Chapter 45 Underwater Fierce Shadow

A small bug, no more than the length of an adult's knuckle, is entrenched in the box. At first glance, this bug is not much different from a walnut bug. The only difference is probably the color. The skin is slightly golden, like some bug feasts in the southwest.

It’s the same as the food that has been fried and grilled. It feels inexplicably crispy when you look at it.

This has nothing to do with the Gu I imagined.

Human beings are naturally afraid of things like poisonous insects and poisonous flowers. However, nine out of ten poisonous poisons are made from this material. In my eyes, poisonous poisons are similar to tigers and lions. They are both man-eating beasts.

Isn't it supposed to be something very ferocious with its teeth and claws showing? No matter how bad it is, it has to be something that can make people suffer from trypophobia and cause goosebumps all over their bodies!

The one in front of me, not only does not have this sense of déjà vu, but it looks crispy and a little cute. This is a bit too different...

My master stared at the little bug in the box with deep eyes. He sighed for a long time: "It's really that Gu King. It's almost turning into a monster. You got this thing. It seems that you want to give up all kinds of stunts."

, will you specialize in this from now on?”

"It's impossible to give up. I've spent most of my life stealing lessons from others, breaking my teeth and swallowing them. I've gone through too much. It's okay to fall out and deny your friends. But as a human being, you can't fall out with yourself.

I don’t recognize any of them.”

Lao Bai was rarely serious. He grinned, and he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. He looked like he was making a face and said to himself: "I am just a toad crawling out of the mud.

A despicable person can still crawl out even if he is stepped into the mud by others. Back then, young boys like Xiao Weizi and others could not understand what it was like to beg on the streets, learn skills, and pick up what others left to eat. Even now, they still have psychological shadows.

When I go to a restaurant, I always order a few more dishes. Even if I eat a box of instant noodles, I have to put at least four or five ham sausages into the box. I don’t even have a big appetite, just to cheer myself up! I’m not rich anymore.

I'm short of food and drink! Damn it, I wouldn't be able to live now if I didn't cheat people. Now that I've struggled to this point, I'm not willing to stop here, and I have to give it a try, so even if the old toast woman's breath smells like fat

It’s just as boring to me as it is to me, but it seems to me that it’s just as sweet as sugar!”

He was chattering like a neurotic.

I don't know why, looking at Lao Bai like this, I feel a little pity for him.

After hearing this, my master was silent for a while and then said: "Well, I can't say anything about the path you chose. I can only remind you that this path is extremely dangerous and even...much more difficult than what you were used to."

The two of them were playing riddles and didn't know what they were talking about. In the end, Lao Bai just smiled and didn't know if he heard it. He picked up the box and stared at the Gu King for a long time before poking it with his finger.

Poke.

"Baby, don't pretend to be dead, at least move, you make me look like a psycho."

The insect moved a little bit...

Well, this is still a cold bug.

Zhang Xinya was shocked and said it was maggots.

It wasn't that she was making a fuss, the insect was really squirming like maggots when it moved.

When his eyes returned to the insect, he looked flattered. Probably the insect ignored him at all. He poked it several times in succession, but the insect ignored him and remained motionless.

It's like being dead.

Lao Bai sighed, put the insect in front of his face, closed his eyes, and squirmed with his mouth, muttering something. The Gu King in his hand moved, and the slightly golden skin on his body turned up. Only then did I know that

The layers of skin are actually like fish scales, but unfortunately they are too small to be seen with the naked eye unless they are lifted up.

At this moment, those tiny scales were flapping rapidly.

Click click click.

A heartbreaking sound came from the small pool.

This sound is familiar to me. It is the sound those water scorpions make when they move in groups and overwhelmingly.

"coming!"

Brother Yaozi let out a low cry and looked up at the pool.

A large black thing floated on the water like a dark cloud and was rushing toward us quickly.

"Get out of the way!"

My master shouted: "Leave it to Lao Bai to handle it."

No need to remind us, we have already moved far away.

The speed of these water scorpions in the water is so fast that they have already swarmed into the shallows in the blink of an eye. Each giant beetle, which is at least the size of a football, appears to be slow when it comes to land, like a turtle. There are too many of them.

One on top of another, they surged toward Lao Bai. When stacked together, they looked like a black wave, rolling forward.

"Brothers, remember my sacrifice today. If you encounter something valuable down there, remember to leave one or two pieces for your brothers. Don't eat them all!"

Lao Bai screamed loudly. This was also strange. At this juncture, he actually sang a dramatic tune at the top of his voice, as if he was composing music for himself, highlighting the tragedy: "The general's reputation is ruined after a hundred battles. Xiang Heliang

, Looking back thousands of miles, old friends will never be seen again. The water is flowing and the wind is cold in the west, and the clothes in the house are like snow. A strong man, the tragic song is not complete..."

A water scorpion no bigger than the one my master had killed suddenly jumped up and slapped Lao Bai directly on the face. The singing stopped abruptly and was replaced by a heart-rending scream.

A moment later, the giant insect surged in and submerged Lao Bai.

These giant insects did not harm him, but circled around him, even opening their carapace and fanning, like cheering, like soldiers surrounding their emperor and shouting wildly.

However, I really can't imagine that kind of feeling.

Insects like to dig holes. As soon as they saw Lao Bai's broken crotch, the green light in the larvae's eyes visibly lit up, and they burrowed in. Lao Bai immediately trembled all over. Unexpectedly, he thought it was a set of big swords.

Once it was thrown on him, it was almost as if the clouds were rising, and both eyes turned white.

"I have reminded him long ago that this road is difficult and this is just the beginning..."

My master whispered to himself, then waved his hand and shouted: "Do it!"

All the bugs in the water should have come ashore. The pool was empty at this time, and the crisis was temporarily resolved. We looked at each other, set off at the same time, rushed into the water one after another, and dived under the water at one go.

This time I was familiar with the road and the speed was much faster.

However, my master and Brother Yaozi were still not at ease. The three of them dispersed around me to help me guard the surroundings. As for me, I took the bottle and lurked directly to the bottom of the water and began to clean up the mud at the bottom.

Because I only had to hold my breath, and the workload this time was a bit heavy, I had to speed up the process. Naturally, the process was not so meticulous. My hands would inevitably rub against the Hexi cloth below. I waited until I had cleared out a piece that was just enough.

When a person passed by, Hexibu was already slightly warm.

This is definitely a job that challenges one's nerves.

I didn't want to stay in the water any longer, so I immediately took off the cap of the alcohol bottle, pointed the mouth of the bottle at Hexibu, and poured all the alcohol into the water in one breath.

Success or failure depends on this.

I stared at Hexibu intently, and something changed in the blink of an eye.

The Hexi cloth was soaked little by little, and I saw the thing swelled up!

There's drama!

My eyes lit up. At this moment, the Hexi cloth changed again, very quickly. Just like the bait thrown into the water, it began to atomize and turned into tiny debris, floating in the water. Those tiny debris quickly

It turns into something similar to grease particles.

Wow!

A surge of water hit me right in front of me!

I thought it was my master and the others who were coming to watch. When I looked up, all the hairs on my body were covered with blood. A ferocious and terrifying face came into my eyes. This face was so close to me that it was almost touching me.
