Chapter 113 Dagger Insert the Dagger into the Leg
The scorching flames made the maggots afraid to move forward, and they made strange roars inside.
But the fire circle did not trap them for long. A maggot walked towards the fire circle, and the flames quickly engulfed its body, and it did a move that no one present expected.
It just lay on the ground motionless, and then the second and third maggots also lay next to this maggot. As these three maggots moved, the remaining maggots walked forward and pressed on this maggot.
In this way, the maggots used their bodies to pave a path in the pile of maggots.
"Aruan." Lu Jingchuan threw a bottle to Qin Yuqing, then drew his sword and said with a cold look, "They are all dead."
After hearing Lu Jingchuan's words, the others reacted and took out their weapons.
"Jingchuan, these things are not right." Qin Yuqing took the bottle, opened it, poured all the liquid into the quiver containing long arrows, and then pulled out the long arrows and aimed them at the maggots.
"It feels like being manipulated. Everyone, be careful."
The maggots that broke through the fire circle did not rush towards Qin Yuqing this time, but instead rushed towards the largest carriage.
"Mommy, eat mommy."
I don’t know who among these maggots spoke first, but then, a uniform sound rang out.
"Eat mom, replace mom, become mom."
When everyone heard Zi Chong's words, their hair stood on end and they unconsciously moved closer to the largest carriage.
Li Muyan sat in front of the carriage. Although his hands were shaking, he remained calm and looked sharply at the approaching maggots.
The experiences of these days have made him mature quickly, especially after everything he went through in the tower in the mansion. He understands that if he is not rational and calm enough, he will sooner or later kill the people around him.
Chun Tao stood beside the carriage, putting away her usual smile, and said in a low voice: "Madam Li, no matter what happens, don't leave the carriage."
Inside the carriage, Madam Li's face was pale. She clutched the window frame tightly, gritted her teeth, and spoke incoherently, "I won't go out."
Qin Yuqing shot the nearest maggot with his longbow, then stepped on it and directly stepped on the maggot's head to flip onto the roof of the carriage.
Her hair was simply tied into a high ponytail and fluttered in the air. Her fox eyes, with a smile on their faces, contained undisguised murderous intent and disgust.
Lu Jingchuan stood on the other side of the maggots, looking at these strangely moving maggots with cold eyes. Seeing Qin Yuqing nodding at him, Lu Jingchuan turned his wrist and made a beautiful sword flower.
Like a maggot controlled by humans, it moved without any hesitation and moved forward towards the carriage unswervingly.
"Follow the plan." Qin Yuqing gave an order, and countless long arrows with red blood stains fell from the sky, landing around the carriage, forming a small circle.
The maggots that had been moving forward unwaveringly suddenly began to tremble, their heads and noses moving constantly, and then greedy expressions appeared on their numb faces.
They subconsciously moved forward towards the direction of the red arrow, but the other half of their bodies moved towards the carriage, as if the person controlling them was forcing the maggots to move towards the carriage.
Just then, a sound of flesh being torn was heard. The body, which was already extremely fragile and still occupied by snow maggots, was torn into two halves by the maggots.
But even if the maggot is split in half, it can still continue to crawl.
In the quiet and dark woods, the firelight shone into everyone's eyes, and also on the half-maggot's constantly moving body. The half of the body with the head licked the long arrow desperately, and a strange liquid dripped from the maggot's twisted mouth.
The other half of the body, with its broken and bent legs, kept staring at the ground as it continued to move towards the carriage.
Looking at the scene before them, even though they already knew what snow maggots looked like, everyone broke out in cold sweat.
Such weird things shouldn't exist in the world!
On the snow-capped mountains in the south, the mountain god stood in the temple, looking calmly at the temple entrance. A mountain road suddenly appeared, and the mountain god still stared at the road calmly, watching the people coming.
"Long time no see." The man who came was dressed in black, completely different from the mountain god in white, and stood out against the vast expanse of snow-capped mountains. "You are still as old-fashioned as ever."
The mountain god just lazily opened his eyelids, and when he heard the other party's words, he just calmly reached out his hand to catch a snowflake without making any response.
Seeing that the mountain god ignored him, the other party did not get angry. He walked step by step into the temple. The wind from the snowy mountains slowly blew away the cloak covering his face. "The world is hopeless. Why not join me and give up this world?"
"Guardian of the South." As the mountain god finished speaking, a face identical to the mountain god's appeared from within his hood. "The mountain god is supposed to protect the common people."
The "Mountain God" suddenly laughed out loud. He looked from the horizon to the snow-capped mountains, and finally looked at the Mountain God standing there. His eyes were full of sarcasm, "As a fellow Mountain God, you should know what I mean."
The mountain god looked at the "mountain god" indifferently, snowflakes kept gathering between his fingers, and there was an undisguised murderous intent in his cold and ruthless eyes.
"When snow maggots appear, the world will be in chaos."
As the "Mountain God" spoke, countless snowflakes fell from the sky and instantly turned into sharp ice cones that pierced the "Mountain God".
"Don't be angry." The same cold voice was heard, but with a hint of evil. The "Mountain God" waved his hand, and the ice cone shattered into pieces, scattering on the ground. "It has already happened, why cling to this illusory world?"
The mountain god raised his hand indifferently and attacked again. A blizzard blew up around them, directly submerging the figures of the two mountain gods.
"You shouldn't exist."
"Why bother? You can't kill me." As the Mountain God spoke, the snowstorm gradually subsided around Him. "Of course, I can't kill you either."
"Enough." The mountain god glanced to the west. He could sense that the guardian god of the west was beginning to wake up. As long as he stopped the "mountain god" in front of him and did not disturb Qin Yuqing, that would be enough.
The "Mountain God" smiled lightly, with madness flashing in his eyes. At this moment, apart from having the same appearance and voice as the Mountain God, he had no other similarities with him.
"That's exactly what I meant."
Just as the "Mountain God" said, they are exactly the same people, no one can hurt anyone, and no one can do anything to anyone.
On the other side, Qin Yuqing and his team worked hard and finally killed all the maggots, making them unable to split or move at all.
Qin Yuqing was breathing heavily, and her fingers were trembling constantly on the longbow, which was a typical result of overexertion.
"Mrs. Li, you..." Qin Yuqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at everything inside the carriage in shock.
There were scratches all over the walls of the carriage, and black and red bloodstains overlapped on the walls. What Qin Yuqing didn't expect was that there were two daggers stuck in Mrs. Li's thin legs.
The handle of the dagger was embedded in the bone, which showed how much effort the person who used the dagger put in.
Madam Li smiled gently. She covered her legs with the clothes beside her. Her pale face was filled with apology: "I'm sorry for scaring the Sixth Princess."
Qin Yuqing shook her head and stopped Lord Li and Li Muyan who wanted to come up. Qin Yuqing could feel that Madam Li didn't want the father and son to see her in such a state.
"What's going on?" Qin Yuqing sat next to Madam Li, lifted the curtain and said to Lu Jingchuan, "Pack up, we're going to leave, time waits for no one."
Madam Li's eyes were still filled with apology. She didn't care about her appearance and asked gently, "Don't you want to rest? I can still hold on."
Qin Yuqing shook his head firmly: "If you arrive a little later, Madam will suffer more."
Unexpectedly, Madam Li smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of happiness: "Being able to come out of the tower and be with them is enough."
Qin Yuqing didn't say anything. She wanted to pat Mrs. Li's hand to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.
"Sixth Princess, this is the happiest time of my life in recent years. Even if I have to suffer a little, it doesn't matter."
Looking at Madam Li's gentle and determined eyes, Qin Yuqing's heart suddenly jumped. She looked at the woman in front of her with sadness in her fox eyes. She understood the implication of Madam Li's words.
"Have a good rest, I will explain your situation to them." Qin Yuqing sighed, looked at the clothes covering his legs, and said to Chuntao after getting off the carriage.
"Xiao Taozi, take good care of Madam Li and be careful and gentle with your movements."
Lord Li and Li Muyan came up immediately. Before Lord Li could speak, Li Muyan anxiously asked, "How is my mother? My mother is a very good person. She is fine, right?"
Qin Yuqing patted Li Muyan's shoulder and said, "Mrs. Li is fine. She was just frightened and needs to rest."
Li Muyan wanted to say something but was pulled back by Lord Li. Lord Li looked at Qin Yuqing with a sad look. Li Muyan might not understand, but Lord Li still did.
"Thank you, Sixth Princess." Lord Li's cloudy eyes gradually turned red. He knew very well about Madam Li's situation, and his words, Qin Yuqing, were just to comfort them.
Madam, you won’t live long.
Lord Li took another look at the carriage. This was his wife who had been with him for many years. How could he not understand her?
The Sixth Princess said this, which was naturally what the Madam meant. In that case, he pretended not to know and cherished his last days.
Perhaps because they had experienced the maggots, the atmosphere among the group was particularly depressing and no one spoke anymore.
Qin Yuqing leaned against the carriage, her brows furrowed, her beautiful fox eyes full of confusion: "Jingchuan, why do these things exist in this world?"
"I can't tell you." Lu Jingchuan rubbed Qin Yuqing's head. Only when he faced Qin Yuqing did Lu Jingchuan's face show a lively expression. "When we get to Arhan, we will know everything."
When Qin Yuqing first entered the book, these things did not happen at all. Neither the original plot nor the original owner's memory existed. What made Qin Yuqing even more confused was that the system had never explained this matter.
The host and the system have a symbiotic relationship, and it is absolutely impossible to hide this from the host.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuqing realized that the system seemed to have not appeared for a long time. Since the south, since she started climbing the long steps, the system has not appeared often.
"System, are you there?" Qin Yuqing called out to the system in her heart, but received no response for a long time.
Qin Yuqing frowned. She suddenly thought of something. Ever since the original owner appeared in front of her frequently, the system began to weaken its presence. As long as the original owner was there, the system would not appear.
If so, what is the relationship between the system and the original owner? Where is the heroine in the original book now?
