Chapter 489

"Just a mere worm?"

Xue Wenyuan took his eyes back from Chong Po, looked at Xu Tuiqing, and said strangely.

Seeing the difference in Xue Wenyuan's expression, Xu Tuiqing was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively, "This is obviously a worm, what's the problem?"

Xue Wenyuan shook his head and sighed, "This is a worm, that's for sure! But the key is the worm in the amber..."

Xue Wenyuan's voice paused, his brows furrowed, and he was lost in thought, as if he was thinking about how to word it.

Xu Tuiqing narrowed his eyes and looked sharply at the vicious worm in the amber. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Although this worm is strange, there is nothing special about it? Is it worth your attention?"

"You do not understand!"

Xue Wenyuan said solemnly, "You know that I am engaged in the research of ancient creatures! Although I can't say that I am proficient in everything about ancient creatures, I know about it, but this is the first time I have seen such a strange bug!"

Xu Tuiqing's face became solemn when he heard what Xue Wenyuan said, because Xu Tuiqing knew that Xue Wenyuan was no one in the world in terms of ancient biological research!

"Brother Xu, don't you know what this bug is?"

Xu Tuiqing stretched out his finger and pointed at the cicada, and said in a deep voice, "You see it is similar to the current cicada, maybe it is a variant of the cicada?"

Xue Wenyuan said solemnly, "No! This bug is like gold, has six wings on its back, and has ferocious mouthparts, so it is definitely not the ancient ancestor of modern cicadas!"

"Then it..." Xu Tuiqing was also confused, and couldn't understand what the bug in the amber was.

Xue Wenyuan stared at the worm and said in a whisper, "Seeing this worm reminds me of a legend!"

legend?

All the Shi friends who were watching were all interested. This Xue Wenyuan looked like a learned person. Does he know what the creatures in this insect amber are?

"It is said that in ancient times, there was abundant spiritual energy between heaven and earth, nourishing all kinds of rare and exotic beasts. Among them, the five insects, seven birds, and nine beasts are the most famous."

Xue Wenyuan's voice was very low, and all the Shi friends around held their breaths and listened quietly to Xue Wenyuan.

"Let's not talk about the seven animals and the nine beasts, we will talk about the five insects."

"The five insects are the six-winged silkworm, the bloodthirsty black ant mosquito, the multi-eyed golden centipede, the nine-tailed earth scorpion, and the nine-headed insect!"

"These five insects are all bloodthirsty and brutal, and they are famous for their viciousness. Among them, the six-winged silkworm is the most powerful and the head of the five insects!"

"Six-winged silkworm?" Xu Tuiqing was startled, and asked Xue Wenyuan suspiciously, "Brother Xue, is the bug in this amber the legendary six-winged silkworm?"

Xue Wenyuan nodded and said solemnly, "It's very possible!"

Outside the crowd, Ye Yu's eyes showed the color of enlightenment, six-winged silkworm? No wonder!

No wonder it was sealed in amber for thousands of years after death, and still has such a vicious aura!

Zhou Kaige's face changed slightly, and the ecstasy in his heart turned into worry.

"Legends are just legends! And this bug is not necessarily a six-winged silkworm! How much can a dead bug be worth?"

In the crowd, Zhou Kaige's voice sounded, "Master Xu, please estimate the price of this worm and see if it can surpass my imperial green jadeite!"

A group of Shi friends also began to discuss. Compared with the previous consensus that Ye Yu would lose, these onlookers are now hesitant.

"If this is really a six-winged silkworm, then this worm is amazing! Maybe it will really surpass the emperor's green jadeite!"

"Well... it's hard to say! Is there any evidence that this bug is a six-winged silkworm?"

"Tsk tsk... This game is getting more and more interesting! It's hard to predict who will win and who will lose now!"

"But I still think Zhou Gongzi will win, that's a rare imperial green jade!"

"I think that young man can win! That is the legendary peerless worm! The only one in the world! The value is immeasurable!"
