One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

"Chen Duo..."

Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and Zhang Lingyu murmured the name, a chill running down their spines at the same time.

Each of them is no ordinary person, and their discerning eye is naturally beyond question.

Those strands of black lines that just flowed from the other person's mouth...

They are clearly hundreds or even thousands of 'Gu worms'!

Chen Jinkui, however, was mostly focused on the three people involved...

But after all, he was one of the Ten Elders.

He is one of the top masters in the world of supernatural beings today!

At his level, his body's instinctive perception of killing intent and danger far surpassed that of wild beasts...

Whether it's him, or Wang Ye and the other two.

Until Chen Jinkui was infected, no one discovered Chen Duo's existence...

This only proves one thing.

The girl in front of me had eyes as clear as a spring...

From the moment he made the move to the moment he asked, "Should we kill him?"

From beginning to end, her state of mind did not change in the slightest!

Without a doubt, this is an entity that completely disregards life!

"If Biyou Village is full of monsters of this caliber..." Wang Ye narrowed his eyes.

We have to reconsider the dangers of this trip...

"This is Miss Chen."

Zhuge Qing quickly composed himself, flashing his signature patriarch smile and revealing his perfect eight teeth:

"Wow, that's impressive! When did you start following us?"

Chen Duo tilted her head, her thin eyebrows furrowing slightly:

"Why are we following you?"

Such an unconventional answer left the seasoned scumbag speechless!

His prepared remarks were completely shut down by that one sentence...

At the crucial moment, it was still the straight-laced, expressionless Zhang Lingyu who spoke up:

"The girl kept saying she would take us to Biyou Village, and she clearly had a photo of the three of us, but when we met, she didn't recognize us..."

What else could this be but stalking?

Chen Duo shook her head, her tone flat and emotionless:

"Why did they need to recognize each other so early when there was still so much time before the plane landed?"

Zhuge Qing: "???"

Zhang Lingyu: "???"

Wang Ye: "???"

If anyone else had said that, all three of them would have felt that the other was making unreasonable arguments...

Yet, coming from her mouth, it gave people the absurd illusion that "what she said makes perfect sense!"

"Passengers, please be seated..."

Cockpit direction.

A flight attendant walked out, rubbing her heavy forehead, her steps unsteady.

"The plane may encounter strong turbulence at any time. For your safety, please do not stand in the middle of the aisle for an extended period."

"Hmm... I slept really soundly..."

As Chen Jinkui collapsed, one by one the passengers who had been sleeping slowly awoke.

Chen Duo stopped looking at them, turned around, and put her hood back on.

He quietly returned to his seat.

-----------------

Two hours later, outside the airport in your province.

Wang Ye dragged Chen Jinkui, who was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes, into the roadside green belt like a dead dog!

"He should be grateful."

Zhang Lingyu looked down at the once high and mighty head of the Shuzi Sect, her voice cold and clear:

"I'm glad my senior brother didn't come with us today."

Zhuge Qing stretched his slightly sore back and smiled meaningfully:

"Yeah... if Brother Zhou were here, Ten would most likely have to change his name to Nine."

"I wonder where Master Zhou is now..." Wang Ye sighed, then suddenly turned to look at Zhang Lingyu:

"Speaking of Master Lingyu, that feint attack you just used was brilliant! You're increasingly resembling your senior brother's unsportsmanlike conduct!"

"No." Zhang Lingyu shook her head, saying with absolute certainty:

"It's still a long way off... If my senior brother were here, Chen Jinkui wouldn't even have the courage to stand up and threaten us."

Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye were both speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true...

"Gentlemen, please hurry."

Not far away, Chen Duo's cold, urging voice could be heard.

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound.

She was standing next to a dilapidated taxi, her hand already resting on the car door:

"I'm in a hurry."

After saying that, she crawled inside.

……

An hour later, the three of them fully experienced the terrifying meaning of the phrase "I'm in a hurry"!

It had just rained, and the uneven dirt road was riddled with potholes and mud.

The taxi driver had already backed out and abandoned the four people halfway.

Next, they followed the girl named Chen Duo and ran wildly for nearly 20 kilometers!

"No...no, I can't do it!"

Zhuge Qing ran until he was questioning the meaning of life, his breathing making a sound like a broken bellows.

On the other side, Zhang Lingyu's face was as white as paper, but that didn't stop her from being stubborn:

"Is this all the genius of the Zhuge family is capable of?"

At first, the three of them, proud of being geniuses from prestigious and righteous families, secretly competed with each other, trying to see who was the better at running!

Thunder magic and esoteric arts, throw them all aside...

It's all about life force and cultivation, and the foundation of the sect!

But as time went on, the three of them began to breathe heavily and their footsteps grew heavier...

Now, they've been reduced to holding hands just to avoid collapsing in the mud...

"I said... Miss Chen... Miss Chen!"

Master Wang's tongue was practically sticking out. "Let's...let's catch our breath! Even immortals can't keep up with this kind of running!"

"We can't rest."

Chen Duo kept walking, the hem of her green dress fluttering in the wind.

The king did not understand.

He could tell that the girl was very, very tired.

Her breathing was no longer steady, and her forehead was covered in fine sweat... but her speed just didn't slow down at all!

It was as if something terrible would happen if they couldn't get back to the village immediately...

"You can... wait by the roadside."

She spoke without turning her head, gradually distancing herself from the three of them.

"Occasionally, donkey carts or farm vehicles will pass by here. You can pay them some money to help you get to Mayan Village."

I'm leaving now...

"Oh my god... no... why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Zhuge Qing sat down on the muddy ground without any regard for his image.

The other two also stopped.

Before this, none of them had ever imagined that one day they would actually lose to a girl in terms of physical strength...

Perhaps it's not a loss.

The other party was practically running for their lives!

The girl's figure gradually faded into the distance.

A gentle breeze carried back what seemed like the last half of her sentence:

"It's too late..."

-----------------

"Woof! Woof woof!"

As the huge stone tablet inscribed with the words "Xin Jie" came into view, a beige mongrel dog wagged its tail and ran happily from the village entrance.

Chen Duo finally stopped.

She was so exhausted that she was almost collapsing, her chest heaving violently.

Seeing the stray dog ​​pounce at his feet, he immediately bent down and vigorously rubbed the dog's head.

A rare, gentle smile appeared in those unchanging emerald eyes:

"Chen Junyan, you're here."

"Woof!"

"Chen Duo, you're finally back!"

In the distance, Zhong Xiaolong, who was guarding the village entrance, stood up:

"The cult leader instructed me to immediately inform him upon seeing you. I'll set off right now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Duo tossed it out.

A yellow metal sphere arced through the air and landed precisely in Zhong Xiaolong's arms.

"Please give this to the cult leader for me."

Chen Duo stood up, her voice returning to its usual calm, "I'm going back now."

"Woof woof!"

She walked along the village path, heading straight for the detached house that Ma Xianhong had specially built for her.

The stray dog ​​Chen Junyan wagged its tail behind him, staying close by.

Reaching the door, she crouched down and reached out to stop the dog's head from trying to squeeze in.

Chen Duo's expression was unusually serious:

"No, Chen Junyan, wait for me outside!"

The dog whimpered and nudged her hand with its head, clearly not wanting to leave.

"Can't..."

Chen Duo's tone became more serious: "They will...die."

She stood up, her gaze unconsciously sweeping across the area in front of her.

Under the willow tree not far away stood a stranger.

He looked tall and thin, dressed in black casual clothes, and seemed to be looking at me.

However, Chen Duo never takes the initiative to greet others...

She looked away and closed the door.

Then, he pulled open a heavy, round metal cover on the floor and climbed down the vertical ladder into the dark underground.

……

Swish swish swish—

basement.

The three-meter square enclosed space was filled with steam.

Chen Duo stood under the shower and reached out to take off the green bodysuit she never took off.

As the clothes were peeled off... a body was revealed that was enough to make even the most mentally strong person's sanity plummet!

From the calves up to the chest, there is almost no intact skin to be seen.

There was only large areas of semi-rotten flesh and blood.

Especially the lower abdomen!

If someone were close enough, they could even see those restless little black insects crawling between Chen Duo's skin and internal organs...

It's hard to imagine how such an organ can keep the person who has it "alive".

Warm water was splashed on the body, washing away a large amount of black, viscous poisonous blood.

These most poisonous substances in the world flowed down the grille beneath her feet into a specially made dark metal pipe.

They will eventually flow into a sealed ritual implement box.

Then Ma Xianhong personally carried out the destruction and disposal.

"The internal organs are even more thoroughly decomposed..."

Chen Duo murmured to herself, her tone neither happy nor sad.

This is the price she has to pay in order to be able to walk in the sunlight like a normal person.

As a 'genius,' she had long ago learned how to control this extremely dangerous 'Gu body'...

It simply involves forcibly suppressing all the Gu worms that are constantly growing within the body...

They simply lie dormant within their own internal organs.

As for the 'pain' and 'itch' that accompanied her at all times, and the constant biting and parasitism of countless poisonous insects, she had long been used to it.

I lowered my head and stared quietly at my belly, which was full of holes.

"Probably... another one to two months."

In Chen Duo's mind, that fierce and menacing face came back to her.

He swears constantly, and when he opens his mouth, he reveals two comical gold teeth.

In my memory, the long, piercing scar on the other person's face looked as ferocious as the most vicious centipede in the village.

Yet she has a heart softer than most people.

"Uncle Liao, they say that after people die, they all go to the same place..."

Maybe... in case...

After death, the body will no longer have worms?

After "detoxification".

Chen Duo reached out and turned off the shower, then squatted down.

"This time, you don't need to see me off..."

"I'll be there to keep you company soon."
