Chapter 68: Counterattack

Everyone took a closer look by the firelight, and saw a small flying insect scurrying on the ground, and everywhere it went, everyone retreated and dodged. The old Miao doctor hurriedly said, "Don't be touched by it, it's afraid of fire!"

Everyone hurriedly picked up a few dead sticks from the fire, blocked the path of the Gu worm everywhere, and finally controlled it in a very small space. Through the light around it, everyone saw its true face.

It turned out to be a small animal that resembled some kind of beetle, with wings, but could not fly, and was so timid in the light of the fire that it did not dare to move. But thinking that it had just taken two lives in that cruel way, everyone couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Under the command of the old Miao doctor, everyone relied on the deterrence of the flames and gradually approached, and the Gu worms began to show their teeth and claws at everyone, but they could not escape from the encirclement of the flames.

"Burn it, this is a harmful thing, you can't keep it, avenge your brother", the old Miao doctor finally gave an order, and several Miao people poked the Gu worm with fire sticks at the same time, and with a terrible sound of insects, the Gu worm full of evil qi had been burned to ashes.

The old Miao doctor did not dare to slack off, cautiously examined the bodies of the two people, and then asked the team leader to cremate the two of them. The Miao people are not accustomed to cremation, they are generally buried in the earth, but because they are people who have been killed by Gu insects, no one dares to slack off, so they have to set up a fire, and the Miao people cremated the two companions with tears in their eyes.

In just a few days, four people had died, and there was a lot of danger in the swamp, and no one knew who would be next.

What happened just now happened too suddenly, Lin Chunxi felt that there were a lot of incomprehensions in retrospect, Luo Yifei was also the first time to see Gu worms with his own eyes, and his heart was also full of doubts, Lao Miao Doctor saw the confusion of the two of them, and explained in a deep voice, "Gu worms are actually not mysterious, any animal can be turned into Gu worms, but the bigger the animal, the more difficult it is to control, so Gu masters usually choose smaller creatures to manipulate, and the refining methods of each Gu worm are different, but the purpose is the same, that is, to use Gu worms to sneak attack and harm people." He pointed to the clothes of the two people who had been cremated, and continued, "This kind of Gu worm is a puppet that makes people lose their minds and completely become Gu worms, if it is not discovered early, it will probably kill us one by one."

Everyone was scared after hearing this, but Luo Yifei continued to ask, "Old man, do Gu worms have to be controlled by Gu masters in order to complete harmful actions." Old Miao Yi nodded, "That's right, there must be a Gu master lurking near our camp, I just don't know where he is hiding at this time, but I estimate that he has already run away after the incident, but he can't use this method to harm people in a short period of time, because the Gu master manipulates the Gu worm to make trouble, it will consume his own great spiritual power, and the Gu worm can also be said to be integrated with the Gu master, as soon as the Gu worm dies, the Gu master will also be counterattacked, I think he has also been seriously injured at this time."

After everyone took care of everything, it was already close to dawn, and no one was sleepy, recalling the amazing scene last night, it was still shocking.

Lin Chunxi thought that there was an evil Gu Master following the team, and he felt very uneasy in his heart, he felt that all of this must be directly related to Miao Nan's demons.

In fact, Lin Chunxi's guess was right, the moment they burned the Gu worm to death last night, there was indeed a person in the grass not far away, and at the moment when the worm died, a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, he knew that he had already hurt his vitality, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he took advantage of the dark night and quietly slipped away.

This person is the poisonous demon lord Ge Yiqin, after he lurked into the swamp, he has been following behind everyone, but because there are a large group of iron-scaled snakes are also chasing everyone, he doesn't dare to get too close, he can only follow from a distance, and he sees all the encounters of everyone along the way. This master of the Demon Dao was also a little surprised by the strength of these young disciples in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, these people were so young, they actually had their own unique skills, and they were able to turn danger into disaster frequently, and finally they had entered the depths of the swamp, getting closer and closer to the center of the swamp.

He vaguely felt that these people would definitely become the henchmen of the Demon Dao in the future, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the group as soon as possible, but he didn't have a chance to do it for a long time. He followed all the way here, and saw that everyone was tired and on guard, so he decided to take the risk of using Gu worms to try, the power of Gu poison was extremely powerful, especially for animals, it was the most sensitive, because of his Gu magic, it alarmed the crow flock in the swamp.

This Gu worm is a precious treasure that he has cultivated for many years, during this period, he has killed many people, and he has never missed, but he didn't expect to be burned alive by this group of people last night, because the Gu worm is in a symbiotic relationship with the owner, so as soon as the Gu worm dies, the master will also be affected by the Gu poison, and he has also suffered serious internal injuries at this time.

But he was still not reconciled, and still followed the team from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Just as he was about to get up and chase after everyone, he suddenly became alert, quickly stood still, pinched a handful of poisonous sand in his hand, and coldly watched the movement in the grass.

Slowly, a thin old woman slowly walked out of the grass, with a dark smile on her face, and said to Ge Yiqin, "Elder Ge, it seems that she is injured, do you need the old woman to show you."

Ge Yi's face showed a hint of fierceness, and replied, "Don't bother Elder Guo to take care of it, Ge was careless for a while, and he couldn't kill all those people, wait for me to rest for a while, and then I can leave", when he spoke, he had already pinched out at least three strong poisons in his hand, and he was ready to make a move.

The person who came was Guo Shuyao, the puppeteer of the Demon Dao, she smiled coldly at Ge Yiqin, "Since you don't appreciate it, then I won't bother the old woman, you are so good to recuperate, I will avenge you", and then slowly retreated into the grass.

Ge Yi looked at the grass for a long time, not daring to take it lightly, knowing that after he was sure that Guo Shuyao had gone away, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, and the nervous state just now led his body to surge with qi and blood, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Several elders of the Demon Dao have also attacked and killed each other frequently, these people have cultivated evil methods, and they have not been happy with each other in the past, and now Ge Yi is seriously injured in person, it is a great opportunity for Guo Shuyao to sneak attack, if he hadn't forced himself just now, and deterred him with poison, as long as Guo Shuyao confirmed that he no longer had enough strength to fight back, he would definitely attack without hesitation.

Ge Yiqin hurriedly sat down and flirted with his skills, and kept an eye on the movements around him, in this swamp, the crisis seemed to be far from being resolved.
