Chapter 404: Witch
Ning Wuxie originally planned to throw the Wu Gu girl into the small world, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, Shi Jun and others who were hiding behind the carriage had stood up and looked at this side.
"Wu Gu tribe!" Someone shouted in horror.
"Master, kill her quickly!"
"Yes, it's too hateful, kill her quickly!"
Ning Wuxie handed the girl tied up like a dumpling to Xuan'er and said, "This person should be a more important person in the Wu Gu tribe, and may have some value."
"Master Lin wants to hand her over to the Human Sect?" Shi Jun asked.
Ning Wuxie nodded slowly, and now this was the only explanation.
At night, the caravan arrived at the rest point. Ning Wuxie's spiritual sense explored and patrolled. When he found nothing unusual, he and Xuan'er picked up the Wu Gu girl and came to a place where Shi Jun's people could not see her under the pretext of interrogation.
The girl had woken up a long time ago, and her amber eyes stared at the people in the caravan, like a ferocious beast.
Xuan'er threw her under a tree, and she struggled left and right, trying to stand up and resist.
Ning Wuxie slowly released the pressure of the earth fairy.
The girl suddenly stopped moving, her body seemed to be petrified, her eyes staring at Ning Wuxie in astonishment, without any resentment or indignation.
"Can you understand what I say?" Ning Wuxie asked.
The girl seemed to be stunned and did not respond.
Ning Wuxie glanced at Xuan'er, who shook her head and said softly: "If you don't understand, there is no way to communicate, and I don't know the language of the Wu tribe."
"Then kill her." Ning Wuxie sighed and summoned the long sword.
The girl's pupils shrank and she shook her head frantically: "Mmm! Mmm!"
Ning Wuxie was stunned, "Do you understand?"
The girl nodded frantically, looking at the sharp long sword in Ning Wuxie's hand, her legs did not flutter, but shrank.
Yes, the Wu Gu tribe that turned into a monster before could talk to her. If this girl is a more advanced Wu Gu tribe, she should also understand the Central Plains language.
She now looks completely docile. In the face of absolute strength, she knows that she has no power to struggle and resist. The other party can make her disappear with just a thought.
Perhaps before, she thought that her companion was killed by Ning Wuxie because the other party won by chance, and Ning Wuxie used some secret method.
But until now, she realized that the strength of the man in front of her was unprecedentedly strong, something she had never seen before, and it broke through her cognition!
"I ask, you answer, don't scream, otherwise I will kill you, understand."
Ning Wuxie slowly raised the long sword and put it on the girl's face.
The girl's eyes were horrified, and she nodded slowly.
Swish——
The sword flashed, and the cloth strip in her mouth was cut to the ground.
The girl swallowed nervously and looked at the two people in front of her tremblingly.
"What's your name?" Ning Wuxie asked.
"Chi Niang..." The girl's words had a heavy accent, but she could still understand them. While speaking, she gestured with her fingers in the air, fearing that Ning Wuxie would not understand and kill her.
"Where are you from?"
"Nanzhao... before..."
"Now?"
Chi Niang hesitated for a while, looked away, and stammered: "Wu, Wulao Mountain..."
"You lied to me?" Ning Wuxie narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.
Chi Niang trembled and turned his head: "This... I can't tell you even if I die..."
"Are your people there?" Ning Wuxie asked.
Chi Niang nodded.
"Then let's not ask this first. I want to ask you, what is the situation on the bank of the Sorrow Cloud River now?"
"What...situation?" Chi Niang raised her head and looked over with some surprise.
"Aren't you fighting with the Renzong led by Yuchi Songxu?" Ning Wuxie asked, "Why did you come to this side of the mountain? There is no Renzong team here."
When she heard the four words Yuchi Songxu, Chi Niang's eyes clearly revealed hatred that was difficult to conceal, but she glanced at Ning Wuxie and quickly lowered her head.
"Yuchi Songxu occupied Nanzhao City and killed many people... We fled and hid." Chi Niang whispered, "But we still couldn't win, so we ran over here and attacked your team that was delivering supplies."
"Can blocking supplies defeat the Ren Sect?" Ning Wuxie asked.
Chi Niang stopped talking, just lowered her head, "No, I don't know..."
"How many people are there with Yuchi Songxu now?"
Chi Niang raised her head, a little puzzled: "How many people?"
"Yes, including the flying Ren Sect cultivators and his five hundred evil tigers."
"Then there should be more than a thousand people in total..."
Ning Wuxie was secretly shocked. Ye Qingxuan really made a big move by sending five hundred Ren Sect disciples here.
You know, the Ren Sect has things to deal with in various places in Lingwu Continent, hunting down demons or dealing with unsolved cases, and now it actually sent more than five hundred cultivators to this place in Chouyun River at one time.
In the previous life, Ning Wuxie followed Li Luobing to attack Xuan'er.
But at that time, the whole world knew that Tianmingshan Jiang Ningxuan was the Demon Queen, unlike now? The whole world still doesn't know what Chouyunjiang is?
Ning Wuxie looked at Chi Niang's expression of hatred and fear, and gradually had an idea in his mind.
"How do you Wu Gu tribe fight? Tell me the method of cultivating that kind of Gu worm."
Chi Niang quickly told Ning Wuxie about the Wu Gu. It turned out that within the Wu Gu tribe, there are high-level Wu tribes, which are humans with normal body and appearance like Chi Niang. There are also low-level Gu slaves, which are the ugly short people who are used as cannon fodder.
The Wu Gu people have been connected with Gu worms since their birth. Each Wu tribe will choose a mother worm to live in her body, and plant the larvae in the body of the Gu slave. The Gu slave feeds the larvae with blood and flesh, and the mother worm can also get feedback, growing stronger day by day, and providing strength for the master.
The Wu tribe has both mother worms and larvae in their bodies, providing blood and flesh for the Wu tribe with higher status. The entire Wu tribe society is like a pyramid, with the top being the worshiper of the Wu God and the great wizard who is the leader of the entire Wu Gu tribe. At the bottom of the pyramid are the Gu slaves, who only have larvae in their bodies.
Therefore, when fighting, the Gu slaves with the advantage in numbers will pounce first. After they die, the larvae break out of their bodies and return to the mother worm, and merge to provide great power for the host.
Generally, the parasitic Gu worms in the Wu Gu tribe are based on the family unit, and the larvae of the clan leader parasitize in the body of the next-level family member.
Ning Wuxie gradually understood that the attack suffered during the day was obviously initiated by a Wu Gu family, and those tall men were Wu tribe. The short ones were slave Gu slaves, so they launched the attack first.
But they seemed to have obviously relaxed their vigilance. The Gu slaves and the Wu tribe launched attacks almost at the same time, so they died at the same time. The larvae in the Gu slaves did not have time to fly back to the Wu tribe.
But with the death of the Wu tribe and the Gu slaves, the larvae and the mother larvae all broke out of their bodies and flew to the only surviving patriarch at that time.
The patriarch's power was unprecedentedly strengthened. He sacrificed the power of the Gu worms obtained by the entire family, which made his strength reach the sea level. He thought he would definitely be able to take revenge.
But this was also an illusion.
When he got here, Ning Wuxie understood it completely, and gradually understood what the situation was like inside the Wu Gu tribe.
They believed in the Wu God and lived in seclusion in the mountains, but they were not completely isolated from the world. Although they were not like the East Sea Islanders who shared the same language and race as the Lingwu Continent, they also yearned for the Central Plains culture and regarded learning Chinese as a relatively advanced skill. Only the more advanced Wu tribe was allowed to learn it.
Thinking of this, Ning Wuxie looked at Chi Niang.
So...
Then what is this girl?
A whole Wu Gu family was killed, and all the mother and child insects died, but Chi Niang was fine. She didn't even fight!
Ning Wuxie put away the sword in his hand, "Very good, now tell me..."
"Who are you?"
Chi Niang trembled, tears welled up in her eyes:
"I, I am... a witch of the Wu Gu clan."
"That is... the next great wizard..."
