You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Chapter 217: The Road-Eating Lice

The poetry is faint and keeps echoing in the sky.

Influenced by the poem, more and more people’s hearts were damaged. Some people began to have dead energy in their bodies and even began to lose their Taoism! !

Even a disciple from a first-rank sect could not resist the temptation of poetry and joined the ranks of the scattered Taoists, but the sect's treasures on his body flashed brightly, forcing him to regain consciousness.

There were also many strong-willed people who forcibly broke away from the influence of the poetry, noticed something strange on their faces, touched the corners of their eyes, and had no memory of what had just happened. They didn't know why they were sad or why they were in pain.

The body of the scattered Taoist turned into points of light along with the spiritual power and merged into the sky of Yingxu, leaving nothing behind.

The people who woke up looked around in a daze. There was no trace of the blood river. The scattered light that lit up from time to time startled everyone and made them stay away.

Everyone seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened, and were looking at this huge scattered path in confusion.

"What...what's going on?"

"what happened?"

"This place is full of monsters, retreat quickly!!"

Some people began to retreat and moved away, while others looked at the disappeared blood-red tornado with flickering eyes.

"Where there is great crisis, there must be great opportunities. Let's fight!" Many people from the first-class sects flew towards the cracks that appeared on the ground.

People are always insatiable. If there is a first one, there will naturally be a second one. If there are two, there will naturally be a fourth one. Seeing people from the first-grade sects going in one after another, the disciples from the second- and third-grade forces are also eager to try.

"You want to live!" A disciple stopped his fellow disciple and shouted.

"Those first-class sects have gone in first, we can just pick up the leaks from behind, maybe we can actually pick up some treasures!"

There were obviously quite a few people who held this kind of fluke mentality. Those who had wanted to leave just now stopped and were somewhat hesitant.

These people hesitated for a moment and then immediately followed.

Hundreds of feet underground, Changqing and the woman in purple were wandering around in the passage.

The sticky and smelly blood under her feet made the woman frown from time to time, feeling a little disgusted.

After searching for half an hour without any results, the two of them were a little discouraged.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard from deep in the passage.

The two were shocked and looked at each other, seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the two men were ready for battle.

Many light blue dots lit up and surrounded the two people.

When they got closer, they finally saw who was coming, but their scalps were tingling.

I saw that the four walls in front of me were covered with dense insects.

The bodies of these insects are relatively flat, with barbs on the blue carapace on their backs, a long streamlined shape, an arched ventral surface, and heads retracted into the carapace. They have short and sharp mouthparts and no eyes, and blue wings hidden under the carapace that flap from time to time.

Although Changqing had read many books, he had never seen this kind of insect.

Seeing the insects coming in full force, Changqing took out a jade bottle and threw it towards the swarm of insects.

"No, these are louse-eating lice!" It was too late for the woman to speak, as the jade bottle had already fallen into the swarm of insects.

An explosion sounded, and a blank area was blasted out in the middle of the insect swarm.

Before Changqing could breathe a sigh of relief, the insects that were hit by the explosion stood up staggeringly, and they didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

The purple-clothed woman's voice sounded: "It's useless! The surface of the Dao-devouring lice is extremely hard, and this explosion will not have any effect. These bugs are very difficult to deal with even for the strong ones in the Kaihua realm, let alone us!"

As if to confirm what the purple-clothed woman said, these blue bugs began to buzz loudly, and many lice flapped their wings and flew up.

Changqing also thought to himself, "Oh no!" It seemed that he had indeed annoyed these bugs.

"Run!" The woman didn't care about her manners anymore and started to flee in a panic. The long purple ribbon rolled up Evergreen and quickly went away into the passage.

But these channel lice were also extremely fast, and the darkness in the passage did not seem to affect them. Moreover, they seemed to be fighting at home, and were extremely familiar with the environment, chasing relentlessly.

Listening to the occasional buzzing sound from behind, Chang Qing asked, "What on earth is this Dao-eating louse? Why is it so difficult to deal with?"

"Nonsense! These bugs are mutated from corpse-eating lice that devoured the corpses of powerful people above the Kaihua realm. Their bodies are full of traces of Taoism, and they bite very hard. It is no problem for them to bite through magic weapons and treasures. In addition, they are difficult to kill, which is enough to make them invincible."

The purple-clothed woman rolled her eyes and said

"There are only a few places in the world where these bugs can be found. Every time they are discovered, they are snatched away by all the major forces to cultivate. If they are cultivated well, they can become a powerful weapon!"

"Only one or two of these bugs appear each time. Who would have thought there would be so many here? The most important thing is why did you mess with them? Now you are being chased and bitten by them. You are happy now, right?"

The woman, regardless of her ladylike image, started swearing.

Changqing coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

The woman added: "No wonder there isn't a single corpse ghost in such a large passage. It looks like they were all eaten!"

Chang Qing nodded, understanding the horror of the Dao-devouring Lice, but thought in his heart: "This is a powerful weapon that can be used against Kaihua Realm cultivators! If we can catch it..."

Changqing shook his head again. This was indeed difficult, mainly because there was nothing that could trap them. After all, those treasures were just snacks in front of these insects.

The situation was critical at the moment, and Chang Qing suddenly thought: "These bugs are also considered a kind of demon race. I wonder if my blood can lure them away."

Chang Qing did what he said. He cut his fingertips when the woman wasn't paying attention, and several drops of blood spurted out onto the inner wall of the passage.

The lice suddenly stopped and gathered around the stone as if they had smelled something good.

This method was indeed effective, as if confirming the title of Evergreen Human-shaped Precious Medicine.

The woman in purple was confused when she saw that most of the insects were gone, and she didn't know what had happened.

But the insect stopped chasing her, so the woman didn't care and ran away quickly.

They ran for another half a minute before they stopped. Both of them who had escaped death were gasping for breath.

"Huh~ I thought I'd die here." The woman took a deep breath of the fishy air. After surviving, she actually felt that the air here smelled better.

A strange look flashed across Changqing's face, but he quickly pretended nothing had happened and looked around.

Just now, Changqing's heart twitched suddenly, and the drop of blood that had remained in his heart kept circling around in his body, as if it sensed some familiar breath.

The woman next to him looked at Changqing twice more. She didn't believe that the louse could dodge so easily. So there was only one possibility, that Changqing had done something.

Seeing that Changqing didn't say anything, the woman didn't ask. Even if she asked, Changqing would say he didn't know.

Following the guidance of the blood, Changqing constantly corrected the two's path forward, and finally by chance they arrived at the area pointed out by the blood.

When the blood calmed down, Changqing knew they had arrived and looked up.

They saw a black stone wall blocking their way. The woman's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "This is it. The jade slip also mentioned a black stone wall."

After saying that, he took out a purple talisman and slapped it on the wall, and a circle of ripples immediately appeared on the wall.
