Chapter 134: The Enchanted Man
"Not good!"
The sudden change made everyone's faces change suddenly, once such a dense 'Gu worm' took shape and was detonated, then everyone who was besieged here would be wiped out in an instant, but what was worse was not only this.
"Are you crazy!? The sewers here are connected to the drainage network in the city outside, do you plan to destroy the entire ancient city of Weiyang on these 'Gu worms'!"
Chen Siyi scolded angrily, the inscription in the palm of her hand burst out again, and with a wave of her strength, the invisible wind pressure immediately reversed its momentum and rushed towards the man in the burqa who was manipulating the witch Gu spell!
"Bang bang!"
Two violent explosions burst out in the rain curtain! In the splashing water, Ah Xing's figure suddenly blurred for a moment, and then disappeared abruptly.
"What!?" Chen Siyi didn't expect Ah Xing to be so skilled, and she hesitated a little in surprise, and it was during this brief hesitation that an adult centipede mixed with the rain had unknowingly climbed up to Chen Siyi's feet and quickly climbed along her calves.
"Hmm......!?" The strange touch went all the way up, and Chen Siyi, who noticed something different, looked down and saw a centipede lying on her right leg, and suddenly a wave of nausea and horror surged into her head, and her body suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and her body suddenly froze in place.
"Oh no! get rid of it!!"
Jiang Yao's anxious cry suddenly sounded from beside her, but such a voice seemed so far away in Chen Siyi's ears, at this time she had already lost her ability to react in extreme panic, and only the centipede on her leg that had risen sharply in her pupils was left.
"Bang ——!!"
The loud sound of the explosion was deafening, melting Chen Siyi's frozen consciousness in an instant. She looked at the centipede Gu worm that was knocked away by the stone and exploded into slag in the air, and then lowered her head to look at her slightly trembling right leg, if the "Gu worm*" was still lying there, she was afraid that she would have fallen in a pool of blood at this time.
“…… You ......" Chen Siyi turned her head stiffly, and what appeared in front of her line of sight was Jiang Yao, who had helped her get rid of the centipede just now.
"Don't be stunned! those bugs are coming again!"
Jiang Yao's scolding finally sobered up Chen Siyi's consciousness, and at this moment she finally realized her gaffe, so she stopped saying a word, stretched out her hand and waved it again! With a huge wind pressure whistling by, the group of Gu insects at the front who were about to become adults were instantly crushed by the wind pressure, but this kind of resistance was obviously just a drop in the bucket in front of the endless gushing insects, and the inscription in Chen Siyi's hand also became weaker and weaker under the repeated consumption before.
"Everyone, please gather around me. As Uncle Yun spoke, the fluorescence of a trace of magic suddenly burst out in his hand, and he saw a translucent light shroud suddenly enveloping everyone, like an enchantment, isolating everyone from the surging insect tide.
"Hmph...... is really worthy of being a big lady, and the masters around her are like clouds. ”
The cold words sounded faintly again, and I saw that this time Ah Xing had appeared on the roof in front of him, just sneering and looking down at the people who were fighting in embarrassment, as if watching a good show that had not been seen for a long time.
"Ah Xing...... When the hell did you learn this kind of vicious Gu technique!?" Chen Siyi scolded angrily as he commanded the Shishen Void to clear the approaching larvae.
"Huh...... Do you remember that more than a month ago, Wang Le and I went to the Miaozhai Mountains to buy medicinal herbs?" Ah Xing sneered, and did not answer directly, but changed the conversation. "It was that journey that made me inadvertently learn the truth about Xiaojie's disappearance from Wang Le's mouth, and this ability to take revenge was obtained at that time!"
Ah Xing's face was distorted, and behind his bloodshot eyes, there was deep pathos and hatred.
"It's ironic to say that Wang Le, who has always been cautious and does not leak, would have a mental breakdown because he 'bumped into a ghost' in the mountains, if he hadn't been stimulated to confess his crimes, the truth of Xiaojie's disappearance would have been buried by them by now!"
"'Bumped into a ghost'?" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something. "Are you referring to the fact that he encountered a 'headless walking corpse' in the mountains!?"
"That's right!" Ah Xing shouted as he glared. "Because he has a ghost in his heart, he claims to have seen Xiaojie's corpse and came to him to seek revenge! It was precisely because of this incident that I knew that Xiaojie was killed by him!"
Wen Jie's corpse...... To seek revenge??
Hearing this, Jiang Yao was surprised, and Ah Xing seemed to have fallen into a crazy memory, and he gushed again.
"Later, the man surnamed Wang learned that he said to me when he lost his mind, and he wanted to kill me, if it wasn't for the appearance of 'that person', I would have been killed in the mountains like Xiaojie!"
"'That person'?" Jiang Yao frowned. "Who is it?"
"That man...... Hmm!?" Ah Xing's eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and his words stopped abruptly, he shook his head vigorously, and after a while, a cold smile appeared on his face again.
"Hmph, you don't need to know who that person is, just know that thanks to that person implanting Gu worms on Wang Le, I can get my life back because of this. It's a pity that Wang Le, who has become a puppet, can't confess his accomplices, and 'that person' taught me the art of witchcraft in order to let me find Wang Le's accomplices with my own hands, and he is simply a messenger sent by God to help me take revenge! Hahahaha......"
Looking at Ah Xing, who fell into madness in the storm, Jiang Yao unexpectedly calmed down, and a doubt lingered in his heart.
"The Art of Sorcery...... Is it so easy to learn and play to this extent?" Jiang Yao turned his head and asked in a low voice to the gluttony next to him.
"Hmph, this kind of evil magic, how can it be learned without decades of training, behind this kind of 'quick success', I'm afraid there is something boring. Gluttony said indifferently, glancing at the insects that were pouring out like a tide in the rain. "Moreover, don't you think the number of these Gu worms is abnormal?"
"Indeed, the number of 'Gu worms' that a wizard can manipulate is very limited, and it is impossible to cultivate so many at the same time, let alone a novice like him...... What the hell is going on?" Chen Siyi also seemed to have discovered the problem, and Liu frowned slightly.
"Hmm...... I think these bugs may not be the real 'Gu worms'. Uncle Yun stared at the insects that were swarming with a glowing glow, and suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it the real 'Gu worm'?" Jiang Yao said in surprise. "What do you say?"
"'Breath' is not right. Uncle Yun said. "Although it was very weak, I did sense the 'demonic energy' from those bugs, which is impossible for ordinary 'Gu worms'. ”
"'Demon spirit'?!" Jiang Yao's face changed. "Is it possible...... These bugs are actually demons?"
"It's not so much a 'demon' as a 'demon's doppelganger'. Uncle Yun shook his head. "Judging from the concentration of the breath, these insects should just be the 'prop clones' embodied by the demonic energy, and there is likely to be a real demon behind them who is manipulating these clones and attacking us as *. ”
"In other words, just destroying these 'clones' is a fundamental cure for the symptoms and not the root cause, and we must find the 'demon' as the source as soon as possible...... But where is the 'demon'?" Jiang Yao was a little anxious, he looked up at Ah Xing, who was still laughing wildly on the roof, and suddenly found that a strange shadow seemed to crawl through the other party's neck.
"This is!?" Jiang Yao's expression froze, and he hurriedly fixed his eyes and looked again. The dancing wind and rain lifted a corner of Ah Xing's robe, and this time, Jiang Yao finally saw a very thick centipede shadow slowly crawling over Ah Xing's gray chest skin.
"It's difficult, can you say ......" Jiang Yao's eyes widened, he looked at the man on the roof, his eyes were red and he had lost his mind, and a terrible guess came to his mind. "Could it be that 'demon'...... It's hidden in Ah Xing's body!?"
"What......!" Chen Siyi was shocked when she heard this, but she couldn't deny the abnormality that Ah Xing was showing, and between hesitations, the centipede shadow on Ah Xing's body became more obvious, and Ah Xing's face began to turn from gray to purple.
"It turns out that the demon has been lurking in Ah Xing's body before, no wonder it didn't leave a trace before. Uncle Yun stared at Ah Xing's appearance, and his words were not worried. "But looking at Ah Xing's appearance, I'm afraid he has been parasitized by that 'demon' and used as essence food, and once his essence is sucked out, not only will his life be difficult to protect at that time, but these well-fed and well-fed insect-shaped clones will probably be detonated at the same time......"
"Oh, I'll go! What can I do...... Just take advantage of the fact that the 'demon' hasn't come out and blast Ah Xing away together!" Wu Lao Liu shouted, and hurriedly turned to Chen Siyi. "I said, Miss Chen, aren't you very powerful, hurry up and kill him!"
"Shut up! My power will never be used to kill people!" Chen Siyi's eyes widened, and he said awe-inspiringly.
"Oh, my eldest lady, he has become like this, and sooner or later he will die, can you let him get free?" Wu Lao Liu looked powerless to complain. "Besides, if you don't do this, I'll die with him together! And he has so many lives in his hands, he won't be wronged when he dies......"
"Even if he is guilty, I am not qualified to lynch him, this is my 'belief'! Otherwise, what is the difference between me and him!?" Chen Siyi insisted, without the slightest intention of backing down. "In addition to killing people, there must be other ways to strip off the 'demon'!"
"Hehe, what if not?" Tao Tao looked at Chen Siyi's expression coldly, and there was a hint of mockery in his red eyes. "I think you know that once these bugs are detonated, even if a few of us can escape, the people in the city outside will not be so lucky. Or are the lives of those innocent people less than what you call "faith"?
"You ......!" Chen Siyi's face changed suddenly, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was speechless for a while, but Zhao Minmin, who had been silent on the side at this time, suddenly spoke:
"No, there is a way, Ah Xing...... There is also salvation. ”
Zhao Minmin raised her head and looked at the man who was completely crazy in the wind and rain, there was no hesitation and panic in her eyes at this time, but an unwavering firmness.
"I ...... There's a way to deal with that demon. ”
