Floating in the air, escaping like flying, the fear in Shi Xizi's heart became more and more intense. She didn't know who controlled her, nor where she was going. Her hands and feet were stiff, and her body was completely out of control. The power of the netherworld that she had practiced for many years was gradually increasing. The drops were lost, and she could no longer maintain the shape of a beautiful woman, and suddenly appeared in her original form as a "Spider Woman", with four arms and two legs, and a belly as bulging as a spider.

The "Giant's Eye" was far away, and Shi Xizi suddenly woke up. The person who summoned her was none other than Mr. Wei, a demon from the lower world. She felt aggrieved in her heart. After years of hard work collecting mushrooms and sending bags of them into the "Giant's Eye", nothing happened. After hearing the word "good", something went wrong with "Hongluo Guo", so he kicked himself around. Is that the case? Could it be... could there be something fishy in it? An unprecedented fear hit her, she had a splitting headache, and there seemed to be thousands of gongs and drums ringing in her ears.

One moment he was looking at it from a distance, and the next moment he was in it, Shi Xizi fell heavily on the stone wall, dizzy, his organs were upside down, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart, and he had no power to resist. She tried her best to mobilize the power of the netherworld, and only then could she gather a little bit of it. Then the blood disappeared, and Shi Xizi fell into despair and wanted to cry without tears.

I don't know how long it took, but she vaguely noticed something strange. She raised her head with all her strength. Her eyes were covered with a layer of faint blood. A blurry figure stood in front of her and asked: "There was a piece of Bodhi ginseng in the Zhicao sent last time." ', where did it come from?"

Shi Xizi shuddered, and his mind was like a mirror. Sure enough, there was something wrong with that bag of mushrooms. It had nothing to do with "red conch fruit" but "Bodhi ginseng". Fortunately, she was very careful and remembered everything clearly. She looked at everything sent by the "Spider Woman" one by one, put it into the medicine bag with her own hands, and watched her confidants deliver it to the "Giant's Eye". However... However... …She didn’t even remember that the bag of Zhicao was mixed with “Bodhi ginseng”!

Shi Xizi seemed to realize something, his hands and feet were cold, and he said with difficulty: "There is no 'Bodhi ginseng'...'Bodhi ginseng'...I didn't put it in the medicine bag..." Before he finished speaking, the blood in his body surged, and the depths of his mind felt as if it was being filled with blood. A big invisible hand stirred violently, and she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. The dregs of memory resurfaced, and countless broken figures flashed before her eyes. Her soul was torn apart, and before she lost consciousness, she suddenly saw a wrinkled old face.

When he woke up again, Shi Xizi found himself lying in a cold cave, naked and shivering. Guo Zhou and Guo Li looked at him quietly, with disgust mixed with surprise in their eyes. After a moment of silence, Shi Xizi murmured: "This was not my original intention...I was forced by the clan's curse..." She completely remembered that it was Guo Wei, the deputy patrolman of the "Eighteen Pans" hunting ground, who took it. After calling out, he bowed to the ground and paid homage to the elders of the Guo clan. Then, driven by the mantra, he put a piece of "Bodhi ginseng" into the medicine bag and forgot about it. At a quick glance, she only saw a thin old face with deep and shallow wrinkles, like dry earth.

Among the nineteen elders of the Guo clan, there is only one who looks as described by Shi Xizi. That is the great elder Guo Fujia, whose magical power is second only to the clan leader. It is currently unknown whether Elder Fujia broke the Guo clan's convention by reaching a tacit agreement with Elder Baohu in advance, or by simply leaving him aside rudely. However, this news made Guo Zhou feel heartbroken and he did not know what to do. .

There was still a trace of luck in Shi Xizi's heart, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Wei...how to deal with it...I...I..."

Guo Zhou was silent for a moment and said: "That piece of 'Bodhi ginseng' is not born naturally. It has been watered by manpower for hundreds of years. It is extremely poisonous and difficult to detect. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, you have made a big mistake this time. I You can plead in front of Mr. Wei, but you have to give me a reason, a reason that is convincing enough."

A glimmer of hope arose in Shi Xizi's heart. The argument that being subjected to the speech-control curse was not his original intention was obviously unconvincing. What did Mr. Wei who ascended to the upper world want? What can she give? This is the key to begging for life. Shi Xizi thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered something that he had almost forgotten, and blurted out: "I... would like to go to the bottom of the rift valley..."

Guo Zhou glanced at her and nodded slightly. The bottom of the "Great Rift Valley" gradually narrowed and became a well-known death place. Once you fall into it, you will lose all your senses and disappear. For tens of thousands of years, there will be very few survivors. However, according to old legends, several rare treasures can be found at the bottom of the rift valley. People from the upper seven tribes who have made serious mistakes often have a chance to atone for their sins. She was well aware of the power of the clan's curses, and Shi Xizi's sin was not unforgivable. Going to the bottom of the rift valley to hunt for treasure was enough to offset this mistake.

Guo Zhou considered his words and relayed Shi Xizi's meaning tactfully. Wei Shiqi did not comment, but ordered Guo Li to guard her closely and spare her life for the time being. Guo Zhou was a good judge of appearance and color, and she knew what was going on. She told Guo Li a few words, telling her to be careful and not to leave the "Giant's Eye" without Mr. Wei's care. Although Guo Li was a little confused, he still agreed.

Guo Zhou only met Wei Shiqi a few times, but he was deeply impressed by his character and methods. There are so many difficulties between heaven and earth. Most of the people who ascended to the lower realm are arrogant and frustrated frequently. They are also eager to seek shelter and stay together. Sooner or later, the "Eternal Life Village" becomes their only choice. But Wei Shiqi is different. In my eyes, the low-level ghosts are no different from the "Spider Woman" and others. If they are used by me, I will let them go. If they have malicious intentions, I will kill them with ease, just like the master of the spiritual realm, treating everyone equally. Guo Baohu and Tu Chengfeng had experienced hardships one after another. This time it was the turn of the Great Elder Guo Fujia, who was a powerful fighter in the upper realm. How could she care about the safety of little shrimps like them? She was afraid of harming the fish in the pond, so she told Guo Li to do it no matter what. Hiding in the "Eye of the Giant".

The calm before the storm could not last long. On this day, Guo Wei sat astride a four-clawed lizard, hiding among the rocks on the cliff. He cautiously stuck his head out and squinted his eyes to peer into the "Giant's Eye".

When Elder Baohu returned home in defeat, she remained silent and did not dare to show up in front of him. On the pretext of seeking information, she quietly sneaked back to the "Eighteen Pans" hunting ground. She learned that the demons from the lower world had left, most likely to the Tiancheng Stone "Eternal Life Village". ", the hunting ground returned to its former peace. But under the calm, an undercurrent surged. Guo Zhou seemed to have betrayed the Guo clan and reached some kind of agreement with a demon who called himself "Mr. Wei." The orderer Xizi drove the "Spider Girl" to collect longevity-extending mushrooms for her, in order to prevent each other. Disturb each other.

Guo Wei can understand Guo Zhou's difficulties. The demon has vast magical powers and tyrannical methods. Even Elder Baohu can't do anything to him, so what can a mere patrolman do? Being in a different place, she couldn't think of a better way. There was a huge disparity in combat power, and all scheming was out of the question. This was the only way to protect herself and the "Eighteen Pans" hunting ground.

But this was her chance. It had nothing to do with right or wrong, only interests. Guo Wei had been oppressed by Guo Zhou for hundreds of years, and she finally saw hope of turning around. She had already offended her by asking for help from the clan before. Since she had offended, then She would simply offend him to the end. Only by overthrowing Guo Zhou with the help of the elders could she take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it.

It was her deliberate efforts to attract the Great Elder Guo Fujia.
