Between mountains and seas

Chapter 106

Shao Jingxing didn't want to know what Chongming said.

In fact, he can think of it even if he thinks about it, but they are all insidious methods, such as taking drugs or something.With Chongming's appearance like this, obviously he doesn't just want to ask him to contribute this time, but wants to keep him in his hands all the time.

However, this is also good, that is, there is no need to be afraid that He Maochuan will kill him for the time being.It's just that he must escape before leaving the world of mountains and seas, otherwise it may be even worse.

Chongming did what he said, and immediately asked someone to go outside to catch a few scorpions and throw them back to Shao Jingxing for disposal.

These Songs had only their heads chopped off, not even their internal organs.Shao Jingxing couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw this thing: "Well, this has to be disembowelled and cleaned..." He could leave the cave now.

Unexpectedly, Chong Ming just pointed his finger casually, and a tall mercenary who hadn't said a word since entering the cave raised his hand, and a water ball quickly formed between his hands.

Water ability!Shao Jingxing was secretly startled, this was another superpower that could overwhelm him.What bad luck!There are so many supernatural beings in this mercenary team!Alas, it would be great if it was Fu Dou who died.

But then again, how did the monkey die?

Now the cave is full of people, and nothing has happened in the past half a day. It can be seen that their previous suspicion of "there is an invisible danger in the cave" is basically unreliable, unless the thing quietly kills the monkey and then quietly kills the monkey. Run away without a sound.

Shao Jingxing also thought about whether it might be a tiny strange beast like a weevil, which would be difficult to spot only by the light of the fire.But the monkey died without a sound. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he was unable to make a sound when he felt the pain.

While thinking, Shao Jingxing ripped open the belly of a few scorpions and washed them clean in the water polo condensed by the water mercenary—he heard Chongming call him Da Qi—then Da Qi waved his hand, the one was already dirty The water polo soared into the air and flew out of the cave.

This ability is very convenient.Shao Jingxing muttered to himself, and decided to be a beggar's chicken.

Seeing him wipe the wet mud mixed with salt and seasonings on Longsi's body, He Maochuan's expression was a bit indescribable, and he suddenly said, "What was that chicken you brought back?"

Shao Jingxing didn't expect that he could still think of the chicken named Huafu, so he pretended to be stupid: "What? Isn't it a pheasant? It looks similar to this one, I can't tell the difference."

"You still pretend!" He Maochuan's eyes showed a fierce look.Do you think he is stupid?After eating the beggar's chicken that time, the man with glasses became visibly irritable.He didn't expect it at the time, but now that he knows that this kid has such abilities, how can he not understand, there must be something wrong with that "chicken"!

Shao Jingxing firmly cannot admit that he has set someone up: "It's similar to this, the face is a bit human-maybe the color of the feathers is brighter. I, I just entered the special affairs department not long ago, and these things look all the same. Almost, I really don't know."

"Then why didn't you use your own supernatural power to burn it?" He Maochuan couldn't believe a word he said to him now.

Shao Jingxing said in a low voice: "I don't think they will give me to eat it after it's cooked. Why do you want me to use my ability? It's very laborious..."

Chongming was still inspecting the monkey's body, when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Shao Jingxing with a half-smile: "Here's for you to eat. You can eat it first after it's cooked."

Shao Jingxing smiled at him reluctantly: "Thank you, boss." Of course, he will eat it, and it is estimated that the buttocks of these chickens are all his.

Chongming laughed, probably because he was a little complicated because he changed his name to the boss so quickly, so he lowered his head and went to check the corpse again.

He Maochuan didn't expect Shao Jingxing to be so "flexible and stretchable", he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Shameless."

Shao Jingxing ignored him.A person like He Maochuan has no right to criticize others.What's more, he wouldn't fight for it at this time, he was so angry that he saved it for running away.

Chongming and the others didn't find any scars on the monkey's body. Chongming frowned and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Let's dissect it."

Shao Jingxing was startled suddenly, the mud dumpling chicken in his hand almost fell to the ground.anatomy?right here?The monkey can be regarded as their brother, so—doesn't leave a whole body after death?

"Anatomy." Chongming calmly repeated to Kestrel, "We have to figure out how the monkey died, otherwise we would be fools if this kind of thing happened to us." He looked down at the monkey, "Anyway, in the end They all need to be burned with a fire." It doesn't make any difference whether they are burned whole or piecemeal.

Kestrel didn't say anything, just nodded and took off all the monkey's clothes.

An indescribable smell filled the cave—a mud chicken stuffed into a fire here, a disembowelled corpse there.

Shao Jingxing stared at the fire with all his attention, so that he would try not to sneak around the autopsy scene from the corner of his eyes.Kestrel played very well with a knife, and it didn't take long for the monkey to be disemboweled.It seems that he should be the lowest-level awakened person. He has no abilities, but his body has been strengthened, so he can't be called a person with abilities-but his strength has increased significantly, and he can cut off the monkey's body with only a knife. rib cage……

Now Shao Jingxing almost hated why his eyes were so easy to use, and he could see so clearly from the corner of his eyes.Of course, he hated himself even more and his sense of smell has also strengthened, so the smell of blood over there is almost all over his face, and nothing can block it.

"Monkey's liver..." Kestrel suddenly stopped moving its hands inside the monkey's chest, and then brought up something.Shao Jingxing endured his nausea and looked at it quietly, and found that it was two shrunken pieces of dark red meat.

Chongming frowned: "The liver has become like this?"

"It seems to be sucked dry by something..." Kestrel didn't care, "Other organs look fine, only the liver has obvious changes." He threw the meat back, "I can only do it That's it." After all, he is not a professional forensic doctor, and besides, it is impossible to have any supporting equipment for analysis here.

Fu Dou had been watching from the side, and only then asked: "Boss, is this... a strange beast?" There were only three of them in the cave just now, if it wasn't the monkey who died, then maybe he was the one who died, now that I think about it He was still in fear, and seeing such a strange change in the monkey's internal organs made his scalp explode even more.

Chongming pondered for a while, and instructed Fudou: "Burn it."

The little black dog on Fudou's shoulders opened its mouth, and there was a flame, and the two shriveled livers creaked, but there was no abnormal change until they were burned to ashes.

"Maybe it's just blood-sucking?" Kestrel guessed, "Boss, what beasts are blood-sucking?"

"Only suck blood from the liver?" Chongming shook his head, "There is no such beast. And the monkey didn't make a sound—even if the liver is sucked out for a moment, it won't die immediately."

After pondering for a moment, Chongming looked at the monkey's head again: "Let's have a look at the skull."

Shao Jingxing turned his head away directly, as if even He Maochuan couldn't stand it.When Shao Jingxing saw his expression, he couldn't help but groan in his heart—the new bride he raised specializes in eating human brains, so now he can't bear to see other people's brains?What a joke!

The craniotomy took a little effort, but the result was still nothing. The monkey's brain at least seemed to be intact, so the cause of the sudden death is still unknown.

"Burn it." Chongming looked at the unrecognizable monkey and sighed.

Kestrel picked up the stripped clothes and wanted to throw them on the monkey's corpse, but when he shook the clothes, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a round object falling out of the coat pocket and rolling on the ground.

"what?"

Only then did Fu Dou remember: "It was found in this pile of bones!"

Of course Chongming saw the huge pile of bones, but because he wanted to find out the cause of the monkey's death first, he didn't bother to study it for a while, so he asked in detail now.So Fudou explained it carefully, but omitted the scene where he was covered by a skull.

"It fell out of the eye socket..." Chongming took a look at the bead, then opened the skull and looked inside.But the chrysalis had been broken into pieces and buried among the bones, and of course he found nothing.

"Is this for decoration?" Kestrel glanced at it. "Maybe it's an ornament worn by this 'person', and it just fell into the skull after death, and a hole was drilled in it."

"Drilling holes?" Fu Dou hastily leaned over to take a look, "When I looked, there seemed to be no holes..."

He didn't have enough confidence to say this, because the monkey picked up the beads at the time, so he just glanced at them casually, and wasn't sure if there were holes in them or not.The monkey looked carefully, but the others were all dead, so naturally he couldn't get up and talk.

"This must be a hole." Kestrel took the bead from Chongming's hand, and looked carefully at the firelight, "It's obviously a hole, isn't it connected on both sides? The hole seems to be curved—that's not true. Easy to drill out."

When Shao Jingxing heard the word "curved", his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to take a look.But the bead is held in the kestrel's hand, so it is impossible for him to see what the bead hole looks like, but he feels that the color of the bead seems to be different from the beginning, it seems that there is a slight dark green color, which makes the whole bead The color of the beads all became darker.

Did the bead have holes at the time?Shao Jingxing couldn't help recalling it carefully.He felt that there was no hole, at least when the monkey held it in his hand to examine it, he didn't see any hole.Besides, if there are holes, the monkeys will definitely not guess that it is the inner alchemy—whose inner alchemy has eyes, has it been eaten by insects?

As soon as the word worm came out of his head, Shao Jingxing suddenly thought of that white chrysalis, and a terrifying thought came out of his mind uncontrollably—could it be that this bead is actually a worm egg? ?

If the white, empty shell was a chrysalis, could the bead be an egg laid by a creature that emerged from the chrysalis?Originally it had no holes because the eggs had not hatched at that time, but now it has holes because the worms inside have left the egg shell.

But why do the eggs hatch at exactly this time?The monkey... why... died?

One thought after another couldn't be pressed down, and they rushed out of Shao Jingxing's head: the insect egg hatched because it absorbed the life of the monkey; or, when this huge skeleton was alive, it was once a The worm's food, it is precisely because it absorbs its life, that the chrysalis can be raised...

Shao Jingxing couldn't help but look around.The monkey's body had been enveloped by a fireball released by Fudou's black dog.Fudou's technique of manipulating the fireball looked very good. The monkey's corpse quickly shrunk and charred in the fire, but there was no pungent smell and black smoke floating around.

So, are the hatched worms still in the monkey's body?Was it burnt to ashes along with the monkey?Shao Jingxing always felt very uneasy, because he still had a question that he hadn't figured out—why only the liver part of the monkey changed?

Is it because the bugs haven't had time to eat other parts?No, Shao Jingxing felt that this idea was wrong.If the worms were eating the parts slowly, the monkeys wouldn't die so quickly and quietly.The worm obviously drained his life in an instant, but the change was only limited to the liver...

The monkey's corpse was still being burned, but Chongming had already gone to study the huge skeletons. As for the bead that was suspected to be an insect egg shell, he casually threw it to the kestrel: "Go out and find Palm Eye."

Except for Fudou who was still controlling the flames, the rest seemed to no longer care about the monkey, and each went about his own business.Shao Jingxing didn't understand how they could be so indifferent - He Maochuan was fine, but these people...

However, no one wanted to care about Shao Jingxing's psychological problems, but Kestrel asked him, "Are those chickens cooked?"

Shao Jingxing looked at the little blood splattered on his sleeve during the autopsy, and suddenly felt nauseous: "It should be fine..."

The dried mud ball was pulled out from the fire, and the mud shell was knocked open, and the chicken feathers fell off, revealing the burnt skin inside.Where the skin was torn, the snow-white flesh was exposed, accompanied by a strong fragrance.

Shao Jingxing could clearly hear Fudou swallowing his saliva, but he himself had no appetite at all.And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the kestrel had a strange smell, slightly fishy.He suspected that this was the smell of the blood that the kestrel had stained from the monkey, but his rationality told him that it was impossible for him to smell such a strong smell on a drop of blood.

"You eat first." Kestrel didn't give him the chicken butt this time, but broke off several chicken necks and gave him to him.

Shao Jingxing silently gnawed on each chicken's neck before Kestrel called Chongming: "Boss, eat."

The monkey's body had turned into a pile of ashes, Chongming took a look at it: "Put it away, and send it to the cemetery after you get out."

The taciturn Daqi went to collect the ashes, Kestrel handed Chongming a chicken leg, and asked, "What is this bone? Except for this head, the rest seem to be human bones." It's just that it's too big.

"I thought about it—" Chongming pondered, "If the body is indeed a human bone, then could it be the Fangfeng people in the legend. It is said that the Fangfeng clan is three feet long, with a dragon head and cow ears, and even eyebrows and eyes. Look at this skull, It’s hard to see if it’s good or bad, but looking at the facial bones, if it’s restored, it’s somewhat similar to the so-called ‘dragon’.”

Kestrel's eyes lit up: "And it's also an eye!" Lian Mei couldn't prove it, but the skull only had a hole in the middle of the forehead, which was obviously "one eye".

Shao Jingxing thought about it silently, and felt that what Chongming said made sense.But Fangfeng is still a "human" in the records, not a strange beast, why did he die here?

Kestrel also raises this question.But Chongming shook his head: "Maybe he came here before the world of mountains and seas was separated, but couldn't get out later. Or he entered the world of mountains and seas to hunt, was attacked by some strange beast, and died of serious injuries."

Fu Dou gnawed at the chicken beside him, and said casually, "That's not with us."

Chongming smiled: "It's very possible. After all, the Fangfeng clan was later beheaded by Dayu for being late for the meeting. It can be seen that their clan is at odds with Dayu. This disagreement may be due to the fact that they are against the two worlds. The attitude of separation is different."

Shao Jingxing couldn't help but look at Chongming more.As the saying goes, one is afraid that the hooligans are educated. This educated poacher is probably more difficult to deal with than Fudou and the like.

He Maochuan also seems to be very interested in this topic: "That's right. Yu Su has always shown benevolence and righteousness to others, because he killed people after the meeting. This reason is not in line with his habits at all. If it is because Fangfeng's people sneaked into the world of mountains and seas, or even Destroying the enchantment is more likely."

Shao Jingxing complained secretly: You are doing the same thing as Fangfeng. If Yu was alive, he should have killed you all!

But of course he didn't dare to say that, he just gnawed on the chicken's neck silently.

They were all grown-ups, and a few scorpions were eaten up in no time.Chongming wiped his hands, and then said to He Maochuan: "Mr. He, since this place is not far from Manlian Mountain, we still have to go to Manlian Mountain first, and only after we hunt the Jiaobird can we find Pihan Rhinoceros for Mr. He."

He Maochuan frowned: "If you catch a bird, you need someone to deliver the things first. Now there is one less person. The money I paid back then was to hire all of you."

Chongming smiled, and pointed at Shao Jingxing: "Isn't this one more? And in this way, we can stay longer in the world of mountains and seas. After all, there was a mistake when we entered the world of mountains and seas this time, otherwise the monkey might Nothing will happen. Besides, it has already been delayed for a day, and it is nothing to delay a few more days. What does Mr. He say?"

He Maochuan's face darkened, but he had no words to refute.This time he brought these people into the world of mountains and seas, but he didn't know whether it was because of his poor physical strength that he couldn't control the Taiyin well. Not only did he fail to reach the Manlian Mountain accurately, but the group of people actually divided into two groups.What Zhongming said was right, if they hadn't separated, the monkey wouldn't have died.

He Maochuan didn't feel apologetic, it's just that Chongming said so, and he couldn't say anything.Although he was the one who paid the money, Chongming and the others could quit, but he couldn't find any better candidates than them for a while, so he could only nod his head: "That's it."
