51. Intelligence (1)
Moreover, it rarely exudes the most common necromantic aura of zombies and demons, at least with Yao Xiu's low-level divine sense, it can't sense it. When it lay motionless on the ground, it was absolutely no different from a normal dead corpse.
Seeing Huang Chang turn his head towards it, Wu Lingzi waved his hand and said hello, laughed a few more times, and came closer:
"Yao Daoyou, you have to be careful, recently this brought a cultivator, wandering around the tomb mountain all day long, searching for fresh and strong corpses everywhere, it seems that he is cultivating the Dao method of ghouls, like a powerful corpse demon like you, it is their favorite target to submit. β
"Oh?"
Huang Chang has stepped up his strengthening of Yao Xiu during this time, including his pronunciation ability, and he can say one or two individual syllables. And Wu Lingzi never cultivates, he has a lot of time to waste, and when he has nothing to do, he comes to talk to him, and he can actually judge his intentions from his extremely short words or two, as well as his body movements. Pretty accurate in most cases.
At this time, seeing Yao Xiu's palm on the hilt of the sword behind his back, knowing that it was a killing machine, Wu Lingzi hurriedly waved his hand:
"Eh, Daoyou, Daoyou, don't do it, I know that Yao Daoyou, you are very skilled, but those are cultivators who specialize in cultivating the way of demons and ghosts, they must have a special way to restrain our corpse demons, and we are born to suffer losses when dealing with them! β
Seeing Wu Lingzi so soft, a nameless anger in Huang Chang's heart couldn't help but rise - he was easily affected by his corpse demon instinct when he possessed Yao Xiu, and his personality became fierce and tyrannical unconsciously. When you encounter any problem, the first thing that comes to mind is to solve it by killing. This is especially true for the living.
The undead's instinctive hatred for the living body really went deep into the bone marrow, and although Huang Chang tried his best to control it, that desire to kill was like a bone appendage, which could never be dissolved. But Wu Lingzi didn't seem to be greatly affected by this desire, and actually suggested that he retreat without hesitation. If it were a real corpse demon, most of them would not agree, and maybe they would beat it up violently - in fact, Huang Chang had a great desire to beat it at this time.
Wu Lingzi himself seemed to be ready to accept this kind of treatment, but Huang Chang still didn't get angry with it after all, his arm shook, and the big sword behind his back was half unsheathed.
"Kill!light!he!!
Hearing the words that burst out of Yao Xiu's mouth, Wu Lingzi was so anxious that he clasped his hands together and shook again and again:
"Yao Daoyou, Brother Yao, Boss Yao, you can't fight, think about itβif you lose, of course we won't have any good fruit to eat; if we win, as long as one of those rabbit cubs slips away, we will definitely gather more people to come over; even if we can kill them all, if they still have relatives and friends behind them, they will inevitably find here." β
"So as long as we get into a fight and attract the attention of others, whether we win or lose, we won't be able to stay here. Brother, I've been wandering around for so many years, and I've seen too many things like this. On the territory of human beings, the best way for our demon clan to survive is not to show their heads, as long as they are discovered, they will be unlucky sooner or later. β
After some painstaking persuasion, it was not easy to see Yao Xiu on the other side slowly loosen the hilt of the sword, and said word by word:
"You...... Treat...... As...... Ho?"
"Let's hide first and hide from the limelight. Anyway, for us, it doesn't matter if we sleep for a month, and those people are foreign monks, so they won't stay in the local area for a long time, and they will leave after a while. β
Listening to what this guy said, it actually made sense, Huang Chang suppressed the killing intent in his heart, turned his head and looked at the catacombs where he set up the Yin Gathering Formation, as well as the catacombs where the Yin Gathering Box was placed-he had considered the issue of secrecy when he set up the formation, the formation itself would not exude spiritual power outward, and the concealment was also very good. In the eyes of passers-by, this is a dilapidated grave, and even if a tomb robber digs it up, he will only see the rotten coffin and rotten bones above, and will not notice that there is something else below.
But after looking at this hiding place for a moment, Huang Chang still shook his head slightly, refusing to hide underground - Yao Xiu's perception ability is too poor, hiding in the Yin Gathering Box, once the enemy is detected, it is a situation of catching a turtle in the urn. He didn't want to fall prey without even a room to resist.
After communicating with Wu Lingzi with gestures and short syllables, the latter understood his concerns. After thinking about it, Wu Lingzi proposed in a rather painful attitude:
"In this way, Yao Daoyou, I have something here, maybe it can help you relieve this worry. β
Huang Chang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, what treasure can you not do if you are a guy who even has a tattered body? But then he saw Wu Lingzi carefully take out something from the hole in his chest cavity and hand it to him. Huang Chang took it and took a look, but it was a strange bug, a bit like a ladybug, but its wings flapped and buzzed, and the sound was similar to that of a fly.
"This is the echo worm, the xenomorph eggs I got in the wild land outside the territory, and I finally cultivated them slowly. Use it to help talk...... I can make a sound normally, and it depends on it. β
Wu Lingzi pointed to his mouth and explained, this solved one of Huang Chang's long-standing doubts - this guy is in a state of rotting corpse in most cases, and his throat and vocal cords have long been rotten. Yao Xiu's complete body can't speak yet, how can it make a sound?
Not to mention that Wu Lingzi often changes his body shell, but after each change, his tone and voice have not changed much - it turns out that he relies on the power of insects. However, the echo worm seems to only replace the role of the vocal cords, and you still have to rely on your mouth to speak, otherwise you won't be able to open your mouth when your jaw drops.
"And if there are more than two of them, they will sense each other. The sound of one can be synchronized with the sound of the other, even if it is miles away, no matter how many barriers there are. β
Wu Lingzi reached into his arms, took out another insect, and then walked away step by step, and disappeared from Huang Chang's field of vision after a while. But the insect that stopped in Yao Xiu's hand suddenly shook its wings and made the same sound as Wu Lingzi:
"Look, that's it...... I've planted a lot of bugs around here, and I can hear it whenever there's a wind or grass. β
After that, the insect really simulated the sounds of many places around it: the wind and grass, the birds chirping, and even the sound of the murmuring of the stream, the burrowing of rats, and the dripping of dew...... It's all simulated very accurately.
"If Yao Daoyou can trust me, you can take an echo worm and hide it below, and I will leave another one on it, if those outsiders dig here, the worm will warn you in time." β
