Chapter 366 Death Sahara (42)
"Let me see, you guys step back first."
It happened that the red sand giants hunting in the sandstorm in the distance seemed to have some disputes with other giants. Wei Xun asked Dream Chaser to go over to help, asked Banming to settle and protect Chen Cheng's team, and Zhang Xingzang and An Xuefeng to beware of the black sand giant and the troublesome West District people of the Silver Moon Killer. He was left alone to stay with Cheng Tianbao.
Dream Chaser, An Xuefeng and Banming knew Bingyi and thought he wanted Tong Hege to come out to help heal Cheng Tianbao, so they listened to his arrangement. Zhang Xingzang trusted his old friend.
After they all left and could no longer sense the situation here, Wei Xun called Tong Hege and carefully examined Cheng Tianbao's body. In just a few minutes, his body was more seriously ulcerated. Those black granulations looked a bit like the snakes of the black sand giants at first glance, but now they are all swollen, like black pimples filled with thick pulp.
The smell of rotten fermentation was getting stronger and stronger, but Cheng Tianbao's heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker. He was having more and more difficulty breathing, and his face was in pain. Tong Hege took off his shirt and found that the festering abscesses from his arms had spread to his chest. The skin that was supported by the thick material was swollen and shiny, without any elasticity. When pressed, it sank like the wrinkled skin of an old man, and a small pit appeared when pressed.
'He is rotten inside, and he won't live long. '
Tong Hege frowned after pressing a few times.
"Can it be cured?"
"Yes."
Even though Cheng Tianbao was so rotten, Tong Hege could still cure him with his strength: "Dig out all the rotten meat, and I will use ginseng slices to keep him alive. If he can survive, he can live, but--"
At least half of Cheng Tianbao's body was rotten, including internal organs, bones, and muscles. Tong Hege whispered to Wei Xun that his condition was definitely not normal. It was not poisoning or normal decay, but more like the effect of being polluted or some kind of out-of-control title.
‘It’s like the title is out of control’
Tong Hege pulled out a piece of his nail, turned it into a jade-like ginseng slice, stuffed it into Cheng Tianbao’s mouth and let him hold it, and then felt it carefully.
‘Excessive pollution caused the physical and mental collapse, which caused the title to be out of control’
Wei Xun knew that the title was not born out of thin air, it was more or less related to the tourist guide himself. Not everyone can activate a certain title task, or complete the task after activation to get the title. It is more like the development of human potential, and the influence and transformation of the human body by the mysterious power of nature and mysterious creatures.
So to a certain extent, the same title may show different strengths in people with different strengths. For example, An Xuefeng’s ‘Explorer’ title is more powerful than Wei Xun’s ‘Explorer’, and the increase is stronger.
Similarly, this also shows that the title is not absolutely stable. Once a person collapses and goes crazy due to pollution, the title will also be out of control. The stronger he is, the more terrible the consequences of the title being out of control. This is also the reason why even top-level tourists like An Xuefeng are still very secretive about pollution invasion.
‘Strange, it doesn’t look like the pollution at 30 degrees north latitude…’
Wei Xun pondered, while Tong Hege talked to himself, still investigating Cheng Tianbao’s situation in more detail. The more he looked at him, the more difficult it felt. Cheng Tianbao’s loss of control to this extent could be said to be finished. This didn’t even look like the loss of control of a purple title or a dark blue title, but more like the loss of control of a terrifying orange title.
It’s very difficult to cure. Even if Bian Que came, he would have to say ‘It can’t be cured, wait for death, goodbye’. Of course, Tong Hege is not a serious doctor. It can be said that he controls ‘vitality’ and ‘vitality’. Theoretically, as long as Ling Shen and Tai Sui are enough, he can save people from the worst of the situation.
But it’s just to save his life. If the rotten meat in Cheng Tianbao’s body is not removed and the problem of the loss of control of the title is not really solved, Cheng Tianbao’s condition will quickly deteriorate. Ling Shen Tai Sui is equivalent to Tong Hege’s flesh and blood. If he consumes too much, he will also be seriously injured, painful and weak.
But Tong Hege listened to Wei Xun. Didn't you see that Captain An had given the matter to Wei Xun? In the end, this was just a scene replay. The real Cheng Tianbao had long been missing on the battlefield.
"How long can you keep him alive with this ginseng slice?"
"Within a quarter of an hour, he will definitely not die."
Tong Hege was confident. He pulled out the nail of his little finger, which was not a big piece, but the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the effect of the ginseng slices transformed from the fingers is second only to the heart.
"He will definitely not die..."
His words seemed to give Wei Xun a shot of reassurance. Wei Xun's brows slowly relaxed, and with his back to An Xuefeng and his group, he took out a cocoon.
"He won't die even if he is eaten up, right? Ah, I mean it's just the rotten meat pollution that is sucked dry"
Ah this...
'Xun'er, where did you get this thing from? ’
Tong Hege stared at the fist-sized cocoon in Wei Xun’s hand and took a breath: ‘I feel creepy just looking at it’
It’s no wonder that Tong Hege feels creepy, but the maggot cocoon has changed its appearance again, and it does look a bit scary. But back to the business, Tong Hege said it’s okay: ‘My ginseng slices have protected his heart. If it only sucks contaminated rotten meat, then it’s indeed okay. But can it bear it? ’
Wei Xun was also thinking about this question just now. He didn’t think about whether Cheng Tianbao would live or die. They were not relatives or friends, and they were not considered his own people. Wei Xun would never let Tong Hege risk his life just to save Cheng Tianbao in a scene reenactment. If it weren’t for the bamboo shoots and the maggot cocoon saying Xiangxiang, he would probably have directly handed Cheng Tianbao over to Banming to save.
But even though most of the corn shoots and maggots expressed their desire to eat the contamination in Cheng Tianbao's body, Wei Xun still had to consider the safety of the food.
Wei Xun attaches great importance to the maggot's size. Although it has become much more low-key after turning into a cocoon, Wei Xun has always regarded it very seriously. Human skin maggots are closely related to the dusty tomb of the Tusi King. The skin they shed when the maggots shed their skin for the first time has the shape of a human leather glove. Wearing it to protect against sun pollution can even catch the sun's pollution, which shows that it has extraordinary potential.
Moreover, Maggot Da has always been with Wei Xun. Among the four Maggot brothers back then, Maggot Four was infected and became the ghost-haired Xiaohong. Maggot Two and Maggot Three took on a human form in the tomb of King Tusi, but their essence remained unchanged. The only maggot has always been with Wei Xun. It can be said that Wei Xun eats whatever he eats. He has eaten a wider range of things than corn shoots.
When he was in western Hunan, the maggots drank his blood. After returning from northern Tibet, the maggots ate the demonic energy and purified magic honey. When Wei Xun merged with the abyss node, the maggots ate the abyss energy. Later, he won it in the suburbs of Beijing. When the mountain god peach tree was planted, the maggots were so big that they devoured the mountain god pollution and even ate the eyeballs on the mountain god peach tree.
It was this time that the maggots formed a large cocoon, with bloody lines like eyeballs protruding from the cocoon. Then the maggots ate the fresh Puppet Master together, and the cocoon mutated again, growing a circle of hyphae-like, fluorescent, light blue cocoon silk that could move freely. After absorbing some polluted energy here, the maggot's large cocoon had more eye lines. At first glance, it looked like a human face, deformed and ugly. No wonder Tong Hege felt so scared.
But Wei Xun has always been looking forward to the form of the maggot after it breaks out of the cocoon. Will it be the advanced state of the human-skin maggot, or will it mutate into other demonic insects? Could it be considered another form of pest master? But no matter what, after the maggot, which is already a high-level demon insect, advances, it will definitely become a heaven-level demon insect.
A heaven-level demon insect. This can be said to be Wei Xun's first heaven-level demon insect! He was looking forward to it and was very cautious.
The opportunity was rare. After a brief thought, Wei Xun asked Tong Hege for some slices of ginseng and stuffed them into the maggot cocoon. Then Wei Xun opened Cheng Tianbao's most severely ulcerated arm and stuffed the maggot cocoon inside.
The moment he stuffed it in, Wei Xun felt the strong emotions of joy, gratitude and deep anticipation coming from Maggot. He had never been so happy, but at the same time, Maggot was still a little bit uneasy and worried. .
"Don't worry, as long as your transformation is successful, I will like you no matter what you become."
Wei Xun said against his will: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."
When Maggot finally felt at ease, he happily and resolutely swore that his transformation would be successful and that he would fight for his master for the rest of his life. After thinking for a while, he called out the corn shoots again and stuffed Cheng Tianbao into the tentacles of the corn shoots.
It would be bad if the maggots released some demonic insect aura or abyssal power when they broke out of their cocoons, and were noticed by others.
Then Wei Xun simply told An Xuefeng and Ban Ming about the matter. To his surprise, Ban Ming expressed high recognition of his methods.
'In the past, I remember that Brother Cheng had a lot of things in his body. At that time, I just thought that these were monsters tamed by his series of titles, and they were used as means of attack. Now that I think about it, it may also be to suppress his title.'
Cheng Tianbao's title is powerful but evil, and will make him even less human than the alienated butcher and tour guide. Then Ban Ming quietly told Wei Xun that he had just figured it out and felt that something was wrong with Cheng Tianbao's situation. It was like when Cheng Tianbao used his title with all his strength on the battlefield, the inside almost melted into a puddle of mud.
After listening to his words, Wei Xun was thoughtful.
‘Since Captain Chen is still alive after his disappearance, maybe Cheng Tianbao is also alive’
Since that Chen Cheng can affect Chen Cheng in the reenactment, then if Cheng Tianbao is still alive after missing on the battlefield, then maybe he can also affect Cheng Tianbao in the reenactment.
‘How can there be so many good things? Brother Cheng had already...sigh. ’
Half-life is not optimistic. Ten years ago, Brother Cheng's situation was extremely bad on the battlefield, and his title was almost out of control. Half-life even thought that he might have lost his mind when he disappeared in the end, and was contaminated and turned into a monster on the battlefield.
How can it be possible to persist for another ten years and persist until now?
* *
"Captain, is this really useful? Cheng Tianbao's body is about to collapse!"
In the extremely distant darkness, Tang Shuang was running around anxiously. He brought the message to Ji Feihong and rushed back immediately, but the situation was not optimistic. Cheng Tianbao fell into a deep sleep, but he did not calm down his emotions or clear his complicated thoughts before falling asleep. Instead, he fell asleep with anger and distortion after being invaded by the torrent of pollution.
Dreams are the best breeding ground for illusions. At this moment, Cheng Tianbao has completely lost his human form. He has turned into a ball of surging black thick slurry. The exposed blood vessels and veins are wrapped in the thick slurry. The black and red shriveled leaves are like dry leaf veins. No one could tell he was a human being.
The boundary between human beings and monsters is sometimes very close, and complete deformation only takes a moment. When the appearance is completely deformed and looks more like a monster than a monster, how long can the human mind persist?
Tang Shuang still has a human skeleton, and Chen Cheng still has human beliefs and souls, but Cheng Tianbao is in the worst condition. He has lost almost all his characteristics as a human, except that he can still speak human language. But now this pool of jet-black slurry is emitting a low and terrifying echo, like the gurgling sound of bubbles breaking in the deep sea, and like the language of an ancient god, not like a human voice at all.
"Tang Shuang, come quickly."
Chen Cheng said seriously, keeping a close eye on Cheng Tianbao's condition, but did not wake him up. Chen Cheng discovered some subtle changes in him. Although they were very weak and not obvious, changes were good. Tianbao's condition is so bad that he survived this pollution torrent, but it will be difficult for him to survive the next time. Ji Feihong even said, "I think he is already an abyss monster now."
‘Let him kill himself while he still has some sense, so that he can retain some dignity’
What he said didn't sound good, but it was the truth. For Ji Feihong, and for people of their ten years, it is the last dignity to calmly restrain pollution while still having reason, and die as a 'human' under the weapons of his companions.
It collapses and deforms into prey, completely losing all characteristics of a human being, killing its former close friends like crazy, and finally dying as a monster under the weapons of its companions. It will also increase the pollution of its companions before death. This is the most undignified way to die.
Chen Cheng has sent away many companions. If it hadn't been for this dream, Cheng Tianbao might have been killed peacefully by him in the end. He was also very tired and wanted to rest, but Chen Cheng was unwilling to do so.
"Forgive me for my last willfulness."
Chen Cheng solemnly said: "Tang Shuang, Tianbao, let's fight together again."
Maybe it's the last time.
The skeleton seemed to be touched. He opened his mouth, and finally the bone fragments rubbed together, making a hoarse and ugly laugh: "Captain, we will do whatever you say."
"Cheng Tianbao really stinks."
It said it was smelly, but Tang Shuang walked into the black mud and let it wrap around him. Even though the mud, which was almost out of control and crazy, was not as calm as before and began to erode his bones, the severe pain did not let him say a word, but let the mud flow all over his body. Chen Cheng returned to the Hanshan Sword, and Tang Shuang picked up the sword and embedded it in his sternum. Then it was completely engulfed by the mud.
Chen Cheng is their soul, Tang Shuang is their bones, and Cheng Tianbao is the festering blood and flesh. The three of them together are the devastated people.
This is how they survived the battlefield, and this is how they survived for ten years, stumbling to where they are now, but after this fusion, Chen Cheng understood that Cheng Tianbao really couldn't hold on anymore.
Like a person who has been sentenced to death, the huge stone in his heart has fallen to the ground. Tang Shuang was silent, and Chen Cheng didn't speak either. He even felt surprisingly calm and even wanted to smile.
Somehow, Chen Cheng thought of Xiaocui and the feeling of that glance. People in their metaphysics always believe in fate at first sight. Just like when Chen Cheng saw Cen Qin for the first time, he knew that this young man would belong to their metaphysics and that he could lead metaphysics to higher places. .
When he saw Xiaocui, he felt that he had to get this young man! I haven't felt that urgent, excited, and excited mood for a long time. If Xiaocui is a tour guide, then he must be invited to become the resident tour guide of metaphysics. If he is a tourist, then he must be allowed to become a tourist of metaphysics.
If he is captured first by another brat, then you should have a good relationship with him. Cen Qin drew a hundred lucky charms, but they couldn't match the good luck of having a good relationship with Xiao Cui. That is great luck, it can bring about change and vitality.
Maybe there is real life. Even if Cheng Tianbao's grunts are full of pollution, violent and twisted, Chen Cheng feels like he can understand them.
"If it's broken, captain, do you think I'm going to die too?"
At this moment, Chen Cheng heard Tang Shuang mutter in a low voice: "It's weird, why do I think I can understand what Cheng Tianbao is saying."
Being able to understand the language of monsters is indeed a sign that they have been seriously polluted and are about to collapse, and are about to become their own kind, but Chen Cheng suddenly froze! Not an illusion, not a depravity compounded by pollution.
It was Cheng Tianbao who actually uttered one or two words in between the strange sounds of Guru, which were human words! Chen Cheng held his breath and concentrated, and Tang Shuang stopped talking. They listened attentively, hearing Cheng Tianbao's intermittently mixed words mixed with the monster's language, and said vaguely:
"Gulu...Gulu...An...Okay..."
"Gululu...I...go back..."
Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back.
After listening for an unknown amount of time, Chen Cheng finally composed Cheng Tianbao's vague and intermittent words into a complete sentence, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back." This is what Cheng Tianbao was saying! After repeating it several times, Cheng Tianbao never said a word again, and had no reaction at all to them.
"Tianbao...are these his last words?"
Tang Shuang said sadly, but Chen Cheng immediately denied it.
"no!"
No, it's not Cheng Tianbao's last words! This sentence didn't sound like what he said to them. Chen Cheng chewed this sentence over and over again in his heart, and finally noticed something strange.
This is more like what someone said to Cheng Tianbao! And Cheng Tianbao is just plural!
Who said that to him? Dream, Cheng Tianbao is dreaming now, could it be said that——
"Hey Captain, is there something wrong with Cheng Tianbao's left arm? Why don't I feel the pain anymore? It seems like the pollution there has reduced?"
Tang Shuang finally realized something was wrong. As the 'skeleton' among them, he had a keener sense: "How do I feel that something is drilling inside our bodies?"
* *
Wei Xun didn't expect that Cheng Tianbao would release so much pollution energy in an instant! He was right to put Cheng Tianbao into the mouth of the fake corn shoots in advance. Even Tong Hege miscalculated. His piece of ginseng did not last for a quarter of an hour, not even ten minutes. In just three minutes, it It turned into a ball of polluted rotten mud! Cheng Tianbao's condition is also deteriorating rapidly.
But before Wei Xun called An Xuefeng and Banming over, the situation changed again. The maggot cocoon began to absorb the polluted energy violently, and the vigor of swallowing was so strong that even the corn shoots were amazed. The corn shoot reported to Wei Xun the situation in its fake mouth, saying that the man was entangled by a bunch of wires.
‘The painful energy is gone! ’
The corn shoot said with lingering fear. It had a big mouth and was ready to lick it secretly, but it didn’t expect to be ‘blown’ by the violent polluted energy. It started to cry in pain, and secretly sucked the energy while crying.
It has never tasted this before! Although it hurts, maybe it won’t hurt if it eats it again!
Wei Xun frowned. He heard Yumi's description that the maggot's cocoon silk stretched out and wrapped Cheng Tianbao into a cocoon. Its cocoon silk penetrated every rotten flesh of Cheng Tianbao's body and absorbed the energy in it crazily. At the same time, the maggot also discharged some complicated energy, like a purification, removing the dross and retaining the essence.
When it almost finished eating the rotten flesh of Cheng Tianbao's left arm, the maggot seemed to have finally eaten enough. Its cocoon began to move towards Cheng Tianbao's chest and finally stopped at his chest. At this time, Wei Xun had called An Xuefeng and Banming over, and they drilled into Yumi's fake mouth to observe closely.
'Cheng Tianbao's condition is getting better'
An Xuefeng first confirmed Cheng Tianbao's current condition. As Tong Hege had expected before, Cheng Tianbao's entire left arm rotten flesh had been eaten, and the energy of other rotten parts of his body had been completely absorbed by the cocoon.
But somehow, it seemed that there was still a constant flow of rotten energy transmitted, so Cheng Tianbao's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse.
An Xuefeng sensed it a little and thought that the corrupt energy was not an uncontrolled infusion, but a controlled and intentional dumping. The person connected on the other side should have been awake and no longer worried about his life. He directly took the half-life ancient oasis token and spit out a phoenix fire to wrap the token. After a while, the corrupt energy stopped transmitting.
As early as when Chen Cheng controlled the half-life Taoist sword to attack Wei Xun, An Xuefeng had thought about how to control the people in the scene replay. Even though the old metaphysical people were his respected predecessors, An Xuefeng did not drop his vigilance. What if they were seriously polluted and out of control after they disappeared on the battlefield?
In order to establish a connection with the other side, the half-life Taoist, the characters in the scene replay, Wei Xun's ancient oasis butterfly fragments, and the ancient oasis token are indispensable. The simplest thing is that An Xuefeng directly isolated the token, and naturally he could forcibly cut off the connection over there.
Once the connection was broken, Cheng Tianbao's condition suddenly improved visibly, and his eyelids even trembled, as if he was about to open his eyes at any time.
However, the maggot has not yet broken out of its cocoon.
‘It can’t break out of its cocoon’
Wei Xun whispered to An Xuefeng. He felt that the maggot had accumulated energy and was ready to break out of its cocoon, but somehow it stopped, as if it had encountered some kind of obstacle.
‘The cocoon has not broken’
An Xuefeng used the title of Great Druid to feel it carefully.
‘It’s too thick’
A normal maggot can break out of its cocoon, but it has a layer of ‘human cocoon’ made of Cheng Tianbao on the outside. Wei Xun understood, he pulled out the Madman’s Knife, pressed Cheng Tianbao’s chest, and cut a gap above the position of the maggot’s cocoon.
The dark blue cocoon silks immediately poured out, like blooming anemones. But the cocoon silks soon turned into dots of gorgeous blue light and condensed in the center. The Half-Life Taoist and An Xuefeng held their breath and concentrated, even they had few chances to see the Heavenly Grade Demon Worm break out of its cocoon. Wei Xun inserted his hand into Cheng Tianbao’s chest and carefully held out something.
"Maria butterfly??"
Suddenly, the Half-Life Taoist growled in shock, but he refuted the words the moment they came out.
"No, the color is wrong!"
It's no wonder that the Half-Life Taoist misjudged it. The butterfly in Wei Xun's hand looks almost exactly like the butterfly drawn on the hotel APP! The blue-purple glitter on the wings is as gorgeous as the stars, and the tail is long and elegant. The only difference is that the Maria butterfly has black wing edges and the lines on the wings are also black.
But the wing edges and lines on the wings of this butterfly are as pure white as snow, and the whole butterfly looks like it is glowing.
"It looks like you."
Tong Hege couldn't help but say.
The snow-white wing edges are like snow-colored hair, the blue and purple wings are like eyes, and the white lines are like pale skin. This butterfly looks a lot like Wei Xun!
