Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 96 Can parasites also explode special items? (Third update)

The shape of these bugs is similar to that of beetles, with their heads basically having sharp horns, but their colors vary.

Some are completely black, some are latex white, some are colorful, and some are covered in scarlet blood, like squirming fat pieces of meat...

There are also differences in body shape. Some are wider and have steel-covered backs, like scarabs; some are flat and slender, like caterpillars crawling in vegetable leaves; some have multiple limbs, like centipedes...

At that moment, the thick fishy stench hit us from all directions, which was difficult to describe in words.

Even Chen Ye, as the [Devil Cooker], almost vomited when he saw the scene in front of him for the first time and smelled the pungent smell!

There were piles of white bones all around, with a big hole in the back of the head.

It is conceivable that these insects are all parasites crawling out of the brains of these corpses!

At this moment, these densely packed insects piled up like mountains, sucking the essence and blood that provided nutrients from the bodies on the ground.

Chi Chi Chi!

An unusually loud crawling sound suddenly came from the dark cave.

I saw a centipede over five meters long crawling out of the cave.

That centipede has so many legs, but at the bottom of each leg, there is a bloody eyeball!

While crawling, those eyeballs were still looking left and right, rolling up and down.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, and after careful observation, he found that the blood-colored eyeballs on the centipede's legs were very similar in shape to the giant eyes seen on the river.

The halo of luck is condensed with rich blood, and the ink color is even deeper.

When the centipede came here, the surrounding insects suddenly became commotion, and scattered in all directions as if they felt a fatal threat.

The movement of the centipede seemed very slow, but as if in the blink of an eye, it moved from the entrance of the cave to the other end of the underground undercurrent. Its fat body lay on top of several insects, and it actually started a devouring process!

The moment it caught other bugs, the blood-colored eyeballs growing on the feet of the giant centipede began to split, and then turned into the shape of a mouth, swallowing the captured bugs from the entrance!

Click! Click!

The scalp-numbing sound of chewing echoed in the dark cave, blending with the crawling sounds of insects all around.

Soon, the hard skin of the preyed beetle broke open instantly.

The blood-colored eyeball followed the centipede's feet and penetrated deep into the flesh and blood of the prey, sucking the essence and blood.

It crawls and eats with multiple legs at the same time, which is extremely efficient.

After sucking the essence and blood of other insects, the body length of the centipede gradually grows to six meters visible to the naked eye. More legs and blood-colored eyeballs grow out. The body is larger and longer, and the efficiency of growth and evolution is like a handheld computer. Like the greedy snake in it.

As if it had been fully fed, the centipede suddenly stopped.

With streaks of squirming deep ink, it squirms inside the blood-colored eyeballs, as if to give birth to new life!

Poof!

Poof!

A subtle sound came faintly from the centipede's body.

The crystal membrane of the blood-colored eyeball suddenly became transparent, rising and falling, contracting and expanding.

boom!

Suddenly, the blood-colored eyeballs burst open and turned into small blood-colored insects, which fell to the ground in clusters. Then they separated into threads and spread to the surroundings along the dark underground water.

Looking along the direction of the flow, Chen Ye quickly discovered that in this collapsed underground water channel, there was a polluted ink-colored river flowing along the ground to the surrounding sewers, and flowing in the direction of the city.

At the end, there were several fat beetles drilling several large holes with their heads, forming a maze-like passage.

The maze-like caves extend in all directions, connecting various underground waterways in the inner city, and then invading the entire city's water supply system.

The first to be affected was the old city.

Those red bugs fell into the ink undercurrent and suddenly became invisible.

However, observing with Chen Ye's Luck Eye, he could clearly see this ink-colored river, with thin red lines distributed in dots, quickly moving towards the city.

If you guessed it correctly, these red thin lines correspond to the bloody worms hatched from the centipede's body!

Their shape is different from the neuroparasitic eggs inside the beetle, being more secretive, smaller, and more divided.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ye finally knew what the situation was and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Good guy!"

"This old city has secretly cultivated such a huge insect nest!"

"For the time being, these eggs should have given birth to new life through downstream pollution, thus opening up the sewer system in the old city and gradually spreading into the city."

"Those mobile barbecue stalls are probably controlled by the bloody bugs and specialize in creating price-equivalent scams and selling barbecue containing bug eggs."

"If the aborigines of the strange era eat these barbecues, they will be controlled by the insect eggs and go to the old city."

"They were controlled one after another and fell into this underground tunnel, becoming containers for insect eggs and creating conditions for these parasites to grow Gu!"

Chen Ye immediately connected all the memory clues in his mind!

Why are all the residents who have eaten barbecue rushing towards the old city, but these few times they have been here, they have not seen a few people?

It turns out... they all ran into this underground undercurrent and became food for these insects!

The bloody centipede was the insect king that was born from a large number of Gu!

The little blood-colored worms that split off from it have a more advanced form of parasitism.

I'm afraid... the reason why the barbecue stall owner showed a more advanced parasitic form and could even create an equivalent scam was that he was controlled by the bloody bug.

The centipede has obviously reached a more advanced life form, possesses combat intelligence, can devour more efficiently, and can predict danger!

At this moment, there were several blood-colored eyeballs on the centipede's feet, which landed on Chen Ye's body. The pupils kept turning around, faintly shrinking, as if they felt threatened.

For players who generally turn professional...

I'm afraid that at the first sight of a centipede, I'm going to turn around and run away!

The way this thing lives is really disgusting, and its actions are even weirder.

It is enough to evoke the instinctive fear of myriapods.

However, for Chen Ye, the second-level [Devil Cooker], the whole body of the centipede in front of him is a treasure, and every part of the body is a good ingredient!

It can provide the best raw materials to create more appealing and creative deviled dishes.

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth raised slightly, revealing a devilish smile.

"It's interesting. I wonder what this kind of thing would taste like?"

The next second, his delicate face exploded, and the black side teeth turned into sharp blades, slashing through the side of the centipede at extremely fast speeds!

In the blink of an eye...

All the legs of the centipede with bloody eyeballs were cut off!

When the blood-colored eyeball fell to the ground, it had exaggerated elasticity and jumped into the air.

When all the legs of the centipede are cut off...

The blood-colored eyeballs began to jump around the space like marbles, hitting several larvae, and a stream of blood mist suddenly spurted out.

soon.

The fat centipede immediately collapsed to the ground, losing its ability to move and letting itself be slaughtered.

Chen Ye's movements were fluent and quick, and he controlled the ink-colored vines without hesitation, completely wrapping the centipede's entire figure, and there was a chewing sound of "ka-ka-ka"!

It seemed that how the centipede had eaten just now was how it was being devoured now.

Within a few seconds, the giant centipede's body had been separated into several parts.

It is worth mentioning that its brain is also a large half-moon eyeball, but it is about the size of a basketball.

and……

The blood color inside this eyeball, when observed with the Eye of Luck, actually has a faint glazed brilliance lingering in it!

Has a special item been revealed?
