Chapter 377: Unreliable Methods



"My precious job!" Lao Jia wailed.

Li Xiu and the others were not in the mood to gloat over other's misfortune, and their faces looked unhappy. This insect, which seemed to be harmless, could actually freeze even the materials for the divine throne into pieces. Looking at its eyes again, they felt something was not right.

"What the hell is this thing?" Jiu Xiaoyun subconsciously moved away from the bug.

Although we know that it is so slow and unlikely to hurt people, we still feel a sense of crisis.

It's like a person walking on a wooden plank on the ground, which is very easy to pass. However, if this plank is placed hundreds of meters in the air, the feeling will instantly be different.

"Such a powerful freezing power is undoubtedly at the god level, but why is its speed so slow and its physique too weak? It's really strange." Li Ming'er said as she looked at the insect. She couldn't figure out what was going on with this insect.

"Chief, please tell us in detail how you discovered it." Lao Bai said thoughtfully.

Li Xiu distanced himself from the insect and slowly circled in the yard, while recounting in detail the situation when he discovered the insect.

After listening to it, Lao Bai said, "So, it came for your skill ring. Give me the skill ring, and go to another direction by yourself to confirm whether it came for that ring or not."

Li Xiu took out the skill ring that the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast exploded and threw it to Lao Bai, then stared at the bug to see if it would turn towards Lao Bai.

After Li Xiu threw out the skill ring, the insect paused for a moment, but immediately crawled towards Li Xiu again, and did not turn around to chase Lao Bai who was holding the skill ring.

"It seems that it is not coming for the skill ring." Lao Bai took the skill ring and turned around, and moved closer to the bug. He was less than two steps away from the bug, but the bug still ignored him and continued to crawl slowly towards Li Xiu.

"Aren't they coming for the ring?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He had always thought that the bugs were coming for the ring, but he didn't expect that it wasn't the case.

Lao Bai threw the ring back to Li Xiu: "Think about it, what is it targeting?"

Li Xiu really couldn't figure out what it was coming for, so he simply threw the things he had on him to Lao Bai and the others.

But Li Xiu had thrown away all his belongings and was left with only the clothes on his body, but the bug remained unmoved and continued to crawl towards Li Xiu firmly.

"There's nothing left. It looks like it's coming for me." Li Xiu frowned.

Lao Bai pondered and said, "According to what you said, there is a wolf cave. There are many demons there, and they have lived there for a long time. If the bugs were there early, I guess all the demons would have died long ago."

"Now we can be sure that the bug didn't live in the wolf cave in the beginning. It came to the wolf cave to follow you because of your appearance. According to the timing at that time, there are only three possibilities for its target. You, the ring, and your life contract. The ring has been ruled out as the most likely target. Let's try your life contract now."

Li Xiu also thought about whether it was the evil spirit card. Lao Bai's idea coincided with his. Li Xiu summoned the evil spirit card and threw it directly to the bandit on the other side.

It was the first time for several people to see the evil spirit card, and they were all a little curious that Li Xiu’s natal contract was actually a card.

Although Ah Fei was holding the evil spirit card, the insect still had no intention of changing direction and continued to crawl towards Li Xiu.

"Now it seems that this is your own problem. You can only think about it carefully. Fortunately, its speed is very slow and you have enough time to think about it." Lao Bai said.

Ah Fei returned the evil spirit card to Li Xiu. Li Xiu took it back and thought to himself, "Could it be because of the young evil spirit in my body?"

"Chief, do you want to ask the president for help?" Lao Jia said.

"No need for now, let me think about it first. You guys go do your own things first." Li Xiu shook his head.

Seeing that they could not help much, everyone went back to do their own things, leaving Li Xiu alone to study the bug.

Although the insect crawled slowly, it seemed tireless and kept crawling towards Li Xiu.

There is no problem in the short term, but Li Xiu is just a human being after all, not a god.

It’s okay to not sleep for three or five days, or even ten days or half a month, but it’s impossible to not sleep forever.

It’s creepy to think about if this thing crawled onto Li Xiu’s body while he was sleeping.

The key is that this bug should not only be able to crawl slowly, otherwise it would not be possible to chase it out of the trial area.

This made Li Xiu unable to sleep at a long distance without any worries, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Since we can't find the cause, we can only try to destroy it." Li Xiu stretched out his finger, and an ice-blue light shone on the insect.

When the light of the evil spirit of life was used before, it was able to burn the insects directly. However, this time, the light of the evil spirit of death only made a layer of ice appear on the insects. It was unable to freeze them, and could not even slow down their crawling speed.

This result was within Li Xiu's expectations. It also had the same cold and yin attribute, so it was understandable that the light of the evil spirit of death had no effect on it.

Li Xiu summoned the forbidden gun again and used forbidden light of different skills to hit the insects.

It turned out to have some effect. After being hit by the ominous light bullet, the insect's route of movement obviously deviated. It kept circling around Li Xiu, but it still had no intention of giving up and kept crawling.

Li Xiu was very happy to see this. Several skill light bullets had an effect on the bug, but the bug still refused to give up and kept crawling around Li Xiu. Even though it knew it couldn't touch Li Xiu, it was unwilling to give up.

Soon, Li Xiu discovered that the power of the seven taboos could only affect the insect for a period of time, and soon it crawled towards Li Xiu again.

Li Xiu had no choice but to use the forbidden light, which directly blasted the insects into a pile of water. After the water dried up, the insects reappeared out of thin air.

Li Xiu tried various methods, but the results were not optimistic. Some forces could affect this strange insect, but could not kill it.

There was really no other way, so Li Xiu had to summon out the golden dinner knife. The evil king Luo was knowledgeable and might know the origin of this insect.

"You finally remembered me." King Evil Luo said dissatisfiedly.

"Let's talk later. Take a look at what this thing is first." Li Xiu said, pointing at the bug crawling towards him on the ground.

The golden knife flew up by itself, and as it approached the bug, it said, "Where did you get such a fat bug? When did you develop such a strong taste? I have no interest in bugs...ah..."

As the evil King Luo was speaking, he suddenly screamed, and a flash of golden light appeared behind Li Xiu. His speed was much faster than when he went there.

Li Xiu was actually delighted when he saw the reaction of the evil Luo King. He estimated that the evil Luo King was most likely to recognize what this thing was.

"You...you...how did you provoke this thing..." The evil king's voice seemed to tremble.

"What is this?" Li Xiu asked back.

"This is the Yellow Spring Worm from the Bottomless Pit. If it targets you, even a god-level demon will most likely die." The Evil King asked in a trembling voice, "How did it target you?"

Li Xiu had no choice but to tell the story of his encounter with the Yellow Springs Worm again. After listening to it, the Evil King Luo said in disbelief: "You really didn't do anything else?"

"I really didn't do anything. If it targeted us because we destroyed the ancient city, then it should have gone to find Mo Daocang instead of me." Li Xiu shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with that ancient city. Let alone destroying one ancient city, even if you destroy ten ancient cities, you will not be able to alarm the Yellow Springs Worm. This thing only exists in the magnetic pole cave of the bottomless pit. Legend has it that it is the clone of the peerless demon spirit in the magnetic pole cave. The magnetic pole cave leads to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs. This Yellow Springs Worm is what the peerless demon spirit uses to go deep into the Nine Nether Yellow Springs to absorb energy. After being immersed in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs for a long time, it has the extremely cold and yin power of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs. At the same time, it also has the magnetic light power of the magnetic pole cave. It is one of the most bizarre demon spirits in the world. Not only is it immortal, but once it sets its sights on someone, it will always move towards you as if it were attracted by a magnet..."

"Is the peerless evil spirit in the magnetic pole cave the king of the bottomless pit?" Li Xiu thought of a possibility.

Han Linger killed the king of the bottomless pit and made him into food for Li Xiu.

Although Li Xiu was not lucky enough to enjoy it, he still ate it in the end. Maybe this was the reason why the Yellow Springs Worm targeted him.

"Not really." King Evil Luo said, "The king of the bottomless pit is only the strongest demon spirit elected by the demon spirits in the bottomless pit, but the peerless demon spirit in the magnetic pole cave is a terrifying creature that has existed in the bottomless pit since it appeared in the world. The two are completely different concepts. Although the king of the bottomless pit is indeed a hegemon, that's all. The peerless demon spirit is the foundation for the bottomless pit to be one of the three forbidden areas along with the Sea of ​​Heaven and the Island of Eternal Life. The bottomless pit can still have another king if it loses one, but the peerless demon spirit is an irreplaceable existence."

"So, this Yellow Spring Worm targeting me should have nothing to do with my sister killing the King of the Bottomless Pit, right?" Li Xiu said.

"In theory, it shouldn't matter. That peerless demon spirit doesn't care who is the king of the bottomless pit. In its view, those demon spirits in the bottomless pit are nothing more than a group of slaves that support it. Who would go to so much trouble for the life and death of a slave?" said the evil king Luo.

"That's strange. If it's not because of that incident, why would this Yellow Springs worm target me? I haven't been to the bottomless pit, nor have I offended the peerless evil spirit in the magnetic pole cave." Li Xiudao also knew that the peerless evil spirit in the magnetic pole cave should be one of the four spirits suppressed under the spirit-suppressing stone.

"You really have never been to the bottomless pit?" King Luo also felt that this matter was too strange and did not quite believe what Li Xiu said.

"Unless that wolf cave is a bottomless pit." Li Xiu said.

"That's impossible. I know the place you are talking about. It's far away from the bottomless pit." The evil king denied Li Xiu's idea.

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Do you know how to get rid of this Yellow Springs worm, or trap it?" Li Xiu wanted to solve this problem quickly, otherwise he would really have trouble sleeping and eating.

"I am just a divine demon spirit. I am a million miles away from the terrifying existence in the magnetic pole cave. I can't deal with this thing. I'm afraid I can only ask that adult to help me solve this trouble." King Evil Luo said hurriedly.

"Are you unable to solve it, or are you afraid of offending the peerless evil spirit in the magnetic pole cave?" Li Xiu snorted coldly.

"I swear to God, I was entrusted by that gentleman to take good care of you. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to explain. If there is a way, why wouldn't I tell you?" The evil King Luo immediately cried out that he was wronged.

"Then there's nothing we can do. I don't know where my sister has gone. I'm afraid I won't be able to contact her for a while. I can only wait to die here." Li Xiu said and sat down directly. He didn't run away. He watched the insect gradually crawling towards him and was about to crawl onto his leg.

"No, let's keep some distance first..." The evil King Luo was shocked, but Li Xiu was not moved at all.

The bug was about to touch Li Xiu's pants, and the evil king shouted: "My little ancestor, you really want to kill me, please get up quickly, I have a way, what else can I say?"

"You should have said no earlier." Li Xiu stood up with a smile, putting some distance between himself and the bug.

The evil king said helplessly: "I do know a method, but I don't know if it really works. I just heard it from others, so I can't guarantee that it will work. And if this method really works, we will become enemies with the existence of the magnetic pole hole, and it will only be more troublesome to go to the Demon Kingdom in the future."

"Let's solve the current troubles first and deal with future troubles later." Li Xiu said with a smile.

King Eluo had no choice but to tell Li Xiu the method he had heard.

The Yellow Springs Worm has lived in the Nine Netherworld for many years. It is itself a creature of the underworld, so it is basically immortal and it is almost impossible to kill it.

In addition, it possesses the magnetic guiding nuclear light among the ten great divine lights, that is, the magnetic light in the magnetic pole cave. It is extremely powerful in itself and has almost no weaknesses.

However, everything has its own rules, and there is no absolute perfection in the world. King Eluo heard that the Yellow Springs worm also has a weakness. As long as he can target this weakness, he can kill the Yellow Springs worm directly.

"Are you sure you know what you are talking about? Are you kidding me?" After listening to the weaknesses described by the evil king Luo, Li Xiu widened his eyes and looked at the evil king Luo in disbelief.

"When I heard about it at the time, I also thought it was a joke. However, the person who said this is a high-ranking member of the Bottomless Pit, so it is somewhat credible. Of course, I only listened to it as an interesting story at the time, because I didn't know there were such things as Yellow Springs Worms. At that time, I thought that guy was bragging. It was not until I saw it today that I knew there really were such things as Yellow Springs Worms. Since the Yellow Springs Worms he talked about are real, I think this method should be true as well." The evil king Luo was obviously a little weak, and he was not sure whether this method was really useful.

"You want me to swallow the Yellow Spring Worm directly with my mouth. Do you think this method is really feasible?" Li Xiu couldn't help but wonder whether the evil King Luo wanted to kill him.

The freezing power of the Yellow Springs Worm was so strong that even divine-level materials could not withstand it. He swallowed the Yellow Springs Worm directly. It was estimated that before the Yellow Springs Worm entered his stomach, his esophagus and even his body were frozen to pieces.

"I also think this method is a bit weird, but what the other person said makes sense. He said that the Yellow Springs worm is a creature from the underworld, and what it fears most is yang energy. The human mouth is where yang gathers, and all living beings in the world enter through the mouth. That is where all yang is buried, and it is the most effective against the Yellow Springs worm. Don't touch it with your hands or anything, just put it directly into your mouth and swallow it in one breath. All yang overcomes yin, and the Yellow Springs worm will melt in your mouth, just like eating jelly, and you can swallow it down in one gulp, making it so dead that it can no longer die." said the evil king Luo.

"Lao Luo, I think he treats you well usually, right?" Li Xiu said slowly, staring at the golden dinner knife.

The evil king thought to himself, "What a good thing! You never thought of me when good things happened. When fighting, you always let me go first and I just wiped my butt. How dare you say you are good to me?"

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he quickly said, "We are as close as brothers, so of course you are very good to me."

Li Xiu smiled wryly and said, "Of course, I know you've suffered a lot following me during this time. But for the sake of my sister, you can't torture me to death, right?"

"Surely, how dare I mess with you? I heard all that. If I said even one word wrong, I will be struck by lightning and I will never have the chance to achieve peerless success in this life..." The evil king immediately swore, "And I also think this method is somewhat reliable. I didn't intend to tell you originally, but you forced me to say it, so I have no choice."

"There is no way we can not tell it, but we can't make up stories." Li Xiu asked again.

"I'm really not making it up. Well, I didn't want to tell you originally and I felt it was unnecessary. But since you said so, I have to tell you. I heard these things from the princess of the king of the bottomless pit. She said she heard it from the king of the bottomless pit, so I think it might not be true." said King Eluo.

"Princess of the Bottomless Pit, why should I tell you all this?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the evil King Luo.

"Well... forget it... that idiot is dead anyway... it doesn't matter what I say... I am the confidant of that princess..." said the evil King Luo.

"He's an adulterer, so what? Why put it in such nice words?" Li Xiu curled his lips.

"Hehe, don't say such harsh words. I'm just trying to comfort a lonely, helpless and hurt heart." said the evil king.

"Those things of yours have nothing to do with me. I just want to know whether this method is true or false?" Li Xiu said.

"I think it should be possible. I tried my best that night to find out this little information. She also swore that it was the King of the Bottomless Pit who said it himself and she would never lie to me." said the evil king Luo.

Li Xiu looked at the insect crawling towards him and felt that this was unreliable. If he swallowed such a horrible thing directly with his mouth, it would be fatal.

But apart from this method, Li Xiu really couldn't think of any other solution.

"Should I swallow it or not?" Li Xiu stared at the insect in a daze.
