Hearing my question about the whereabouts of the water monkey, someone immediately replied, "Dr. Lin, it's here! Over here!"
I parted the crowd and walked over, and Uncle Changgui followed me with his hands behind his back.
I saw some branches covering the ground, and the people next to me took the branches away, and the body of the object!
I leaned down to observe carefully - this thing looks more than thirty pounds, cloaked in black hair, hair balding a piece and a piece, balding off the place vaguely reveals a layer of faint green scales, like some fine-scaled fish.
It bulged with a pair of white eyes, the mouth showed sharp teeth, limbs also have sharp claws, but broken a lot, the remaining horny claws about the length of the index finger, I have never seen an otter grow like this.
People around the stirred up, have said that this is a water monkey.
But in my opinion, this thing is obviously not water monkeys - water monkeys are water ghosts, as ghosts simply do not leave a body.
Observing the scales on the creature, I suddenly remembered a creature mentioned in a book, and was shocked, and asked the people around me, "How did Li Youtian and Zhang Xiaofa kill it?"
"Uh ..." Most people were bewildered, and someone replied, "It seems to have been killed with a stick!"
I asked, "What kind of stick?"
The man pinched his hands together and gestured, "Well, it's about this thick!"
I shook my head, "Impossible, this thing's muscles are so developed, claws and teeth so sharp, it seems to be a carnivore, it will never die so easily."
Village Chief Changgui looked around, cleared his throat and asked, "Who was at the scene? Come out and tell us what happened!"
The group looked at each other, a young boy said he saw, the boy recalled: "Brother Tian and small hair brother saw this thing floating on the water, surrounded by a lot of fish, took the net to it up, and then hit it with a stick, hit a little move, and finally did not move."
I nodded and touched the animal's body to make sure it was dead, turned it over and saw a deep wound on the corpse's neck, obviously cut out by a sharp instrument.
I said, "It seems that it was dead, Li Youtian and Zhang Xiaofa took a stick to beat it when it still moved, but it is only the nerve reflexes after death."
The boy was busy interjecting again: "Then Brother Youtian and Brother Xiaofa cut a piece of its flesh and roasted it to eat, saying it was not good, and it was woody and smelly!"
"What!?" I was shocked, thinking that these two people are too tiger! No wonder there were burn marks inside the mound!
"They ate the meat of this thing?"
Seeing my expression change, the little boy was a bit scared and nodded timidly, "Yes!"
"Where are the two of them?"
"They said they had stomach pains and went home."
I immediately felt a burst of brain pain, the village head asked me: "Dr. Lin, what do you see? What the hell is this game?"
I straightened up and said, "This thing is a jiao!"
"Jiao?" The "auger?", "What auger?" Surrounded by people cut whispered in surprise.
I explained that the "dragon" of "Jiao", the group heard more puzzled, how this Jiao look like this? Jiao is not supposed to look like a dragon?
In fact, people's impression of the auger, and the real auger is not the same thing - auger is an unknown "disease" that exists in nature for a long time, after the infection of the creature will undergo physical mutation, gradually become more ferocious, bloodthirsty, become closer to the reptiles, and finally Close to the body of the dragon, once the success of the thunder tribulation, it can become a dragon.
In a word, the dragon is the intermediate form of the transition of all living creatures to the dragon, of course, into the dragon is not an easy task, it can be said that a thousand horses over a single wooden bridge.
The "White Zephyr" says: "chicken has four distance from the heavy wing, the dragon, kill the shock death; sheep have a horn when the top, the earth dragon, kill the shock death; red moth two heads and white wings of the dragon, kill the soldiers die."
Here the dragon refers to the dragon.
The folklore says that "the dragon has nine different sons and daughters," these seemingly dragon and not dragon, like a beast and not a beast "dragon son" is actually aiao, the real dragon is no fertility, because it is the same life as heaven and earth in the class creatures, do not need to give birth.
Jiao class a wide range, but we are accustomed to the transformation of the snake called Jiao Jiao, other strange-shaped creatures unified as demons. But we witch doctors to treat diseases, identify the species is the basic function, demon-induced diseases, and aiao-induced diseases, certainly not a cure.
The book "Jie Wei Guangzhi" said Jiao is divided into five stages, I forget exactly, but the growth of scales, and the growth of horns are two watersheds, this one is obviously by the otter Jiao, has crossed the first stage of Jiao.
And Li Youtian and Zhang Xiaofa actually big heart to eat the meat of such monsters, the thought of this I have a headache, these two people really do not want to die!
But right now the urgent need to address the batch of "eager" aquatic creatures, they are attracted by the auger corpse, all want to come over to share a piece of the pie. Because as long as they eat the auger corpse, they will gradually transform into auger.
Jiao cells will attract creatures to eat themselves, it is the way it spreads, so millions of years, the auger in nature is unbreakable, and auger hunting each other for that step to heaven, the opportunity to become a true dragon.
To the crowd a general explanation of what is aiao, then the army of water snakes, toads behind them and moved forward a few steps, scared the crowd screamed, backward.
I swept a glance at the group of snakes and toads, there is no point in killing them all, as long as the auger corpse is here, there will be a steady stream of creatures attracted to it. So far, this auger corpse will attract aquatic creatures, it seems to be water attribute.
I shouted, "Excuse me, everyone, go get some bamboo charcoal, sulfur and coarse salt!"
The village chief Changgui hurriedly commanded a few boys to fetch these materials, and I told the others to dig a deeper hole in the ground out.
A little later, the materials were brought, I first laid a layer of coarse salt in the bottom of the pit, and then threw the auger corpse into it, filled with bamboo charcoal and sulfur, and then lit a fire to burn.
Flames soon blazed up, the auger corpse emitted a burst of unusual stench, accompanied by a squeaking sound.
Suddenly, the fire in the corpse actually moved, the open claws slowly closed, covering his chest and abdomen!
This action has scared the crowd back, only I still stand on the edge of the fire.
I said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a normal muscle twitch."
I said this is purely to comfort the crowd, in fact, where the hands of the corpse covered by the auger, should be hiding the same thing, according to the book called the Dragon Dan!
Just as the demon will produce a demon dan, practitioners will produce a golden dan, the auger will also absorb the essence of heaven and earth, condensing a dragon dan in the body, which is the source of its life force.
But in this environment, I dare not risk cutting out the Dragon Dan, if the aquatic creatures robbed, it will not be long before another weird creature emerges from the fish pond, one such auger ten strong men can not beat. Besides, this Dragon Dan is not too much use to me.
I thought to myself, this auger should not be our here, perhaps last night's heavy rain, washed down from the mountains. But how exactly did it get fatally wounded? Was there another auger fighting with it?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at the green-tinged cattle ridge mountain not far away.
As the fire became fierce, the tissue of the auger corpse was damaged, and gradually the muscles charred, and it just maintained the action of clasping its belly with both hands and was burned into a charred black sculpture. The otter still looks a bit like a human, looking a bit weird.
With the gradual incineration of the carcass, the group was surprised to find that the aquatic creatures "withdrawal".
Those water snakes seem to have come to their senses, immediately turned against their allies, turned their heads and swallowed a few toads, stomach rolled into the grass. The remaining toads who escaped a calamity were scattered, the fish in the water should do what to do to go, the pond and restore the peace of old.
The group looked in the eyes, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
But these words can not make me happy, I frowned tightly, heavy heart - because Li Youtian and Zhang Xiaofa this time a big trouble, since they ate the meat, they are afraid that the two have been infected with augmentation disease!
