A soft glow the size of a human head appeared, and floated towards me. It swirls and dances around my body, illuminating my position. At the same time, soft clusters of light the size of a human head emerged from the darkness ahead. It was the kind of butterfly Gu worm that was released by a middle-aged Gu master in Gu Miao Village that day.

The light reflected more than a dozen figures, and it was Uncle Shan Ma Xiong and the others, who also arrived here smoothly, and no one died. The golden snake kid stood next to Uncle Mountain and smiled at me. How do you think that smile is obscene......

I walked a few quick steps to Uncle Shan's side. He was naturally relieved to see that I was still alive, and nodded and smiled at me: "Brother Jiang Ming is really not simple, haha." Can you tell us a little bit about how you did that? ”

Of course, I didn't have any reservations, so I explained in the most concise language a series of things that had just happened. When he heard that the zombies in the land of snake's bones could transform and become stronger by devouring other zombies, his face was a little solemn, and he and Ma Xiong glanced at each other, as if there was some nervousness in their eyes.

It seems that these two seniors are more advanced than I thought, and realize that there may be greater trouble.

"There are so many passages in this place, which one is the place that leads to the bones of the Naba serpent? Jiang Ming, do you have any other way to tell the difference? The cold-faced Ma Xiong said to me. I guess it was the change in my left hand just now that I found this place, and he thought that I might have some way to find the place where the bones of the snake were.

I could only shake my head: "There is no way, there is no special induction." The changes in my left hand are random and not something I can control freely. ”

At this time, Uncle Shan said: "I can vaguely sense the location of the golden flower, but I don't know if the direction where she is and the place where the bones of the Naba snake are the same place." ”

Uncle Shan said as his gaze turned to a passage. Obviously, Grandma Jinhua should be in the direction of that passage, but looking at his somewhat hesitant eyes, it is obvious that she is also engaged in a difficult ideological struggle between righteousness and personal feelings.

Is it to save Grandma Jinhua directly? Or do you want to find a way to find the bones of the Naba snake and the existence of demons? Of course...... It would be best if Grandma Jinhua and the demon existed in the same place.

Ma Xiong said lightly beside him: "Grandma Jinhua is the patriarch of Jinjiazhai, if I can sense the place of Gu Zhenren, I will definitely go to the rescue first." For our Miao family, the interests of the village are also very important. ”

I didn't expect that Maxiong, who had always seemed cold, would be so understanding at such a time. Even I can see that Uncle Shan's feelings for Grandma Jinhua are probably not so simple. But Ma Xiong positioned it in one sentence as rescuing the patriarch for the benefit of the village, which would definitely make Uncle Shan's psychological pressure a lot less.

The golden snake also persuaded beside him: "Uncle Shan, you go and save my grandma first, I can follow Ma Xiong's seniors and them in the affairs here." "This kid slammed his chest, looking like you can rest assured that I am doing something.

Uncle Shan is not the kind of person who hesitates, and when he made up his mind in his heart, he thanked Ma Xiong. Then he ordered me, the Golden Snake, and Ah Hu to stay, and he himself led the other corpse chasers to the direction where Grandma Jinhua was.

After he left, Ma Xiong fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about how to find the terrible thing in Wang Xuanfu's mouth. As if I had thought of a possible solution, I said to Ma Xiong and the other Gu magicians, "I have heard that there is a strange spirit creature in this world called the White Yin Clam. The appearance is a small gray-white toad, which breeds from damp and cold places, and especially likes yin and evil spirits. The demon and evil that the predecessors of the Donghua Emperor said existed, and the evil qi must be the heaviest. If the masters of Tiangu Miao Village have this kind of thing in their hands, you might as well give it a try. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiong frowned slightly, and said to a tall middle-aged Gu magician next to him: "Apa, you like to collect all kinds of strange Gu insect poisons the most on weekdays, have you ever heard of this thing that Jiang Ming said?" ”

The Gu magician named Apa pondered for a moment: "When I was out to practice, I did trade a strange little toad with a treacherous and cunning Han Taoist priest. He coaxed me at the time and said that it was a very rare thing, in exchange for a spring love Gu for me. Later, I found out that this toad was useless, and it consumed a lot, I don't know if it was the kind he said. ”

After speaking, he took out a small bamboo tube from under the wide layers of Miao costumes and opened it. A small gray-white toad jumped into his palm, drumming one after another, as if he was a little angry.

I hadn't seen a real white clam either, but it did look like it was written in the classics, so I let him out and try it.

So the pitiful-looking little toad was laid on the ground, and suddenly it became very agitated, and kept changing directions, looking here and there.

Seeing this situation, I felt a little relieved, this thing may be a white yin clam. Because the evil aura is everywhere here, it is a little difficult to find the north. But eventually, it chose a direction, croaked twice, and jumped in that direction.

We were overjoyed and hurried to follow this little thing. It was a passage about ten meters high, and it was not the largest at the bottom of the sinkhole, but it was not small either.

As soon as I stepped in, I suddenly felt the coldness worsen again. Originally, I felt cold when I entered this basin area before, and it was even worse inside the sinkhole. But as soon as I entered this passage, it was as if I had entered a cold ice cellar, and the temperature dropped below freezing in an instant! Between breaths, you can see white gas appearing, as if it is a cold winter wax moon.

In addition to the physical cold feeling, the strange coldness of the spiritual consciousness is even more uncomfortable. There seemed to be a lot of ghosts and ghosts in the ears who were constantly wailing in pain, which made people feel restless and very depressed.

"This place is even more evil than the grave of ten thousand corpses in our village that I entered when I was a child, it's so fucking weird! I went deep into the bottom to have this cold feeling. The golden snake kept rubbing his arms around his arms, and bursts of white gas came out of his mouth. The little zombie snake coiled around his messy hair, raising its head from time to time to look around.

I walked beside him: "Come on, you, I heard grandma say that you walked around the door of the Ten Thousand Corpse Tomb, and Xiaojin himself drilled you, you quickly grabbed it and ran away." ”

The golden snake stabbed me with his hand: "Hey, I said buddy, how can you tear down the stage in front of you?" There are also people from Tiangu Miao Village. ”

I have to say that although this guy is arrogant, after getting familiar with it, he found that he is actually quite second. So I just ignored him and carefully watched the scene around me.

The further you go, the more the temperature in front of you continues to drop, getting colder and colder! According to my experience in Harbin, this should already be minus 10 degrees. I had to use the martial arts qi and blood in my body to cover the surface of my body to resist this cold.

I saw that the golden snake was also uncomfortable, so I gently put my palm on his shoulder, expanding the scope of the martial arts qi and blood wrap a little. So that he can also be shrouded in it, and relieve it less uncomfortable. However, Xiao Jin was a little afraid, and with a whoosh, he went down his neck from the head of the golden snake into his chest and dodged......

Those Gu magicians in the Heavenly Gu Miao Village also cast various spells to relieve the bone-piercing cold. You must know that minus 10 degrees is enough to cause serious freezing injury to the human body. At this moment, the physical cold alone is already unbearable for everyone, not to mention the mental erosion.

In the extreme cold, everyone's spiritual senses began to become less acute, which was a more dangerous signal, which meant that there might not be a way to react to the changes around them.

But fortunately, for me, who spent my youth in Harbin, in fact, the cold of minus 10 degrees Celsius is not too big. I've experienced minus 40 degrees Celsius! And at that time, in order to stimulate my potential, Brother Long made me almost "naked" from the Harbin bungalow area to the street wearing only a pair of pants, and almost froze me to death!!

After running home, he immediately fell seriously ill, and only after taking a large number of precious medicinal materials prepared by Brother Long and the demon flesh and blood he had captured from the vast mountains in the northeast for several weeks did he recover slightly. However, it was also from that time that I did make a lot of progress in my cultivation of martial arts qi and blood......

Therefore, in the temperature of minus ten degrees, after the martial arts qi and blood protection was deployed, I was almost not affected in any way, but it may have made my attention more focused because of a little pressure!

I could feel that Ah Hu, the corpse chaser, and the other Gu magicians were more or less distracted to resist the cold, so their expressions and movements were a little unnatural. Only Ma Xiong still had an indifferent face, and the sharp light in his eyes was undiminished, and he was obviously not affected too much.

I guess it should be due to the help of his natal Gu. This Ma Xiong's natal Gu is also mysterious, and I haven't seen his natal Gu until now. Could it be that his natal Gu is transparent or formless? Therefore, when he cast the Gu technique, he couldn't see the appearance of his Gu worm. I was curious.

The passage was a long one, and we all walked in it for a long time, and we still didn't reach the end, and there was no change in the terrain. It's just such a straight passage, go forward. The temperature continued to drop, and even the walls of the surrounding rocky caves began to form a thin layer of transparent ice crystals! And the cold and demonic aura is also becoming more and more intense, indicating that there should be no mistake in our direction.

I have to sigh that the world is really strange, the white yin clam in front of it is still so alive in the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, there is no sign of pain, if this ordinary toad would have been frozen into ice cubes.

As soon as he thought this, suddenly the little guy stopped, his body bulged and swelled, almost swollen in a circle, and he didn't move.

Ma Xiong asked Na Appa what was going on, but before he could explain, he only heard a soft bang, and the white yin clam on the ground in front of him actually burst out and died.

What's the situation?!

Seeing the sudden and strange death of this white yin clam made my heart skip a beat, wondering if there was something evil about to come out.

"When the slick Han Taoist priest sold me this little toad, he said that although it was born from a damp and gloomy place, it likes yin and has an almost greedy desire for yin and evil spirits. But because of this, if the yin qi around it is too strong, it will burst its body because it inhales too much and is not controlled. With a wry smile on his face, Apa shook his head and explained to Asa.

I was a little stunned to hear this, but I was a little less nervous. It turned out that it wasn't some evil thing around here, but that the white yin clam was greedy for it. Absorb too much yin qi, and hold yourself alive! It's a reason to eat with people and kill yourself, it's a little crying and laughing.

Now there is no white clam to lead the way, we can only go by ourselves. But fortunately, this passage is a straight one, there is no fork in the road around, even if the white clam is dead, we can move forward on our own, and see what will appear at the end of this passage.

Will...... It's the terrible existence that Wang Xuanfu's predecessors said has been slowly eroding the corpses in Xiangxi for hundreds of years!?

Click, click.

Suddenly, I heard two crunch sounds next to me, as if a piece of wood had been trampled on.

Then I immediately heard the nervous voice of the golden snake: ", what is it?!" ”

Everyone's hearts tightened, and their eyes were focused on the golden snake. I quickly pulled him to the side, and the two of them suddenly moved several meters away to Ma Xiong's side, looking at the place he had just walked.

There was a black shadow there, as if it had broken into several pieces and lay on the ground, motionless, obviously dead.

I put the heart back in my lift, and with a wave of his hand, the man who was manipulating the glowing butterfly worm flew over, illuminating the dead thing.

It was a silver pangolin the size of an adult!!

With such a large body size, it must be a monster. It is estimated that he was buried in the ground after he died, and was attracted to this place after being infected by the existence of the evil and terrifying. And looking at its shining silver appearance, it is definitely not a mortal thing, and it is estimated that it is a relatively powerful existence among monsters. It's just that now he is completely dead here, and he was trampled into a few pieces by the golden snake just now, making a clicking sound.

That's not right! A monster of this level, even if it is dead, it is difficult for the body to decay, how can it be trampled by the golden snake at once?

When I looked at it with doubts in my heart, I found out the reason.

It turned out that this silver pangolin monster zombie was actually empty!! In other words, it only has a layer of skin on the outside, and there is nothing in the body! Even the silver armor was a little dull and tarnished......

There are quirks!

Ma Xiong asked everyone to be vigilant, and he himself walked forward with the middle-aged Gu Master named Apa himself, wanting to take a closer look at the silver pangolin that had strangely turned into an empty shell.

I saw the two of them carefully flipping through the remains of the remaining silver pangolin with their hands, carefully examining them in the bright light emitted by the butterfly worms, their expressions very serious. After about half a minute, Ma Xiong said, "I can see it...... This thing was emptied of something more domineering and terrifying. It's not strange that zombies devour each other in this strange place, but what kind of being can eat its entire interior without destroying its epidermal carapace? And...... All the demonic qi and yin qi have all been lost, and there is no residue. ”

Appa didn't answer him immediately, pursed his lips and frowned in thought.

Only then did I realize that the silver pangolin should have been intact in appearance, but it was crushed by the reckless guy Golden Snake, and it became the broken form we see now. And what's even stranger is that this silver pangolin doesn't even have a bit of demonic energy and yin energy!

Perhaps this can explain why the Golden Snake and we don't feel its existence at all, because without the demon energy and yin energy, this thing is essentially no different from a stone in this place, and naturally it will not be felt.

But here's the problem...... It's so abnormal. Whether it is a monster or a zombie that a monster becomes after death, as long as there are still limbs left, there will definitely be demonic or yin energy. Even if it's very thin and faint, but there will definitely be. The silver pangolin in front of him was not left at all.

Then there's only one possibility!

It's something terrible that we don't know, not only eats and devours this silver pangolin, but even absorbs its demonic and yin qi cleanly, and there is nothing left!!

Will...... Is it what Wang Xuanfu's predecessors said?!

I was nervous and expectant, but soon, Apa's words made me realize that I was wrong.

He looked at Ma Xiong with a very serious expression and said, "Boss, you should have heard of some legends circulating among our Gu seedlings. Concerning...... Some strange Gu worms that only I've heard of but have never seen before. The situation of this silver pangolin is very similar to the description of one of the strange Gu worms. ”

Ma Xiong's indifferent face changed slightly, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes: "Do you mean...... Nine turns of the chilling cicada? This kind of Gu worm, does it really exist in reality? ”

Appa replied, "I can't guarantee that it exists in reality, but the situation of this silver pangolin is very similar to the legendary appearance of the Nine Turning Chill Cicada devouring nearby monsters every time it wakes up. And...... If it is really a nine-turn chilling cicada, it can also explain why the cold air in this passage is so heavy, even causing the surrounding rock walls to freeze. Because it's the coldest thing in the world! ”

At this moment, the Gu magicians next to us also seemed to be very surprised, they had always been relatively taciturn, and they actually began to whisper to each other, as if they were discussing this thing called the Nine Turns Chilling Cicada, and I said that I was very stressed, because I had never even heard of this name.

The golden snake opened its mouth wide and suddenly said, "Oops! It turned out to be the chilling cicada Gu worm. No wonder this hellish place is so cold! That's not a joke......"

As soon as I heard it, I thought to myself, even the golden snake, a guy who doesn't know how to learn, knows it? Hurry up and ask him. Only then did I know that it was because Ma Xiong often came to Jinjiazhai to visit the door, and he also brought Kewei with him. The two young men were close in age and often played together. The Golden Snake also knew a lot about Gu magic from Kewei. For example, this nine-turn chilling cicada.

The cicada, also known as Zhilao, is a relatively common insect. In the cognition of ordinary people, there is a very other cicada in the biological world, called the seventeen-year-old cicada!

As the name suggests, this cicada, its life cycle is seventeen years. Normally, the cicada sleeps deep underground for 17 years before emerging from the ground, molting on its branches, and mating. The male dies immediately after mating, and the female dies after laying eggs. And their larvae continue the seventeen-year "reincarnation".

Scientists explain that this peculiar way of life of the seventeen-year-old cicada has evolved a long and hidden life cycle in order to avoid natural predators and safely continue the population.

And the strange Gu worm called the Nine Turns Cold Cicada that circulated among this Gu magician was somewhat similar to the Seventeen-Year Cicada that ordinary people also knew. Because it has a life cycle, it is also seventeen years.

The birth of the Nine Turns Cold Cicada is very mysterious and weird. Even the most knowledgeable Gu magicians had no idea how it had appeared.

But according to legend, after the birth of the Nine Turns of the Chill Cicada, a radius of tens of meters was immediately frozen, and all animals and plants froze to death! The Nine Turns Chilling Cicada will frantically seek out monsters to devour, obtain all their flesh and demon energy, and strengthen itself. When it reaches a certain level, it will go deep into the earth, dig a cave, and sleep quietly in it.

In another seventeen years, its shell will break open on its own, and out of it will be born a new, more powerful Nine-Turn Chill Cicada. This chilling cicada has completed its first life cycle, which is called "one turn!!

Then, driven by instinct, it will reappear frantically seeking monsters to devour. When a certain level is reached, go deep underground again, repeating the previous behavior......

This cycle repeatedly, until it was reborn from its shell for the ninth time, and this chilling cicada was called the "Nine Turns Chilling Cicada"! It is an extremely terrifying and powerful existence, it is the natural king of Gu worms, and it has a natural suppression ability for ninety percent of Gu worms, and if ordinary Gu worms encounter these nine turns of cold cicadas, they can't even move.

The birth is extremely mysterious, and I don't know how many monsters can be devoured to be born, this nine-turn chilling cicada, its power can be imagined. According to legend, two thousand years ago, the founder of the Heavenly Gu Miao Village, the "Miao Jiang Gu God", was very eager to obtain a Nine Turns Cold Cicada as his natal Gu, but no one knew whether he had succeeded or not, and there was no corresponding record in the Heavenly Gu Miao Village......

After listening to the words of the golden snake, the shock in my heart cannot be overstated. I didn't expect that there would be such a strange and weird existence in this world! Even in the supernatural realm, this is probably something that ordinary warlocks can hardly imagine and touch.

This would also explain why the expressions of Ma Xiong and Appa were so solemn and incredulous, while the other Gu magicians were whispering.

I swallowed, as if asking them and as if I was saying to myself, "Do you ...... The existence of demons and evil mentioned by the predecessors of Emperor Donghua is really this nine-turn chilling cicada? Do we need to go and eradicate it? But what does it have to do with the bones of the snake and the secret records of the high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect obtained by my stepfather? ”

Ma Xiong shook his head slightly: "What we are looking for is definitely not the Nine Turns Chilling Cicada!" The Nine Turns of the Chilling Cicada does not have the ability to infect the large number of corpses in the entire Xiangxi region. What the predecessors of Emperor Donghua said was not a nine-turn chilling cicada. Merely...... The Nine Turns Chilling Cicada must have something to do with that thing, otherwise it wouldn't have been here. (To be continued.) )
