The old man obviously felt something was wrong and took advantage of this moment to get rid of Brother Chicken's attack.
He quickly took out the last black pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, and then asked doubtfully.
I'm not a fool, how could I confess to him directly?
"You don't care where I got the talisman, just use whatever skills I have!"
I was talking while observing the situation through the window.
Those colorful big spiders don't look like kind creatures, and they are so big.
If I were bitten by one of them, I guess even a god would have to shed his skin.
It seems that the window is impassable. If you want to get down now, you may have to rush down from the stairs.
It's just that I don't have cinnabar powder in my hand now, so I'm really scared if I want to fight hard now.
However, through the dim street lights outside the window, I suddenly discovered something.
Although the red poisonous mist began to fill the entire room, there seemed to be a vacuum area near the bone statue.
And not only that, when I was renovating it, I also asked the masters to look at the table. It was just an ordinary pine table, nothing out of the ordinary.
Logically speaking, if those centipedes wanted to attack me, they could just climb up the table legs.
But now, even though the old man has been holding the bone flute and playing it continuously, he seems to be giving orders to them.
But they never made any movement, as if this table was like a forbidden area in their eyes.
I didn't expect that this bone statue could have such an effect.
But anyway, this is indeed good news for me. At least I don’t have to worry about those centipedes climbing up and attacking me for the time being.
Otherwise, I really have no way to escape.
After the old man played the bone flute for a while, he obviously felt that something was not quite right.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to have a lot of good things!"
As the old man spoke, he looked at the table under my feet, and his eyes were obviously different.
"There are many things you don't know. By the way, be careful when you speak. Otherwise, you might choke to death on the pills in your mouth. That would be bad!"
While I was talking, I suddenly saw the large jar of lamp oil on the table.
This was originally left by the dead old woman, and was originally used to refuel the two everlasting lamps on both sides of the bone statue.
But since I arrived, apart from occasionally putting a few columns of fragrance on the bone statue, this ever-burning lamp has never been lit.
Now it seems that this thing has just the right purpose.
Just in time, the big rooster I raised came up again, flapping its wings.
Although this old man has some cultivation, he has used all his skills on poisonous insects. Facing this big rooster weighing more than twenty kilograms, it is difficult for him to deal with it at this moment.
What effective damage can a big rooster do?
After all, roosters eat bugs, which is the natural fate of all things.
Even if this big rooster stood among the centipedes, the centipedes would not dare to launch any attack on it.
When the old man wasn't paying attention, I picked up the bottle of lamp oil and threw it directly at the old man.
He was busy fighting with the big cock and didn't pay attention to the movement behind him.
By the time he discovered it, it was already too late. He could only smash the bottle of lamp oil with his elbow.
But when he came this way, it was just right and he played into my hands.
"Old man, I'll treat you to a treat!"
The old monster also clearly felt that something was wrong, but with the big rooster hanging around him, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Without saying a word, I took out the lighter from my pocket, lit an ever-burning lamp, and threw it at the old man.
"Brother Chicken, withdraw!"
After throwing out the ever-burning lantern in my hand, I immediately shouted, and the big cock that was still fighting with the old man flew backwards in a very humane manner.
Its front legs had just exited the battle circle, and all the clothes on the old monster's back legs were directly set on fire by me.
"ah--"
Then I heard a heartbreaking scream, and the old monster didn't care about anything else and just rolled on the spot.
But this kind of lamp oil was originally produced for ever-lasting lamps. How can it be so easy to extinguish when it burns?
Suddenly the old monster suffered a disaster, and not only him, but also the centipedes on the ground suddenly suffered great misfortune.
Fortunately, during this renovation, I threw away all the miscellaneous furniture, and the floor on the second floor was completely covered with floor tiles.
Although the old thing kept rolling back and forth on the ground, it didn't ignite anything else.
It took him a lot of effort to take off the skin on his body, but even so, his whole body was burnt to black.
"Boy, just wait for me!"
After the old guy finished speaking, he didn't care about anything and jumped directly from the window.
After losing his restraint, the centipedes began to scatter in all directions.
When I saw this scene, I became even more depressed.
If these things are really hidden, how can I live in this house?
Adding all the centipedes all over the ground together, I estimate that the number must be at least tens of thousands.
If you want to find them all with just this big rooster, you will have to look for years and years of monkeys.
What's more, my neighborhood is a business district. If these things escape, the people nearby will really suffer!
However, it turns out that I really seem to be overthinking this kind of thing.
These centipedes are not ordinary centipedes, they are half-finished Gu!
I once heard a master say that there are only a few ways to raise voodoo.
The most common one is to deprive these poisonous insects of food for a long time, and then lock them in a closed environment. After they kill and devour themselves, only the last surviving one will be taken.
Then the next round of devouring is carried out, and after dozens of rounds of this, the protozoa that is produced is the so-called Gu.
But at this time it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. Next, these centipedes will be fed with their own essence and blood, and then mixed with some secret medicine.
Because the bugs that have reached this stage have actually developed some intelligence themselves.
In other words, it is instinctive. They will instinctively sense danger and then instinctively want to escape.
These secret medicines are used to restrict their escape. Once the owner's body is too far away, these secret medicines will start to take effect, and then drive these bugs to actively search for their owners.
This is also the reason why the insects raised by those who practice insect control are particularly obedient.
