The whole body was as shriveled as a mummy, the eye sockets were sunken, without any energy, the lips were dry and peeling, without any blood, and he was like a walking zombie.
His body was full of tiny holes that could not bleed much blood, and there were dark and weird bugs the size of fingernails crawling in and out, eating away at his already lacking flesh and blood and vitality.
Black worm.
A kind of insect that appears in mountain stone mines.
Whether it's waste rock or spiritual ore, he eats everything.
Even some extremely hard stone ores can be slowly broken into pieces and eaten.
Of course, whether it can be digested is another matter.
If it cannot be digested, it will all be excreted and turned into a pile of tiny gravels.
This black nutworm is not aggressive at all.
It is rare to hear that this bug eats flesh and blood.
But now they are indeed eating.
Jiang Xiangwen is now in a trance and his vitality is almost exhausted. Even if he is not discovered by anyone, he probably won't be alive for a few days.
At this time, Lin Xi and people from the seven major families came over.
"This is where the cry for help came from." Lin Xi pointed to a corner deep in the mine.
The soil under the stone wall is a bit soft, but after all, the mine is so big that it is not easy to find.
Chang Daoyuan frowned slightly: "Come here, dig it out."
Soon a monk who was proficient in earth-attribute magic came out and just made a few spells. Then the ground began to shake slightly, and stone pillars rose up around where Lin Xi was pointing.
Because stone pillars were raised around it, the land in the middle naturally collapsed.
This is a special application of magic.
Spells are not just for attacking.
Sometimes flexible use can produce good results.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there once was such a strange person, Shui Hua Zhenjun.
This legendary and well-known casual cultivator does not sacrifice magic weapons, does not practice magical powers, and is not tempted even if he obtains powerful secret skills. He concentrates on practicing a low-level water attribute spell-water condensing arrow.
He didn't even learn the more powerful water attribute spells, he only used water-condensing arrows.
Once the Water Flower True Lord casts the Condensing Water Arrow, the overwhelming azure water arrows will condense and move according to his heart. They will not fall blindly, but will form a field similar to a field.
He can fly into the sky with condensed water arrows, use condensed water arrows to condense into a huge water dragon, use condensed water arrows to form terrifying water storms, and the most outrageous thing is that he can form an array with condensed water arrows, which is unique in the world of immortality.
This is to refine a spell to the extreme and use it absolutely as you wish.
Of course, ordinary monks are really not suitable to learn how to do it.
Because before you really do whatever you want, you will suffer very, very badly in the fight due to your lack of fighting methods, and you may not be able to defeat anyone.
The hole was dug, and everyone saw the dying Jiang Xiangwen.
That miserable appearance is indeed too horrible to look at.
The hearts of everyone in the seven major families sank.
Because looking at the other party's attire, it was obvious that he was a casual cultivator who had been brought into the mine a few months ago.
what happened?
Why is there a fish that slipped through the net here?
But he happened to shout out when the Qingyun Sect people came.
It's really troublesome.
"Save people." Lin Xi said, and then jumped directly into the pit.
He checked Jiang Xiangwen's physical condition.
Extremely bad.
"Even if you don't die, you are lucky." Lin Xi took out a rare healing elixir, pinched open Jiang Xiangwen's mouth, and stuffed the elixir inside.
Then Lin Xi looked at the black worms moving in and out of Jiang Xiangwen's body, and her brows knitted together.
He poured spiritual power into Jiang Xiangwen.
It's just that it didn't pour into the meridians, but poured directly into the flesh and blood.
The spiritual power forcibly blocked the blood holes and wounds all over his body, at least slowing down the flow of life, and expelling these black worms from Jiang Xiangwen's body.
It's not that it has to be expelled, it just looks disgusting.
The black worms were squeezed out of Jiang Xiangwen's body by spiritual power, and there were seven to eight hundred of them densely packed.
Lin Xi gathered a spiritual power and prepared to crush these insects to death.
"etc!"
Such a voice came from the bottom of Lin Xi's heart.
This is Zheng Qipeng.
Although his soul is stored in the puppet, he can still know the situation outside.
Lin Xi threw him into a fantasy world to enjoy the happiness, but she didn't really block his perception.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked silently in her heart.
Because a trace of spirit is imprinted on the puppet, the two can communicate directly through spiritual consciousness.
Zheng Qipeng said: "Black worms are rare. Keep them. Maybe they can be used in the future for sacrificial puppets."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Xi thought for a while and agreed.
Controlling insects is a very common method.
It's just that Lin Xi didn't meet any spiritual insects worth cultivating.
Of course, he has no method of cultivating spiritual insects.
It is not difficult to preserve these spiritual insects. I made a beast-control ring specifically to trap Xiaopeng Wang Lin Xi. Now it is no problem to use it to contain insects.
"There's one more thing." Zheng Qipeng said again.
"What's wrong."
"Your illusion is too extravagant, I can't stand it."
"Don't worry, it's just an illusion and it won't drain your body. Besides, you don't have a body to drain yourself of."
"I...I didn't mean that." Zheng Qipeng said angrily.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I still don't like it very much. Can you create a small courtyard full of puppets? Even if I can't really study puppets, I feel more comfortable than now."
"Okay then." Lin Xi thought for a moment: "How about combining two into one. Keep the current luxurious palace and dancers, and create another puppet cabin for you."
"No... no need."
Seeing that Zheng Qipeng's refusal was not very firm, Lin Xi smiled inwardly.
Soon, in the illusion, a puppet cabin slowly appeared in the luxurious palace.
"Then play music, then dance."
"..."
After putting away all the black worms, Lin Xi felt a chill on her back.
He turned his head.
People from the seven major families were watching him quietly.
No one came to help.
They looked at Lin Xi with strange eyes.
Once this casual cultivator wakes up, Lin Xi will definitely know everything they concealed.
Maybe at this time, killing Lin Xi is the best choice?
Such an idea emerged from their minds.
It will take time for Qingyun Sect to react.
However, this is risky after all, and the awe of the Qingyun Sect is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they are still hesitant.
Lin Xi reacted immediately.
I'm afraid the current situation is a bit dangerous.
"This man must be a former miner, right? His life is really long. He's not dead yet." Lin Xi pretended to say, "But I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover. I won't stay long. After the rescue, you will be responsible for taking care of him."
The seven major families were a little unsure of Lin Xi's attitude.
Was the other party pretending to be stupid, or did he really not guess anything?
"Don't worry, sir, leave it to us." Chang Daoyuan said.
At this moment, Jiang Xiangwen, who was almost dead, miraculously woke up.
The vitality is really tenacious.
But his eyes were full of fear.
"Are you Envoy Qingyun?" Jiang Xiangwen said with difficulty.
Lin Xi nodded: "That's right."
"Save...save me. The seven major families are trapping and killing a large number of casual cultivators. I don't want to die."
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely weird.
The dark mine was filled with a faint murderous intent.
The eyes of the seven major families were all focused on Lin Xi.
Oops.
Lin Xi's heart tightened.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have needed such a good healing elixir.
