Watching those corpse maggots crawling around each other until they gathered together and stopped moving, the monster with a sheep's head and a human body also became one, looking no different from an ordinary creature, with skin, flesh, bones and blood. Until finally, the Antelope Witch opened his eyes. His eyes were as red as blood, with sharp pupils, as if he saw everything in the world. They were mysterious, cold, cunning, and cruel. He seemed to be able to see life and death, and understand all the affairs of the world. They were as bloody as the moon and as mysterious as a demon.
It just opened its eyes and looked at me, but I was already trembling all over, with cold sweat on my forehead. Even though all my body tissues, organs, and nerves were intact, I couldn't control my body at all. I could only stand there stupidly, feeling the endless fear from the bottom of my heart devouring all my other thoughts.
I suddenly remembered why those wooden men didn't react at all when Yunwen and I did so much just now, even when I was about to move the Yinshi Pot. They were obviously closely related to it, but they didn't move at all. After all, they were in awe of the Yinshi Pot and would never react that way, just like some religious people will never allow others to touch the statue of God.
The reason is very simple. Those wooden men can move because of the maggots inside their bodies. The maggots have all gathered here, and their bodies have become hollow. They are not kneeling out of awe, but because they cannot move at all. Without the maggots to control their tissues, they are just a pile of rotten wood, like puppets without their strings. How can they move?
Therefore, these wooden men can survive for hundreds of years because there are these maggots in their bodies. Once the maggots leave the body, their consciousness will be completely dead and they will be unable to move. The leader of the wooden men died, but the maggots were safe and sound, so much so that Bai Lu went crazy for a while. This shows that the host of the maggots is not the leader of the wooden men, Wang Gang.
But it comes from the infamous high priest of the Blood Eye Clan from ancient times - the Antelope Witch!
These corpse maggots are its true body, so it can show up now. Perhaps it is relying on some special ability of the Yin-Shi Pot to reverse the yin and yang of heaven and earth, allowing the corpse maggots to forge a flesh body and the Yin-Shi Pot to return to life through yin.
"Zhou Bo, I can't move. It feels like my whole body is frozen." Yunwen said.
"Me too. I don't know if this guy has some terrible mind control ability. Now, apart from opening my mouth, I can't move anything else," I said.
The ancient antelope witch walked towards me, looked me up and down, showing its teeth, yellow and black with a foul smell, and its sheep's head and face were particularly strange, as if it was wearing a hood. It looked at me gently with its hand, and its eyes revealed a sense of hunger and greed.
"What does it do?" I asked.
"Hey, ugly bastard, go away, stay away from me, Zhou Bo!" Yunwen shouted.
The antelope witch ignored Yunwen, muttering some strange language, slowly approaching me, and talking non-stop. The sheep's mouth was not bleating, but making such a strange noise, which made me very uncomfortable. At this time, its palm slowly opened, aimed at the Yinxi Pot and fiddled with it back and forth, as if there was a balloon in front of it being kneaded and fiddled with.
At this time, a strange white mist began to condense in the Yinxi Pot. I could hear countless heart-wrenching and lung-tearing screams in my ears. They were hoarse and extremely heartbreaking, as if thousands of dead souls were lingering around me.
With a humming sound, the ghost fire suddenly rose up again in the Yinshi Pot. The Antelope Witch looked at my right hand, exclaimed in admiration, and then gently moved two fingers. Suddenly, the Golden Que Sword flew out of my hand and fell into the river with a splash. The Golden Que Sword was dull and heavy, and it immediately sank to the bottom of the water. Judging from the sound, it was about eighteen to twenty steps away from me.
It emitted a ghostly green ghost fire, like the hideous face of a devil, and it was about to fall on me. I was terrified!
Not long ago, I was nearly burned to death by ghost fire, but fortunately I was saved by Jinque. Now, I am about to be set on fire by ghost fire again. This time, the Jinque sword is not here, so won’t I be dead forever?
It spewed a foul breath and muttered a few words. I happened to see Yunwen's shocked look, so I asked, "Can you understand?"
"I have studied the language of the Blood Eye Clan and can understand some of it. It says that your skin and flesh are as delicate as a baby, and there will definitely be a lot of crystals left after you are burned to death." Yunwen said fearfully.
"Ah?" I was shocked.
It is true that every advantage has its disadvantages, and fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Just now I was feeling lucky to have gained a new layer of skin, but in the blink of an eye, it became the reason for me to be burned to death first.
The antelope witch was about to put the fire on me, and I could hear its strange laughter in my ears, which sounded like the bleating of a sheep and also like human laughter, or like a deadly demon grinning in my ear, which made my hair stand on end and I almost collapsed.
Just when it was about to put the will-o'-the-wisp on me and I didn't even have the power to close my eyes, I suddenly heard a rapid noise, and in the blink of an eye, with a howl, the nine-tailed white fox had arrived. It pounced on the antelope witch, slapped open the Yinxie pot, and its nine tails wrapped around the antelope witch madly. Yunwen and I were immediately freed from mental control and regained our freedom.
Seeing the white fox fighting with the antelope witch, it saved me again. I couldn't just abandon it this time. It had killed all its brothers and sisters. If I ignored it now, would I still be considered a member of the martial arts camp and a man?
I said with a cold face, "Yunwen, go pick up the bow and arrow, hide in the dark and respond to me. I will pick up the sword and fight this old monster. No matter what happens this time, I will not let the fox fairy beauty suffer for me alone. I don't want to be a coward anymore. But if we can't hold on for a while, you go first, stay away from this city of death, and find a way to survive, okay?"
"Of course it's not good! How can one survive alone when two dragons fly together? If we die, we die together. If you want to save the fox fairy, I will accompany you to save her." Yunwen said firmly.
Having said this, I could only nod my head in gratitude at her, but time was running out and there was no time to be affectionate with her, so I hurried to the water's edge, estimated that I would need to take about eighteen steps to get the sword from the water. The ice would break, and I could then get ashore smoothly after getting the sword.
With the Golden Que Sword, I quickly transformed the Heavenly Master Talisman Wood Piece, and the sword tip shot out fire bullets rushing towards the Antelope Witch. However, it just glared at me, and all the Taoist evolutions returned to a pile of Qi and drifted away. At this time, it stood up, waved two fingers, and suddenly the river water surged violently. Hundreds of hands suddenly gathered around the Nine-tailed White Fox, like the hands of countless wandering ghosts, and faintly a shrill sound could be heard.
The nine-tailed white fox was held high in the air by countless hands that looked like waves or countless ghosts, and it let out tragic screams. Its tails were torn off one by one, and the piercing sound of flesh and blood being separated could be heard. Seeing this, I rushed over, regardless of everything, swung the Golden Que Sword, and smashed it down suddenly, trying my best to save the nine-tailed white fox.
However, brute force is ultimately no match for the ancient power of witchcraft and sorcery. It waved its two fingers again, and a ridge of earth suddenly rose from the ground, directly piercing through my shoulder blade. A sharp pain spread throughout my body nerves. At the same time, it laughed strangely, and gently grasped the stone. Immediately, countless sand, stones and dust condensed and formed a stone binding, embedding me inside.
Isn't this exactly the move I used to deal with the four-armed white ape? It has always known it.
At the other end, as soon as it blew, there was suddenly no sound of ripples on the river surface, and the waves that were holding the nine-tailed white fox turned into ice in an instant. I stood there in a daze, and then I understood what ancient power was. In that chaotic era when the world was just created, this was how power was explained. No wonder it was mentioned before the Investiture of the Gods.
Only then did he understand why the Four Seasons Mountain had distinct seasons and then suddenly disappeared, and why the river was warm one day and frozen the next. With these supernatural powers, all changes were easy for the Antelope Witch.
Dark clouds gathered madly in the sky, and the antelope witch shouted, "Agula!"
Suddenly, the sky flashed with thousands of white lights, as if cracks had shattered the sky. Under the strong light, I saw the last look of the nine-tailed white fox, which was already sad...
"Zhou Lang, I have tried my best."
Then, thousands of thunders struck down!
