"Grandpa, the clan leader..."
Seeing the old patriarch leading the group, Lan Ling'er immediately smiled. But when she saw the white cloth on the old patriarch's body and the small coffin, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Who's gone?"
"Little Agui..." The old patriarch did not expect Lan Ling'er to come back. He walked up to her and rubbed her head lovingly. He sighed and said, "Ling'er, you came back at the wrong time."
Now that Wang Gu is wreaking havoc, everyone in Baihua Village is in danger. How can he not be worried when Lan Ling'er comes back at this time
"I am the descendant of the ancestor Chi You. I will be with Baihua Village no matter life or death!" Lan Ling'er shook her head heavily.
The old patriarch smiled bitterly and shook his head, but there was a little more kindness in his eyes when he looked at Lan Ling'er.
"Old man, can you postpone the burial so that I can see the body first?"
Ye Feng clasped his fists towards the old patriarch and said in a deep voice.
Examining the bodies of the deceased is the best way to find out Wang Gu's methods.
"Who is this?" The old patriarch looked at Ye Feng in confusion and asked Lan Ling'er.
Lan Ling'er blinked and said, "My husband."
Ye Feng glared at Lan Ling'er and was about to explain, but before he could say anything, the old patriarch laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that after this trip, our little Ling'er has grown up and actually has her own man!"
Ye Feng's face was filled with black lines. The people in the Miao village were indeed tough. If it were a normal place, the elders would definitely scold her if they heard that a little girl of Lan Ling'er's age had found a husband, but the old patriarch had a look of praise on his face.
Not only that, Ye Feng also felt that after Lan Ling'er's words came out, there were several hostile glances from the crowd behind the old patriarch. Obviously, Lan Ling'er, this little girl, had many suitors in the Miao village in the past.
"My name is Ye Feng. I'm a doctor, and I'm also the one sent by the government to help Baihua Village deal with Wang Gu!"
Ye Feng revealed his identity in a deep voice, then winked at Nie Qingwu.
Upon seeing this, Nie Qingwu hurriedly took out his ID and handed it to the old patriarch for inspection.
"So it's a distinguished guest!" When the old patriarch saw the ID, his expression immediately became solemn. He turned to the crowd and said, "Stop, open the coffin, and let Doctor Ye see little Agui's body."
Hearing the sound, several men carrying the coffin put the coffin down and opened the coffin lid.
hiss!
Although he had learned about the circumstances of the deaths in the Miao village from Nie Qingwu, Ye Feng still couldn't help but gasp when he saw Xiao Agui's body that had been shriveled to the point of losing its original shape.
Although Nie Qingwu had also seen blood, her beauty couldn't help but turn pale when she saw this scene.
This corpse was so weird. The body was shriveled and without any flesh or blood. Only skin was left attached to the bones, like a mummy.
What’s even more shocking is that there wasn’t even a wound as big as a sesame seed on the body, as if the flesh and blood in his body had been sucked away out of thin air by some evil force.
No, there's something wrong with this body!
And when he used his telekinesis to illuminate the corpse, the wrinkles on Ye Feng's brows became even deeper.
He discovered that he could not sense any blood or vitality in Xiao Agui's body.
According to common sense, after a person dies, the vitality will dissipate, but the blood will remain for a period of time. But Xiao Agui clearly died last night, how could there not be even a little blood in his body.
Could it be that the King Gu was not sucking flesh and blood, but was devouring the blood and energy of the human body? !
In an instant, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Ye Feng's mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he confirmed this guess.
Flesh and blood are the source of human blood and energy. If the blood and energy are consumed, the flesh and blood will naturally dry up and die. Similarly, this statement can also explain why there is no wound on Xiao Agui and the previous victims.
Because it devours blood and qi, there is no need to create wounds on the human body, it only needs to go through the acupoints.
But if this is true, a king Gu that can devour blood and energy is a bit too scary.
Especially according to the experience and records left by Gu King Ge Lai, this blood-eating Gu worm only exists in legends, and this Gu worm has a very strong growth potential. The more blood it devours, the stronger it will be.
However, the power of this King Gu does not seem to be strong enough at the moment, otherwise, it would not take three days to absorb the blood and energy of a person after devouring it.
But if it becomes stronger, it will absorb blood and energy faster and the time it takes to attack will be shorter.
"Chief, the burial time cannot be delayed. If we miss the auspicious time, little Agui's soul will not be able to enter Mother Butterfly's heaven!"
At this moment, a young man with a sharp blade on his waist suddenly spoke in a deep voice to the old patriarch. While speaking, he glanced at Ye Feng with an unfriendly look.
Butterfly mother
Ye Feng understood that this young man was probably one of Lan Ling'er's suitors, but he didn't understand what Butterfly Mama was.
"Butterfly Mother is a legend of our Miao family. It is said that our ancestors were transformed from butterfly eggs, so we call butterflies Butterfly Mother..." Seeing this, Lan Ling'er explained to Ye Feng in a low voice.
Seeing the looks of the two, the young man's eyes became even more unfriendly, and he almost spit fire.
At the same time, a black scorpion crawled out from his chest. As if it sensed its owner's jealousy, it opened its big claws and waved them towards Ye Feng in a demonstrative manner.
Gu insect!
Ye Feng was stunned when he saw this, and then he immediately felt that not only this young man, but everyone in the village, even the old patriarch like the old tribe leader, had the scent of poisonous insects.
Such a village can be said to be a veritable Gu village!
"Young man, the burial time cannot be delayed. This is our custom!" The old patriarch motioned the young man to close the coffin lid, then reached out and rubbed Lan Ling'er's head, saying, "My little Ling'er, take your friends and leave. At this time, we can't keep outsiders in the village."
The old patriarch was a man of integrity. The matter of Wang Gu was Baihua Village's own business. They could deal with it, but they couldn't let outsiders come and die in vain. Otherwise, he wouldn't have driven the police who came to investigate away from Baihua Village.
"Old Patriarch, we are here to help. We will not leave until the King of Gu is dealt with!" Ye Feng shook his head decisively.
What a joke! He traveled through mountains and rivers and came here with great effort, how could he be sent away like this
However, he was quite moved by the old patriarch's polite refusal.
"Grandpa clan leader, they can help. Believe me, he is very powerful!" Lan Ling'er also hurriedly pleaded for Ye Feng.
"Very powerful, how powerful? Is he as powerful as Gangjun?" The old patriarch smiled and said.
Hearing this, the young man with the scorpion insect on his shoulder immediately straightened his chest and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"He... he can fly..." Lan Ling'er scratched her head and said loudly after a while.
