Chapter 157: Insect Extermination
The four tall earthen walls, Ling Yun pushed to the ground, and the earth returned to normal, except for a few new cracks that were difficult to repair, and a large black volcanic stone on the ground.
On top of the high volcanic rock, there was a small glowing bug.
Ling Yun came to the top of the volcanic stone and saw that the original flaming ground worm that was as tall as a mountain, after losing all its flames, turned out to be a small long worm like a grass snake, but its body flashed with the blue light of phosphorus fire, letting people know that it was not an ordinary thing.
Ling Yun stepped the little insect under the sole of his shoe, and the insect screamed like a fierce puppy, opening its small mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs, desperately trying to bite Ling Yun's leg.
Ling Yun grabbed a forked branch, forked the little insect's head on the ground, couldn't move, and said with a smile: "This little thing, it's quite exquisite, it was you just now, ruining the world, and you want to kill me?"
The little worm didn't seem to understand human speech, and kept opening its mouth to scream, and the cry was very annoying.
"If you can't speak, then I'll trample you to death?" Ling Yun said threateningly.
"Brother Xian, save me!" a cry pierced the night sky.
Ling Yun was stunned, and the little insects barking under his feet were also stunned, and the sound became even more prominent.
"It's ...... Sun Xun's voice?" Ling Yun said strangely, "General Sun, is that you, where are you?"
"I'm right at your feet. Sun Xun shouted loudly.
Ling Yun glanced down at the insect, and the insect screamed again, opened its mouth to bite, where did it look like Sun Xun, and said with a smile: "Are you in the body of this rabies bug?"
"No, I'm trapped in this pile of volcanic rock. Sun Xun's voice was a little dull, probably because he was trapped in the volcanic rock.
Ling Yun hurriedly waved his hand to split the volcanic stone under his feet, and sure enough, just under the insects, a naked man with a beard was revealed, who was it not Sun Xun?
Sun Xun crawled out of the split gap with difficulty, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed: "God bless me, I met my brother, subdued this worm, rescued me, and owe you a life for my brother." ”
"General Sun, you didn't go to Shenlong Village to suppress bandits, how could you be trapped in this stone?" Ling Yun remembered the iron lion at that time and understood the general situation, but he still hoped to hear the truth from Sun Xun's mouth.
"You don't know, it seems that you are also a person of Reiki cultivators, so I will no longer hide it from you, in fact, I am a prisoner sent to this world, I have been trapped underground for tens of thousands of years, and recently because I curry favor with an executive, I have become a contractor, helping him do some things in the human world that are inconvenient for him to come forward, so I can walk on the earthly world without having to endure the smoking of the flaming magma underground. Sun Xun told me that Ling Yun had heard these stories more than once, so he had already guessed them.
"Later, because I was ineffective in suppressing bandits, I was reprimanded by the executive officer, and another contractor took the opportunity to slander him behind my back, saying that I was to stay in the world for a long time, and deliberately let the tiger return to the mountain, so as not to hide the birds and hide the rabbits and dogs, alas, I should be unlucky, there is such a calamity, so when I led the army out of the south gate of Jingnan County, the contractor had already sent two earth worms to wait for me outside the city, one defeated me, and the other dug a hole, and took me and the earth worm into hell together. Sun Xun recalled that moment, his stomach was full of indignation, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"In hell, I was tortured, two earth worms fought in order to absorb my aura, one of them won by luck, but the vitality was greatly injured, and he couldn't swallow me for the time being, so he had to hollow out my body, leaving only a weak aura, as its possession, and being humiliated by it. Sun Xun finished telling the previous story, and after the Flame Earth Worm met Ling Yun, those things Ling Yun already knew, so he didn't repeat it.
After hearing this, Ling Yun suddenly realized, and said, "No wonder I wonder why this earth worm is attached to an iron lion, it turns out that it is your body." ”
"That's right. Sun Xun was weak, and every time he said a word, he needed to take a breath, and after speaking for such a long time in a row, he was already tired and sweaty, which was completely different from the original strong man.
Ling Yun wondered, "Then why did this earth worm stop me, could it be that it was also instructed by the contractor?"
"Pretty much I was attached to it and was in a daze, unconscious, and I didn't know anything about it until I was trapped in the volcanic rock and separated from it. Sun Xun said.
"In that case, you should rest well and wait until you are fully recovered. Ling Yun persuaded him to return to Jingnan County and recuperate for a while, but he didn't expect Sun Xun to refuse.
"I can't rest, I can't be without a commander in the army for a day, I don't know how long I've been trapped by it, let alone ten days and a half a month, now the three armies are afraid that they will be chaotic, I must go back to preside over military affairs, even if Adjutant Huang Qi is here, and Ayina can pretend to be me, stabilize the morale of the army, and it can't be delayed for too long, once the stuffing is revealed, I'm afraid the opponent will immediately take over, I have no soldiers and no generals, and I have become a useless person, I'm afraid I will be abandoned and go back to hell." Sun Xun said worriedly, looking at the dark south, his eyes full of reluctance.
"I'll send you there, you're so weak, I'm afraid you won't be able to support yourself, and you will fall down before you reach Shenlong Village. Ling Yun picked up Sun Xun and said with concern.
Sun Xun smiled slightly, and said: "No need for Brother Xian, you must also have something important, this is not a one-day affair to go to Shenlong Village, you don't have to accompany me, I have an aura body, what's so scary, you just need to help me find a piece of clothing." ”
Seeing that he didn't have a trace of his whole body, the two of them looked embarrassed, and they both smiled.
Ling Yun took off his robe, draped it on Sun Xun, and said, "You put it on first, there are thousands of taels of silver tickets in the robe for the general's use, and I will find you a piece of clothing." ”
Sun Xun tied his robe and waved his hand: "No need, Brother Xian, this dress is enough, I will wear it, and I will buy another lining when I meet a shop on the road." ”
Sun Xun tidied up his clothes and was about to say goodbye, when Ling Yun said, "Then what to do with this bug?"
"Let me eat it to regain my energy. Sun Xun bent down and picked up the flickering phosphorescent insect, ignored the insect's barking, tore it in two at once, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach when he saw him swallowing the worm, which was as natural as eating meat, especially when the worm was bitten off by his teeth and made no sound, a black juice burst out, which stinked inward.
After eating, Sun Xun's face changed slightly, frowned, wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and said: "The taste is really unpalatable, fortunately, it is not the first time to eat it, it is very beneficial to restore energy, and it is acceptable." ”
"General Sun, did you know that I was also an aura?" asked Ling Yun.
"I know, but I can't figure out your level, because there are three purple lights on your head, but your skill is far beyond mine, and you won't be just a virtuous body. Now, I just saw you splitting stones, and the purple light on your head has disappeared, you should have reached the realm of the immortal body, congratulations! It is precisely because of this that brother, I have the cheekiness to eat this great tonic" Sun Xun said with a smile.
"This is a great tonic, let me eat it, and I won't eat it. Ling Yun saw that his teeth were as black as ink, and he didn't have the idea of touching the worm at all.
