Chapter 1053: Failed attempt to get rich

To be honest, when this thing is hung on Lao Wang and he stands there, facing the light, he looks like a cloisonné enamel sculpture with ancient charm. From the light to the outline of the lines, it gives people a sense of luxury and grandeur.

Half of the body of the big centipede tightly wrapped around Lao Wang's legs, and then wrapped up to his waist and chest. It not only has slender and sharp legs, but also a large number of blade-like abdominal limbs like mantis shrimps, which are deeply embedded in the flesh with a crackling sound.

"Help! Oh, don't, don't, it hurts, it seems to be stuck in the bone." Lao Wang held the knife horizontally with his neck, and his other hand tightly pinched the "neck" of the big centipede: "I want anesthesia, anesthesia."

After he shouted like this, Tai Xiaoyi and Li Lasi dared not move. After all, the dense blade-like abdominal limbs cut very deep. If he pulled it hard, Lao Wang might need to go to the base hospital again to do some strange surgery.

"Why are you yelling!"

Li Cang reduced the big magic wand to its normal size, and hammered it into the back of the centipede's "neck". Unless it was willing to give up the attack, Lao Wang would coil himself into a mosquito coil, otherwise he would definitely not be able to reach it in his current position.

The centipede did not realize what happened at first, but the pain of the broken shell made it very unhappy. However, the next second, the big magic wand embedded in it seemed to suddenly become a powerful water pump, and the red and white light mist gushed out from its back like a flood.

Creatures like this that act more on instinct than on wisdom usually have a greater perception of their physical condition than humans. The centipede almost immediately stretched its body and gave up Lao Wang, and the whole thing bounced out more than ten meters away, biting off the big magic wand on its back and throwing it far away.

"Don't let it run away!"

The blood-gourd-like Lao Wang yelled with a ferocious face. This time he finally learned to be smart. At least he didn't pray for treatment and brushed it down without caring.

It's impossible to run away. Teacher Cang thinks the horns on the top of this thing are very nutritious.

After a brief and not too tragic fight, the more than ten-meter-long centipede was straightened like a dying belt and spread out on the ground for people to see and humiliate.

In terms of actual combat level, this second-stage centipede performs as well as a mid-to-high-level zombie in the third stage, with a strong and violent body and agile and decisive movements. Especially when Li Cang saw the words [Corpse Poison Resistance] written in the skill list, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Damn! This thing must be using zombies as materials to reproduce!"

After more than 40 minutes of carpet search, the entire sky island was crushed and spread on the ground. After identification inch by inch, the centipede's nursery was finally found.

Tens of millions of densely packed orange-yellow caviar-like centipede eggs were attached to the inside of the zombies that were shriveled to the point of only a layer of skin. Some of them had hatched into small centipedes with blue heads, red bodies, and white feet that were two knuckles long. They twisted into a ball in a horrifying posture, wriggling in horror, tearing and gnawing at the zombies' sacs while fighting and devouring each other.

The result was undoubtedly disappointing. The centipede babies that had already hatched were not even the first-stage reserve, and were as fragile as ordinary insects.

"A bug is still a bug after all." Li Cang was inevitably disappointed. "I don't know how many nests of eggs it needs to hatch before it can raise a truly qualified offspring."

If it is born with attributes, it can be handed over to the Academy of Sciences or Jin Yujing for a little research. It is conceivable that it will be a lucrative business. However, this model of raising centipedes is not feasible. God knows how many resources are needed for the centipede babies to grow to the level of their mothers.

"Keep it?"

"Keep it, don't kill it, or it will be a nest for insects." Li Cang thought for a while, "Let's try roasting a few pieces of meat tonight."

Old Wang raised his thumb and grinned with joy: "Teacher Cang, you know how to live!"

The deeper you go into the criss-crossing gravel river, the more isolated islands covered with vines there are, but most of them have no strange beasts on them, and you haven't even seen a second beautiful centipede.

The four people and the sky island rushed all the way and scraped the ground three feet. On the fourth day, the gravel river in the airspace ahead was no longer a gurgling stream. It gradually turned into a raging sea that stretched across hundreds or thousands of kilometers of airspace. The "gravel" flowing in it was like a glacier that melted and collapsed in the polar spring. With the earth-shaking explosion, it collided with extremely brilliant sparks. Some "river sections" were even burning with blazing flames.

Various strange beasts began to appear frequently in the river, drifting, lurking, and hunting in hidden corners that were invisible to everyone, living their own lives comfortably and undisturbed.

"Boom!"

Just less than 5 kilometers in front of the sky island, a blazing blue flash suddenly exploded into countless crackling arcs, turning all the boulders flowing in the river within a radius of several hundred meters into uniform, fist-sized charred particles. At the center of the explosion, a huge figure flashed and disappeared, taking its prey back into the depths of the river.

"Damn," Lao Wang said, "I admit that I lack a sense of security. Did anyone see what that thing was?"

Li Cang and Tai Xiaoyi shook their heads together. They were not particularly perceptive masters, and they were too far away. They basically only saw flashes of lightning and movement of black shadows. They knew no more than Lao Wang.

Li Laixi frowned and said uncertainly: "Looking at the undulating outline of the surrounding rocks, it looks like a big manta ray. It must be twenty or thirty meters long and about the same width."

The four people looked at each other.

Yes, it’s another conceptual beast. This Liusha River is indeed a river. Isn’t it normal to have some fish?

At night, Kongdao encountered its first attack in recent times. Thirteen night patrol dogs disappeared silently, and a magic mountain had half of its arm torn off. The scene was tragic.

In the early morning, Li Cang, who was brushing his teeth and stewing meat bones in a large enamel vat, was leaning forward to dig out the grubs. The river of gravel below the island base suddenly burst out, and countless huge rocks moved in strange, hurricane-like waves. Sweeping by like a gesture, Li Cang and his enamel jar disappeared directly into the river without making any movement.

Lao Wang, who was in front of the stilted building, spat out toothpaste half a foot away: "Holy shit, shit, Teacher Cang got rolled down——"

Li Laisi gargled her mouth: "If it were me, I would be more sensible and find someone else."

It's not that they haven't tried going down to the river to track down those strange beasts that they feel are very powerful and worthy of a try, but the hardness and density of the boulders really don't allow them to be too arrogant. Let's put it this way, Li Leisi went in fully armed. It's hard to survive more than a minute and a half.

Without vision, they have to face the grinding and impact of endless boulders every moment. Who knows how these monsters in the river survive and can still move normally.

Ten seconds after Teacher Cang went down, scarlet foehn pillars dozens of meters high sprang up one after another from the gradually flattening river. The brilliant white light diffused almost instantly and covered the 5-kilometer radius of the river, mixed with some kind of baby cry. There was a strange mute howl, raging hurricane waves were set off everywhere, stones were flying everywhere, and blood and unknown mucus were stuck to the rolling stones.

Li Leisi: "Well, I said so!"
