As the clothes on the belly of the floating corpse were cut open, Wu Liang kept a distance and cautiously looked inside.

But the three fishermen took a few steps back subconsciously. It was impossible that they didn't have a little curiosity in their hearts, but in the end the fear of the unknown took over.

Under this, Wu Liang first saw some pink tubes that were intertwined.

Intestines?

The first thing Wu Liang thought of was the intestines. This floating corpse had rotted to such an extent that the skin and flesh on the face had begun to fall off. Naturally, the skin and flesh on the belly would not be much better, so the intestines would naturally be exposed...

But this idea was quickly rejected by Wu Liang.

Although this pink tube is similar in thickness and color to human intestines, don't forget that this is a severely decomposed corpse. As one of the organs with the most bacteria in the human body, it is usually...

The intestines and stomach are the first to start rotting, so at this stage, it may be difficult to leave such intact and fresh intestines.

in addition.

Although the appearance of the intestines should be pink under normal circumstances, in addition to the color of the tissue itself, it is also closely related to the blood vessels that shuttle through the tissue. The blood of the dead body has long been coagulated, and the intestines are

The floating corpse has been soaked in the water for an unknown number of days. Based on this alone, it is absolutely impossible for it to continue to maintain such a vivid color!

What's more, how could the intestines of a dead body move?

But Wu Liang and others just saw with their own eyes something stirring under the clothes of this floating corpse!

"Dian Wei, open the hole wider."

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Wu Liang had already held the diamond umbrella in his hand, and then nodded to Dian Wei.

"Um."

Dian Wei made a nasal sound, changed the direction of his wrist slightly, and made a horizontal slash on the clothes of the floating corpse. Then he lifted all the pieces of cloth to the side with his halberd, so that the entire abdominal cavity of the floating corpse was completely displayed to Wu.

In front of Liang.

It's also this moment.

"What the hell?"

Wu Liang felt an instant numbness on his scalp, and even his back molars felt a little weak.

I saw that the entire abdominal cavity of this floating corpse was filled with pink tubes. These tubes were densely packed and intricately squeezed together. The few exposed ends were still twisting slightly and slowly, forming a

A horrifying picture that can be called the "ultimate welfare" for patients with trypophobia.

Wu Liang couldn't help but think of the original "Insect Giant", but this scene was even more terrifying compared to the original "Insect Giant" because these pink tubes were born directly from a human corpse.

Above, based on the "uncanny valley effect", things that are directly related to the human body will undoubtedly have a stronger impact on people.

"Sir, be careful..."

Dian Wei's lips pursed unconsciously, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Mr. Master, what are those things? Are they all snakes?"

When the three fishermen saw this scene, they immediately took a few steps back. One of them couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and finally asked with a trembling voice.

"have no idea."

Wu Liang shook his head, his brows already furrowed.

These tube-like objects don't look like snakes, because they don't have the scales on one side of the snake. Judging from the way and degree of their twisting, they look more like a leech or a mollusk like an earthworm.

Speaking of which, the color is indeed somewhat similar to earthworms.

Leeches do have bloodthirsty habits and are quite interested in human blood.

But as far as Wu Liang knows, it seems that even in ancient times, there were no leeches or earthworms of this size...

Think like this for a moment.

Wu Liang turned to the three fishermen and asked, "Having lived here for many years and salvaged so many corpses, your ancestors never mentioned anything like this, and have you never seen anything like this?"

"No."

The three fishermen shook their heads like rattles.

"This is strange."

Wu Liangzhong secretly thought, "In this era, transportation is not as convenient as in later generations, so there is no problem of invasion of alien organisms. If this kind of thing is considered a normal creature in nature, it must be a naturally occurring species in the native land. But if it is a native species,

Species, how come these fishermen have never seen it before?”

"Mr. Master, if this thing grows on the corpse, could it be an evil thing transformed by the corpse's deep resentment, just like the 'water monkey' that dragged the big dog into the water?"

A fisherman's face was already a little pale, but he still forced himself to express his guess.

When another fisherman heard these words, his face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he said worriedly: "If so, there are already 'water monkeys' in the Yellow River, and now there is such a kind of creature that I don't know how to harm people."

How can we continue to make a living by fishing here, I'm afraid we can only find another way to survive..."

"..."

Wu Liangze did not express any opinion on the fisherman's speculation, but silently observed the strange things filling the belly of the floating corpse.

Soon he discovered some other details.

The few exposed ends of the pink tubes should not look like their heads, but their tails, because there are no suspected eyes, mouths, or gills on them.

And on their surfaces, Wu Liang also discovered a layer of extremely fine fluff-like things.

Wu Liang is considered a knowledgeable person, but he can't think of any aquatic creatures that would grow such fluff, and these fluff don't seem to be in a static state...

"Catch!"

The diamond umbrella was immediately opened. In order to see more carefully, Wu Liang tried his best to protect most parts of his body with the diamond umbrella and cautiously approached the floating corpse.

Upon seeing this, Dian Wei immediately followed him, hiding behind the diamond umbrella and holding a halberd to guard against any sudden changes.

When you get close enough.

Wu Liang finally confirmed that he had not seen it wrong before, and these "fluffs" were indeed moving!

Those are some small tentacles with a diameter of only about 1 mm and a length of about 2 cm. The twisting amplitude and frequency of these small tentacles are obviously larger than the main body. Even if they have left the water, they seem to be being affected by the water flow.

The drive is generally swaying.

"Mom, what on earth is this?"

At this moment, Wu Liang was becoming more and more confused.

Until now, apart from its appearance, he still knew nothing about this terrifying thing. He had even only seen part of its appearance, but had not yet seen its complete form.

Under such circumstances, it was definitely impossible to bury this thing in such a messy manner. He had to find a way to separate it from the corpse and conduct more detailed observation and research.

"Brothers, please go back and help me call a person named Yu Ji and a person named Zhen Mi."

With this in mind, Wu Liang raised his head and said to the three fishermen.

Yu Ji and Zhen Mi are the most knowledgeable people in the Hu army besides Wu Liang, and their knowledge in some aspects is still better than that of Wu Liang. They may not know things that Wu Liang doesn't know.

"okay!"

The three fishermen naturally wanted it, so they responded quickly and ran away into the distance.

"Dianwei, you raid the formation for me."

Wu Liangzhong already had his own plan, and then he gave Dian Wei instructions, then turned around and picked up the hoe that the fishermen had used to dig the hole, and carefully reached towards the pink tube in the abdominal cavity of the floating corpse.

Soon the hoe was already in front of those pink tubes, and it only needed to move down a few centimeters to make contact with them.

At this time, Wu Liang paused deliberately.

He first wanted to test whether these pink tubes were aggressive, so he deliberately shook the hoe a few times in an attempt to attract the other party's attention.

Sure enough, the pink tube had some reaction.

I saw that the "fuzz" on its surface had changed its swaying direction, but they were not pointing at the hoe, but were pointing in other directions as if avoiding the hoe.

"Not only did you not take the initiative to attack, but you also tried to avoid it?"

Wu Liang concentrated.

This kind of reaction does not mean that this thing is not actively aggressive, it can only mean that it has no interest in the hoe, and may even be a little disgusted. If it were made of the same flesh and blood as the floating corpse, the situation might be different.

However, this also gave Wu Liang some confidence, and he could use the hoe to conduct further experiments.

So Wu Liang finally made the hoe continue to sink, inserted the iron shovel head in front of the hoe little by little into the gap between the pink tubes, and then hooked one of them and slowly pulled it back.

During this process, the pink tube did not make any violent reaction, just like a soft sausage, it allowed Wu Liang to do whatever he wanted.

Soon after.

Wu Liang finally separated a pink tube from the large group of tubes.

It's a pity that the other end buried in the abdominal cavity of the floating corpse did not fall off. It seemed to be fixed inside in some special way... Wu Liang suspected that it was its mouth, most likely like a leech or a lamprey.

The mouth is either sucking firmly on the floating corpse, or biting firmly on the floating corpse.

Judging from the parts that have been separated, this thing should be about half a meter in length alone, with uniform thickness from top to bottom, and should be a soft-bodied creature without vertebrae.

besides.

The layer of "fuzz" on the surface of this thing seems to be very sensitive, but its body is not very sensitive, otherwise it would definitely not be affected by Wu Liang's actions and still not have any reaction. In this case, whether it is a leech or an earthworm,
To be continued...
