The underground passage in Xu's house is not spacious and can only accommodate one person.
Because he had used his spiritual sense to explore before, Ye Xiao arrived at the destination with almost no pause.
It was a rather large space in the passage. It was no longer illuminated by oil lamps, but by stones that emitted light, illuminating the stone chamber like daylight.
"...."
Ye Xiao's figure stopped at the door of the stone chamber and looked at the corpse sitting in the center of the stone chamber.
It was a corpse that had lost all moisture and looked like a mummy. Judging from the look on the other person's face, it seemed that he had suffered something very frightening before he died.
And the source of the fear is now reflected in front of Ye Xiao's eyes.
"It's a centipede."
Ye Xiao looked at the neck of the corpse. At this moment, there was a big hole there, and in the hole, a huge centipede head came out of the body.
At this time, the centipede also had no signs of life, but from its appearance, it can be seen that the centipede wanted to escape from the lifeless body, but eventually died together with the body.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but think of the insect eggs in the simulated soul in his sleeve. This was also the reason why he came here directly after using his spiritual consciousness to detect the situation in this stone room.
"If the insect lodged in the body of the former head of the Xu family as an egg, it would have grown into an adult insect at this moment. Why did it die under the ground with the other person?"
And according to Hua Ling, this kind of insect will give the host a very powerful help at first, making the host's cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, but when it reaches a certain point, it will backfire on the host, plunder all the host's cultivation level and strengthen itself.
Judging from its current appearance, this centipede must have reached the stage of being born. How come it ended up dying underground together with its host?
"...."
Ye Xiao stared closely at the two corpses in front of him, one person and one centipede. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the long sword from the storage bag that could resist his three-point Yuanling Technique.
With the long sword in his hand, Ye Xiao swung it directly towards the corpse in front of him without any hesitation. The sharp blade, with the blessing of vitality, directly emitted the sword energy from a long distance. In a few strokes, the clothes on the chest of the former head of the Xu family were torn to pieces.
.
As the clothes were shattered, the scene of hideous wounds and the strange centipede body emerging from the body was very intuitively presented to Ye Xian's eyes.
I saw that the terrifying centipede not only got its head out of the neck of the former head of the Xu family, but its abdomen and dantian were also messed up. Its tail even came out directly from the dantian, as if it wanted to desperately escape from this place.
physical appearance.
Disgusting, scary, weird!
For a moment, various thoughts appeared in Ye Xiao's mind, but more questions appeared.
"Is it possible that the former head of the Xu family knew that he was possessed by an insect, so he wanted to get rid of the insect under the pretext of retreat?" Ye Xiao came up with the most likely answer from among the many answers.
Otherwise, it is unclear why one person and one insect would die here in such a tangled position.
The answer to this puzzle is currently unknown, but at this moment Ye Xiao noticed a dusty storage bag placed next to the body.
What message should there be in this?
Thinking like this, Ye Xiao held a long sword and was about to grab it.
hiss!
"!"
A strange sound suddenly appeared in the stone chamber. The stone chamber was almost silent at this time, so this very harsh sound immediately made Ye Xiao alert.
The next second, the tail of the centipede corpse that was supposed to be dry exploded, and a thick purple mist immediately filled the entire stone chamber.
"not dead?"
Ye Xiao paid no attention to Centipede. While alert, he picked up the storage bag with the tip of his long sword and took it directly into his hand.
Just when Ye Xiao held the storage bag in his hand and wanted to go back the way he came, the mouth of the withered corpse of the former head of the Xu family grew!
I saw a black shadow shooting out from the dark mouth, very fast, almost like black lightning, rushing towards Ye Xiao!
The sound just now should have been made by this thing!
If it were a normal monk, he would feel relaxed after getting the intended target. Even just a little bit of it would be a matter of life and death in the current situation.
In particular, the explosion at the centipede's tail located at the Dantian directly attracts the target's attention, but the actual attack is located in the mouth of the head.
But who is Ye Xiao! He has a natural PTSD condition for such tunnels and corpses.
So even if it is confirmed that the previous head of the Xu family is dead and the centipede among them is dead, he will never relax a little.
Especially when the centipede's body exploded inexplicably just now!
Regarding this extremely fast black shadow, Ye Xiao directly raised his left hand to grab it and at the same time used the three-point Yuanling Technique.
"squeak!"
A strange scream came from Ye Xiao's hand, and when he took a closer look, he saw it was a very small centipede.
The Forbidden City was quickly decomposed into the purest power under the absorption of three-point Yuanling Technique, leaving the entire centipede with no room for resistance.
"Very weak."
Ye Xiao threw the dead small centipede on the ground of the stone room and stepped back.
Although judging from the current situation, the purple smoke in the stone chamber is just a cover up for the small centipede, but now that the important things have been obtained, there is no point in staying here.
Although Ye Xiao was also interested in studying the corpses of the former head of the Xu family and the corpse of the centipede, and where the end of the passage led to was also quite fascinating, Ye Xiao understood that eating too much would make him full, so he went back the same way.
, returned to the courtyard outside.
As soon as he walked out of the entrance of the underground passage, a beautiful figure immediately entered Ye Xiao's eyes.
Cui Jue was seen holding a knife in one hand and holding Xu Jie's trouser leg with the other, waiting for Ye Xiao outside. At this moment, Xu Jie's legs had been chopped to pieces. His eyes were wide open and his face was lifeless with fear.
So cruel!
It seems that this is all the fear of himself and the unfortunate fate that may be suffered in the future attributed to Xu Jie, thus venting his resentment to him.
Cui Jue, who looked dull and had never tortured anyone before, reacted instantly when he saw Ye Xiao, and his whole body suddenly changed back to the trembling deer look.
She dropped the knife in her hand and Xu Jie's body behind her, and said to Ye Xiao in horror: "Senior, my father asked me to wait for you here."
"You did a good job, I can trust you Cui family now." Ye Xiao said lightly.
In fact, the moment Cui Zhengwan came to the Xu family, their entire family had been tied to the chariot by Ye Xiao.
Cui Jue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Ye Xiao said. She was really afraid that what she did would dissatisfy the other party. Then it would be either her or the entire Cui family who would be unlucky.
"The passage in the rockery behind me is blocked and no one is allowed to enter." Ye Xiao pointed to the underground passage behind him and ordered Cui Jue.
Although the little centipede that shot out from the mouth of the former head of the Xu family had definitely been crushed to death by him, Ye Xiao always felt that there was no way he could use the insect's tenacious vitality to find a way out.
Anyway, wait until he sees this storage bag before making a decision.
After giving instructions to Cui Jue, Ye Xiao went directly to the house of the former head of the Xu family. When the door was closed by Ye Xiao from the inside, he couldn't wait to open the storage bag in his hand.
The owner of the storage bag has been dead for who knows how long, so the seal inside has long since disappeared.
There were very few things inside, and you could get an overview at a glance, but Ye Xiao's eyes were fixed on one thing.
It was a jade slip that seemed to have been bitten by some small animal.
Holding the jade slip in his hand, Ye Xiao looked at it awkwardly.
“Did you get bitten by a centipede?”
Ye Xiao is not sure either.
Although I don't know if the jade slip with one corner damaged can still be used, but now this is the only clue left.
Ye Xiaodang was about to wrap the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness and start trying to read the message in it.
(Finally the 100th chapter, I congratulate myself.)
