After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 751
Quiet dry forest, quiet town...

Aunt Zhu moved her eight legs and chose a house to enter.

Then her voice came out: "Dead."

A family of six, from three-year-old children to sixty-year-olds, is here.

Every corpse was shriveled, as if the last bit of flesh and blood had been sucked dry.

There are several circular holes in each corpse.

Dong Rui went to another house to have a look at the back shed, and clicked his tongue twice: "Even pigs and dogs will not be spared."

Livestock are also killed in the same way.

No matter who the murderer who slaughtered the townspeople was, he really did not leave any dogs behind.

He Lingchuan looked at the window and said, "They broke in from the outside, and there are a lot of them."

Hundreds of people in a town were sucked dry of flesh and blood, and died quietly here.

He Lingchuan noticed that white nets appeared on the open space behind the house again. The nets were very thick and the meshes were very dense. When they were pressed by the snow, no one else wanted to turn them over.

But he wanted to pull out Fusheng and scratch the white net.

During the season when the snow melts, the land should still be frozen, and it will take another month or two before the land can be plowed.But He Lingchuan found that the ground was quite soft, and one after another small soil bumps were formed.

This is probably because something has drilled into the ground to dig out this kind of bulge.

He Lingchuan greeted Dong Rui, went back to the house, took out the shovel, and began to dig.

Dong Rui didn't expect that he would have to do farm work when he entered the town, he yawned every time he shoveled the soil, he didn't want to dig.Aunt Zhu didn't pay much attention to this, her eight paws moved faster than any farm tool to turn the ground.

After she dug a foot down, she suddenly stopped:
"There is something."

This object is three feet long, a bit like a fly but with a swarthy body, a broad head, red eyes, two wings on its back, and a bulging abdomen.

Aunt Zhu picked it up, moved her legs, pressed it on the ground and rubbed it quickly a few times.

It's a spider's habit of feeling its prey -- when it's not sure what it is.

"Dead." It continued to feel, "This is a cicada."

This thing is already dead to the ground, and it's frozen hard.

"Cicada?" He Lingchuan wasn't sure, "Is it a monster? How can a cicada grow so big?"

At this time, he also touched a foreign object under the shovel.

When I dug it out, it was probably like this thing, but it had no wings on its back, and its two forelimbs were extremely long, bent like a praying mantis.

Putting the two things together, you can see the obvious difference.

"Isn't this the same species of cicada?"

He Lingchuan patted their bellies with a shovel: "But the bellies are very soft."

Aunt Zhu is also a worm, she knew it at a glance: "There are eggs."

With a quick scrape of the claws, which were sharper than a knife, the strange cicada's belly was cut open, revealing a lot of white balls inside.

Each grain is the size of a grape and is almost transparent white. He Lingchuan can see that the larvae inside have matured, and they can even move their legs.

It seems that the hatching time is not far away.

It stands to reason that insects should lay their eggs on the ground or in trees, rather than holding them in their stomachs to hatch.

"This may be the 70-year-old cicada!" Aunt Zhu suddenly said, "I only know the 70-year-old cicada as a cicada that lays eggs in its belly."

Before He Lingchuan understood, Dong Rui raised his middle finger: "Impossible, the 70-year-old cicada can grow this big at most. Three feet long? Impossible!"

Aunt Zhu dug out a cicada egg and shook it at him: "I don't know how many cicadas I've eaten, are you questioning me?"

Dong Rui was speechless.

Yes, yes, he has never eaten and has no right to speak.

While observing the cicada corpse, He Lingchuan said, "Can someone explain it to me?"

"The 70-year-old cicada is the longest-lived of all cicadas. In fact, it was also called the 3000-year-old cicada when it was full of aura 17 years ago. It lived underground from egg to larva, and the growth process was extremely slow. It took 16 and a half years. It is not until the last half a year that they transform into adults and crawl out of the ground to look for food and mate."

Aunt Zhu paused and then said: "They will die before the cubs hatch, and the remains will be absorbed by the cicada eggs as feed. However, under the current environment, the time for them to molt into adults is extended to 70 years, and not many cicadas can survive. by that time."

"Aren't these pretty good?" Dong Rui pointed to one small dirt bag after another on the ground, each with at least one adult incubator, right? "You said it was a 70-year-old cicada, but the two corpses dug up looked different. How do you explain that?"

"Indeed, nothing like this has ever been seen before."

"Then have you ever seen such a situation?" He Lingchuan pointed to the cicada corpse he dug up, that is, the one with two forelimbs like a praying mantis.

It was utterly dead, but suddenly its abdomen fluctuated, as if something was scratching and scratching inside, ready to burst out.

When other people saw this scene, their scalps would explode in shock.

Dong Rui let out a huff, and instead took a closer look: "Interesting!"

When He Lingchuan saw his expression, he knew that Frankenstein had been aroused to study again.

Aunt Zhu waved her paw: "Get out of the way." Then she stretched out her toe and swipe on the abdomen of the insect corpse——

With a sound of "Hula", the abdomen of the cicada corpse exploded, and thirty or forty larvae jumped out!
Each of these is like a replica of an adult body, with the same forelegs curved like a sickle, only as long as He Lingchuan's index finger.

As soon as they were born, they rushed towards the two of them without stopping, as if they smelled human.

Aunt Zhu had been prepared for a long time and sprayed out a mouthful of spider webs to catch them all.

These young cicadas wanted to charge them both in the spider web, but He Lingchuan could see that their mouthparts were really thick and long like needles.

The strangest thing is that under their watchful eyes, the body of the young cicada grows at an astonishing speed!

In just a quarter of an hour, they grew to the size of their mothers.

It only took a quarter of an hour to transform from the length of a human index finger to a monster measuring three feet from head to tail!He Lingchuan had never seen a creature with such a short growth cycle.

As they grow up, they become more irritable and make classic chirping cicada calls.

An ordinary cicada as long as a finger can make the whole family sleepless, and the sound of a cicada so big in front of you is several times louder than a small cicada.

And they are still thirty or forty open microphones at the same time, forming a deafening chorus!

At that moment, He Lingchuan only felt that he was standing next to the steamer's whistle, and could not hear anything except the overwhelming cicadas.

Even his brain was buzzing.

Aunt Zhu couldn't stand the noise, and her ears were more sensitive than humans, so she spit out a mouthful of acid on the net.

The strange cicadas screamed, but they couldn't stop the power of the acid, and they were corroded bit by bit.

Aunt Zhu was dissatisfied: "Slow."

With the power of its acid, it should be three times and five divisions.

That is, when the cicadas stopped singing, two rustling sounds suddenly came from the woods ten feet away.

someone?He Lingchuan immediately stood up.

Immediately after, more than ten figures rushed out of the woods and surrounded the two and one spider.
