Zhu Xiucai stared at the villagers with his eyes widened.
Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was quite far, and Zhu Xiucai did not have Qin Shaoyou's eyesight. He could only barely see the appearance of the villagers, and could not see anything in them that should surprise Qin Shaoyou.
"I can't tell what it is. Maybe it's a method used by the zombie demon to control these villagers. I'll capture a person and show it to you, and try to find a way to rescue these villagers."
Qin Shao lobbied and released [Ghost Binding] towards a villager in the distance.
Originally, this talent could only be used to bind ghosts and lock demons, but after Qin Shaoyou entered the realm of the sixth-level martial artist and mastered the ability to release blood energy, its role also changed.
The current [Ghost Binding] talent is more like an expander of blood energy.
It not only increases the distance and power of the blood energy release, but can also be used on living people who are not demons and ghosts.
As Qin Shaoyou used [Ghost Binding], an invisible stream of blood flew out, entangled a villager with lightning speed, and pulled him directly in front of Qin Shaoyou.
The whole process happened very quickly. Even when the villager was pulled in front of Qin Shaoyou, he still didn't react.
He first met Qin Shaoyou's eyes, and then looked around.
Even if he loses consciousness, people can still feel his confusion and confusion at the moment.
But the villager's eyes soon fell back on Qin Shaoyou.
The bloodshot eyes in his eyes suddenly turned violent, and he roared like a beast in his throat, struggling to bite Qin Shaoyou.
It's a pity that he was tightly bound by the blood energy and couldn't move at all, let alone bite Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou didn't waste time and turned him around directly, laying him down on the horse.
In order to prevent the villager from biting the horse, Qin Shaoyou also removed his mandibular joint, so that he could not open and close his mouth freely and could only scream "Aba Aba".
Monk Ma, Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxian and others on the side all looked over to take a look.
I saw something as big as a fist that looked like a sarcoma on the villager's vest.
Ugly and penetrating.
In this sarcoma, strips of things similar to blood vessels sprouted and penetrated into the villagers' bodies.
Because these blood vessels exhibit a strange translucent state, everyone can clearly see their purpose.
There are two main functions.
One is to suck blood from the villagers' bodies and deliver it to the sarcoma.
The other method is to exchange streams of viscous, pus-like yellow water from the sarcoma to the villagers.
Even if everyone is used to seeing monsters and monsters, seeing such a weird and ugly sarcoma can't help but feel a little creepy and their scalps will go numb.
They didn't know what it was, and they all talked about it:
"What is this thing on this person's back?"
"Is it a tumor? Or a parasite produced by some evil method?"
"Could it be that this evil tumor controlled the villagers' consciousness and turned them into walking zombies?"
But Cui Youyou recognized this thing, and rarely pretended to be pretentious.
He frowned and said solemnly: "This is the Three Corpse Insect Gu."
"Three Corpse Insect Gu?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Zhu Xiucai looked even more suspicious: "Old Taoist, don't try to fool me. I have read some Taoist scriptures. Aren't the Three Corpse Insects three kinds of evil desires in humans? How can they turn into sarcoma?"
"This is the Three Corpse Worm Gu, not the Three Corpse Worm. It is a kind of Gu created by corpse keepers using evil methods. It can control the minds of living people, causing people to be affected by corpse energy and corpse poison while they are still alive.
Corrosion, when the time comes, a living person will immediately turn into a zombie as soon as he dies suddenly."
When Cui Yougui said this, he also pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and plunged it into the sarcoma with a 'pop' sound.
Suddenly, a stream of foul-smelling blood flowed out, which was not only pungent but also irritating to the eyes. The smell was like blood that had been rotting for many days.
Even the night watchmen couldn't stand the smell, and they all held their breath and leaned back.
Cui Youyou didn't seem to hear it.
He quickly cut open the sarcoma.
There was a strange spider-like insect hidden inside the sarcoma, its body was red and fleshy with blood.
"Is this the Three Corpse Insect Gu?"
As soon as Qin Shaoyou's words came out, the Three Corpse Insect Gu in the sarcoma immediately spurted out several bloody threads and went straight to Cui Youyou and Qin Shaoyou who were nearest.
Cui Youyou snorted softly, opened his mouth and spit out a breath of spiritual energy. The bloody filaments that hit him were immediately enveloped in flames and burned to ashes in an instant.
Qin Shaoyou also used his blood energy to block the blood-colored threads attacking him.
The Three Corpse Insect Gu failed in one attack and actually opened two pairs of wings from under its belly in an attempt to escape and fly away.
Cui Youyi turned the dagger in his hand and was about to stab the three corpses that were escaping.
But someone is faster than him.
While Qin Shaoyou used his blood energy to block the bloody filaments of the Three Corpse Insect Gu, he used his energy to control the nail and shot an iron nail hidden in his sleeve as a hidden weapon at the Three Corpse Insect Gu.
With a "poof" sound, the three corpse insect Gu was directly pierced by the iron nail, and a piece of foul-smelling yellow water burst out.
It has to be said that Qin Shaoyou's ability to steal people's heads is already very good and has reached the level of a master.
Zhu Xiucai no longer questioned Cui Yougui.
He looked at the killed three corpse insect Gu and said in confusion: "Why didn't we find that they were parasitized by three corpse insect Gu when we passed by this village during the day? These evil things can't be new tonight.
Parasitic, right?”
After checking the injuries on the villager's back, Cui Yougui said: "Judging from the condition of this villager, they must have been parasitized by the Three Corpse Insect Gu for some time."
Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered something: "Do you still remember the news that Liao Yaosuo asked before? He said that people from the surrounding villages and towns would go to the Dragon King Temple to worship and ask for water, and they could indeed ask for water, but the water tasted a bit like drinking.
There's a weird smell...could it be that there are three corpse insect poisons in the water?"
"Probably!"
Cui Yougui said: "Three Corpse Insect Gu are very weird. As long as the person casting the Gu does not activate them, they will not control the host's consciousness. They will only parasitize in the host's body and poison the host bit by bit. In the process
, they will also make themselves integrated with the host, so it is difficult to be discovered. Although the host is not consciously controlled, it will also be affected and will actively cover up the sarcoma to prevent others from seeing it..."
"No wonder we didn't notice it before."
Zhu Xiucai suddenly realized.
Then he raised his head again and looked at the group of corpses surrounding them and the villagers controlled by the Three Corpse Insect Gu, with a solemn look on his face.
