Chapter 542 Star Nematode Invasion
"Does it hurt?" Ye Qianlu asked.
Chu Yuhao pinched the small meat ball on his left arm with his hands, and the small meat ball was deformed.
He shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, and it doesn't itch
either." "Just cut it and avoid future troubles." Bill suggested.
Chu Yuhao hesitated for a moment and nodded, asking Ye Qianlu to help him cut off the little meat ball.
Ye Qianlu raised the knife and cut off the small meat ball neatly.
"It's strange. After the small meat balls were cut off, the joints were so smooth, as if the fish scales and moles fell off automatically." Ye Qianlu said in surprise.
Chu Yuhao touched his arm and found nothing unusual. He shook his head and said, "As long as everything is fine." "To be on the
safe side, it's better to apply some ointment or something like that, whether it helps or not," Ye Qianlu said.
"Okay."
Chu Yuhao then applied some ointment similar to a skin disease on his arm and stopped paying attention to it.
But besides Chu Yuhao, others also had similar symptoms.
A small fleshy ball appeared on Shijie's nose, and there was also one on Denjing's arm.
They appear for no apparent reason and are not painful or itchy.
You can't see the growth process. When you notice it, it has grown into a flesh ball.
Some people in Haotianzun's team and Huntian Monkey King's team also had similar symptoms.
Their treatment method was also to use daggers to cut off the meat balls. Some people applied some medicine, while others applied nothing.
"Tianzun, can you see what is close to human skin?" Li Ran asked.
Hao Tianzun half-squinted and stroked his beard and said, "I don't know, but they can't even get close to me."
Li Ran noticed that there was a faint layer of mysterious light around Hao Tianzun's body, which could protect himself and resist the invasion of small objects.
"If both perception and vision fail, I suspect that it is caused by bacteria. There are viruses that we cannot see in this hell of flesh and blood, invading our bodies." Li Ran said.
"You are the Heart of Chaos. If you don't even know it, then we are even less likely to know it." Great Sage Huntian sat on the somersault cloud, put the stick across his shoulder, and said to Li Ran with an evil smile. .
"He seems to be CPUing you." Zhao Yingzhi reminded.
"It doesn't matter." Li Ran nodded.
It's like some mental brainwashing.
"You are learning this. You don't even know this. Do you expect us?"
"Other people's boyfriends and girlfriends don't need to learn anything and they know how to do it. How come you don't know anything? You are so disappointing. ”
This kind of invisible attack on people’s self-confidence makes people feel guilty, but some people on Blue Star are extremely proficient in using it and have reached the pinnacle of it. They even have special training classes and courses.
The Great Sage Huntian has not even learned the basics of this, he is far from it.
Li Ran didn't take it to heart at all.
What does the life and death of others have to do with him?
"Chu Yuhao, why did your hands grow again?"
Ye Qianlu from behind said with a look of astonishment.
Chu Yuhao frowned and looked at his left arm.
It was discovered that a small flesh ball the size of a thumb had grown on his left arm, which was several times larger than the previous one.
Seeing this, Chu Yuhao took out the dagger and was about to cut it off, but was stopped by Li Ran.
"Wait, let me take a look." Li Ran hurriedly came to the back.
To figure out what this is, we must do research and experiments, and dissect it to know where the real core is.
He took out a scalpel from the storage space and put on gloves and a multi-functional mask.
"Brother, do you want to cut it open?" Chu Yuhao said with a livid face.
This feeling is not pleasant, it feels like a scalpel is cutting open your own skin.
"Be patient." Li Ran said.
Chu Yuhao had no choice. If he wanted a radical cure, he had to accept it.
The sharp scalpel easily cut open the thumb-sized flesh ball. At the moment of the incision, a blood-red nematode emerged from the wound of the flesh ball.
This scene horrified everyone.
There are nematodes in the meat ball!
Nematodes attach to human skin.
Li Ran quickly took out an empty bowl, added a little water, and then used tweezers to pick out the blood-colored nematodes.
"There seems to be more than one." Ye Qianlu said.
When Chu Yuhao heard this, he wanted to die, and he asked in a panic: "Isn't it possible that I have these things in my body?" "
Then I don't know. We have to do an autopsy to find out." Li Ran said.
"Then... forget it then." Chu Yuhao was instantly afraid.
Li Ran picked out two blood-colored nematodes from the incised thumb-sized meat ball. The nematodes were as slender as hair and more than thirty centimeters in length. They could completely curl up in a small space.
"This creature is very similar to iron worms, but it is more slender than iron worms. It grows out of human skin for unknown reasons. If left unchecked, it is indeed possible to burrow under human skin."
"The most obvious characteristic of this type of nematode is parasitic reproduction. They can lay eggs on the skin or in human blood..." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Chu Yuhao's whole face turned dark when he heard this. He now felt that his body was full of this kind of thing.
Li Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the three bloody worms in the bowl.
(Star worms: evolved from parasitic star fungi that parasitize in the bodies of living things and grow.)
(Parasite star fungi are as tiny as viruses and cannot be seen with the naked eye or normal vision. They are everywhere in the bloody hell, just like the air. )
(They will enter the body of a living thing through contact with breathing and skin, and multiply and spread rapidly, parasitizing the human body. When flesh balls grow on the skin of a living creature, it means that the body of the living creature has been completely infected. They are parasitic star bacteria. They will quickly evolve into star worms and emerge from the body of the creature.) (
Tip: This parasitic star fungus cannot survive in other places. Please leave the flesh and blood hell as soon as possible.)
When you see this series of prompts After that, Li Ran's expression changed slightly.
Chu Yuhao saw the abnormality in Li Ran's expression and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Then, he told Chu Yuhao the content of the prompt he saw.
Everyone around also heard it.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Especially those realm masters who have meat balls growing on their bodies.
Those Realm Lords who did not have any symptoms kept away from the Realm Lord with fleshy balls on their bodies, their eyes seemed to be looking at the source of infection.
Li Ran glanced at the people in his quick eyes.
"The air of the Flesh Hell is full of parasitic bacteria. The longer we stay here, the greater the probability of being parasitized. The best way is to find the entrance to the next hell as soon as possible, otherwise, everyone will die in it This." Li Ran said.
"But how to prevent it? We all wear masks and release body shields. Why are we still being parasitized?" Dian Jing asked speechlessly.
Li Ran felt his body and Su Bingyao's body at the same time.
Then he went to sense the bodies of Chu Yuhao and other parasitized world masters.
Finally came up with an answer.
"Elemental shields are useful, but ordinary defensive shields are useless."
"For example, body-protecting flame shield, ice shield, thunder shield, or Tiangang Qi, which is similar to the kind of skill that surrounds the body with a small area. This type of skill can be effective To resist the parasitism of parasitic bacteria." Li Ran said.
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly checked their skill defense shields.
There are elemental shields, and those with Tiangang Qi are immediately released to defend against the invasion of parasitic star bacteria.
But many people looked desperate, without elemental shields or Tiangang Qi.
Some people have used part of the elemental shield skills in previous levels, and the skills are in the cooldown period.
"Everyone, please spread out and find an exit." Li Ran said.
"It's not good to spread out, isn't it?" Great Sage Huntian said.
"If they all gather together, people will be panicked, and the chance of finding an exit is very small. How long can your elemental shield and Tiangang Qi last? One hour or two hours? Once the defensive shield is lost, sooner or later, Infected by the parasitic star bacteria."
"But it is better to take advantage of the limited time and spread out to find the entrance to the next level of hell." "As
long as you leave the flesh and blood hell, the parasitic star bacteria will die, and the parasitic and non-parasitic people will survive. "
Li Ran's words made everyone ready to take action, especially those who were already infected.
"Then quickly separate and look for the exit. What are you waiting for!" Chu Yuhao said anxiously.
The trio of Dian Jing, Zhai Fei, and Shi Jie also expressed their eagerness to find an exit.
"Infected people have nothing to fear. Anyway, there are already parasitic star bacteria in their bodies, but they have to race against time to find the entrance to the next level of hell before all the star worms in the body escape." "Currently, this flesh and blood
hell There should be no other dangerous creatures inside. Those who are not infected should continue to protect themselves, and those who are infected should work harder to find the exit as soon as possible, so that you can survive." Li Ran's words made hundreds of world masters restless
. stand up.
After passing through the underground greed kingdom and the hell passage, there are only about 230 people alive now.
Now, 70 to 80 people, accounting for one-third, have symptoms.
As time goes by, if the skill is in a cooling state, many people will be parasitized.
However, Li Ran has Yun Nian Bing Chen, so he has no worries in this regard. Yun Nian Bing Chen surrounds his body. It is as microscopic as bacteria and has an extremely cold temperature. It spreads on his body surface, similar to Attached is a thin layer of ice shield, invisible to the naked eye.
The parasitic star bacteria came close to Li Ran's skin, but before it got close, it was frozen into ice dust by Yun Nian's ice dust.
Su Bingyao also has a similar ice mist effect, with a larger range, but it is a continuous skill, not a passive one that always exists on the body like Li Ran.
Haotianzun and the Great Sage Huntian naturally have similar permanent passive Tiangang Qi, and the parasitic star bacteria can't even get close to them.
Soaring Snake, Mora, Romon, and Kuna seem to have similar passive skills, and none of them currently have any symptoms.
But other realm owners are in dire straits.
If the skill cools down, it will be parasitized without other skills to replace it.
"Did you hear what the Heart of Chaos said? Separate us. What are you doing in a daze? Do you all want to die?" Great Sage Huntian cursed the world leader of his team.
When the demon clan masters heard this, they all scattered to look for the entrance to the next level of hell.
Haotianzun's team and Li Ran's team then dispersed, forming teams of two or more people to search this bloody hell carpet.
And Li Ran's eyes noticed that on the ground made of flesh and blood below, there were patches of bloody spore forests. There were various hideous and disgusting blood trees in the forest. The blood trees that grew out produced dense blood fruits, which made people's scalp numb. , trypophobia is about to occur.
Destroy the spore forest?
The hell of flesh and blood is full of them, has it been completely destroyed?
Parasitic bacteria are existences that cannot be detected by the naked eye or perception.
If it weren't for Li Ran's reminder, everyone might not know what happened, and they might even die without understanding how they died.
However, Li Ran had a doubt in his mind.
"Here you come, are you going to give up everything?"
What does this rule mean in Hell of Flesh?
What to give up?
What do they need to give up?
When he came here before, he had already confirmed with his golden finger that that rule corresponded to the Hell of Flesh and Blood.
But at present, even if there is a cheat, it is impossible to know what the rules specifically refer to.
It's like a very vague concept, and Golden Finger can't find the precise content of the concept.
Everyone dispersed, and Li Ran and Su Bingyao naturally continued flying forward.
But there are still many realm masters behind him.
Among them were Haotian Zun and Huntian Great Sage.
They sent out all their subordinates, but they themselves followed the Heart of Chaos.
Follow him from a distance without disturbing him.
"There is a creature similar to the star worm on Vega. It has the ability to parasitize in the body of living things. It will lay eggs in the water. When it parasitizes in the body of living creatures, it will quickly lay eggs. The more parasites it has, the thirstier the living creatures will feel and finally reproduce. After the number reaches its peak, a hormone will be released to control the brain of the creature, causing the creature to jump into the water and drown. Then, countless nematodes will emerge from the seven orifices of the creature's corpse and float in the water. Lay eggs and then look for the next parasite." Su Bingyao said with a pale face.
When Li Ran heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "I have seen what you are talking about in a movie called "Invasion of Ironworms"." "Ah?"
Su Bingyao opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment: "You guys Are there such creatures on the planet?"
"On my planet, there is everything. As long as we dare to think about it, humans can make it. Iron worms are nothing. We also have more powerful viruses that spread through the air. In those three years , all humans around the world can only stay at home."
"Is it so scary?"
"You see this hell is empty, but in fact the devils are all in the human world." Li Ran said.
The ability of the star worm is to parasitize and reproduce, these two basic survival abilities, simple and pure in mind.
But people are much more complicated. Even if you are a brother who grew up together, you may not know what he is thinking.
Behind the line.
Huang Que is in the back team, and the three of them are worried.
Concubine Kagura had a fleshy ball as big as a quail egg on her wrist. The protrusion was at the wrist, and it looked a bit like a ganglion cyst.
But she knew that it was not a ganglion cyst, but a parasitic star bacterium that hatched in her body.
She listened to what Li Ran just said.
In other words, there are already countless star worms in her body, and they will leave the body of the creature by breaking through the body.
The growth of small fleshy balls on the skin is actually the most obvious symptom.
She didn't want others to see the meat ball in her hand, so she immediately took out a long gown from the storage space and put it on her body. The long sleeves just covered her wrists.
Yamazaki and Ninryu were even more serious.
A fleshy ball as big as a fist appeared on Yamazaki's calf.
That can no longer be called a flesh ball, but a sarcoma.
What's even more frightening is that there is something crawling in the sarcoma.
Yamazaki had already cut it once with a dagger before, and it didn't take long for it to grow again, and it was even bigger than before.
If the fist-sized sarcoma were cut off, a bunch of star worms would probably fall out.
Yamazaki planned to cut it off with a dagger, but Ninryu stopped him: "Don't do that, Yamazaki, it will only accelerate its growth." Ninryu
also had a meat ball as big as a ping pong ball on his neck. He used a scarf to Blocking it, he happened to be dressed as a ninja and didn't look unusual.
"No, I'll just dig a bloody hole in my calf and let all these things come out." Yamazaki cursed.
"Are you looking for death?" Princess Kagura glared at him and said, "Open wounds will only allow more parasitic bacteria to penetrate into your body. In that case, you will die faster."
Yamazaki Upon hearing this, he became angry, looked at the raised sarcoma on his ankle and cursed: "Can we just wait to die?"
Just after he finished speaking, a demon clan leader not far away, from the appearance It looked like a wolf demon. At this time, a sarcoma the size of a basketball had grown on the wolf demon's back. It pressed against his neck. It looked like a huge sarcoma had grown on the back of his neck. It was extremely scary. fear.
The wolf demon was extremely angry and kept stretching out its claws to scratch the tumors on its back.
"Hiss!"
The moment his claws touched the huge sarcoma, it was like a balloon bursting. A ball of black water flowed down from the sarcoma, flowing along his clothes and onto the bloody ground.
The wolf demon breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved.
Huang was behind the trio and looked at the black liquid on the ground. Where was the pus? It was clearly a pool of liquid composed of countless star worms, each of which was more than thirty centimeters in length and was like a ball of wool. Together, squirming...
This scene made several people feel numb.
Just when the wolf demon thought he would feel better, another ball of flesh suddenly bulged on his back.
Visible to the naked eye, it looks like a layer of skin on the back has been inflated, quickly turning into a huge meat ball. The size of this meat ball instantly exceeds the size of the previous basketball.
And it continued to grow bigger, and the wolf demon instantly felt a hundred kilograms of weight coming from his back, pressing on his back and neck.
After the tumor became huge, it sagged due to the influence of gravity. Finally, the tumor hung on the wolf demon's neck like a sandbag... Seeing
this scene, Huang Que's team of three people behind them all looked bad. .
Yamazaki's hand holding the dagger also trembled.
The more you cut, the faster it grows!
You might be able to live longer if you don't cut it.
Just when they thought the wolf demon was going to stop.
The wolf demon once again stretched out its claws to scratch the sarcoma hanging down from its back like a sandbag.
"Hey, stop scratching, you will die if you continue like this!" Yamazaki shouted as a reminder, and then said: "Didn't you hear what the Heart of Chaos said just now?" "I feel uncomfortable, I feel like there are countless
ants It's crawling around inside my body, I can't stand it anymore!" The wolf demon wailed.
After saying that, he ignored Yamazaki's dissuasion and used his half-grip wolf claws to tear the huge meat ball on his neck.
"Pfft!!" A sound came out.
Huang Que was stunned on the spot by the last three people. They saw a scene that they would never forget and that made them sick to their stomachs.
Things are over for the time being, and we will resume daily updates.
It should get busier after a while, and the update plan will be adjusted at any time.
This book will be completed smoothly, and you can read it with confidence.
Thanks to those of you who can read this far.
