This sentence is really suitable to describe Ge Changlong, the lord of Tongguan City.
Logically speaking, as the lord of a city, Ge Changlong cannot be considered an ignorant person.
But he is too proud and too confident.
Regarding spiritual insects, although he knew how terrible the insect plague was, he never took them seriously.
Zhou Shu has made it very clear that spirit insects can take the form of humans and hide among the crowd.
Ge Changlong said with great confidence that he would be able to dig out the spirit worm, but obviously, he failed.
Seeing another spiritual insect attacking outside the city, the spiritual insect has not been found yet.
Ge Changlong was about to lead his army out of the city to kill the spiritual insects, but was stopped by Zhou Shu.
"Brother, you can't leave the city now."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "We don't know what has become of that spirit insect. If you lead the army out of the city now, it is very likely that he will get out among the crowd!"
"If we don't leave the city, what should we do with the spirit insects outside the city? Let them attack? Tongguan City's defense cannot stop the spirit insects from attacking several times."
Ge Changlong also frowned and said in embarrassment.
If the person who stopped him was not Zhou Shu, he would have kicked him away.
"Brother Zongquan, are you sure that the spirit insect really turned into a human form?"
Jin Kui next to him also spoke.
As the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, Jin Kui is well-informed, but he has never heard that spirit insects can transform into human forms.
Spiritual insects are beasts, this is the consensus of everyone.
"I've said it many times, I'm absolutely sure."
Zhou Shu said seriously, "So no one should leave the city unless they are sure they are not spirit insects!"
"We have already checked this out. These men under me are all trustworthy. How could they be spiritual insects?"
Ge Changlong said.
"That's not necessarily the case. We have no idea what magical powers the spiritual insects have."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "I heard Master say before that there is a magical power of transformation in this world that can make people seamlessly transform into another person. What if the magical power of spiritual insects is similar?"
Zhou Shu glanced at the people behind Ge Changlong. The only thing that was certain now was that Ge Changlong was definitely not a spirit insect.
The strength of that spiritual insect is not enough to kill Tianzun.
By the same token, Jin Kui and his Tianzun guards can also rule out suspicion.
In addition, when Zhou Shu received the reward of the Divine Weapon Map, Zhan, Mu Zhixing and others who were staying with him all had evidence of alibi.
In addition, everyone in Tongguan City is suspected!
When Ge Changlong was investigating, Zhou Shu also personally participated. Like Ge Changlong, Zhou Shu did not find any problems.
The spirit insect was hidden deeper than Zhou Shu imagined.
This can only explain one thing, that is, the magical power of spiritual insects to transform into human forms is similar to Zhou Shu's ever-changing magical powers, both of which are miraculous creations.
"Boom——"
While everyone was talking, the spirit insects outside the city had begun to attack Tongguan City's defensive formation.
Tens of thousands of spiritual insects attacked, relying on their naturally strong bodies to slam into the light barrier outside Tongguan City.
The mask trembled violently, and even the ground in Tongguan City trembled.
"If you don't leave the city, once the spirit insect rushes in, the spirit insect can still escape."
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice.
"Actually, there is another way."
Zhou Shu said, "When the spirit insect escaped, it stole a tiger-wing knife. This tiger-wing knife was not found. It is conceivable that it must be in the hands of that spirit insect." "There are definitely people in the city who are equipped with tiger-wing knives. We just need to find out if someone who shouldn't have a tiger-wing knife has a tiger-wing knife, or someone has two tiger-wing knives. Then this person is the spirit."
Transformed from insects."
"Yes, such a simple method, why didn't I think of it?"
Ge Changlong patted his head and said.
"It's not that simple."
Jin Kui shook his head and said, "What if he hid the tiger-wing knife somewhere?"
"No, since he wants to escape, he will definitely bring the Tiger Wing Knife with him."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "I can recognize the tiger-wing knife that I forged with my own hands. If it wants to escape, it has to see if I agree or not!"
Zhou Shu's eyes were exposed, and he fell into the hands of those equipped with tiger-wing knives.
"Second brother, please search them for me one by one. I'll go out of the city to deal with them for a while!"
Tongguan City was shaking again, and the light shield was already crumbling.
Ge Changlong said a few words, held the tiger-wing knife, and flew out of Tongguan City, fighting into the spirit insect army.
Jin Kui nodded, and the Tianzun guard beside him also turned into a stream of light and fell outside the city.
"I said Deputy City Lord Wu, if you have any idea, use it as soon as possible. Let's go out of the city to help the City Lord."
Ma Qianli said anxiously.
"No rush."
Zhou Shu had a calm look on his face, "The two powerful Heavenly Masters are taking action, and those spiritual insects won't be able to attack them for a while."
"Everyone holds the tiger-wing knife in front of them, and those who have space magic weapons also have it in their hands."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "Spiritual insect, if you stand up now, you still have a chance to survive. If I find you, you will be dead."
Jin Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Zongquan brother is still too simple.
If the spirit insect really transformed into a human form and hid among the crowd, it would be strange that it would stand out on its own.
As for finding the magic weapon stolen by the spirit insect, as long as the spirit insect is not stupid, it will not be found so easily.
Is that spirit insect stupid?
Obviously not stupid.
It’s strange that a spiritual insect who could come up with such a plan and come to Tongguan City must be a fool.
Jin Kui was not optimistic about Zhou Shu's actions. He felt that since he had already searched once, there was little point in doing it again.
Jin Kui was also thinking about a way, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a good way.
If the spiritual insect can really transform into a human form, and the transformation is seamless, then trying to find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack, almost impossible.
"The tiger-wing knife made by me, Wu Zongquan, has a special feature that you definitely don't know about."
Zhou Shu came to Ma Qianli, picked up the tiger-wing knife in his hand, and said, "General Ma, put a drop of blood on the tiger-wing knife."
Ma Qianli was a little confused, but he still cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the blade.
"Roar——"
That drop of blood fell on the blade, and suddenly the tiger-winged blade's blade flashed with light, like a ferocious tiger roaring in filial piety, and let out a tiger roar.
An illusory tiger shadow looked up to the sky and roared, and then got into the tiger-wing knife.
Everyone was stunned. Tiger Wing Knife, does it have this kind of effect?
"The Tiger Wing Sword was forged by me for the soldiers of Tongguan City. If you are not of my race, it will not be recognized by it."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "Only the blood of the soldiers of Tongguan City can inspire the soul in the tiger-wing sword, but it is impossible for spiritual insects!"
"You can change your body shape, but your bloodline cannot. You can't hide the spirit insect!"
"Next!"
Zhou Shu released Ma Qianli out of the city and looked at the next person.
The light in Jin Kui's eyes flickered. Others couldn't see it, but he could naturally see that the soul in the sword was simply Zhou Shu deceiving people.
The shadow of the tiger that appeared when the blood dripped onto the tiger-wing knife was not the characteristic of the tiger-wing knife at all, but Zhou Shu was making a fool of himself.
"Do you want to use this method to expose the spirit insect?"
Jin Kui thought to himself, "No one with a little experience will be fooled by this method."
Jin Kui did not speak, but watched everyone move forward one by one for Zhou Shu to verify.
Jin Kui also wanted to see Zhou Shu's methods. This pavilion master's direct disciple had truly extraordinary talent in forging weapons, and his skill in forging weapons was also impeccable.
But if you want to become the master of Tiangong Pavilion, these are not enough.
Jin Kui also wanted to use this incident to see how Zhou Shu's skills were and whether he was worthy of assisting him.
As for the threat posed by spiritual insects, Jin Kui also ignored it. How could a mere spiritual insect turn the world upside down?
Even if Tongguan City can't deal with them, there are a lot of forces in the world that can deal with them. If nothing else, when a certain time comes, a false god will come here and he can easily kill all these spiritual insects. p>
Seeing soldiers being released from the city one by one by Zhou Shu, Jin Kui also had some doubts in his heart.
Can he really identify whether these people are transformed from spiritual insects by being so mysterious?
Isn't he afraid that the spiritual insects will not be frightened, so he just sneaks out of the city?
Once out of Tongguan City, with so many spiritual insects covering it, even Ge Changlong may not be able to keep it.
What Jin Kui didn't know was that the Tiger Wing Sword was indeed Zhou Shu's trick, but it didn't mean that Zhou Shu really couldn't find the spirit worm.
The ever-changing magical powers are truly seamless. Even if you use blood, there will be no flaws.
But don’t forget that Zhou Shu still has Zhuang Zhou’s dream of a butterfly!
Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mind Technique can use the blood of living creatures to enter dreams. No matter how seamless the magical power is, it cannot change this.
Even if the spirit insect could block Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie mentality, it could not hide it from Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu wanted to take advantage of this and find the spirit insects.
He doesn't need to actually fall into a dream. As long as he uses the opponent's blood to perform Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique and then escapes immediately, it is enough to determine the opponent's identity.
One after another, Zhou Shu moved very quickly. Seeing that all the people equipped with tiger-wing knives were about to pass the verification, Zhou Shu also had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that the people transformed from the spirit insects were hidden in other people?
Place?
But where did he hide the Tiger Wing Knife?
Just as Zhou Shu was confused, suddenly, a murderous intention flashed through his eyes.
Almost without hesitation, the knife in his hand was thrust forward.
"It's you!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly, and the sword almost hit a soldier.
Zhou Shu's current identity is Wu Zongquan. Wu Zongquan's martial arts strength is only average, and Zhou Shu's combat effectiveness is naturally only ordinary.
The soldier swayed and dodged Zhou Shu's attack.
"Deputy City Lord Wu, what do you mean?"
The soldier shouted.
"What do I mean? Now that things have happened, do you still want to hide your identity? You are a spiritual insect!"
Zhou Shu shouted, "Take it off for me!"
"Crash-"
As soon as Zhou Shu said these words, the surrounding soldiers all moved into action.
"Haha——"
Seeing the crowd gathered around him, the soldier stopped pretending and started laughing.
"I didn't expect that the magic weapon can be used like this. You win the round this time, but if you want to catch me, just dream!"
Before the soldier finished speaking, a white light suddenly appeared from his body. The white light shuttled among the people at an incredible speed and fell into the streets and alleys of the city. The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.
When I went to see the soldier again, he had fallen to the ground and died.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. If he had used all his strength just now, he would have been able to stop the spirit insect. However, if he had used all his strength, his martial arts skills would no longer be a secret.
Although it is not impossible to explain it, it is not the best idea to expose your martial arts cultivation now.
So he still held back and did not take action.
"You actually found it!"
Jin Kui looked at Zhou Shu and thought to himself.
To be honest, he didn't understand how Zhou Shu was sure that the soldier had transformed into a spirit insect.
But now it is obvious that Zhou Shu has found the right one.
That spirit insect can really transform into a human being!
However, this change is different from what they thought. The spirit insect did not really turn into a human, but it possessed the human body, more like a soul seizing the body.
Zhou Shu and Jin Kui's eyes fell on the dead soldier. In a few breaths, the soldier's body had turned into a mummy with no flesh and blood.
It seems that his flesh and blood have long been devoured by spiritual insects. In the past, he could only be maintained by being possessed by spiritual insects. Now that the spiritual insects have escaped, he has naturally become like this.
"It turns out that spirit insects use this method to hide among the crowd."
Jin Kui said, "Brother Zongquan, you are really right."
"In my opinion, this spirit insect can not only devour flesh and blood, but also most likely absorb this person's memory. This means that it can use this method to learn our martial arts, our weapon-making skills, and our
The art of war——"
Jin Kui's expression also became a little solemn.
Zhou Shu nodded. This method of direct swallowing is much easier than learning it by yourself.
"Brother Zongquan, let it escape this time. It already knows that the magic weapon can find it, so it will be troublesome to find it next time."
Jin Kui said in a deep voice.
"If I can find it once, I can find it a second time."
Zhou Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.
"You have no problem anymore. Go out of the city and help the city lord and the others."
Zhou Shu said to the remaining soldiers.
After the soldiers fought their way out of the city, Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and said with a smile, "Deputy City Lord Jin, do you dare to accompany me to meet that spiritual insect for a while?"
"Why not?"
Jin Kui laughed, "Brother Zongquan, do you think that this pavilion master is just a weapon forger? To be honest, my martial arts strength is not inferior to my weapon forging skills."
Jin Kui looked confident, but without any means, how could he become the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Do you really think Tiangong Pavilion is like Tongguan City?
There are many times more powerful people in Tiangong Pavilion than in Tongguan City.
"Brother Zongquan, do you have a way to find it again?"
Jin Kui asked curiously. He was really curious about how Zhou Shu found the spirit insect.
"Don't tell me about the soul of the Tiger Wing Sword. If others don't know it, how can I not know it?"
Jin Kui added.
"Of course I can't hide it from Deputy Pavilion Master Jin."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I have a magical power that can detect people's bloodline. It's that simple."
Zhou Shu did not explain too much and said, "I am still sensitive to the spiritual insect. We have to hurry up, otherwise it will be completely hidden. It will be a bit troublesome to find it again."
While speaking, Zhou Shu had already taken steps forward.
Jin Kui followed without hesitation.
The two walked like wind, walking through several streets and alleys in a row. Just as Jin Kui was confused, Zhou Shu kicked open a door and rushed in with a knife.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, stop it!"
Jin Kui was in a daze when he heard Zhou Shu's voice.
Then he saw a white light coming toward his face.
Almost without thinking, Jin Kui flipped his wrist, and a mirror appeared in his hand. Above the mirror, a golden light shot out instantly, hitting the white light right on top.
A huge force surged in, and Jin Kui took several steps back.
That white light was also knocked over by him and fell back into the yard.
Jin Kui felt depressed for a while, and also felt a little shocked.
The power of this spiritual insect is so great that he almost capsized in the gutter.
"Not good!"
Jin Kui's expression changed, and he almost capsized in the gutter. How could Wu Zongquan be the opponent of that spiritual insect?
Too careless!
The two of them shouldn't have come, they should have brought more people!
Jin Kui did not expect that this spirit insect would be so powerful. You must know that he, Jin Kui, is already half a step above the level of Tianzun. It is impossible for any other spirit insect to be his opponent.
And the spirit insects attacking Tongguan City now do not have the strength of Tianzun at all!
Jin Kui was so anxious that he put strength on his feet and rushed toward the yard.
Wu Zongquan was the pavilion master's personal disciple. If he was killed under his nose, how would he go to see the pavilion master in the future?
Jin Kuina is so hateful, this damn spiritual insect!
"Boom——"
In anger, Jin Kui was as fast as lightning, smashed through the door frame and appeared in the yard.
"Brother Zongquan, hold on, I'm here to save you!"
Jin Kui shouted.
He was holding a mirror, and his whole body was shining with golden light, like a god of war.
When he saw the scene in the yard, he froze on the spot and turned into a wooden man.
His mouth was opened wide enough to fit a duck egg in. After a full moment, Jin Kui opened his mouth and said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Zongquan——Brother, you did this?"
Jin Kui looked at the spirit insect that was stepped on by Zhou Shu. The spirit insect that almost capsized his boat in the sewer was now stepped on by Zhou Shu like a dead snake. His green eyes were also full of energy.
It looked confused and confused, as if it didn’t know how it was being stepped on.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, didn't you do this?"
Zhou Shu said innocently, "Just now it was about to fly out, and then it was hit back by a golden light, and then it became like this. I didn't do anything."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin is truly worthy of being the Deputy Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion. His strength is really impressive. He can catch even a mere spirit insect! I am so impressed that I am so impressed."
