Tomb of Immortals

Chapter 16 Corpse Spirit Insect

Four big black hands encircled Baotian from front to back. Baotian hurriedly squatted down, and happened to dodge the four big hands.

Could it be...

Bao Tian thought of a possibility.The iron hook he held in both hands slammed into the insteps of the corpse in front of him, piercing through the skin like rotten leather.

"Shoot-"

As if tearing apart the cloth, Baotian clenched the iron hook tightly, and instantly drove the flesh of the corpse from the instep all the way up to the thigh.

Immediately, the flesh on the two legs turned outward, revealing the bones inside.However, besides the white bones, there are actually black beetles the size of a fingernail crawling over them, the contrast between black and white is particularly eye-catching.

It really is this [corpse spirit worm] that caused the trouble!
No wonder there were only two corpses in Wanjiankeng, and the skeletons in the molten pool remained silent.

Bao Tian suddenly realized that the corpse spirit worm is a kind of zerg that parasitizes on the corpse.It survives by devouring the flesh and blood essence of corpses, and has the ability of many corpse spirits to work together to control the movement of corpses.

At this time, the two corpses had already bent over to grab Baotian, and the four black claws were about to pierce through the top of Baotian's head.

When Bao Tian knew the answer to the riddle, he calmed down, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down, as if he had instantly become an old monk in meditation.

When those four pitch-black claws fell, and when the fingertips were about to touch Baotian's hair, Baotian's slightly closed eyes suddenly widened, and suddenly his consciousness turned into golden lights and shot at the two corpses.

In other words, it was shot at those corpse spirit insects, each golden light was shot into the body of a corpse spirit insect with incomparable precision, not only the naked ones, but also the ones hidden in the corpses.

Although Baotian's consciousness cannot be directly attacked due to the restriction of the law of heaven, it can be used as a deterrent.It's no problem to deter the little corpse spirit insects with the golden lights transformed from divine consciousness. The corpse spirit insects trembled all over immediately, and then curled up, "crackling" like dumplings falling from the corpse Falling.

Many small holes suddenly appeared on the surface of the corpse, corpse spirit insects drilled out continuously and fell to the ground, a thick layer fell on the ground in the blink of an eye.

After the corpse spirit insects fell to the ground, they curled up, stiff as if they had been dead for a long time, but Baotian knew that this was just their instinct to play dead. It is the nature of many insects to play dead when they are in danger.

At this time, the two corpses also lost their ability to move, and after shaking for a few times, they fell backwards.

"Huh..." Bao Tian let out a long breath of foul air, it was really a little thrilling just now.In fact, tomb robbery is like this. No matter how much experience you have and how powerful you are, there will always be unknown dangers waiting for you. It is not uncommon for strong winds and waves to break through, and it is not uncommon for the boat to capsize in the gutter.

Those who are good swimmers drown, and those who move mountains and unload mountains all die in the graves.

Corpse spirits are often accompanied by powerful zombies, just like living companions, who not only use corpses as hosts, but also are served by powerful zombies. Who would have thought that there are corpse spirits here?
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan had some calculations. He first used the Three Illusory Banners as a maze, but then planted corpse spirit insects to make the dead grave robbers become the guards of the tomb.Even Baotian, the king who moved mountains and unloaded mountains, was confused at first, it was really not easy.

Bao Tian rubbed his forehead tiredly, he just used his spiritual sense to deter these corpse spirit insects, in fact, no matter how many divine senses he used, it is not difficult, the difficult thing is to divide the spiritual sense into thousands of shares to deter thousands at the same time This goal made Baotian's spirit a little sluggish.

But at last, the danger was saved, Baotian's divine sense swept over the many corpse spirit insects on the ground, these corpse spirit insects were very difficult to kill unless they were refined with fire spells.He is only in the lucky period now, and he has nothing to do with these corpse spirits, so he has to let them continue to pretend to be dead.

Baotian passed these corpse spirits and continued on, but within a few steps, he passed through a narrow place and reached the inner hole of the cave.

This is a gourd-shaped inner hole, the formation under the banner of the Three Illusions is in the outer hole, and the inner hole is the place where Wei Yan, the first owner of Wei Zhuang, became an eclosion.

When Bao Tian walked in, he saw Wei Yan's body, and there were simple stone tables, chairs and beds in the inner cave.A man in a blue Taoist robe was sitting on the stone bed with his back against the stone wall. Generally, Taoist robes have the function of protecting the corpse from decay.

I saw that this man was born with a bit of fairy air, with five strands of snow-white long beard, the sky is full and round, and there is not even a single wrinkle on his face, but his pale face is not alive.

The appearance is not bad, a mere legendary cultivator looks like a real fairy!Bao Tian couldn't help smacking his lips, pulled off the flagon from his waist, took a big gulp, and unceremoniously started a body search.

But the strange thing is that after Baotian searched Wei Yan's body carefully, he found nothing.After searching the entire inner cave again, nothing was found, which surprised Baotian.

Judging from the three phantom flags and corpse spirit worms planted in the outer cave, Wei Yan, a legendary monk, shouldn't be so poor.

Unwilling to give up, Baotian scanned Wei Yan's body again, but his attention was attracted by a snail stuck there outside Wei Yan's Taoist robe.

Originally, Baotian thought it was just an ordinary snail, and it was normal to have snails in such a damp environment, but this snail seemed to be different.

Although it looked ordinary, Baotian's consciousness was actually blocked when he swept over the snail.Bao Tian's heart moved, he swept away intently, and immediately penetrated the snail's shell and saw the inside.

I saw that the snail, which was originally only the size of a little fingernail, unexpectedly had another world inside its shell, and Baotian's spiritual consciousness swept out a large space of three feet square in the snail shell.

There are various magical instruments stored in this space, as well as some pill bottles, and even a stack of talismans.Obviously this is all that Wei Yan's belongings, Bao Tian never thought that they would all be hidden in a snail shell, and this snail is still alive!
This is rare and strange for Baotian. In the spiritual world where he lives, the monks all use [Hundred Treasure Bag], [Qiankun Bracelet] and other clever storage magic weapons.

But the human world does not have these. The human world he is in now uses these zerg and beasts that are born with the ability to store storage. For example, this [white jade snail] is the most common storage zerg among monks.

In fact, the defense of the white jade snail's shell is not weak, and it can even block the detection of the spiritual consciousness.The cultivation of the snail owner plays a decisive role. For example, Wei Yan, the snail owner, has the cultivation base of the third heavenly legendary realm, so even a monk at the fourth heavenly nirvana realm cannot see what is hidden in the space inside the shell. , it is even more impossible to forcibly open it.

But Baotian's spiritual consciousness is really too strong. Although his previous cultivation was at the nirvana state, with the medicinal power of pure yang wine, his spiritual consciousness has already reached the fifth level of heavenly supernatural powers.

Baotian's divine sense instantly erased the traces of the former owner of the white jade snail, and then unceremoniously recognized the white jade snail's master again. Then the white jade snail carefully poked its pink head out of the snail, and gradually recovered its body. He also came out, crawling on Baotian's fingers and wriggling gently.

Its tentacles probed Baotian's skin, and after confirming that it was the owner, it boldly crawled along Baotian's hand to him.

Baotian felt that the mucus under its stomach and feet had a strong adsorption force, so when it stuck to the body, no matter how violently it moved, it was impossible to get rid of it.

Baotian's mind controlled the white jade snail to crawl into the inside of his cuff and hide it. Let's not take out the treasures in the snail for inspection, the most important thing now is to run away when you get it.

Walking out of the inner cave, Baotian "saw" when he passed through the outer cave that the corpse spirits on the ground were still pretending to be dead, so Baotian didn't care about them, and just took out the three small iron flags again .

Originally, Baotian planned to take the three phantom flags away if the harvest was too little, so the thief didn't fail.But since he has harvested a lot, it is better to keep the three magic flags here, after all, he will live in this Weizhuang for at least a year, and safety comes first.If the people of Weizhuang found that the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral tomb had been stolen, they would definitely not stop until they found out.

Baotian put the three magic flags in their original positions again, the formation started to operate automatically, and the place was restored to the previous paradise, Baotian smiled and went back the same way.

After Baotian left the cave, the corpse spirits began to move their tentacles, as if seeing no danger, they turned over and crawled together, and then gathered into a black stream and crawled towards the inner cave.

Soon they crawled around Wei Yan's corpse, and then happily got into Wei Yan's cuffs and trouser legs as if they had returned home, and disappeared on Wei Yan's body in the blink of an eye.
