Chapter 368: Strange Insects and Accidents

The white air cannon visible to the naked eye violently crushed the circle of sound waves and bombarded the batwing monster!

The batwing monster looked frightened and hurriedly blocked the only one left in front of him.

Although one of the two bat wings was torn off by Li Qiu after only one of them, this was still the strongest part of its body.

Click!

There was a sound of bones shattering one after another like popping beans!

The batwing monster turned into an afterimage and flew upside down, crashing through several courtyards and houses along the way, dragging a deep furrow through the ground.

Geng Qi looked at the bat monster that had just shown his terrifying strength, and was blasted away by Li Qiu's punch in the air, his eyes were shocked and couldn't help himself.

"Are all the strongest martial arts supremes who specialize in horizontal cultivation so strong?"

Geng Qi was sluggish, his mouth slightly open.

Li Qiu stepped on his feet, and his figure disappeared in place.

"Senior ......"

Geng Qi's face changed drastically, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly followed.

In the moonlight, at the end of the deep ditch that ran through several courtyards, the tattered corpses of batwing monsters were gone.

"Didn't try too hard, but still died?"

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and he didn't feel any regret.

If it's a youkai who can speak, he may regret that he didn't control his power and killed it by mistake.

And although this bat-winged monster is obviously not low in intelligence, it is still far from a human.

Even if he didn't die, it would be difficult to get any useful information from him, and he would die.

Suddenly, the corpse of the batwing monster on the ground trembled imperceptibly!

A black shadow of an inch size drilled out from the heart of the bat-winged monster, turning into an afterimage and flying towards the height at a high speed.

Boom!

Li Qiu's pupils shrank, he stepped on the earth, and his figure disappeared in place.

In the next breath, he suddenly appeared dozens of feet in the air, and his two fingers were as fast as lightning, pinching towards the black shadow.

The black shadow roared unwillingly, but was still grabbed by two fingers that looked like iron tongs.

Li Qiu fell to the ground and was about to look into his hand.

The black shadow suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth, spitting out a circle of sound waves!

Li Qiu turned his head to avoid the sound waves, and a corner of the house behind him was shattered.

He squeezed it a little harder, and the black shadow let out a scream of pain, and immediately withered.

A strange-looking insect with transparent wings folded like bat wings, a head that looks very similar to a bat, and a mouthpiece like a bat, long and sharp!

Li Qiu looked at this bug, which was incomparably similar to a bat, and frowned when he thought of the dead bat monster that looked like a bat and a pig.

"It's all like bats, and this bug is coming out of the bat monster carcass......"

Just as he was thinking about the relationship between the two, he suddenly found that the tattered batwing monster corpse under his feet was intact in the heart!

He clearly remembered that this bug came out of the heart of the batwing monster, how could there be no trace.

"I'm afraid there is some kind of mysterious power involved. ”

Li Qiu guessed.

"I wonder if I'll know anything if I save that person?"

There was a rush of footsteps behind him.

He turned his head to look.

"Senior ......"

Geng Qi, who was in a hurry, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he was also shocked when he saw the strange insect in Li Qiu's hand, and then suddenly realized.

"Presumably this is what Siri said about the heart demon worm. ”

"You seem to know what this thing is?"

"Senpai, I just came up to tell you about it. ”

"This is the reason why the heart demon worm, that is, the place where this batwing monster will become a monster. ”

"It looks like this bat-winged monster, before this heart demon insect enters the body, it should be just an ordinary domestic pig. ”

"Does it mean that after this worm entered this monster's body, it changed from a normal domestic pig to this appearance?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked.

"What will happen to this worm if it gets into a person's body?"

"This ......"

"I've never heard of a demon worm running into a person's body......"

Geng Qi was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his mouth.

Apparently he didn't know the answer to that question.

Li Qiu waved his hand.

"I have a few more questions for you. ”

Geng Qi's expression was straight, and he bowed his hand respectfully.

"Senior, you saved my life from the batwing monster, I must know everything. ”

......

After a moment, Li Qiu's brows furrowed slightly.

To be honest, he didn't get much useful information out of Geng Qi's mouth.

I only know that the appearance of the heart demon insects is different, each has different abilities, after burrowing into the body of the beast, some are alienated into the body of the beast, and some are let the beast have any ability, so as to become a monster.

The monsters that are entered by the heart demon insect will be controlled by the heart demon insect from now on.

Most of the monsters live in inaccessible places such as deep mountains and old forests, and there is no intersection with humans.

Only a few of them, mainly monsters with body alienation, will attack humans.

However, not all heart demon insects will enter the beast's body.

Just like the beasts who are fierce by nature, there are also those who are gentle by nature.

The heart demon insects that do not enter the body of the beast also live in the deep mountains and old forests, and some have many intersections with humans.

However, it generally does not harm human beings, at most it will only disturb human life, such as stealing liquor, stealing copper coins and gold and silver, living in the incense burner and sucking incense, hiding on the beams of the house or where to enjoy music.

Among them, the imperial court set up a demon eradication department, whose main responsibility is to kill those demons that attack humans.

It is worth noting that, according to Geng Qi, the demons in the world, the Demon Removal Division can only deal with some of them that are relatively weak.

As for those powerful monsters, the people who exclude the demon division said that they didn't need to worry about it, and most of them would disappear spontaneously after a while.

After disappearing, that area often leaves some terrifying traces of battle, ravines everywhere, rivers break and even mountain peaks crumble!

How did those powerful monsters disappear, because Geng Qi had just joined the Demon Eradication Division not long ago, the high-level people who were not the Demon Eradication Division had no way of knowing.

Li Qiu guessed that the powerful monsters that the martial arts masters couldn't deal with must be those "immortals" in Old Man Guo's mouth.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, how did Dali invite those "immortals" to take action?

With worldly gold and silver?

He looked at the wilting strange insect in his hand, his eyes moving slightly.

Geng Qi said that the Demon Removal Division has requirements, after killing the monster, try to capture the heart demon worm alive as much as possible, and if it can't be captured alive, it must not be allowed to run away, and bring the body back to the division.

He instinctively felt that the root cause of those "immortals" was most likely on this heart demon worm with all kinds of strange abilities.

Maybe the imperial court doesn't have to pay anything at all, it just needs to provide news to those "immortals", and maybe it can earn something from those "immortals".

"Thank you for your answer, it helped me a lot. ”

Geng Qi looked at the masked senior who saved him in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he was always apprehensive.

It wasn't until Li Qiu stretched out his brows to speak that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"My predecessors saved my life, and En's grace is bigger than the sky, how can I be worthy of a thank you word from my seniors?"

It didn't happen until Geng Qi straightened up, and there was no figure in front of him, leaving only the tattered corpse of the batwing monster on the ground.

"Senpai?"

......

This time Zhaojiacun and his party, Li Qiu got a lot of information.

Although he still hasn't come into contact with the main power systems in this world, he already knows which direction to start.

For example, the imperial court, they must have had contact with those "immortals".

On the way home, the strange worm, which had been wilting for a while, seemed to have regained its energy, and its mouthparts, sharp as knives, bit hard at the fingers that were holding him.

It's a pity that Li Qiu's body is far harder than it imagined, but it almost shattered its mouthparts.

With a flick of his fingers, there was a bang in the air, and a small wave of air exploded, knocking out the strange insect that looked like a bat, and casually carrying it into his arms.

After returning home, Li Qiu did not go out all day the next day, and studied the strange insects in the house until the afternoon.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Childe, the big thing is not good, the eldest son has an accident. !”

Li Qiu's face changed slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, he knocked out the strange insect in his hand, put it in a sachet and put it in his arms, and walked out.

The door was pushed open quickly, and Li Si ran in panting.

"What's going on?"

Li Qiu's brows furrowed, a touch of coldness appeared on his face, and he asked in a deep voice.

He was reincarnated, and to put it mildly, he was already a monster for hundreds of years.

It is impossible for Li Ji, who is twenty or thirty years old, to really regard him as his eldest brother, but he also treats him as a relative and does not want anything to happen to him.

"The eldest prince went to the street to buy books today, and was kidnapped by the blood wolf thieves outside the city!"

He had heard that there was a group of robbers outside the city called the Blood Wolf Thieves, and he heard that the three masters were all masters of martial arts, entrenched outside the city to occupy the mountains as kings, plundering passing caravans, and their arrogance was uncontrollable.

But this is not a big deal, the blood wolf thief kidnapped Li Ji must be seeking money.

Before he gets the money, he won't endanger Li Ji's life.

Before that, he went up the mountain, killed all the blood wolf thieves, and saved Li Ji.

Li Qiu frowned and asked.

"I remember that my eldest brother didn't go to the bookstore yesterday to buy books, why did he go again today?"

"I heard Li San say that a few books that the eldest prince liked yesterday did not arrive, so he went to the street again today. ”

"The blood wolf thief sent a letter and the eldest prince's portable jade pendant, asking for 50,000 taels in exchange for the eldest prince's life, the lord told you to go and discuss how to save the eldest prince!"

Li Si hurriedly replied.

A full fifty thousand taels, even the Li family, which is one of the richest in Yangcheng, is difficult to take out for a while, and the blood wolf thief really dares to ask for it.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

"I see. ”

In the Li family's study, Li Xiuzhi, the head of the Li family, who was of medium stature and had a Chinese face, was pacing anxiously, and when he saw Li Qiu coming, he immediately hurriedly said.

"Ping'er, your eldest brother was kidnapped by the blood wolf thief. ”

"The three masters of the blood wolf thief are all martial arts masters, and Feng Huyuan also said that they are not the opponents of the three of them, and now only you have a shot. ”

Li Qiu had long ago paved the way for going out alone to travel the world.

It's nothing more than the way he played outside when he was a child, and was seen by a passing stranger to be gifted and teach magical skills.

"Ping'er, you and your father are honest, are you sure. ”

"Although a few years ago, you showed your father your martial arts, and you can crush iron into mud, which is very powerful. ”

"But the three masters of the blood wolf thief joined forces, and Feng Huyuan, who had been practicing martial arts for decades, was not sure that he would win. ”

Li Xiuzhi looked anxious and worried.

"If you don't have all the certainty, Dad will do his best to raise money, 50,000 taels is not a big deal, and after more than ten years of hard work, you and your eldest brother and two brothers can't have an accident. ”

Li Qiu shook his head.

"Where did the notoriety of the blood wolf thieves come from? ”

"Big brother will come back safe and sound. ”

......

In the blood wolf village, in a firewood room.

Li Ji, who was tied up by five flowers, woke up slowly, and a strange sense of vicissitudes and confusion appeared in his eyes.

It took him a long time before he seemed to realize something.

"Li Ji?"

"It's been so many years, I'm finally back!"
