Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 368 Strange Insects and Accidents

The white air cannon visible to the naked eye violently crushed circles of sound waves and bombarded the bat-wing monster!

The bat-wing monster looked terrified, and hurriedly blocked the only remaining bat-wing in front of it.

Although Li Qiu tore off one of the two bat wings after meeting each other, it was still the most defensive part of its whole body.

click!
There was a sound of broken bones like popping beans!
The bat-wing monster turned into an afterimage and flew backwards, smashing through several courtyards and houses along the way, dragging a deep ditch on the ground.

Geng Qi looked at the bat monster that had just shown terrifying strength, and was blown away by Li Qiu's punch, his eyes were so shocked that he couldn't restrain himself.

"Are all martial arts masters who specialize in horizontal training so strong?"

Geng Qi was dazed, his mouth slightly opened.

Li Qiu stepped on his feet and disappeared in place.

"senior……"

Geng Qi's face changed drastically, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly followed.

Under the moonlight, at the end of the deep ditch running through several courtyards, the dilapidated corpse of the bat-winged monster was gone.

"Although I didn't use too much force, is it still dead?"

Li Qiu's expression moved slightly, and he didn't feel any regrets.

If it was a monster who could speak human words, he might regret that he didn't control the power and killed it by mistake.

And although this bat-wing monster is obviously not low in intelligence, it is still far from human.

Even if he is not dead, it is difficult to get any useful information from him, and he is dead.

Suddenly, the corpse of the bat-wing monster on the ground trembled imperceptibly!
A black shadow about an inch in size emerged from the bat-wing monster's heart, and turned into an afterimage and flew towards the heights at high speed.

Bang!
Li Qiu's pupils shrank, he stepped on the ground, and his figure disappeared in place.

In the next breath, he suddenly appeared in the sky tens of feet high, and two fingers were as fast as lightning, pinching towards the black shadow.

The black shadow roared unwillingly, but was still firmly grasped by two fingers that looked like iron tongs.

Li Qiu fell to the ground and was about to look into his hands.

The black shadow suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth, spit out a circle of sound waves!

Li Qiu tilted his head to avoid the sound wave, and a corner of the house was smashed behind him.

He pinched it a little harder, and the black shadow let out a painful scream, and immediately sank down.

A strange-looking bug with transparent wings folded like bat wings, its head is also very similar to a bat, and the mouthparts in its mouth are also long and sharp like a bat!

Li Qiu looked at this bat-like bug, and frowned when he thought of the dead bat monster that looked like both a bat and a pig.

"They all look like bats, and this bug came out of the corpse of the bat monster..."

When he was thinking about the relationship between the two, he suddenly discovered that the heart of the tattered corpse of the bat-wing monster under his feet was intact!
He clearly remembered that this bug came out of the bat-wing monster's heart, so how could there be no trace.

"I'm afraid it involves some mysterious power."

Li Qiu guessed.

"I don't know if I saved that person, will I know anything?"

There was the sound of hurried footsteps from behind.

He turned to look.

"senior……"

Geng Qi, who hurriedly chased after him, opened his mouth to speak, when he saw the strange insect in Li Qiu's hand, he was also startled, and suddenly realized.

"Presumably this is the heart monster that Si Li mentioned."

"You seem to know what this is?"

"Senior, I came here just to tell you about this."

"This is the heart monster, that is, the reason why this bat-wing monster turned into a monster."

"It looks like this bat-wing monster, before this heart monster entered its body, it should be just an ordinary domestic pig."

"Does it mean that after the worm entered the monster's body, it changed from a normal domestic pig to this?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked.

"Then what will happen if this bug enters the human body?"

"This……"

"I've never heard of a monster with a heart running into a person's body..."

Geng Qi was taken aback, and murmured.

Apparently he didn't know the answer to that question either.

Li Qiu waved his hand.

"I have a few more questions for you."

Geng Qi straightened his expression, cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Senior, you saved my life from the bat-wing monster. I must know everything without saying anything."

……

After a while, Li Qiu frowned slightly.

To be honest, he didn't get much useful information from Geng Qi.

I only know that the heart monsters have different shapes and different abilities. After getting into the body of the beast, some of them alienate the body of the beast, and some of them give the beast some ability to become a monster.

The monsters entered by the heart monster will be controlled by the heart monster from now on.

Most of the monsters live in inaccessible places such as deep mountains and old forests, and have no intersection with humans.

Only a few of them, mainly monsters with alienated bodies, will attack humans.

But not all heart monsters will enter the body of the beast.

Just like wild beasts, there are those who are fierce by nature, and those who are gentle by nature.

Some heart monsters that do not enter the bodies of beasts also live in deep mountains, old forests and other places, and some have many intersections with humans.

But generally it will not harm humans, at most it will only disturb human life, such as stealing drinking liquid, stealing copper coins and gold and silver, living in incense burners and inhaling aroma, hiding on house beams or enjoying music somewhere.

Among them, the imperial court set up a demon division whose main duty is to kill those monsters that attack humans.

It is worth noting that, according to what Geng Qi said about the monsters in the world, the Demon Eliminator can only deal with some of them are relatively weak.

As for those powerful monsters, the monster extermination said that they don't need to worry about them, and they will probably disappear spontaneously after a while.

After disappearing, there will often be some terrifying battle traces left in that area, with gullies everywhere, rivers drying up, and even mountain peaks crumbling!
How those powerful monsters disappeared, since Geng Qi had just joined the Demon Elimination Division not long ago, the higher-ups who were not the Demon Elimination Division had no way of knowing.

Li Qiu guessed that the powerful monsters that martial arts masters couldn't deal with must be those "immortals" that old man Guo said.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, how did Dali invite those "immortals" to take action?

With worldly gold and silver?

He looked at the wilting strange insect in his hand, his eyes moved slightly.

Geng Qi said that there is a requirement from the Demon Elimination Division. After killing the monster, try to capture the heart demon alive as much as possible.

He instinctively felt that the root cause of those "immortals"' attacks was probably the heart monster with all kinds of strange abilities.

Maybe the court doesn't need to pay anything at all, it just needs to provide information to those "immortals", and maybe it can earn something from those "immortals".

"Thank you for your answer, it is of great help to me."

Geng Qi frowned as he watched the masked senior who rescued him, feeling uneasy all the time.

It wasn't until Li Qiu opened his brows and opened his mouth to speak that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed in salute.

"Senior saved my life, grace is greater than the sky, how can I be worthy of a word of thanks from senior?"

It didn't happen until Geng Qi straightened up that there was no one in front of him at some point, only the tattered corpse of the bat-wing monster left on the ground.

"senior?"

……

During this trip to Zhaojiacun, Li Qiu got a lot of information.

Although he still hasn't come into contact with the main power system in this world, he already knows where to start.

Just like the imperial court, they must have had contact with those "immortals".

On the way home, the strange insect, which had been sluggish for a while, seemed to regain its energy, and its mouthparts, as sharp as a knife, bit the finger that was holding him hard.

It's a pity that the hardness of Li Qiu's body was far beyond its imagination, and it almost broke its mouthparts.

He flicked his fingers, and there was a loud explosion in the air, blasting a circle of tiny air waves, knocking out the bat-like monster, and putting it into his arms.

After returning home, Li Qiu didn't go out all day the next day, and kept researching the strange bugs in the house until the afternoon.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps.

"Young master, something is wrong, something happened to the eldest son.!"

Li Qiu's face changed slightly, he knocked out the strange insect in his hand with a flick of his fingers, put it in a sachet, put it in his arms, and walked out.

The door was quickly pushed open, and Li Si ran in panting.

"what happened?"

Li Qiu frowned, with a look of coldness on his face, and asked in a deep voice.

He was reincarnated, and to put it bluntly, he was already a hundreds of years old monster.

For Li Ji, who is 30 years old, it is impossible to really treat him as his elder brother, but he still treats him as a relative and does not want anything to happen to him.

"The eldest son went to the street to buy books today, but was kidnapped by blood wolf thieves outside the city!"

He once heard that there was a group of robbers outside Yangcheng called the Blood Wolf Bandits, and that the three heads of the family were all masters of martial arts.

But this is not a big deal, the blood wolf robber kidnapped Li Ji must be seeking money.

Before getting the money, Li Ji's life will not be endangered.

Before that, he set off up the mountain, killed all the bloody wolf robbers, and rescued Li Ji.

Li Qiu asked with a frown.

"I remember that elder brother went to the bookstore to buy books yesterday? Why did he go again today?"

"I heard from Li San that some of the books that Eldest Prince liked didn't arrive yesterday, so I went to the street again today."

"The blood wolf thief sent a letter and the eldest son's jade pendant, asking for 5 taels in exchange for the eldest son's life. The master tells you to go and discuss how to rescue the eldest son!"

Li Si hurriedly replied.

A total of 5 taels, even the Li family, one of the richest in Yangcheng, could hardly take it out for a while, but the blood wolf robbers really dared to ask for it.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

"I see."

In the study room of the Li family, the head of the Li family, Li Xiuzhi, who was of medium build and had a face with Chinese characters, was pacing anxiously, and when he saw Li Qiu coming, he hurriedly said.

"Ping'er, your elder brother was kidnapped by the blood wolf thief."

"The three leaders of the Blood Wolf Bandit are all masters of martial arts. Feng Huyuan also said that they are not the opponent of the three of them. Now you are the only one who takes action."

Li Qiu had paved the way for going out to travel the world alone a long time ago.

It's nothing more than the way he was playing outside when he was a child, and the strangers passing by saw his talent and taught him magical skills.

"Ping'er, tell dad the truth, are you absolutely sure?"

"Although you showed your martial arts to Dad a few years ago, you can turn iron into clay, which is very powerful."

"But the three masters of the Blood Wolf Thief joined forces, and Feng Huyuan, who has practiced martial arts for decades, is not sure of victory."

Li Xiuzhi looked anxious and said worriedly.

"If you are not absolutely sure, Dad will try his best to raise money. 5 taels is no big deal. After more than ten years of hard work, you can earn it back. Nothing will happen to you or your elder brother or two brothers."

Li Qiu shook his head.

"Where did the notoriety of blood wolf bandits come from? When did those bandits speak their minds?"

"Brother will come back safe and sound."

……

In the blood wolf village, in a woodshed.

Li Ji, who was bound by five flowers, woke up leisurely, with a strange sense of vicissitudes and confusion in his eyes.

It took a long while before he seemed to realize something.

"Li Ji?"

"How many years has it been, and I'm finally back!"

　Calvin... I promise there will be more tomorrow.
