Xu Fan looked closely and saw that they were blood-sucking worms similar to leeches, surging from the second floor to the first floor like a tide.
Those bloodsucking worms are the natural enemies of the Myriad Demon Blood Glaze. After being exposed to the Myriad Demon Blood Glaze, they shrank into a ball and clung tightly to Xu Fan's waist, not daring to let any part of their bodies touch the ground.
Xu Fan didn't dare to confront this strange creature head-on, and could only keep retreating.
Finally, having no other choice, they entered one of the rooms, and a lot of gurgling sounds came from outside the stone door.
The sound was like a hard stone slab being attacked by a mollusk, which then crashed to its death on the slab, and the sound was probably the corpse exploding.
The sound made Xu Fan feel nauseous. He didn't know why this creature would appear in the castle. Could it be a part of their so-called god's body?
Once there was no more noise outside, Xu Fan quietly opened the door.
The ground was covered with the corpses of those bloodsucking worms.
The fluid from their bodies filled the entire walls and door panels.
Strangely, the group of bloodsucking worms deliberately avoided the area where the gray-robed man was standing, forming a unique semi-circular area under their feet.
It's as if these one-headed people have an invisible barrier protecting them from these bloodsucking worms.
The ground was slippery, and one wrong step could send you sprawling and covered in those disgusting insects.
In order to avoid such terrible consequences, Xu Fan took steps towards the second-floor staircase.
There was no movement from that side, as if nothing had happened, except for the splashes of liquid on the stairs and walls.
Finally, having no other choice, in order to avoid slipping, he had to take out the Five-Spear Sky-Supporting Fork from his pocket.
Xu Fan landed on the first-floor steps like a pole vaulter, then leaped up and jumped directly towards the second-floor platform.
To Xu Fan's surprise, the second floor was also covered with dead insects.
Xu Fan had no choice but to use the Five-Flaming Sky-Supporting Fork to pierce the ground directly to stabilize his body.
That's how a tragedy was averted. But when he looked around, he realized that it looked like a scene from a fierce battle.
A giant's corpse appeared in the very center of the second-floor platform.
The giant's entire body was covered with holes, as if something was bursting out of his body.
Judging from the giant's behavior, he must have been under some kind of witchcraft. After the swarm of insects inside him emptied his body, they began to desperately burrow out of his body and then burst out.
The bloodsucking worms that Xu Fan saw earlier were not traps or mechanisms set up here. Rather, after the giant was infected with witchcraft, a large number of worm eggs hatched in his body, leaving them nowhere to hide and forcing them to desperately rush towards the first floor.
However, because there were so many of these bloodsucking worms and they had nowhere to escape, the worms squeezed each other, causing their bodies to burst.
After learning the whole story, Xu Fan was somewhat shocked.
He knew very well that mermaids, who lived in the deep sea, could not possibly have learned the witchcraft and sorcery of the Miao region of China.
There must be other people in this underground palace, and they are experts in using Gu poison.
Xu Fan came to the giant and saw that there was not a single patch of good skin on his body. Apart from a large hole bursting in his abdomen, the rest of his skin was covered with numerous holes, which were where the insects had crawled out.
After finally finding a few undamaged patches of skin, which were covered in fish scales, it seems that this giant is also a mermaid who has lived in the deep sea for a long time.
This time, he was responsible for protecting the woman in red so that he could complete the ritual of resurrecting the evil god. However, he did not expect that another group of people would beat him to it and kill him with witchcraft.
"That mysterious person hiding behind the scenes seems to have ill intentions!"
Without further delay, Xu Fan followed the trail and walked forward. There were many mermaid warriors with human upper bodies and fish tails on the ground. Their bodies were almost identical to the giant's, and they all died from exploding bodies.
However, because of their physique, they were too thin and lacked nutrition, so they didn't produce many blood-sucking worms.
Several live insects were wriggling on their corpses, gnawing at the few remaining bits of flesh.
This kind of Gu technique was so disgusting that Xu Fan couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
The further you go in, the more bloody it becomes; the stench is overwhelming.
At this moment, a corpse dressed in punk clothes caught Xu Fan's attention.
The adult did not die from the Gu poison; on the contrary, his body was intact and he died very quietly, looking as if he were asleep.
Xu Fan came to his side, checked his pulse, and looked at his breathing to confirm that he was dead.
Xu Fan struggled to turn him over and discovered that his entire back had been pierced by a harpoon.
He had already turned into pieces of rotten flesh. It seems that he was attacked by these mermaids because he was protecting the person who cast the curse.
It was because of his selfless protection that the witchcraft was activated, causing the mermaids to explode and die.
But where did the most crucial woman in the red robe and the person from that afternoon go?
And who exactly is this mysterious person?
Xu Fan searched him and found a badge that looked very familiar in his shirt pocket.
I never expected that this punk heavy metal-dressed person would actually be a member of the Restoration Society.
The number on the badge he was wearing was clearly the Queen of Clubs.
The person who uses such a powerful Gu technique must be at the K level.
So where did that person with the K-level medal go?
Xu Fan closed his eyes and tried his best to use his true energy to sense the surrounding environment. He found that the entire second floor was empty, and there were four more floors above.
Without delay, he set off immediately. He ignored the corpses scattered throughout the hall and headed towards the third floor in the direction of the mermaid corpses.
Xu Fan was dumbfounded when he arrived on the third floor; the entire stairwell was now blocked by a large amount of ice.
There was absolutely no space left for Xu Fan to go up.
Within the frozen block of ice, Xu Fan spotted a familiar figure.
It was the shadowy figure of the Jack of Spades.
The little girl in the black robe had now transformed into her three-dimensional form.
They were frozen right in the middle of the stairs leading to the third floor.
Xu Fan could clearly see that he was frozen in place the moment he jumped.
Moreover, through Xu Fan's perception of his true energy, the shadowy figure still had a faint heartbeat.
