Chapter 1008 Leaf-eating Monster Kemjira

After a while, Gu Chen and Dong Guangtaro arrived at the watermelon field and explained their purpose to the owner of the field.

Upon learning that Gu Chen and Dong Guangtaro were there to buy watermelons, the watermelon farmer immediately became very enthusiastic and specially invited the two to the watermelon field and personally picked the watermelons for them.

However, during this process, they encountered a small earthquake.

Just like the earthquake encountered at the Earthquake Research Institute, the ground only shook slightly twice before stabilizing, and had no impact on the residents living here.

“This is a nest of earthquakes.”

After experiencing two small earthquakes in a short period of time, Higashi Kotaro couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right." After hearing what Higashi Kotaro said, a watermelon farmer working in the watermelon field immediately agreed and started talking, "This summer is really strange. I have never seen such an earthquake since I was a child, no, even in my grandfather's lifetime."

"Since spring, the mountains have been getting angry and there have been frequent earthquakes. My watermelons have all been ruined."

Hearing what the watermelon farmer said, Higashi Kotaro's eyes fell on the lush watermelon field.

The melon farmer said that his watermelons were all wasted, but in Higashi Kotaro's opinion, the melon farmer's harvest this year was still quite good. The fields were full of watermelons, and it was certain that he would make a lot of money.

"But I think we can still eat watermelon as much as we want. It feels pretty good."

Seeing this, Dong Kotaro comforted him casually.

In his opinion, the watermelons of the melon farmers were probably only slightly damaged, and he just felt sad that the fruits of his labor were destroyed for no reason.

"That's not the case. This, this, this..." Upon hearing this, the melon farmer immediately shook his head and denied it. At the same time, he began to fumble in the watermelon field. Then, as if he had found what he was looking for, he took out a watermelon from the field, turned around and said to Higashi Kotaro, "Look at this. Here you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the melon farmer threw the watermelon in his hand towards Higashi Kotaro.

It was not known whether the melon farmer was born with supernatural powers, but the watermelon in his hand flew out of his hand at an extremely fast speed, which immediately scared Higashi Kotaro. He thought that the melon farmer was going to use the watermelon to split his head, so he quickly dodged to the side.

The next second, the watermelon fell to the ground under the gaze of Tokotaro, and then broke into two halves.

Looking at the watermelon that was broken into two halves, Higashi Kotaro's anger at the watermelon farmer's rude behavior instantly turned into surprise and confusion.

"Oh?" Higashi Kotaro tilted his head and looked at the watermelon that was broken into two pieces on the ground, but the inside was empty. He couldn't help but feel very confused. Then he turned around and looked at the watermelon farmer, "Uncle, this?"

"The note is empty. Many watermelons are like this. It may be caused by some bugs." The melon farmer explained, then continued to bend down to harvest the watermelons in the field, and then said: "The Agricultural Cooperative came to investigate, but they couldn't find the real identity of the bug."

"Such a waste."

Higashi Kotaro felt very sorry when he saw the watermelon with its flesh missing.

"Who said it wasn't?" The melon farmer agreed, and then began to select watermelons for Dong Guangtaro and Gu Chen. "This one is good... this one is for you... this one is also good... this one is also fine, there are four in total."

After a while, four watermelons were picked out by the farmer from a pile of watermelons. They were all full in the hands and not hollowed out by insects.

"Correct."

Higashi Kotaro nodded and took the watermelon from the farmer.

"Wait a mininute."

Gu Chen also helped, but when he picked up one of the watermelons picked by the farmer, he immediately called out to Dong Kotaro and the farmer.

"Ah? Counselor, what's wrong?"

Dong Guangtaro looked at Gu Chen with confusion.

"My dear customer, this is the watermelon I picked by myself. I guarantee it's big and sweet. I won't rip you off."

The melon farmer thought that Gu Chen was questioning his methods and intentions in selecting watermelons, so he immediately showed a dissatisfied look on his face and spoke.

"There's something inside this watermelon, listen."

Gu Chen said as he handed the watermelon over and asked the two to listen carefully.

Hearing this, both Higashi Kotaro and the melon farmer leaned over curiously.

After listening carefully, they both heard a series of "crunching" sounds inside the watermelon.

It sounded like something was eating the watermelon from inside.

"There are bugs?!"

Dong Kotaro and the melon farmer were suddenly shocked.

Then, the melon farmer's face changed: "I finally caught it. Let me see what kind of insect dares to eat my watermelon!"

As he said that, the melon farmer took the watermelon back from Gu Chen and then threw it hard to the ground.

Suddenly, the watermelon was smashed into pieces, and the bug hiding inside the watermelon finally appeared in front of the melon farmer. However, when the melon farmer saw the bug that dared to eat his watermelon, the anger on his face was immediately replaced by fear.

There was no other reason, it was just because the bug in the watermelon was too big.

A rough estimate is that it is about 30 centimeters in size.

It is already terrifying enough that a bug can grow to this size, not to mention that this bug is looking at everyone with ill intentions at this time.

Seeing this, the melon farmer immediately took a few steps back in horror, while Gu Chen and Dong Guangtaro took a few steps forward and protected the melon farmer behind them.

Higashi Kotaro reached for his waist but found nothing. Only then did he realize that he didn't have a ZAT gun with him.

"Oops!"

Higashi Kotaro gritted his teeth, thinking that the situation would become somewhat dangerous without a gun.

"Don't panic."

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately spoke.

In fact, it’s a good thing that Higashi Kotaro didn’t bring the ZAT gun, because in the original plot, this thing can absorb the energy of the laser bullets fired by the ZAT gun and then become huge.

If it were to absorb the energy and grow in size now, the nearby residents who had not yet been evacuated and were completely defenseless would be in trouble.

"Advisor, what kind of bug is this? How can it grow so big?"

Dong Kotaro asked Gu Chen while staring at the big meat worm in front of him vigilantly.

"Kemjira is an ancient creature, so it can grow so big, but logically it should have been extinct."

Gu Chen was not talking nonsense. Information about Kemjila was recorded in documents in ancient museums.

"Kemmjira?"

Dong Kotaro couldn't help but repeat it.

At this moment, Kemjila seemed to have found a good opportunity to attack, and suddenly spit out a special white silk thread from his mouth towards Gu Chen and Dong Kotaro.
