Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 436 Popular home travel essentials
The wind blew across the land of the farm one after another, hitting the skin coolly, still as refreshing as 10 minutes ago-but Lin Sanjiu hoped that the wind would stop and not blow any more.

For the first time in her life, she smelled "the smell of bugs" from the wind.

... I am afraid that not many people in the world know what the body odor of bugs is like, which is really their luck.

After insisting on staring at the beetle for a few seconds, even the well-informed Lin Sanjiu couldn't help it anymore, and finally lowered her eyes; if she continued to stare at the beetle, she was afraid that she would die if she opened her mouth. will spit it out.

His eyes fell on the ground of the earthen bridge. Although the oily and thick insect legs were still faintly visible in the corner of his vision, Lin Sanjiu still felt a little better in his stomach.After a while, she took a breath and asked, "Is there a time limit for my conversation with you?"

"Yes, each team member in each group can only talk to me for one minute, and you don't have to say anything." The beetle seemed not to notice her ugly face, and smiled while shaking the thin legs on its abdomen: "...But it needs to be Note that only one person can speak at a time, and they cannot speak together at the same time. If they speak together, no matter how many people speak, they will all lose the opportunity to talk to me."

Hearing this, Lin Sanjiu quickly exchanged glances with No. 43.

"Is the purpose of your coming here to eat us?" She calmed down and asked while thinking, "How often do you come here?"

Harry gave too little information, so he could only inquire from the pests.

"Oh, it doesn't matter how often, I'll come here as long as I'm hungry." The giant beetle moved its body, and the way its countless tentacles and slender legs swayed was enough to make people's nerves tense. "...For a beautiful young lady like you, it's a bit embarrassing to say that I want to eat you, but it's true—that's right."

"...how do you want to eat?"

"I'm also a gentleman when I eat. It's just a few bites each time. At most, you will leave a row of marks on your body."

That's what he said, but Harry reminded that every time he is bitten, he will lose his physical strength for a month... If the "bitten" is counted as "one bite", then the danger is not small.

Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked: "That is to say, the six people here—no, Liu Keya, you only need to bite a few bites every time you come here, and you don't necessarily have to bite on the same person, right? ?”

"That's right. But it's troublesome to bite a bud. If possible, I still hope to solve it in one place." The beetle rubbed the pair of thin legs at the top of its abdomen again.

"It's about a place, not a person or a bud." Fontaine's murmur echoed in his ears.

Indeed - Lin Sanjiu was immediately reminded by his subconscious mind.The beetles were unwilling to change places, but they didn't say they couldn't change people; in other words, the purpose of the grouping was that everyone could bear the losses together without serious casualties?

Then in this way, it really turned into a competition between groups... There were only two people on my side, so I took a greater risk at the beginning and fell into a disadvantage.

For a while, Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to sort out his thoughts or come up with a solution, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the basis for you to select the plant sprouts?"

"Basically, after dealing with you, I can make a judgment based on this." The beetle narrowed its eyes.

Saying it is the same as not saying it—Lin Sanjiu began to feel a little anxious.At this point in the conversation, there was still no progress at all, the bugs just kept coming and going in circles; in fact, it didn't tell her much more than what Harry said.

"Just tell us, what can we do to prevent you from biting us?" Lin Sanjiu became impatient, and asked directly: "...What do you want? Special items? Food? Or something else?"

"Oh, I'm just a bug, those things are useless to me—ah, your 1 minute is up, I almost let you get away with it." As if thinking that he was very funny, The gigantic beetle laughed tremblingly for a while, and its two long tentacles fluttered and swayed in the air.

Although this result was not unexpected, Lin Sanjiu still secretly scolded his mother in his heart. 1 minute is really not long, and she left without asking anything—when she took a step back to the side, she turned her eyes and landed on the earth bridge opposite—the four people were at this time again. They all stood up, looking at this side without blinking their eyes; except for No. 47 who was expressionless, the others, including No. 46, seemed a little nervous.

Seeing that the bug took a step towards him, No. 48's Adam's apple slid up and down, but his bare feet still did not move away from the ground, and were still firmly pressed on the ground.

The beetle's round eyeballs moved down and then up again.

Just now, Lin Sanjiu only had a one-minute conversation with it, which was obviously not enough time for No. 1 to come up with a countermeasure—he tried to ask several questions in a row, but they were all confused by the beetle just like before. In addition to knowing that "different buds have different tastes", which is not helpful, it is not even as much information as Lin Sanjiu inquired about.

"Well, wait, let me think about it." Seeing that he didn't have much time, No. 48 was already sweating on his forehead, and his toes were sunk in the mud before he knew it: "Damn it!" , physical recovery is too slow—yes, right, it’s all the same, you can go to the other side, it’s okay, right?”

"Oh, it's time."

The beetle squinted its eyes and laughed, its round compound eyes as big as a human head turned around on the two of them. "...Eh, actually, I've already made up my mind."

At that moment, Lin Sanjiu felt her heart skip a beat; at the same time a shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes, her body had already reacted one step ahead—almost like a conditioned reflex, when she stepped back When he jumped, the [Tornado Whip] in his hand had already appeared out of thin air, and he rushed towards the shadow in front of him instantly.

However, this time, 【Tornado Whip】couldn't stir up even a single star ripple in the air, causing the black shadow to approach; the next second, there was a sharp pain in her arm, and she couldn't even whip it. Holding it, it fell to the ground with a "snap".

It wasn't until Lin Sanjiu's legs went limp and fell to the ground immediately after the whip that she belatedly felt the consequences of a sudden and significant weakening of her physical strength—the chest and abdomen were instantly dried up as if she had been crushed. It was as if the fire had been burning for several days, and her vision suddenly blurred; she wanted to move, but all she could move up and down for a moment was her trembling lips.

"49! Are you alright!" No. 43 screamed, quickly crawled over to support her head, and swept away the mud splashed on her face.

Lin Sanjiu blinked vigorously a few times, and then slowly saw something clearly again.

"Actually, I'm not very hungry today," the gigantic beetle laughed while shaking the shell on its back: "...For the sake of being a pretty lady again, I only bit you twice. Oops , I have to say, your taste is quite good, the leaves are crispy and the juice is sweet..."

"Go away!" No. 43 was enraged at once, seeing that she was even more angry than Lin Sanjiu, she picked up her shoe and threw it at it - when the shoe was about to hit the beetle, the beetle suddenly He opened his back shell to stop it, revealing a more disgusting wrinkle underneath.

"Then, see you next time." The beetle didn't seem to care about this behavior, which was not even an attack, and completely spread its wings; Lightweight, he quickly turned around and flew down the earth bridge.

When it completely disappeared into the ground, Lin Sanjiu sat up tremblingly supporting his body.Sure enough, the so-called one-month physical weakness is calculated according to the "one bite" of the insect bite-she hadn't eaten a grain of rice for a month, and she consumed too much energy in the burrow, plus this time After being bitten twice, I almost couldn't hold it for a while.

"I'll help you, take off your shoes," No. 48 said, taking her arm.Just as he was about to say something, Lin Sanjiu beside him suddenly paused—then, low cheers from the other side of the earth bridge floated into their ears at the same time.

"Sure enough, it's that group that bites!" The high-pitched voice undoubtedly belonged to No. 45, and she said excitedly, "46's method really matters—" and was immediately caught by a voice belonging to No. 48. It was stopped: "Stop talking, watch out for them to hear!"

"******," No. 43 scolded immediately, "What method did they use? Why are those guys' minds so quick on this matter?"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't utter a single word at this time, and naturally couldn't answer him, so he rested on the spot for a long time before taking off his shoes and socks with difficulty.After doing such a little thing, she was already out of breath, and her chest heaved violently for a long time, and it was only a little relief.

Seeing that she could move a bit, No. 43 helped her to the edge of the fence so that she could rest against the earthen wall.Lin Sanjiu frowned and stared at the gradually darkening sky for a while, then finally spoke out weakly.

"You just said...their minds turn quickly on this kind of matter?" Her voice was so thin that it seemed that it could disappear into the air at any time, but she maintained it all the time: "...what do you mean?"

No. 43 was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting her first question to be this.

"This..." He obviously hesitated, and after glancing at Lin Sanjiu, he finally opened his mouth as if explaining something: "I know that I am not smart and have an impulsive temper, so after I left After returning home, I have been telling myself that I have to keep everything in my heart, and I can’t get close to people, just because I’m afraid of losing money.”

"The reason why I told you this is to tell you that I didn't mean to hide it from you—it's just a habit I've always had." No. 43 sighed, "When I was in the burrow, I grabbed Your rope, all depended on you to hang me up... At that time, I couldn't use any strength in my body, I could only kick my legs back and forth, and a large piece of soil happened to be kicked off by me, so I could see clearly what's down there."

"what?"

"...a human leg." No. 43 swallowed, obviously not liking the scene in his mind: "The rest is still buried in the soil, and I can't see anything. I, I was scared at the time." I jumped, and when I wanted to take a closer look, you just pulled me up a little—although I just glanced at it quickly, it seems that there is a pair of dark blue pants on that person's leg."

Navy blue……

Even though Lin Sanjiu's mind was feeling dizzy now and then due to exhaustion, he immediately thought of the missing number 44—he was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans.

"I didn't kill No. 44, and I certainly didn't kill you," the veins on No. 43's forehead twitched. The water drops were not enough, so they secretly killed No. 44—I guess it was No. 47 who did it—you see, when it was time to regroup, that guy immediately turned to No. 46!"

Lin Sanjiu frowned, feeling vaguely that she could piece together the two broken clues; but what are the two clues and what conclusion can be drawn after putting them together, she is in a daze at the moment Your brain can't come up with an answer at all.

"But no matter what, that's over." No. 43 calmed down, and his tone sank: "...the thing that confuses me the most is what method did they use to keep the bug from going away?" bite them."

Logically speaking, if you want to prevent bugs from biting you, there are two ways: one is to make the other group of opponents look more delicious than yourself; The way of doing business has been denied by the giant beetle.And thanks to Harry's unreasonable rules, they didn't even have the means to fight or bargain when facing bugs.

If you want to come to the group of No. 46, they must have used some means to make them "unpalatable" - Lin Sanjiu thought slowly.

... The sun has gradually tilted towards one side of the sky, and the wind at dusk, wrapped in a much stronger coolness than before, hits the skin in bursts.

Perhaps it was because she had put her bare feet on the ground for a while, Lin Sanjiu couldn't say for sure, but she did feel a thin stream of warmth tickling through her blood vessels, which made her feel a little better Just a little bit.

After discussing for a while without any results, No. 43 lay down on his back on the earth bridge in a daze with a face of frustration; Lin Sanjiu slowly propped up his body and stood up, putting his weight on the ground. On the dirt fence, I looked towards the dirt bridge of the group No. 46.

Originally, she wanted to find out something, but when her eyes swept over it, it was lost immediately - the four people on the other side were very cautious, and they all sat under the earthen wall without raising their heads at this time.

When another gust of wind gently blew on his cheeks, Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly moved for no reason, as if a certain sense had noticed something—looking around, there was no hallucination figure at this time.

After thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu immediately closed his eyes.

With the experience of using "Pure Touch", when she now intentionally focuses all her mind on one of her sense organs, that sense organ will become exceptionally sharp——

This time, this trick also did not disappoint her.

As the gentle wind blows against his cheeks, a familiar smell is gently permeating in the air——Lin Sanjiu has not smelled that kind of smell for at least five or six years, so he was surprised by it for a while. She had doubts; however, after sniffing again, she immediately squatted down and called out: "43!"

"Huh?" Number 43 raised his head from the ground.

"I think I know how that group avoided being bitten by bugs..." She said in a low voice: "I just smelled a smell - which world are you from? In your hometown, is there a person named Essential oils?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" No. 43 sat up suddenly: "My hometown is 'Honey Swamp', and we also have Fengyoujing!"

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.

"It turns out that they put essential oils on their bodies, no wonder!" No. 43 smiled cursingly.
