Chapter 288 288. Shrimp catcher

Qiao Mu took a closer look and found that these bugs were not the ants he originally thought, but centipede-like creatures with more than a dozen legs. These creatures crawled onto Qiao Mu's shoes and began to chew them without any pause. He chewed up the upper of Qiao Mu's shoe.

Like a rushing tide, black sesame-sized insects quickly climbed up Qiao Mu's shoes, climbed to his ankles, and began to tear Qiao Mu's flesh and blood.

"?"

Qiao Mu didn't expect the ants in Penglai to be so ferocious. He glanced at it, and pale flames immediately rose from his ankles. Those "ants" rolled down due to the high temperature, igniting their companions. For a moment, the cracks in the gravel road were filled with into flames.

He saw the "ants" rolling on the ground constantly struggling and twitching. Their bodies were curled up and carbonized due to the high temperature, but they were always squirming without any signs of losing their vitality.

So he squatted down, picked up a burning "ant" with his fingers, and observed it carefully.

"Really alive."

Even though the "ant" had been burned into a chitinous mass by the flames, it still remained active and did not completely quiet down.

"Is this Penglai?"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but sigh.

When he got along with Ah Xin before, he didn't have much awareness. Now that he really came to this foreign land, Qiao Mu realized that it was different.

Since the people of Penglai are immortal, most of the animals here are also immortal.

In a world where everyone is immortal, a lot of common sense would be broken.

These "ants" will fall into eternal pain under the flames and survive forever in the form of a ball of flesh.

It's a little scary to think about.

Qiao Mu tried to calm down the flames.

He saw the densely packed "ants" on the ground gradually dispersing, as if they had understood Qiao Mu's terror, sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and fled quickly, leaving only the unlucky ones who had been burned into a ball and kept crawling in place.

"It's a pity that I can't help you escape. Oh, by the way."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but apologize. Suddenly, he thought of something and bent down.

"You are actually dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the squirming balls of flesh stopped struggling and became motionless, as if they were dead objects.

"good."

Qiao Mu used the power of [lie] to make these insects think that he was dead. Although they were not dead yet, they acted like they were dead.

Of course, this is not a permanent and irreversible effect. If an external force is exerted to make them realize that they are still alive, then the [lie] will be broken.

In human terms, it means covering pollution with stronger pollution.

He stood up and looked at the trees on the roadside. They were probably immortal.

When he came under the tree, Qiao Mu found that the mottled bark was as smooth as the scales of living things. He reached out and touched it, and found that the branches were trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of something.

"Don't worry, I won't burn you. I'll set the mountain on fire and sit in jail."

Qiao Mu said to it.

Looking away, Qiao Mu looked ahead at the road.

[Don’t stop, as long as you keep moving forward, the road will continue to extend and reach the end of your journey]

Bright red words appeared on the gravel road, which was full of potholes.

A piece of iron materialized in the palm of Qiao Mu's right hand. Before he could grasp it firmly, the iron piece assembled and deformed by itself, becoming the shape of a small drone.

"go."

He released the drone.

At the same time, Qiao Mu took out his cell phone.

"Xiao Ai, help me connect the drone's camera."

"Roger that, Master."

It seems that Xiao Ai can also be used normally in this foreign land.

By the way, after merging Xiao Ai with a mobile phone, Qiao Mu's mobile phone theoretically becomes an extraordinary object. Not only does it have a battery with nuclear fusion energy, it will never run out of power, but it also does not require satellite signals to make calls. Said to be far ahead.

Qiao Mu looked at her phone, and the screen had turned into a drone shot.

The drone overlooked the land and saw lush mountain forests. The gravel road was paved along the mountains and extended into a deep valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

There are streams intertwined with mountain springs in the valley. Villages are located along the streams. There seem to be people moving in the terraces cultivated along the ridge. Some of them noticed the noise in the sky and raised their heads.

"At least he looks like an ordinary person."

Qiao Mu commented.

But think about it, Ah Xin looks very normal, and it can’t be said that people from Penglai look weird.

Just when Qiao Mu was about to take back the drone, the camera suddenly tilted and the drone lost contact.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Mu asked Xiao Ai.

"Reported, it is speculated that it has been physically damaged. If the owner wants to avoid this kind of situation from happening again, I recommend purchasing the Nuwa Technology 203S079 UAV Gatling cannon. This cannon is loaded with 800 rounds of ammunition. The rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute. If you buy it now, I can provide you with a coupon. You only need to spend an additional 30,000 yuan to get 3,000 rounds of special bullets.”

Xiao Ai replied while promoting.

"That would be great."

Qiao Mu could only lament that he was too poor.

He didn't know what caused the drone to fall after being attacked by something. It would be fine if it was taken away by a big bird in the wild as food, but it would be a bit embarrassing if it was shot down by villagers.

Qiao Mu didn't intend to put up another fight. Anyway, the purpose was to explore the road. Once he knew the direction of the village, he could just leave.

With a thought in his mind, a high-end black hearse made of paper materialized in front of Qiao Mu.

He got into the hearse and drove on the bumpy road.

"The shrimp catcher."

The hearse had difficulty moving on the road, but it was still much faster than Qiao Mu walking.

Opening and driving, Qiao Mu entered the forest.

Trees that have grown for unknown ages block the sun, leaving patches of shade, making the road ambiguous.

Suddenly, Qiao Mu saw a passerby in front of him.

"Strange, did you see the drone just now?"

Qiao Mu thought for a while and guessed that the woods might have blocked the drone's camera. He drove the hearse behind the person and found that it was a woman.

At least they were wearing women's clothes.

This man was wearing the kind of ancient dress that Qiao Mu had only seen in costume TV series. His long hair was tied up behind his head, revealing the white back of his neck.

"hello."

Qiao Mu said hello and pressed the horn of the paper hearse, making a suona sound.

Toot toot—

He drove the car next to the other party, slowed down, and talked like the kind of boss who picks up female college students.

"?"

The woman stopped and looked to her side.

Her expression was strange, as if she was wondering where Qiao Mu came from and what this black thing was.

But Qiao Mu's expression was even weirder.

"Um?"

Because he immediately recognized that the woman standing next to his car looked familiar.

It’s exactly the same as Ah Xin!

After learning that A Xin was from Penglai, Qiao Mu blurted out.

"Axin?"
