Chapter 13013 Lend Me Your Body for a While
There was a knock on the door, and it was pushed open the next second.
Ah Huai looked over and saw Zhuang Ronger walking in.
Her expression was the same as usual, but there was no one following her, so she probably couldn't find the person she was looking for.
Zhuang Rong'er noticed that the weather outside was not right and guessed that the sandstorm might come early.
No matter what plans we have, they should be implemented after the sandstorm ends. I believe everyone has the same idea.
Since Shui Wu had the experience of avoiding the sandstorm yesterday, nothing should go wrong today. When she sees the wind starting to blow, she should know how to protect herself.
After all, she was an adult. She searched everywhere but couldn't find her. She might have gone into a house.
The weather was unusual now, so she came back by herself.
Just as Zhuang Rong'er had expected, within a few minutes after she came back, she saw through the window that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the sunny day had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Where did you get that sword?"
Zhuang Rong'er saw the long sword standing beside Ah Huai. There was no such strong weapon in her Qiankun bag. Apart from insect poison, there was at most a handy and light weapon like a rattan whip.
She walked closer and sniffed gently beside Ah Huai, confirming that the already extremely light medicinal smell was coming from the sword.
This was the second time she had smelled it today. It was the same scent as on Yu Huanye, and similar to the scent she had smelled on Buhuagu back then.
"Is it from the dead man who attacked?"
Ah Huai nodded. "Before he died, a tiny gray worm crawled out of his body. He seemed to be itching unbearably and scratched the worm, then vomited blood and died."
He tried to describe the strange situation as carefully and accurately as possible.
He felt that the bizarre death was related to some kind of witchcraft. According to Liu Li's introduction at the time, Zhuang Rong'er must have made some achievements in this area and might be able to discern some useful information.
"...Did you smell what that bug smelled like?"
"There was a pungent smell of medicine as the insects died."
"So he's also a Gu user." Zhuang Rong'er snorted coldly.
He used a poisonous insect to control a puppet to provoke her and lure her into the city, but she left early and the puppet ran into Ah Huai.
She already had a candidate in mind for the person who was trying to interfere with her whereabouts.
The purpose of bringing her into the city was probably to use her to escape from trouble.
It's just not clear what this person has to do with her experience in the Soul Burial Cave that year.
She also had a gray puppet worm, and once used it to control a small paper figure to do shopping.
But her insects did not have that smell, and she could not completely control living people and achieve the effect of living and dying together when her spiritual power was sealed.
If that smell represented some kind of blessing, it would make sense. She had already defeated the Undying Bone that year. However, when that smell exploded, the unlucky dead zombie regrouped and seriously injured her in a last-ditch effort.
If she hadn't been carrying various life-saving magical weapons and Taoist talismans, she might have died there.
Yu Huanye, Feiyuan Pavilion... She wrote it down.
Sand was flying everywhere and the strong wind was hitting the door, as if it was going to blow the window open in the next second.
The huge whirlwind made people feel panicked - the sandstorm was coming again.
The sandstorm outside the Quicksand City will be louder than that inside the city, but that doesn't mean the sandstorm inside the city isn't terrifying enough.
Sandstorms are always at the level of natural disasters. If you push the door open at this time, people without any cultivation will probably be blown three feet high.
The houses in Quicksand City are all made of special structures and materials. They have many years of experience in resisting sandstorms, so they were not blown away.
However, in such an environment with increasingly terrifying wind and sand, someone actually knocked on the door.
The man's voice was almost drowned out by the wailing wind as he called out to them, "I am Liu Li, a disciple of Wanren Mountain. Could the fellow Taoists inside please allow me to take shelter for a while?"
Ah Huai moved when he heard the sound, came over, grabbed her arm, and shook his head at her.
"It's too dangerous outside. I have to wear the Thousand Jin Pearl on my body to barely stand in the wind. Just now, I saw a girl in a smoky pink jacket being swept away by the storm from afar. Unfortunately, I can't save her..." the man continued.
"Don't go out, this person's identity is fake."
Ah Huai whispered.
He was afraid that she would be shaken because a girl wearing a smoky pink jacket was too distinctive, and Shui Wu was dressed like that.
But the real Liu Li had died right under his nose outside the city, so who was this person outside the door?
How can you have good intentions if you don't want to show your true face?
Zhuang Rong'er hesitated for a moment, because she had actually heard a woman's scream about half a minute ago.
After hearing what this person said, I felt more and more that the voice was very much like Shui Wu.
The man didn't seem to think that he could really impress them and be let in. After he finished speaking, he stopped knocking on the door. Suddenly, a muffled groan came from outside the door, as if he was hit by something.
Zhuang Rong'er's ears moved slightly, blocking out the noise of the wind and sand. Then she listened again and realized that there were probably quite a few people in the sand.
She actually misjudged the issue. She thought that all parties had a tacit understanding to wait for the sandstorm to end before taking action, but it turned out that they were all a bunch of lunatics.
She thought for a moment, took out a wooden box engraved with patterns from her Qiankun bag, and opened it.
The dim sum sent by the Chang Bao Club was arranged in a row, and one could still see the spiritual energy flowing in it.
She took a look and suddenly cut her palm with her fingertips, blood gushed out. She walked over and wiped Ah Huai's face with that palm.
"Stay in the room and don't go out." She looked at Ah Huai's frown and added, "Protect my body in the room."
"you……"
"If you have any questions, wait until I come back." Zhuang Rong'er did not delay any longer. She crushed the three snacks in the box, closed her palms, and spiritual energy spontaneously flowed into her blood from the wound.
Although it is not full, it is much better than the experience of being completely dry.
Zhuang Rong'er sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and formed a seal, drawing her spiritual consciousness out, hovering over the sandworm outside the building.
“…”
With a strange feeling, she struggled to open her eyes in the raging sand, and her low vision announced that she had succeeded.
But, something is so wrong.
"...Zhuang Rong'er, how did you get here?" A second voice came from within his body, hoarse and gentle, revealing a strong sense of disbelief.
The "sandworm" possessed by her spiritual consciousness turned out to be the giant centipede Wuheng!
Why is Wuheng wandering outside instead of hiding indoors?
"You have spiritual power?!" Wu Heng was shocked again.
"Lend me your body for a while." Zhuang Rong'er concentrated and took control. The centipede's huge tail kept spinning in the sand and moved forward in the strong wind.
She saw it, it was indeed true, there was a person in the wind in the air, it was Shui Wu.
The chain on Shui Wu's chest flashed with dazzling light. The artifact under the red light was clearly the Eye of Void, and Shui Wu seemed to be on the verge of life and death.
She flew up and climbed to the top of the building amidst no one's frightened attempts to stop her.
"Shui Wu, use the Eye of Void Breaking!"
Since there is such a magic weapon that can break the void, why not use it at the beginning of the predicament?
The Demon Realm sect was particularly adept at spatial magic. If that was Shui Juelian's Eye of Breaking the Void, it would definitely be able to tear a crack here and let Shui Wu leave.
As long as she leaves this place, her spiritual power will naturally recover. No matter where she is teleported to, it doesn't matter whether she returns to the Demon Realm to ask for help or escapes to recuperate on her own. At least her life will not be in danger.
But she seemed to be completely unaware of it and had no idea how to drive it.
Shui Wu's screams were faint, and she wondered if she could hear her shouts amidst the wind. Zhuang Rong'er was anxious, but she only heard Wu Heng say, "Come closer to Feng Xuan and thrust the Blood-Crying Quicksand Hairpin I'm wearing into the ground—"
Building a city within a city would allow them to "catch" Shui Wu, who was in danger, into the illusion and personally teach her how to use the Eye of Breaking Void, but how would they get out then? There was simply no spiritual power to break the Eye of Breaking Void.
Yes, she can cut off the spiritual consciousness and then use her real body to help Wu Heng escape from the outside world.
Zhuang Rong'er no longer hesitated and did as she was told.
The golden hairpin fell to the ground, and the wind and sand stopped for a moment. The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and the city scenery that condensed again was exactly the same as before.
However, the city was shrouded in false tranquility. Zhuang Rong'er controlled Wuheng's body and saw that it was not only Shui Wu who was "captured" into the city, but also two people who were fighting.
The man and woman had strikingly similar faces, except the man's face was covered in black lines like flames, his expression made even more ferocious by the pain he wore. The woman glanced back at him, her grip on the man's neck tightening, an indelible sadness etched in her frost-covered eyes.
Shui Wu lay on the ground, gasping for breath as if she was suffocating.
Zhuang Rong'er had no time to care about the old friend who suddenly appeared before her. She hurriedly shouted at her, "Shui Wu, use the Eye of Breaking Void, quickly!"
She was just under an illusion, and her actual body could be crushed by the storm at any time.
Shui Wu hurriedly looked up at her, and finally hurriedly grasped the bright red pendant on her chest.
An extremely narrow and pitch-black crack appeared under her body. When the crack appeared, the entire space trembled violently. Shui Wu crawled out of the crack, and the crack closed in an instant.
Zhuang Rong'er breathed a sigh of relief. Only after her highly tense nerves relaxed did she realize that something was quite wrong with Wu Heng.
She actually had the illusion that she couldn't control herself, and it became extremely difficult to control this body.
"Snow Cry..."
A call came from the huge centipede's mouth, but this call did not come from her, Zhuang Rong'er.
Wu crossed over her and took back his body, which was definitely not a good thing for both of them.
She felt something was wrong and was about to concentrate again to stop this man's reckless behavior, but the centipede's body had already snaked away, trying to block the dark and murderous energy that the stranger was about to hit You Xueqi.
Zhuang Rong'er endured the dull pain in her head and let her body stop for half a second, but the next moment, her consciousness was bounced out.
Control was difficult, and the escape took only a moment. She was driven out of Wuheng's body...
A huge feeling of dizziness swept over her, her brain was buzzing, and a line of blood flowed from the corner of Zhuang Rong'er's lips. She trembled all over and opened her eyes.
She was in her own body, and things were in chaos at the moment. The giant python coiled in front of her, tightly holding her in the center for protection. However, the python was obviously in unbearable pain, its whole body twitching, and the tip of its tail kept hitting the ground.
Zhuang Rong'er could empathize with the pain because she was also deeply tortured at this moment.
The fact that his spiritual consciousness was kicked away might not have anything to do with Wu Heng's sudden surge in willpower, but rather, it was because something was wrong with the blood pool within the Ruihuan Valley...
