Chapter 44: The Uninvited Guest VI
The drizzle was swaying, and the fire on the high platform was suddenly bright and dark. As the colorful flying insects rushed overwhelmingly, the surrounding killing shouts immediately stopped, and in exchange for the cheers of the Miro people. At this time, Abigail waved his arms and shouted: "The thieves of the Immortal Hall, let's see if your big sword is powerful or my Gu worms are powerful!"
He shouted so loudly that the hundreds of Miluo people who were still fighting with He Erniang and others seemed to be able to understand his Central Plains dialect, and they retreated to the bottom of the high platform with a tacit understanding, and distanced themselves from He Erniang and his group.
The man in front of me and I also retreated. In the confrontation just now, these Miro men led by Abigail can be said to be desperate, but there are brave soldiers without soldiers, but the casualties are very large, and the two sides have distanced themselves like this, and there are as many as two or three hundred corpses on the ground, almost all of them are members of their Miro tribe.
The earth seemed to be dyed red, and the rain mixed with it to form puddles, and then condensed into streams down the mountain.
The red fireworks signal in the sky has completely dimmed. The firelight swaying in the wind on the high platform shone on He Erniang and the others, which was cool and dark. He Erniang's face was solemn at this time, and there were a lot of blood stains on her body, a knife seemed to have just been fished out of the blood pool, and the tip of the knife was still dripping with blood.
I didn't have time to see He Erniang's group, I just stood next to a Miluo tribesman, and in an instant, a group of colorful insects like a wave flew over. These colored insects are not flying very high, only five feet away from the top of our heads, I can already see clearly, I can see that these colored insects are only half the size of a palm, and the two pairs of bright wings on their bodies are like Cai'e, and the head is a human head skeleton that has shrunk I don't know how many times!
What kind of Gu worm is this? I can't help but be amazed, their wings can be said to be extremely bright and beautiful, but one bag is hideous, but it looks extremely demonic. There were so many of them, it seemed like there were tens of thousands, they couldn't be counted, and they flew over our heads, and the wind from which their wings flapped was filled with the stench of rot.
These insects flew out of the wooden box on the high platform, so the seven women who died earlier were also eaten by these insects, right? I don't know how powerful this Gu worm is, but those women rushed into the wooden box and were eaten away without even a bone left, thinking that they were also extremely ferocious.
At this time, the colored insects had flown to the vicinity of He Erniang, and I saw He Erniang on the opposite side flick the big knife, and his body was already full of energy, and he shouted: "Formation!"
It was too late, it was too fast, and before she could say a word, a group of Immortal Hall disciples behind her suddenly let out a low roar, and nearly a hundred people gathered in a circle, and their energy suddenly swung out from among them.
There were a hundred and ten of them, and in front of the tide of Gu worms, the number was really pitiful. But as soon as they formed a formation, the energy they gathered was like a wide curtain, enveloping them all.
It's a knife formation!
My eyes widened. Similar to this kind of formation, I have seen it many times, at the foot of the Kunlun Sect Mountain, Changfeng and a few other disciples have used a sword formation, but that time the Changfeng formation is a tangible sword qi, but the sword formation formed by He Erniang and these people is purely a barrier condensed by qi. Can the formation still have such power? I've never seen this, and I've never heard Han Xiao talk about it. The strength was propped up, and even the rain around them was dispersed, making He Erniang and the group of them look like they were hiding in a strong fortress.
Almost at the same time, the Gu worms in the sky were like a monstrous tide, and they suddenly pounced into the condensed knife formation of He Erniang's group. Although there are many Gu worms, the knife formation formed by He Erniang and the others is also extremely strong, as soon as the Gu worms pounce on it, they are immediately blocked from the barrier condensed by the energy, and in an instant, He Erniang's group of people are surrounded by water, and at first glance, a colorful hill bag has formed outside them.
The sound of killing shook the sky, the insects were raging, and for a while, the wind and rain on that side were agitated, the momentum was vertical and horizontal, rolling like a big mess, and I couldn't see what it looked like inside.
No matter how superb He Erniang's martial arts were, they were surrounded by thousands of Gu worms, and it was difficult to get out. My heart was beating when I saw it, Rao is that I have also personally experienced the situation of being surrounded by Gu worms, but standing on the sidelines and watching, I still can't help but palpitate, now He Erniang and the others are still resisting, if it is replaced by someone who has not cultivated internal strength, wouldn't it be that there will be no bones left in the blink of an eye?
And this scene caused the surrounding Miluo people to let out a burst of cheers, as if in their opinion, He Erniang's group of people would soon be eaten up by these Gu worms. It's just that although He Erniang and the others were surrounded by Gu worms, there was still knife qi rushing out of the array, this kind of knife qi was much thicker than the knife qi wielded by a single person, every time they rushed out of the insect circle, they could always cut down a piece of Gu worms, and only for a while, there were already a lot of broken insect corpses on the ground.
I couldn't help but take a breath and turn my head to look at Zabal on the high platform. It probably takes some energy to summon so many Gu worms, Zabal was already covered in sweat at this time, and his wrinkled old face was a little pale, but his eyes were staring at the front, and his hands were still crossed in front of his chest.
Could it be that this is how the wizards of the Western Regions use their Gu magic?" I thought silently.
His appearance was somewhat similar to Shanping and Li Yanzong of the Shang Boyu clan, but compared to the two of them, Zabal seemed to have a more difficult time casting Gu techniques. Su Qingyao once said that raising Gu worms needs to be fed by the wizard's own essence and blood, and when the Gu worms reach adulthood, the wizard can control them and call them around. Maybe there are too many Gu worms this time, even Zabal is a little unbearable.
But whether it was Zabar, Shanping, or Li Yanzong, the whispers of their witchcraft, or the cross-stamping of their hands on their chests, and the evil behavior of street warlocks asking gods to summon ghosts, all seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery, and I really couldn't figure it out. How a person can command hundreds or even tens of thousands of Gu worms with these actions alone is simply unimaginable, but the facts are in front of me, and I can't believe it. In the bottom of my heart, I only say that people like wizards are indeed not simple.
At this time, He Erniang's group was still desperately resisting. The circle of colored Gu worms around them seemed to have shrunk a lot, and I don't know if it was because they had killed a lot of Gu worms, or because the people inside were difficult to support the dead and injured, there were too many Gu worms, and I couldn't see the situation in the formation clearly, but the ground outside the formation was covered with a thick layer of Gu worm limbs, and the rancid smell was like a morning mist, so thick that people couldn't breathe.
These dead Gu worms alone are nearly 10,000 people, right?
The cheers around have not yet fallen.
I was watching, and suddenly, a piercing sound came from the bottom of the mountain. I was taken aback, and turned my head to look, only to see a dark green beam of light flashing from the bottom of the mountain, and with a "boom", it was rushing into the swarm of Gu worms.
There were already countless Gu worms, and He Erniang's group seemed to be surrounded by a mountain, and the speed of the green beam was not fast, and it exploded as soon as it rushed into the insect mountain, accompanied by a circle of energy ripples. Immediately after, a green and overcast firework suddenly lit up from the pile of insects.
This situation is like a fierce fire oil touching a torch, as soon as the green flame lights up, the time suddenly bursts, and the flame seems to come to life, and it spreads directly to the Gu worms that are still surrounding He Erniang and the others.
As soon as those thousands of Gu worms saw this kind of green and yin fireworks, they seemed to have seen something terrible, and they suddenly broke away from the battle group, "buzzed", and scattered and fled in all directions to the sky. But the green flames spread too fast, those Gu insects were already dense, but whenever they touched it, they were burned by the green flames, even if the insect swarm immediately dispersed, there were still nearly half of the Gu insects affected by the green flames.
Low in the sky, it seems that a patch of green stars is scattered, dotted with stars.
Under the high stage, there was silence for a moment. This time, Abigail and the Miro people could no longer scream, and everyone was a little stunned. But my heart trembled, where do I still not recognize it? That green firework, isn't it rotting corpses or something?
Driven away by Green Flame like this, the remaining Gu worms seemed to lose their direction all of a sudden, scurrying blindly in the air. The domineering nature of the carrion corpses, even the fish-headed monsters in the death swamp are difficult to resist for a while, no matter how hideous the Gu worms are, once they are burned by the rotting corpses, they can't even be watered, they can only wait for death.
At this time, Zabal on the high platform suddenly shouted, and stomped a few times on the high platform with his right foot, and the broken words in his mouth became a little more anxious, and when his voice turned straight, he raised one hand and suddenly pointed to the wooden box beside him.
Zabal didn't seem to be having a good time now, the Gu worm was injured by the green flame, and he seemed to have been struck by lightning, his face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling. It seemed like he had been attacked by witchcraft. But it's also strange, as soon as he pointed at this, the Gu worms that were still on the top of He Erniang's group of people turned around and rushed towards the high platform, and in just one breath, swarms of Gu worms rushed into the row of wooden boxes like a fish.
