Xue Liang's figure was knocked backwards by a strong impact.
The spirit insect in the cage raised its head, and a faint green light appeared in its eyes.
It bared its teeth and sprayed out streams of cold air from its mouth, and a thin layer of ice condensed on the ground around it.
"Kacha——"
One of the railings was broken, and the spirit insect slowly crawled out of the cage.
Xue Liang's whole body was stiff, as if he was frozen. He wanted to shout loudly, but no sound came out.
He watched with some horror as the spirit insect crawled towards Zhou Shu.
Judging from the appearance of the spirit insect, he actually wants to attack Zhou Shu!
At this moment, Zhou Shu was turning his back to the spirit insect, concentrating on casting the magic weapon, completely unaware of what was happening.
Xue Liang felt anxious and struggled hard, but the cold air emitted by the spirit insect seemed to freeze the spiritual energy in his body, and his whole body was disobedient.
It's true that the attack power of spiritual insects is far inferior to the defense power, but it also depends on who you compare with.
Facing an absolutely powerful person, the attack power of this spirit insect is of course nothing, but Xue Liang is just a housekeeper, his cultivation level is not high, and his combat power is not outstanding.
An attack power that is nothing to a strong person is fatal to Xue Liang.
He is not dying now, so he has a good foundation.
"Help - help!"
Seeing that the spirit insect was less than a foot away from Zhou Shu, Xue Liang finally burst out with his potential and let out a loud cry.
This is the Wu Mansion, and there are guards in the mansion. The only thing Xue Liang prays for now is that the guards in the mansion can hear the movement and come in time.
But he forgot that Zhou Shu had sent Zhan and others out before. Although Zhou Shu, a group of people at the top of the city, had determined that the spirit insects outside the city were coming for this captured spirit insect, but after returning, he
He immediately started forging soldiers, but he forgot to call Zhan and others back.
Zhan and others are not here, which means there are no trustworthy guards in the backyard, and the guards at the house are all on duty outside.
Xue Liang was seriously injured by the spirit insect attack, and his voice was obviously not loud enough to reach the outside.
Xue Liang's voice did not attract the guards, but it aroused the reaction of the spirit insect.
The spirit insect stopped and turned to look at Xue Liang, baring its teeth and showing a threatening tone.
Xue Liang was stunned, never expecting that an insect could make such a human expression.
"Asshole, come at me if you can!"
Xue Liang couldn't care less. He shouted with all his strength. He couldn't alert the guards. He just wanted to alert Zhou Shu now.
He couldn't move his whole body, and the only thing he could do was to make as loud a sound as possible.
"Come on, you ugly bug!"
Xue Liang cursed loudly, and he didn't care whether the spirit insect could understand him or not. As long as he could remember the dirty words, he would blurt them out endlessly.
There was a hint of anger in the eyes of that spirit insect.
It turned around, pointed at Xue Liang, opened its mouth, and blew out a ball of cold air again.
"Kachacha——"
Wherever that mass of cold air passed, even the air seemed to be frozen, making bursts of sounds.
Seeing that the cold air is about to fall on Xue Liang, Xue Liang is afraid that he will also be frozen into ice.
Xue Liang's eyes were full of despair. He never expected that he would die in the hands of a bug. He had not yet become a weapon maker.
"My lord!"
Xue Liang looked at the cold air getting closer and closer, and used his last strength to make the loudest noise.
"Bang——"
Xue Liang has closed his eyes to welcome death.
There was a muffled sound in his ears, but the ice he imagined did not arrive.
After several breaths, he opened his eyes.
Then he saw a thick-backed sword floating quietly in front of him.
The blade of the knife had a faint layer of white frost, as if it had just been taken out of an extremely cold place.
But there is light flowing on the blade. Every time it circulates, the white frost is reduced by one layer. The sharp cold air seems to be emanating from the blade, which is even better than the cold air sprayed by the spirit insect.
One chip.
"That's right, spirit worm!"
Xue Liang was shocked. He no longer cared about looking at the long knife, but cast his gaze forward.
Then his expression froze on his face.
I saw that the spirit insect was being stepped on by a person. It twisted its body angrily, but could not break free from the foot on its back.
The spiritual insect that had left itself helpless has really turned into a pitiful insect at this moment.
The person who stepped on the spiritual worm was not Zhou Shu, who was he?
"It seems different from the one in the legend."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "Didn't it mean that the spirit insect would choose to commit suicide after knowing that there is no hope of escape? Why don't you understand yourself? Is it possible that you think you still have hope of escape?"
Zhou Shu stepped on the spirit insect's back with one foot. The spirit insect twisted with great force, but in terms of strength, Zhou Shu was stronger than him.
Zhou Shu is a genuine Taoist realm, and he has practiced eight or nine mysterious skills, and his physical strength far exceeds those of the same level.
This spirit insect was only as powerful as the Youdao realm. Facing Zhou Shu, it had no chance of struggling.
"Sir, it's great that you're okay."
Xue Liang said with trembling lips, his strength is too weak, naturally he can't see anything.
In his heart, Zhou Shu is God. Even if Zhou Shu could subdue a spiritual insect, he didn't think too much about it.
"Xue Liang, thank you this time. Otherwise, I might really be attacked by it."
Zhou Shu looked at Xue Liang, smiled and said.
Of course he wouldn't really be attacked by a spirit insect. Who is he? Although he has been concentrating on forging weapons, he would not be successfully attacked by a spirit insect whose strength is far inferior to him.
If that were the case, all his years would have been in vain.
However, Xue Liang's performance allowed Zhou Shu to see his loyalty, although this loyalty was towards Wu Zongquan.
"I will recommend you to Jin Kui later to learn the art of forging weapons. He should give me some face."
Zhou Shu casually said that he had no intention of recruiting a disciple, but seeing how loyal Xue Liang was, Zhou Shu decided to give him a chance.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Xue Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. He was the steward of the Wu Mansion, and naturally he already knew the identity of the disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion, Zhou Shu. He never expected that he could be related to the master of the Tiangong Pavilion, but Jin Kui, then
He is also the deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion. If he can learn from Jin Kui, that would be his dream.
Unexpectedly, happiness would come so suddenly. Xue Liang felt dizzy for a moment.
Zhou Shu raised his hand and made a move, and the thick-backed long sword suspended in front of Xue Liang fell into his hand.
He gestured at the spirit insect at his feet, as if he wanted to chop it down.
"You seem to be different from the spiritual insects I heard about. I don't know if I can chop off your head with a knife."
Zhou Shu looked down at the spirit insect and muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the knife in his hand fell, suddenly the face of the spiritual insect showed a human expression again.
It seemed a little panicked, and there was a buzz of insects in its mouth.
Zhou Shu made a move and looked at the expression of the spirit insect curiously.
"Can you understand me?"
Zhou Shu opened his mouth tentatively.
The spirit insect made a sharp cry, and then nodded!
This suddenly made Zhou Shu interested. Originally, he was going to try the sword with this spiritual insect, but he didn't expect that it could actually understand human speech.
Zhou Shu had tried it before on the top of the city, but the spirit insects outside the city couldn't understand his threat at all.
Is this why this spiritual insect is special?
Those spiritual insects outside the city are willing to attack the city in advance because of it. Is it because it can understand human speech?
Doesn't it mean that spirit insects have low IQs and only have instincts and no consciousness?
What's going on?
Zhou Shu had never heard of such spiritual insects from Ge Changlong, Jin Kui and others.
"Interesting."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself. He looked at the spirit insect and said, "Do you want to die?"
The spirit insect shook its head, its chirping sound filled with fear.
Its reaction made Zhou Shu more certain that it could understand human speech.
"Can you really understand?"
Zhou Shudao.
There was a very human helplessness flashing in the spirit insect's eyes. Isn't this difficult to understand?
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and then said, "Xue Liang, if you can still move, go and call back my guards."
Xue Liang responded, rolling and crawling towards the outside.
Zhou Shu raised his right foot.
"If you don't want to die, just stay with me."
Zhou Shu said, "If you want to escape, feel free to do so, as long as you are sure you can escape from my grasp."
While speaking, the long knife in Zhou Shu's hand snapped downwards, hitting the tail of the spirit worm.
A deep wound suddenly appeared on the tail of the spirit worm, and its hard spirit piece failed to block the knife in Zhou Shu's hand.
The spirit insect let out a scream and trembled all over. It looked at the knife in Zhou Shu's hand with some horror, and curled up into a ball.
Don't run away, don't run away, don't dare to run away.
The eyes of the spirit insect convey this meaning very humanely.
The spirituality of this spirit insect is really extraordinary.
Zhou Shu was amazed.
Looking at the blood flowing out of the wound on the spirit worm's tail, Zhou Shu's face showed a look of contemplation.
Zhuang Zhou's dreaming butterfly mind method has an effect on all living creatures. Do you want to enter the dream of a spiritual insect and find out its details?
After just a moment of hesitation, Zhou Shu shook his head and rejected his idea.
Forget it, dreaming of spiritual insects is definitely not a pleasant experience.
Zhou Shu doesn’t want to seek abuse himself.
Since this spiritual insect understands human nature, you can interrogate it carefully and you can still learn what you want to know.
The spirit insect curled up back into the cage without any intention of escaping.
It was frightened. The knife was so sharp that its own scales could not block the blade at all.
If he really ran away, wouldn't his head be gone if he stabbed him down?
As long as I don't die, I will be able to escape sooner or later. When the time comes, it will be these people's turn to be unlucky.
The spirit insect thought silently in his heart.
Not long after, Zhan, Mu Zhixing and others all came back.
Everyone was startled when they saw the glaring spirit insect in the cage.
Mu Zhixing even subconsciously took out the bell from his arms.
"Stop."
Zhou Shu quickly stopped Mu Zhixing from shaking the bell, "Don't panic, it is different from ordinary spiritual insects and will not seek death."
Everyone also realized at this time that the spirit insect was clearly awake, but it had not yet killed itself. This was different from what they had heard before.
"Master Wu, what's going on?"
Mu Zhixing asked.
When outsiders were present, he called Zhou Shu by his pseudonym.
"You don't know?"
Zhou Shu glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "This spirit insect is very interesting. It can understand human speech and has a strong will to survive."
"Can you understand human speech?"
Mu Zhixing was stunned for a moment. He didn't know much about spiritual insects, and he didn't know anything about this spiritual insect.
This is not something he captured alive at all.
Zhan and others also had expressions of surprise on their faces.
They had also inquired about some spiritual insects before, but what they learned was that the spiritual insects had low intelligence and were unable to communicate with people at all.
"Sir, is this a special case, or does it mean that there are individuals with spiritual intelligence among spiritual insects?"
Zhan said with a solemn expression.
Spirit worms without intelligence and spirit worms that can understand human speech are not the same concept.
If spiritual insects have intelligence, then the terror of the insect plague will be increased by more than one level.
You must know that countless spiritual insects have already caused great pressure to people just by relying on instinct. Once they know how to act according to the art of war, it will be a disaster for any city.

"I think it should be a special case."
Zhou Shu said, "The spirit insects outside attacked Tongguan City in advance just to save it. This shows that it is a special existence among the spirit insects. It is very likely that some mutation has occurred in it, so it has
The wisdom."
"I called you here because I want you to come together and think of ways to interrogate useful information from it."
Zhou Shu continued.
Everyone looked at each other, interrogating a bug?
It may be true that this spirit insect can understand human speech, but the problem is that it can't speak. How can it be interrogated?
Is it possible that we need to teach it how to read first?
Let’s not talk about whether it is reliable to teach an insect to read. Even if the insect can really learn it, it cannot be taught.
The people of Zhan and Gu Tianting are not young boys who are new to the world. They have experienced too many battles in their lives.
How could they not have imagined how dangerous it would be to teach a bug to read?
If you educate a bug, if it escapes, it will be able to use the skills it learned from humans to deal with humans. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
"Sir, the spirit insect cannot speak, but it should have Taoist cultivation and strong mental power. We may be able to communicate through spirit."
Zhan said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't work."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "The spiritual frequency of spiritual insects is completely different from that of humans. I have tried to capture its thoughts, but I cannot understand it."
The structure of this spirit insect is different from all the creatures he has seen before, including the mental fluctuations emitted by the spirit insect, which are also difficult to understand.
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Shu called Zhan and the others back.
Only by working together can we find a way to communicate with spiritual insects.
The problem now is that this spirit insect can understand what they say, but they can't understand what the spirit insect says, which is very annoying.
"Since it has mutated and can understand human speech, then maybe it can also speak."
Mu Zhixing said, taking a step forward and coming to the cage, "Chongzhu, can you speak? Tell me honestly, or I will stew you!"
The spirit insect rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side.
Its humanized movements made everyone stunned.
Everyone no longer doubted that Zhou Shu said that this spiritual insect could understand human speech.
"If the mental power cannot communicate, then we can only teach it to write and communicate through writing."
Zhan muttered, "But teaching it to write will bring great hidden dangers. If it escapes, it may have the opportunity to learn the art of war——"
"No need to bother."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I have a way to get all the information it knows, but I need a trustworthy person to execute it."
"Me."
Mu Zhixing took the initiative and said, "Sir, is there anyone else you can trust more than me?"
"Whatever you do, I'll do it! I'll go through fire and water for you, no matter what!"
Mu Zhixing patted his chest and promised.
Zhou Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't want to experience the life of a spiritual insect by himself. Since Mu Zhixing volunteered like this, that was just right.
"Are you sure?"
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"Of course!"
Mu Zhixing said, "Sir, I brought this spiritual insect back. To show that I have no other intentions, it is most appropriate for me to do it!"
"In that case."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "Xue Liang, go and guard outside the mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Wu mansion without my order."
After Xue Liang left, Zhou Shu winked at Zhan and others.
Zhan and others met, and they immediately took action and surrounded the entire backyard.
At this time, Zhou Shu flicked his finger, and the blood on the spirit insect turned into a little white light, which landed on the center of Mu Zhixing's eyebrows. Mu Zhixing's body stiffened and he sat down cross-legged involuntarily.
A faint white light shone on Mu Zhixing's body, and the spirit insect's eyes swayed, looking at Mu Zhixing curiously, as if it didn't know what happened to Mu Zhixing.
Aren’t these people going to interrogate themselves? What are they doing now? Why don’t they ask?
However, its limited knowledge is not enough to understand Zhou Shu's magical powers.
Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Mind Technique can not only affect oneself, but can also affect others.
By letting Mu Zhixing dream of a spirit insect, Zhou Shu no longer has to personally experience the feeling of transforming into a spirit insect. The experience of an insect is nothing to experience.
After a while, the changing light on Mu Zhixing's body disappeared.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and countless scenes seemed to flash through his eyes, and then his face instantly turned extremely pale.
The next moment, he jumped up, ran to the side and vomited.
Seeing Mu Zhi Xing's appearance, Zhou Shu felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't enter the dream of spirit insects himself. The experience he had in Mu Zhi Xing's dream was not very pleasant.
Sure enough, my intuition was right, there are risks in dreaming of spiritual insects!
"Mu Zhixing, what did you see in your dream?"
Zhou Shu said.
"Don't talk to me yet, let me vomit first."
Mu Zhixing waved his hands repeatedly and continued to vomit.
