Chapter 936 Undercurrent
"Girlo, are you sure you are here?"
In the dark jungle, two figures, a man and a woman, were moving forward cautiously.
The man on the left is dressed in animal skin, revealing bronze skin and half of his angular arms. His face is covered with thick unknown paint, and his dark eyes are alert, always looking around and alert to the surroundings.
The girl on the right is more gorgeously dressed. She wears a white velvet hat with light golden tassels hanging from both sides. There is also a diamond-shaped sequin between her eyebrows. She also has several layers of slightly bitter paint on her cheeks.
So much so that her original appearance was covered up. However, her figure was very petite, even malnourished. When a man and a woman walked together, they looked like a beauty and the beast.
Hearing the girl's question, the man Gillo couldn't help but swallowed nervously, and whispered back in the local dialect of Bai Gu Star: "Po Sa, this is where the ghost wizard is. He saved the clan leader's life. He didn't
He will lie to us."
"But we've been searching for half a month. I'm afraid if we continue like this, people from the Red Wolf tribe will..." the girl Po Sa said a little anxiously.
"Shh!" Gillo suddenly raised his eyebrows and covered her mouth.
"Quack quack——"
The jungle suddenly became darker, and several strange purple-black birds made piercing screams, fluttering their wings and roared toward the two of them.
"Damn it, how can there be a cursed bird!" Gillo's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He quickly took off his longbow and shot a few arrows like meteors, hitting the target accurately.
"Gah!"
The cursed birds were like indestructible bodies. Although they were hit by arrows, they did not shed a drop of blood. They looked coldly at the humans in front of them and disappeared into the depths of the jungle again.
"The cursed bird will only appear near the dead..." Po Sa's voice was trembling.
Gillo took a deep breath and stepped forward a few steps faster. When the poisonous insects in the grass smelled the paint on his body, they fled away.
"We're late." Gillo's voice was a little hollow, as if his soul had been drained away.
Ten meters in front of him lay a corpse in a miserable state of death. White worms were drilling in and out of the holes in his body, greedily sucking up the remaining flesh and blood. The right hand of the corpse was broken at the wrist, but he was already
There is no more blood to drain.
"No, has the Ten Thousand Gu Pearl been taken away? It must have been done by the Red Wolf Tribe. It's all over now..." Po Sa was also dumbfounded and squatted down helplessly.
Gillo was just silent. In fact, he had not recovered from this catastrophic blow.
"What should we do? What should we do..." Po Sa almost burst into tears. She held onto Gillo's hand tightly, hoping to get any glimmer of hope from him.
"We..." Gillo barely managed to squeeze out two words, but found that his voice was so dry and hoarse that it was no better than the screams of those cursed birds.
"You can go down and accompany him soon." A mysterious voice came faintly.
The two of them suddenly looked back and saw a strange figure suddenly appearing like a ghost deep in the jungle.
This man wore a strange purple-black robe and held a skull scepter. His voice was erratic, like a lonely ghost haunting the night. Even his face was blurry. It seemed that when the light refracted near his face,
It will be swallowed up completely.
"Ghost, ghost wizard... This is impossible, why..." Po Sa was so shocked that she even forgot to run away.
Gillo's reaction was a step faster. His eyes widened in shock, and then he turned around and ran away without saying a word. His speed was almost as fast as he could reach in his life.
"No matter how fast you run, what's the use..." The ghost wizard murmured faintly.
Without seeing him make any move, Gillo fell to the ground with a thud. He screamed miserably and dug at his own throat with both hands, even till his flesh and blood were blurred.
"Hiss——"
Gillo opened his mouth wide and retched desperately, but what he made was a snake-like hissing.
After he vomited out his internal organs piece by piece, a black flesh worm as long as a finger snaked out from his throat, then lay on the center of his eyebrows and sucked hard, and Gillo's body suddenly shrank by half.
Circle, leaving only a thin layer of skin and skeleton.
"Ah, my baby, come back and rest quickly." The ghost wizard's voice was so gentle that it made people shiver all over.
The black flesh insect raised its head, and in a flash, it got into the sleeve of the ghost wizard.
"Ghost wizard, don't kill me, I'm still useful to you..." Po Sa witnessed the death of her companions and was so frightened that she almost collapsed in despair.
The ghost wizard placed the skull scepter on her head, and Po Sa trembled on the ground, not daring to resist at all.
"But killing you will make the Wan Gu Pearl more pure and perfect." The ghost wizard said softly.
"I, I am the sacrifice appointed by the emperor. If I die, King Gu..." Po Sa's voice was filled with tears, and she was obviously frightened to the extreme.
"Are you using the Gu King to suppress me?" The ghost wizard chuckled and was about to say something when his tone suddenly changed: "Ah, someone is here. It's really disappointing. Then you should have a good sleep."
The skull scepter in his hand gently lifted Po Sa's chin. The girl's face was full of panic. After a brief moment of looking at each other, her eyes gradually became dim and dull, and she soon fell to the ground.
Lost consciousness.
At the same time, the ghost wizard also drifted away without leaving any trace.
"What the hell is this place? I said, why don't we fly to high altitude to see how far it is from Cangyeling?" A complaining voice came from behind the bushes.
"We're almost there after passing through this Yinwu Forest." Yu Ling said calmly.
"It's easy to say, I guess it will take about half a day to wear it..." Zhou Aobai said and pushed away the jungle, then let out a strange cry and took a few steps back.
"What did you see?" Yu Ling frowned.
"Damn it, this man died in such a strange way, I have to do some research." Zhou Aobai coughed twice, and his face inevitably felt a little feverish, because he was really frightened when he saw Gillo's body at first sight.
Yu Ling pushed aside the bushes and walked over, and found a man in animal skin lying on the ground. His eyes were wide open, his face was black and blue, his tongue was sticking out, his throat was bloody, and there was disgusting mucus and several pieces of internal organs around him.
"Everyone, be mentally prepared." Yu Ling warned, and carefully scanned it with his soul power to confirm that this person was not poisoned to death. Then there was only one possibility: killed by Gu insects.
Soon his eyes moved further forward, because he vaguely felt that there was a faint breath of life there.
"Huh? There is still a living person?" Luo Shuanghuan also said in surprise.
Yu Ling slowly stepped forward and saw a girl lying unconscious on the ground. He felt that things were more and more strange. He quickly looked around, his soul power detecting inch by inch, and no trace of anyone was found, but for some reason, a wave of
But the feeling of uneasiness always lingered in his heart, as if there was a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness staring at him silently.
"Do you want to save her?" Luo Shuanghuan asked.
Yu Ling turned his attention back to the girl. After confirming that she had just fainted and not been poisoned, she nodded and said, "Take her with you."
"What to do with that corpse? Leave it alone? Oh no, there's another one here! Oh my God, this way of death is really a weird one." Zhou Aobai clicked his tongue.
Yu Ling looked at these two strange corpses and said in deep thought: "Forget it, just to be cautious, it's better not to touch them. Let's go."
"Uh, why don't we cremate them and bury them?" Fang Zijin followed up and asked.
"Although there is a big difference between poison and poison, are you sure that burning their corpses, especially those white worms, will not produce any toxic gas?" Yu Ling asked.
"Hey, don't say it's so perceptive, let's go, let's go." Fang Zijin had goosebumps all over his body.
At Yu Ling's signal, Zhou Aobai reluctantly carried Po Sa on his back, but Yu Ling's reason made him unable to refute. Who told him that after taking the Shen Feather Flower, he could basically resist 99% of the toxins?
, who else could do this hard work if not him?
After everyone gradually disappeared, a dark shadow appeared faintly.
"Foreigners... I haven't seen them for a long time. I hope you can bring me a different surprise." The ghost wizard looked at the direction where everyone disappeared, with a strange smile on his lips.
