Chapter XXII. Soul Eater

Main room.

A meter above the ground, a thick and viscous white mist floated, flowing like a living thing, gradually turning from milky white to light red........

Seeing that everyone was fighting with each other as if they were being manipulated, and every time one fell to the ground, it would attract countless bites, and in just a moment, he had eaten his body to the point that there was no scum left, and the young man in gray couldn't suppress his horror and retreated...... I'm afraid that the next one will be my turn, but where can I hide? Soon, the gray-clothed boy also lost consciousness like everyone else.

The fog also changed from light red to dark red.......

The screams were accompanied by the sound of crumbling chews, which was creepy in the dark environment.

At the same time, Cheng Yubai and his entourage also went outside the main room.

The white-clothed monk solemnly looked at the crimson mist emitted from the main chamber, frowned, and suddenly said, "You can't go any further."

How could there be a Soul Eater here, could it.......

The white-clothed monk carefully probed around, and found three golden wires of copper on the east and west sides of the stone gate, and sure enough, someone also saw itβ€”the Soul Returning Array.

That person was probably originally trying to use the local qi to suppress it, but his cultivation was insufficient, so he didn't suppress it, and the six golden wires of copper were originally as strong as King Kong, but now they are all brittle iron.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes, I don't know who is buried here? And who put the Soul Eater? It is true that the Worm King can be used to return to the soul, but the pain of this Soul Eater and the pain of the original owner's Dragon Flame Burning Soul are not too much, if the soul of the tomb master is not strong and cannot bear it, before the Soul Eater produces the Worm King, the soul will be devoured by the Soul Eater Worm, and then there will be no chance to enter reincarnation.

"That friend of yours is in there?"

"Yes, he ......."

Gu Xi looked at the white monk's solemn expression, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and the white monk's words also confirmed his guess.

"I'm afraid he won't survive, it's too late, it's a soul eater, residing in the human body, biting each other, only the last one is left to become the nourishment of the insect king, residing in that person's heart, when those mist turns crimson, it means that the insect king has grown."

..................................................

Inside the door.

The red mist suddenly turned crimson, like blood, Zhang Ming only felt empty in his heart, and then there was a pain in his bones, which rushed straight to his head, he roared, covered his head, and rolled up in pain.

In a trance, he fell into endless darkness, and in a field full of dry bones, countless people came out, shouting and pleading at him, and black clouds poured in. I couldn't breathe, it was so uncomfortable.

In his half-awake consciousness, he only dimly knew that the world was going to be dark from now on, and the wild and dry land was about to gradually turn into a swamp with water, and the movement of his feet was about to become unfree for a moment, but he had no intention of changing the direction, and still walked towards the dark sky step by step......

.......................................

"Gu Xi! What are you going to do! β€œ

"I heard Zhang Ming's voice, he's not dead yet, I'm going to save him! Don't stop me! Gu Xi pushed Cheng Yubai like crazy, but how could an ordinary teenager push Cheng Yubai, who was already in the foundation building period.

Cheng Yubai stood in front of him and didn't let go: "The red mist hasn't cleared yet, if you go, you will be sent to death!" Didn't you say you had your mother to take care of, and you forgot about it! β€œ

"I have my mother waiting for me, and he also has Po waiting for him! I regretted that I left him because I was timid and afraid of things, and I didn't insist on taking him with me...... I didn't find the exit, and I went around again, probably by providence. So, don't want to regret it anymore! Cheng Yubai, do you regret it?! If you had the opportunity to make amends, wouldn't you try your best to make amends!! β€œ

Cheng Yubai was stunned by Gu Xi's question, pursed his lips, and glanced at the anxious Gu Xi complicatedly, of course he did.

"Let's go."

"Thank you." Gu Xi gratefully thanked the white-clothed monk who pulled Cheng Yubai, who was stunned, to the side.

The white-clothed monk bowed slightly towards the straw sandals.

"Why?" Cheng Yubai looked at the straw sandals boy who was anxiously rushing into the red mist, and looked back at the white-clothed monk with an indifferent face in disbelief.

"Can you stop it? His legs grow on his own body, and as he said, if he doesn't go, he will be at peace for the rest of his life. The white-clothed monk looked at the main room with deep eyes, shook his head, and explained: "The insect king has grown up, so those red mist has no effect on people, he will be fine, let's go in too."

.......................................

As soon as Cheng Yubai entered the main room, he was taken aback, the surrounding furnishings could not be more neat, as if there were living people, and they were regularly tidied up, but the existence of the jade pavilion in the middle broke this illusion, and in the dim light illuminated by the night pearls around, there was a kind of eerie wet dark green.

Cheng Yubai didn't dare to take a second look.

However, the cat was very interested in the jade pavilion, if it wasn't for Cheng Yubai to stop it in time, the cat might have climbed up the jade pavilion.

"Brother Gu Xi!" The cat looked left and right, and finally found the target, and excitedly pointed to Gu Xi in the corner and said to Li Mu and Cheng Yubai, "I found him!" β€œ

Only then did Cheng Yubai notice that Gu Xi, who had come in early, was sitting in the corner of the wall with his head hanging his head and couldn't see clearly, while there was a gray-clothed young man lying in his arms, and there was a ring spell array under the gray-clothed young man. The ring array is scarlet, round and irregular, it seems to be made with blood as a medium, drawn by hand, and it is also wet and exuding a fishy smell, and some twisted and crazy incantations are painted in the array, which have been erased a little by his body, and the graphics and words are eerie.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes, and the Spirit Formation was introduced, this Gu Xi was not as simple as it seemed, what did he want to do?

This formation is well drawn, look at this formation, there are some shapes, but an ordinary country boy will come into contact with this?

Something wasn't quite right, and Li Mu, who entered later, frowned secretly.

He was first attracted by the cat's shout, and his attention was all on Gu Xi, and then he looked at the jade pavilion in the middle.

That pattern, is it-the Qing Hades Pavilion?

Soul Eater, Soul Returning Array, Qing Hades Pavilion...... These words are familiar.......

Gu Xi's wrist was dripping with blood, but he himself seemed to be unconscious, mechanically biting the red object in his hand.

"Gu Xi, why are you more than blood...... Cheng Yubai pulled the cat forward and said with concern.

"Uncle Shi, Brother Gu Xi doesn't seem to hear it." The cat pulled the corner of Cheng Yubai's clothes and whispered.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xi, who had been hanging his head, finally raised his eyes, he didn't have the whites of his eyes.

Cheng Yubai was horrified by this strange gaze, and when his gaze moved down, he found that a big hole had been cut in the chest of the gray-clothed young man, and the placket was covered, which he had not discovered before.

"Gu Xi" left the wisps of blood on his lips, and licked the corners of his lips: "There are friends from afar, I actually neglected before-you, or?"

"Gu Xi" tilted his head and asked, holding the half-eaten red object in his hand in the palm of his hand and handing it to them, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

Cheng Yubai seemed to be bewitched, stretched out a hand, and caught it.

"Gu Xi" watched with satisfaction as Cheng Yubai sent the red object into his mouth, his eyes flashed, and the smile on his mouth widened: "Yes, that's it, bite into it...... Good boy ......."

At the same time, Li Mu, who was deep in thought, suddenly reacted, damn it, it wasn't Gu Xi at all!

A shroud wind knocked the heart in Cheng Yubai's hand aside, allowing it to roll down a few times and be stained with dust.

"Cheng Yubai, retreat !!"

Cheng Yubai came to his senses, was shocked, and pulled the cat to turn around and run.

"Toast without eating and drinking, it's good! Jie Ji, a chaotic body, a Xuanyin body, don't even think about escaping, just stay and sacrifice to the deity! β€œ

Suddenly, the yin wind was blowing, spinning rapidly, and the green coffin was wide open, revealing a bottomless abyss, several vine-like black rays, and snakes swimming out of the coffin.

No, it's too slow, his body is still a little bean ding, the cat is smaller than him, and his legs can't sprint. But turn around and fight? The talisman had been used up in the last battle with the Sea Beast and had not been replenished. It is useful to cut with a sword, but there are too many of them to cut down.

"Little Uncle ....... Uncle Junior, run by yourself, cat....... I can't run....... Cat, isn't it about to meet Master? β€œ

"Nonsense!" Cheng Yubai picked up the cat and ran, but with an extra weight, Cheng Yubai, who was already physically exhausted, ran even slower.

The black light violently wrapped around Cheng Yubai's feet, dragging him towards the Qing Ming coffin.

"Uncle Junior!" The cat let out an exclamation.

At the moment when Cheng Yubai was entangled in the black light, he threw the cat out with force, and then the cat was taken over by a soft force.

"Brother Kunwu, Uncle Xiaoshi, he's about to be dragged into the coffin......."

Li Mu nodded: "It's okay, leave it to me."

With a flick of his fingers, the white light flashed, and the black light sizzled, dissolving in a moment, as if it had met a nemesis.

Cheng Yubai turned over, staggered to the ground, his face was pale, this black light would even attract people to cultivate, and in just a few seconds, he fell from the foundation building period to the seventh stage of qi training.

"Huh? It's kind of interesting, Sword Spirit, no, it's just a remnant soul. You look familiar, have we seen that before? β€œ

"Gu Xi" looked at the white-clothed monk, and for a while he couldn't see his depth, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he simply talked to him slowly, hoping to trick him into some details.
