next moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, the little bug finally returned to normal. It flexed its body and moved on the big dog's ankle. After crawling for a few centimeters, it seemed to have carefully selected one of the pores, and then

Then he buried the beak-like head inside.

During this process, its tail was still twisting to help, and in an instant, its body of about 2 centimeters was halfway in.

"Alas, benefactor!"

There is nothing more frightening than watching an unknown insect burrowing into one's body. Seeing this, the big dog shook its legs unconsciously and screamed in the hope that Wu Liang could do something.

Wu Liang was also prepared.

Before the dog could ask for help, he reached out and pinched the tail of the bug, and then pulled it out of the dog's pores with slight force.

After leaving the big dog's body, the little insect immediately began to twist as before.

At this moment, its front half has been dyed red by the blood of the big dog. Although it is small and pitiful, it still gives people a cruel and ferocious feeling.

The pores on the big dog's ankles that had just been drilled by the little bug were already bleeding.

"Phew - it's a good thing my benefactor has quick eyesight and quick hands, otherwise this insect would really get in..."

The big dog then let out a long sigh of relief and said to Wu Liang with a happy face.

However, Wu Liang looked at him with sympathy at this moment, and said helplessly: "Judging from the rejoicing just now, there should have been a lot of such bugs burrowing into your body, so one more is not enough, and one less is not enough."

Quite a few, what is urgently needed to figure out now is what exactly these bugs want to do when they get into your body, and what impact they will have on you in the end."

"..."

The big dog was stunned immediately.

Although Wu Liang didn't make it too clear, even a fool knew that it was definitely not a good thing for such a cruel and bloodthirsty bug to get into his body, and it would definitely kill him in the end.

So the next moment, the big dog was about to cry, and he quickly begged Wu Liang: "Please save the little man, as long as the benefactor saves the little man this time, the little man will be willing to work as an ox or a horse for the benefactor."

, there is absolutely no second intention!”

"Don't worry, I will do my best if I can."

Wu Liang did not speak too fully.

However, he will not give up the big dog easily. Although this person is not related to him, as a victim of this bug, he is currently the only clinical observation object, which can help him understand this bug from more angles.

A weird thing.

This also belongs to the category of archeology and exploration.

More importantly, there are more floating corpses away from the place where Wu Liang and the Hu army are about to go. I am afraid that they will inevitably have to deal with this kind of thing. If they can understand this kind of thing in advance, they can avoid it as much as possible.

The Hu army suffered similar casualties.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor..."

The big dog thanked him profusely.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "By the way, regarding the 'water monkey', do you have the saying that 'although the water monkey is very powerful in the water, it becomes limp and powerless once out of the water'"

Such rumors?”

"Indeed there is."

This question was a little jumpy. Da Quan didn't know why Wu Liang suddenly asked this question, but he still nodded and said: "There seems to be similar rumors, but to be honest with my benefactor, even though the villain was very young, he often

I heard the older generation talk about water monkeys, and my parents used this as an excuse to forbid the little man from playing in the water when he was young. But in fact, the little man has lived for so many years and has been fishing in the Yellow River all year round, and he has never encountered one.

I am a monkey in water, so I have no chance to verify these rumors.”

"Hehehe, I do believe this. If the rumors about water monkeys were true, you would definitely not be alive now if you met one."

Yu Ji interjected when he heard this, then looked at Wu Liang and asked thoughtfully, "Master, you suddenly asked such a question, could it be..."

"Yes, I wonder if this thing is the rumored 'water monkey'?"

Wu Liang nodded and said to everyone with reason, "There are rumors that the 'water monkey' is an evil object transformed by the soul of a drowned person. Therefore, it is closely related to the floating corpse in the water, and this thing is attached to the floating corpse.

Coupled with the unique way it dragged people into the water, and the bruises it left on the big dog's ankles that were similar to handprints, if it hadn't been for the owner who was dragged into the water and drowned, it would be difficult for other bystanders to tell clearly what happened at that time.

Given the situation, it is reasonable to spread rumors about a 'Water Monkey'."

“And if this conjecture is true, then the saying ‘Although water monkeys are extremely powerful in the water, they become limp and powerless once they leave the water’ may also be true.”

"At least so far, I have tried some methods to stimulate the larger bugs, but it has never responded, nor has it shown signs of attack or entanglement like the big dogs encountered before, so I

Just asked a question."

Having said this, Wu Liang paused slightly.

Then he looked back at the big dog and said pointedly: "But it is also possible that this kind of thing will only react when it feels fresh flesh and blood. I haven't tried this method yet, so..."

"ah?"

The big dog was stunned again, and after three seconds of silence, he stood up with a "ooh" sound, gave Wu Liang a gift and said with a firm face: "Thank you for your life-saving grace. The matter is now over, and the villain has understood it."

After all, everyone has their own destiny. If the villain is really killed by these little bugs in the future, it will be the fate of the villain. If the villain admits it...it is getting late. I guess my benefactor is also a little hungry. The villain

Then I will go back and cook some big fish for my benefactor to show my kindness to the landlord and take the first step."

After saying this, without waiting for Wu Liang to respond, the big dog walked resolutely into the distance. Although there were still some twists and turns, the speed was comparable to that of a trot.

"this……"

Looking at the big dog's fleeing back, everyone in the Hu army was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Cao Ni stepped forward and pinched Wu Liang's lower back, and said with a smile: "Look at how scared you have made this man, his legs and feet are much faster."

"I think Brother Youcai scared him away on purpose."

Zhuge Liang analyzed the crowd with a serious look, "Brother Youcai must have already thought about what to do next, but it's just that it's not convenient for this person to see these things, and it's not easy to issue an order to expel guests directly, so I deliberately scared him, okay?"

Teach him to retreat when faced with difficulties, my talented brother, am I right?"

"Is that so?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Liang.

Wu Liang smiled noncommittally, turned around and looked at Yang Wanli and said, "Yang Wanli, go back quickly and bring us ten kilograms of refined salt."

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded and ran quickly towards the fishing village.

"What do you want, Master?"

Yu Ji asked with some confusion.

Everyone also looked puzzled. In their minds, salt is a necessary ingredient for cooking, and it is a necessity that people must eat, but they have never heard of other uses.

After all, whether now or in the past, salt is either exclusively owned by the court or controlled by the powerful. It is a complete industry monopoly, and the pricing power is naturally completely in the hands of the court and the powerful. Therefore, the price of salt has never been cheap, and few people will

If you do those messy experiments on this kind of thing, your understanding of it will naturally be very limited.

"You'll find out later."

Wu Liang just smiled mysteriously.

…

Soon after.

Yang Wanli came back with a whole clay pot of refined salt.

Wu Liang took the salt shaker and went straight to the floating corpse. Then he tilted the salt shaker and sprinkled the salt while slowly turning around the floating corpse.

Soon a white circle similar to the fixed line used to mark murder scenes in later generations appeared in front of everyone's eyes, just enclosing the floating corpse inside.

"It looks quite interesting. Is this going to be a ritual..."

Cao Ni stood aside with her hands on her hips, as if she had understood Wu Liang's intention, and said with a proud look on her face.

But the next moment.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Liang had already grabbed a large handful of salt and sprinkled it directly on the insects entrenched in the abdomen of the floating corpse.

"Hiss..."

As soon as the salt got on the bugs, they immediately began to sway and twist crazily as if they had been greatly stimulated.

Even the "fluffy" little bugs immediately broke away from the big bug's body and crawled away one after another as if they were fleeing.

Soon they crawled around the white circle that Wu Liang had arranged using refined salt.

Some bugs started twisting wildly as soon as they touched the white circle, but after just a few twists, they disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Some bugs were keenly aware of the danger and began to change directions and crawl away.

Unfortunately, the white circle arranged by Wu Liang had no gaps at all. Suddenly, the white circle was filled with "fluffy" bugs. At first glance, it looked like someone had just filled the white circle with red paint.

"How is this going?"

Everyone in the Hu army suddenly widened their eyes.
