Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 223: The river of parasites (4/3)
"This form."
Yin En frowned slightly.
He couldn't help but think of a parasite called 'Coloria trematode'.
It is a kind of parasitic snail, which makes the snail's eye stalks swell and protrude, and it keeps wriggling, attracting these snails to be eaten by birds... It can manipulate the snail's actions and make the other party violate its nocturnal normal, Head to the high places in the foliage during the day to be hunted by other creatures.
Although we don't know what happened to the parasites in the monitor lizard, this abnormal behavior does not conform to the usual behavior pattern of the blue-armored lizard.
This vicious parasite can obviously affect the brain of a creature.
"It's only been a few minutes? It has already eroded to this point. Although the green armored lizard is not a monster, it is indeed easy to be parasitized without the source of energy circulation in the body, but the speed is too fast."
Taking out the Chongyuan Iron Sword from his waist, Yin En pressed forward slowly.
The leader of the group of lizards let out a roar. This giant beast, which was more than three meters long and weighed more than half a ton, lowered its head and pointed the protruding horn on the top of its head at the enemy in front of it.
Then charged hard.
Boom boom boom, the ground shook. Even if it is not a magical beast, the charge of the Cyan Armored Lizard is like a bull rushing. With the power transmission effect brought by the solid armor, even the overlord of the jungle, the sharp-clawed tiger, will temporarily avoid the edge.
But accompanied by the sonorous buzzing of the long sword, Yin En has already raised the sword and swung it out.
Before the sword arrived, a stream of water-based source material visible to the naked eye had already condensed on the blade, and then turned into a materialized water blade that broke through the air and headed straight towards Qing The lizard's head shot away.
This water blade is not sharp, after all, it does not have a special constricting structure, but its power is extremely thick, just like an invisible sledgehammer.
When it hit the head of the blue armored lizard, the skull, which was originally strong enough to crush the reef, and the horns of the impact disintegrated and shattered like crispy biscuits, and even the spine was deformed by the structure of the blast. The bones are shattered inch by inch,
With just this sword, Yin En killed the blue-armored lizard in the lead without even using the earth-attribute source quality that was really matched with the Abyss Iron Sword.
——Who said that a water blade cannot kill without a blade?
I feel that this kind of water blade hammer has some potential for development...at least for heavy armored enemies.
With this in mind, Yin En looked at the lizards again.
Theoretically, after the father of the lizard group is killed, its spouse and heirs should flee in all directions... Even enemies that cannot be defeated by the leader are purely sentient, and the inheritance instinct in the bloodline will not let them They send life here.
However, the other five green-armored lizards, large and small, did not flinch in the slightest after seeing Yin En beheading the big lizard.
In other words, they didn't notice the previous battle at all—because their physical fitness was not as good as that of the big lizard, they only started howling now, and then locked their eyes on Yin En.
Immediately afterwards, just like the big lizards before, they rushed over one after another without any coordination!
For a moment, the roar of lizards charging was heard in the empty cave.
Monitor lizards trampled on the blood of the lizard father, shaking the ground at the pace of the enemy's attack, looking extraordinarily tragic.
And Yin En just drew out the sword, out the sword.
That's all, they smashed all their heads, and their headless bodies lay limp on the ground, twitching from time to time.
A sublimator's advantage over ordinary creatures is all-round and crushing - the strength of Yin En's sword swing may be heavier than the entire body weight of the blue-armored lizard, and there is no suspense in this battle.
But he didn't relax. Instead, he immediately came to the corpses of the lizards, bent down to observe the blue-black worms that were still wriggling in the other's shattered heads.
This is a small bug that is difficult to see with the naked eye, but it is extremely numerous, and when gathered together, it forms small blue-black wriggling spots-these small bugs are actually constantly dying and renewing, blue The black ones are alive, and the black ones are dead bodies.
Originally, the eyes of the blue armored lizard were almost occupied by this blue parasite. It even started to release faint fluorescence, but with the death of the host, these parasites also began to lose their activity, making the eyes and skin of the green-armored lizard turn black.
The silver streamer swept over the bugs.
【Massive Parasite Unnamed (South China Sea Relics)】
[The first energy level · excellence]
【The vicious parasites inhabiting the ecosphere of the underground relics in the South China Sea need to live in suitable flowing water and living organisms. They mainly attack the cerebellum, frontal lobe and temporal lobe of creatures, and will replace their functions after devouring them. If the host dies or leaves the suitable environment, it will die soon]
[By contacting the parasite through a wound, the eggs cannot break through the mucous membrane. If you drink it, as long as there is no wound in the mouth and stomach, it will not be regarded as the terminal host]
[...]
There is not much data on the silver chip this time. Although there are specific parasite sizes, energy levels and microscopic modeling, Yin En really needs very little information.
"Untitled? Looks like I was the first to discover it."
Standing up, Yin En thought deeply: "The lizards are parasitized, it should be that they have wounds in their mouths and stomachs - most wild creatures are like this, so after drinking a lot of water, they are invaded by parasites in the water."
"This is a first-level parasite. In other words, it is a sublimated species. It is indeed easy to deal with ordinary monitor lizards of the incompetent level... If it is a sublimated person, even the spontaneous flow of source matter in the body , can curb the trend of parasitism."
The source quality flowing in the sublimator is a microscopic pure energy state structure, which can be coupled with organelles to allow the human body to "sublimate" - even nano-robots cannot be smaller than it, solving the problem of personal Parasites are really easy.
Yin En waited patiently for another ten minutes, cut open the monitor lizard's body with his sword, and after confirming that most of the parasites deep in the flesh and blood were dead, he nodded slightly: "The vitality is not very strong. The main parasitic part It's the brain, but it also has a tendency to spread to the whole body... It's a bit reckless, I should wait a little longer to see what these parasites look like when they mature."
At this moment, the young man's expression was indifferent. He didn't feel uncomfortable because of the horror and nausea of this parasite, but instead had a strong curiosity.
Yin En raised his head and looked at the blue river.
He observed closely, and found that, just as he thought—in this azure blue river, all the tiny blue components were insect eggs and bug corpses...Although there were some mineral components, they were obviously not major factor!
This entire river is a river of parasites!
"The upstream should be the nest of these bugs, right?"
Looking up at the upstream of the small river, Yin En fell into deep thought: "It seems that the underground monuments not only have ecology, but also a very dangerous ecology."
If it's just danger, it won't make Yin En stop. Regardless of the terrifying appearance of this parasite, in fact, to him, taking a bath in the river has nothing to do with it.
Having a silver chip and an ancient dragon core, even if he drank water full of parasite eggs like the giant lizard, he would not be infected because of it, but could turn them into high-quality protein.
But there is no need to torture yourself like this - curiosity is a good thing, so there is no need to use it on it.
What really made Yin En fall into contemplation was actually the flickering 'parasites' hovering around the monitor lizard's eyes.
This reminded him of a 'plague' that occurred in the colony on the back of the South Ridge six years ago.
"Flicker disease?"
The young man said to himself, his tone was guarded: "Could it be that the flash mosquito disease spread by the indigenous people has something to do with this parasite?"
－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－
I saw someone say it was short and I didn’t read it, but today’s first 3 chapters are considered as an introduction plot. You can’t expect to kill random people or know everything right away.
Because I am not happy with this kind of comment, I will add another chapter today (I don’t want you to read it all later, I am really annoying, every time I write a transition and import the plot, some people will read it madly), there are 9000 words today, I hope you don’t What I always say is short, if I read it, I don’t seem to have read it. Any novel has its plot with twists and turns. I also pay attention to the description of the ruins. The plot of Sequoia Base is very important. .
Happy Labor Day everyone!
