"Did any of you encounter anything similar to the bloodworm when this casual cultivator died?"
Lu Xuan asked with a serious expression.
"No no."
Several Song family monks shook their heads.
One of them seemed to have thought of something, hesitated and said.
"Senior Lu, when that casual cultivator was about to die, I saw a line of blood shooting out of his body. I just thought he had blood in his body, so I didn't pay much attention."
"Um."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
"It looks like he has fled far away."
"Uncle Lu, what should we do now?"
Song Yu had a worried look on his face. Something as big as evil spirits invading Kongming Island had happened. As the owner of the island, he could be said to be extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan, who was still in the foundation-building realm and came from a large sect, was able to stabilize his mentality.
"Daily patrols must continue, but we need more manpower to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of us. In addition, we must maintain order on the island and prepare more evil-dispelling talismans."
"The evil insect just now is called the Blood-Coagulating Yin Insect, and it is a common method used by evil cultivators to practice blood cultivation techniques. Therefore, there are probably traces of evil cultivators behind it."
"These two casual cultivators were attacked and contaminated by evil insects after returning from the sea, so the focus is to check those cultivators who have returned to the island recently."
Lu Xuan gave instructions to the head of the Song family.
"As for me, I will act according to the opportunity and freely search the Kongming Island to deal with the monks who have been contaminated by the blood clotting worms."
The blood clot worm has almost replaced the monk's blood circulation. Unless it is stimulated at close range, or it comes out on its own after sucking blood, it would be difficult to detect its traces by ordinary means.
And Lu Xuan has a strange cloud-walking lynx with strange eyes that can detect the aura of evil spirits, a third-grade Wusui Jade that can resist the invasion of evil spirits, a third-grade Pure Spirit Talisman that is powerful against evil spirits, and a fourth-grade Yunshan Jade Rui, so to speak.
One person is worth all the monks of the Song family on Kongming Island.
After determining with Song Yu the measures to deal with the blood-coagulating Yinworm, Lu Xuan disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
On the bluestone street.
The cloud-walking lynx lay on Lu Xuan's shoulder, its thick cloud-like soles curled together, its green eyes scanning every casual cultivator coming and going, and the two tufts of gray hair on the tips of its ears rotated accordingly.
"Ouch..."
It buried its head and roared softly in Lu Xuan's ears, its rough voice carrying a lingering hint of contentment.
"Okay, I saw it."
Lu Xuan calmly used his spiritual power to form a sound-insulating film outside his ears, and locked his eyes on a thin monk not far away in front of him.
The spiritual energy in his body surged, slowly seeping into his eyes, and using the method in "The Art of Breaking the Illusion Pupil", a layer of hazy mist appeared on the surface of the pupils.
After he obtained the "Breaking the Illusion Eye Technique", he practiced it for a long time every day. It was barely at the entry level and he understood some superficial applications of the Eye Technique.
Under the influence of the hazy mist, Lu Xuan saw the whole world in his eyes more deeply and truly.
In his eyes, the skinny monk became a mass of red and white lines. The white ones were spiritual power, and the red ones were naturally the blood-coagulating worms that evolved into large and small blood vessel tentacles.
As if aware that it was being spied on, the surface of the blood-colored evil insect dimmed a bit and squirmed towards the inside of the skinny monk's body.
"This blood-coagulating Yinworm is really evil. It has invaded and polluted the monk's body. How can the monk still say that he can move freely and be conscious."
"Perhaps it just replaces the muscles and blood vessels in the monk's body. After sucking up the blood, it sheds its shell and leaves only a mummy."
While Lu Xuan was analyzing, his spiritual consciousness locked onto the thin monk, hanging far behind him.
The thin monk said hello to the acquaintances he met on the road and returned to his yard.
As soon as he entered the house, he took out a piece of fresh monster meat from his storage bag.
Looking at the monster meat in his hand that still had the smell of blood, a loud swallowing sound came from the monk's throat, and then he bit off a large piece of meat in one bite.
Somehow, he felt that his demand for this kind of fresh flesh and blood was increasing recently. If he didn't eat it for a few days, he would even feel a faint urge for blood.
"Fortunately, there is a certain amount of spiritual power contained in the meat of monster beasts. After eating it, it can slightly increase your cultivation level. After practicing for a period of time, you can break through to the sixth level of Qi training."
"No matter how hard you work and become a high-level Qi practitioner, you will no longer have to live such a precarious life."
The thin monk sighed in a low voice, a trace of expectation flashing in his eyes.
He immediately sat down, running the low-level skills he bought from the casual cultivator's stall, trying hard to absorb the thin spiritual energy in his body.
Suddenly, a bright white light appeared directly in his sea of consciousness, and his body tightened instantly, and there was a strong pulling feeling.
Lu Xuan held the fourth-grade Great Sun Sword Talisman and looked at the blood-coagulated Yin worm that emerged from the body of the thin monk with a stern expression.
The evil insects were swept away by the sword energy like the blazing sun, and the blood and energy in their bodies melted rapidly like the clear sky after snow.
After a few breaths, the countless tiny blood vessel tentacles turned into a small pile of black ash, sprinkling on the monk's body which had long become an empty shell.
"rest in peace."
After Lu Xuan confirmed that there was no evil aura around him, he looked at the withered corpses of casual cultivators on the ground, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.
After discovering that the monk was abnormal, he followed him all the way to his residence, and after confirming that there were no other invaded and contaminated monks around, Lu Xuan used the Great Sun Sword Talisman to easily eliminate the evil insects hiding in the monk's body in a single face-to-face encounter.
"It's a pity that the evil insects have been invaded for so long that the whole person has almost become a walking zombie, and there is no way to save him."
He sighed secretly.
"However, I didn't expect that the sword energy in this Sun Sword Talisman would have a natural restraint effect on the blood-coagulating Yin Insects."
Lu Xuan looked at the red talisman hanging in the scorching sun in his hand, feeling satisfied in his heart.
He asked the cloud-walking lynx to circle around the courtyard, and after confirming that there was no other evil aura, he hurried to other places.
In a wide square, Lu Xuan walked aimlessly, observing his surroundings carefully.
"Ouch..."
The low roars of the cloud-walking lynx continued to sound, and waves of cold breath came from the Wushan jade hanging around his neck. The chill continued to increase, almost freezing his chest.
In the square, many monks were coming and going, and the sound of bargaining could be heard all the time, which painted a picture of all the monks in the world.
But after Lu Xuan used his pupil technique, more than a dozen monks with blood-red light were approaching him intentionally or unintentionally.
These monks were controlled by something unknown, their pupils were covered with faint bloodshot eyes, and their words and deeds showed a bit of stiffness.
"This little brother, you have to be careful when you walk."
Lu Xuan held down the shoulders of a teenage boy. The boy had just skipped past him and accidentally slipped and almost fell to the ground.
In his slightly misty eyes, the boy's body, chest, abdomen, limbs, etc. were completely filled with blood.
Inside his body, there is actually an insect king that is ten times more powerful than ordinary blood-coagulating Yin Insects!
