Chapter 391 Puppet
"Stone Spirit?"
The High Priest Youquan's eyes focused, and his spirit instantly reached its peak.
Rumor has it that the Shiling clan are not very smart, but have extremely bad tempers and get angry at the slightest provocation. He is in this state now and doesn't want to get into trouble.
However, the more he didn't want trouble, the more trouble came to him.
Seeing him curled up on the ground motionless, the stone carving immediately became bolder and curiously circled around the remaining soul of the High Priest of Youquan for a few times. Suddenly, it grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Hey, here comes a new guy!"
The sound of the stone carvings was sharp and piercing, and was particularly clear in the silence of the Shenhuang Cave.
High Priest Youquan thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to ask the stone spirit to stay away from him, but he saw the stone spirit suddenly jump and rush towards his residual soul.
"Fuck!"
The High Priest of Youquan shouted in panic.
He wanted to dodge, but his remaining soul was so weak at this moment that he could not move flexibly at all. He could only watch the stone carving crash into him.
"ah!"
The High Priest of Youquan let out a terrifying scream.
Although Shi Ke did not use any magic power, the powerful force caused his remaining soul to be shaken again, causing him great pain.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"
The High Priest of Youquan roared angrily.
But the stone carving didn't pay any attention to his roar, instead it opened its pig mouth and bit him fiercely!
"Woo! Let me go!"
The High Priest Youquan struggled frantically in Shan Gao's mouth.
"Pah! Pah!"
The stone carving curiously held his remnant soul in its mouth and shook it back and forth, as if it was playing with a new toy.
"Fun, fun! How did you offend that guy? Also, open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am not a stone spirit!"
The stone carving grinned with a pig-like mouth, his face full of excitement.
The High Priest Youquan was stunned and looked at the stone carving in a daze.
A pig?
wrong!
This is not a stone spirit at all, it is clearly a rock sculpture of gypsum!
It’s still a very spiritual mountain goat!
What does this indicate?
This shows that this mountain monster must have been very powerful when it was alive, so much so that its spirit could be transformed into a stone carving and remain in the world forever.
The High Priest Youquan woke up instantly.
But at the same time, a feeling of despair surged in my heart.
He didn't expect that he would be tortured by this mountain beast again after just escaping Huo Qinghuang's punishment.
In his current state, he was unable to resist and could only let the other party control him.
Outside the cave, Huo Qinghuang patted the non-existent dust on his palms, and his eyes swept around the tomb, finally landing on a huge bronze coffin.
"I guess this must be the coffin of the Marquis of Changping. Was he proficient in witchcraft when he was alive? Interesting."
A hint of interest flashed in Huo Qinghuang's eyes, and she turned on her toes and walked towards the huge bronze coffin.
She walked slowly, and the ground shook with every step she took.
When she arrived in front of the coffin, the entire huge bronze coffin was shaking, as if something was about to rush out of it.
"open."
Huo Qinghuang shouted softly, and the bronze coffin lid opened.
What lay in the coffin was not a corpse, but a pitch-black puppet with seven bone nails inserted in its chest, which were engraved with strange runes.
"A substitute puppet?"
Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow: "It seems that this Changping Marquis is more cunning than I thought."
She reached out to touch the puppet, and suddenly a cold wind blew.
The puppet suddenly opened its eyes, and seven bone nails flew out at the same time, heading straight for Huo Qinghuang's face!
"It's just a trifle."
Huo Qinghuang sneered, waved her jade hand, and the bone nails turned into powder in the air.
At this moment, the entire tomb began to shake violently, and Lin Xuan's panicked voice came from a distance: "Qing Huang! Come out quickly! The tomb is about to collapse!"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes narrowed, he glanced at the puppet in the huge bronze coffin, and suddenly reached out and grabbed it!
Then she swayed slightly, and turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the tomb.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Huo Qinghuang stood still, she heard a loud bang behind her.
The tomb collapsed!
Huo Qinghuang stood in the smoke and dust, holding the black puppet tightly in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
The puppet was still struggling, making shrill screams.
Huo Qinghuang squeezed the puppet impatiently, and it started to make crackling sounds.
"If you keep arguing, I'll destroy you!"
She shouted coldly, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes.
The puppet was probably very sensitive to the smell and immediately became quiet.
"Qing Huang, are you okay?"
Lin Xuan ran over anxiously, looking Huo Qinghuang up and down, her eyes full of concern.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head slightly: "I'm fine, how about you?"
"We're fine too."
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Why did the tomb collapse? It was calm outside, there was no movement at all."
"Maybe it has something to do with it."
Huo Qinghuang shook the still struggling puppet in his hand, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
"What's this?"
Lin Xuan came over curiously, but the next moment she suddenly screamed.
"Bugs! There are bugs in its eyes!"
She jumped eight feet away in an instant, pointed at the puppet with trembling fingers, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
"Um?"
Huo Qinghuang picked up the puppet and looked at its eyes carefully.
Upon seeing this, she discovered that the body of the puppet was actually inhabited by various poisonous insects, and many larvae were born every moment.
She actually thought that the spirit of Marquis Changping was still there, and was ready to find him out and interrogate him.
Unexpectedly, this puppet was completely controlled by various poisonous insects, which made her happy for nothing.
It was also my fault that I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to see it clearly, so I brought this puppet into the human world.
"It is better for such evil creatures not to stay in the world and harm people."
Huo Qinghuang curled her lips in disdain, muttered softly, and then slapped the puppet.
“Bang!”
The puppet was instantly shattered into pieces, and countless poisonous insects crawled out of the broken puppet, squirming densely on the ground, making a creepy "rustling" sound.
When Lin Xuan saw this scene, her face turned pale instantly. She screamed again and hid behind Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of disgust and vigilance.
He quickly raised the Bagua mirror, ready to deal with the attack of these poisonous insects.
“It’s so disgusting!”
Huo Qinghuang shrank her neck, feeling extremely disgusted by the bugs all over the ground.
She originally wanted to kill the poisonous insects with one palm, but who knew that these things had existed for quite a while and had some strength, so she was unable to kill them in such a hurry.
"Forget it, I'll just send the Buddha to the west. Who says I have a kind heart?"
Huo Qinghuang curled her lips, then suddenly opened her mouth and spit out a ball of green flame, which fell into the pile of poisonous insects.
This is the Golden Core True Fire that she recently cultivated. It is not as good as the Phoenix Divine Fire, but it can be used at any time without wasting divine blood.
“Chichi!”
When the poisonous insect came into contact with the golden elixir's true fire, white smoke instantly came out and it turned into ashes in an instant.
"this……"
Lin Xuan looked at this scene in shock, her face pale, "Where did this puppet come from?"
Huo Qinghuang clapped his hands, his expression indifferent: "Inside the coffin, it seems that this Changping Marquis is indeed not a good person."
