Also, a cicada whose wings were bitten off by a praying mantis lay in Yingcao's hands for a while before flying again."

Xue Nu said these words when she turned to leave, because Xue Nu was getting farther and farther away from Guhuo Bird, so her voice became smaller and smaller in the end.

……

The voodoo master was running quickly towards the sea, followed by a few people who had been staring at the voodoo master in the auction house before.

They wore uniform clothes, blue-gray and simple clothes, and there was no procrastination or looseness in the clothes.

Sleeves, pant legs, bodice.

All of them are completely suitable for their body size, and the cuffs and trouser legs are tied up, and the waist is also cinched.

This kind of clothing design can minimize the resistance during fast running or fighting.

And it is not easy for others to restrict their physical activities through clothes.

The little iceman followed these people hard in the grass, looking very tired, but he didn't seem to want to stop and rest at all.

"You can't run away, Fang Wei!"

A man in a blue-gray tunic shouted loudly.

Putting the middle finger and index finger of the right hand together and placing them in front of him, this is their gesture of initiating the spell: "Fire, knot!"

"Jeepee!!!"

The worm in the bamboo cage of the witch and gu master screamed anxiously.

As soon as the witch and Gu master exerted force on his legs, his body suddenly fell to one side, and then rolled on the ground for a certain distance, barely avoiding that person's barrier.

"Wolf, the attack speed is as slow as ever. Since even such a rickety old man can easily dodge it."

A person who was tracking the voodoo master with the person who cast the enchantment before said with a slight sneer.

"Humph."

The wolf snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not refute. After all, the enchantment he cast just now was indeed avoided by the Gu master.

"Look at me."

After the man finished speaking, his body underwent some rapid changes, which were obvious changes.

Originally a slightly bulky human body.

It became more slender, the torso and limbs were all like this, and the slender body and limbs were densely covered with tight, raised filamentous muscles.

"Wolf, you are really like a degraded middle-aged man now."

The man looked at his almost perfect body, and his face was filled with a sense of pride, or satisfaction.

"Hummingbird, if you have this time to laugh at others, why not defeat your target in a short refinement time. If I remember correctly, your refinement time can only last about 10 minutes, right?"

It was a woman who spoke, her voice sounded a little low, and there was no trace of emotion in her tone.

The person code-named Fengniao glanced at the woman who spoke, with some awe in his eyes: "Yes, Lord Ghost Messenger!"

When the witches and Gu masters were talking, they had already run a long distance.

"Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick Chick!!!"

The worms in the bamboo cage of the voodoo master screamed more eagerly than last time, and there was even a dull sound of worms hitting the bamboo cage.

The Gu Master was about to turn his head to see what happened, but a gust of wind blew past, and the wind and sand flew up on the ground, blindfolding the Gu Master's eyes for a short time.

"Sure enough, speed is the key to everything."

The voice sounded in front of the Gu Master, but the heavy wind and sand only made the Gu Master see a gloomy figure, a slender figure standing in front of him in a strange posture.

The knees were bent, and the upper body was slightly stretched forward... It seemed that a powerful force would erupt at any time.

"go to hell."

The figure standing in front of the Wu Gu Master poked his face forward, almost touching the Wu Gu Master's face.At this moment, the man violently swung his fist and threw it at the Gu Master's stomach.

"Cough...cough..."

The voodoo master was thrown back more than ten meters by the man's fist, and lay down on the ground, coughing up some blood from his mouth.

The man was the one formerly known as the Hummingbird.

"The hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Its body is about the size of a bee, but the speed of the hummingbird's movement and the speed of flapping its wings are top-notch. When the hummingbird is flying, people can only hear the sound of the hummingbird's wings. But it is impossible to see the appearance of the hummingbird. And the high-frequency flapping of the wings can even make it impossible for human eyes to catch it, forming a phenomenon of 'stopping'."

The man stood in front of the injured Gu master, slowly raised his slender arm covered with filamentous muscles, looked at the Gu master and said slowly.

"That's why I'm code-named Hummingbird. It's really exciting to have an extreme body in exchange for extreme speed."

The man put his arm in front of him, then stuck out his tongue, licking obsessively.

"Cough... cough cough... slender... cough cough... slender..."

The Gu Master slowly opened his bamboo cage and said in a hoarse voice, because there was still some blood left in the Gu Master's mouth, so the hoarse voice would be accompanied by the sound of some blood bubbles bursting from time to time.

"Extreme...hehehe, cutie, it's your turn...it's your turn to come out..."

Following what the witch and gu master said, the three-eyed praying mantis that appeared before flew out of the bamboo cage directly, and the two pairs of wings flapped rapidly. The outer wings looked a little dry and yellowish-brown, while the inner wings It is bright red.

After landing on the ground, the mantis looked at the man quietly.

That is hummingbirds.

"A praying mantis?"

The man glanced at the three-eyed praying mantis standing in front of him, with some interest on his face.

Praying mantises are very strange insects in terms of size. They are aggressive. Some praying mantises reproduce parthenogenetically. Female praying mantises will eat male praying mantises when they are hungry.The eggs are laid on the surface of the branches, and the movements are extremely sensitive, and it takes only 0.01 seconds for predation.It can be regarded as the most ferocious member of the incomplete metamorphosis insects.

"Living with these bugs all day, it's disgusting to think about it, but, is there anything strange about this bug?"

Hummingbird looked at the Gu Master and said to him.

"Isn't your body very extreme and slender? Then, it will tell you what is the real extreme and slender!"

The Gu master slowly got up from the ground, and then continued to walk towards the sea. When he was talking, the Gu master kept looking at the three-eyed praying mantis, and his eyes were full of doting.

"Don't want to go!"

Hummingbird's originally bent legs straightened abruptly, and the burst of strength in a short period of time caused his body to be ejected, and finally landed in front of the Gu Wu Master.

"Giggle..."

The sound of the three-eyed praying mantis resounded at the feet of the hummingbird.

The hummingbird looked down, and saw that the three-eyed mantis was holding up its sickle-like arms, slashing towards its own feet. Although the three-eyed mantis was not big in size, because of the slender legs of the hummingbird, if it was chopped off, it would , still can cause serious injury.

What the extreme speed brings is the weakness of its own low defense.

This is quite fair.

The attack of the praying mantis can be completed in almost 0.01 seconds, but it was still dodged by the man.

"Old man, your worm is just like you, so useless!"

Hummingbird looked at the Gu Master and said to him.

"Cough...cough..."

The sorcerer coughed, and didn't pay attention to the man, just hunched over and continued walking towards the sea.

"Hummingbird, stop playing! End it early, so we can go back and return."

The woman's deep voice sounded, obviously with a trace of impatience, probably because she has been waiting for a long time.

Hummingbird glanced at the woman.

Although some didn't want it to end so quickly, they just replied respectfully: "Okay!"

Mantis raised her arms and stood quietly in front of the man, blocking between him and the Gu master.

"I don't have time, I played with your strange three-eyed praying mantis... no, eyes..."

A puzzled look appeared on the man's face.

Because, at this moment, the praying mantis standing in front of him has only two eyes, and the eye that originally grew on his forehead has disappeared at this moment.

"Hummingbird, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

The woman urged again.

"Ah."

Faced with the woman's urging, the man knew that he could no longer procrastinate, so he had no choice but to make up his mind to deal with the witch and Gu master immediately.

As for the eyes of the praying mantis...

Where did he go, this point, he has no time to think about it for the time being.

The hummingbird tensed its muscles, and then rushed towards the Gu master. When running, a gust of wind and sand was stirred up. In just a moment, the man came in front of the Gu master.

"Go to hell, don't worry, after you die, I will let those disgusting bugs of yours go down to accompany you..."

Unknowingly, a sharp dagger appeared in the man's hand.

At this moment, the dagger was stabbing towards the Gu Gu Master's head, probably trying to stab the Gu Gu Master's brain, in this case, the battle could be ended.

"Bang... pat... pat..."

……

"Ahem, cough, the battle is over!"

said a hoarse voice.

The few pursuers standing not far away had expressions of shock and incredulity on their faces, and their gazes all fell on a head in front of the witcher in a daze.

Although the head had already landed on the ground, it was still moving slowly.

Blood was splashed everywhere on the ground, and beside the head was a headless body covered in blood...

"Then... what is that?"

The enchanter wolf looked at a thin wire-like thing wriggling out of the slow-moving head, and said with fear on his face.

"do not know!"

When the woman replied, her tone was very calm, even though she was really puzzled and shocked when the man's head fell to the ground just now.However, these few seconds were enough for her to adjust her mentality. Calmness is always the best way to face danger.

Thin and long iron wires were drilled out from the neck fault of the skull, and the drill became longer and longer.

When it finally crawled out completely, it was about [-] centimeters long, but it was still very thin, looking like a rusty iron wire.

"Ahem, cough, this is an iron nematode, which often parasitizes the mantis and relies on the nutrients provided by the mantis to grow and develop. After becoming an adult, it will control the mantis to go to a place with a nearby water source, and let the mantis jump into the water and drown. The nematodes can lay eggs in the water. And the body of the iron nematode is more attractive than your companions. Although it is as thin as iron wire, it is extremely hard. It is really easy to just strangle a person's neck. At least , this is the case for my iron nematode, after all, it is a spirit insect that has lived with the mantis for more than ten years."

The Gu Master looked at the few people in front of him and said calmly.

At this time, the iron nematodes on the ground also slowly crawled behind the mantis, and then burrowed into the mantis' belly from the mantis' abdomen.

The mantis didn't struggle, but accepted it.

Soon, a third eye appeared on the forehead of the mantis, which was a slightly curved head of the wireworm, forming a protruding eye-like shape.

"Hee hee, cutie, come back."

The witcher said gently to the three-eyed praying mantis. After speaking, the witcher turned the opening of the bamboo cage to the three-eyed mantis. The mantis pushed its hind legs, flapped its two pairs of wings, and got into the witcher steadily. In the bamboo cage...

　In order to write about praying mantises and iron nematodes, I carefully watched some pictures and videos of iron nematodes, and my scalp felt numb...

　　(When I was very young, I went to catch a praying mantis, and a wireworm emerged from the praying mantis's body, which almost scared me to death. For such a strange creature, it is really a bit of a shadow.

　　And the iron nematodes are really super hard, even the stones can't stop hitting them, and they can't do any damage at all. It seems that even a knife can't cut the worms so thin.

　　Then in August and September, corpses of praying mantises were often found in the river. It was because the iron nematode had grown up in the stomach of the mantis and needed to go to the water to lay eggs, so the mantis was controlled to jump into the water and commit suicide.Of course, although there are many such cases, many praying mantises parasitized by iron nematodes died on the shore, and iron nematodes also died due to lack of water.

　　Also, there are so many iron nematodes in the river here on my side. When I went to catch fish last year, I saw three or four in a puddle that was about to dry...

　　Tip: Try not to drink the water with arthropods.There may be eggs laid by iron nematodes in it, and iron nematodes can infect humans, which is iron nematode disease.It won't be serious, but it's better not to get sick~)
