Chapter 127 The handsome man left a fragrance
The way the Dead Sea Mermaid moves forward quickly is very interesting. She will summon a turbulent tide, control the direction of the tide, and let the tide carry her forward. Anyone who stands in her way, whether alive or dead, will be equal and will be swept into the tide and crushed into powder.
Tarona just tried it, and the buff breaking effect was quite powerful. The mermaid wrapped in the tide was like a dead fish, unable to move at all.
Tarona: ...
Very good, very good.
Seth: …
Is Miss Ta going crazy?
It's not that she's crazy. Tarona is very calm now. The debuff is effective. Now she is in the desert and doesn't need to go into the water.
The reason why she left the team at this time was because there was a fresh smell of blood in the wind and she also heard the whispers of death.
Tarona recalled the information. Chu Liuxiang and others encountered many small crises after entering the desert. They were nothing more than lack of water and food. The first time they saw blood was when they encountered the Five Tigers of Pengmen who were being hunted down. The people who were hunting them were none other than Shi Guanyin's subordinates.
Shi Guanyin wanted the Star of Bliss that they were escorting.
Judging from the time, the Five Tigers of the Peng Clan should still be on their way to escape.
The witch raised her hand, and the cold desert wind gently lingered around her fingertips. The wind contained countless pieces of information, and she found the one she wanted.
The biting cold wind suddenly stopped for a moment, and then roared even more fiercely in the next second. The mermaid wearing a black cloak was lifted up by the strong wind and flew towards the source of the bloody smell at a speed that could not be captured by the human eye.
Peng Yihu and his brothers were already exhausted from being hunted down. The people chasing them seemed to have no respite, not even taking a break, eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom. They just kept chasing them non-stop.
Their food and water were poisoned without anyone noticing. Several guys who were originally there to make pressure took only a sip. Before they could swallow the dry food in their mouths, the poison had already taken effect. Within two or three breaths, they were bleeding all over and fell to the ground with distorted faces.
The brothers were so frightened that they dared not even to rest and hurried on through the night, trying to leave those who were chasing them behind.
But soon, they realized that no matter how they escaped or in which direction, it was just a futile struggle.
The people chasing after them were like hyenas, and they could be seen in every direction and in every place. As soon as they got water and food, they would be horrified to find in the blink of an eye that the water and food in their hands had been poisoned again.
Peng Erhu had been tortured to the point of being a little neurotic, like a frightened bird. Even if his brother's breathing was a little louder, he would be alert as if in a state of panic.
It was another cold night, and the four wounded brothers huddled together for warmth on a sand dune sheltered from the wind.
They were already very sleepy and tired, but none of them dared to close their eyes, for fear that once they closed their eyes, their brothers beside them would be beheaded.
They sat shoulder to shoulder, back to back, facing four directions. Under the starry sky, four pairs of bloodshot eyes stared at the desert which was as calm as dead water.
They knew that beneath this peaceful desert lurked a deadly murderous intent, toying with them like a cat playing with a mouse, staring coldly at them as they gradually collapsed.
Peng Yihu began to regret that he should not have taken the dart. The four brothers were afraid that they would all die because of this dart.
He blinked his dry eyes. His lips had cracked and bled due to severe dehydration, and his throat felt like it was on fire.
So it was with him, and so it was with his brothers.
Peng Yihu touched the lump on his arm with trembling hands. He cut open his own flesh for protection. Inside was a very shining gem, named the Star of Bliss, which was the prize they were escorting this time.
It was this star of bliss that attracted the terrible pursuit.
At this moment, the sand ten feet away from them suddenly stirred slightly. The four of them were so tired and their spirits were pushed to the limit that they could not notice this tiny movement.
The people under the sand were ready to strike again.
Just as these people were about to leap out, they suddenly felt a huge force pulling at their bare feet. Their hearts suffocated, and they had no time to resist before they were dragged deeper underground. The pitiful amount of oxygen in the sand gave them their last breath in the world.
A fresh fragrance wafted from the wind. Peng Yihu, who was in a daze, licked his cracked lips and tasted a faint smell of blood on the tip of his tongue.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a person walking towards them.
It was a woman wearing a black cloak.
The stars were shining brightly above his head, but his vision was blurry. He could not see the face getting closer and closer, and could only see her long black hair fluttering in the wind.
…It’s like the wind blowing flower petals around in the summer when I was a child.
The next second, Peng Yihu's eyes rolled back and he finally fainted.
The three brothers who were standing back to back with him had already collapsed before him. If their chests had not been still rising and falling slightly, passers-by would have thought they were dead.
The mermaid with silver-grey eyes stopped three steps away from the four people. She raised her hand slightly, and a glimmer of emerald green light bloomed under the four people, rising and soaring, forming a simple magic circle with a continuous beginning and an end.
It's just blood recovery.
They did not have fatal wounds. The people who were ordered to hunt them were like small predators competing for large prey in nature. They were very patient and inflicted wounds on their bodies little by little that were not fatal but would cause a certain amount of bleeding, slowly consuming their lives.
Long-term lack of water and food is not a problem. They are in good physical condition and can hold on for a while.
Once the blood was drained out, the four men's complexion looked much better, their dry, cracked lips also regained color, and the bump on Peng Yihu's arm began to bleed a little more.
Talona looked around them for a while, left a limited-time warming spell, and then turned and left.
They had a little bit of a different aura, but little, not nearly as much as the ones being dragged away by the sand.
The black-haired beauty took two steps forward, and her ethereal and graceful figure disappeared on the endless chain of sand dunes.
Gulp, gulp.
Several sand cocoons emerged from the sand like water, and inside them were all dead killers.
Tarona blinked, and his silver-grey pupils were instantly stained with a circle of dazzling gold, and the grey aura lingering on the killer's body was instantly visible.
They were entangled in strands, floating slowly around the limbs of these killers. If they were all gathered together, they would only be as thick as a thumb.
The Great Witch stretched out her hand toward them, and deep red magic factors lingered around her fingers like mayflies in a sea of light, a vitality even more vigorous than when these killers were alive.
The gray aura seemed to have smelled something and rushed over quickly.
Tarona only just discovered that their tips could become sharper than needles, making them more suitable for piercing human flesh.
Perhaps this is how they penetrated the bodies of these killers while they were still alive.
Is it a parasitic species?
Tarona collected these auras, squeezed them into a round "bead", and sent them to Seth for sample testing.
She lifted her skirt, bent down and sat on the giant clam formed by water vapor and opened at 90 degrees.
After a while, Seth got the result.
[Ms. Ta, the final test result of the sample is that the aura is 91% similar to the abnormal [Deadly Coral].]
It is said to be 91%, but in fact it can be regarded as 100%. The remaining 9% is reserved for judging whether the anomaly is a mutation or evolution.
[Deadly Coral] sounds like coral, but it is not. It just looks like one. Coral is made of the shell skeletons of coral polyps, but [Deadly Coral] is a living thing.
It has no self-awareness at all, only the most basic instinct to eat. In its world, it exists only as a tool, and is very popular.
[Deadly Coral] has only one ability, which is to resurrect the dead, but this resurrection must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
It can be understood that the dead person resurrected by it is a zombie that retains the memory, emotions and abilities of the previous life. Apart from being able to move as before, there is no other difference between him and the dead.
Yes, the resurrected person will still decay, but as long as the [Deadly Coral] is there, this person can still be alive even if he decays to a skeleton.
Non-humans naturally have many ways to ensure that their bodies will not decay, but humans cannot. There is only one way for humans to do this, and that is to seize the vitality of others and use the vitality of others to delay the time of body decay.
These gray auras are what appear when someone uses [Deadly Coral] to steal the vitality of others.
It exists on those whose vitality has been taken away, and it also exists on those who have had their vitality taken away. It is like a mark that cannot be erased or covered up.
There are now two suspects.
One is naturally the Black Pearl who has obvious problems. Her father Zhamuhe is dead, and she has a good relationship with her father, so it is reasonable for her to want to resurrect Zhamuhe.
If he is reluctant to take action against his own people, then he will do it against his enemies. Shi Guanyin's ambition to swallow up the power of the King of the Desert is as clear as day in the desert - everyone knows it.
The other one is the Stone Guanyin.
She herself may not need the Deadly Coral yet, but she has a son named Wuhua, who committed suicide in front of Chu Liuxiang.
In the previous incident, Black Pearl seemed to have grasped the plot, and the timing of the appearance of her subordinates could not be more coincidental, so Tarona reasonably suspected that she would deliberately order someone to make the final move.
Don't you want to commit suicide? I'll help you!
above.
Wuhua actually had a great influence on Shi Guanyin. After all, she only had two sons who were tools, one died and the other also died.
If the [Deadly Coral] is really in her hands, there is a high possibility that she will resurrect Wuhua. Compared with her tool son, the lives of her subordinates are obviously less valuable.
Working for her is a sin in my lifetime.
It would be a sin to be her apprentice.
It's easy to find out which one it is, just go and see.
The wind had already told her where the lair of Shi Guanyin was.
…
The lair of the Stone Guanyin is located in a remote area with rugged terrain. There are stone pillars standing in all directions, layer upon layer, forming a maze-like stone forest. There are also countless traps here. If you take a wrong step, this is the place where you will be buried.
Those who come don't walk, they fly.
Passing through numerous strangely shaped stone pillars, Tarona found the initial joy of learning to fly. He felt a little itchy and wanted to blow up something to liven up the fun.
After passing the last stone pillar, the first thing that catches your eye is a scene of lush greenery.
The witch's eyes turned cold.
The flowers are blooming beautifully and the grass is growing lushly.
They are nothing but harmful poppy flowers and marijuana leaves.
The cultivation of these things is strictly prohibited in the main universe. There are better substitutes for treating diseases and providing anesthesia. They are not very effective in making potions. The only thing that is very eye-catching is that they can harm people.
She swept her eyes around and saw people who had been driven insane and were living a life worse than death by the drugs extracted from these things.
Mostly men, but there are women too.
If the flower was not still useful, he would have eaten it.
Shi Guanyin must be the most ruthless mother in the world. In her eyes, Wuhua and Nangong Ling are nothing more than more useful tools. If these drugs can make them more obedient, she will simply feed them into their mouths with her own hands.
Liu Wumei ate it.
However, the disadvantages of this thing are obvious. In order to realize her ambition of unifying the Central Plains martial arts world, she can only give up this idea with regret.
Now her ambition to unify the Central Plains martial arts world has been completely shattered. If Wuhua was just faking his death as the information said, and was not killed, his furious mother would definitely show him her terrifying maternal love.
Tarona smiled coldly and said, "Thinking about it this way, it would actually be a good choice for Wuhua to really die."
Seth nodded in agreement.
There was no trace of Stone Guanyin in the Stone Forest Cave, but Tarona saw the same gray aura entangled and surrounding a masked woman.
The thin layer of white gauze couldn't cover anything, and her face, which was full of scratches from a sharp weapon, was clearly visible.
She is Qu Wurong.
Shi Guanyin had no kindness towards this disciple. The reason why Chang Sunhong was so favored by her was, firstly, because she was capable and sweet-spoken, and secondly, because she was not pretty enough.
Qu Wurong is different. Not only is she gifted in martial arts, but she is also getting more and more beautiful as she grows older. How can Shi Guanyin tolerate this?
Qiu Lingsu was so far away that she wanted to disgrace someone, let alone Qu Wurong who was right in front of her.
Qu Wurong's face was much more disfigured than Qiu Lingsu's. If Qiu Lingsu looked like she was scratched by a mad cat, then someone had deliberately carved many chessboards on her face.
Her own experience was already so tragic, yet she still had to help Chu Liuxiang and others under pressure in the later period. She was a poor child.
The great witch sitting in the air took away the gray aura from her body, and then sprinkled a dose of restorative potion on her. The effect of the potion would not be fast, and it would take about three or four days. By then, Shi Guanyin would probably be dead.
If she remembered correctly, the poor child's true love seemed to be on the way.
Who is it?
I'll look back at it later.
Thinking of this, Tarona snapped his fingers.
In an instant, lightning struck from the sky, making a devastating sound. The entire Stone Forest Cave was shaken by the earthquake, and even obvious cracks appeared in the surrounding mountains!
Is this a punishment from heaven?!
Everyone in the cave was so frightened that they stood there in shock, their minds went blank, staring blankly at the sea of flowers and grass that had turned into scorched earth.
That is the master's treasure...
No more… ?
In comparison, Qu Wurong was the calmest among them. Even though her hands holding the scabbard had turned white from the force she exerted, she still stood straight.
Shi Guanyin is not here, and Chang Sunhong is not here either. She is the one with the highest martial arts skills in the cave, and tonight is her turn to patrol... She can see everything clearly, even if it's someone else.
It's not a thunder bomb, nor is it gunpowder, it's thunder...
It is a thunderbolt that is several times thicker than the thickest stone pillar!
Why?
Why did they only chop down this sea of flowers and grass that had harmed countless people?
Could it be that...
Qu Wurong looked up at the exceptionally bright starry sky tonight. A layer of light mist filled his usually cold and calm eyes, and his eye sockets turned slightly red.
The damn sky finally has eyes?
The great witch, who had opened her eyes for Cangtian, had already flown several miles away. She had gained a lot tonight and it was time for her to go back to Chu Liuxiang and the others.
She has not forgotten the fatal bloody disaster that happened to this unfortunate son of fortune.
Shi Guanyin is not in her old nest, so she should be in Guizi Kingdom.
But since there is a black pearl with an unknown problem, we still have to go and see it to be sure.
Now they need the guidance of the son of luck. After all, Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng have the same troublesome constitution. Trouble comes when one is at home.
