Li Xiu was a little hesitant. Although the method of the evil king Luo was very unreliable, there was still some room for maneuver.
The reason for hesitation is not whether this method is feasible, but the consequences of using this method and the purpose of the Yellow Spring Worm.
Li Xiu suspected that the reason why the Yellow Spring Worm kept chasing him was related to the young demon spirit in his body, but the young demon spirit had not responded.
Li Xiu has no way to confirm whether the young demon spirit doesn’t care about the Yellow Spring Worm at all, or the Yellow Spring Worm has nothing to do with the young demon spirit at all.
"The place where the young demon spirit was discovered was near the Sea and Sky Trial Gate. Its parents are very likely to be from the Sea and Sky Trial Gate. Theoretically, it is more likely to be related to the Sea of Sky. The Yellow Springs Worm came from the Bottomless Pit, so it seems unlikely that it has anything to do with the young demon spirit, unless it has some special intentions." Li Xiu calculated secretly in his heart.
Li Xiu thought about it and decided that it would be better to give it a try. Fortunately, with the experience of Lao Jia, Li Xiu knew that short-term contact with the Yellow Springs worm would not cause major problems immediately. As long as he could cut off the contacted flesh in time and decisively, he could prevent the spread of the cold energy.
Although he could find someone to try it on his behalf, Li Xiu had other ideas and did not do so.
Having made up his mind, Li Xiu no longer retreated. He summoned the Forbidden Spear to transform it into flower armor, and the red and blue dual spirits possessed his body at the same time. Then he squatted down, stretched out a finger, and touched the Yellow Spring Worm that was crawling towards him.
With the protection of the forbidden flower armor and the red and blue dual cast spirits on his body, if there is any problem, Li Xiu will not seek credit but avoid mistakes and will directly cut off the contact with the Yellow Springs Worm.
Li Xiu's fingertips touched the Yellow Spring Worm, and it felt like touching jelly, with a bouncy texture that was very nice.
The coldness on the body of the Yellow Springs worm is indeed very strong, or it should not be called coldness, but a kind of evil energy, not simply cold.
Strangely, Li Xiu did not feel any damage to the flower armor, nor did he sense any invasion of cold air.
What surprised Li Xiu even more was that when his fingers touched the Yellow Spring Worm, the Yellow Spring Worm actually stopped and rubbed its body against the tip of Li Xiu's fingers, like a puppy being stroked on the head, as if it was enjoying it very much.
"How could this happen?" King Luo said in surprise.
Although he had only heard about the horror of the Yellow Springs Worm, even if it was a bit exaggerated, it shouldn't be like this, right? It was just like a pug.
Li Xiu himself was a little surprised, and at the same time he became more suspicious that the reason why the Yellow Spring Worm behaved like this might be related to the young demon spirit.
While Li Xiu was thinking, the Yellow Springs worm moved again, but this time, it did not climb onto Li Xiu's body, but circled around Li Xiu.
Li Xiu looked at it with some confusion. When the Yellow Springs worm crawled before, it would leave some frost where it crawled. It was the same now, but the frost left behind this time was a little different.
The body of the Yellow Springs worm was as transparent as crystal. There was no secret in its body at all. There was no blood or bone inside it. But this time, wherever it crawled, frost the color of blood appeared.
The blood frost drew a circle around Li Xiu, and every time it crawled a certain distance, its body shrank. When it completed the circle, its body was less than half of its previous size.
"What the hell is this? Could it be a skill like drawing a circle on the ground to create a prison?" Li Xiu thought to himself but did not act rashly.
After the Yellow Springs Worm drew a complete blood circle, it stopped in front of Li Xiu again. Its large silkworm-like body was raised up and twisting in a strange posture.
"Old Luo, what's going on?" Li Xiu asked the evil King Luo.
The evil king was obviously confused as well, and said suspiciously: "From the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be using any skills. Instead, the blood frost seems to be its own energy essence. From this point of view, this is like a sacrificial ritual."
"Sacrificial ceremony? I'm not its father, why would it offer sacrifice to me?" Li Xiu saw that the Yellow Springs worm lowered its body from time to time, and then stood up again. It made such movements several times, which really looked a bit like a sacrifice.
"How should I know? I have never seen a Yellow Spring Worm before. I have only heard about it." The Evil King muttered, and then continued, "I am a little suspicious now. Those things I heard may not be all true. Maybe this Yellow Spring Worm is not the clone of the peerless demon spirit. Otherwise, with the arrogance of such a being, how could it allow its clone to do such a thing."
"It's the same as saying nothing." Li Xiu frowned.
While the two people were talking, the Yellow Spring Worm seemed to have completed the ritual and its body stopped its strange movements.
Li Xiu stared at the Yellow Spring Worm vigilantly, wanting to know what it would do next, when he suddenly saw a little red light flash inside the Yellow Spring Worm's body.
The moment the red light appeared, the blood circle it had drawn before also lit up at the same time, like a blood-red halo, surrounding Li Xiu.
The body of the Yellow Spring Worm shrank rapidly and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had merged into the blood-red halo.
At the same time as the Yellow Springs worm disappeared, a blood-red halo rose from the ground at an incredible speed.
Li Xiu immediately burst out with light energy all over his body, and at the same time, he leaped up and rushed into the air like lightning.
He was fast, but the blood-colored halo was even faster. As soon as Li Xiu's toes left the ground, the blood-colored halo had risen to his neck and instantly shrank and strangled Li Xiu's neck.
The light of truth blossomed on Li Xiu's hands. He wanted to grab the shrinking blood-red halo, but he grabbed nothing. The blood-red halo passed through the blood armor like a phantom and disappeared.
Li Xiu immediately took off his blood armor and took out a mirror. He saw a circle of red bloodstains on his neck, as if someone had drawn a circle of red lines on his neck with red ink.
Except for a hint of chill when the blood-colored halo just touched his body, Li Xiu no longer felt anything now.
"Lao Luo, what's going on?" Li Xiu asked, touching the blood line on his neck.
The blood line seemed to be growing inside his flesh, and his fingers could not feel its existence at all.
"Don't ask me, I really don't know." King Evil Luo said helplessly.
Li Xiu didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but he did not sense any hostility from the Yellow Springs Worm towards him just now, and he also vaguely sensed that the young demon spirit in his body seemed to have a strange reaction, otherwise it would not have allowed the Yellow Springs Worm to complete that strange sacrificial ritual so easily.
The reaction of the young demon spirit was also very strange. The previous reactions of the young demon spirit always made Li Xiu feel hungry, but this time it was completely different. It seemed to be eager to see it, but also seemed to have some concerns, and some hesitation in its desire.
Li Xiu originally thought that when the Yellow Springs Worm took action, the young demon spirit would also take action. However, until blood lines appeared on his neck, the young demon spirit did not move and remained silent again.
"Could it be that my judgment is wrong, and the young demon spirits are not interested in the Yellow Spring Worms?" Li Xiu thought to himself.
Li Xiu tried to use the Fire Lotus Sword to cut the skin where the blood line was, to see if he could wipe off the blood line.
As a result, after the wound healed, the blood line still appeared on the new skin, as if the blood line was born with him.
Li Xiu tried a few more methods, but it was still difficult to remove the blood line. However, the blood line didn't seem to have any effect on his body. He couldn't even sense a trace of energy fluctuation, as if it was just an ordinary tattoo.
At this point, Li Xiu had no choice but to observe the situation first. He estimated that this matter could only be solved by dealing with the young demon spirits.
Fortunately, Li Xiu also realized that the Yellow Springs Worm's purpose was not to kill him, otherwise it would have already taken action.
Since there was no impact for the time being, Li Xiu just ignored it for the time being. He recalled the information about the gods and demons that he had seen and planned to start hunting down the gods and demons frantically to obtain the gods’ gems.
Before leaving, Li Xiu went to his own small treasury and saw that the Cat's Eye gem was still inside, which was not surprising.
He took out the Cat's Eye Gem and called Jiu Xiaoyun over.
"I give you the Cat's Eye. From now on, you can leave or stay as you wish." After Jiu Xiaoyun came, Li Xiu gave him the Cat's Eye gem.
"The long-cherished wish of my family for so many generations has finally come true. Thank you, Chief. From now on, I, Jiuxiaoyun, will be a member of the technician team while I am alive, and a ghost of the skill team after I die." Jiuxiaoyun took the gem and said with a complicated expression.
"It's just a gem, not that serious. I will be heading to the Sea of Heaven in a while. I don't know whether this trip will be a blessing or a curse, and I don't know whether I will be able to come back alive. These are just external things. I have never taken them to heart, and you don't have to do so either." Li Xiu said lightly.
Jiu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Chief, what do you think of me, Jiu Xiaoyun? Some people think that if you have 100 yuan and give me 99 yuan, that's good, but if you have 10,000 yuan and give me 100 yuan, that's insignificant. But I don't think so. No matter how much you have, it's all earned through your own efforts. You have given me what I need, which means you have done me a favor. How can I, Jiu Xiaoyun, be someone who doesn't repay a favor? From now on, as long as you are still the chief of the technician team, I, Jiu Xiaoyun, will always be a member of the technician team."
"What if I'm gone?" Li Xiu said softly.
"Then I will support this technician team for you and wait for you to come back." Jiu Xiaoyun said.
"In that case, I really have one favor to ask of you." Li Xiu pondered.
"The chief's business is my business. Just give me orders. I will do my best and will never be perfunctory. But I have to send the Cat's Eye back to the family first. This matter is too important to my family. I hope the chief can forgive me." Jiu Xiaoyun said frankly.
Li Xiu nodded: "After I go to Tianzhihai, if I can't come back, I hope you can help me take care of Zaizai and raise her."
"Didn't Miss Ming'er take good care of you?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked doubtfully.
"If I can't come back, I don't want Zai Zai to have anything to do with Changshengtian anymore, and I don't want anyone from Changshengtian to see her again. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Xiu said.
"I understand. Don't worry. If you can't come back, I will take Zai Zai away from Changshengtian and go to a place where no one can find her. I will raise her like my own daughter." Jiuxiaoyun said seriously.
"Then I feel relieved." Li Xiu nodded slightly.
After Jiuxiaoyun left, Li Xiu called Afei to go to the Trial Gate together. Before he went to the Sea of Heaven, he hoped that Afei could have some self-protection ability.
After passing the trial with Ah Fei and arriving at the trial site, Ah Fei suddenly stared at Li Xiu and asked, "Do you already know who the God who killed my whole body is?"
Li Xiu had no intention of hiding anything, and nodded, "Although I'm not sure if it's that person, but even if it's not him, the person you face in the end will still be him. I'm not his opponent yet, and neither are you."
"Guan Jinghao from Space City?" asked the Fei directly.
"Yes." Li Xiu told the story of Guan Jinghao making clones, and then sighed: "Given Guan Jinghao's character, he should not disdain to kill ordinary people like your parents himself. It is most likely that it was his clone who did it."
"Got it. Let's go." The bandit didn't ask any more questions.
Li Xiu took A Fei to look for the gods and demons. On the way, he gave A Fei some resources that he could not use, so that she could improve her strength as much as possible.
Li Xiu felt that his trip to Tianhai might cause a huge change, and he hoped that Afei and the others could survive the big change.
…
In the laboratory of the Magical Suit Research Institute, there is a dress-like magic suit with densely packed light threads connected to it. Those light threads are continuously transmitting light energy into the magic suit, making the light energy on the magic suit stronger and stronger, until the entire magic suit is almost turning into light.
"Mr. Guan, the values of the magic equipment are fluctuating violently. Should we continue?" Several old researchers who were staring at the values kept reporting them, looking very nervous.
"Go on." The old official remained unmoved and said firmly.
"Mr. Guan, if such drastic fluctuations continue, there will probably be great risks. If something unexpected happens, all your years of hard work will be ruined, and it may be difficult to gather these materials again." Professor Xu reminded.
The old official stared at the magic suit that was about to turn into light and said, "It is because there is no way to find a substitute for those materials, so I can only give it a try. If I don't try now, I will never know the result. Do you think that if we try again, we will not encounter the current problem? Besides, when can we gather so many magic cores to try again?"
"That's true. I just think it would be a shame if it was destroyed. You've spent your entire life on this magic suit..." said Professor Xu.
The old official smiled and said, "As long as I am not dead, it is not a lifetime. If it is ruined, it is ruined. At worst, I can start all over again. If I don't even have this awareness, why should I do scientific research?"
Professor Xu did not hesitate and laughed, "That's right. If you don't fail, you will never know where you went wrong. Come on, then."
Under the command of the two, many researchers in the institute were constantly busy, various instruments were constantly flashing, and the values on the instruments were fluctuating rapidly.
Bang!
Suddenly, one of the light threads connecting the magic suit broke.
Everyone's faces changed drastically. Ximen Guan and Professor Xu hurriedly made adjustments, hoping to stabilize the situation.
But before the situation could stabilize, the light threads began to break again, and they continued to break, one after another.
"The strength of the light energy transmission fiber is not enough. Although it is made of the material of that divine demon, it still cannot withstand such strong light energy transmission..." Professor Xu said loudly.
"Stop the experiment." Ximen Guan made a prompt decision and ordered to stop the experiment, then sat down on the chair dejectedly.
Stopping the experiment means failure. This experiment almost emptied the savings of the institute. If we want to do it again, we don’t know how many more years we will have to wait.
Professor Xu kept directing the researchers to cut off various instruments, but the light transmission fibers continued to break, with many fibers breaking at a time.
As the instrument was turned off, the light energy furnace slowly stopped working and the light energy inside gradually weakened.
However, once the solar energy furnace is running, it cannot be stopped all at once. The light energy in the solar energy furnace can only be gradually controlled and dispersedly transmitted to the storage device.
Seeing that the light energy furnace was slowly stopping, it suddenly started running wildly again, outputting light energy even more crazily than before.
The entire light energy furnace was like red-hot steel. A large number of magic cores inside were detonated to release light energy, and the output of light energy increased instead of decreased.
Those light energy transmission fibers could not withstand such terrifying light energy and broke faster. In a blink of an eye, a large number of light energy transmission fibers were disconnected.
There is less than one-third of the light thread connecting the magic suit left, but the light energy input into the magic suit is several times more than before.
"Cut off the light energy transmission fiber..." The old official jumped up and rushed to the place connected to the light energy furnace.
"Don't go over there, the light energy is too strong, you can't get close!" Professor Xu desperately held the old official back. The old researcher who wanted to cut off the light energy transmission fiber had not even gotten close when his protective clothing was burned by the light energy and started to burn.
Almost in an instant, the man's entire body was burning with flames.
It was Qiu Tianyu who saw the opportunity quickly. Wearing his magic suit, he directly picked up the coolant and sprayed it on the man, putting out the fire on the researcher and pulling him out.
"All personnel evacuate immediately." The old official gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Mr. Guan, we can't retreat... If we retreat now... everything will be lost... We can still try again..." the old researcher shouted with red eyes.
"If you lose something, you can create another one. Life is more important." Professor Xu shouted loudly.
"We are already this old, we are not afraid of death, let's try again." The old researcher did not back down at all, his eyes were already red.
They all knew in their hearts that if everything was ruined this time, they might not get a second chance in their lifetime.
"Lao Xu, let's try again." The old official said, staring at the light energy furnace that could explode at any time.
"How do we fight? It's out of control now, and the solar energy furnace may explode at any time..." said Professor Xu.
"If the solar energy furnace really explodes, how far do you think we old guys can run?" The old official's words made Professor Xu stunned.
"Is the spectrum editor working properly?" the old official asked an old researcher who was guarding the instrument.
“Normal.” The old researcher yelled.
"What about the photon-energy particle collider?"
"normal!"
…
With each question and answer, everyone was shouting desperately, as if only in this way could they be heard.
"Then let's bet our lives. Use our knowledge and skills to fight the god of death. Let's see who will take our lives first, or we will complete this final experiment first..." The old official stared at the magic suit with burning eyes, and finally muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Old buddy, we have survived half of our lives. If we get through this last level, we will all be free."
