Qingqiu thought for a while and said: Let me explain to you like this, they are like a kind of parasite that lives in the water, and this is what they hate most in the body of the person who falls into the water, they only choose the human body.It then occupies the human body and uses it to reproduce.It's disgusting stuff anyway.Ming Xia heard the words parasite, and felt that his whole body began to itch, what can I do, we are splashed with water Nanjiang couldn't cry or laugh, it's not so contagious.Qingqiu looked at him stupidly, what happened when he splashed the water?
Parasite, next summer madness, didn't you say it just now?
Qingqiu craned his neck, his eyes widened, and the parasite was in their bodies, not in the river.The water is fine, I can't see it, you're sorry for your life next summer.Ming Xia thought to himself, isn't this nonsense, he hasn't lived enough, a lot of good days are waiting for him, why does he want to die in the hands of monsters?
And it's such a disgusting youkai?
Don't worry, Nanjiang patted him on the shoulder, as long as he didn't be dragged into the water by them, he would be fine.Ming Xia breathed a sigh of relief.The entire team of Nanjiang was sprayed back by water arrows like high-pressure water guns, Li Youran was better, Bai Ying ran slowly, and his whole body was soaked.Fortunately, the equipment is fine, these people are well-trained, and they won't lose things just because they run away.Nanjiang summoned them together for a meeting.Qingqiu first raised his wings and asked to speak.Its posture is so resolute that everyone is embarrassed to grab it.So Nanjiang can only helplessly point to it, you say.Our destination is somewhere in the north, right?
Qingqiu stared at Nanjiang very seriously, as if he was afraid that he would miss some subtle expression on his face that he wanted to hide in the blink of an eye.I just want to ask why do you have to take the road of Xixin River?
The Washheart River is the place where the fish woman is sealed.Fishwomen are not difficult to deal with, but they are too troublesome, but whenever a living creature comes near the river, they will go crazy.What a lot of movement along the way, right?
Maybe it will attract a powerful enemy.Nanjiang bowed slightly, this question is a good question.But Qingqiu, what were you doing when you were discussing the route before?
Qingqiu, Qingqiu turned his head to look at Ming Xia.Ming Xia looked at it helplessly, he was just a technical foreign aid, and people didn't take him to meetings, he didn't know.Qingqiu shrunk his neck and was silent.Nanjiang is also helpless, I will say this question again, and I will listen to it next summer.Ming Xia hurriedly sat up straight, and at the same time reached out to take the listless Qingqiu into his arms and smoothed his hair.From Supply Station No. 1 to the destination, there are three routes.Nanjiang looked at his chicken-like team members, with a little wry smile on his face, one was to walk nine acres of plum fields, one was to enter the leather face mountain, and the other was to go upriver along the Xixin River.The crowd listened in silence.If you want to talk about these three roads, the terrain of nine acres of plum fields they have already seen, the trees are dense, and the forest is full of half-human-high shrubs and weeds, and to wade through such a place, opening the road is a big project.Besides, although the large array of Gu carvings sealed in the forest was complete in appearance, Qingqiu had seen a living Gu carving with his own eyes.Therefore, it is still unknown how many Gu Eagles are hidden in Merlin at present.The worst result is that the Gu Eagle has turned nine acres of plum fields into a huge ambush circle.The second road, Leatherface Mountain.No one has ever walked this road.The entire mountain is marked blank on the map of Group 6.This means that since the completion of the Great Array, no one has entered this place, and no one knows the terrain, what monsters are hidden, and which big demons are sealed.Qingqiu's shoulders collapsed, and the rest of the people fell silent.Mingxia silently chanted these two names: Xixin River and Leather Face Mountain.I don't know who gave this name, but it is in the same vein as the good reform of modern prisons and the re-existence of people.Nanjiang looked around, the choice of route, now everyone is clear, right?
If there are no objections, let's look at how to solve the problem on this line now.Ming Xia lowered his voice and asked Qingqiu blankly, is that one in the river difficult to deal with?
Is there a more scientific explanation?
Qingqiu leaned over and touched his cheek, and quietly gave him science in a way that only they had, and in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is said that it is a monster that has been revived from the death of Zhuan.Next summer, does this little thing know what a scientific explanation is?
Isn't this still a legend?
What kind of tribal leader is this Zhuan Xuan from ancient times, right?
Is it the Five Emperors?
That's him.Qingqiu said: It is said that when he died, just in time for the snake to turn into a fish, he took advantage of the fact that the snake was about to turn into a fish but had not yet taken shape, and got into the body of the fish, and died and came back to life.Ming Xia retorted, where is this called death and resurrection, this is obviously about to die but not die, but it merged with the monster and mutated into a monster!
It's like the guy in that movie I showed you, who was infected with the zombie virus and then turned into a zombie!
Qingqiu, he couldn't refute it.Anyway, that's what is written in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".Qingqiu continued to explain weakly, but Hu Lao's statement was similar to yours.He felt that the fish was actually dead when it entered the body, and that the one who was alive with the body of a half-fish and half-man was actually a parasite.And this parasite is the real fish woman.This explanation is still relatively close to science.Mingxia nodded, and then was a little dazed.In this realm, can science really be emphasized?
In short, there is no such thing as a fish woman with a high IQ.Qingqiu said: But he is fierce by nature and has a strong sense of territory.You see, before we even got close to the river, they started attacking us.It's only at a distance, and if they get close, their tentacles will easily pull people into the river.Mingxia's heart tightened slightly, what would happen if she pulled it in?
What is the method of infection?
This Mo Qingqiu actually didn't want to scare him, but he felt that if he didn't tell the truth, he might take it lightly.So a little tangled up.Just when it was entangled, Nanjiang also happened to explain this problem.Concerned about the environment of the woods, his voice was not high, almost muffled by the sound of the rushing river.The Fish Woman will use the river water to attack her opponents, and the river water is non-poisonous and will not be too dangerous.But be careful not to go near the river, as if dragged into the river, they will pierce the human heart as fast as they can, sucking blood and laying eggs in his body.The parasite will hatch quickly and take over the person's body.Eventually, he will lose his mind, leaving him with a humanoid shell, transformed into a puppet controlled entirely by the Fishwoman.This explanation is really chilling.And the most important point.Nan Jiang looked around at everyone, his tone was extremely solemn, if it was not necessary, he must not take the initiative to attack them.The fish woman is an extremely vengeful beast, and once attacked, they will fight back in a group and never stop.Chapter 45: What to do when you encounter an opponent who can't be avoided and can't fight (and probably can't beat either)?
The answer is only two words: endure.Ming Xia wore a uniformly issued military raincoat, a backpack behind his back, and a crossbow in his hand.Qingqiu was still in his scarf pocket and hung in his raincoat.This little thing can't wear a raincoat by itself, and when it encounters the fish woman's high-pressure water gun, there is nothing to do except flap its wings and fly around.After a few times, Ming Xia couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but stuff it into his raincoat.Qingqiu was also tired of fluttering, and honestly nested in his scarf pocket, only poking his little head out of Ming Xia's neckline and looking around, and once he found that a fish woman was attacking, he immediately retracted his head.After two days of driving under the high-pressure shower of the fish woman, Mingxia finally discovered the strangeness of this river.It is not a river in the true sense of the word, or it is not the great river that flows into the sea in nature as Ming Xia perceives.This thing called the Washing Heart River, it has no head or tail at all, or it is located on an extremely strange coordinate in the large array, using a certain spatial folding technique to connect the source and end of the river, forming an independent closed circulation system.So, in the morning, Ming Xia saw himself following the team upstream, and groups of black shadows passed by them from time to time in the big river in the distance, swimming quickly in the direction of the downstream.At three o'clock in the afternoon, he would find himself walking along the current, and the shadows that had passed them a few hours earlier were chasing one after the other, and swimming merrily in the direction of the current.People who walk will generally habitually use the scenery around them as a reference, but because this river is so strange, Ming Xia will even have a sense of confusion, as if he is walking forward for a while, and then going backward for a while.Or a short film that I just watched, and I don't know who pressed the backwards button in the blink of an eye.As a result, these fish women trapped in the river are endlessly repeating the process of forward, backward, forward, and backward.He also finally understood why a river would become a formation to seal demon beasts, because it had no entrance or exit at all, it was just a cage that would flow.Mingxia thought to herself, this is really a terrible place.Some say that fish have only seven seconds of memory.It's hard to say whether the fish woman is a fish or not, but this conclusion may be true.Because the demon beast fish women in the Xixin River, whether they swim south or north, they have to launch an attack on them every time they pass by, as if they don't remember that this group of people in raincoats has been swept away by them over and over again.At a distance of nearly sixty meters, the fish women sank in the water again, and the people on the shore could not see their appearance clearly, so they could only infer from the black shadows they saw that this monster was nearly one meter six in length, which was almost the height of an adult woman, and its body shape was similar to that of an adult woman.The back is blue-gray, the head is darker, like long hair, and it looks like it has hands and feet from a distance, but it vaguely resembles a baby fish.The appearance of the fish woman who made up for the brain in the next summer is a fattened version of the baby fish.There was the sound of the river rattling in his ears, and Qingqiu, who was nested in the raincoat of Mingxia, turned over, muttered impatiently, and came again.Bother.Ming Xia turned his head to look and saw that there were waves on the surface of the river, which had been very calm a few minutes ago, and between the waves, the flow of the river quietly changed.Ming Xia glanced at the watch on his wrist, and sure enough, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, accurate, not bad.I wonder if there is anything special about this time?
Nanjiang also walked back from the front of the team, reminding his teammates as he walked to speed up!
Keep your distance and it's coming again.Within ten minutes of the river changing direction, the largest group of fish women would pass by, which was the most dangerous time for them.Because of the large number of attacks, the splash of the attack is also large, and if you are not careful, you will be knocked down.The terrain by the river is complicated, and Li Youran was swept down by a water arrow a day ago, and almost hit his head on the rock.The terrain I passed through in the first two days was a river beach full of reefs, and although the ground was full of rocks, it was difficult to walk, but the advantage was that you could find a larger reef to hide.Today, I finally managed to get out of the rocky beach, but I found that the change of terrain made them more troublesome.The reef-covered beach seems to have been swept over again by a giant broomstick.The reef was swept into a heap, and as the undulating terrain gradually progressed into a steep mountain terrain where there was nowhere to put your feet.The side facing the river bank turned into a gentle sandy area.There is no obstruction, and their presence is simply conspicuous when viewed from the direction of the Washing Heart River.After coming out of the rocky beach, because the environment has become much more open, Nanjiang has adjusted the forward formation accordingly, from the original formation of the first road to the rear triangle formation.Ming Xia hung Qingqiu and walked in the middle and back position, with Tang Xun and Bai Ying behind him.They also carried crossbows in their hands.In the vicious battle at the supply depot, they witnessed the terrifying scene of the black snake being torn apart by guns and bullets, and everyone in the team developed a new habit of never leaving the crossbow.Ming Xia heard the sound of the river that seemed to be louder than just now, and was about to turn his head to take a look, when he felt a pair of hands behind him push him violently.Ming Xia was defenseless, staggered a few steps, and almost fell headlong.But then a whip made of water snapped at the place where he had been standing, and the water splashed and soaked the sand at Mingxia's feet.Immediately afterward, countless arrows rose from the river and struck them in the direction where they stood.The sound of surging water rang out, and for a moment suppressed the shouts between them.Mingxia bent down to protect the green hill on his chest, and chased after his teammates in front of him at a trot.Nanjiang said that when they are attacked by the fish woman, the only way is to hold their heads and run away, and when they run out of the range that the fish woman can attack, they will give up chasing and turn to find a more easily dealt with target.But there seemed to be more of these fish women than they had encountered before, and they seemed to influence each other, one began to attack the shore, and the rest joined in the attack, as if they had agreed, and the dense water arrows rushed ashore, and the rushing people could not stand steadily.Ming Xia's eyes can't be opened.He put one hand around Qingqiu in the raincoat on his chest, and the other hand tightly held the bow and crossbow.He is not a battle-hardened fighter like Nanjiang, he will be nervous and panicked when he is attacked, and only by holding his weapon tightly will he feel confident in his heart.As he was bending down and running forward with all his might, he heard a cry from someone behind him, followed by a thud, as if someone had fallen.Ming Xia turned around and saw Bai Ying, who was pushing him behind him just now, fall to the ground and get up with his hands.Seeing that Ming Xia was going to turn around and pull him, he waved his hand to signal him not to come over and continue to run forward.Ming Xia knew that his mobility was not as good as these people, and he was never strong, so he continued to run according to his instructions, but he didn't expect to hear Bai Ying following after running two steps.When he turned around, he saw that Bai Ying was still lying on the ground struggling, not because he couldn't get up because he fell hard, but because his legs, feet and arms were tightly entangled.Ming Xia's hair stood on end, he always thought that the tentacles made of these river water only had the function of high-pressure water guns, but he didn't expect that they could really be used as tentacles.This bizarre function once again refreshed the ability of his three-view monsters, which is really fucking incredible.Ming Xia didn't care about being scared anymore, rushed up in three steps and two steps, grabbed Bai Ying's shoulders and began to pull back.The owner of the tentacle seemed to be defenseless and someone came to snatch the prey from it, and one was carelessly dragged back two meters away by Ming Xia.Then he was furious, stretched his tentacles again, and entangled Bai Ying to death.Ming Xia didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, and the sand under his feet was a little slippery.He didn't make much effort to hold Bai Ying's shoulders, but the speed of dragging towards the river increased significantly.Bai Ying rolled her eyes by the tentacles, and Ming Xia didn't care about obeying Nanjiang's words at this time that she couldn't take the initiative to attack, so she took out the dagger in her boots and stabbed it into the tentacles.The tentacles exploded with a snap, splashing his face.But then several more tentacles stretched out of the river, and two of them were still rushing towards Ming Xia.Maybe Mingxia's behavior of snatching prey with it made it a little confused and a little jealous, and for a while it did not classify Mingxia as a prey, but regarded him as an opponent who snatched prey with it, and secretly became vigilant.Several tentacles worked together, and Bai Ying was almost dragged towards the river at a skating speed.Ming Xia refused to let go, and was dragged to sit on the ground and slide forward, feeling that his pants were about to wear out.Seeing that the river was getting closer and closer, Ming Xia knew that if he didn't think of a way, it wouldn't take two minutes for both of them to be dragged into the river.
