"No, this trick doesn't work. It's not a problem with the technique!" The other cultivators who had their techniques destroyed were all heartbroken. If they had known this earlier, they would not have listened to that man's nonsense.
The Scorpion King's face darkened slightly, and he crossed his palms. A scorpion totem appeared behind him, and a large amount of poisonous mist scattered towards the nematodes. The hearts that were contaminated by the poison were drowned, and they instantly twitched all over, shrank rapidly, and were corroded by the venom.
However, those monks who were possessed by the nematodes were able to control the nematodes and command them to surround everyone.
The few wandering monks closest to the main hall entrance tried to escape, but they saw their companions with stiff expressions, sinister eyes, and big white teeth bared, looking at them greedily.
Several wandering cultivators felt inexplicably frightened and couldn't help but retreat defensively.
They saw a large number of nematodes quickly emerge from the bodies of their companions who blocked their way. In the blink of an eye, the whole person shrank into a complete human skin and piled on the ground. A large number of nematodes surrounded them and drilled into their bodies at an extremely fast speed.
Ye Qingzhu immediately looked at Leng Qingning, who was still on the shelf. His tone changed slightly, and he shouted anxiously, "Junior Sister Leng, come back quickly!"
Leng Qingning stood high up, taking in everyone's expressions. She even witnessed the cultivators' failed attempts to burn their cultivation techniques. She hadn't expected that her previous methods would be ineffective. These nematodes seemed to have gained intelligence and were becoming even more difficult to deal with.
The entire floor of the hall was covered with nematodes, but there was not a single nematode on the surrounding bookshelves.
Leng Qingning immediately shouted to Ye Qingzhu and the others, "Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Bai, everyone, come up like me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu and the others looked towards her. There was not a single nematode on the shelf. Not only that, there were no nematodes on the surrounding bookshelves. It seemed that these worms could not climb high. The exhausted cultivators who had already fought with these nematodes also followed Leng Qingning's example and climbed up the bookshelf.
Leng Qingning's voice did not hide from others, and the monks followed her example and climbed up the bookshelf. Fortunately, the palace was very spacious and the bookshelves were also very large. In a blink of an eye, the surviving monks had filled the bookshelves.
The remaining monks who didn't make it up could only climb up the surrounding white pillars with mosasaur carvings, panting and feeling a little tired.
After climbing up, they hurriedly stuffed pills into their mouths to recuperate.
Only fifty or so dazed monks and the densely packed black nematodes on the ground were left. They all raised their heads, hunched their bodies, and looked at them in unison with their gazes fixed on them.
Everyone was horrified to discover that the nematodes' postures matched those of the fifty-odd monks. They wore strange, stiff smiles, looking at him as if they were seeing the most delicious delicacy in the world, eager to devour them alive.
Everyone, including Leng Qingning, felt a creepy fear as if they were being stared at by thousands of greedy eyes.
The piles of nematodes on the ground opened their mouths towards the people on the bookshelves and pillars. The fifty or so monks opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something to them. However, when they opened their mouths, what was revealed was not their teeth and tongues, but a mouthful of nematodes that kept drilling out and shaking their bodies.
"Ugh—" The monks with fragile psychological endurance could no longer hold back and vomited.
"Oh my God, what the hell are these? How can we get rid of them?"
Chu Xiangyu was closer to Leng Qingning and the others. He looked at the group of cultivators on the ground who could no longer be called 'humans' and said, "These nematodes are controlled by these fifty or so people. How about we try to get rid of them?"
Mo Yunfei of the Goddess Sect frowned with worry. Glancing down, she said with some trepidation, "But Senior Brother Chu, how are we going to get rid of them? After all, we've all climbed up here now!"
This is an extremely dangerous thing. If you fail accidentally, the consequences will be extremely heavy. The best way is to use talisman paper, thunder bombs or hidden weapons.
The most important thing is that a few days ago, because of those men in black, they had basically used up all the talisman paper, formation plates and thunder bombs they could use.
As for hidden weapons, they are an unrighteous means for cultivators. Few cultivators on the mainland are willing to use hidden weapons, let alone practice them, so they are expected to use hidden weapons to deal with these people.
Leng Qingning held the lead in his hand, calculating at which angle he could reach the farthest distance and eliminate these fifty-odd people while ensuring his own safety.
"Senior Sister, how should we deal with these people? Are we going to hide here forever?"
Looking at the fifty or so people staring at them with dull expressions and sinister eyes, as well as the piles of nematodes half-bowed towards them, Zhai Qianqian felt inexplicably creepy.
Mo Yunfei couldn't help but sigh when she saw this. She was also anxious, but seeing these things, they were very patient and didn't seem like they would leave easily.
"Miss Leng, when are you going to take action?" Chu Xiangyu's voice suddenly came from above her head. Leng Qingning couldn't help but open her mouth wide and looked up in surprise. She saw the disciples of Penglai Sect showing their big white teeth and smiling at her foolishly.
Leng Qingning: "..." When did this group of people get to her?
What a beautiful junior sister! She is even prettier than Yu Tianshuang from their sect.
"Everyone's spirit has not fully recovered yet. Let's wait and see what happens. I always feel that things are not that simple." Leng Qingning said this because the depressed feeling in her heart was gone.
"Okay." Chu Xiangyu actually agreed with his point of view, which surprised her.
"Look quickly, what's happening to them?" Hearing Murong Shang's urgent tone, Leng Qingning immediately looked at the fifty or so figures below.
Suddenly, a large number of nematodes emerged from their bodies, and the originally intact human skin began to stink and rot in the blink of an eye.
The piles of nematodes suddenly hunched over, shaking in piles. The fifty or so people began to shed their skins one after another. The large number of nematodes that emerged began to rot bit by bit.
The entire hall was suddenly filled with an extremely unpleasant smell of decay and rotten meat. The human bodies piled on the ground quickly combusted spontaneously. Several other people possessed by nematodes suddenly screamed loudly, and flames instantly ignited from their bodies.
They reluctantly stretched out their hands covered with nematodes and grabbed at the bookshelf in mid-air, "Ahhh!——"
After half an hour, all the nematodes on the ground spontaneously combusted without their hosts.
