Chapter 668 Tracking
Xiao Xixi noticed that King Nanyue's face had turned so pale that it was almost transparent, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
King Nanyue was already seriously ill and extremely weak. He was now forcibly calling upon his internal energy, and his body was overwhelmed. A sweet and fishy taste came up his throat, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
But she managed to hold on and not fall down, and continued to play the insect flute.
Xiao Xixi knew that this was her and her senior brother’s last chance to leave.
But if the two of them really left, King Nanyue would definitely not be able to hold on for long.
Once she loses, the Great Witch will definitely not let her go.
By then, she would have no way out.
Xiao Xixi made a decision quickly without much hesitation.
She extended her hand toward King Nanyue.
"Give me the flute and I'll help you play it."
King Nanyue stopped playing.
The flute sound stopped abruptly.
The movements of the poisonous insects slowed down, and the gaps they had just created were immediately filled by the poisonous snakes.
King Nanyue's body shook twice due to excessive damage and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Xixi was quick to support him in time.
Xiao Xixi helped her aside, asked the senior brother to help look after her, and then took the insect flute from her hand.
King Nanyue frowned and said, "The insect flute is different from other flutes. It's not enough to just make a sound, you have to make a corresponding melody. Can you do it?"
Xiao Xixi wiped the flute and said, "Let's give it a try."
She put the insect flute to her lips and blew gently.
The clear sound of a flute was then heard.
At first the melody she played was a little out of tune, but gradually she became more proficient and the melody became smoother and smoother.
In the end, the melody she played was exactly the same as the melody King Nanyue had just played, without the slightest error.
King Nanyue was stunned.
She couldn't help but look at Fang Wujiu beside her, her tone was surprised.
"Your junior sister is very good at playing the flute?"
Fang Wujiu had a complicated expression: "No, she is good at playing the suona."
King Nanyue: “…”
When Xiao Xixi first learned to play the suona from her third senior brother, she also learned other musical instruments, including the flute.
But she couldn't play the flute as smoothly as the suona, so after learning the basic playing techniques, she put the flute aside.
She had a good sense of music. After just listening once, she memorized the tune that King Nanyue had just played, and could even reproduce it perfectly.
Her internal energy is no worse than that of King Nanyue. In fact, because of her good health, she can circulate her internal energy more smoothly than King Nanyue, and the sound of the flute she plays is louder.
The poisonous insects were summoned by the sound of the flute and their attacks became more and more fierce.
They swarm up and in a blink of an eye can chew up a poisonous snake until not even a trace of it is left.
As the number of poisonous snakes continued to decrease, the witch's expression became more and more solemn.
He stared at Xiao Xixi with a look as if filled with poison and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Come on, everyone!"
Although the deterrent power of the insect flute is amazing, everyone present has already boarded the great wizard's pirate ship.
They had completely offended King Nanyue.
Once the arrow is drawn, there is no turning back. Now they can only go down this path until the end.
More than three hundred people drew their weapons and rushed forward shouting!
Xiao Xixi was still playing the flute and had no time to deal with those people.
King Nanyue couldn't move at this moment, and neither of them had the ability to fight back.
Fortunately, there was Fang Wujiu, who drew his sword and went forward to meet the enemy.
He was very skilled and knocked down several enemies in a short time. However, there were too many enemies, and they were mixed with all kinds of poisons and snakes, and they had endless tricks.
Fang Wujiu's two fists were no match for four hands and he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake.
The poison quickly spread throughout his body and his movements began to become slow.
The enemy seized the opportunity and swung his knife at his neck!
It seemed that Fang Wujiu was about to die at the hands of the enemy.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
A stone suddenly flew out from the side and hit the man's wrist exactly.
The man felt pain and subconsciously loosened his fingers, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Fang Wujiu took the opportunity to cut the opponent's throat with a sword.
The enemy fell in a pool of blood, and Fang Wujiu also shook twice.
The poison in his body was getting deeper and deeper.
If this continues, he will be poisoned to death even if he is not hacked to death by the enemy.
Then, stones kept flying out from the darkness, knocking away all the enemies who tried to attack Fang Wujiu.
After Xiao Xixi got rid of most of the poisonous snakes, she was finally able to free up her hands to control the poisonous insects to attack the Nanyue people.
The poisonous insects crawled forward like a carpet, making rustling sounds.
They swarm in and can eat a living person until only a skeleton is left.
When the Nanyue people saw this, they were all frightened and threw away their weapons and armor.
Who can resist such a ferocious poisonous insect?
Anyway, they can't stand it anymore.
They ran without a second thought.
When the Great Wizard saw this, he knew that the situation was hopeless. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing that they had all run away, Xiao Xixi called the poisonous insects back and let them return to the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects to rest.
She put down the insect flute and walked quickly to Fang Wujiu.
Fang Wujiu fell to the ground, his lips were purple, his limbs were weak, his pale face was covered in cold sweat, his mind was numb, and he looked in a very bad state.
Xiao Xixi called him several times, but there was no response from him, and she immediately became anxious.
At this time, King Nanyue took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from his arms.
"Here is the antidote."
Xiao Xixi hurried over, took the antidote, then poured out a pill and stuffed it into Fang Wujiu's mouth.
Fortunately, Fang Wujiu was still conscious and knew how to swallow.
After taking the medicine, Fang Wujiu's complexion gradually improved.
Xiao Xixi tried calling him "senior brother" again.
Fang Wujiu responded softly: "Yeah."
Xiao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.
The presence of a reaction means that the mind is clear, and it seems that the antidote is effective.
She thanked King Nanyue who was not far away and returned the insect flute to him.
King Nanyue, however, kept looking around, searching for something.
Xiao Xixi asked: "What are you looking at?"
King Nanyue said weakly.
"I'm looking for someone. Someone just helped us secretly. I want to know who it is."
She actually had a vague guess in her mind, but she didn't dare to believe it was true.
She was eager to know the answer.
Xiao Xixi looked around and saw no one.
At this time, she heard Fang Wujiu say softly.
"Master is here."
Xiao Xixi was shocked and said in disbelief: "Impossible? Isn't Master in Xuanmen?"
Fang Wujiu is still very weak and speaks weakly.
“Since Master could predict that King Nanyue was seriously ill, he could definitely predict that we would be in danger in Nanyue.
He won't let us come to Nanyue to die.
If I am not mistaken, Master has been following us quietly since the day we left Xuanmen. He has been secretly tracking us all the way."
Although he and his junior sister are very skilled in martial arts, their martial arts were all taught by their master. It would be very easy for the master to conceal his whereabouts from being discovered by them.
