"Do you recognize that skeleton just now?" The masked man also sheathed his sword and turned to ask.
"Um……"
The chief witch crossed her arms, a rare look of hesitation and sadness on her face.
"That child...was someone who participated in the Saint Child Trial back then."
Chen Yin stopped and turned to look at her blankly.
The great witch still kept her eyes slightly lowered, and her slender eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
"Her name is Lingxiang."
"He was a child from the village next door who was sent here with me. However, he couldn't survive the poisonous miasma in the Yama Valley and died on the fourth day after he came here."
"In the first two days after she came in, I helped her avoid many poisonous insects. When she couldn't stand the poisonous miasma and fell into a coma due to fever, I took care of her for two days..."
But finally.
The girl died painfully in his arms.
Biluo will never forget how she looked at that time. Her face was completely bloodless, her lips were bitten into pulp, and black blood was flowing from her seven orifices.
When the poison takes effect, the sound is so miserable that even poisonous insects are scared away.
Chen Yin listened to her quietly.
He saw a flash of resentment in the eyes of the great witch.
At that moment, Chen Yin suddenly understood something.
"Almost all the children did not survive the first week. Those who survived the week generally had a certain resistance to the poisonous miasma."
"However, most of them eventually died tragically from poisonous insects or starvation."
"The only ones who can survive are me and that woman." The chief witch's emotions had gradually calmed down, and in the end she had returned to her calm and composed look.
Chen Yin frowned and was shocked: "In other words, these human-shaped skeletons are actually all the corpses of children who participated in the Holy Child Trial?"
"Not only that, there are also skeletons of adults."
"And such a quantity...I can't say for sure."
The masked man asked again: "Why did the bodies of these people appear in the secret realm?"
"I do not know."
The chief witch shook her head and said, "Let's find the mother Gu first. I'll perform the spell."
After saying this, she made hand gestures with her white fingers, and her white fingers flew up and down. Small black dots seemed to float up gently on the human-shaped skull fragments around her.
The chief witch stared for a moment, then turned her head and looked in one direction.
"here."
-
After getting rid of the entanglement of a group of human-shaped skeletons along the way, Chen Yin and the other two finally arrived at the location of the mother Gu.
It's a valley.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, even Chen Yin couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
The entire valley was densely packed with wriggling snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and a host of unnamed poisonous insects. They weaved and entangled among countless skeletons, with countless thin black legs crawling about.
The entire valley was pitch black, almost as if several layers of black clouds were covering the ground.
At first glance, people with trypophobia may be frightened to death.
"The mother insect is right here?" Chen Yin asked with a frown.
"That's right. All the sub-Gu are gathering here."
The chief witch looked down at the things in the valley and couldn't help but twitch her eyelids.
"Wow... such a big deal?"
"Colorful snakes with stripes and scales, centipedes with thousand legs and headless bodies, blue-tailed stinging scorpions... and many poisonous insects that are almost lost."
"The things in this valley below are likely to be able to poison a Taiqing immortal to death."
The masked man whispered, "Is there any way to dispel the poisonous insects?"
"Difficult. This number is unheard of even in Wuxuanku."
The Great Witch looked solemn and said, "Besides, the mother poison of those skeletons outside is also down there. Even if we drive away the poisonous insects, those skeletons will still not be able to get rid of them."
"So, we can only force our way in?"
Chen Yin sighed. In the end, he still had to do the dirty work himself.
Then, he picked up the Changming Sword and was about to go in.
"and many more!"
What surprised Chen Yin was that it was not the great witch who called him, but the masked man.
"Do you have a way to deal with those poisonous insects?" The masked man was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice.
Chen Yin smiled calmly.
"Are you afraid that I will snatch the Huanzou Lingzhi first?"
"…The competent ones take the place. I can't deal with these poisonous insects. If you can, then I will admit defeat sincerely."
"In that case, Brother, just stay up there and watch."
Chen Yin looked down the mountain with a relaxed expression, then jumped down lightly.
At the moment he jumped, the masked man subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop him.
But in the end, he just took it back silently.
After a moment, Chen Yin landed lightly.
As soon as he jumped down, countless poisonous insects began to swarm towards him, and began to crawl along his feet into his body and clothes.
But Chen Yin simply flicked his sleeves, and the poisonous insects suddenly dispersed again.
The poisonous insects that were as numerous as the tide of the sea had left a space for him to use. With every step Chen Yin took, the poisonous insects would move away.
"Amazing."
The great witch on the cliff looked surprised. "He used his spiritual power to protect his body, and he didn't hurt the poisonous insects, so as not to anger them and attack him. How finely does he control his spiritual power? How did he do it?"
The masked man at the side just watched quietly. The Great Miko seemed to hear him sighing with relief.
“He always surprises people.”
"Hmm? Did you say anything?"
"...No. You heard it wrong."
In the valley, Chen Yin walked slowly forward.
To be honest, although I am not that afraid of insects, I was at least a normal person before I traveled through time.
If a normal person sees the densely packed crawling of insects and snakes all around him, he would get goosebumps all over his body.
Out of sight, out of mind. Chen Yin simply strode forward and headed straight for the area in the center where the poisonous insects were most concentrated.
At this moment, his footsteps paused slightly.
He seemed to hear someone's voice.
(There are two more pictures, written slowly in the early morning.)
One hundred and ninety-eight, crystal skull
"Tsk."
Chen Yin turned his head and looked around.
...auditory hallucination?
How could there be people in a place like this?
But at that moment, Chen Yin truly felt that the feeling of blockage in his heart became more and more obvious.
This place really gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
There's definitely something around here.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yin raised his sword and slowly slashed forward.
The soft sword light slowly spread out to create a path in front, and the surrounding poisonous insects gradually became agitated. They seemed to be somewhat angered by Chen Yin's actions, and were staring at him, hesitating whether to attack him or not.
Chen Yin didn't care. His eyes were fixed on the open space in the middle of the valley.
Soon, he was finally able to vaguely see what those things surrounded by poisonous insects were.
It is a skeleton sitting cross-legged.
Unlike other skeletons, the bones of this skeleton are very clean, shiny, and sparkling like jade.
He remained in a cross-legged meditation position, feeling inexplicably holy, which was totally out of tune with the eerie and gloomy atmosphere around him.
In the middle of the skeleton, at the dantian position in the lower abdomen, there is a small golden poisonous insect.
...That's it. Chen Yin's eyes became slightly sharper.
Sure enough, the moment the golden poisonous insect appeared, all the poisonous insects around it rushed towards Chen Yin like crazy, risking their lives.
At the same time, the broken skull fragments on the ground gathered together, slowly stood up and moved towards Chen Yin.
"Oops!"
On the cliff, the great witch frowned, made a light gesture with her hands, and a dark green halo spread out from her fingertips, instantly heading straight for the poisonous insects.
Beside her, the masked man, without saying a word, charged into the valley with his sword in hand.
Chen Yin knew that the mother Gu had sensed the danger and had begun to summon the surrounding poisonous creatures and skeletons to protect herself. When he was about to attack, the masked man had already come to his side with a sword.
"Hey, what are you doing down here?"
Chen Yinren was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and said, "These poisonous insects are too fierce. You may not be able to withstand a bite from them."
But the masked man just turned his head slightly and said calmly:
"...noisy."
"I'm just afraid that you'll get the upper hand."
Chen Yin was almost so angry that he laughed. I was kind enough to care about you, but you didn't even appreciate it.
However, he still gently waved the Changming Sword and said softly: "In this case, you'd better be careful not to die."
"You too." the masked man said coldly.
The two men stood back to back, and the next moment they drew their swords at the same time.
Almost instantly.
The entire valley was shrouded in sword lights, one white and one red.
Chen Yin's sword was as light and ethereal as ever, easily isolating the poisonous insects that were besieging him. Any poisonous insect that came close would have its body precisely cut in half by the delicate sword light.
But the masked man next to him is different.
His sword skills were vigorous and fierce, like a surging flame, instantly sweeping away a group of black poisonous insects.
It was as if a strong flame exploded from the scorching sword, leaving a scorched earth wherever it went.
While attacking and killing the poisonous insects, Chen Yin still had time to steal a glance at the masked man's swordsmanship.
……really.
Chen Yin just took a quick glance and then looked away.
Fortunately, most of these poisonous insects are unconscious, relying on their poison to become more powerful, but in fact their cultivation is not as good as that of ordinary spiritual beasts.
This attack, which was like an instinctive attack by a wild beast, could be easily resolved by the two men's swordsmanship and the poison would not touch them.
The more troublesome ones are the human-shaped skeletons.
Most of these skeletons are completely unconscious and fearless of death. The most troublesome thing is that even if they are chopped into pieces, they can quickly reassemble themselves.
The deadly toxins in their bones always make people feel dangerous.
