   Chapter 1026 Corpse Insect

   "It's my snake detective," Xia Hua raised her palm to look at her wrist and nodded, "It's back."

   "Does it have any results from the investigation?" Luo Jiutian asked.

  Xia Hua tilted her head slightly and made a gesture of listening. Although no one else could hear her snake detective voice, everyone chose to keep silent.

   After a long while, Xia Hua straightened her neck again and her brows were tightened.

   "There are some results," Xia Hua said. "Snake Detective said, that thing seems to be human, but it doesn't seem to be..."

   "Oh, why is there such an answer again," Luo Jiutian wailed, "Why are everyone like the Taoist priest and don't speak clearly?"

   "Where do I have it?" The Taoist priest immediately retorted.

   "If you don't think so, then there is none," Luo Jiutian said perfunctorily to Xia Hua, "Sister Hua, what are the original words of the snake detective?"

  Xia Hua raised her eyebrows, "Do you want me to repeat it to you in the language it used?"

   "No... Of course I didn't mean it that way," Luo Jiutian shrank behind the Taoist priest in fright, "I mean, you translate the original words."

   "Don't you think I was translating just now?" Xia Hua raised her arms and narrowed her eyes, "It's useless for you to hide behind the Taoist priest, do you think I dare not play the Taoist priest?"

   The Taoist priest lying on the gun could only sigh humbly, turned his head and whispered to Luo Jiutian, "Jiutian, don't always hide behind me, sometimes I'm afraid too."

"What I said just now are the original words of Snake Detective," Xia Hua said, clearing her throat, "It also said that that thing is still some distance away from us, and the route chosen by Jiutian successfully confuses it. Before it finds us, we You can still get ready.”

   "But we don't know anything, what should we prepare?" Luo Jiutian said.

   "Ask Zhou... eh, where is Zhou Ye?" Xia Hua realized that she had lost someone, "Where did Zhou Ye go?"

  Everyone looked around, the Taoist priest looked inside along the broken window, and saw Zhou Ye sitting alone in the dark room, looking at the table, as if he was in a daze.

   "Look."

   Daoist priest pointed with his chin in the direction of Zhou Ye, and everyone turned to look over.

   "What is he doing?" Xia Hua asked, "Why does he look so stupid?"

   "It may be that the brain has not recovered." Luo Jiutian pointed to his head and said.

  Li Muyuan pondered for a while, and then walked into the room without saying a word.

   The other three saw this, looked at each other, and followed.

   Zhou Ye put one hand on the dusty table and clenched the other into a fist. Li Muyuan walked over to Zhou Ye and followed his gaze all the way.

  In the gap between the table and the wall, a few pieces of dark green moss grew. Those moss came from the dampness and darkness over the years, secretly growing and parasitic here.

  Li Muyuan opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something.

   Lao Luo also stared at the piece of moss carefully for a long time. Luo Jiutian rubbed against Lao Luo's arm, wanting to ask him what he found, but Lao Luo pushed his elbow away impatiently.

   "Chou Ye," Xia Hua finally asked, "Did you find something?"

   Zhou Ye raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, he looked at the others, and after a while he mumbled, "Hair...human...animal..."

   "What?" Xia Hua didn't understand, "What are you talking about?"

   "Did your snake detective say that it's strange that it looks like a person and doesn't look like a person?" Zhou Ye asked anxiously.

   "That's right," Xia Hua nodded, "Do you have a clue?"

   "Moss... Parasitic..." Li Muyuan said, "Did you think of corpse worms?"

   "The corpse worm?"

   "What is this?" Luo Jiutian asked both Li Muyuan and Lao Luo, "I've never heard of it."

   "Are there still few things you haven't heard of?" Lao Luo glared at his son, "Shut up and listen to Mu Yuan."

   As a result, Mu Yuan didn't say anything this time, but Zhou Ye opened his mouth to explain.

"Although the corpse worm is called a worm, it is actually a kind of fungus," Zhou Ye said. "Just like its name, this fungus will parasitize on human corpses and gradually spread to the body of the corpse. , When the whole body of the corpse is eaten by the corpse worm, the corpse will be wrapped in black hair-like filaments, like a worm pupae, hence the name corpse worm."

   "What do you mean, that inexplicable Lingxi is actually this kind of corpse-turning worm?" Luo Jiutian showed a disgusted expression, "How can anything form a Lingxi now?"

   "Don't underestimate fungi," Li Muyuan said earnestly, "When there were no humans in this world, fungi existed. Logically speaking, they are more advanced creatures than humans."

   The humans who were targeted by the "high-level creatures" bowed their heads at the same time and became distressed.

   "I also remembered after you mentioned it. I have heard of this corpse worm," Xia Hua said. "It is said that this thing is rare. Zhou Ye, you won't even introduce the corpse worm into the game, right?"

   "No, no, corpse worms are indeed extremely rare, we haven't seen them before," Zhou Ye waved his hands, "What's more, corpse worms only deal with corpses, and they are useless to us."

   This also makes sense.

   "So, this corpse worm was not brought in by Zhou Ye and the others," Li Muyuan said, "In that case... is this space attracted by itself?"

   "Wait, I have a question," Luo Jiutian raised his hand, "Then what we saw, is it the Lingxi of the fungus, or the Lingxi of the corpse that was eaten away?"

   Li Muyuan looked at Zhou Ye, and the two of them slammed into one place, thinking too.

   "I think...it should be a combination of the two," Li Muyuan said. "For some reason, the idea of ​​the corpse worm and the corpse reached a consensus, and the two together formed the current Lingxi."

   "Sounds hard to deal with," Luo Jiutian succinctly pointed out the current focus of work, "Then does this corpse worm have any weaknesses?"

"Weakness..." Zhou Ye looked at the dark night outside the window, the weeds in the yard swayed like ghosts, "The biggest weakness of the corpse worm is that it can't leave the parasitic entity, so even if the body is covered with After being eaten up by the corpse worm, it cannot leave the corpse to eat other corpses, and when the nutrients disappear, the corpse worm will perish with the corpse."

   "That is to say, when the corpse is in the state of a chrysalis, what everyone sees is actually a dead corpse worm." Li Muyuan added.

   "So, theoretically, as long as we find a way to dismantle the corpse and the corpse, we can make them disappear, right?" Luo Jiutian said.

   "So to speak," Zhou Ye didn't deny it, "but how are we going to take them apart?"
