"Old Wu—"
When Ye Jin and Xiao Baitang rushed to me at the same time, I had already stabbed the dagger into my flesh. My original intention was to do as I did on the train, risking serious injuries to get the poison out of my flesh.
Although my knife cut open my chest and also stabbed the body of the insect, just as I was about to exert force outward, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest as if a steel needle was piercing my muscles.
The poisonous insect I had picked out of my flesh was stretched into a V-shaped straight line by the tip of my knife. The middle of the poisonous insect was lifted up in the air by my knife, but its head and tail were firmly stuck in my flesh and drilling desperately.
"Don't move!" Xiao Baitang rushed to my side quickly, "Don't cut the poisonous insect! If the poisonous insect is cut by a knife, it will become ferocious and will drill directly into your internal organs."
I said in a deep voice: "Then what should I do?"
Xiao Baitang whispered, "I've never seen this kind of poisonous insect before, and I don't know how to cure it. Now... Now you can either let go and let the poisonous insect get into your body. If it doesn't kill you right away, maybe we can still have a chance to cure it later. Or..."
Xiao Baitang looked at my face and said, "Sister Xiaoying and I will pull the insect out at the same time. If the insect is not broken..."
"No need to say!" I gently pressed the handle of the knife and pulled it back. The poisonous insect I picked up was like a steel needle pushed by someone, stabbing into my heart. At that moment, I even felt a needle piercing through my body and stabbing out from my back.
When I covered my chest with my hands and groaned, Ye Jin and Lu Xiaoying also stepped back beside me as if they had been electrocuted: "You..."
I had just said two words when I saw both of them looking at me with pale faces and their hands covering their chests.
They were also poisoned! This thought just flashed through my mind, and the next moment, the silk-thin poisonous insect wrapped around my heart several times and suddenly tightened its body. I felt a sharp pain in my heart and rushed to the altar in an instant. I felt dizzy and my eyes went black. I instinctively covered my chest and fell to the ground.
I probably only fainted for a few seconds before I recovered, but I could still clearly feel the poisonous insect that had pierced my body wrapped around my heart like a steel wire. As long as the poisonous insect attacked, I would end up with a broken heart and die.
Xiao Baitang grabbed the silver needle and sealed the acupuncture points near my chest. His face was pale as he said, "I have sealed your acupuncture points with silver needles. The Gu worm will be dormant temporarily. However, don't use your true energy easily. If you stimulate the Gu worm, it might attack immediately."
Ye Jin said with red eyes: "Old Wu, why don't you and Xiao Ying also dissolve the zombies, and Xiao Baitang and I will protect you and move forward!"
I waved my hands and said, "No, at least I can still do it. With just the two of you, none of us can get out. Get up and go!"
I hastily put a piece of gauze on the wound and turned around with blood all over my body: "My brother has taken the zombie-dissolving powder. What is your choice?"
At this time, Monk Shi was lying flat on the ground like a zombie. Apart from faint breathing, he had no other signs of life.
The person who had been arguing with me just now sneered again: "How can we trust something that you can't even handle yourself?"
Ye Jin's face turned cold: "Then do as Wu Zhao said. You can follow the team. Don't blame us if you can't keep up. If anyone else is with him, please stand up quickly and don't waste time."
Yu Shitong hesitated for a moment and came out: "Give me the medicine, I believe in Wu Zhao!"
The man roared, "Yu Shitong, are you sick? That's poison!"
Yu Shitong shook her head and said, "I don't believe that someone who can rush into the bee swarm and desperately save me will abandon his teammates at will."
The man said angrily: "He must have had other purposes at that time!"
"I accept that Wu Zhao has other purposes." After Yu Shitong raised his head and drank the zombie-melting powder, he soon fell to the ground.
With Yu Shitong taking the lead, Jiang Yan and the others also began to take the zombie-dissolving powder one by one. In the end, only three people were still hesitating. I glanced at them lightly, took out the corpse-driving bell and shook it in the air. The people who were lying on the ground stood up straight like zombies.
Ye Jin pulled their hands and placed them on the shoulders of the person in front one by one. Then I shook the corpse-driving bell and walked forward. At the beginning, I couldn't control the speed of the zombies. Soon after, I gradually increased the speed. More than ten people followed behind me like a long dragon, moving forward quickly with ups and downs.
Not long after, the three people who didn't take the Neutralizing Powder began to lose strength and moved further and further away from us.
After a while, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell behind us, crying desperately: "Mr. Wu... wait for us... wait for us..."
"Ye Jin, we are willing to take the medicine, please wait for us!"
"Mr. Wu, don't abandon me... Come back..."
"Lu Xiaoying, I know you are a good person, please beg Wu Zhao, please beg Wu Zhao for us!"
The cries of the three people became more and more miserable. Some of them had already lost their voices, but they still refused to give up.
Xiao Baitang couldn't help but said, "Wu Zhao, why don't you give them another chance..."
I said in a deep voice: "Don't look back, those people are already dead."
Little White Sugar screamed, "What are you talking about? Aren't they chasing us?"
"They didn't call your name, couldn't you feel it?" Cold sweat was already oozing out of my forehead as I spoke.
Every time the three people behind me shouted, I felt a palpitation in my heart. Even though I knew they would shout again after they stopped, after they shouted my name, my heart would still tremble with the ghost-like shouting, and I would also feel the same excruciating pain.
Lu Xiaoying held his breath and shouted loudly: "Close your ears and go!"
I also know that it is "the evil ghost calling the soul". The faster the ghost calls, the faster the human heart beats. It won't take long for ordinary people to die of heart palpitations. Although we are not afraid of evil ghosts, we are all entangled with poison in our hearts. The result of a fast heartbeat is the same as death from a broken heart.
I looked behind me with red eyes: "Make a bet with me!"
I raised the corpse-driving bell and shook it twice. The crisp sound of the bell shook the whole field. I suddenly raised the spirit of the netherworld and sped up my pace to run as fast as I could. The living zombies behind me jumped several meters and rushed forward. Although Ye Jin and Lu Xiaoying gritted their teeth and followed me closely without saying a word, their faces gradually turned pale, and the palms hanging by their sides unconsciously grabbed their chests...
I still lost the bet. Although I used the ringing of the bell to drown out the evil spirit's shouting, Ye Jin and the others' heartbeats also accelerated as they ran faster, and the poison wrapped around us still broke out.
Stop? If we stop now, we will just be waiting for death. But if we continue running, we will fall on the way to escape...
"Hold on a little longer!" My only hope now is to quickly lead them to escape from the place where the Ghost Sect ambushed us. But the Ghost Sect never took action. Where did they really ambush us
When I subconsciously raised my head and looked forward, I saw a big river blocking our way.
Oh no!
The corpse driver said that the corpse-dissolving powder will dissolve when it comes into contact with water. If we go any further, won’t everything become a mess right away
Just as I was getting anxious, Lu Xiaoying suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wu Zhao, jump into the river and follow Xiao Baitang. Be careful!"
When I turned around, I saw Lu Xiaoying pinching her fingers together. Did she just use the Heaven-Defying Hand
"Go quickly! Trust me!" Lu Xiaoying said only two sentences before he knelt down on the side of the road as if he could not hold on any longer.
"Ye Jin..." Before I could even call out to Ye Jin, he was already half-kneeling on the ground: "Go, we're waiting for you to come and save us..."
Ye Jin fainted before he could finish his words. I gritted my teeth, threw away the corpse-driving bell, stood up and jumped into the river.
Not long after I fell into the water, Xiao Baitang jumped down with me, put his arms around my neck from behind, and dragged me downstream. We quickly escaped the other party's pursuit.
Xiao Baitang swam with me for more than a hundred meters before whispering, "Try to relax your body and control your heartbeat."
I also knew that I couldn't be anxious now, but I couldn't control my emotions. My heart seemed to deliberately provoke the poisonous insect, and it flipped up and down with the insect. After a while, I couldn't bear the huge pain in my heart, my hands and feet began to numb, and I couldn't help but tremble in the water...
Xiao Baitang dragged me to the riverside, stabbed me with a few needles and said, "Don't worry! Your heartbeat is too fast... Sorry..."
Xiao Baitang slashed my neck with his hand, and my eyes went dark and I passed out.
After a long time, I finally woke up. Xiao Baitang had already dried my coat by the fire. When Xiao Baitang saw me wake up, he tilted his head and said, "You can dry the rest of the clothes yourself. I'll go out first."
"I'm not that squeamish." I said as I put on my clothes. "How long have I been unconscious?"
Xiao Baitang said, "About two hours."
"Two hours..." I reached out and touched the backpack beside me. Lao Chang should still be with Lu Xiaoying.
"Xiao Baitang, please help me protect the law." I immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and quickly contacted Lao Chang who was lurking near Lu Xiaoying.
When Lao Chang sent me the scene, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lu Xiaoying and Ye Jin were tied to the tree, they were not in danger of death; Jiang Yan and the others stood side by side not far from Lu Xiaoying without moving; on the contrary, the man who refused to drink the zombie-dissolving powder on the mountain had his chest cut open and his heart taken out.
The sorcerer with blood on his hands held a human heart that was broken in half, and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "This is a green leaf Gu, it can't be the food of the divine Gu. Another person come over."
An employer standing in the queue slowly walked over and stood obediently beside the sorcerer. The sorcerer pointed at the sharp knife thrown on the ground and ordered: "Dig out the poison from your body!" (To be continued)
