Chapter 393: Centipedes and Poisoning
In the eyes of the elite children of the big families such as Feng Ling, Dong Tianle, and Han Yu, the refining realm may only be regarded as commonplace. But in the land of Shenzhou, a martial artist in the realm of refining can already be regarded as a real good hand even if he has just entered the refining technique, which can be seen from the Su family, which has five thousand private soldiers and more than 100,000 people.
The Su family, which can only be regarded as an ordinary small family in the Dali Dynasty, is definitely a great wealthy family if it is placed on the earth, but there is not even a single person in the refining realm in their entire family, so it can be seen that the status of the people in the refining realm in the Dali realm is not low.
In the wilderness, Xiao Sha, who was moving at a fast speed, walked on the ground, one step at a time, a hundred feet in the blink of an eye, and didn't care about the shocking world at all, and directly followed the official road taken by Ning Caichen to jump over the mountain and cross the river and chase all the way, but half a pillar of incense was useless and chased twelve or thirteen miles.
If this distance was originally expected, Ning Caichen's movements could have been included in the range of his ears, but when he rushed out so far, he found that there was still no sound of horses' hooves in all directions.
Obviously, this is Ning Caichen speeding up again!
Concerned about Ning Caichen's comfort, he slowed down a little and listened carefully to the movements around him, and continued to walk quickly along the official road, even if he occasionally met pedestrians on the road, in addition to feeling a gust of wind blowing, at most he could see some afterimage.
His skills have progressed to this point, and his own strength may still have a certain gap compared to Dong Tianle, but in terms of speed, he is already on par with the fat man who is now close to 400 catties and 200 kilograms.
After a short while, the sixteen or seventeen-mile journey has passed, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping on the official road ahead in the ear range has faintly reached the ears.
Perhaps because there are too many demons and monsters, the population of the ghost world is much worse than that of the earth or the Shenzhou world, and there is only a sound of horses' hooves on such a long section of the official road at this time, and the direction of its forward movement is the direction of Guo Beizhen, and there is no doubt that it is Ning Caichen from the distance.
Listening to the voice, Xiao Sha's heart was relieved, and he immediately sped up, worried that the centipede spirit would appear at any time, he hated to immediately grow a pair of wings and fly directly over.
Of course, at his current rate, the effect of growing wings is not very great!
However, when he accelerated for a mile, when he occasionally saw an old and dilapidated house on the side of the official road, his rapid footsteps immediately stopped abruptly!
This is a building built on the side of the official road that has been covered with cobwebs, very dilapidated and decayed, and looks a little old, judging from the style and remnants of the layout, it seems that it used to be an inn or something.
It is not surprising that such dilapidated houses are common in this world, and even in the world of China, but what makes people feel chills in their hearts is...... In the dilapidated pergola at the head of the house, there were five or six corpses lying on the ground, and centipedes crawling in and out of the rotting corpses.
The corpses, male and female, dusty, and decomposed, were so decomprehensible that they were all dead in fear.
Some of them were lying on the ground crawling, some were leaning against the tattered and collapsed tables and chairs, and some were still crying for help and shouting, but sixty or seventy percent of their bodies had broken one big hole after another, and centipedes were constantly crawling in and out of them, carrying corrosive liquids.
In mid-air, in addition to the sour smell of rotting corpses, there are bursts of miasma that can make people dizzy, if it weren't for the superb internal strength and the open terrain around it, it would definitely be a dead place!
The dead bodies were not surprising, but what surprised Xiao Sha was the centipedes on and around these dead bodies!
The centipedes here are not one or two, but ...... A bunch, or just a bunch!
In the rotting burrows on several corpses, among the corpses that looked like ant nests, one after another terrifying centipedes crawled in and out with their russet carapace and dense legs and feet. Among them, the short ones were only one or two inches, the long ones were two or three inches, and the longest three were each as long as an adult's arm, and the thickness was like a child's arm.
Once these large centipedes enter the corpse, the corpse that is entered by them will immediately squirm as if they will take a deep breath, and even in broad daylight it looks extremely terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Sha finally understood why Ning Caichen was galloping on the horse before, and normal people saw such a terrifying picture, it is estimated that even Yan Chixia and other artists who are bold have to worry for a while.
It's hard not to think about seeing such a big centipede in such a place and seeing so many centipedes!
As soon as he stopped, the centipedes, who had been lazily eating corpses and crawling around, immediately became energetic, and no matter how big or small, they crawled out of the corpses and everywhere as if they had met food, and the waves were dense and surging towards the official road.
The next moment, three clear black shadows like adult arms jumped out of thin air, and the two jumps came first with a disgusting rancid aura!
"Looking for Death"
Xiao Sha's face did not change color, he moved two zhang sideways to the side out of thin air, avoiding the three big centipedes, and with a wave of his backhand, after breaking through, the more condensed and profound true qi immediately came out of his hand and turned into a wave of qi and swept away.
Even if the true qi that is already majestic is not small even if it is not turned into sword qi, most of the centipedes on the ground are swept up and thrown up, and the little centipedes that are swept by the true qi are unbearable, and they are immediately shattered when they are caught up.
In the next moment, three russet clear figures broke through the rolled flying sand and came towards them again, the dense tentacles moving out of thin air made the scalp tingle, and the hideous face at the head position was even more clear and terrifying.
Xiao Sha, who wanted to chase Ning Caichen, didn't want to be entangled, so he quickly retreated a few feet on the ground with one foot, and raised his hand in the operation of his true qi and slashed out with a wave.
In an instant, a huge pale red knife qi that was six or seven zhang long and wide with a wide door panel slashed out horizontally, tearing the air and slashing at the centipede's body at the same time, immediately splitting it into several sections, and then volleying in the air like a long knife, the three centipedes were all broken by the knife, and after landing on the ground, they squirmed a few times and then there was no sound.
As soon as the big centipede died, the little centipedes that were still crawling out and looked a little spiritual in the remaining corpses scattered as if they had no commander and began to crawl in all directions.
Xiao Sha, who killed most of the centipedes in two moves, wanted to disperse the knife qi and left to continue chasing Ning Caichen, but when he saw these centipedes and a few corpses, his heart moved, and he waved his hand and moved again, and the knife qi that was about to be dispersed was flipped and slashed to the ground.
Boom......
The dull sound of a heavy hammer hitting the ground sounded, and the ground within a radius of several zhang suddenly shook, and in an instant, the ground cracked and three feet of earth and stones splashed!
Everywhere the knife qi passed, the sand and soil on the ground within four or five zhang were as high as an explosion, and the dust that had been impacted was overwhelmingly brushed down on several corpses along the direction of the impact of the knife qi, and in the blink of an eye, several corpses were covered and smashed along with the tattered pergola that was still standing.
It shouldn't frighten passers-by, right? I just don't know what these things have to do with centipede spirits...... So much, so big...... Is it really nearby? ’
Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Sha's true qi after doing this began to work lightly, and continued to gallop in the direction of Ning Caichen on the official road.
In the current situation, the signs of the centipede essence have become more and more obvious, and it is the right way to pull Ning Caichen back as quickly as possible to save his life!
Although according to the development of the plot, Yiye Zhiqiu, who only appeared after Ning Caichen was released from prison, has not yet appeared, and without the foreshadowing of the plot, there will undoubtedly be a less helper for the centipede essence, but Yan Chixia and Xiahou are still in Guobei Town, and they have not reduced much in terms of combat power.
However, thinking about the follow-up countermeasures, he just ran half a mile and found that his surroundings were a little wrong, and the originally bright light around him didn't know why it actually took on a little gray, and his hands and feet were also a little weak...... Even if the true qi is still running, it is in a state of weakness.
This feeling is a little familiar but different, it seems that in the enlightened world, after swallowing the poison of the boy, he and Lao Chu ...... Wait, I'm poisoned?
