"Tubai" had a face full of surprise and anger, and roared unwillingly at Li Mu who had taken off his disguise. His extremely distorted expression made people feel disgusted and even faintly nauseated.
"Since you've already been exposed, just take off your skin. Why bother pretending to be an adult anymore?"
Li Mu's voice was cold. In fact, he had already seen through the true identity of suspect Such a disgusting, despicable creature.
"Hiss!"
"Tubai" seemed to have finally accepted the reality. His human face suddenly began to squirm crazily, followed by his neck, chest, and then all over his body.
There seemed to be countless things bulging out under the skin, one after another, one after another. As the two eyeballs were violently squeezed out, the true face of the culprit hiding in the skin was finally revealed.
The black body was covered with numerous wrinkles, with a bit of scarlet on top where the head should be. It twisted left and right, struggled to poke out from the empty eye sockets, and let out bursts of harsh neighing at Li Mu.
Without stopping, more and more strange insects came out of the various holes in "Tubai"'s body. Finally, the skin collapsed because it lost its support, lying softly on the ground, covered in black insects. The group was flooded.
"It's really disgusting, but if so many bugs can act in unison and finally condense into a living human being, there must be a commander behind it, similar to the role of the insect queen in Alien."
Li Mu observed the swarm of insects that were about to move in front of him. It was not difficult to deal with them, but it was not easy to find the leader who controlled these insects to harm people. If the weeds could not be eradicated, it would not be long before the female worms would breed the same insects again. With the large number of bugs, the tragedy on the train will most likely happen again.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
Seeing that the opponent did not move, the black worms couldn't help it anymore. They formed waves on the ground and emitted strange screams, blocking all Li Mu's routes of action.
"Gua Nao, kill half of them first to establish your authority."
A dazzling crimson flame suddenly flashed out in the darkness, and the peerless sword energy emitted scorching heat, turning into a wall of fire and attacking the black worms.
As soon as the Pure Yang Sword Qi emerged, the insects were frightened into panic. The scorching heat could make them feel the despair of death even though they were far away, so they stopped one after another and tried to escape.
But if a monk with infinite cultivation level takes action, the enemy will not be able to escape easily. The wall of flames sweeps across the entire carriage at an extremely fast speed, and everything it passes by is stained with sparks, and those black worms are even more... There is no suspense, they will all be reduced to ashes.
Under Li Mu's exquisite control, there were about a dozen insects "surviving the disaster". They had already been frightened out of their courage, and they didn't care about what they had or didn't have. No order or control could compare to the "survival" of a living body. With the desire, he twisted his fat body and "swimmed" towards the outside of the carriage.
"A bug is still a bug after all. Let these remnants lead me to find the manipulator behind the scenes."
Li Mu stood still, but every worm that fled quickly was stained with a trace of his spiritual power. No matter where they fled, they were nowhere to be found.
"We've passed the dining car and are still going forward. Is the Insect King hiding at the front of the car? There are energy stone formations that provide power for the train. Basically no one would pass by. It is indeed suitable for hiding."
Li Mu's vision followed the panicked black worms passing through the carriages. He could feel the emotions of these worms. It was obvious that the nest was right in front of him. It wouldn't be long before the murder case that happened on the train came to light.
"Huh? What's going on? Why did these bugs explode themselves?"
Seeing that the target was getting closer and closer, one of the worms suddenly stopped and its body began to expand without warning. In just half a breath, it exploded, leaving a pool of viscous black liquid on the ground.
Without waiting for Li Mu to react, the fleeing black worms stopped in place one after another, trembling all over, and finally all walked behind their companions.
Dust and ended his sinful life.
"Hmph, have you really been discovered? You actually wanted to abandon the car to protect the commander, but can you really escape?"
Li Mu's face turned cold. He understood that the mastermind behind the train didn't want the black worm to reveal its location, but the train was only that big. It was obviously too late to escape now.
With one step, the bright pure Yang energy opened the way, and Li Mu came directly to the roof of the car. The strong wind blew up his clothes, but it could not slow down his determination to kill the culprit.
The afterimages intersected with the train at high speed, but in just a moment, the sharp blade of the Meteor Sword had already been swung towards a carriage at the front of the train.
At the same time, a piercing scream suddenly erupted, and the solid roof of the carriage was violently pushed away, revealing a scene that made Li Mu frown.
I saw that the huge and soft black body had filled every corner of the carriage. The numbing wrinkles and the constantly flashing scarlet revealed its identity. It was the oversized black worm king. Read the book
At this moment, this super worm is entangled with the energy stone array. The blue energy is continuously sucked by it, and finally fills every corner of the body. The scarlet head becomes even more terrifying, and it spurts out towards Li Mu. A trail of black juice.
"The beast is devouring the energy of the magic circle. No wonder Xie An said that the train often slows down for no reason. It must be this guy."
"The power of the energy stone is so pure and huge. This bug alone cannot completely absorb and transform it, so it focuses on human blood to neutralize the violent energy in the body."
Just by looking at it, Li Mu analyzed the whole story. He originally thought that there might be someone with ulterior motives behind the case, or even a force like the "Blood" organization at work.
But now it seems that such a mutated bug is in control of the situation, using human blood to accelerate the erosion of energy stones, and finally satisfy the need for "growth".
With a sword to block the juice shot by the Worm King, Li Mu no longer stayed, his feet violently exerted force in the void, and the Star Meteor Sword pierced out directly.
"The Nine Swords of Suzaku, the blazing flames set the prairie ablaze."
The raging fire was like a rushing river, directly surrounding the Worm King. The terrifying high temperature instantly broke through the defense of the black skin, and the huge body was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"hiss!"
With a last cry full of unwillingness, the strange insect that had killed two people finally turned into ashes. Under the afterglow of the setting sun on the plain, it dissipated into the world with its sins.
"Huh? What is this?"
The Worm King no longer existed, but a glimmer of crystal light in the carriage attracted Li Mu's attention. Walking forward, he discovered that it was a beautiful and exquisite gemstone ring.
"Mo? Jin? Could it be that Brother Mo gave it to Jin Fenghua? It was brought here accidentally by those insects."
Li Mu looked at the Juanxiu calligraphy engraved on the back of the ring, and then carefully put it away. Although Mo Shang and Jin Fenghua had a bad relationship, after all, this was a relic of the deceased and should be returned to the original owner.
When he stood up, he suddenly discovered that there was a faint shimmer on the horizon in the distance. As the morning sun gradually rose, the unique golden color of dawn bathed the speeding train, making it shine.
