Chapter 225 River of Parasites (43)

"This form."

Ian frowned slightly.

He couldn't help but think of a parasite called 'Coloria trematode'.

It is a kind of parasitic snail, which makes the snail's eye stalks swell and protrude, and it keeps wriggling, attracting these snails to be eaten by birds... It can manipulate the snail's actions and make the other party go against its normal nocturnal behavior. Head to the high places in the foliage to be hunted by other creatures.

Although I don't know what happened to the parasites in the monitor lizard, this abnormal behavior does not conform to the usual behavior pattern of the blue-armored lizard.

This vicious parasite can obviously affect the brain of a creature.

"It's only been a few minutes? It's already eroded to this point. Although the green-armored lizard is not a magical beast, it is indeed easy to be parasitized without the internal energy circulation, but the speed is really too fast."

Taking out the Chongyuan Iron Sword from his waist, Ian stepped forward slowly.

The leader of the lizard group let out a roar. This giant beast, which was more than three meters long and weighed more than half a ton, lowered its head and pointed the protruding horn on the top of its head at the enemy in front of it.

Then he charged hard.

Boom boom boom, the ground shook.Even if it is not a magical beast, the charge of the Cyan Armored Lizard is like a bull rushing. With the power transmission effect brought by the sturdy armor, even the overlord of the jungle, the sharp-clawed tiger, will temporarily avoid the edge.

But with the clanging and buzzing of the long sword, Ian had already raised the sword and swung it out.

Before the sword arrived, a stream of water-based source material visible to the naked eye had condensed on the blade, and then turned into a materialized water blade that broke through the air and headed straight for the green-armored lizard with enough power to smash solid rocks. The head shot away.

This water blade is not sharp, after all, it does not have a special constricting structure, but its power is extremely thick, it is like an invisible sledgehammer.

When it hit the head of the blue-armored lizard, the skull, which was originally strong enough to crush the reef, and the impact horns disintegrated and shattered like crispy biscuits, and even the spine was deformed by the structure of the bombardment, and the bones were shattered inch by inch. ,

With just this sword, Ian will behead the blue-armored lizard without even using the earth-attribute source quality that is really matched with the Abyss Iron Sword.

——Who said that a water blade cannot kill without a blade?
It feels like this water blade hammer has some potential...at least against heavily armored enemies.

With this in mind, Ian looked at the lizards again.

Theoretically, after the father of the lizard group is killed, his spouse and heirs should flee in all directions... Even enemies that cannot even be defeated by the leader are pure sentient beings, and the inheritance instinct in their bloodlines will not allow them to lose their lives. sent here.

However, the other five big and small blue-armored lizards did not back down at all after seeing Ian kill the big lizard.

In other words, they didn't notice the previous battle at all - because their physical fitness was not as good as that of the big lizard, they only started howling now, and then locked their eyes on Ian.

Immediately afterwards, just like the big lizard before, they rushed over one after another without any coordination!
All of a sudden, the roar of lizards charging was heard in the empty cave.

The monitor lizards stepped on the blood of the lizard father, shaking the ground with the pace of the enemy's attack, which looked extraordinarily tragic.

And Ian just drew out the sword, out the sword.

That's all, they smashed all their heads, and their headless bodies lay limp on the ground, twitching from time to time.

The sublimator's advantage over ordinary creatures is all-round and crushing - the force of Ian's sword swing may be heavier than the entire body weight of the blue-armored lizard, and there is no suspense in this battle.

But he didn't relax. Instead, he immediately came to the corpses of the lizards, and bent down to observe the blue-black worms that were still wriggling in the other's shattered heads.

This is a small bug that is difficult to see with the naked eye, but it is extremely numerous, and when gathered together, it forms small blue-black wriggling spots-these small bugs are actually constantly dying and renewing iterations, and the blue ones are active , the black ones are dead bodies.

Originally, the eyes of the green lizard were almost occupied by this blue parasite.It even began to emit a faint fluorescence, but with the death of the host, these parasites also began to lose their activity, making the pupils and skin of the green-armored lizard turn black.

The silver streamer swept over these bugs.

【Massive Parasite Unnamed (South China Sea Relics Group)】

【The first energy level · excellence】

[The vicious parasites inhabiting the ecological circle of the underground relics in the South China Sea need to live in suitable flowing water and living organisms. They mainly attack the biological cerebellum, frontal lobe and temporal lobe, and will replace their functions after being devoured.If the host dies or is out of the suitable environment, it will die soon】

[By contacting the parasite through a wound, the eggs cannot break through the mucous membrane. If you drink it, as long as there is no wound in the mouth and stomach, it will not be regarded as the terminal host]

【…】

This time, the data of the silver chip is not very much. Although the specific parasite size, energy level and microscopic modeling are also available, Ian really needs very little information.

"Unnamed? It seems that I was the first to discover it."

Standing up, Ian thought deeply: "The lizards are parasitized, probably because they have wounds in their mouths and stomachs—this is the case for most wild creatures, so after drinking a lot of water, they are invaded by parasites in the water."

"This is a parasite of the first energy level. In other words, it is a sublimated species. It is indeed easy to deal with ordinary monitor lizards of the incompetent level... If it is a sublimated person, even the spontaneous flow of source matter in the body can Stop the parasitic trend."

The source quality flowing in the sublimator is a microscopic pure energy state structure, which can be coupled with organelles to allow the human body to "sublime" - even nano-robots cannot be smaller than it, and it is impossible to solve a parasite. What a breeze.

Ian waited patiently for another ten minutes, cut open the monitor lizard's body with his sword, and after confirming that most of the parasites deep in the flesh and blood were dead, he nodded slightly: "The vitality is not very strong. The main parasitic part is the brain. But there is also a tendency to spread towards the whole body... a bit reckless, I should wait a little longer to see what these parasites look like when they mature."

At this moment, the boy's expression was indifferent. He didn't feel uncomfortable because of the horror and nausea of ​​this parasite, but instead had a strong curiosity.

Ian raised his head and looked towards the blue river.

He observed closely, and found that it was just as he thought—in this azure blue river, all the tiny blue components were the eggs and corpses of bugs... Although there were also some mineral components, they were obviously not the main factor!

This entire river is a river of parasites!

"The upstream should be the nest of these bugs, right?"

Looking up at the upper reaches of the small river, Ian fell into thought: "It seems that the underground monuments not only have ecology, but also a very dangerous ecology."

If it's just danger, it won't stop Ian in his tracks.Regardless of the terrifying appearance of this parasite, in fact, to him, taking a bath in the river has nothing to do with it.

With a silver chip and an ancient dragon core, even if he drank water full of parasite eggs like the giant lizard, he would not be infected because of this, but could turn them into high-quality protein.

But one thing to say, there is no need to torture yourself like this-curiosity is a good thing, and there is no need to use it on this.

What really made Ian fall into contemplation were those 'parasites' that hovered and flickered in the monitor lizard's eyes.

This reminded him of a 'plague' that occurred in the colony on the back of the South Ridge six years ago.

"Flash mosquito?"

The young man whispered to himself, and his tone was guarded: "Could it be that the flash mosquito disease that the aborigines spread in the past has something to do with this parasite?"

　I saw someone say it was short and I didn’t read it, but today’s first 3 chapters are considered as an introduction to the plot, you can’t expect to kill and kill immediately as soon as you come out, or start to know everything immediately.

Because I am not happy with this kind of comment, I will add another chapter today (I don’t want you to read it all later, I am really annoying, every time I write a transition and import the plot, some people will read it madly), there are 9000 words today, I hope you don’t keep talking It's short, if you read it, it seems that you haven't read it. Any novel has its plot with turning points. I also pay attention to the description of the ruins. The plot of Sequoia Base is very important. I just pay attention to it, so I don't want to unfold it casually.

Happy Labor Day everyone!
