Chapter 222: Youkai Have Accomplices
Seeing this scene, Chunxue's eyes involuntarily moistened.
She hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Mr. for saving me!" ”
At this moment, Chunxue knew in her heart that if Zhong Lifei hadn't let her drink the antidote in advance, her body would have mutated just like the immortal cultivators outside the magic circle.
"Girl, what are you doing here?"
Zhong Lifei helped Chunxue up, then glanced at Chu Fan, and said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, you should also thank my apprentice." ”
"Huh?" Chu Fan was stunned.
Zhong Lifei continued: "I didn't think about it so thoroughly, but I was very worried about the girl's safety, so I prepared two bottles of antidote in advance. ”
The Void Master was grateful for this, and quickly stood up and saluted.
"The great kindness of the head of Zhongli and Chu Shaoxia, the old man must remember it."
Seeing that Chunxue and the Void Master were thanking him, Chu Fan's face was slightly hot, knowing that the master was lifting the pile for himself, a warm current surged in his heart.
At the same time, he also knew the real reason why Master couldn't kill that monster with a single sword.
Chu Fan hurriedly pulled Zhong Lifei aside and muttered.
"Master, you are so confused!"
"Do you think it's a shame to give you credit for your teacher?"
"That's not what I meant! Divine blood in a bottle, right? ”
"Any questions?"
"Why don't you smear all the blood on your sword? If you do that, you'll be able to kill that youkai with a single sword. ”
"Theoretically, your proposal is right, killing that guy directly can make the Xiye clan unable to wake up, and everyone is safe."
"That's right! I am grateful to Master for saving Chunxue Girl, but your overly cautious actions have made things out of control. ”
"Originally, I was the same as you thought, but since I saw Qi Hong's ability, I had to change my mind."
"Qi Hong?"
Chu Fan was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene outside Yunyang City, when Qi Hong arrogantly beat a group of immortal cultivators.
This veteran is not amazingly powerful, but the Xiye clan in his body has formed a symbiotic relationship with him, so under the cover of Black Flame, Qi Hong can easily defeat many cultivation masters.
It wasn't until the master discovered the secret that he could be beheaded under the horse.
Chu Fan remembered that the master had said that the cunning Xiye clan grew up by sucking the true qi of others, and finally took advantage of the opportunity of the immortal cultivator's daytime ascension to successfully take over the abandonment and return to his own other world.
Then the problem is, whether it is Qi Hong or the many mutants, the parasitic Xiye clan in their bodies should be underdeveloped and in a deep sleep.
Why are these Xiye Clan people able to evolve into a complete body and seize the body of an immortal cultivator without being bound by the law?
Chu Fan also thought about this problem.
He believed that the immortal cultivators who entered the cave had mutated, and it was the three-headed and six-armed monster that awakened the sleeping Xiye clan.
But now the master suddenly mentioned Qi Hong, which made Chu Fan realize that things were not so simple.
Seeing that the apprentice was confused, Zhong Lifei made his words clear.
"To be honest, it was a risky move that I forced the monster out of its original form just now, and the risk is extremely high, and no one can guarantee success."
Chu Fan sighed: "I understand, it is difficult for Master to win against the monster head-on, so you don't bet all your bets on the strategy of pretending to be dead, but take a safe approach." ”
"That's one thing, and there's another."
Zhong Lifei groaned and said, "The monster has been suppressed by Lu Wu for many years and does not know the vicissitudes of the world, how can he know Qi Hong, and how can he awaken the Xiye clan in the other party's body?" So I suspect that there is a black hand behind the scenes! ”
Chu Fan exclaimed: "So, the monster has an accomplice? ”
Zhong Lifei nodded and said, "We know that there is no treasure of the gods here, where did the so-called treasure map in the Void Master's hand come from?" ”
Chu Fan was stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "I believe in the master's character, he will not make a fake picture to harm everyone......"
Zhong Lifei continued: "The old monk wants to harm people, and he doesn't know the exact location of suppressing evil spirits. ”
"That's right! This picture must be the work of the man behind the scenes, who wants to use our hands to break the seal of the great god Lugo. ”
Chu Fan completely understood, and hurriedly asked, "Since the master has guessed everything, why didn't you ask the master about the origin of the diagram in advance?" ”
"Monks are based on trustworthiness, do you think the old monk will tell me casually?"
Zhong Lifei said with emotion: "Only after witnessing the scam with his own eyes will the old monk confide in the truth. ”
"It turns out that this is the real reason why you saved the master!"
"The old monk can't die, if he dies, our clues will be broken."
Chu Fan asked again: "Why did Master save Miss Chunxue?" I believe you're not here to tie up with the Fengyi Gate. ”
"Pretending to be confused? Then I will not give you the credit for nothing. Zhong Lifei had a narrow smile on his face.
Chu Fan immediately blushed, and after peeking at Chunxue, his face turned even redder.
At this time, he found out that after Chunxue sacrificed his life to save her, he unknowingly had an inexplicable good impression of her.
"You two stop gossiping!"
The Void Master walked over anxiously and said to Zhong Lifei, "Hurry up and save the fellow Daoists present!" ”
Zhong Lifei sighed: "Alas, the materials for making the antidote are extremely precious, and I only have enough to make two bottles even if I work hard." ”
"What do you say? Will your benefactors sink forever in the sea of misery? ”
Zhong Lifei said half-truthfully: "I thought that the monster would use Gu poison as a killer weapon, and he would never use it lightly until the last moment, who knew that he was ruthless, and now he will take it out against everyone." ”
The Void Master, who didn't know the truth, had a sad look on his face.
"Now is not the time to sum up the experience, let's hurry up and think about leaving this hellish place!"
Chunxue said a little uneasily: "It won't be long before the alienated Daoists will break through the various formations of slaves and maids and kill in!" ”
Zhong Lifei and the others looked at it intently, and those immortal cultivators who had completely transformed into the Xiye Clan, although they were pierced through their bodies by the blade-like flowers, they did not fall to the ground and die because of this.
Compared to humans, the Xiye people have two incomparable superpowers.
One is the ability to charm others, and the other is to be born with super self-healing.
Even if they are injured many times by flowers, their wounds can heal in a short time.
What's even worse is that the fully awakened Xiye people have begun to use the spells possessed by the host to attack the Flower Sea World and the magic circle set up by Zhong Lifei.
Seeing that their eyes were blood-red one by one, and their mouths were showing fangs, looking like they were inhuman, Chu Fan couldn't help but change his complexion.
He realized that the current situation was critical, and if he hesitated, as Chunxue said, he would be surrounded by many people, and it would be difficult to fly.
At that time, there is no need for the three-headed and six-armed youkai to do it themselves, and everyone will die at the hands of the Xiye clan.
"It's nerve-wracking!"
Faced with the predicament, Zhong Lifei, who has always been optimistic, also frowned.
