Chapter 7: Ghost Shadow Centipede

Gulong Town faces west is the Scorpion Mountains, and to the south are the Wanlong Mountains and the Golden Tooth Mountains, because the air flow in the north is very turbulent, and it is very difficult to control the flight of the magic weapon, and the flight speed of ordinary disciples during the Qi training period is only at most the second-level wind speed (half an hour and sixty miles), so the average monk will choose to ride a car or a horse.

Ye Shengying and Lu Xiaojia both had horses, and Xie Ling also bought horses from the shopkeeper, and the three of them went hand in hand, and it didn't take long to see the Scorpio Mountain Range opposite.

This is the belly of the whole mountain range, the mountains are wide and fat, and the dark green trees are connected together, and the higher you go, the darker the color, much more compact and dense than the Golden Tooth Mountains!

It took another half an hour for the three of them to reach the foot of the mountain, Xie Ling saw that the southeast side of the mountain range was flying with dust, the whole sky was gray, and there was a faint flash of lightning, and he said in his heart that it was the rumored 'Yin Cracked Sand Domain', one of the seven Jedi of the Xuanwu Realm!

There are few people in the Scorpion Mountain Range, and although the middle abdomen is not as poisonous as the needletail where the Absolute Poison Sect is located, it is not comparable to other places. But if you think it's safe in the air, you're wrong. You can find at least three of the top ten fierce birds in the Xuanwu Realm here, if it weren't for the group marching together, no monk below Jindan would dare to control the magic weapon and fly away from the air. On the contrary, the mountain is relatively safe, at least it will not become a target for those birds of prey!

The three men let go of their horses and went into the mountains. Xie Ling vaguely remembered that his mother Xia Pan was holding his little hand, and it was from here that he started to walk towards the Poison Sect step by step. He was tired, and his mother held him on his body, and he didn't know how many thorns had scratched his shirt on the rugged mountain road, how hard it would be for his mother to have a spiritual root, he thought about it, and his eyes were moist unconsciously.

Lu Xiaojia said strangely: "Brother Xia, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, the wind and sand just got into my eyes!" Xie Ling said as he wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

"Everyone, be careful, the front is the area that ghost centipedes like to go in, it's best to activate the light shield body!" Ye Shengying's voice came out from the front.

Lu Xiaojia knew the power of the ghost shadow centipede, and when he heard this, his gaze was withdrawn from Xie Ling's face, looked ahead, and released his divine sense, and a faint layer of black light shield appeared around his body, becoming extremely cautious.

Xie Ling had limited knowledge of this aspect, and seeing their solemn expressions, he asked, "Why is it called 'Ghost Shadow Centipede'?"

"They usually hide in the shadows and stare at you like ghosts. As you pass by, it will crawl into your clothes along your feet while you are not noticing. Their upper jaws are like razors, which can tear through the shell of a pangolin, and when bitten by it, they will first feel paralyzed all over their body, and then their heartbeat will intensify and they will gradually lose consciousness. And in the process, all the ghost centipedes around you will swarm and crawl onto you, and eat you alive under your gaze one bite at a time!" Lu Xiaojia said at the end, and suddenly made a tooth and claw gesture towards Xie Ling beside him.

"Babbling 61616161 it's not fun at all, I've said so much, you're not afraid!" she saw that Xie Ling was not frightened, and pouted and waved her hand.

Ye Shengying couldn't help but smile in front of him: "Brother Ruoxia was so frightened by you, how dare you enter this reckless jungle with us alone." He turned his head and said to Xie Ling: "But what she said is not wrong, those guys are very ghostly, don't let them get involved, otherwise it will be very troublesome." ”

"Well, I see!" Xie Ling also activated the body protection light shield, and swept the surroundings with his divine sense, and sure enough, he found that there was something lurking under some dead leaves, which should be the ghost shadow centipede they were talking about.

"The ghost shadow centipede is generally not of a high level, it is rare to see a third level or above, the first and second levels are only an inch long, and every time they advance to the first level in the future, the body will double, it is said that this guy will be sixteen inches long after reaching the sixth level, and give birth to a pair of wings, good at changing, the speed is surprisingly fast, and there are almost no other spirit insects of the same level that can surpass it in a short distance!" Ye Shengying paused and then continued: " However, the single attack power of ghost shadow centipedes below the third level is still limited, they are only an inch long, and ordinary body protection light shields can block them, as long as you pay careful attention, this area is not terrifying. ”

Xie Ling frowned, and suddenly stopped: "Sixteen inches is the sixth level, and the fifth level is eight inches, if you encounter the fifth level ghost shadow centipede?"

"If it's a fifth-level ghost shadow centipede, then we're in trouble! because they always advance and retreat together as a male and female, or none, or at least two, and they have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and can lock on to all creatures within a mile of them. Ye Shengying said this, stopped and looked at Xie Ling suspiciously, "Brother Xia, is it 6161616161?"

"Looks like we're in trouble!" Xie Ling sighed and nodded.

Lu Xiaojia raised her eyes to look at him, blinked and said, "You're not scaring me, are you?"

Xie Ling smiled and said nothing, but Lu Xiaojia felt panicked in her heart, she knew much more about the power of the fifth-level ghost shadow centipede than Xie Ling.

Ye Shengying looked ahead with an unusually ugly face at this time and said, "I also hope that he is scaring you, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be!"

Lu Xiaojia finally heard the rustling sound, and from far and near in the dense forest, he was rapidly approaching this side. And almost at the same time, the things that were originally quiet lurking under the rotten roots of the dead trees also began to respond, and the rustling sound sounded all around, and even Xie Ling, who had been smiling all the time, began to become solemn!

"How is it possible, how can a fifth-level ghost shadow centipede appear here!" Ye Shengying muttered.

The ghost shadow centipede is a very peculiar spirit worm, they can only advance in the natural environment, and it is impossible to do it by trying to raise it artificially. They don't change their bodies until they reach level six. Starting from the third level, their bodies will double in size every time they advance to the next level, which means that they need to consume a lot of blood food during this period, and their huge bodies that cannot change are exposed, and they are very easy to become the prey of some natural predators, and they are often hunted before they advance to the next level!

In this area, in addition to the ghost shadow centipede, there is also a spirit beast called the weasel. It has thick hair all over its body, and has a natural resistance to the poison of ghost shadow centipedes, and generally lives in places where ghost shadow centipedes gather and feeds on them. They are very good at controlling and only hunting ghost shadow centipedes above level two, and rarely allow them to advance to level three or above, let alone level five!

The fifth-level ghost shadow centipede was nearly a foot long, and at this time, two red-headed and green-backed centipedes appeared on the ground not far from the three of them, one on the left and one on the right, and the two front whiskers kept swinging back and forth, and there were actually eight black eyes as small as mung beans on the flat head!

"It's really a fifth-level 'ghost shadow centipede'!" Lu Xiaojia said when he saw it.
