Li Langzhong never thought of engaging in a life-and-death fight with You Ziji. He was not ready yet, so he would fight if he took advantage, and withdraw first if he suffered a loss.
The explosive growth of Gu worms was just a means for him to cover his retreat.
The Gu worms all over the world are like a sandstorm covering the sky. This storm formed by the worms will swallow Wanderer Ji whole and take away his life. After that, a terrifying and huge insect plague will sweep through the densely populated area, looking for blood food to feed itself, and Zijun City will become the only suitable target.
The insect plague will not rage for long. Even if the monks from Tianfu Temple do not come out in time to solve the disaster, the poisonous insects that are spawned will not survive for too long. But precisely because of this, the Gu insects' desire for survival will drive them completely crazy, and Zijun City will inevitably experience a bloody storm.
Even Li Langzhong himself could not prevent the insect disaster from happening at this moment. He could only rely on his understanding of Gu insects to avoid the disaster in advance.
He thought that You Ziji would make the same choice. How could anyone not care about his own life?
On the way to escape, Li Langzhong turned to look at You Ziji. He wanted to see You Ziji panicked and regretful, but nothing he expected happened. You Ziji still stood quietly where he was. .
Li Langzhong did not feel any pleasure from the already mortal You Ziji.
You Ziji didn't have much idea of the harm caused by insect plagues, but he knew how difficult these poisonous insects were.
Chang Yunbai once told him about the method of making Gu worms, which required putting various poisonous insects into a small space to kill each other, and the one that survived was the Gu worm. After feeding with poison, cultivating and selecting, we can create offspring of Gu worms that can reproduce stably, and then we can continue to produce Gu worms.
Even if you think about it, these Gu insects that evolved by relying on killing poisons would hide in the forest and spend the rest of their lives quietly.
You Ziji wants to eradicate them.
The power bonus of the fighting spirit has given him enough energy to deal with the insect plague in front of him. Although he cannot use the Samadhi True Fire, there are ordinary flames nearby that can also be used.
His "fire" spell itself is a fire control method obtained from the master of the weapon refiner by the senior monster. After his improvement, not only can he control the Samadhi True Fire, but also most flames. I saw him making secrets with one hand, and the power of fighting spirit flowed through the meridians and merged with his true energy. The power of the fire spell to control the flames instantly exceeded before. You Ziji could clearly feel all the flames around the house with the spell. , and they are all under the control of You Ziji.
You Ziji has a feeling that with the blessing of fighting spirit, he can control as many flames as his consciousness can perceive.
I saw him waving his hands, and all the nearby flames made waves. The slender lines of fire solidified and turned into pillars of fire like pythons. They meandered and gathered three feet in front of You Ziji's chest, and hugged him in his arms. .
But how big are You Ziji's arms? These flames are somewhat difficult to control after only a part of them are compressed. With You Ziji's current strength, they can no longer be compressed.
You Ziji looked up and saw that the swarm of Gu insects continued to attack You Ziji regardless of the raging fire. There was no need to aim at the overwhelming Gu insects. You Ziji threw the compressed flame energy in his hand.
As soon as the flame left You Ziji's hands, it exploded.
Although the flame was ordinary fire, after being compressed by You Ziji, the abundant heat in it was enough to burn out the Gu insects. You Ziji has fire magic to protect himself, so he will be fine. The Gu insect was unconscious and faced the confrontation.
There were various "cracking" sounds around the explosion, which was the sound of Gu insects being cooked and exploded by the flames. The Gu insects in the center of the explosion were instantly reduced to ashes. This power made Youziji tremble.
This blow created a hole in the center of the Gu insect swarm and wiped out most of it. The other Gu insects on the edge were forced to scatter and avoid by the scorching flames.
You Ziji didn't want to let these Gu insects harm others, so he controlled the flames again and gathered all the remaining flames together. This time there was no compression, and control was much easier.
The entire sea of fire turned into a dragnet, catching all the Gu insects that had escaped nearby, forming a whirlwind of flames that enveloped the Gu insects and burned them slowly. By the time the firepower was exhausted, the group of Gu insects had been almost wiped out.
After dealing with the poisonous insects, You Ziji sniffed the air carefully, locked the direction in which Li Langzhong was escaping, and chased after him using his ugly body skills. Li Langzhong is very capable and has endless tricks, which are very troublesome to deal with. You Ziji wants to deal with him once and for all this time.
…
But he said that Hao Laodao was running away with Zhou Qing and Xiao Huang, and there were purple Gu insects chasing behind him. He didn't dare to be careless, and threw thunder talismans to fight back while running, and he had already deviated from the original route.
After all the chasing Gu insects were dealt with, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out two Earth Escape Talismans and handed them to Xiao Huang.
"Go quickly and find the path we came from. There is an escape talisman I set there."
Xiao Huang was attacked by Gu insects and lost some hair. He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left without making any jokes.
Hao Laodao turned to Zhou Qing and said, "Niece Qing'er, did you get any useful information from Mr. Li?"
Zhou Qing thought about it carefully and said, "They didn't say anything important in front of me. But I saw a monk who was carrying a copper coffin. He seemed to have a very high status. Dr. Li called him Mr. Hong and respected him very much. .”
"It turns out that he is Mr. Hong." When Hao Laodao was deceived into joining the gang of bandits, he had heard of Mr. Hong's name. He was almost the person in charge of recruiting monks outside the city, which made him pay more attention to it, and even thought of sending him a gift. Some rare treasures, good positions. I didn't expect to have a direct fight with him now.
Hao Laodao knew that he was not out of danger yet and had no time to lament the impermanence of life. He restrained his emotions and said to Zhou Qing: "The speed now is too slow. I will carry you on my back later. You must hurry up. If you are trapped in It will be troublesome if you fall into the mud, and I may not be able to rescue you in time."
How could someone touch the dirt while being carried on his back? Zhou Qing didn't understand what Hao Laodao meant by being trapped in the mud. She always respected her elders, so she didn't ask any questions. And now that we are on the run, it is always right to listen to Hao Laodao's words.
Xiao Huang jumped in the woods, turned over and returned to Hao Laodao.
"I found the location of the talisman." Xiao Huang raised his paw, with only one earth escape talisman left.
Hao Laodao took the talisman, carried Zhou Qing on his back, and said, "Hold on."
Xiao Huang also climbed onto Hao Laodao's body. It climbed into Hao Laodao's arms with ease and clung to the Taoist robe.
The talisman paper in Hao Laodao's hand ignited without fire and turned into ashes in an instant. Before the ashes fell to the ground, Hao Laodao had already led Zhou Qing and Xiaohuang into the ground. The strong resistance almost kept Zhou Qing in place, but fortunately she held on tightly with her arms and was fine.
The feeling underground is not very comfortable. The air here is stuffy, and for ordinary people, it is impossible to breathe.
Therefore, for the sake of Zhou Qing's life, Hao Laodao had to return to the ground to breathe air every time he dived for a period of time.
This solved Zhou Qing's breathing problem, but Hao Laodao's years of experience and ability in traveling underground could not prevent Zhou Qing from feeling uncomfortable.
Even if the speed of escaping from the ground was controlled just right by Hao Laodao, every time he switched from soil to air, the sensory pressure in the two spaces was completely different. Zhou Qing's stomach was churning, and he could only resist on his own.
Hao Laodao separated the road in the mud to avoid rocks and tree roots. It was not until the escape talisman preset by Xiao Huang appeared that the stealth was considered to be the end.
Hao Laodao and Xiao Huang greedily sucked in the fresh air. Even if a practitioner is in a closed environment, it is difficult to persist for a long time. Therefore, they did not force Zhou Qing to continue the next round of escape, but gave her more rest. For a while.
If you want to return to the city, you need to escape twice. One of them was the talisman left by Hao Laodao. With his strength, the distance could only span two or three miles.
The other is a talisman drawn by You Ziji. It's just that You Ziji still doesn't have the ability to draw the best earth escape talisman on paper, so he can only draw one on the spot in the open space next to the road where he came from, and the end point is at the county magistrate's mansion.
After going through some tossing again, I finally arrived at the place where You Ziji drew the Earth Escape Talisman.
Hao Laodao and Xiao Huang went to look for the specific location, while Zhou Qing was so sick that she couldn't stand it anymore and hid in the grass nearby and vomited out her bile.
In order not to be discovered, the open space beside the road was covered with dead branches and leaves. Hao Laodao spent a lot of time and turned out the talisman while ensuring that it was not affected.
Zhou Qing looked ugly, but her expression was determined. This was the last journey.
The birds sleeping soundly at night had long since made no sound. Hao Laodao and his party also deliberately reduced their influence on the surroundings, but at this time, a sudden change occurred.
The creatures in the deep forest, not just the birds, all became panicked in an instant. Looking from a distance, it could be seen that the birds fluttered their wings and fled in all directions, as if they were affected by some terrifying creature. Even Hao Laodao felt this powerful aura.
This is a powerful monk, and he does not shy away from exuding his pressure, which proves that he is very anxious to go somewhere at this time.
"They are here to find us!" Hao Laodao came to the conclusion in an instant. Only what he and You Ziji did in the middle of the night could attract such powerful monks.
Hao Laodao was sweating coldly. He did not dare to hesitate and instantly activated the Earth Escape Talisman to escape from this place.
Thanks to his rich experience in escaping, he left just before the master arrived.
The master fell on the position where Hao Laodao had just been. He was a little confused. He looked at the messy strokes that had lost their spiritual power and guessed that it might be some kind of long-distance displacement magic circle. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Li Langzhong has already died?
