Chapter 267 Evolution
The two hands feel cold to the touch, like pieces of iron, and I can feel the coldness even through my clothes.
The water stains on the ghost woman's hair dripped down and seeped into her clothes like icy water from a cold pond. The biting cold was mixed with a hint of the stench of poisonous insects.
"Why don't you speak, sir?"
The voice rang out again, and the poison that Chen Luo had suppressed with Wang Mingde's brain surged up again. The dark curse disappeared, leaving only the deadly poison.
'Mixed spider venom, a mixture of more than seven types of venom.'
Wang Mingde's brain quickly analyzed the drop of poison that had invaded his body and began to crack it.
The brain works together, and the behavior of Wang Mingren's brain will not affect Chen Luo.
Spider venom?
Spider ghost?
Chen Luo's attention was focused on this woman. A ray of silver appeared around her body. As soon as he found something wrong, he would immediately summon the Silver-Armored Corpse King.
"When did you get in here?"
The restriction of the giant whale was drawn by a third-level master of the Qionghua School. It is impossible for this thing to invade when it is opened normally. The only explanation is that the ghost exploded just now, blowing up the restriction, and the other party took the opportunity to sneak in.
However, from the time the restriction was broken to the time it was repaired, Chen Luo's consciousness never left this place, and he did not notice any ghost approaching.
"Your Highness, there is the scent of Sister Xue Ning on you. Can you tell me where you met her?"
"I don't know any Xue Ning. I'm afraid you've got the wrong person."
Chen Luo turned around, and the arm holding his shoulders from behind quickly pulled away. But the other party did not leave, but instead changed her position close to him, from holding his shoulder to holding his arm. This female demon seemed to be casual, but every step she took ensured that she could attack Chen Luo at the first opportunity.
"ah!!"
A scream came from a distance. It was Zhao Long.
The Qionghua Sect foundation-building cultivator who was controlling the flying boat collapsed to the ground, his face turning purple. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. Without Zhao Long controlling the flying boat, the giant whale's speed slowly decreased, and once again showed signs of deviating from its flight path.
"Sir, if you don't speak up, you will have no chance. The master is not as easy to talk to as me. If he wakes up..."
Before the woman finished her words, a small black stone suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's hand. The small stone quickly cracked after it appeared, and Chen Luo, who was originally held by the woman's arm, was torn apart like a paper man.
A circle of gray energy exploded on the spot.
"Seeing desire!"
Chen Luo's figure appeared on the other side as if teleporting. This was the Demon Sect Master's magic substitutionary death technique.
Each demon seed represents a human life, and the process of cultivating it is extremely difficult. The Demon Seed Sect Master has only accumulated more than thirty of them over the years, and Chen Luo used up nearly half of them in just a few days.
But the effect was unexpectedly good. After getting rid of the woman, Chen Luo raised his hand, and a wisp of gray ripples spread out from his fingertips. This was the power of the curse. To deal with this kind of thing, the most practical thing was to curse.
When Chen Luo invoked this cursed power, he also added the power of the Life-Borrowing Gu and the Soul-Boiling Gu into it.
The trouble was caused by these two guys, so naturally they had to help solve it. As time went by, the noise from the ghost temple below became louder and louder. Vaguely, Chen Luo seemed to see the eyes on the Thousand-Eyed Centipede, and two more looked over.
"The life-borrowing Gu is not borrowing the life of that big guy down there, right?"
A smoke-like shadow appeared beside the woman, and his index finger gathered a little starlight and pointed it precisely at her forehead.
As the finger fell, the whole area fell silent. The aura of the woman who was pointed at froze, and her black hair stopped swaying. She seemed to have seen another world. Her figure stayed in the same place for three seconds, and then exploded with a "pop". Her body was scattered everywhere like sand.
The scattered curse energy in the air made an eerie laughter like children playing, which lasted for a long time.
At the moment the ghost woman died, the fog in the ghost temple below fluctuated for a moment, but soon there was no movement.
Chen Luo observed for a while, and only sat down to rest after he was sure it was safe. After a while, he stood up and walked over, picking up the dust left by the ghost woman on the ground, and then walked to the belly of the wooden giant whale. After getting rid of the woman, the whale flying boat returned to normal again and returned to its original trajectory.
Chen Luo walked along the passage for a while and found the core of the formation inside.
Both Zhao Long and Mei Qin were poisoned and collapsed to the ground with purple faces. Not far away was a body with its head separated from its body. It was the female cultivator who had examined the body before. There was still an angry expression on her face, and no one knew what she had seen before she died.
'It can't be wasted.'
Having wasted a demon seed to transfer the damage, Chen Luo now had almost no injuries, except that his spiritual energy was severely depleted and his legs and feet felt a little weak.
He leaned over and placed one hand on the dead woman's head.
'Contacted with the brain waves of a dead person, damage level 7%, do you want to read it?'
Read!
Gray energy flowed into the body along the arms.
A large number of obsessions flooded into her mind. The female cultivator's brain was very complete, with more than twenty obsessions alone. Chen Luo took a quick glance at them and paid no more attention to them. They were of no value.
Two points of spiritual power flew out from his fingertips and landed on Zhao Long and Mei Qin. Just a moment ago, Wang Mingde's brain had found a way to detoxify. After integrating the spiritual power points, the purple on their faces quickly faded, but they still did not wake up.
Chen Luo sat at the edge of the core formation, observing the burning of the spiritual marrow.
The giant whale flying boat traveled silently. After an unknown amount of time, the boat shook and a ray of sunlight shone down from the sky.
The flying boat finally passed the first dangerous point and was halfway through the journey.
"Thank you, Brother."
The voices of Zhao Long and Mei Qin came from behind. This experience was too dangerous. No one expected to encounter such a large group of ghosts. And the ghost woman who appeared at the end was obviously not a simple character. The female foundation-building cultivator who was with them was killed as soon as they met.
"How far is it from the sect? Can the remaining spirit essence sustain us to our destination?"
What Chen Luo was most concerned about was the giant whale flying boat.
"There is a sect stronghold just beyond the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. We are already halfway there. The Naihe Bridge covers a large area. After passing this place, the remaining two places are relatively small and can be crossed in half an hour."
Zhao Long was also paying attention to the spiritual marrow. The loss of this mission was too great, so he threw all the spiritual marrow he had accumulated over the years into it.
The circular formation rotated like a gear. The core furnace was forged by the sect's third-level weapon refiner, and only burned spiritual essence. Materials like spiritual stones would not have any effect if thrown in, and would only be burned dry by the furnace fire as impurities.
"Have a good rest, you will be safe when you reach the sect."
Chen Luo stood up and left. He was going to go back and study the changes of the two insects. The life-borrowing insect had borrowed a strand of life from the ghost temple, so he had to share some of the benefits. If he was late, there would be no soup left!
"I'm going back too."
Meiqin said something to Zhao Long, then stood up and left. Zhao Long was the only one left at the core furnace of the giant whale, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Looking back at the direction where Chen Luo left, Zhao Long breathed a sigh of relief.
During the previous fight, he saw with his own eyes Chen Luo go over and repair the hole in the flying boat.
This repair is not simple, as it involves three types of knowledge: restrictions, formations, and refining. The fact that the other party was able to complete the repair in such a short time proves that he has very profound attainments in restrictions, formations, and refining. Based on this point alone, Zhao Long defined this person as an object that must not be provoked.
"I'm afraid it won't take long for this Senior Brother Chen to form a pill."
A trace of envy flashed in Zhao Long's eyes. He hadn't even found the door to the Golden Elixir yet, but others were already suppressing their cultivation and chasing after a higher level of Golden Elixir.
The wooden giant whale was still flying forward, and the ground below slowly changed from the previous cold grayish-white color to red. Pieces of angular rocks were scattered below, and some flying snakes with long tails were flying around in it to hunt.
In the room.
Chen Luo sat cross-legged, and he caught the two culprit insects from the insect bag. At this moment, the two insects were full of food, and the dark gold veins on the surface of the life-borrowing insect were fatter, almost the size of a thumb. The belly of the soul-sending insect also swelled, and wisps of gray energy flowed inside.
The ironclad beetle and the silver centipede were very obedient. They were sealed in the insect breeding bag by Chen Luo and were still gnawing at the restrictions. Chen Luo took a quick look and added another layer of restrictions to the three of them. After doing this, he set his sights on the life-borrowing Gu.
This time all the trouble was caused by this guy.
There was no notice at all before borrowing my life.
"Has this thing always been this tricky before?"
Chen Luo mobilized the brain of the leader of the Immortal Sect.
'The Life-Borrowing Gu is about to evolve. This is a great time to refine it!'
When the Immortal Sect Master saw the round life-borrowing Gu for the first time, an idea came into his mind. Different brains look at the same thing from different perspectives.
evolution?
Chen Luo looked at the round life-borrowing Gu and pressed its belly with his index finger, wanting it to share some of the life it had eaten with him.
Although there is a need to return what is borrowed, the other party must come to find it. The "Thousand-Eyed Centipede" in the ghost temple has been in a dormant state, and it is estimated that it will take thousands of years to collect the debt.
The Life-Borrowing Gu was round and plump, and when Chen Luo pressed his finger over it, its eight silver-white little feet all pressed against his fingertips, refusing to give up any of its life.
"Eating alone? This bad habit must be curbed!"
Chen Luo pressed the little guy with his index finger and rubbed it on the table.
As the Life-Borrowing Gu was being twisted, its body became hotter, and a ray of white light emerged from its lower abdomen. It began to struggle as if trying to shed its shell.
"It's starting to evolve!"
The Immortal Sect's leader's brain had been observing the state of the Life-Borrowing Gu, and gave feedback immediately upon noticing any changes.
