The moment he saw the monster, Kui Kui immediately understood why those who used slimming charms had lost weight.
Even a normal carbon-based life form couldn't withstand having its life essence drained day and night by such a monster.
Excessive consumption of essence and blood will gradually decline a person's bodily functions. Even if you eat like crazy, it is impossible to replenish the lost essence and blood all at once.
Over time, it ended up as a dried-up corpse.
Kui Kui recalled the book "Records of a Hundred Ghosts" that he had read when he was a child, and felt that this monster was somewhat similar to the starving ghost, but there were still some differences.
No wonder even the well-informed Aunt Hu couldn't explain what was attached to Mu Xiaoqing.
Kui Kui tried to get closer to the monster on Song Minli's head.
Slurp! Slurp!
The monster's scarlet eyes darted around warily as it watched the Kui Kui with increasing force, much like a wild dog guarding its food.
Kui Kui frowned slightly, his lips moved slightly, and he formed a hand seal with his left hand, chanting: "Heaven and Earth originate from the profound, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine power. Within and without the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light, which covers my form."
As the last word fell, Kui Kui formed a sword-like finger with his left hand and thrust it towards the monster's brow.
A golden light flew out from the fingertip.
Kui Kui was reciting the Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism.
"Ouch!" The monster cried out in pain.
It glared fiercely at Kui Kui, but its mouth remained tightly gripping the straw, sucking hard, its cheeks bulging like a toad.
However, it only kills with its eyes and has no other means of attack.
I must say, the hole between his eyebrows left by the Golden Light Mantra, combined with his fierce and menacing eyes, was quite intimidating.
But Kui Kui was used to being scared, so he was used to it.
She squinted and peered into the two-finger-wide hole, only to find it empty.
Is this monster brainless? That's why it wasn't killed on the spot? But why didn't it fight back?
Kui Kui unleashed another beam of golden light.
Golden light flew from the monster's left cheek and out from its right cheek.
"Ooh ooh ooh!" the monster cried out in pain. It glared at Kui Kui but still did not retaliate.
Kui Kui finally understood why it didn't fight back.
The monster had no brain or teeth, only a tongue that was tubular and attached to Song Minli's head.
As a parasite, it cannot leave Song Minli.
The monster was both angry and in pain. In a fit of rage, it waved its thin, frail arm, but it couldn't hit Kui Kui at all.
Its gaze fell on Song Minli beneath it, and anger rose in its heart, and evil thoughts arose in its heart.
It can't hit the Kui Kui, but it can hit its host!
It aimed at Song Minli's head and raised its hand high.
How could Kui Kui possibly give it a chance?
The thin red thread transformed into the sharpest weapon in the world, severing its arms at the shoulders.
The monster howled in pain, its mouth slightly open, its body swaying uncontrollably from side to side.
If it weren't for the magical straw tongue connecting it to Song Minli, it would have already fallen to the ground.
The red threads did not fly back into Kui Kui's body, but instead wrapped around the monster's fully exposed tongue.
Silk thread is not only the sharpest weapon in the world, but also the most ingenious.
They burrowed into Song Minli's hair and peeled the tongue out little by little.
Song Minli felt nothing at all, but the monster kept tilting its head back in pain.
Through its and Hongsi's joint efforts, it finally separated from Song Minli.
It rolled off the bed and onto the floor, and the next second it saw Kui Kui looking down at it.
It scrambled to its feet in a panic, trying to stuff its half-eaten, bloody tongue back into its mouth with its hands, only to discover, to its dismay, that it no longer had hands.
It could only let its tongue hang from its mouth, slurring, "I'm not eating anymore, oh, I'm not eating anymore, Rao Mei..."
Kui Kui nodded slightly. Being able to speak was a good thing.
It seems they speak without thinking.
Note: ① Heaven and Earth originate from the profound mystery, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I attain divine powers. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light. Invisible to the eye, inaudible to the ear. Encompassing Heaven and Earth, nurturing all living beings. Reciting this mantra ten thousand times, my body radiates light. The Three Realms guard me, the Five Emperors welcome me. All gods pay homage, I command thunder and lightning. Ghosts and demons tremble in fear, spirits vanish. Within lies thunder, the Thunder God conceals his name. Penetrating wisdom penetrates, the Five Qi surge. Golden light swiftly appears, protecting the True Person. —The Golden Light Mantra
