Chapter 149 Caressing the Ghost Insect

After all, during his lifetime, Lord Qingmi encountered many nameless poisonous creatures, and the names were given on the spot.

Feng Siyue paused in turning the pages of her book. "It's not certain yet."

Qingqing flew to the table. "Sigh, I guessed right."

"Strictly speaking, these seven books are all about the Seven-Colored Scaled Insect and those with similar poisoning symptoms. Whether it's the Seven-Colored Scaled Insect you're looking for or the poison you're currently researching, you can find the answers in them."

Feng Siyue's heart stirred slightly.

"Thank you."

Qingqing did her a huge favor.

The little guy rolled his eyes. "Alright, you'd better hurry up and look at it, or you might run out of time."

Feng Siyue nodded, "Okay!"

She didn't catch the underlying meaning in Qingqing's words.

Three hours later, Feng Siyue, her eyes bloodshot, finally put down her pen.

"finished!"

"All right?"

Feng Siyue nodded excitedly, "Among all the records in the books, there are a total of 117 records that are identical to the information of Senior Xuan and Senior Yue Shang!"

"Of these 117 types, 61 types exhibit symptoms similar to those of Fulai Inn and Qingsheng Inn."

Qingqing yawned. "So?"

Feng Siyue breathed a long sigh of relief, "As long as we can find more traces on the body, we can basically determine which one it is!"

Qingqing: "This is a very complicated task."

"That's right, but it's better than knowing nothing at all."

When Feng Siyue reappeared in the room, there was already a faint light outside the window.

The smell inside the house is even worse!

She could faintly smell a pungent odor of gunpowder.

Wait, the smell of gunpowder?

Feng Siyue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a sentence: "Leave it for a long time without wind, and after three hours you can smell the gunpowder."

Right!

Feng Siyue quickly pulled out the booklet she had written.

The original sixty-one species were reduced to five: the Stroking Ghost Insect, the Spirit-Symptomized Dead Flower, the Ghostly Butterfly, the Bloodthirsty Insect, and the Dragon-Swallowing Ant.

Dragon-devouring ants prefer to burrow into the heart of a living organism. After the blood-sucking insects have eaten it, more than a dozen bloody marks will appear on the neck, and eventually a black venomous tumor will grow on the body.

None of the people Feng Siyue examined showed any corresponding symptoms.

The venom of the Ephemeral Butterfly infects the entire human body, causing the eyes to turn a ghostly blue color; these people are not examples of this.

All that remained were the stroking ghost insects and the parasitic dead flowers.

The grotesque insect is an extremely ugly and highly poisonous creature. Anyone touched by it, even with the slightest touch to the skin, will have their limbs rotting within an hour.

If it burrows into the body, it will slowly devour the host's flesh and blood, growing a black tumor on the surface of the body.

Once the host can no longer be extracted of any value, the mollusc within the tumor will emerge from its cocoon and transform into a higher-level larva of the mollusc!

If the host's bloodline power is strong enough, the Possa Ghost Dream Moth is very likely to grow into a high-level sacred beast and directly transform into a god after reaching adulthood!

The Parasitic Dead Flower is similar to the Swaying Ghost Insect. After the host dies, it resembles a dried corpse, covered in purple vines, and blooms with beautiful blood-red flowers from the tumor.

Based on its current form, breaking open the tumor would reveal exactly what it is.

However, neither the Floating Ghost Insect nor the Parasitic Dead Flower seems to have a direct relationship with the Seven-Colored Scale Insect.

Could it be that it really wasn't caused by the seven-colored scale insect?

Feng Siyue's heart slowly began to ache.

However, let's first determine what's in front of us.

Feng Siyue took out a dagger and carefully made a cut on one of the tumors, black pus appeared along with a series of strange noises.

Seeing this, Feng Siyue cautiously took a few steps back, staring at the tumor without moving.

The contents of the tumor twitched, and a small red bud slowly grew out and began to grow larger.

This is... a Parasitic Death Flower?

But why...

Feng Siyue's gaze fell on the corpse, and she frowned slightly. There were no vines.

She didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Immediately afterwards, the flower bud began to unfold, and all five petals bloomed at the same time, and a blood-red insect slowly crawled out.

Feng Siyue's initial confusion had turned into shock!

She frantically cried out in her mind, "Qingqing, this...this...could this be a Possessed Ghost Insect!?"

Qingqing was also somewhat surprised to see the insects outside. Then, looking at the blood-red flower, it suddenly understood.

"Holy crap! Contractor, this is a combination of the Floating Ghost Insect and the Parasitic Death Flower!"

"Who's so twisted as to want to create a new creature?!"

Feng Siyue didn't even have time to pay attention to Qingqing's words, because after the insect saw her, it actually started to rush straight towards her!

In just two meters, this insect grew rapidly from the size of a thumb to the size of a head!

This sudden turn of events startled Feng Siyue so much that she instinctively took out Yue Wan and immediately slashed at it.

Fortunately, she remained somewhat calm, and Yue Wan quickly withdrew after cutting off its wings.

but!

Even with its wings severed, it seemed to have no effect on its movements. In the blink of an eye, its body grew larger again and crawled towards her!

Feng Siyue had to sever its legs again to disable the insect's ability to attack.

However, because of Yue Wan, Feng Siyue's existence was still discovered!
