243, Yin Demon Corpse Worm
When he learned the news from Zhang Fang's mouth, Chu He naturally wouldn't be careless, who knew if this was a means of the Yellow Turban Army, and after sending Qianyuanwei to the Yin Feng Cave to verify it, he was relieved.
Hearing Zhang Fang say this, Chu He raised the huge super alloy steel shield in his hand and smiled: "Zhang Qianhu doesn't have to worry, you just need to take us in, even if we encounter a yin wind, we have a means to resist." ”
The dragon was silent, and with a slight touch of his fingers, a drop of essence blood flew out and landed on a mountain rock at the entrance of the cave, and it was like an arrow that shot deep into the mountain stone.
Chu He knew that the body of the dragon and blood soul had a miraculous place, leaving a blood mark on the mountain rock, even if he really got lost in the Yin Wind Cave, he could sense the breath of essence and blood, get out of the cave and leave.
Zhang Fang knew that although Chu Shuai was young, he was unpredictable, and Lord Long also looked very powerful, so after reminding him, he didn't say more: "Two adults, please come with the villain." ”
Chu He smiled: "You are already a thousand households in our Tianshui County, and you can be regarded as a handsome, so you don't need to call yourself a villain." ”
Zhang Fang didn't expect Chu He to be as approachable as the rumors, and when he heard Chu He say this, he no longer looked so reserved, and hurriedly said: "I know about my humble position." ”
The mouth of the Yin Wind Cave is extremely wide, and there is an underground river that exudes a cold atmosphere at the bottom, although the river is not very turbulent, but it is continuous all year round, the river is dark green, and there are whirlpools at the bottom from time to time, but it looks very strange and intimidating.
A stone beam crosses the Yin River, and to enter the Yin Wind Cave, you can only pass through the stone beam.
Chu He walked into the Yin Wind Cave, and suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees, and the Yin Wind was whistling, making a sharp sound, but the Yin Wind of the cave was not very cold, not to mention Chu Helong, even Zhang Fang, a second-grade strong bone martial artist, could withstand it.
Of course, Zhang Fang is not like Chu He and Long He, who is now in the Yin Wind Cave in ordinary robes.
He was wrapped up and down very tightly, with a thick deerskin coat on the outside, a large cotton jacket on the inside, even the wrists and ankles were tied up with animal skins, and he was wearing thick deerskin boots under his feet, which were almost wrapped like zongzi.
He also had four or five torches strapped to his back, and he looked extremely comical.
Chu He felt that Zhang Fang was making a big fuss at first, even if there was a yin wind, he prepared a huge super alloy steel shield to protect Zhang Fang.
As Zhang Fang continued to go deeper into the Yin Feng Cave, turning seven times and eight turns, passing through many narrow cave cracks, and drilling a few holes that only allowed people to pass through, the temperature dropped at an alarming rate, and it could really be said that it was icy and snowy.
The oncoming wind is even like going straight into the pores.
Even if Chu He is a five-grade cultivator, the triple realm of the golden bell jar, and his physical body is extremely strong, he is attacked by this yin wind, and he feels a slight chill, if ordinary martial artists are not prepared in advance, they are afraid that they will already freeze on the ground and be unable to move.
Zhang Fang is not like Chu He and Long He, who can see things in the dark, holding a torch in his hand, carefully protecting it from being blown out by the yin wind, and shuddering as he walks: "Actually, from the entrance of the cave to the place where the foreign grass is, there is a spacious passage to go to." ”
"But this huge passage in the mountains is blown out by the yin wind, and if you pass from somewhere, you will definitely encounter an extremely terrible yin wind. ”
His voice seemed a little erratic in the shrill whine of the Yin Wind: "Even in the cracks of these caves, they may encounter strong Yin Wind, but only in this way can a cultivator like a humble rank have a chance to enter the Yin Wind Cave. ”
Zhang Fangzheng was talking, just turned a gap in the cave, and five or six young corpses suddenly appeared on the cave floor.
These corpses were not dressed by the hunters in the mountains, they looked more like barbarians, they were all dressed in animal skin armor, thick cotton clothes inside, sharp iron knives and short spears were scattered on the ground, and their faces were blue-black.
Because the Yin Wind Cave is cold, it naturally has an antiseptic effect, and I don't know how long these people have been dead.
When Zhang Fang saw a few corpses, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice: "How could anyone die here? Last time, the lord of Qianyuanwei led the Qianyuan Guard to pass here, no one died here!"
Chu He's face sank slightly, and he thought for a moment before asking, "Zhang Qianhu, apart from you, who else knows the news of the Golden Striped Dragon Whisker Grass?"
Zhang Fang shook his head: "Back to the big handsome, only the lowly one knows, and he didn't tell others." ”
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is not far from the location of the golden-veined dragon's beard grass, and there is no fork in the road, if there are still people who survive, follow this road all the way, you can reach the demon beast's lair, and find the golden-veined dragon's beard grass." ”
Zhang Fang carefully looked at the corpses on the ground, and frowned: "They are not people from the vicinity, there are not many people nearby who dare to enter the Yin Feng Cave, and they are all acquaintances." ”
His eyes suddenly narrowed: "Lord Chu, this person has a token on his waist!"
Chu He took a look, and sure enough, he found that one of the iron armor was green and strong, and there was a token hanging on it, and there were font lines and the like on it.
Zhang Fang was about to bend down to pick up the token to see the identities of these people, when suddenly, under this corpse, a few points of black light suddenly flew out, and under the firelight, the speed was extremely alarming and shot towards Zhang Fang.
Zhang Dacheng was shocked, with his cultivation, he couldn't avoid this black light attack.
Long He snorted slightly, flicked his sleeves, and the red light flashed, and he saw a few points of black light stop instantly, and then fell to the ground.
"Thank you, Lord Dragon!"
Zhang Fang was shocked, and hurriedly thanked Long Er, his eyes followed the black dots on the ground, and after a few glances, he suddenly remembered something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted in great horror: "Grimace Black Armor! Yin Demon Worm! This is the Yin Demon Worm!"
"Yin Demon Worm?"
Seeing Zhang Fang so frightened, Chu He frowned slightly and looked at the black dots on the ground.
I saw the black dots flying out of the corpse, and they were black beetles the size of fingernails.
These beetles are melon-shaped, with a wide head and a pointed tail, a pair of sharp fangs in front, and a circle of jagged spikes around them.
The only oddity is that there is a rather bright white markings on the back armor, which looks like a hideous grimace.
But immediately, Chu He found that Long Ji's expression became solemn, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
"General Dragon, do you know these Yin Demon Worms?"
In the Yin Wind Cave, Long He naturally didn't need a cloak to block the sun, he looked at the few Yin Demon Insects on the ground with a somewhat solemn expression, nodded slightly, and then flicked his sleeves, and the wind surged.
Chu He was shocked to find that countless Yin Demon Worms roared out from under the corpse, turning into a black wind, and rushed towards the three of them frantically.
As soon as the red light rose all over the dragon's body, and the five fingers were caught in the air, the black wind formed by the Yin Demon Insect seemed to be wrapped up by a thin net, and then it let out a crackling explosion, gathered into a sphere and fell to the ground, exuding an extremely fishy and unpleasant smell.
Zhang Fang's whole body trembled, and from his pale face, it could be seen that this was not cold, but a trembling of fear.
He took a deep breath, but he couldn't calm himself down, and said with a trembling voice: "Two adults, we must get out of here immediately, the Yin Demon Worm is ...... Servant of the god of the underworld...... will flesh and blood all living beings...... The soul has been eaten!...... I can't have encountered demon beasts and poisonous insects all the way!"
With a flick of Long He's sleeves again, one of the corpses turned over, Chu He's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
I saw that a huge hole appeared in the back of this corpse, and only the miserable white backbone and ribs were left in it, and the flesh and internal organs on the back were eaten by the Yin Demon Worm!
Seeing what Zhang Fang was still trembling and muttering, Long He's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "There is a god of war, what are you afraid of!"
His cold snort contained the power of shocking the divine soul, Zhang Fang was shocked, and only then did he come back to his senses slightly, but You looked at the corpse of the Yin Demon Insect on the ground with horror, but he didn't talk nonsense anymore.
Only then did Long Ji say in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there would be a Yin Demon Corpse Worm here!"
When Chu He saw Long Ji's appearance, he also knew that these insects were not simple, and couldn't help asking: "General Long, are they called Yin Demon Corpse Worms? ”
Long He frowned, and his tone was a little solemn: "Yin Demon Corpse Worm is extremely fierce by nature, and likes to devour corpses the most, and will also attack living creatures, and the female worm can reproduce quickly in the corpse, and it often doesn't take long to form an overwhelming momentum. ”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Although the Yin Demon Corpse Worms are not very powerful, their terrifying number allows them to easily kill a large number of ordinary creatures. ”
"Even if it is a strong bone realm martial artist, they are very able to resist the terrifying attacks of these Yin Demon Corpse Worms, and often as soon as the Yin Demon Corpse Worms appear, they will be thousands of miles away, and the living souls will be extinct!"
When Chu He heard this, his face suddenly changed, didn't this sound like a plague of locusts that made people talk about it in ancient times? It's just that the locusts eat rice and plants, and these yin demon corpses eat flesh and blood.
Being able to kill a second-grade strong bone realm martial artist, it's no wonder that Zhang Fang is so afraid, once it spreads, I really don't know how many people will die!
He took a deep breath: "What is the weakness of this Yin Demon Corpse Worm, what should I do now, can I let it spread?"
Long Ji shook his head: "Yin Demon Corpse Worm is most afraid of high temperatures, and it is impossible to survive in autumn and summer, so they can only find a cold place to hide." There was no outbreak of scourge in Tianshui County in winter, which means that these Yin Demon Corpse Worms have not yet spread to the land outside the cave. ”
"Fortunately, we went to the Yin Wind Cave and found these Yin Demon Corpse Worms, as long as we can find the mother worm and kill it, we can eradicate the scourge! ”
Chu He frowned: "Where is the mother worm?"
Long He nodded and said: "The Yin Demon Corpse Worm can only reproduce by the female worm, if the environment is suitable and the food is very large, more female worms will be separated, once it reaches this point, there is almost no possibility of extinguishing the Yin Demon Corpse Worm, you can only wait for the next summer, wait for the Yin Demon Corpse Worm to die by itself!"
He couldn't help but look towards the depths of the cave: "The mother worm of the Yin Demon Corpse Worm will choose the most powerful creature corpse to reproduce offspring, if the last general is not mistaken, that dragon horn fire cow, I'm afraid it has already died!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a move, and the token hanging on the corpse flew into his hand out of thin air.
Chu He didn't know why Long He's face changed suddenly when he saw the token: "General Long, what is the origin of these three Miao Cave tokens?"
Long Ji's face became extremely gloomy: "Sanmiao Cave is a huge barbarian force in Southern Xinjiang, which can repel insects and be good at refining Gu, these people from Sanmiao Cave appear here, no wonder there will be Yin Demon Corpse Worms, I am afraid that the people of Nanban deliberately released them here." ”
"Young master, it seems that the trip to Qinzhou must be thought twice!"
Chu He pondered for a moment, his face was solemn, and finally shook his head: "It shouldn't be the hand sent by Meng Huo." ”
"Tianshui County is connected to Meng Huo's territory, and the Yin Demon Corpse Worm is likely to spread to other counties. What's more, even if it only breaks out in Tianshui County, when the temperature rises, the Yin Demon Corpse Worm can still hide in the Yin Wind Cave, which is always a disaster, unless the people of the Southern Barbarians can completely control the Yin Demon Corpse Worm. ”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, looked at Zhang Fang, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Qianhu, how did you know about these Yin Demon Corpse Worms, have you ever seen them before?"
Zhang Fang heard Long He say this, his mind settled down slightly, and he swallowed his saliva before saying: "I haven't seen the Yin Demon Worm, and I don't know if the Yin Demon Corpse Worm that Lord Long said is the Yin Demon Worm." ”
Chu He frowned: "Then how did you recognize these as Yin Demon Worms?"
Zhang Fang hurriedly said: "Back to Lord Chu, there has been a legend in the Yin Wind Cave, the cave goes straight to the Yellow Spring, there is an incomparably terrifying Yin God in it, and the Yin Wind Cave is caused by the Yin God's breathing. ”
"There are ghost-faced evil insect servants under the Yin God, who follow the Yin Wind of the Yin God's spitting and will kill all the Yang creatures who dare to approach the underworld!"
Zhang Fang's eyes were frightened and couldn't help but look at the corpse of the Yin Demon Worm on the ground again: "When I saw these black insects with grimaces on their backs, I knew that they were the legendary Yin Demon Worms!"
"There has always been a legend of the Yin Demon Worm?"
Chu He frowned and groaned, and then asked, "Zhang Qianhu, do you know that the Yin Demon Worm has ever left the Yin Wind Cave and harmed the creatures outside?"
Zhang Fang thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "This humble position is not unheard of, I only know that many people who dare to enter the Yin Wind Cave, once they enter the depths of the Yin Wind Cave, they will be eaten by the Yin Demon Worm, and even their souls will not be able to stay." ”
Chu He asked again: "Who passed it on?"
Zhang Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this humble position, anyway, everyone spreads it like this, and many people in our Beidu County know this rumor, and it has always been passed down like this." ”
Chu He thought for a moment before turning his head to Long He and said, "It seems that this Yin Demon Worm was not released here by the people of Sanmiao Cave. Since the people of Sanmiao Cave can repel insects and be good at refining Gu, it may be that they know that there are Yin Demon Corpse Worms here, so they came here, intending to capture them for Gu refining. ”
"These things will be considered later. The top priority is to find the mother worm of the Yin Demon Corpse Worm and kill it!"
