Chapter 0494 Insect Monster

An almost transparent worm broke through the snow.

It was called a worm because you couldn't see its head or tail. It was bare from top to bottom, without any mouth, nose, hands, or feet.

But this worm was really too big. Its round body was at least ten feet in diameter, and the part exposed above the snow was dozens of feet long. It had a lot of snow on it, and from a distance it looked like a snow pillar. The Taoist priest of the Lantern Department was swallowed by it.

"What is this thing?" Xin Youtao shouted in astonishment, and his hands were not idle. He offered a pathfinder talisman, and a cloud of light smoke surged in all directions like waves. If the enemy launched an invisible attack, it would be revealed in the smoke.

The giant worm did not cast a magic spell, but pounced directly on several people.

Except Xin Youtao, everyone else attacked. Because the distance was very close, less than a hundred steps apart, several spells hit the target almost at the same time, and then passed through the worm, as if nothing was hit.

Several people were shocked, and in the time it took them to be stunned, the giant insect had already pounced on them. The Taoists hurriedly flew up and retreated. Only Mu Xingqiu and the bald man did not retreat, but instead went forward. The flea got the signal and flew away quickly.

With a light puff, one person and one head entered the inside of the insect. It turned out that it did not swallow things with its "mouth", but directly melted the prey into its body - it had no mouth, but mouths everywhere.

Xin Youtao did not retreat either. He believed in Mu Xingqiu and thought that a miracle would happen at the last moment. He did not expect that he would be so easily eaten by the giant insect. He opened his eyes wide, and the two paper talismans in his hand were melted into the insect before he could offer them.

The remaining four Taoists were even more stunned and rose to a height of dozens of feet, but they were Taoists after all. They would not watch their companions being swallowed by monsters, nor would they turn around and run away. The Five Elements Department attacked, the Mirror Department assisted, the Discipline Department protected, and the Scripture Department confused the enemy's mind. They cooperated very well.

The giant worm swayed and quickly retreated into the snow. The Taoists from the Five Elements and Mirrors changed more than ten kinds of spells in succession, all of which were as if they were in a state of nothingness, passing through the body of the giant worm without causing any damage.

The moment the giant worm disappeared, another giant worm surged like a fountain under the Taoists, emitting a strong suction force and swallowing the last four prey.

The inside of the giant worm was full of wet and sticky liquid, which was suffocating when wrapped around the body, and it quickly penetrated the clothes and drilled into the skin, like countless small worms squeezing into the shelter.

Mu Xingqiu came in on his own initiative and had already held his breath. The bald man didn't know that he didn't need to breathe, but he couldn't stop the mucus from entering his mouth, so he kept spitting it out, and the red light emitted by the magic eye on his forehead never stopped. When the giant worm escaped into the underground and it was dark all around, the red light became the only means of illumination.

There were fifteen missing Taoist priests, and there were only three souls inside the giant worm, which meant that the others were not dead yet. This was the most important reason why Mu Xingqiu dared to rush into the giant worm. The worm body could allow spells to pass through it directly, so if he wanted to kill it, he could only start from the inside.

Mu Xingqiu held the Frost Soul Sword in one hand and the bald man in the other, using him as a lighting lamp, and tried to swim deeper into the giant worm. Xin Youtao followed not far behind, feeling so sick that he wanted to vomit, but he dared not open his mouth even if he was beaten to death. The mucus was too permeable, and after a while, the paper talisman in his hand lost its magic power, so he had to swim towards Mu Xingqiu desperately, hoping that this adventurous friend could still find a way to escape.

A suction force came from deeper inside the insect body, and the prey were descending faster and faster. Mu Xingqiu didn't need to use his magic power. In fact, it was getting harder and harder for him to cast a spell. Some of the mucus had penetrated into his skin and even into his meridians. They were familiar with the route and went straight to his lower dantian, wrapping it up like a spider web. The inner elixir was still rotating normally, but it was getting harder and harder for the magic power to enter his meridians.

Mu Xingqiu still had an inner elixir in the Niwan Palace, which was his last resort, but he had not cast a spell for a long time, wanting to see what kind of monster was controlling the giant insect.

The part under the snow of the giant insect was even larger, like a bottomless pit, and there was no end in sight. The bald man was tired, and the red light could only appear from time to time. Xin Youtao caught up, patted Mu Xingqiu on the shoulder, and pointed to the upper right, where there was a dark passage, obviously another insect body.

Perhaps the so-called giant insect was just a series of tentacles. Mu Xingqiu nodded, thinking that they were not far from the center.

Xin Youtao pointed to his lower dantian again and shook his head. He could no longer cast spells. The mana generated by the inner elixir was trapped and could not enter the meridians, let alone the crimson palace.

Mu Xingqiu held Xin Youtao's arm and motioned him to rest assured.

The bald man suddenly swayed excitedly, and the red light he emitted illuminated a figure. It was the Taoist priest of the Lantern and Candle Department who was swallowed in before.

The female Taoist priest spread her limbs, as if she had lost consciousness and could only drift into the depths of the monster.

Xin Youtao felt a little panic and turned his head to look around. Not far to the right, he saw four other Taoist priests, who were also floating in the mucus, with their limbs motionless.

Are these Taoist priests dead or alive? Xin Youtao felt panic again, and with it came doubts. Why did the other Taoist priests lose their resistance, but he and Mu Xingqiu were fine? Especially himself, whose mana was weaker and courageous, should have fainted earlier than anyone else.

After a while, Xin Youtao understood that he didn't faint because he followed Mu Xingqiu. Mu Xingqiu didn't have any special magic, but he was calm inside the insect body. Xin Youtao was infected and had been relatively calm, so he didn't lose consciousness, but because of the panic just now, he began to feel dizzy.

Not only to save himself, but also to save Xiao Qingtao, with this thought, Xin Youtao regained his composure, swam hard, and moved forward side by side with Mu Xingqiu.

After a while, the suction force suddenly disappeared, and everyone who was sucked in spun involuntarily. The bald man emitted red light intermittently, illuminating a piece of pure darkness.

After turning around for about half a circle, Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao finally saw the general situation clearly. This is a huge funnel-shaped vortex, rotating slowly, taking the Taoist priests to the core. The end can't be seen clearly with the third eye, but it is definitely not an escape exit.

Mu Xingqiu also saw that several Taoist priests were spinning below them. They were obviously the people who had been chased out before. There were thirteen in total, two were missing. Including Jiang Yinxia, ​​they happened to be the three that Mu Xingqiu detected on the ground. Only soul.

The insect monster sucked up a seven-day-old soul and killed two Taoist priests. Mu Xingqiu felt angry and confused. Could this be another new evil spell? Before this, he had never heard of such a powerful demon clan.

Xin Youtao recognized Xiao Qingtao. She was floating at the bottom of the vortex, not far from the finish line. Xin Youtao hurriedly slapped Mu Xingqiu to signal him to hurry up.

The inner alchemy in Mu Xing Qiuniwan Palace began to provide mana. He stabilized his body and the first thing he did was to expel all the spider-like power entangled in his Dantian.

Xin Youtao firmly grabbed one of Mu Xingqiu's arms to resist the pull of the vortex. Four Taoist priests floated over behind him, and he grabbed one of them.

Mu Xingqiu cast a spell. He did not dare to use this power easily outside for fear of accidentally injuring his companions. Now that everyone is within sight, he can accurately select the target.

This is not a soul-summoning technique, but the powerful suction provided by Meng Yuanhou's soul.

Meng Yuanhou died. He had no soul, so his soul was no different from that of ordinary people. It should have disappeared after forty-nine days without leaving any traces. However, the amber formed at the last moment of his life did not make the soul disappear. Becoming a unique entity: neither having independent consciousness like Fangfang's soul, nor being as weak as ordinary souls.

Meng Yuanhou's last thought was to continue to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. This idea continued to strengthen in the following years, forming the powerful suction power of the Amber Taoist. When the soul entered the Frost Soul Sword, this power was transferred from amber to the sword. Inside.

Zuo Liuying cast a spell to control this suction. To be precise, he used soul to control soul. He taught Fangfang's soul some spells, allowing her to control Meng Yuanhou's soul.

With the assistance of hundreds of thousands of souls, the suction force generated by Meng Yuanhou's soul is very powerful, similar to that of the Amber Taoist Priest supported by the Giant Demon King's blood sea formation.

Meng Yuanhou is a Taoist priest, and he naturally repels demons in amber, but in the Frost Soul Sword, his soul will absorb anything as needed, even demons.

Xin Youtao's eyes did not blink. The Taoist priests who had just drifted past stopped and slowly moved in the opposite direction. After a while, the Taoist priests deep in the vortex stopped one after another. Xin Youtao did not dare to affect Mu Xingqiu's spell casting. , I could only keep urging in my heart, and finally, the little green peach at the bottom also stopped.

The insect monster obviously noticed something unusual. Among the prey it swallowed, there were still people who were not unconscious, nor were their bodies and souls separated, so the vortex turned faster.

The Taoist priest's body couldn't bear the intense pulling, so Mu Xingqiu didn't use all his strength, but the insect monster didn't care. Even if it tore its prey into pieces, it didn't care.

Xiao Qingtao and others began to slowly move to the deepest point again, while Xin Youtao could only worry on the side.

Mu Xingqiu held the Frost Soul Sword in his left hand, fighting for the Taoist priest with the insect monster, and used his right hand to cast the illusion of mind. The lightning was also driven by the vortex, extending downward in a circle, but the speed was much faster than that of the Taoist priests. When the end of the lightning passed the small green peach at the bottom, it was no longer at the mercy of the vortex, and suddenly turned into a lightning net, covering Towards the deepest invisible darkness.

It seemed like something exploded.

The sound could not be transmitted through the mucus, and the giant vortex began to shrink sharply. The Taoist priests quickly flew towards the Frost Soul Sword, and a powerful thrust followed them.

All the Taoist priests gathered around Mu Xingqiu and were pushed upward. Xin Youtao understood that the insect monster was going to spit them out! He stretched out his other hand and grabbed Xiao Qingtao's wrist among the dozens of unconscious Taoist priests floating around.

She was not dead yet, she still had a pulse, and Xin Youtao breathed a sigh of relief.

The insect monster vomited things much faster than swallowing them. After a while, more than a dozen people rushed out of the snow and flew high into the sky.

The bald man shouted: "It's so fun!"

Xin Youtao immediately let go of Mu Xingqiu, summoned a new paper talisman, cast a spell to catch all the unconscious Taoist priests, and then sacrificed the talisman again to block the unclean air and let everyone breathe normally.

The flea had grown impatient and jumped over, stopping right at Mu Xingqiu's feet and holding him up.

The snow in a radius of more than ten miles roared, undulating like boiling water, and then a voice came from the ground.

"If you become a demon, you will die! If you become a demon, you will die! No one can stop me!"

Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao glanced at each other, and saw the same surprise and confusion on each other's faces. The voice was clearly that of the dead Jiang Yinxia. His soul had not passed seven days, and the memory still existed. Under the influence of some kind of magic, It was possible to speak with support, but his tone was completely different from when he was alive: he was not justifying being possessed by a demon, but rather enforcing the precepts for Taoism.
