Chapter 62: The Corpse Worm and the Blood Infant Fruit
Ding Xing chose to travel at night.
The moonlight was flourishing this night, even if there was no sword qi illuminating the skylight, Ding Xing could take advantage of the moonlight to clearly identify the way in the Dust Mountains.
He rode through the mountains and forests on a green wind, heading south.
In the battle with Pharmacist Fan more than a month ago, Qingfeng was slashed in the back by the cicada wing knife, and his injuries had long been healed.
Na Fan Pharmacist was born in the Nightshade Medicine Village, and he deals with herbal elixirs every day, and treasures a lot of healing things, and the medicinal effect is better than Ding Xing's spirit wine.
When Qingfeng was injured in the snow forest, Ding Xing took local materials and treated Qingfeng with the elixir of the young man in Mai.
It's the same this time.
Speaking of which, Ding Xing and Qingfeng have been together twice, and both have encountered wars, although Qingfeng's demon power is not deep, and the demon law is not strong, but the victory lies in daring to fight, no matter how big the danger is, the antlers will dare to charge.
After finishing the affairs of the Daoist and returning to Jinlu Winery, Ding Xing will discuss with his uncle Wu Shiqing and buy Qingfeng back, but Wu Shiqing's family only has Qingfeng, and this uncle may not be willing to give up Qingfeng.
At that time, Ding Xing said that he had to take out a jar of golden dew liquid, this kind of spirit wine could impress Wu Shiqing 100%.
Ding Xing was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a low roar of the green wind, stopped his hooves and feet, and then lowered the deer's head and sniffed the smell of the ground.
"What did you find?" Ding Xing looked around, and there were only empty mountains and forests within a radius of several miles, and there was no living creature in sight.
Ding Xing took a few more sips of the Divine Dispersion, extending his divine thoughts to the limit, but he still found nothing.
But Qingfeng doesn't stop here for no reason.
It sniffed for a while, and the deer looked at Ding Xing, which was asking if he wanted to start a tracking.
Ding Xing thought for a moment and made a gesture: "Chase!"
When Qingfeng heard this, he began to run wildly.
Ding Xing judged that Qingfeng smelled the children of his uncle Wu Shiqing's family, and it was very likely that Wu Lianchen was lost in the Dust Mountain.
In fact, Qingfeng's talent is not known for his sense of smell, but if he encounters the smell of monks who get along day and night, then Qingfeng will definitely be able to smell it.
Sure enough, after running for more than ten miles in one go, Qingfeng climbed a mountain peak and tracked Wu Lianchen's figure here.
Ding Xing was condescending at the top of the peak, and overlooked an extremely terrifying scene from afar.
In the valley below, there are dense black insects, their appearance is seven or eight points similar to the pest rhino beetle, each has wings, can fly in mid-air, one by one line rotation, and layer by layer, forming a whirlpool of insect clouds several feet high.
In that whirlpool, six monks were trapped, three of them were seriously wounded and collapsed on the ground unconscious, and the remaining three had to take care of the wounded, and did not dare to break through, so they could only be stationed in place to organize defense.
Ding Xing saw through the gap in the insect swarm and saw the appearance of the six people, who turned out to be the children of the Wu and Meng clans from Jinlu Winery.
Wu Lianchen was impressively in the ranks, he was holding a fist-sized blood fruit with one hand, this fruit was strangely shaped, like a heart, the inside of the fruit was transparent and hollow, condensing a human-like foreign body, and the blood light spread outside the fruit, reflecting a large blood-colored circle of light, covering him and the two injured and unconscious children inside.
The black worm seemed to be afraid of blood light, and only flew on the periphery, not daring to escape into the aperture.
The three people next to Wu Lianchen, Ding Xing is also very familiar with, it is Shen Laohan and Granny Meng who accompanied him to the south, and their only daughter Shen Chuanxiang.
Shen Chuanxiang half-squatted on the ground, holding the unconscious Granny Meng, Shen Laohan stood in front of the two, holding an incense burner, and inserting a stick of insect incense into the stove.
In the past, Ding Xing lit incense in the orchard, never used the incense burner, if he used it, he could control the time and scope of the incense burning, Shen Laohan let the incense mist only diffuse among the three people, so that not only could prevent the black worm from approaching, but also save the use of incense.
But no matter how Shen Laohan saves, in the face of such a large swarm, his insect incense will run out sooner or later.
With worry on his face, he shouted at Wu Lianchen: "Lian Chen, there is no way to go on like this, they chased them out of the nest for the sake of the Blood Infant Fruit, you quickly throw away this fruit, maybe they will scatter!"
Wu Lianchen frowned and said, "If they don't disperse, what will we do to stop them then! Besides, we have already killed seven or eight clansmen for this fruit, and if we lose it, won't the blood be shed in vain?"
Shen Laohan suddenly sighed: "At that time, I said in the cave that this fruit grows in the nest of corpse weeping insects, which is unlucky, and picking the fruit will lead to great disasters. ”
Shen Chuanxiang heard this, and interjected: "Dad, when Brother Lian Chen returned to the mountain city, he told us the situation clearly, there was a kind of blood baby fruit growing in that cave, we all said that we wanted to pick it, and no one objected, why did you start accusing Brother Lian Chen now?"
Half a year ago, Wu Lianchen disappeared in Rolling Dust Mountain, and he has been hiding in a nearby sword forbidden cave for refuge, but the enemy family chased after him and blocked the outside of the cave.
He didn't dare to leave, so he explored in the cave, inadvertently opened a cave left over from ancient times, found a batch of material treasures, and found this blood baby fruit, because the fruit was guarded by a group of corpse weeping insects, he couldn't pick his hand, so he waited for a while, until he recently found out that the enemy had left, so he returned to the mountain city to move reinforcements.
Since the killing of the Kaishan ants a month ago, Jinlu Lingjiao has completely broken the clues, a large number of winery disciples have returned to their hometowns, and only more than ten people remain in the mountain city, including Shen Laohan and Granny Meng.
At this time, Wu Lianchen returned to the mountain city, and the more than ten winery disciples heard that there were rare and exotic fruits to pick, and they all accompanied them, but most of them died.
Shen Laohan was dissatisfied with his daughter's appearance to outsiders, and muttered: "I didn't object at the time, because I wanted to find Ah Xing, the child has been missing for more than a month, and I don't know if he is dead or alive, I am looking for him by the way, so I agreed to follow you to find the fruit." ”
This expedition was accompanied by more than a dozen people, and Shen Laohan thought that there were many people and there was no danger, who knew that he would suffer such a big disaster.
Wu Lianchen listened to Shen Laohan's tirade, with a wooden face, and was silent.
In the past six months, he has been working hard for the blood baby fruit in his hand, he feels that this fruit is extraordinary, if he brings it back to the winery and pays tribute to Shangzong, he is expected to be given Xuanzang Pill, after all, there was such a precedent before, the rare and exotic fruits in the world, the old-timers of Shangzong are the most loved.
He had already explored the environment of the cave clearly, and there were no casualties when picking fruits, but he never imagined that after the fruits were successfully picked, the insect swarm would chase and kill them all the way.
This time, he caused a group of clansmen to die unexpectedly, even if he brought the blood baby fruit home, I am afraid it will be worth the merit.
When he was worried, he suddenly saw a big change in the insect swarm, and he sniffed a few times: "Smell it, there is a smell of wine!"
Shen Laohan and Shen Chuanxiang both have sensing.
As the wine spreads, the swarm quickly spirals out of control.
Hula!
The insect cloud vortex, several feet high, seemed to have been hit hard by some spell, and it collapsed in an instant, and all the corpse weeping insects fell to the ground.
The crisis was inadvertently lifted.
Wu Lianchen and the three of them were dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a while before they regained their senses and shouted happily: "Who is going to solve the siege?
They looked left and right, thinking that the winery monk had come to their aid, but when they looked around, they saw no human figure, only the shadow of a deer in sight.
Qingfeng stepped into the valley, turned back in three steps, and looked south.
When they saw this, they immediately surrounded them.
"Qingfeng!"
"The smell of wine just now was from Ah Xing, right?"
"Why isn't he with you?"
Wu Lianchen and the three of them all knew that Ding Xing had brought Qingfeng as a mount before leaving home, but at this moment, Ding Xing was nowhere to be seen, where did the person go.
Qingfeng couldn't speak, just cared about the scream, just now Ding Xing found that there was a golden corpse in the back that was smelled by the corpse weeping worm, and bit out the true form, Ding Xing saw this corpse, and without saying a word, he sacrificed the moon paper door, and the royal gate ran.
Before Ding Xing left, he asked Qingfeng to go to the valley to find Wu Lianchen and return to the winery together.
Qingfeng didn't understand why Ding Xing was afraid of the golden corpse, it wanted to follow Ding Xing, but Ding Xing teleported too fast, and it couldn't capture the direction.
Wu Lianchen and the three of them asked about the situation, but they couldn't ask anything, so they prepared to look for it nearby.
Who knew that at this time, he suddenly saw a sword light piercing the sky and fled towards the south.
After the sword left, an angry old male voice was left behind, which entered the valley and fell into the ears of the three people: "Dare to let the corpse weeping worm eat the old man's golden corpse, and when the old man catches you, he will refine you!"
When Wu Lianchen heard this male voice, he trembled in fright: "It's not good, the three corpse old monsters are here! We are definitely not his opponents, run!" He subconsciously dodged and escaped dozens of feet away in one breath.
Half a year ago, he participated in the battle of sniping the descendants of the Four Heavenly Kings, and witnessed the vicious necrogenomic skills of the three corpse old monsters, and several uncles in the family died at the hands of this old monster, he was familiar with this voice, so he retreated.
But Shen Laohan and Shen Chuanxiang stood still, and the father and daughter were dissatisfied with Wu Lianchen's behavior: "What about the three corpse old monsters? He is ruthless to the sky, and he will kill us at most! Besides, he is chasing others, and he is not trying to deal with us, what are you afraid of!"
Shen Laohan guessed that the three corpse old monsters were chasing Ding Xing, this kid was really tough, he would rather be in danger himself than drag outsiders down, and he was worried about Ding Xing in his heart.
Shen Chuanxiang and Ding Xing don't know each other, so naturally they won't put Ding Xing at ease, she has been thinking about Wu Lianchen, and thinks that this young man is elegant, a humble gentleman, and a rare candidate for Taoism, but what happened just now? Seeing a monster is just like a mouse seeing a cat, so it is not a big deal, and it is not a good object to entrust.
Wu Lianchen felt quite embarrassed, and also knew that he had just lost someone, he saw that the black insect on the ground was not dead, and the body of the insect shook occasionally, so he said: "This boundary is not safe, let's evacuate quickly." ”
Shen Laohan and Shen Chuanxiang also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong and go with him to help the wounded.
When they left the valley, they all didn't mention Ding Xing, because Ding Xing was most likely chased and killed by the three corpse old monsters, but they didn't have the ability and courage to rescue him.
'It's a pity, kid!'
Shen Laohan was full of regrets, he had always wanted to introduce his daughter to Ding Xing, but Ding Xing had not seen anyone dead or dead for more than a month, and he couldn't match these two children.
I suddenly want to meet today, but I encounter a great enemy again, hey, it's unlucky! Shen Laohan couldn't help but think to himself, is it all because of the catastrophic effect brought by the corpse weeping insects?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the corpse weeping worm that was causing trouble, and this worm had the nickname of 'plague worm', just like a crow among birds.
