hen the heavenly fire falls, we should be able to get out!"This is my second time riding on Xiao Tongzi's big gourd. His driving skills... are not steady at all, which makes me very nervous. After all...The entire building was plunged into darkness. Bai Wu Chang said that all the lights had been blown out, and there was no possibility of restoring them in a short time. Furthermore, the entire building had been sealed off by Yin Shai with an impenetrable barrier, not even a fly could get out.
"How do we get out There must be other people alive in this building, right" I asked.
Bai Wu Chang nodded and said: "There are other living people, temporarily all in a coma, they won't know what happened... Because the situation is rather dangerous, His Majesty had to do this."
How dangerous was it What happened down there Did Jiang Qiyun chase after that ghostly figure, and did he catch up to it
Aliang sealed the half-severed, still writhing mother centipede in a bamboo tube with a talisman. He said to the guest, "Sir, this thing resembles an arthropod. Even if it's severed into several pieces, it can still move. We need to find the other half quickly. Look at its belly; you can tell it's a mother centipede. It's swollen like it's been waterlogged. It must have given birth to countless offspring!"
Well, this speed really gives me goosebumps.
Mr. Zhao was on the rooftop, not knocked unconscious. I hit him on the head, and he seemed a bit disoriented at the time. I suspect I might have given him a concussion. He had already been slammed hard in the head by Ji Dou, and then I added insult to injury by hitting him with my magic staff.
"Don't... Don't leave... I want to kill..." He mumbled these words incoherently.
My brother's eyes rolled around, and he squatted down in front of Boss Zhao and said: "If it weren't for that woman telling us you were a snake charmer, we wouldn't have known. You hid it so well..."
"A woman," Zhao Boss's eyes showed disbelief.
"Yes, the one wearing the red skirt and with a voluptuous figure. She was so flamboyant that I thought she was your mistress... But then she said you were a Gu master, and that we should distract you so she could take your natal Gu."
"No, impossible! It's impossible!" Boss Zhao coughed up blood and growled: "What does she want with my natal gu We—"
"You used to be part of an organization, didn't you She was afraid you'd leak information about the organization, so she wanted to kill you. That's understandable, right! But she was afraid of your silkworm gu, so she said you were going to harm us and got us to cooperate with her... Hehe, are you being played" My brother's acting skills weren't ordinary, he didn't even need a script for improvisations.
Boss Zhao's eyes darted nervously, he was probably also afraid of being silenced by the organization, my brother's words had hit a nerve.
"What's this about a golden silkworm gu How could we amateurs possibly solve that Don't you even think about who is most likely to kill your golden silkworm!"
“Having someone who raises venomous insects around us is like having a time bomb. We’re scared too! All she has to do is get us to create a smokescreen to draw your attention, the real attacker isn’t us!”
I looked around at the people nearby. They all looked at my brother's lies with disdain. Ah Liang, however, had his eyes wide open, his face full of admiration. Bai Wu Chang covered his mouth with his long sleeves and said with a chuckle, "What an interesting person..."
That's interesting, sweat... Our enemies definitely wouldn't find my brother funny.
Boss Zhao was clearly being bamboozled. His bulging eyes gradually calmed down, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "…Really"
"Nonsense! We stay far away from poisons like that. There's no way we'd touch your golden silkworm gu! It must have been someone knowledgeable who did this! Besides, what would we want your silkworms for To make insect specimens!" My brother was very confident.
My "knowledgeable" friend, A Liang, blushed and fidgeted with his nose without saying a word.
Boss Zhao's eyes gradually turned red, and he muttered in a low voice: "I knew this woman wasn't a good person... She suddenly appeared in front of me and wanted me to attack you! I refused her and she threatened me! I escaped the organization for so many years, but I was still found! The organization won't let me go!"
My brother raised an eyebrow: "The road is chosen by oneself. Since you've gotten involved in these things, don't dream of staying out of it... I can point you down a clear path. How about that"
He let out a barely perceptible smirk: "She's unrighteous, you're unjust, karma will come around... hehehe..."
I don't know what my brother whispered to Boss Zhao, but whatever it was, it seems to have caused some infighting within that organization. Hopefully, they'll leave us alone now.
The golden silkworm is not on us, and we have destroyed the mother gu. After that, that organization will no longer bother us.
As we ran down, my brother whispered, "It wouldn't be bad to have Boss Zhao as our eyes and ears. It's better for us to fight amongst ourselves than for him to see us as enemies. Who has the patience to deal with a bunch of people who raise insects"
"Master Mu, are you looking down on us for raising insects" A-Liang pouted.
"No, no, you guys are our ancestors!" My brother chimed in sarcastically.
There are so many little bugs, it would give someone with trypophobia a fright. Ah Liang doesn't know what's on him, wherever he goes, the bugs all scatter away.
"Come here, Ah Liang. You need to take the pest control medicine. Go this way, the elevator is out of order." My brother pointed towards the safety exit.
I held a small lotus flower in my hand, its light enough for us to see the steps of the staircase.
Tiny bugs covered the walls and ceiling like cells dividing.
The deeper we went, the more crowded it became. We returned to the twelfth floor, and the safety passage door of the twelfth floor had been smashed. As we looked inside, there was a faint glow, and Jiang Qiyun was here.
"Qi Yun..." I whispered.
Jiang Qiyun did not turn back, but instead focused intently on the front.
We peered into the corridor from the corner of the wall, and there, a humanoid monster had seized Xiaonie.
"Little Nie!" I was startled. What's happening Little Nie is going to be caught
That humanoid monster turned out to be that skinny man who had been secretly filming us and threatening to blackmail us.
His eyes were now white, he spat out a piece of black from his mouth, his arms turned black and grew many hard…hard…hairs
Xiao Nie impatiently shook his head, looking as if he didn't dare to bite or move, very embarrassed.
"What's going on! The upper half of the Gu Mother is on this man!" I turned to ask Ah Liang.
Aling nodded. "It seems so! That brood mother is an arthropod. Look at this man's hand, it has changed already. He used a hook to grab Xiaonie's flesh, and Xiaonie doesn't dare to bite back! This man's body has been hollowed out to make a nest! One bite and it's all poison!"
"Heaven...what do we do" I asked anxiously, "What about Little Slave And the seventh master, that little fox spirit ghost, wasn't he taken by your Yin Marshal!"
Bai Wu Chang laughed and said, "Hee hee, we dare not accept the pet raised by the little empress. That little fox spirit is still carrying out orders."
As he was speaking, the creature holding Little Nu suddenly moved.
>ou!"My goodness...I twisted my fingers nervously, the closer I got to home, the more anxious I became. My eldest brother was a formidable person. If he knew I had been bullied and even had poison worm...
