Chapter 292
Qian Huaer tried to comfort her: "Don't be afraid. Without orders, they will only eat the poison and poison in my body. Only when I die will they look for someone else."
The king of Gu does not eat flesh and blood, but only eats poison and Gu.
This is very similar to the living amber on Shen Jiao's neck.
But the difference is that the eggs of the King Gu are very delicious to the poisonous Gu insects.
In order to get a bite of insect eggs, they will attack the "container" containing the insect eggs frantically. They will not stop until all the insect eggs are eaten up, but will also devour the container completely.
It seems very dangerous, but the eggs of the King Gu rely on the venom of poisonous insects to hatch, and the larvae must eat the Gu insects to survive. When the larvae become adults, they will become the natural enemies of the poisonous insects and can restrain and control them.
Shen Jiao's living amber has no attraction to poisonous insects and poisonous insects, and it cannot control anything. If the host has poison or poison, it will come out to eat some, if not, it will hibernate.
It doesn't have to parasitize in the human body.
It is incredibly kind and friendly, but the only drawback is that it doesn't reproduce very often, so it's priceless and a rare treasure.
That’s why Shen Jiao’s senior brother was so jealous of her when he saw that she had this thing.
These were unimportant. Shen Jiao felt a little relieved, but then she said nervously, "Will those poisonous insects and poisonous insects get in?"
"No, I already have an adult, they dare not."
Qian Huaer also asked her,
"Do you want to see it?"
"No." Shen Jiao declined.
Qian Huaer nodded: "That's fine. If I can't control it and it makes a nest on you, that would be bad."
"Making a nest?"
"Well," Qian Huaer said, "once they become adults they can lay eggs, and they need a bigger place."
Yes, it’s so crowded when a bunch of people live together.
Qian Huaer also said: "Once the eggs are laid, the adult insects will die."
This cycle repeats itself over and over again. It is both a way of reproduction and a way of expanding territory.
Logically speaking, this thing grows very fast and reproduces quickly, so there should be a lot of it.
But the bad luck is that if no one controls them, they have no brains and only know how to reproduce without taking precautions. Even if the people they target do not die when they lay eggs, they will be killed by poisonous insects and poisonous insects that come along after smelling the scent.
Insect eggs have no ability to protect themselves, so they will be eaten up easily.
I don’t know where Bai Shan and the others found this thing. If it is released just to kill people, it will indeed be a good killing weapon.
An unexpected attack can kill many people. It is unknown how long it will take for everyone to react and find a way to restrain themselves.
If Qi Yuanli acts quickly enough, he can really take over a large territory in one fell swoop.
Shen Jiao recalled what Bai Shan had said: "This King Gu's effects should be more than just these, right? I heard it can also grant people extraordinary powers."
"Well, I don't feel anything," Qian Huaer scratched her face and said, "Oh, right, I don't know if this counts, but I don't feel any pain at all, and the wound healed very quickly."
Her hands were covered in blood from that grabbing. The worms on her face were madly drilling into her flesh like a group of frightened fish in a pond.
That scene made people's scalps tingle.
But if you look carefully and patiently, you can see that her flesh is also growing rapidly, and soon smooth skin grows back on her face.
Qian Huaer said, "Sister Qingbian said that I am a very good vessel and will have great fortune in the future. My family will all enjoy wealth and glory because of me."
Shen Jiao didn't know what she meant by this, so she just said, "That sounds like... a good thing."
"Do you think this is a good thing?" she said. "My grandfather and my uncle both died. Right in front of me, larvae crawled out and crawled onto my father and me. I saw their heads being chopped off and heard them say they would send their heads to my house."
"I heard that your grandmother died of anger like this."
"You know, and you still say this is a good thing?"
She seemed to have heard the most absurd words in the world, her expression twisted, and something was surging under her skin.
Shen Jiao: "Is what I said important?"
"I don't even know you."
"I don't want to comfort you."
"I just want to find a place to rest."
"Your experience is sympathetic, but I feel even more sympathetic towards myself. You're still alive and can look forward to being reunited with your family, but what about me? I'm an orphan, and perhaps the next day will be the day I die."
"Everyone in this world has their own suffering. No one can save or help anyone else. Under the trend of the times, you and I are all ants. Nothing will change just because you're angry."
"Or do you think my casual agreement and hypocritical comfort are of any use? Can I bring your grandparents and uncle back to life just by lip-syncing? Don't be silly, look here. For you right now, comfort is the most useless thing. What you need to do now is to work harder and control that feeling."
"Have you ever heard a saying?"
"The dead are gone, and the living are like this. The dead are dead, and the living have to live. If you are useless, you can't even protect the rest of your family."
"Instead of getting angry at me, think about the future."
"The war is coming, can you protect them?"
"Unless you're ready to risk everything and die with your entire family, then just accept it. Wealth and glory... are certainly good things, but don't be foolish and do things you don't want to do. In the end, you don't get any wealth and glory, but are left with only glory and resentment. That's the real bad thing."
Shen Jiao ignored all reactions, pulled the table aside, pulled the screen in front of the bathtub over to stand between the two of them, then lay down on the table and prepared to sleep.
Qian Huaer's voice came from behind the screen. She sneered and said, "I thought... you were a good person."
That's because she didn't know that Shen Jiao had robbed their family of money.
"Good people don't live long, and I just love being a nuisance," Shen Jiao sneered. "Why, do you think you can still be a good person when you're like this? Did those people capture you to make you a bodhisattva? You're amazing! You're dreaming before you even fall asleep."
Qian Huaer stopped talking.
She probably just loves to scare people. Shen Jiao was almost asleep when she suddenly said, "As long as we destroy Wang Gu, we can go home and there won't be any more wars."
Shen Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to her: "Go ahead, no need to tell me, I don't like to die."
A dreamless night...
Maybe it was just one night. In a place like this, it’s hard to tell right from wrong.
Anyway, Shen Jiao will have food to eat as long as she gets enough sleep.
Two steamed buns and a large piece of raw meat.
"Can't you give me some pickles?" Shen Jiao said to Qingbian, "I'm not that wild about eating."
The meat was still throbbing, it looked so fresh, it was like chasing an animal to eat it, she could hardly bring herself to eat it...
