Chapter 230 78．Thousands of strands block the way

The two pathfinders quickly sneaked into the underground cave along the blasted path in the flame demon's lair.Although most of the flame demons have already run away, there are still a small number of flame demons who still linger here and do not want to leave.In addition, the boiling magma has not been completely cooled, and it will pour into the cave from time to time, so this road is not peaceful, let alone safe.

However, the minds and brains of the two pathfinders that Shen Yunfei ordered had already been devoured by Gu worms, and their lives were lost. All that was left was the soul energy in the sea of ​​consciousness to control the movement of the body and cast spells.Their sanity has long since disappeared, and their bodies have turned into corpse puppets who can only obey the orders of Gu ghosts. Therefore, the danger on this road is nothing to them.

Everything the corpse puppet saw was passed back to the Gu ghost's field of vision through the Gu insect, and then transferred to Shen Yunfei's sea of ​​consciousness through the Nine Flame Burning Heart Gu.Watching the two corpse puppets flow through the boiling magma pool as if they were stepping on the ground, ignoring the fact that the flesh on their legs was scalded to pieces, they dragged their bare legs and continued to move forward without fear or pain , Shen Yunfei couldn't help frowning.

"Let them avoid the magma pool." Shen Yunfei said to the Gu ghost: "Don't wait until the flame demon pounces on you before you do it. If you find the flame demon, use magic to attack first, and clear the road before going over."

Hearing these words, the Gu ghost trembled in fright, and hurriedly responded nonchalantly, manipulating the two corpse puppets to use Taoism, and began to clean up the flame demons beside the road.

"It seems that two are not enough, and you can't pass through invisibility." Observing the situation in the cave, Shen Yunfei continued: "Let the two of them wait first, and then send a few people down, bring the fire-avoiding talisman, and wait until they are all together." Move on."

"Yes." The Gu Ghost responded, and continued to follow Shen Yunfei's instructions, but secretly reminded himself: Although this person seems to have forgiven himself, turning a living person into a corpse puppet is always against the law of heaven.If one is not careful and makes him angry again, his own life will be lost.

Just when the Gu ghost thought that Shen Yunfei was dissatisfied with his lack of respect for the corpse puppet's body, he heard Shen Yunfei talking to himself and reminding him: "It's too wasteful. There is still such a long way to go. If you want to leave, there are only a few corpse puppets, if they all rot, wouldn't it be a waste?"

In a word, Gu Gui wanted to vomit blood.

I also thought that this person had a heart of compassion, even if someone was turned into a corpse, he still couldn't bear to hurt his body.After working for a long time, he has already regarded these corpse puppets as tools and tools, and added protection, but he didn't want these tools to wear out too much, otherwise it would not be worthwhile.

Just like some people will sew thick leather on the soles of their shoes, just to be able to walk a longer distance, not really because they are afraid that the shoes will be hurt, so they protect them.

The Gu ghost manipulated almost ten corpse puppets into the cave together, and the flame demons along the way were almost cleaned up.

The cave is very deep, and it looks like there is another exit, which is most likely the way to the second floor of the Demon King's Hall.

The corpse puppet continued to walk for a while, and the flame demon was almost gone on the road, and there were many large and small spiders.

These spiders are obviously poisonous, but for inanimate corpses, this toxicity has no effect at all, and it can't even cause damage to corpse puppets.Therefore, after simply ascertaining the several toxins of the spider, Shen Yunfei confidently let the ghost guide the corpse puppet to move on.

However, after going forward for a while, the corpse puppet's speed obviously slowed down, and its reaction was not so quick, and even when casting spells, there were continuous errors.

"What's going on?" Shen Yunfei asked.

"That..." Gu ghost lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and then said: "The distance is too far, it is a bit difficult to manipulate. If it is farther away, I can't control them, so I can only let the Gu insects act independently gone."

"Is the distance too far? It's really useless." Shen Yunfei snorted.

"Yes, I'm useless." Gu Gui felt a little wronged, but he didn't dare to say a word.

In fact, it's not to blame for Shen Yunfei's mistake of blaming the Gu ghost. The technique of detecting Gu in this world is originally limited by distance.Once it is beyond the control range, the Gu worms residing in the host's body will either fall into a deep sleep, or go mad due to loss of control, and directly bite the host to death.Especially the soul-controlling Gu, which needs to be directly manipulated by the Gu master, the casting distance is even shorter.Only some very special Gu, such as Lianxin Gu, can still work even thousands of miles away.

It's a pity that although Shen Yunfei is well-read, he doesn't know much about Gu art.And when he first came into contact with this kind of Gu technique, it was extremely high-level Gu techniques such as Lianxin Gu and Golden Silkworm Gu King. Naturally, he couldn't understand these relatively low-level corpse-controlling Gu and soul-controlling Gu used by Gu ghosts.

If the ghost's soul power were stronger, the casting distance could be further.But because Shen Yunbing took the Nine Flames Burning Heart Gu, which directly caused the soul power of the Gu ghost to be damaged, it is very rare to be able to persist until now.

After all, although his method of playing Gu is brilliant, his soul power is far behind that of his senior Gu Yang Daoist.

"Forget it." Shen Yunfei also knew that it was useless to force this kind of thing.Since the corpse puppet can't move forward and the direction is basically determined, let's go straight down.

He turned his head and waved, and said to Li Xinchun and Cang Ye: "If the estimate is correct, this road should lead to the second floor. Anyway, we have had enough rest, let's go down first."

"Okay." Cang Ye nodded.Although I don't know what the corpse puppet saw below, but judging by Shen Yunfei's expression, there shouldn't be any major problems.

As for Li Xinchun, he had already made up his mind that wherever Shen Yunfei went, he would definitely follow there.

A group of people sneaked into the cave along the flame demon's lair, guarded by corpse puppets.The Gu ghost had already consumed a lot before, but now it has to control nearly sixty corpse puppets at the same time, which seems a bit strenuous.

Shen Yunfei glanced at Gu Gui, threw him a small bottle casually, and said: "If you can't do it, just eat a little, there are still many things to do later."

Gu Gui took the bottle and saw that it was a bottle of Yihun Pill, which could replenish the consumed soul power.

In fact, these things originally belonged to the sixty or so guys who turned into corpse puppets, and they were originally in the hands of Gu ghosts.But because Shen Yunfei became his master, all these things naturally belonged to Shen Yunfei.

Those who entered the Demon King's Palace, which one was not fully prepared, and which one did not have a certain identity and status.Therefore, even if the elixirs they carried were not elixir, they were good products for revived souls.It's a pity that Shen Yunfei has even eaten the Penglai elixir, and he still has a few bottles of elixir that Xuan Mo gave him when he came in. When these things are in his hands, they become ordinary, and they are given to Gu Gui A few grains is really normal.

Just like Shen Yunfei felt sorry for those corpse puppets, if the Gu ghosts were weak, their own safety would be less guaranteed.

It's a pity that Gu Gui didn't think so in his heart, he forgot the previous lesson, and he was still somewhat grateful to Shen Yunfei.

In his opinion, these pills are all used to save life.Shen Yunfei gave himself a whole bottle so generously, it seemed that he was more or less useful.

It is good if it has utility value, and it will not be easily sacrificed if it has utility value.

The Gu ghost that Xiaoming held in Shen Yunfei's hands had already lost the dignity of being a strong man, and he was only thinking about how to please this master so that he could live longer.

After expressing joy and tears of gratitude, the Gu ghost took a soul-yielding pill, and at the same time arranged the corpse puppets to guard Shen Yunfei's front, back, left, and right sides, while letting the corpse puppets in front continue to explore the way.

After walking through a dark cave, there is already a wide area in front of you.On the black rock wall, caves of various sizes can be seen everywhere, and almost every cave is surrounded by dense spider webs.

It looks like this is a spider's nest.Shen Yunfei already had a premonition of what the next opponent he would meet would be.

"There are so many paths, which one is the correct one?" Cang Ye asked softly.

"It's simple." Gu Gui, who was eager to gain trust, rushed to say.As he spoke, he took off a black lacquered gourd from his waist, flicked the stopper, and a cloud of fluorescent mist sprayed out.

Upon closer inspection, this cloud of mist is actually formed by the gathering of countless small insects.Under the Gu ghost's order, the bugs flew in all directions, at least hundreds of them got into each cave.In this way, even if there are many forks in the road, there is no need to worry about finding the right road.

Not long after, the bugs that flew out came back again, but the number was less.And the message Xiao Chong brought back made Shen Yunfei frowned.

"How? Which one is the exit?" Li Xinchun asked.

Shen Yunfei raised his finger and pointed to a hole not far to their left, and said in a deep voice, "It should be here."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Cang Ye raised his leg and was about to move forward, but was pulled back by Shen Yunfei.

"I say yes, because it's different from other caves."

"Why is it different?" Cang Ye asked.

At this moment, Gu Gui suddenly screamed: "Sure enough, our way in is also blocked."

"What's going on?" Li Xinchun asked.

Shen Yunfei shook his head, turned around and walked back.Not far away, they saw a snow-white spider web, which had sealed the cave where they came.On the spider web, there are still a few fluorescent lights flickering, which are the bugs that the Gu ghost just released to explore the way.

"Soul-eating spider web?" Li Xinchun frowned.

If it was just an ordinary spider web, it would be absolutely impossible for the Great Ape King to show such an expression.The reason why he frowned was because he recognized that the owner of the spider web was not just an ordinary monster.
