During this time, under the guidance of Pei Lian, the imperial court also did a lot of things against demon insects, one of which was to build a watchtower every ten miles next to the official road.

The watchtower is to detect the traces of the magic insects, and the second is to exist as a landmark, so as to indicate the direction and distance for the patrol team patrolling the sky.

If we take XX Mountain and XX Lake as a reference, the scope is too wide.

Finally, the watchtower also serves as a strategic base for the future, as well as a shelter for those who do not have time to enter the city.

A few minutes later, Xue Wu arrived at the destination with the Five Elements Bead, and her divine sense swept around and found a fresh hole, and there was still residual demonic qi around the hole, which must have been left by the earthworm-like demon insect.

She also burrowed into the ground, chasing down the hole where the demon worm crawled.

Halfway through the chase, a corpse was found, a skeleton to be exact, the skeleton was very clean, there was not a trace of flesh and blood, but judging from the bones, this person had just died!

There is a trace of demonic energy left on the skeleton, and it is certain that this person was eaten by that demonic worm!

It had only been so long that a man had died, and he had to catch it as soon as possible, catch him, and if he couldn't catch it alive, he would have to kill him.

Xue Wu sped up, and a few seconds later, she heard a scream.

When she arrived, she saw a demon worm dragging a woman to the ground, and the woman desperately clung to a tree, shouting for help!

Xue Wu came out of the Five Elements Bead, and the snowflake knife in her hand shot out, directly cutting off the part of the demon insect that was enveloping the woman.

The demon insect immediately burrowed into the soil, and Xue Wu was afraid that it would run away, so she didn't bother to look at the woman, and chased after the demon worm.

The demon insect drilled into the depths one by one, if it was an ordinary person, it should be helpless at this time, but Xue Wu was relieved, it was more convenient for her to solve it by drilling into the ground.

The demon insect is in the soil, just like a fish swimming in the water, completely unhindered, but Xue Wu can also be unimpeded in the soil, she holds the Five Elements Bead in one hand, runs the spiritual power to the feet, and quickly travels through the soil.

At the same time, she also released the pangolin. The pangolin can even wear mountains, let alone through the soil, but not so fast.

"Xiaoshan, I'll go around in front of it, stop it after you break it, don't let it run."

Pangolin: "Good master! ”

In the soil, there are roads in all directions, even if Xue Wu runs in front of the demon insect, it can change directions and continue to run as soon as it turns around, and it is like a loach and does not leave its hands.

Xue Wu was not in a hurry, planted a formation flag in the same place, continued to chase in the other direction, and when she ran in front of it again, she planted another formation flag.

After the formation flags were planted on the up, down, left, right, front and back, she snapped her fingers and hit it, the formation was activated, and the six flags united to form a closed space!

The demon worm was trapped in the formation and could no longer escape.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xue Wu touched the head of the mountain beast, rewarded it with a spirit beast pill, and put it into the space.

Just now she cooperated with the pangolin to chase the demon worm, deliberately driving it in the direction she set, no, the demon worm fell into her trap.

As soon as Xue Wu's five fingers closed, the six array flags also converged in the middle, constantly compressing the hiding space of the demon insects, until in the end, a huge demon insect was squeezed into a ball, and she beckoned to collect the demon insects and the array flags into the space.

Back on the ground, the woman was no longer under the tree, a demon worm was lying there, and a swarm of ants were climbing up and down in a circle.

Xue put away the worms.

I don't know if the woman left on her own or if she was taken away.

If it is the former, it means that she is not too seriously injured, at least she can walk on her own, if it is the latter, then the situation is estimated to be critical.

Xue Wu looked around and found that a young man a few miles away was walking briskly between the ridges with the woman on his back.

She rushed over and stood in front of the boy, "Wait! ”

The boy stopped, and was amazed by her beauty for a moment when he saw her, but then became vigilant, "Who are you?" ”

Xue said: "I'm a demon hunter of the Demon Hunting Guild, and I took the task to catch a demon worm, and when I arrived, I happened to see her caught by the demon worm——"

She pointed to the unconscious woman behind the young man, "She should be your mother, right?" I didn't have time to see how she was doing after I rescued her, so I chased after the demon worm. I have caught the demon worm just now, and I am a little worried about your mother's situation, so I will come and take a look. ”

Hearing this, the young man's expression relaxed, "Thank you for saving my mother, my mother and she fainted, and I was about to take her to see a doctor." ”

Xue Wu: "I'll take a look." ”

She learned medical skills from Master Wuhuan, although she was far from being proficient, but it was no problem to see some minor injuries and illnesses.

The young man hurriedly put down the woman on his back, and Xue Yu stepped forward to check her pulse, and found that a trace of demonic energy had invaded her body, and her sternum was also fractured, probably strangled by demon insects.

She injected a wisp of spiritual power into her body, dissolved that trace of demonic energy, and helped her straighten her bones, "Okay, your mother is no big deal, take her back and let her cultivate for a while, it's fine." ”

The boy knelt down directly at her, "Thank you—"

Xue Wu hurriedly helped him up, "It's just a gesture, go back." ”

She mastered the light body technique, and disappeared in a few vertical leaps.

The boy withdrew his gaze a little wistfully, and picked up his mother again and went home.

Back in the guild, Xue Wu saw that the number of people outside had not decreased, but had increased.

She turned around and entered through the back door.

"Sister-in-law." As soon as he bypassed the rockery, Pei Lin strode head-on, and when he walked in front of her, he grabbed her shoulder and looked her up and down, and found that she was not injured, so he was relieved.

Xue Yu threw herself forward, handed over all her body weight to him, and asked with a smile on her face, "Worried about me?" ”

Pei Lin hugged her and said solemnly: "Next time a demon insect appears, you can't go alone, remember?" ”

Xue Wu's eyes flashed, and she deliberately teased him: "What if I can't remember?" ”

Pei Lian's eyes sank, and the aura around her became dangerous, Xue Wu was about to run, but where could she run?

He hugged her and turned around, pushed her against the rockery, lowered his head and bit her lower lip, but he bit but was reluctant to exert himself, so he swallowed it heavily, "Sister-in-law again, huh?" ”

Xue Wu begged for mercy: "Okay, I'll just remember it, I promise to call you next time, okay...... Hmmm......"

The last word has been swept into his lips and tongue.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching here, Xue Wu panicked, and pinched Pei Lian's waist, "Someone is coming......

Pei Lin kept taking her to the cave to hide.
