Chapter 302: Southeast (2)
The white worm had hundreds of eyes on its back, all of which opened in an instant, and turned its eyeballs to stare at Luo Xuanyi.
It slowly raised its mouth, shaking out a mouthful of golden pine. It aimed its golden mouth at the falling Luo Xuanyi, blew out a breath gently, and chanted again.
"I'm so hungry..."
Its gaping maw revealed a deep abyss of pure gold. Once one gazed upon it, greed would surge within them. But Luo Xuanyi wouldn't fall for this trick a second time. Using her death energy, she attempted to grab the caller and throw him inside, but she missed.
The caller had unknowingly let go of his hand and was falling into the abyss with a silly smile on his face.
"So much gold! Wonderful!"
Luo Xuanyi covered her face.
A mist of green smoke rose from Luo Xuanyi's sleeves, transforming into eight fake stars that disappeared into the clouds. The stars shifted, and the formation took shape. Luo Xuanyi, already adept at this, thrust the formation directly into the white worm's body!
Eight intricate golden threads slowly emerged from its snow-white body. The threads intertwined to form a beautiful pattern, easily capturing the white worm's soul.
The white worm, which was about to close its mouth to swallow the caller, suddenly froze. Its huge body, with its soul taken away, shook and fell to the ground with a bang.
The fat body lost control and fell directly to the side of the mountain. Five or six mountains were crushed in an instant, and flying rocks splashed like meteors and smashed through the surrounding mountains!
The white worm rolled down the mountain again, slamming heavily onto the ground. The ground suddenly cracked, and a huge crack directly broke through the mountain on the other side. With just this one giant worm falling, the area within a ten-mile radius was immediately reduced to ruins!
“Wooooaaaaah!”
"roar!"
Several flocks of flying birds were startled, and many beast roars broke out one after another. Waves of inexplicable and strange aura came from the crushed mountain, carrying extreme anger.
We can't stay here for long! Luo Xuanyi immediately picked up the caller who was drooling on the fat worm and touching the gold with a silly smile, stepped directly on the white worm's body and leaped towards the southeast!
"Oh! Gold, gold, hey, hey—my, my gold! my gold!"
In the chaos, Luo Xuanyi didn't care about the caller's miserable cries, and used all the speed talismans she had collected without hesitation, without stopping for a moment.
After escaping two hundred miles from the white worm's body and making sure that he could not hear any sound behind him and that no spirit beasts or demon beasts were chasing him, Luo Xuanyi slowed down his pace and found a shady place in the mountains, where he threw the crying and rolling Huzhe to the ground.
"Woo woo, my gold, give it back to me, you bastard Bo Huixiao! Gold..."
Fake stars twinkled in the sky. Although the Soul-Falling Formation in the Interworld captured the souls of spiritual beasts, it was still functioning normally.
Luo Xuanyi didn't intend to waste time filling in the story to kill white bugs.
Gathering the formation flag back in her hand, Luo Xuanyi felt the white worm's soul returning to its body. She didn't think the white worm had the ability to come and kill her immediately.
The spiritual beasts in the nearby mountains are probably enough for it to fight to the death.
The body can only be harmed after the soul has returned, and the white worm's soul needs a period of confusion to adapt to the body. I hope those spirit beasts will fight for their courage and besiege the land more effectively.
Luo Xuanyi put away the battle flag and finally had time to check on the caller. As she approached, she heard him still mumbling, "Woo, my gold..."
?
No way?
Luo Xuanyi forced Huzhe's old face, which was full of wrinkles and filled with tears, to turn around. Looking at his unfocused eyes and the snot flowing into his mouth, she showed a rare look of shock.
"So you're not being stupid, you're really confused?"
The caller didn't respond to Luo Xuanyi's words. He sobbed and stared at his own skinny hands, as if savoring the feeling of holding gold, but his empty hands only caught the tears that kept dripping down.
"Woof!"
A gentle breeze blew, and as the moon set, the skinny dog on its back leaped off, barking, and ran to the caller's side. With its ears pricked up, it circled the caller several times, barking repeatedly in an attempt to attract his attention. But it was all in vain.
Luo Xuanyi withdrew her hands and wiped them casually on her sleeves, then carefully recalled how she felt when she faced Jinshan just now.
She had only been tempted by greed for a moment, and then she felt a sense of disobedience for her own unspiritual greed. From being bewitched to waking up, it took only two or three breaths, but she had never expected that the caller would be so deeply trapped.
Could it be that the caller actually loves gold, and the temptation of the white worm accidentally aroused his deepest greed, so the caller can't extricate himself and can't wake up?
Just as Luo Xuanyi was guessing, the skinny dog angrily bit Huzhe's head, and several streams of blood spurted out immediately, but Huzhe remained unmoved and let the blood flow all over his face.
The skinny dog was helpless now. It walked up to Luo Xuanyi with its head down, wrapped its tail around her ankle, and cuddled it against her foot, sighing.
“Woof…”
Longyue came over with a somewhat unhappy look and lay on Luo Xuanyi's other foot. The two of them pressed Luo Xuanyi down, so she had no choice but to stand still. She glanced at Huzhe's bleeding head and asked Shougou, "Is the injury okay?"
The skinny dog shook its head, wanting to bark but sighing. Without the caller to act as an interpreter, it was impossible for it to communicate with Luo Xuanyi.
If they could communicate, perhaps they could get some information from the skinny dog to unravel the greedy illusion in the caller.
"Oh right," Luo Xuanyi suddenly realized, "you once had a human form. So, do you still remember how to write?"
The skinny dog raised his head with a start, and then doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Woof?"
Guessing what it was thinking, Luo Xuanyi spread out her hands: "If you wrote words from ten thousand years ago, I might be able to understand them. At least give it a try."
It pondered for a moment, then stood up, searching for a flat, weed-free spot nearby, and began to draw with its front paws. Luo Xuanyi picked up Longyue and set her aside, then stood over to watch it write.
Each stroke was intricately drawn, and even though it was written with a canine foot, the brushstrokes were still powerful. From this, it can be seen that the skinny dog must have a good hand in calligraphy.
However, Luo Xuanyi had learned classical Chinese on her own and had figured out the stroke order herself. Just watching Shou Gou write couldn't immediately tell what the character was. She waited quietly by the side.
Luo Xuanyi finished writing the four words in one breath and then read them out.
"The one who called is an idiot."
Luo Xuanyi and Shou Gou laughed together. Shou Gou was reluctant to erase the four words and started writing on the side.
"The caller must have fallen into an illusion, but I don't know what the illusion is exactly. Do you know?"
The skinny dog wrote quickly, and when it looked at Luo Xuanyi, there was a look of genuine confusion on its face. Luo Xuanyi immediately reacted.
The White Worm's illusion of greed presumably stems from the caster's own desire for gold. Luo Xuanyi, however, was only slightly interested in gold, and thus quickly escaped the illusion. Meanwhile, Skinny Dog possessed absolutely no desire for gold, silver, or other valuables.
"Illusions arouse people's greed for gold."
Luo Xuanyi's words immediately made the skinny dog understand. He was so angry that his few remaining hairs stood up, and he started scrabbling. After calming down, the skinny dog finally began to explain to Luo Xuanyi.
