Chapter 17: Facing Your Fears
Thinking that the Gu worm that had been exchanged for fifteen years of life was thrown into the magma and burned to death, Yun Shu's expression suddenly collapsed, as uncomfortable as if he had eaten something dirty, even if his heart was good, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "It's empty!"
But just after saying this, as if to prove Yunshu's mistake, the magma actually boiled wildly, and the crimson magma foam kept coming out and breaking, and there seemed to be something about to come out of this magma. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, a small gray object suddenly burst out of the magma, and after hitting the ground, it looked around, and then more and more, dense gray objects burst out of the magma like beans.
Seeing this, Yun Shu's face finally showed joy!
"The subworm of the Heat Devouring Gu!" Yun Shu recognized this thing at a glance. The subworms of the Heat-devouring Gu are reproduced by the mother worm after absorbing heat, and they are gray in color, much larger than the female worm, but their strength is very different from the female worm.
If it enters the human body, it can absorb the body temperature and make people become an ice sculpture, which can shatter when touched, which is really a dangerous thing. However, after this worm enters the human body, although it will also absorb heat, it will not be fatal, it will only make people feel cold pain, and the human body will not be too damaged after suffering.
This is also the reason why Yun Shu takes a fancy to this Heat Devouring Gu.
More and more sub-worms are jumping out of the magma, although these bugs have the same special abilities as the mother, but they are beyond the reach of the mother, they cannot survive in the magma for a long time, so they jump out of the magma immediately after birth, and jump on the rocky pavement.
At this time, the temperature seems to have dropped.
Yun Shu immediately grabbed a sub-worm and pinched it in his hand to look at it carefully. The whole body of the subworm is cold, as if it is pinching a piece of thousand-year-old ice. The mother worm obeyed Yun Shu's words, and the subworms bred by this mother worm naturally took Yun Shu as the horse's head. Yunshu can only accept everything it has done. At this time, after Yun Shu observed, he immediately held his breath, stuffed the finger-sized subworm into his mouth, and then chewed for a while.
The feeling of nausea filled his mouth, but Yunshu didn't stop, and after eating one, he began to devour the second and third. Because he knows that now is not the time for him to choose delicious food, but for life and death. He can't die, he must return to the royal city and return to everyone in the Yun family to prove that he is not a waste!
"Ahem, cough ......" tastes the same as chewing wax, even though he refuses to eat this thing in his heart, but Yunshu forcibly forced himself to eat these insects, only by eating, can he live, if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death, it's as simple as that.
With the entry of the subworm, Yunshu felt that the heat in his body was gradually draining. He knew that he couldn't eat more, although the power of the subworm was not as powerful as the mother, but it added up to a lot, and after eating too much, he was afraid that he would still freeze to death.
At this time, not only Yunshu's body, but even the magma began to cool, and the interior of the originally hot Zhenshan actually began to cool down rapidly.
Exhaling a piece of white gas, Yunshu slapped with trembling hands to make the mother worm fly out of the magma, lest the magma completely cool down and turn into stone. Then Yun Shu staggered towards the corpse.
The heat-absorbing effect of the subworms in the body began to gradually appear, Yun Shu's body heat was rapidly draining, and even condensed frost appeared on the surface of the body, Yun Shu blew hot air into his hands, and approached the corpse with great difficulty, and finally, at the extreme distance, that is, when there were still four steps away from the corpse, he stopped.
Fear is raging. Body heat is being lost.
Every muscle in Yunshu's body seemed to be trembling, and he slowly closed his eyes, and hissing gasps came out of his mouth.
Yunshu is to feel, to experience, to be familiar with this feeling of fear. Immerse yourself in a sea of fear, learn to "swim" in a panic that borders on madness, and of course, under the combined effect of cold and fear, it is undoubtedly like falling into hell.
In the case of extreme cold, people will shiver at the beginning, and then the shivering will stop and the feeling of drowsiness will instinctively emerge, which is a danger signal.
"Ding ......" a crisp bell rings as if it was in the ear, and it seemed to be far away in the sky. As soon as the sound passed, it was extremely penetrating, and it seemed to penetrate Yunshu's soul, making him open his eyes in a daze when he was very tired, but the inside of Zhenshan was still empty, and finally he couldn't resist the sleepiness, and Yunshu closed his eyes.
Yunshu fell into a deep sleep, and time passed quietly.
The subworms gradually died as the heat inside the town decreased, but the mother worm shrank in place and fell back into a deep sleep, waiting for the owner to wake her up again.
After four hours, Yunshu finally woke up. After waking up this time, Yunshu's face seemed to have a touch of perseverance and a touch of indifference.
He didn't speak, quickly and quietly took out the blank paper, read the poison scripture on it, and absorbed more experience and knowledge of Gu poison. When he was hungry, he used the mother worm to produce the subworms, which he ate before finally falling into a deep slumber near the corpse.
Learn to use poison, eat the worms, fall asleep in fear, and repeat the cycle.
Yunshu felt that his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he gradually became accustomed to fear. He was pleased to find that this fear could indeed be adapted, as long as he dared to face it.
Finally, when he faced the corpse, he was already eight steps closer than ten paces, and he was only two steps away from the powerful corpse.
The distance between these two steps makes Yunshu never surpassable.
Panic spread in his heart, and when he got closer to this position, Yun Shu could clearly see the dried skin on the corpse and the thin face.
The owner of this corpse seemed to be an extremely handsome man when he was still alive, and even if he became a dry corpse after death, he still did not lose his fierce demeanor, which made people want to ask, who is this person?
These last two steps are too difficult to surpass, in this position, Yunshu feels as if the heavens and the earth are trembling, it seems that the end of the world is playing out in front of him, and even hallucinations appear, there are countless demons and monsters dancing in front of him, Yunshu has been sleeping under the fear of this corpse these days, and he is adapting to the more and more powerful fear aura every day, but this foot can't get out.
"It's so uncomfortable!" Yun Shu gritted his teeth and insisted, this time, even if he ate the worm, even if it was so cold that people instinctively wanted to enter the sleep stage, but in the face of this fear, Yun Shu was completely sleepy, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, run, run faster, the farther the better.
It seems that within the body of the black-robed senior, there is a huge coercion warning Yun Shu, if you get closer, you will be killed!!!" Yun Shu shouted. I wanted to take another step, but this kick was only in mid-air and did not fall, but a big word suddenly flew out of my mind - death!!
Feeling the overwhelming invisible coercion, Yun Shu's whole body began to sweat as if he was soaked, this feeling as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff and stepping forward, it was like facing the fire wolf battle that would kill him!
He thought. Why are you afraid? I've spent these days getting used to this fear. Obviously, I can already face fear head-on without changing my face, why are these last two steps surprisingly difficult?
At this time, Yun Shu suddenly remembered a person in his heart, a person he once admired and then hated, Yun Zhan.
Yunshu's father used to raise Yunshu as the heir to the family. In order to let Yun Shu adapt to blood and killing since he was a child, he asked Yun Shu to go to the execution ground in Wangcheng and found a position as an executioner for him, so that Yun Shu could cut and kill prisoners from an early age, so as to exercise his heart.
After a long time, Yunshu became numb, from the beginning of his panic and trembling, and then his hands fell with knives, he knew that these prisoners were all damned people, so he killed them. It's just that whenever Yunshu is executed, he always observes the expressions of the prisoners.
Some can't let go of many things, so they panic, fear, and even pee their pants without interest. And some regard death as home, no longer have nostalgia for everything in this world, and even express contempt for all the living present before death.
Yun Zhan once told Yun Shu that if a person is not even afraid of death, then he has nothing to fear.
It is true that Yunshu does not want to die, he is determined to return to the royal city to seek justice for himself, so he cherishes life extraordinarily. But in this situation, at this moment, what is needed is a person who is not afraid of death, only in this way can he be fearless of everything!
Under extreme pressure, Yunshu closed his eyes slightly. He couldn't make himself fearless of death in an instant, after all, the attachment was deep. But he can believe in himself, let himself trust himself deeply, and tell himself that he will not die, even if the powerful difficulties are in front of him, he will definitely not die!
This is how Yunshu despises death.
Rumble...... At this moment, it seemed that the fear had disappeared, and Yun Shu laughed and took another step. At this time, Yunshu thought that he had broken through the most difficult fear, so the last step after one step should not be a problem.
However, when he faced the final step, his spirit suddenly faced the brink of collapse.
I was relieved of my death, but ...... What about the people you care about?
At the last step, the picture of Yunshu's family suddenly appeared in front of him, his mother, father, younger brother, and all the people in the family who were related by blood, and even ...... Situ Xueying.
At this moment, Yunshu is on the verge of madness. Father, younger brother and family are not fetters, but mother Situ Xueying makes Yunshu unable to let go.
Yun Shu seemed to be about to bite his white teeth, and his clenched fists shattered the wound on the back of his hand, dripping with blood. In the face of ultimate fear, he trembled even more, and the bones hidden in his body began to creak, as if if he took another step forward, his whole body would shatter, and a pain even spread to his whole body to drive him back, and his mind was not short to give orders to his body - back back, back off!
He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Senior, your trap has hurt me so much, it turns out that your corpse is not an opportunity, but a dead end." ”
Yun Shu knew that his spirit was about to collapse, his thoughts were getting more and more uncontrollable, and he even forgot to run away, he sneered, and finally took the last step that he couldn't overcome.
"Buzzing ......" fear haunted his heart, spread all over his body, completely making Yunshu lose his mind, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, like a crazy person, he seemed to see the corpse that had been dead for an unknown number of years suddenly opened his eyes, looked at him with a smile, and laughed at his incompetence and cowardice.
This corpse can only be approached by truly ruthless people, Yunshu doesn't want to be like that, he would rather be crazy.
"Ding ......" a crisp bell rang, Yunshu fell to the ground, and the world returned to quiet.
Bite...... Bite...... Bite......
