The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 69 The Old Man and the Old Man
Wuming and Gewei stared at each other, staring at each other in a stalemate, as if to see who had more confidence.

In the end, Gewei gave up, and his face seemed to have aged a bit:

"How did you see it?"

"Illusions, mimicry, and light magic." Nameless said, "I've seen them a lot, they're just tricks."

Speaking of Wuming, he also changed his form, becoming Gewei, Haida, and finally a multi-handed corrupted worm.

The worm opened its mouth and made a nameless voice:
"So, old bug, you are talking to me in a disguise, you can't blame me for doubting you?"

Gewei was silent for a moment:

"Okay, now that I know the bottom line, can I say my commission?"

"What's the rush? They say I want to go and have a look first." Chong Zi swaggered out of the cabin, twisting his buttocks.

"You won't find mercury if you go there." Gewei said, "There are seals, secrets, and hidden spells in Selia Town."

The bug turned back: "Can you provide information?"

Guwei said: "I can provide you with mercury, as long as you do me this favor."

Chongzi hesitated for a moment: "What are you talking about first? If you're going to be immoral, you'll have to pay more."

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to do bad things." Gewei felt a little melancholy, "I need you to help me heal a girl. The girl's name is Millison, and it's in a church on the cliff behind Selia Town."

"Healing? What's wrong with her?" Worm asked.

"She is suffering from a rotten disease, and now she is bedridden." Gewei said.

"Corruption disease, I heard it's quite serious." The worm said, "Did you just get infected?"

"No, she has actually been ill for a long time, but her body is strong and she didn't break out, but she was seriously injured before, and she fell into the Ionian swamp to aggravate her infection, so she fell ill." Gewei explained.

"Why don't you treat it yourself?"

"It's an incurable disease," Guwa said.

The bug stretched out a hand from behind and scratched his head:

"You first said let me treat the girl, and now you say it's an incurable disease?"

The worms approached Guwei's face, mouthparts trembling:
"You are very suspicious."

Guwei's face twitched.

He was indeed suspicious, and he did have other thoughts, but Gewei felt aggrieved by being suspected for this reason.

"It can't be cured, but it can be suppressed!" Gewei said, "There is a pure golden needle that can suppress corruption."

"Where is it?" Wuming asked.

"In the Ionian swamps," said Guwei.

Chong Zi raised his head back, as if he heard something unbelievable and was shocked:

"You asked me to find a needle in the swamp?"

Chongzi continued: "It's still you, the old Chongzi who is a corrupt family member, let me look for it alone—are you human?"

The worm swings its arms around it:
"Oh, you are indeed not human, but your intention to lure people into the swamp to feed worms is too obvious, I will be fooled? I have a very high IQ!"

Gewei watched Chongzi's tiny hands swinging back and forth, even with the appearance of a bug, he couldn't hide his fright.

There was a drop of sweat on his face, and he didn't know how to deal with Wuming's attitude.

If there is no ghost in his heart, he can tell the truth.But now that the disguise has been seen through, loopholes may appear in the original series of plans.

He needs time to rethink.

Gewei said slowly: "The golden needle is kept by a veteran, and it is in the center of the swamp. The swamp has not been poured in, and the bugs can't snatch it, so I ask you."

The bug touched its chin with one hand:

"Okay, I'll go and have a look. If you lie to me, be prepared to bleed."

Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He wants to send Wuming away, and then sort out his plan carefully.

But the worm didn't move its nest, and said:

"Can you show me your quicksilver first? I don't want to be a white wolf."

"Don't worry about this." Gewei was very confident now, he stood up simply, and stretched out his hand to Wuming, "Lend me your staff."

In the phantom of the worm, an iron hand stretched out and handed the magic staff that Guwei had just picked up.

Gewei weighed his staff: "Actually, there is a magic that can directly create mercury. It is Selia's night magic, a secret method inherited from the Eternal City."

He came out of the cabin and said:
"Mercury is poisonous and dangerous. There's a giant dog out there. I just happened to use it as an experiment to show you—"

Gewei was going to take the giant dog outside the house that was guarding his house for surgery, but when he went out, he saw that the giant dog had been broken into pieces.

The Falling Star Beast was standing aside, with a piece of minced meat on the corner of its jaw.

The corner of Gewei's mouth twitched:
"Then let's test it in an open space."

Gewei waved his staff, and the pyroxene on the top of the staff gave off a light like the dark blue night sky, and then a cluster of silver smoke precipitated from the light and spread around.

Countless silver particles condensed and rolled on the ground, and gradually volatilized into the air.

The bug bent down and observed the tiny silver particles: "So this is mercury..."

Gewei said, "Can I go get the golden needle now?"

Chongzi nodded, twisted and twisted and rode on the Falling Star Beast: "I'll try it, I don't guarantee it will work."

"I will pray for you." Guwei said.

Gewei watched Wuming leave and returned to the cabin.The light and shadow dissipated, and he turned into a big bug with many hands, which was exactly the appearance of the corrupted family members transformed by Wuming.

The corrupt family member said: "I will pray for you, and pray that you are the right person..."

For him, Nameless wasn't the first to fade, and it won't be the last.

Only those who are physically strong and able to obtain golden needles can go to the church to meet Millison and become her hero.

Gewei curled up on the ground, reorganizing the plan, intending to make Wuming fall into the trap smoothly.

"He saw through my disguise at a glance, but after I spoke, he relaxed. Could it be that he is not hostile to the corrupt family members..." Gewei muttered, "No, after all, he is a human being, so he has to come up with a lie... "

========
Wuming didn't know that Gewei was scheming against him from behind, and he had already reached the middle of the swamp and met the veteran.

The veteran was wearing a thick armor and an animal skin cloak. The shape of the armor was a bit like the lord of Moen City that Wuming had buried.

The veteran holds a scarlet military flag with a sharp top that can be used as a spear.

The veteran stood tall, standing in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by various traces left by the war.

Seeing Wuming, the veteran showed disgust on his face:
"insect……"

The veteran raised the flag spear and was about to assassinate Wuming.

"Stop, stop." Nameless said, "I'll take a look, a bug asked me to send you a message."

The veteran ignored him at all and buried himself in the charge.

Nameless and helpless: "Can't you be more peaceful?"

He stretched out a hand, the light golden halo spread, and put a halo on the veteran's body.

The veteran who was still rushing towards the nameless staggered, almost fell, and managed to balance his body, but he couldn't run, so he could only walk slowly towards the nameless.

"What kind of sorcery is this?" The veteran was shocked.

Wuming calculated the distance between the two sides, and the time it would take for the veteran to walk to him, and sat comfortably on the back of the Falling Star Beast:
"I'll just ask something, and I'll leave after I'm done. I don't want to fight you, and you can't beat me."

"The tone is not small." The veteran walked forward unwillingly, but he was wearing heavy armor, and he was almost unable to move at this time.

The veteran stopped moving forward and threw the military flag on the ground, as if he wanted to use it as a crutch to support his body.

The tattered red military flag fluttered in the wind, and under the flag, more than a dozen ghost-like spirit soldiers appeared.

These soul soldiers appeared, but they also had halos on their bodies and moved slowly.

The veteran raised the military flag, waved the military flag, and the wind danced.

The hurricane drove the scarlet corruption on the ground and spread outward.

To deal with the former enemy, this move can tear the opponent's armor and skin, and in this scarlet land, it will be infected with scarlet corruption immediately.

The veteran saw Wuming as a bug, and didn't expect the opponent to be infected with bugs. He raised the hurricane to help.

The hurricane rolled up the spirit soldiers around him and threw them to Wuming.

Now, even if he moved slowly, Wuming was placed within the range of the soldiers' attack.

This method of throwing soldiers over is certainly not a conventional tactic. The soldiers are all crawling on the ground, and the enemy can directly take the opportunity to kill several soldiers.

This is a suicide attack.

Even though those who attacked him were some spirit bodies, Wuming could still feel a kind of ferocity in them.

Wuming was helpless: "I can't do anything but fight, right?"

He waved his hand, the circle of light disappeared, and the originally slow-moving soldiers disappeared, attacking Wuming even more ferociously.

I saw the nameless incarnation of the worm standing upright, with dozens of hands raised all over his body.

The veteran narrowed his eyes, he knew what it was.

This is the posture in which the bugs launch their silk attack.

The bugs' filaments are quite powerful, and can almost destroy a solid armor with one blow.

The experienced veteran immediately waved the military flag and let out a cry.

Red light diffused from the military flag, covering the veteran and all spirit soldiers.

This is similar to the prayer effect of the golden oath.

Not only can it boost the morale of soldiers spiritually, but it can also practically give them protection, making them braver, more sensitive, and more tenacious.

With this layer of protection, the soldiers of the spirit body can withstand an impact from the worm silk, and chop the hateful worm under the cow.

But the familiar worm thread didn't come out from behind the worm. The worm raised his hands high, and then pointed each hand precisely at a soldier.

What is this for?The veteran was puzzled.

A smudge of pink came into the veteran's eyes.

The weapons of the spirit soldiers who had stabbed at the Falling Star Beast turned around one after another, avoiding Wuming.

The spirit soldiers raised their weapons and turned towards the veteran, with the red light of the veteran's protection still shining on their bodies.

"Respect the old and love the young." Wuming shouted from a distance.

The guarded soldiers were really brave. They tore off the veteran's military flag, pushed him to the ground, and kicked and punched him.

The veteran didn't resist, he was wearing heavy armor, and let the spirit soldiers punch and kick him.

The moment that soft light appeared, his mind was captured and he lost the will to resist.

After a while, the pink glow on the soldiers dissipated, and the red light also disappeared, and they finally stopped.

"Stand back." The veteran commanded.

With an order, the spirit soldiers dispersed one after another.

The veteran coughed twice, picked up the military flag on the ground, stood up with support, and stared at Wuming:

"Why are you charming?"

"Probably because I'm so charming." The big bug stood on the head of the falling star beast, twisting its enchanting figure back and forth.

The veteran looked complicated, looking at the dancing bug, he didn't know what to say.

Nameless stopped: "Finally willing to talk about it? But why? My charm should not have affected you, do you really think this bug's body is full of charm? You are so strange."

The veteran said: "That is my master's power."

"Owner?"

"Mikayla." The veteran said lightly.

This is a well-known name in the entire border, and he only needs to say the name, and he can feel that the glory is with him.

"Who is it?" Wuming asked.

"Mikaela, don't you know? Are you from the junction?"

"I'm a faded person, and I'm really not from the borderland." Wuming said.

The veteran looked suspiciously at the body of the nameless bug:

"Mimic?"

"Know the goods." Wuming said, he thought for a while, "Mikayla...seems a bit familiar..."

"Of course it sounds familiar, Mikaela-sama is the closest demigod to God." The veteran said.

Wuming is noncommittal. Although he has a little impression, Mikaela is not the purpose of his trip:

"Let's get down to business. A worm asked me to find a golden needle. It said it was on your body. I heard it can be used to cure corruption."

The veteran took off the armor on his body, and he could see a golden spot on his chest.

"It's really on the 'body'." Wuming said.

"Otherwise, if I stay in this swamp for so long, I won't be poisoned?" said the veteran.

"Then I took the golden needle and you are going to die?"

"I lost, and if you want to take it, I can't help it." The veteran didn't care about the golden needle, "Where did you learn the charm?"

"From my teacher." Nameless said.

The veteran is clearly not happy with this nonsense.

"Not from Mikaela." Nameless said, "I'm sure of that."

"My master also often uses mimicry, how do you know it's not?" The veteran was a little unwilling.

"Does your master know this?"

A long flaming whip was thrown from Wuming's arm and drawn to the veteran.

The blazing flames burned fiercely, the red fungus on the ground was charred black, and the animal hair on the veteran's cloak was smoked and curled.

Nameless said, "A teacher taught it."

The veteran's eyes were sad: "No."

"You look sad, what happened to your master?" Wuming asked.

"Missing." The veteran said, "I have been guarding here, guarding the master's golden needle, and I don't know if they have found Mikaela-sama."

The veteran smiled bitterly:
"But since you haven't heard of it, it seems that you haven't found it yet."

"Missing..." Wuming was stunned.

He remembered the source of this familiar feeling.

"It's the man of God who was kidnapped by the blood king, right?" Wuming said.

This is what Fan Lei said when he wanted to win him over and told him about the deeds of the blood dynasty.

Because Fan Lei was too annoying, Wuming didn't take it to heart, and only remembered it after being reminded by the veteran.

"Blood King?" The veteran immediately overflowed with murderous aura, "Where is he?"

"Is it underground?" Wuming was unsure, "Someone from the Blood Dynasty has tried to win me over, but I'm not interested, so I didn't understand it carefully."

The veteran inserted it into his chest, took out the golden needle, and handed it to Wuming:

"Here, thank you."

The veteran raised his gun and was about to go out.

"Not guarding here anymore?" Wuming asked.

"Since we have learned of the lord's whereabouts, of course we must try our best to find it." The veteran said.

"Wait, you have to teach me how to use it first." Wuming drove the Falling Star Beast to stop the veteran.

"Put it in the heart." The veteran said, "Be careful, the golden needle is very thin, and it is easy to break when it encounters a collision."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Wuming put it away carefully, "I'll take you out of the swamp, you don't have any golden needles, don't let my lord find it, you'll die in the swamp first."

"Alright, thank you."

The veteran rode on the Falling Star Beast, watching from behind as the bug wriggled around.

"What is your real body?" the veteran asked.

"When we meet again in the future, you will always know." Wuming said, "My name is Wuming."

"O'Neill." The veteran said, "Who are you going to save with this golden needle? Why did the worms send you here?"

"I had a deal with Chongzi before. He gave me the magic I wanted, and I gave him the golden needle he wanted." Wuming twirled the golden needle and observed carefully, "But it's not used now."

"No need?" O'Neill was puzzled.

The falling star beast was crossing the swamp, surrounded by many bugs.

These corrupt relatives are very small, relying on instinct to prey on the prey in the swamp.

The nameless worm lifted its butt, and a circle of silvery white smoke emitted from the vicinity of the butt, swaying behind the Falling Star Beast.

When the bugs came into contact with the silver smoke, they struggled and screamed to death, and soon floated up on the swamp with white bellies.

Nameless laughed out loud: "Seeing him cast that magic, I suddenly remembered - I actually knew that magic, but I forgot it before."

Wuming shook his head: "Oh, oh, I'm getting old, and my memory is not very good."

O'Neill said: "You don't suffer from corruption, do you? I heard that corruption can erode the mind and make people lose their memory."

"Corruption disease..." Wuming smiled, "Almost."
