Chapter 51: The Centipede Worships the Moon
Just as I was setting up the spirit attraction array, the sound of the originally bustling insects chirping was completely silent at this time. There seemed to be no sound around at all, and Old Man Xiao and I could hear each other's heartbeats.
I patted Old Man Xiao: "Shhh It's coming out. Let's wait for it to enter the formation before we deal with it! Old man Xiao nodded and didn't speak. I cautiously leaned against the stone and looked around gently.
Because the moonlight is relatively bright, and the mountain demon pupils of our mountain walking sect are relatively bright, so we can see the surroundings clearly without the help of any light source.
A slight plucking of the thatch reached my ears, and I looked in the direction from which the sound came, and the woods on the other side of the hilltop were overgrown with thatch more than a man tall. At this point, something is quickly splitting into two sides. From time to time, it shook and made a rattling sound. "Is this a wild boar? Such a big movement. But here's such a big centipede here, wild boars shouldn't dare to appear here, right? It should be the big centipede that appeared. I guessed curiously.
Sure enough, at this time, a thatch seed not far from me was split into two sides. A large, black flat head poked out of the thatch, and several long tentacles grew on either side of the large mouth under the big head, which was now wiggling slightly.
Maybe it's the big centipede that senses the smell of the living in us. So I didn't go out directly, but kept trying to observe in the thatch. Sure enough, it is something that has cultivated a demon body, and it already has a certain amount of wisdom.
The big centipede kept testing in the thatch, because the moon aura was at its most lush tonight, so it would definitely come out to absorb the aura, maybe the smell of the two of us disturbed it.
At this time, under the influence of the moon's aura, the Fire Devouring Pill in the Spirit Attracting Array had become radiant, and the aura on the Fire Devouring Pill was becoming more and more full, and the naked eye could clearly see a dark crimson light emanating from the surroundings of the Fire Devouring Pill. Because the Fire Devouring Pill is also a cultivated Inner Pill, it can absorb the aura between heaven and earth by itself.
Although the Fire Devouring Pill is extremely poisonous, it is definitely a good thing for cultivating the Demon Dao, not to mention this big centipede that has cultivated the Demon Body, I am afraid that as long as there is a little bit of Taoism, it will be deeply attracted. As long as the Fire Devouring Pill is swallowed, it is equivalent to directly increasing the cultivation by hundreds of years.
Although this big centipede has cultivated its demon body and opened its spiritual sense. But such a good Inner Dan, why don't you swallow it!
The big centipede shook its tentacles in the thatch and probed for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal, coupled with the temptation of the fire devouring pill. So it finally slowly emerged from the thatch, and came directly to the side of the Fire Devouring Pill. Roll up the Fire Devouring Pill with his tail, and then lie directly on the tallest stone in the array. Slowly erected himself, and raised the flat, ugly centipede's head high.
I saw that the centipede did not swallow the Fire Eater directly, but curled it up with its tail. Now he was standing upright on the big rock, and I could see its whole body clearly.
This large centipede is almost four meters long, and its body is full of dense feet on both sides, and the carapace on its body has taken on a black and shiny black color, which looks very shiny in the moonlight. What made me even more curious was that the back of this big centipede was actually covered with small spikes.
This centipede is really not ordinary. I saw two big bags bulging out on both sides of its back. It's as if something is going to come out of your back. I suddenly remembered what Master had said to me that when an ordinary centipede grows wings on its back after a long period of cultivation, it will become a flying centipede. 500 years long one pair of wings, 1000 years long two pairs of wings. The centipede with the most wings on record is only three pairs of wings. But this world is so big, and there are many unknown things.
The centipede in front of me is also about to grow wings, and it looks like it is about to turn into a flying centipede. It has already cultivated out the demon body, if it is allowed to cultivate for a period of time, it will already be rare in this world, and it will really not be so easy to deal with when the time comes.
I took a closer look at the big centipede, and saw that he was now counting all his body on the big stone, and he was greedily looking at the moon with his mouth wide open, as if he was absorbing the aura, and the moon's light was getting dimmer and dimmer. Not long after, several large dark clouds drifted next to the moon.
The big centipede was still greedily absorbing the aura of the moon, and did not notice all this at all, Old Man Xiao couldn't hold back his excitement, and kept making a gesture to signal us to rush out quickly.
I shook my head, it was definitely not okay to rush out now. Even if you want to rush out, you have to wait until it swallows the Fire Devouring Pill, or wait until it has almost sucked in spiritual qi before rushing out. Because only then is it at its weakest. First of all, not to mention whether it can swallow this Fire Devouring Pill or not, even if it absorbs enough spiritual energy, it will have to lie here for a while. I gently reminded Old Man Xiao not to act rashly for the time being.
After a while, the centipede, which had been standing upright on the big stone, actually began to bow to the moon, and it looked like a human was kowtowing to the moon.
Gradually, a layer of pale blue light appeared on the centipede's body, and a large puff of black smoke actually erupted from its mouth.
There seemed to be something glowing in the smoke, and I hurriedly looked closely, and the one that glowed in the black fog seemed to be a small green bead. That should be the centipede bead we're looking for! Ordinary centipede beads are red, why is this centipede bead actually green?
I hurriedly patted Old Man Xiao on the shoulder, and motioned for him to look at the little green bead as well.
The big centipede slowly sucked the bead into its mouth again, and then lowered its erect body and lay on the stone. It shook its tail again, and put out the Fire Devouring Pill that it had just rolled up, and kept gently stroking the Fire Devouring Pill with its tentacles.
My heart was anxious: Swallow! Hurry up and swallow it! Hurry up and swallow the Fire Devouring Pill!
And the big centipede seemed to know what was going on in my heart, and was just slowly playing with the Fire Devouring Pill, and was not in a hurry to swallow it.
Suddenly, I noticed that the two bulging bags on the back of the big centipede were slowly cracking. Is it about to grow wings? It must not be allowed to cultivate into a flying centipede. Thinking of this, I pulled out my bronze dagger and prepared to rush forward.
Old man Xiao hurriedly grabbed my hand, then pointed at the big centipede, and I inserted the dagger back into the sharkskin scabbard. Then look at it again.
Maybe it was because Old Man Xiao made a slight sound when he stopped me, and the big centipede stopped playing with the Fire Devouring Pill and looked at me and Old Man Xiao viciously in this direction.
