Chapter 906 (1/2)
Jingji is carefully cultivating the metacercariae.
He didn't know much about the metacercariae. He learned it from the conversation of the clansmen. So in addition to breeding the metacercariae, he decided to see for himself how powerful it was.
He captured some animals, including ordinary sized monkeys, three meters tall strong black ape, big fist big eyed macaque, and tied them all to the forest with special cane.
All the apes screamed in horror.
The black ape roared, and the monkey tore his throat and howled. The combination was so noisy that the leaves in the forest fell. Jingji didn't seem to hear it. He walked slowly to the river, scooped a bowl of water with a stone bowl, and then turned back.
He walked up to a yellow haired monkey and put a stingy egg into the water. Then he put his right hand around the monkey's mouth like a pair of tongs. His fingers opened its fangs and forced the water mixed with the eggs into its throat.
The river was poured into it without a drop.
”Roar!”
After the Yellow haired monkey was released, he bared his teeth and hissed at Jingji in a ferocious manner. His eyes were red, and he tore the cane violently to escape from the cane.
However, the cane seemed to have life, and the more struggling it was, the tighter the hoop was. The monkey was hanged upside down with its feet tied, and its limbs were jumping in panic.
”Gee, gee, Gee!”
The monkey's call became full of begging for mercy.
Jingji walked over and pulled the cane and let the monkey's feet fall.
The monkey was ungrateful. As soon as he landed on the ground, he sprang up and bit Jingji's legs. However, the seemingly sharp teeth could not even break Jingji's skin. Jingji was too lazy to stop it, so he gently kicked it in the belly, and then continued to feed the next monkey water mixed with eggs.
After feeding them all, Jingji waited patiently for their changes.
This wait is a day.
The sky is getting dark in the ancient forest.
The red moon rises, the giant insects revel, and the figures sitting on the dead leaves are engulfed by the darkness.
As time went on, the rising sun rose in the East, and the sky was stained with fish belly white. Dew came from the tip of dead leaves. The figure sitting on it was awakened by the first ray of sunlight.
Jingji opens his eyes.
He found that one day later, the monkeys in the whole forest were as good as before. Even the youngest marmosets were still alive and kicking without any symptoms. His big eyes of gems were still full of luster and were not covered with shade.
Jingji frowned.
“…… Did you hear me wrong
They said that the attack of metacercariae should be very fast. The smaller the size, the weaker the animal will attack.
For such a long time, even soldiers should have symptoms.
Jing Ji grabs a monkey with a shady face, and carefully checks this little thing with sparse hair and big fist.
The little marmoset struggled violently in his hands, apparently strong.
Jingji frowned, picked off its long pointed ears, and opened its fur carefully, did not find a worm egg.
Thinking for a moment, Jingji pulled out the bone dagger.
The tip of the knife stabs into the monkey's body. After the monkey screams, it quickly peels off its skin. After confirming that there are no eggs under the skin, the knife tip cuts the meat inch by inch along the texture, and searches for the eggs that may be hidden inside.
He searched so carefully that he even cut open his internal organs.
However, the marmoset's body is very clean, even if the blood vessels are dissected, no egg can be found.
Jingji put down the bone dagger, went to the river to wash his hands and wash the blood. Then his fingers, like iron and broken watermelon, would crack open the macaque's head.
Fingers in the soft brain took out, half a day later, finally pulled out a very thin, as big as the newly hatched silkworm worm white meat worm.
With a sigh of relief, he caught a new macaque, twisted the tiny, tiny larva of metacercaria, and stuffed it into the monkey's nostrils.
To make sure the larvae get in.
He blocked the monkey's nostrils, carried the poor macaque's foot, shook it upside down, and finally tied it with a cane.
……
Jingji carried out the experiment patiently for several months.
He was pleasantly surprised by the result.
He found that, perhaps because the metacercariae had experienced an extinction disaster, the surviving metacercariae had undergone great changes, or more accurately, evolution.
There are many characteristics different from the metacercariae mentioned by the clansmen.
The growth cycle of neocysticercus is longer. It takes at least five days for the eggs to mature in the brain, and it takes longer for humans.
In addition, even if the metacercariae has become an adult in the host, and half of the host's brain is replaced by worms, the host's appearance is still normal and can act autonomously.
This kind of change has a kind of symbiotic meaning, also more covert.
Jingji grabs the arm of a black ape.
”Roar!”
The black ape, three meters tall and covered with hard muscles, growled ferociously. After finding that he could not fight Jingji, he sobbed for mercy.Jingji stepped on the chest of the black ape and opened its eyelids.
”No eggs.”
He grabbed the black ape's scalp and looked at its ear hole from the side, and found no eggs in it.
”Sure enough, there's no one here.”
Jing Ji knocked open the head of the black ape and took it out. No accident, the metacercariae inside has matured and replaced half of the brain of the black ape. It's very fat. It crawls all over the ground after catching it. It's mental and disgusting.
Jingji to his ears and nostrils stuffed with cloth, cut open the black ape's body, grain by grain to collect its body eggs.
The third change of metacercariae is that it does not spawn without restriction.
And some eggs are very, very small.
The bloody tip of the knife cut open the abdomen and picked out a sand sized egg from the liver.
Eggs with blood are sticking to the tip of the knife. Without this blood, this tiny egg would definitely be blown up by the wind. If it happened to be sucked into the nose, it would take root and sprout like a seed.
If the above three changes will bring great trouble to the clan.
Then the other two changes bring about the danger of destruction.
- kechongfen has no effect on the replacement of new metacercaria. Baiquat decoction is also ineffective to replace metacercariae.
Originally, Jing Ji was thinking of using miracidium to bring trouble to the clan, and then the poisonous mushroom spore was used to inflict heavy damage on the clan.
In his long wandering life, he found a kind of extremely rare poisonous mushroom. The spores of this poisonous mushroom are highly psychedelic. No matter how powerful the fierce beast is, if he inhales a little spore, he will fall into endless madness.
And when this spore is inhaled by a group, whether it's an ant colony or a bee colony or a dinosaur colony, it's going to get into a very intense fratricidal battle.
This mushroom spore was originally the dinner he brought to the clan.
But after the experiment, he changed his mind.
