Chapter 60 Great undertaking? Dream on!
The second elder hurried to the back mountain but was stopped by someone.
"Second Elder, where are you going?"
Batu walked out from the shadows, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly.
The second elder's heart skipped a beat and he looked around. Fortunately, Lao Mu was not there.
He calmed himself down and pretended to be calm, "I'll go check on the people you captured. Don't let anyone get killed or it will cause trouble for the village."
"Don't worry about it." Batu grinned, revealing his uneven yellow teeth, "Mu Lao has his own arrangements. When he and General Dom are done, you will definitely benefit from it..."
"Haha," a cute laugh came from behind the two of them.
"What's the matter? Why don't you tell me about it so I can broaden my horizons!" Xiaobai jumped down from the tree and stood in front of the two men with a smile on his face.
"Who are you?" Batu tried to launch a sneak attack with a dagger in hand, but found himself tightly entangled by dark green vines.
The vines that are seen everywhere in daily life are now extremely tough. The more they struggle, the tighter they become.
"I'm here to save people, and by the way, to kill... people!"
Xiaobai turned his wrist, and the vines directly hung Batu on the tree.
Suddenly, a series of shrieks, louder and louder, came from the back mountain. The sound was like nails scratching on glass, so sharp and piercing that it hurt the eardrums.
"The Gu King has awakened!" Batu was delighted. "Put me down quickly and join me in serving Mu Lao. Maybe we can save our lives."
As he spoke, Batu's eyes became sticky.
"Puff!" Two vines suddenly pierced into his eye sockets.
"If you keep looking at me like that, next time you'll lose more than just your eyeballs!"
Xiaobai said the cruelest words in the sweetest voice.
"You--!" The severe pain made Batu faint.
"Go in and save them!" Tang Jingmo rushed up the mountain with Zhao Xiaohan.
"Comrade, comrade, the Gu King inside has already taken shape. You will only die if you go there!"
The second elder shouted anxiously from behind.
He turned around and grabbed Xiaobai:
"Comrade, I think you are capable. Please persuade your people to leave quickly. It will be too late. The Gu King can eat people!"
"Eat people? No creature has ever dared to eat people in front of me. This is a good opportunity for me to see it for myself!"
Xiaobai dodged the Second Elder's hand and was about to go inside when he heard -
"Second Elder, from the sound of this... it sounds like something that was raised with blood! Lao Mu actually used a forbidden technique!"
The tribesmen who had been discussing the matter earlier also came over, and the one who spoke was the old woman from earlier. At this moment, her face was pale and she seemed very frightened.
"Forbidden technique?" Xiaobai stopped.
"Yes, blood feeding is to feed the Gu King with one's own flesh and blood to achieve blood connection. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a puppet Gu worm that completely obeys people..."
Before the Second Elder finished explaining, there was a loud noise of falling trees in the distance, and a fishy wind blowing dead leaves towards them.
"Oh no! That guy is about to rush out, don't come up!" Xiaobai kicked up his military boots, and his figure flashed out like a ghost, catching up with Tang Jingmo.
Tang Jingmo found the entrance to the cave and kicked open the last rusty iron door.
A fishy smell hit me in the face, a mixture of rotten meat and some kind of herb, which made me feel nauseous.
In the center of the cave lies a constantly twisting snake-shaped object.
Its long body is covered with black scales, each of which has a metallic luster, and its pointed head looks like a pangolin.
Zhao Xiaohan's face turned pale, and he vomited with a "wow", pointed at a pile of things on the ground with trembling fingers and said: "Captain Tang, it's human flesh, and people are feeding it!"
Among the scattered bones on the ground around the cave, there were still some body parts that had not yet decayed. Some were even twitching slightly, as if they were being kept alive by some force.
Xiaobai caught up and took a closer look. He saw that the fragments were clearly covered with black bugs. The so-called twitching was just their surge.
The snake-like monster smelled the scent of strangers and excitedly crawled towards Tang Jingmo and his group.
"Load the bullet, aim at its eyes, and shoot!"
Tang Jingmo has experience in dealing with this kind of mutated animals. Their weak points are often their softest and most fragile eyes.
"Tatta-tatta-tattoo-tattoo"
The bullet whizzed out and hit the snake-shaped monster's eyes accurately.
"hiss--!!"
The monster made a sound that made people's ears sore and their chests feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
The pain made its body twist wildly, its scales scraping against the rock wall, sparks flying everywhere.
Dark red blood dripped from his eyes and splashed on the ground, corroding small pits with a "sizzling" sound.
"Its blood is poisonous, don't get it on you!"
Xiaobai swung out vines and circled around the "Gu King" again and again, trying to tie it up.
However, its skin is stronger than steel and smoother than silk, and the vines only temporarily restrict its movements.
"Haha, my Gu King has finally been trained!"
Wild laughter came from outside the cave, and Mu Lao rushed in excitedly. The totem on his face looked particularly ferocious under the firelight.
His mind and eyes were filled with his masterpiece, and he completely ignored everyone else present.
Xiaobai raised his hand to capture him, but was stopped by Tang Jingmo.
"Don't do anything yet. Let's see how he controls the Gu King. This thing is weird."
Tang Jingmo pulled Xiaobai aside and watched coldly.
Mu Lao walked straight towards the monster and took out a bone flute from his arms.
The sound of a flute rang out, and a strange melody echoed in the cave, which actually allowed the monster to endure the severe pain in its eyes and stop screaming.
It raised its head high, and its injured eyes glowed with a strange red light. It twisted and turned, trying to get closer to Mu Lao, but the vines wrapped around its body made it unable to move.
"Not good!" Tang Jingmo frowned suddenly, his mental power keenly detected the abnormal fluctuations, "Everyone retreat!"
He grabbed Xiaobai and an invisible mental barrier instantly unfolded, protecting Zhao Xiaohan and the others.
Almost at the same time, with a "bang", the beast spit out a black sticky water ball from its mouth!
Mu Lao was the first to be hit and was drenched directly.
"Ah——!" Mu Lao cried out in pain.
When everyone took a closer look, they realized that it was not a water ball at all, but insect pupae formed by countless black insects crammed together, which was shocking.
When the poisonous insects touched Mu Lao's skin, they burrowed into his skin like bees finding a hive.
Mu Lao stood there stiffly, not panicking, but instead showing a strange, satisfied, and crazy smile.
"Come on, use my flesh and blood as a sacrifice to welcome the birth of the strongest Gu King!"
The poisonous insects were wriggling under his skin, making his skin bulge and sunken, giving people goose bumps.
"Burn him to death quickly, don't let the blood sacrifice succeed!" The second elder stood outside with a torch in one hand and a bucket of diesel in the other.
Xiaobai's eyes turned cold. He rolled up the diesel and poured it on Mu Lao. At this time, the snake-like monster was already entangled with Mu Lao.
"Torch!"
Xiaobai shouted, and the second elder immediately threw it over.
"Boom!" It exploded instantly.
Xiaobai rolled up dead branches and leaves and twisted them into a huge "matchstick", and kept adding fuel to the fire to make the fire burn brighter!
In the blazing fire, the beast's body was actually expanding! Elder Mu was also swallowed into its stomach.
"Second Elder, is there any other way to stop it besides fire attack?"
Tang Jingmo asked calmly. He could see that the fire attack could only temporarily stop the Gu King's ability to move, but could not kill it.
"Use the bone flute to insert into the Gu King's vital point!" the second elder roared.
"Jing Mo, you are responsible for the fire attack, and I will control the bone flute." Xiaobai controlled the vines to roll up the bone flute on the ground and stabbed the monster straight in the seven inches!
“Hiss—!”
The monster let out a scream of death, mixed with Mu Lao's unwilling howls.
Tang Jingmo took the opportunity to increase the firepower, and the flames illuminated the entire cave.
