Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 742 - 212: The Roaring Fist! The Locust Immortal and the Blood Gu Sect! (8000 Words)_2
In summary...
Yun Jiuqing fell into a trap tonight as well.
Of course.
She had fallen many times before.
One more time.
Was no bother!
"Gulp!" Yun Jiuqing could tell that even Daoist Priest Fan seemed to be at a loss to find any clues. She couldn’t help but swallow nervously, wondering if she would meet her demise tonight.
In a weak voice, Yun Jiuqing asked, "Daoist Priest Fan, can such a locust... pose any fatal threat to me?"
"For instance, could it devour all the mana in my body, and after consuming my mana, could it rupture my internal organs?"
"It’s not that exaggerated," Fan Wu said, instantly easing Yun Jiuqing’s fears.
She still had a lot of faith in Daoist Priest Fan.
"However..." Yet the sudden change of tone in Fan Wu’s voice once again made Yun Jiuqing’s heart leap into her throat.
She heard Fan Wu continue, "It is very likely that it has already bound itself to your life. If you kill it rashly, then... you will die along with it."
"And... it should be altering your consciousness at all times. For example, it will constantly urge you to do something."
"When that time comes, you will unwittingly carry out that act, believing it to be the right thing to do."
With these words, Yun Jiuqing’s face turned as white as a sheet.
What was the difference between this and becoming a puppet?
If she was to become such a puppet, she would rather die!
That would end all her troubles!
Just then, Fan Wu bent down slightly, picked up the chrysalis from the ground, and held it up to his nose for a gentle sniff.
He detected a very strange scent, which could help him track down other things following this odor.
A slight smile crept onto Fan Wu’s face.
Because... he had detected the scent of the wandering Free Attribute Points!
"Stay here and don’t wander off. I’ll be back soon," Fan Wu left those words and departed.
Three people were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Watching Fan Wu depart and vanish into the night, Liu Feng timidly asked, "Where is Daoist Fan Wu going?"
After asking this question, he cautiously glanced back at the statue of the Great Immortal Locust that Fan Wu had shattered.
Upon seeing that the broken fragments of the statue remained motionless, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daoist Fan Wu must have noticed some trace," Xing Fengzi said. "Before Daoist Fan Wu returns, I think we should try not to leave this temple."
"No one knows... what dangers lie outside. Given our current situation, if we encounter danger, it would be troublesome."
Truth be told, among the three companions, only Xing Fengzi had some strength.
Yun Jiuqing was barely passable, but she had inexplicably acquired a locust inside her body.
In such a situation, no one knew how much of her strength Yun Jiuqing could truly muster.
Even Yun Jiuqing herself didn’t know.
So.
Yun Jiuqing nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we should listen to Daoist Priest Fan. No matter what happens, we must not leave this temple. Even if danger approaches, we must keep the danger outside the temple."
...
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
"Great Immortal Locust, another one has been added," said an old man with a large black mole on his face, respectfully addressing a gigantic creature in an underground cavern. "We only need another three hundred and fifty-six people, but it will be difficult to find that many people in this area. Perhaps we need to turn our attention to some nearby counties."
"In two days, the villagers will have their grand worship. With just a little manipulation, we could draw more people in. Once the last three hundred fifty-six people are assembled, Great Immortal Locust, you will be able to use them to refine the Immortality Gu!"
"For this day, Great Immortal Locust, you have planned for over a decade, continuously gathering followers from all directions... for the day to come! We will all do our utmost to assist you, Great Immortal Locust!"
"Sss..."
A strange noise echoed through the vast underground cavern, like a pressure valve releasing air.
In this cavern, there were two creatures.
One was the talking old man with a sizable mole on his face.
The other was a bizarre creature.
This creature had a body similar to that of a human, but on its back were semi-transparent wings, and its head was not that of a human, but that of... an enlarged locust!
This strange creature looked nearly identical to the statues in the temple, with the main difference being size.
For the creature was enormous.
Its head alone was as large as a house.
From the size of this bizarre creature, one could imagine how immense the underground cavern was.
"From the beginning, we followed Great Immortal Locust to break away from the Blood Gu Sect, all for the day to come!" the old man with the mole exclaimed passionately.
