"Yang Chan..."
Gu Chen wanted to pull her up, but Yang Chan shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, just leave me alone."
Gu Chen and Qingfeng had no choice but to walk away far away. They were also by the lake, but five or six feet away from Yang Chan. Seeing her kneeling on the ground sobbing, neither of them knew what to do. .
Gu Chen wanted to know the specific situation, so he asked: "Are all those adults really dead?"
Qingfeng nodded and said: "They are all dead. Some suddenly killed each other, some rotted away for no reason, and some..."
"How about it?"
"The brains were eaten by those kids."
Gu Chen thought of Old Man Xu and the two Xuanmu Sect disciples, and his body became cold, and he asked, "What's going on with the blood filarial worm?"
When Gu Chen was practicing in Kunlun Mountain, he had read a lot of immortal classics and was considered to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but he had never heard of blood filarial worms.
"It is an ancient zerg that is tiny in size. It only appears at night and moves with the moonlight. They like to eat children, then occupy their bodies and turn them into infant ghosts. Most of them stay in children. In their brains, they can control the actions of those children.”
Just hearing this, Gu Chen felt weird. He remembered that the little girl by the river outside the cave had deformed her body. It was as if all the flesh and blood inside her body had been eaten away, and then all of it was squeezed into her head. That's why she The big-headed dwarf that would turn into that kind of monster now seems to be a monster called an infant ghost.
"However, once those blood filarial worms enter a child's body, they will die when they come out. Moreover, they hate vitality the most, so as soon as they enter the child's body, they begin to devour their vitality and turn them into lifeless corpses. This is the only way Only then can they truly occupy that body, and the process of devouring life will make them stronger, and then they will begin to multiply rapidly involuntarily."
Gu Chen frowned and said: "This is wrong. Life force is of such great benefit to them, how can they be the most annoying?"
Qingfeng said: "Bloodworms will devour vitality and reproduce, but if the vitality is too large, they will be destroyed. They are small in size, but they are very scary when they gather together. A child's body is only that big, and even changes have limits, which determines their The number of children, the vitality of children allows them to multiply and become stronger quickly, and also makes their number more and more. In order to reduce the number, they will devour the same kind, but the vitality in the bodies of the same kind will also be transferred to them. Once an attack occurs, the brain will They become bigger and bigger, and when they reach the limit of reproduction, their hosts explode and they disperse outside the body and die. In other words, their strong vitality is also their weakness."
Things like these have never been seen in the classics that I have read before. This is also because Qingfeng has received the inheritance of the Blue Elf, so he can know these things.
"Furthermore, children who become infant ghosts will first find their own relatives and eat their brains because of the resonance of their blood. It is very cruel."
"So that old man's brain was eaten by the granddaughter he was looking for." Gu Chen suddenly said in a deep voice.
Qingfeng said in a daze: "Grandpa? Granddaughter?"
Gu Chen explained: "The baby ghost you killed had a birthmark on his face. He was the granddaughter of an old man in Qingmu Town. He went crazy trying to find his granddaughter, but his mind was blocked by the one he was looking for. My granddaughter ate it.”
Qingfeng was silent for a while, and said after a while: "If I kill her, I can avenge that grandfather."
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "It's not considered revenge. The person who killed the old grandfather was not his granddaughter."
"Huh?"
Gu Chen looked at Yang Chan and said to himself that although Yang Chan called Master Yunzhi, that life cannot be counted on Yang Chan, not even a little bit.
Gu Chen suddenly found that he had solved many mysteries, such as why all the missing children were children, and why the families of those children were victimized one after another. This was a strange and sad thing. As for the children sleeping on the street, The reason why the attack occurs when being taken away is probably because there is no moonlight in the room. When they realize that no companion has entered the body, they start to occupy the body first. However, Gu Chen is not familiar with the blood filarial worm and does not understand their behavior pattern.
At this time, they noticed that Yang Chan's body was no longer shaking. They looked at each other and thought that Yang Chan felt much better after crying, so they wanted to come forward to comfort her.
But Yang Chan stood up, staggering and staggering towards the woods.
Gu Chen and Qingfeng looked at each other and felt something was wrong. Gu Chen called out "Yang Chan", but Yang Chan seemed not to hear her. Her walking pace did not change, but her speed became faster and faster.
Qingfeng's face suddenly changed and she exclaimed: "No, the bloodworm in her body has started to attack!"
Gu Chen's expression also changed, and he said with panic and anger: "Didn't you say there is no bloodworm here?"
Qingfeng explained: "It was brought in from outside and has never had an attack."
After all, they were all negligent. It's no wonder that the bloodworm on Gu Chen's body disappeared completely after Qingfeng treated him, especially after giving him the Green Talisman. However, Yang Chan actually didn't suffer anything. She was injured and did not need to be treated. Although the two of them were not ordinary people, they were still children after all. They did not think so carefully and would not have caused the accident now just because they thought about nipping the bloodworm in the bud.
Are the pairs of dark eyes that I felt when I first entered the forest the bloodworms in the moonlight?
Gu Chen thought of the abnormality he felt at that time, and couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. If he had reacted earlier, he would not have let anything happen to Yang Chan.
"She's getting faster and faster."
After Qingfeng reminded him, Gu Chen's heart tightened. Yang Chan's movements seemed normal, but his speed was unexpectedly fast. This kind of behavior would put a huge burden on the body. You must know that Yang Chan was just An ordinary person, he looked at Qingfeng pleadingly and said, "Can you save her?"
Qingfeng pondered and said: "In the Qingzhi Forest, there is life force everywhere. Once those blood filarial worms start devouring them, there is no way to stop them. Acting in this place is no different from seeking death. They should have lived for a long time. They were born She has Lingzhi, so she won’t do this. At least for now, she... Yang Chan is still safe."
This kind of security is very unreliable. Once you leave the Green Forest, there is nothing you can do. The direction Yang Chan is going is not in the same direction as the passage they entered the Green Forest. Gu Chen asked: "Where are you going here?"
Qingfeng was naturally familiar with the Green Forest and said: "There is another exit over there that can leave the Green Forest. It is deep in the forest outside the town. It is a dense forest. I have never been there."
So what is Yang Chan going to do there?
Gu Chen was surprised for a while, but saw Qingfeng like a green wind, keeping a distance away from him, and also getting closer to Yang Chan, and caught up with Yang Chan. He was immediately happy, remembering that Qingfeng's speed was far faster than his. Of course, it is not comparable to Yang Chan.
But Yang Chan suddenly grabbed her neck with both hands, strangling her face until her face turned red. The force was so strong that her neck was even slightly deformed.
The expressions of both Gu Chen and Qingfeng changed. Qingfeng couldn't help but take a few steps back. Yang Chan was pleased with himself and distanced himself again, throwing Qingfeng away.
Unexpectedly, those blood filarial worms could control Yang Chan to behave like this. Sure enough, she was born with spiritual intelligence, and she was no longer weak.
Watching Yang Chan walk away, fearing that there would be no hope of rescuing her once she left the Green Forest, Gu Chen suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Give her life!"
Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he understood what Gu Chen meant. He held up a green ball of light with both hands, exuding a strong vitality. He held it hard, and the green ball of light quickly flew away and merged into Yang Chan's head. Inside Yang Chan's body, the injuries on Yang Chan's body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her body was filled with vitality.
Her movements slowed down, and she turned back to glare at Gu Chen and Qingfeng fiercely.
Seeing her like this, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if those blood filarial worms were born with intelligence and knew how to threaten them, they were still simple-minded after all. This kind of intelligence could only be used to seek good luck and avoid disaster, and there was no such thing as ruthlessness. The determination to fear death will stay away as soon as it senses danger. To put it simply, even if Yang Chan is not in Qingzhimen now, it will not attack immediately. I just don’t know how long the vitality given by Qingfeng can last. That is not Qingfeng. The runes will slowly dissipate.
