Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh: carrion worm 1
The words of the uncle who led the way were basically fulfilled. There are indeed many black bones under Baihu Ridge. Now that insects and birds do not enter, the crows stand on the trees and call, the evil ghosts surround the mountains. This sentence needs to be confirmed at night.
When they entered the black area, a cold wind suddenly came, and people shivered without realizing it. Some people accidentally touched the black corpse. For a moment, the black bones seemed to have a chain reaction, but they began to tremble violently, and the bones collided together, making a banging sound.
Immediately afterwards, white insects quickly crawled out of the bones. The small rushes were densely packed, instantly covering the black corpse. The originally black ground was snow-white for a moment, and there were so many white insects that made people unable to get off their feet, and more and more, like waves, pouring out from the black bones.
"Be careful, this is a rotten bone worm..." The sloppy Taoist reminded.
The rotten boneworms are only the size of fingernails, but they are group insects, like ants, with strong reproductive ability and rapid growth. The insects are responsible for laying eggs in their nests every day. The insect eggs hatch for five or six days, and can join the army of insect tide in half a month.
A bug is not a threat to people, but if there are too many, that's another matter. If there are too many ants, it can kill elephants, let alone these bugs.
The rotten bone worms mainly chew on the bones and survive, which is why no animals dare to enter here, because after coming here, they will be treated as nutrients for the rotten bone worms. Now the same is true for Xiao Yu and his group of people.
Xiao Yu and others quickly retreated, trying to keep a little distance from the rotten boneworm, but the rotten boneworm was like a layer of white water waves, beginning to gather towards Xiao Yu and the others.
"Hmph, seeking death."
A Taoist snorted coldly, took out two talismans and threw them out quickly. The talismans flew out and turned into a flame, falling among the rotten bone worms. For a moment, only crackling sounds were heard. The rotten bone worm was burned by the flames and immediately broke. The rotten bone worm was in chaos, and its pace of progress gradually slowed down, and then it began to slowly retreat.
Seeing that this move was effective, several Taoists took out talismans and threw them out to all sides. A raging fire spread around them. The rotten bone worms fled in panic and instantly entered the corpses. The white worms, which were originally like waves, disappeared in an instant, and were so fast that they were like a well-trained army of insects.
"Light the torch, be careful when you are at your feet."
The Taoist priest hurriedly gave an order, then picked up a stick, wrapped a ball of rag on it, and then poured some animal oil on the rag. After igniting it, he held a torch and walked forward.
Xiao Yu and others also lit torches, followed behind Taoist Master O and others, observing the surroundings while walking, for fear of being suddenly surrounded by rotten boneworms.
The dark woods were extremely quiet, and the crows that were originally croaking on the branches were no longer sounded.
Behind the team, a Taoist was holding a torch and carefully followed everyone. After he walked past, some white rotten boneworms surged out of the dark corpses.
The rotten boneworm was quietly on the ground, but at an extremely fast speed. When they ran to the last Taoist's feet, they quickly jumped onto the Taoist's upper and then entered the Taoist's trousers.
One, two, three, and one rotten bone worm entered the Taoist trousers one after another, while the white rotten bone worm behind it was more like a carpet, rushing towards this side.
Suddenly, a Taoist stopped, then slapped his head, then his whole body raked, his eyes instantly turned black, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
The moment the Taoist fell to the ground, he was covered with white rotten boneworms. In less than a minute, the Taoist turned into a pile of black skeletons.
"Old Chen, be careful behind..."
The Taoist, who was walking at the second to last, just said a reminder, suddenly heard a rumbling sound from behind, as if something had fallen to the ground, which made him turn his head in an instant.
There was no one behind him, there was only a pile of snow-white rotten boneworms, wrapping up something, and there were rotten boneworms rushing towards him.
"The rotten boneworm is here, and someone is killed..."
The second-last Taoist yelled, then ran forward quickly, and the other Taoist stumbled on their feet in an instant and looked back at the scene behind.
A dark skeleton fell under a big tree, and even her clothes were left, while the white rotten boneworms disappeared in an instant, as if the scene just now did not happen.
Everyone felt their scalp numb, their hearts were a little scared, and they unconsciously began to observe their surroundings, as if they were afraid that this would fall on themselves.
The Taoist priest stood in the distance and looked at it in a deep voice, then said in a deep voice, "The person walking behind, walks back to back, and it will be fine after this period."
But this time, as soon as the Taoist Master said, the originally disappeared corrupt bone worms once again poured out from all sides, and there were more people than the first time.
Because the people of this association had already walked into the middle of the woods and wanted to withdraw, it was too late. The snow-white rotten boneworms could not see the end at all. It seemed that they were the heavens and the kings here. No living thing could escape from them.
Xiao Yu looked at the rotten boneworms with a serious expression, standing back to back with Lao Bai and others. The situation is very critical now. If you are not careful, one of the people in his team will turn into a pile of black bones, so you have to find a way to leave.
"Be alert and attack with fire."
The Taoist priest shouted, took out two or three talismans, and threw them out in all directions. Other Taoists also imitated them, and for a moment, crackling sounds sounded around him again. However, this time the rotten bone worm did not retreat, but continued, following one after another, and pounced into the fire, as if he was not afraid of life and death.
After the dense bone rotten worms rushed into the flames, some flames gradually faded, and then more bone rotten worms rushed out again, as if endless.
"They are consuming our talismans. If they can't fight to the death, they have to leave quickly."
"For... those with high cultivation level, protect the people around you and rush out quickly."
The team became messy for a moment, and everyone began to rush forward. As the Taoists walked, they threw out talismans and blocked the rotten boneworms!
But there are too many rotten boneworms. Looking around, it is white, like heavy snow just now, making people feel a sense of despair.
"Squeak...".
Xiao Yu was running quickly at this time. Suddenly he heard a squeaking sound from afar. He couldn't help but feel his heart moved. He immediately called out the rat. As soon as the rat came out, he was startled by these rotten bone worms, but then a demonic aura emanated from the surroundings. The low-level rotten bone worms felt this powerful demonic aura, and immediately ignored Xiao Yu and others and began to rush towards the others.
Seeing that the rotten boneworms were not coming from here like him, Xiao Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the place where the screams were just now. There was no way that so many rotten boneworms were attacking everyone with spontaneous consciousness. There must be a worm king being in command, and the other party must be hiding in the writing of rotten boneworms.
