"I call the low-level blood-sucking worms produced by the mother of blood-sucking worms called worms. The blood-sucking worms that attack humans and then use human blood to spawn are called shadow worms. These shadow worms and worms look similar, and even their strengths are almost the same. However, the body of the shadow worm lacks a substance unique to the sporozoite. Without this substance, the shadow worm will die in less than three days after it is separated from the sporozoite."
Lin Xiaotian pondered for a while: "You mean, those worms use this substance to control shadow worms."
"That's right." Xu Zirong nodded, "The blood-sucking worms attack the sky every time, and once the cultivator is killed by them, those worms can spawn a large number of shadow worms on the cultivator's corpse in a very short period of time. "
"That is to say... We should try to kill worms, not shadow worms?" Lin Xiaotian quickly grasped the main point of Xu Zirong's words.
"Yes, because shadow worms are spawned by daughter worms, but daughter worms are produced by mother worms. No matter how many shadow worms are killed, as long as the daughter worms that spawned them are still there, then the production can continue. But once the worms are killed, the shadow worms he spawns will die within three days no matter where they are."
"What does this have to do with Bai Hua's ambition?" Lin Xiaotian asked suddenly.
Xu Zirong twitched the corners of his mouth: "You should know what kind of exercises I practice."
Lin Xiaotian was silent. As early as when he was fighting the tower, he noticed the specialness of Xu Zirong's practice, but for various reasons, he chose not to go into it. After returning to Xuan Yuyu, he flipped through many books and quickly found the name of the exercise, but because Xu Zirong didn't appear to be crazy, he didn't plan to break it down.
Lin Xiaotian nodded silently. The Heart Sutra of the Sea of Blood is known for its fierce reputation in the Xuanyu Domain. As a disciple of the Tianyu Sect of the Zhengdao Sect, if he is known to be involved with the practitioners of the Heart Sutra of the Sea of Blood, he will be treated as well. very bad.
"It's good to know." Xu Zirong didn't care. "Since the blood-sucking worm appeared, I felt that the Blood Sea Heart Meridian in my body seemed to react. I suspect that this Blood Sea Heart Meridian exercise might be originated from this blood-sucking worm."
It was the first time Xu Ziyan heard these words, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Actually, none of these matters, the important thing is that Baihua once contributed a large amount of high-grade spirit tea to the Xuanjia Sect, and I don't know why it is so coincidental. This kind of spirit tea can slowly change the body of the monks and make their physique It is more suitable for cultivating the Heart Sutra of the Sea of Blood.”
Lin Xiaotian's eyebrows became more and more wrinkled.
Xu Zirong glanced at him lightly: "This so-called modification of physique is actually adding a substance that can be friendly to blood in the body of a cultivator, and this substance is very coincidental, similar to the thing carried by the blood-sucking worm. ."
"What's the use of that?" Lin Xiaotian still didn't understand.
Xu Zirong smiled: "Although the shadow worm was spawned, it also wants to obtain that unique substance. Among the blood-sucking worms, the more that substance is possessed, the closer they are to the mother worm."
"According to what you said, aren't those whose physiques have been changed easily attacked by blood-sucking worms?" Lin Xiaotian wondered. "But those eight people are still alive so far, and they even often go out to perform missions. Their cultivation base is not high, and if they are besieged by blood-sucking worms, they will definitely not survive."
"What if... these people take the initiative to use their bodies as a weapon to attract shadow worms, so as to—turn themselves into worms?"
As soon as Xu Zirong said these words, Lin Xiaotian and Xu Ziyan gasped at the same time.
According to Xu Zirong, worms have that substance, but shadowworms do not. But shadow worms need this kind of thing to maintain their lives, so once a blood-sucking swarm of worms dies, and a human monk with this substance suddenly appears at this time, then it is really possible to control those shadows. insect.
After all, this shadow worm has almost no intelligence, and will only obey the orders of the worm that emits this substance. Once the worm dies, if the shadow worm does not want to die, it must find a new source of material, and this time is the best chance for those who possess this material.
"But won't this kind of vision attract the attention of others? Now the entire Profound Armor Sect is drinking this kind of spiritual tea, and so many people come and go every day to fight blood-sucking worms, so no one else has noticed this situation. ?" Lin Xiaotian still felt that some things didn't make sense.
Xu Zirong shook his head: "That kind of spirit tea is very slow to change human physique, and besides being able to control shadow worms, what I'm more worried about is..."
"What is it?" Xu Ziyan couldn't help asking.
Xu Zirong glanced at his brother and took a deep breath: "This altered physique is very attractive to all blood-sucking worms. According to the recent battle report, there is a similar 'commander' in that blood-sucking clan. It means that some bugs have already begun to have IQ. For such bugs, those whose physiques have been changed are the best objects to possess. I believe that since blood-sucking bugs can evolve 'Commander', then 'spy' can also evolve."
This time the deduction made both Xu Ziyan and Lin Xiaotian's expressions change abruptly, and the two of them looked at each other without concealing the panic in their eyes.
They are not worried that the number of blood-sucking worms will increase, because even if there are more, there will always be a day when they will be killed, but once the blood-sucking worms can successfully lurk into the human body, it will be a big trouble.
The endless infighting will involve the energy of a large number of personnel, and everyone will worry about whether their comrades beside them will be possessed by blood-sucking worms.
Without a stable rear, how can people be assured of fighting? No matter when, the most chilling thing is always the knife stabbed in the back.
"No! I have to report this matter immediately." Lin Xiaotian stood up abruptly and said.
Xu Zirong said calmly, "All of these are my inferences, and my research can't be proven immediately. How are you going to report this?"
Lin Xiaotian's face sank, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You have been talking to him just now, talking about the dangers of blood-sucking insects, but you didn't say Baihua's ambition."
Xu Zirong raised his eyelids: "Isn't that an ambition to give medicine to these people and make everyone a ready carrier for blood-sucking worms?"
Lin Xiaotian slowly shook his head: "Baihua is still a human cultivator, why should he serve the demons?"
"Maybe he hooked up with the demons." Xu Zirong said casually.
Lin Xiaotian pondered for a while, then shook his head again: "Baihua's talent is average, but his brain is not bad, he can't see it, once the blood-sucking worm has possessed a large number of human monks, his effect will not be reflected. If so, The fate of the cunning rabbit and the scumbag will fall on him."
The corners of Xu Zirong's mouth curved, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "You have been so troublesome to defend him, do you have slept with him? So you never forget it?"
Lin Xiaotian's face darkened instantly: "Also ask Daoyou Xu to be careful!"
Xu Zirong pouted, I don't know how many times I've watched you guys in the past life, so be careful not to say anything
He slowly touched his chin, as if he wanted to see from Lin Xiaotian's black face whether he still cared about Baihua. After a long time, Xu Zirong was reluctant to feel relieved. When he said this, it was actually a test for Lin Xiaotian.
My brother is definitely fine, but who knows if Bai Hua's previous lovers have been connected to him
He just observed Lin Xiaotian's expression through these series of things. At present, the effect is not bad, at least in his eyes of Xu Yingdi, there is no trace of Lin Xiaotian's performance.
Even when he mentioned that Lin Xiaotian and Bai Hua had slept just now, Lin Xiaotian was really angry. If not, he would not have said what he said next.
After marking Lin Xiaotian's body with a 'temporary trust' label, Xu Zirong slowly sat down: "The breath on Bai Hua's body is not right. I even suspect that the mixed breath on his body is to conceal his true nature. breath."
"What do you say?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Ziyan, who had been letting Xu Zirong play, finally couldn't help it. In fact, as long as the matter involved Bai Hua, he couldn't help worrying about the other party's male protagonist's halo.
"He has a strange smell of blood on his body, similar to the Heart Sutra of the Sea of Blood, but not the same. Combined with that special substance, I suspect that he can control the actions of the blood-sucking worm."
"What?" Lin Xiaotian was startled. While everyone was fighting all day on how to eliminate blood-sucking worms, Xu Zirong told him that Bai Hua could control the blood-sucking worms
"Yes, I even suspect that he can control the female worm, otherwise there is no way to explain why he is willing to put so much effort into transforming everyone in the Xuanjiamen into a physique suitable for blood-sucking worm possession." Xu Zirong put his own Inferred said.
He glanced at Lin Xiaotian: "You said that Baihua is not stupid. Unless he can control the blood-sucking mother, what reason can explain him for serving the demons so wholeheartedly?"
Xu Zirong said meaningfully: "Only when he builds a team for himself, will he do his best. It's just..." He paused slightly: "I still can't figure out what kind of means Bai Hua uses to control the blood-sucking worms. What? Especially the female worm, that is a trouble that even the Nascent Soul cultivator can't easily solve, how could he be controlled by a Jindan cultivator?"
While Xu Zirong was discussing Baihua's methods with his brother and Lin Xiaotian, in the secret room of a mountain peak in Xuanjiamen—
"Senior, can this method really work?" Bai Hua held the red jade pendant on his chest and used his spiritual sense to communicate with the old man hidden in the jade pendant.
The old man's voice was hoarse, but full of wisdom. At least for so many years, Bai Hua has followed the old man's instructions, not only awakening the blood-sucking worm mother in advance, but also forcing the other party to sign a master-servant contract with him, and he must obey his orders.
It's a pity that this blood-sucking worm is always a demon, no matter how bold he is, he does not dare to openly collude with the blood-sucking worm. Otherwise, before the blood-sucking worm mother develops, the elders in the sect will be able to kill him.
