Qingyunxian

Chapter 40: Theft and Murder
Deng Yuan waved his hand and came closer: "Brother Tianhe, I haven't had the wine from your Pig Village for a long time. Remember to include it in your cargo next time you go out to trade!"

Liu Tianhe stroked his beard faster and faster, and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Okay, okay!"

After Liu Xun returned to the house, everyone else went out for a stroll, so it was more convenient for him to do things alone.

His eyes swept across the corner of the wooden building and he immediately walked over.

The aura of several powerful strange beasts in the Wilderness Scripture shook, and the insects in the corner fainted directly.

Liu Xun picked up the bug and looked at it in the palm of his hand.

This is a centipede covered in fuzz and has many legs.

The Big Mouth pattern in the Wild Scripture lit up slightly, and a drop of Big Mouth's blood fell into the centipede's body, gradually transforming the insect's body.

The transformation of essence and blood was extremely rapid. The centipede woke up soon. A jade-colored bulge gradually appeared in the gap of its shell under its chin. If it continued to grow, it would become a large pearl.

It's a pity that Liu Xun didn't want the big pearl, but to create a small helper.

He got a clue from the maggot swarm he encountered last night. When dealing with things in Qingdeng Village, small creatures would be extremely convenient.

However, it is impossible for Liu Xun to create as many strange beasts as the maggot swarm. Firstly, the amount of blood and essence in the Wilderness Sutra does not allow it, and secondly, it is too conspicuous and may easily attract the attack of Tianshang Yuncheng.

Centipede is just the first step.

After being transformed by the essence and blood of the centipede, the centipede's claws, fangs and limbs became extremely sharp.

Driven by Liu Xun, the centipede found a dark and shadowed corner and drilled into the cracks in the bricks.

Digging down along the gap, after a while, the centipede crawled out again, but it was holding a twisting yellow and black earthworm in its mouth.

Liu Xun ejected a trace of the earthworm's blood that he had just obtained and sank it into the earthworm's body.

The gluttonous earthworm is originally a large-sized earthworm. It is perfect to modify it based on the earthworm.

The slime-covered earthworms changed visibly.

Green scales the size of sesame seeds emerged, covering the original yellow and black appearance.

There are several circles of fine teeth on the ring-shaped mouthparts, making it look particularly ferocious.

The yellow and black earthworm is now like a palm-sized green bug, lying quietly in the palm of Liu Xun's hand.

The centipedes brought back some earthworms one after another, in various varieties, including beige, black, and yellow-black, but in the end they all became miniature versions of the green gluttonous earthworms without exception.

They only have the appearance of gluttonous earthworms, but do not have the majestic momentum and strength of disaster beasts.

Only by constantly feeding and nurturing can you possess the power of a real gluttonous earthworm.

Liu Xun seemed to have scattered a handful of green seeds, then stood up with his hands aside after throwing them away, raised his foot to crush the centipede to death, and kicked the soil that was digging out from the cracks in the stone bricks.

"Hey, I bought some things and took them back to my wife. This business trip was not going well, so I'm afraid the annual income will be reduced again."

"Who says it's not true? My whole family is waiting for me to support them, alas."

The survivors of the caravan who had gone out were carrying the specialties of Qingdeng Village that they had bought. When they saw Liu Xun standing there in a daze, they greeted him.

Liu Xun answered all of them with a smile, his expression calm.

Night fell again, and this was the second night in Qingdeng Village.

Liu Xun, lying on the bed, opened his eyes. The wild jing in his consciousness floated and began to respond to the handful of earthworms he had thrown out.

On the stone streets of Qingdeng Village, green earthworms' mouthparts poked out from the cracks.

From a distance, it looks like green weeds growing out of the trees, but it looks a little weird.

The transformation of the earthworm's essence and blood has strengthened the earthworm's defense and ability to digest soil.

The disaster beast, the gluttonous earthworm, is born underground. When it comes out, it will devour the world. If its essence and blood did not even have the ability to devour the soil, Liu Xun would not need to cultivate the Desolate Sutra anymore.

The green earthworm stuck its head out to sense the direction.

Earthworms living underground are very sensitive to humidity, and the humidity in the night wind varies in different places.

The wind weasels in Qingdeng Village are kept in a place where forest winds often blow. The moisture from the mountains and forests will be blown over there. Over time, the place should become a place with relatively high humidity.

The green earthworm sensed for a moment, drilled back into the ground, and continued to move forward.

They would come out from time to time to sense the humidity, but no one in Qingdeng Village could find any traces of these earthworms. It took about two hours, and the scattered earthworms found many places with high humidity.

Finally, a green earthworm found the captive wind weasel in the woods in the northwest corner of the village.

The weasel had yellow and white fur, a long tail, and a docile appearance. It was currently resting in a pile of straw.

After the green earthworms discovered the wind weasel's trail, the rest of the green earthworms also quickly came over and swallowed the soil in front of their bodies. Their speed was much faster than that of ordinary creatures living underground, completely inheriting the characteristics of gluttonous earthworms.

The green earthworms crawled out of the ground and gradually approached the wind weasels.

The resting wind weasel sensed a hint of danger and opened its eyes, only to see a small green creature.

Seeing the food coming to its door, the omnivorous wind weasel happily stretched out its claws, trying to grab the earthworm and put it into its mouth.

With one claw, the green earthworm was not cut off, but a gap was left on the wind weasel's claw.

The wind weasel was angry and stuck out its tongue to roll towards the green earthworm.

The moment Qingqiu and the other wind weasels opened their mouths, a bow bullet pierced into their mouths.

The food was automatically delivered to the mouth, but it was not as simple as the wind weasel thought.

The green earthworm drilled into the weasel's esophagus and bit through the flesh before it could slide into the stomach. It felt the direction of the blood flow and went back to the heart. Its mouthparts covered with broken teeth swallowed a lot of flesh along the way.

The wind weasel squeaked in pain, and its whole body rolled over and over in the nest.

The movement of the wind weasel alarmed the celestial being who was in charge of guarding the place.

When he first heard the unusual movement, he was horrified.

This is a wind weasel that the village has spent decades breeding. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome!
A white mist arrived before him. It was Bai Zun, the celestial immortal of the Deng family.

Bai Zun transformed into a human form and used his nose to sniff out any abnormalities in the enclosure.

The celestial being then ran down from the attic and was stunned by the scene on the floor.

All those full-age wind weasels are dead!
And the cause of death is very strange!

Bai Zun's magical powers told him that another kind of life had appeared here.

The faint earthy smell alerted the celestial being: "It's underground!"

He waved his hand, and the birds resting in the forest cried loudly, informing the rest of the people in the village.

Hearing the cries of the covered birds, Qingdeng Village gradually became noisy.

"Deng Dazhou, what's going on?" Several powerful people from the Deng family in Qingdeng Village rushed over.

Deng Dazhou, who was in charge of guarding the wind weasel, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The wind weasel was killed by something!"

The village chiefs hurriedly asked, "How many people died?"

Deng Dazhou snorted angrily: "There are only a few cubs left!"

"Now is not the time to discuss this. We need to find that evil creature, otherwise there will be endless hidden dangers!"

Until now, Deng Dazhou still believed that it was done by some ferocious creature from the wilderness.

"My Bai Zun magical power is unable to find the trace of the evil creature, so I need to trouble Elder Deng Yuan for help!" Deng Dazhou said with a frown.

"What about Elder Deng Yuan?"

"Why don't you invite him over?"

Everyone was talking about it, but Deng Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Someone hesitated and said, "Elder Deng Yuan has been chatting with old friends these days and has drunk a lot of wine."

"absurd!"

"Allowing those outsiders to come in was already an exception. He doesn't care about the affairs of the village and only wants to talk. It's ridiculous!"

"After this matter is settled, we will report to the ancestors in Yuncheng and remove him from his position as elder."

Several people spoke angrily, venting their dissatisfaction with Deng Yuan.
