Chapter 32: The Sea of Death
Tonggu looked down, and saw that in the same position, Su Yuan also fell into the swamp. Tonggu was speechless, so he had to continue to save people.
After dragging the man up the tree, he said, "Go back quickly, and don't follow me anymore." "These two bottles of oil will only weigh on her.
"No, I'm acting on orders, and I'm sworn to protect the girl's safety." Qian Yu has never failed to complete the task, he is a person with strong beliefs, and he will never back down if he does not complete the task.
"I'm not leaving, you're here for my people, how can I let you be alone." Su Yuan was equally resolute.
"But you will only be a burden to me here, and it will be convenient for me to move alone." Tonggu looked at the two helplessly.
Both of them were silent, just staring at Tonggu, but their eyes were full of unwaveringness.
Tonggu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to compromise. "Okay, you can follow me, but everything must be listened to me. Can you say yes? ”
The two nodded like rattles.
Tonggu took the two of them to shuttle through the trees, but fortunately, both of them could do light work, and it didn't take much effort. After leaving the miasma area, Tonggu took off his gas mask and took a big breath of fresh air from the forest. Qian Yu and Su Yuan saw Tonggu take off their masks, and they also took off their masks in the same way as Tonggu.
"We're still on the edge, and it's estimated that it will take a day to get to the center, and I haven't found the bones yet, and it should be almost there when I see the bones." Tongya said nonchalantly.
"What's the matter with my people's illness?" Su Yuan asked questions.
"Zombie spores are a type of fungus that grows in the pit of corpses, resembling spider silk, and moves and spreads by wind, water, animals, and insects. The scary thing about it is that there are many ways to spread it, for example, if you drink water with this zombie spor, then this zombie spores will slowly grow in the body. When the zombie spores mature, the brain manipulates the parasitic body to return to the place where it was originally born, and the host continues to feed the mother strain as a nutrient for the soil. And the human corpse is the favorite food of the parent strain, and if you eat too much, you can become a demon. Tonggu told the two of them what happened.
Su Yuan looked at Tonggu with a frightened face and said, "You mean, we're going to fight youkai?" Can you not say such horrible things so calmly? ”
Qian Yu's face also began to turn pale, but as the only man in the team, he had to hold on and pretend to be strong. "Don't be afraid, if you encounter danger, after helping you to break off, you will run first."
Tonggu sneered and said: "Don't make it look like you're going to die, even if it's a demon, it's just an ordinary little demon, I'll take Yuji with me." Tsuya gestured to the fluffy kitten next to him.
Qian Yu and Su Yuan realized that there was a black-footed little white cat next to Tonggu at this time, but the two didn't understand what a kitten could do.
"Cats are cute, but what can such a little white ball do?" Su Yuan asked puzzled.
"You know when you're in danger. We've had enough rest, so let's hurry. Tsuya got up and walked towards the depths of the Sea of Death.
The three of them saw scattered white bones through a cloud of mist, covered with zombie spores like spider silk, and the transparent silk threads glowed with a faint blue light when they converged in one place. Tonggu asked Qian Yu and Su Yuan to put on their gas masks and follow him.
As the three of them continued to go deeper, the number of white bones increased, and finally they saw a small hill made of white bones and stopped in their tracks.
"This is the pit of ten thousand corpses, don't move here, I'll go and see it first." Tonggu pointed to the bone pile.
"I'll go with you below." Qian Yu put on a posture to go together.
Tonggu stopped them and said, "You are here to receive me." With that, Tonggu walked towards the bone pile.
Tonggu rummaged in the pile of bones for a long time, and his expression became more and more ugly. After Qian Yu and Su Yuan, who were on the side, saw Tonggu's appearance, they couldn't help but start a cold sweat, and when the yin wind blew, they mixed up and hit a spirit.
After rummaging to no avail, Tonggu returned to the position of the two, and said with a deep sigh: "The worst result has happened, the mother strain has turned into a demon, so let's prepare to fight." ”
"Tonggu, I beg you, can you not talk about such a terrible thing so plainly in the future? It's even more scary. Su Yuan complained on the side, but his hand had already reached into the Gu worm bag.
Qian Yu became vigilant, holding a sword in his hand, and began to observe the movements around him.
The body of the fish gradually became the size of a horse, and its claws clung hard to the ground, ready to fight. "Girl, I'm ready."
Su Yuan and Qian Yu were startled by Yuji, Su Yuan's legs began to tremble, and a pair of frightened apricot eyes stared at Tonggu. Suddenly, Su Yuan's body lightened, and the whole person took off. I saw a monster covered in salmon red, with slender limbs, sarcoma, wide mouth, and squinted eyes, clutching Su Yuan and hanging in the air. The monster twisted its body violently, and with a force of its arm, it threw Su Yuan out fiercely, and the speed was extremely fast.
Su Yuan's heart was already a dead ash, and he thought to himself, maybe this is the end of his life. However, it's okay to end it like this, and I don't have to continue to hold on. A line of tears flowed down his eyes, but there was a bitter smile on his lips. Just when he was desperate, Su Yuan's body was held in his arms, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Tonggu. Tonggu protected Su Yuan with his arm, put his body under Su Yuan's body, and his back fell to the ground suddenly, his throat was fishy and sweet, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Su Yuan's cheek, and then the skin and flesh turned over under the violent friction behind his back. Tonggu could clearly feel that his vertebrae were misaligned, but fortunately, his body was strengthened, and his bones were not broken.
After settling down, Tonggu pushed Su Yuan away and shouted at Yuji. "According to the original plan." Tsuya concentrates all his strength on his limbs, catching up with monsters at great speed and locking them in his movements. "Yuji, quickly use the red lotus karma fire."
Yuji spewed out scarlet demon fire from his mouth, and the flames quickly spread and burned directly to the monster's body. Tongya immediately evacuated and extinguished the fire on his face and body. The monster burned until it turned to ashes.
Su Yuan ran to Tonggu, hugged the scarred Tonggu into his arms, cried and shook Tonggu and shouted, "Tonggu, are you okay?" It's all my fault, I hurt you. ”
Tonggu used his last strength to push Su Yuan away and said, "It was nothing, but I was almost shaken to death by you." ”
Qian Yu and Su Yuan saw that Tonggu still had the strength to joke, and their hearts couldn't help but relax a lot. Tonggu's consumption is too great, and his body is seriously damaged, so it's too late to avoid it. Directly reached into his arms, took out muscle hormone from the space, and a bunch of food. Tsuya pricked the needle into his buttocks and pushed the medicine all the way through his body. Then he beckoned everyone and said, "Come and eat something, there are roast duck, roast chicken, pork knuckle, braised beef, and roast mutton." Everyone's hungry, right? ”
Yuji has long been accustomed to the way Tonggu digs things, but Qian Yu and Su Yuan are indeed the first time they have seen each other, and they are both dumbfounded. Su Yuan secretly looked at Tonggu Lihuai and asked, "What are you made of this dress?" How can you fit so many things? ”
Tonggu and Yuji only cared about eating, and no one answered Su Yuan. Su Yuan had no choice but to stare at Tonggu while eating. After everyone had a full meal, Yuji burned the surrounding zombie spores with red lotus karma fire.
"The source is cleaned, and all that remains is to clean up the mycelium stored in the human body." Tongya said to Su Yuan.
"What's burning in the body? Didn't they all burn to death? Su Yuan looked at Tonggu in horror.
Tonggu snorted and laughed, walked up to Su Yuan's side and said, "Why are the things in your mind so terrifying?" People naturally can't burn it, the zombie spores here are all blue corpse spores, this kind of spores are the best to remove among the zombie spores, just take the poison avoidance pill orally. ”
Su Yuan sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, then let's go back quickly." ”
Tonggu looked at Yuji and said, "Lead the way, let's go back." ”
"You let the cat lead the way?" Su Yuan began a new round of questioning.
Yuji said impatiently: "She is road blind, and she has been following me since she came in, so follow quickly." ”
Tonggu smiled bitterly and said, "Can you save me some face." ”
Three people and one cat, rushed to the city together, and went smoothly under the leadership of Yuji. After entering the city, everyone washed up and rested, and when the night was over, Awato held a banquet for Tsugu. There are twelve caves and twelve witches at the banquet, and there is only one man among the twelve witches, which can be described as very eye-catching. The man's skin was pale, and very blood-colored, his body was thin and bony, and his appearance was indeed very pretty. Three thousand strands of hair glowed with a faint glow of blue lotus under the candlelight at night, and the chest could be faintly seen in a loose coat on his body, although the whole person was weird but also a little crazy.
Tonggu leaned into Su Yuan's ear and asked, "Why is there only one man in the Twelve Witches?" ”
"Nanqiong Kingdom respects women, and the previous cave masters are women, but this generation of cave heaven clan has produced a genius with high witchcraft, that is, the thin and chopstick-like twelfth witch below, his name is Ji Ke Sogdian, and I am the same generation. Don't look at him like a ghost, his witchcraft is the most brilliant in us, but his brain is a little not very good, and he chatters all day long. Su Yuan introduced Tonggu with a look of disgust.
"He's a Cave Celestial Clan? Do you know that there is a person in the Dongtian Clan named Qi Ke Qimeng? Tonggu remembered the biological mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Chen, and Tonggu wanted to know the true identity of Concubine Chen.
"Of course I do, she's a witch. The status of our great witch is second only to that of the king, and her status is extremely noble. In order to let Nanqiong establish diplomatic relations with Yu, she married the emperor of Yu when I was very young. I heard that the sixth prince died in childbirth. Su Yuan told Tonggu what he knew.
Tonggu then asked, "Then now the four princes still have power in the Nanqiong Kingdom?" ”
"What power can he have? Although he is the descendant of the Great Witch, he is a man after all. What's more, he doesn't know witchcraft. Su Yuan said with a smile.
"He knows witchcraft, and I saw a voodoo mark on his neck." Tonggu was a little surprised by Su Yuan's answer, she didn't expect the fourth prince to hide what he wanted.
"Is the Great Witch crazy? How can witchcraft be passed on to people with foreign surnames? At some point, Sogdian came over and suddenly burst out of nowhere.
