Chapter 221 Chapter 220 Emerges from the Cocoon
"Ah, it crawled in. It hurts. Ah."
No one had time to react to what happened next, because the insects seemed to have received a call and all rushed towards the injured person. In an instant, the person was covered and gnawed by the insects.
The screams filled the entire mountain.
To everyone's astonishment, the man was completely eaten in less than a minute.
All that was left, apart from the clothes it was wearing, was a pile of bones.
The moment the pile of bones fell on the ice, everyone realized that after the man was eaten, not even a drop of blood was left on the ice.
This is not a cockroach, it is clearly a man-eating insect.
…
Encountering this situation, even the four of them who relied on the spiritual spring water did not dare to be careless.
After all, it only took one minute from the time they were bitten to the time only bones were left. No matter how effective the spiritual spring water was, it couldn't grow back the flesh that was bitten off.
Although he was afraid, he would only be bitten if he didn't take action. Lao Gao plucked up his courage and used his special ability to burn the things in front of him while walking forward carefully.
The fire ability is definitely useful against bugs, but the bugs are too small and there are too many of them. He can't burn them all by himself. The only ones he can protect are them.
At this moment, when everyone was anxious, screams one after another resounded throughout the mountains again.
Lan Jin was getting anxious. If they didn't find a solution, they would all be killed by the insects. Lan Jin said, "Ling Jiang, see if you can freeze them."
Ice alone is not enough. After all, the temperature is already dozens of degrees below zero, and these insects can still walk on the ice, so low temperature alone is not enough.
Lan Jin said again: "Xiao Huang, water, add some ingredients to Ling Jiang."
After saying that, Huang Jinghe immediately used his water-based ability, and a large amount of water accumulated on the ice surface in an instant. Ling Jiang also touched his hand on the ice surface and used his ice-based ability.
Soon, the water Huang Jinghe had just created formed a thin layer of ice, but the tiny insects were frozen so tightly by this thin layer of ice that they could not be frozen any further.
The disaster is over for now.
…
Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief for escaping death, Ling Jiang suddenly fell onto the ice.
Lan Jin immediately ran towards Ling Jiang and found that it was just overusing its supernatural powers and its body was too weak, so she felt relieved.
She took out the ice crystal from Ling Jiang's purse and placed it in her hand. Lao Gao came over a step late and let Ling Jiang lean on him to absorb the energy of the crystal.
In a short time, the energy was absorbed and Ling Jiang recovered a lot. After drinking the spiritual spring water, he recovered immediately.
But at this moment, Ling Jiang realized that her ability had not been upgraded because of the battle just now, which means that Lan Jin's power upgrade might not be due to the battle. Of course, it might also be due to this.
Until we find a clear explanation, everything is uncertain.
…
Seeing Ling Jiang recover, Brother Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it better now?"
Ling Jiang replied: "It's better now. Luckily I prepared the crystals before coming out, otherwise..."
Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
But they recovered, but the people that Brother Zhang brought out were...
Looking at the clothes of the four brothers on the ice, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
However, the reality is that they don't have much time to be sad. The man-eating cockroach was frozen, but the insect that was electrocuted by Lan Jin started to shake again.
Lan Jin listened to the noise and said speechlessly, "No, I really can't do this thing. Besides, their life is infinite, right? Aren't they dead? Why is it still alive? It's still moving. It can actually still move."
Lan Jin started to speak incoherently when she was scared. Huang Jinghe comforted her, "Sister Lan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's see what's going on first."
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, just burn it to ashes."
Lan Jin didn't want to look at them for even a moment, fearing that these things would launch a crazy attack at any moment. Looking at these insects, Lan Jin was so scared that he didn't know how to attack.
But burn to ashes?
She hadn't even taken a step yet, but the insects on the ground were shaking even more violently than before.
No one would go forward in this situation. It's scary just looking at it from a distance.
Then, a long and thin crack suddenly appeared on the back of the insect. The crack was very thin, as if something was trying to squeeze out from the crack. This was because the lighting in the place where they camped was very good, otherwise who could see such a thin crack in the middle of the night.
Lao Gao suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Butterfly, doesn't it come out of an insect? There's a saying, 'a butterfly emerges from a cocoon.'"
"No matter what it is, I feel sick just thinking about it being a bug." Lan Jin said after subconsciously taking a few steps back.
Just as the insect struggled even more, Brother Zhang said seriously, "Everyone, be on guard."
In an instant, everyone raised their guns and became alert.
After the insect struggled for a while, something really struggled out from its back. After it flapped its wings a few times and fluttered in the air, it was confirmed that it was indeed a butterfly, and it was not small, about the length of an arm, just like the insect.
This butterfly was snow-white all over, with transparent wings. It was extremely beautiful, but on its transparent wings were patterns similar to eyes that only insects had. Seeing it really reminded Lan Jin of an insect, and the insect's corpse was not far away. Lan Jin's legs suddenly became weak and he couldn't stand up.
Huang Jinghe really didn't expect Lan Jin to be so scared, so he quickly helped her up and said, "Sister Lan, how are you? Is the butterfly okay?"
"That's not good at all. It's clearly even scarier. This butterfly is definitely not something simple." After saying that, Lan Jin whispered to Brother Zhang beside him, "Brother Zhang, have you seen this thing before? Is it dangerous?"
Brother Zhang frowned and said, "No, if possible, I would like to catch a few and take them back for research."
"How do we catch it? It can fly, and we don't know what danger it might pose. Who would dare to catch it like this?" Lao Gao glanced at the butterfly flying in the air and was really troubled about how to catch it, but this shouldn't be mandatory, so he thought that he just had to try his best, and it wouldn't be their fault if he didn't catch it.
At this moment, these seemingly harmless butterflies slowly flew towards this group of humans.
This distance is neither close nor far.
After the butterflies fluttered around for a while and made sure that the humans were not driving them away, they flew closer and closer to them.
