Chapter 857 Dead Horse as Live Horse Doctor (4000)(2/2)
Judging from the shape of the foreign object, it looks very much like a head.
There is a beak-like mouth on the head, and there is a circle of things like tentacles or suckers on the edge of the mouth. At this moment, the mouth is slightly open, revealing many uneven and inner layers.
The sharp teeth on the outer three layers...
"Is it the kind of monster that attacks big dogs?"
Wu Liang's eyes suddenly widened.
He had carefully observed the strange insects clinging to the floating corpse before, especially the mouthparts of the strange insects.
Therefore, when he saw the larger head and the unique mouthparts in front of him, Wu Liang immediately recognized that this thing was definitely the same thing as the strange insect that attacked the big dog.
"ah?"
Everyone in the Hu army looked suspicious after hearing this.
How could that kind of strange insect appear in this small world and appear together with Yinglong's skeleton?
After all, they have no way to get to the shore, let alone pass through the three gates to enter and exit this small world like them...
"Could it be..."
Zhen Mi also frowned and analyzed deeply, "Gentleman, the Yinglong before was red, and this strange insect was also red when it was in the water. Do you think it is possible that the Yinglong we just saw
It's just a skeleton, but it's just covered with these strange insects that it looks like a giant red dragon?"
"It's not impossible."
Wu Liang nodded slightly, "It's not difficult to confirm this. These strange insects like to attach themselves to bones and suck marrow, so the bones they cling to will leave holes. When we get to the skeleton, we only need to check the keel
You’ll know if there are a lot of holes in it.”
Now Wu Liang is increasingly suspicious that this strange insect is the "bone-eating worm" he had previously guessed.
Although the "bone-eating worms" discovered in later generations are very small, and even in their childhood can only be described as "tiny", compared with the "bone-eating worms" that like to cling to whale bones in later generations, the strange worms in front of us can't climb
It's just a keel. Although a whale is huge, how can it be compared with the legendary dragon?
What's more, any species has the possibility of mutation, especially when the situation changes dramatically.
Even if it is the same "bone-eating worm", it is in the same state when using whale bones as its host. Will it still be in the same state when using the legendary dragon bone as its host?
It's a pity that Big Dog is staying on top of the tiankeng now, and Wu Liang doesn't want to make too much noise to call him, otherwise he will have to ask when the strange insect like Big Dog appeared in the Yellow River...
After all, it cannot be ruled out that after this sacred mountain became the mouth of the Yellow River, the "bone-eating worms" in the ocean climbed up the keel. After being affected by the mysterious power of the keel, they changed from the original "tiny"
"The "bone-eating worms" gradually turned into today's "giant bone-eating worms".
As for why these strange insects appear in the secret realm.
Wu Liang suspected that this might be related to Yinglong's skeleton. If what Yu Ji said before was correct, this small world was actually the place where Yinglong overcame the tribulation, and it was a dragon bone tomb created by it itself.
Then it is very likely that Yinglong's skeleton exists in both worlds at the same time, and these strange insects have formed a parasitic relationship with the skeleton, so they can follow the dragon in and out of the secret realm without passing through the three gates.
With such questions.
Wu Liang and others continued to explore downwards, and soon they finally arrived at the skeleton at the bottom of the sinkhole.
at this time.
"ah!"
Bai Jingjing suddenly let out a painful scream.
"Jingjing, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Liang quickly looked back, only to see Bai Jingjing squatting on the ground covering her ears for some unknown reason. The expression on her pretty face was extremely painful, as if she was undergoing unbearable torture.
"I……"
With the support of Zhen Mi and Cao Ni, Bai Jingjing endured the stalemate for a long time and finally regained her composure. Now her face was pale and dripping with sweat. She gritted her teeth and said, "There was a strange voice suddenly in my ear."
