Chapter 1217: Statue of Gods (rolling is not as comfortable as biting the tail)

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the other party's face suddenly became solemn.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for the Nuwa family?"

“Oh…Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet, we are from the Inquisition…”

Duanmu Huai always answered all questions, and quickly explained the situation to the woman. For example, they came from a fairy sect from a foreign country. They came to Guibao this time because someone in their family had damaged their spirit and needed treatment. He learned that the Nuwa family was all good at rejuvenating. An old Chinese doctor, so he traveled thousands of miles to seek medical advice and so on...

"I see."

After listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, the woman's expression softened slightly. She looked at Tomoe Mami and Huan Iroha carefully and nodded.

"If this is the case, there is no need to go to Nuwa's family, I have a way."

 “Oh? What can I do?”

“It is true that damage to the soul can be repaired, but we Bai Miao people have our own methods.”

As she spoke, the woman took out a box.

"As long as you use soul Gu, you can repair your soul and restore it to the original state."

　　　…………Gu?”

Duanmuhuai didn't say much, but his "subway, old man, mobile phone" expression said it all.

On the contrary, An opened her eyes curiously and looked at the box. After coming to this world, she discovered a lot of new and interesting things, and apparently this Gu was the same now.

 “Is this for eating?”

"certainly."

Hearing An's question, the woman nodded, then opened the box, and then everyone saw...a dark, fat insect that looked like a big caterpillar lying inside.

 “Hey————!”

 Seeing this insect, Huan Iroyu immediately ran behind Kisara in fear, and Tomoe Mami also stiffened. On the contrary, An stared at the insect with interest and asked.

 “Then how to use this?”

 “Just swallow it.”

 “Swallow? Isn’t it eating?”

"Of course not, it must be swallowed alive, so that the soul worm will lodge in the body. As long as the host feeds it according to the recipe every day, it can keep itself safe."

 “Swallow it?”

"Live?"

Hearing what An said, Iroha Tamaki and Asami Tomoe almost lost their breath. Just looking at this big bug head-on is almost close to their mental limit. When they think about this bug still living in their bodies and growing up with them, the feeling of despair rushes over them - it can directly make them black. Let’s turn into a witch!

 “Uh… I have good intentions, but unfortunately this is not a problem between two people…”

Duanmuhuai himself doesn't care about the solution, but the biggest problem with this insect poison is the same as Caiyi's Hundred Flowers Immortal Brew. There are not enough in quantity. There are more than tens of thousands of magical girls in that world... This bug and Hundred Flowers Immortal Brew are completely different. Not enough.

"so………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the woman frowned, and then sighed silently.

“Okay, let’s be honest... you have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and I’m afraid you will come back empty-handed.”

 “Hmm? Why?”

"Because...the Witch Queen is no longer here..."

"Um???"

Under the other party's explanation, Duanmuhuai finally understood the cause and effect. According to this woman, the Miao people believe in Nuwa, and the descendants of the Nuwa clan are not actually a family as Duanmuhuai thought, but a person. !

 That’s right, Nuwa’s descendants only have one person from generation to generation, and they only give birth to females! A single lineage!

The previous Witch Queen, in order to settle the dispute between the White Miao and Black Miao people, married the King of Nanzhao of the Black Miao people. As a result, the latter put her on death row because of her status as a descendant of the Witch Queen Nuwa. Later, the Water Monster was resurrected and brought disaster to the world. In order to seal the Water Monster, the Witch Queen sacrificed herself to seal it...

"After that, the Witch Queen died..."

　　　…………”

 After listening to the Bai Miao woman's explanation, Duanmu Huai felt numb all over.

 Is this another wasted trip? !

“This is the situation. At present, the war between our white Miao and black Miao people has resumed. This Dali city is not safe. I am sorry that I cannot help you. Please leave as soon as possible to avoid being involved in the war."

 After saying this, the woman turned and left with the soldiers, and the others dispersed. It seemed that everything had returned to calm.

"………What should we do now?"

 At this moment, An also finished explaining to the others, and turned around helplessly to look at Duanmu Huai, who narrowed his eyes.

 “I don’t believe it’s that simple.”

“Mr. Knight, what you mean is that the Witch Queen is not dead?”

"I don't know whether she's dead or not, but I'm sure that woman didn't tell the truth. Of course, this is normal, but it doesn't mean that I will listen to her. Moreover, I also sensed a weak wave in Dali City. The aura of divine power.”

 “Divine power?”

“Yes, if what that woman said is true, I think this should be the aura of a descendant of Nuwa.”

Although he is not very proficient in magic, as a god, Duanmuhuai is still somewhat capable of sensing the aura of gods.

 “Which way?”

"I have to look for this... After all, tracking breath is not my specialty... Anyway, let's walk around first."

Strictly speaking, there is not much to see in Dali City. If it were Dali City with beautiful mountains and clear waters, maybe you could go sightseeing like you did in Suzhou City. However, the drought here has been going on for days now, and most people are living with haggard body and mind, and the shops have long been closed to thank customers. Along the way, everyone only saw how miserable the people here were, and there were no other clues.

“Speaking of which, why is it becoming dry here? Is it caused by some evil spirit?”

Looking at the dry river in the distance, An frowned, looking unhappy. Manalia is a city of water, with rivers and fountains everywhere in the city, so An instinctively resented this arid environment.

"Probably, but it has nothing to do with us... Well, where is that place in front?"

Duanmu Huai didn't care too much about this kind of detail. On the contrary, he wandered to the end of the road and looked at the majestic-looking building in front of him. Seeing Duanmuhuai's arrival, the Bai Miao guard responsible for guarding the door hurried over.

“I’m sorry, this is the temple of our Bai Miao people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

“Temple?” Duanmu Huai’s eyes lit up when he heard the guard’s words.

 “What’s in it?”

"this………"

Facing Duanmu Huai’s question, the Bai Miao guard obviously did not intend to answer, but Duanmu Huai was not completely helpless at this moment. He took off his hood and stared at the Bai Miao guard. The latter looked at the clone in front of him, and his whole body suddenly trembled.

 “This, you...”

 “Tell me, please? What’s in there?”

At this moment, Duanmuhuai stared at the guard and asked again. But this time, the white Miao guard seemed to be hypnotized and answered blankly.

 “There is a statue of a **** inside...”

 “Idol?”

"Yes... In the year when the Witch Queen died, a rare flood occurred in the Miao territory. Heavy rain like the Tianhe bursting its banks continued for a month. At that time, the entire city of Dali became a vast ocean, and many tribesmen were They took refuge in the mountains, and in the flood, someone found the statue and enshrined it on the altar. Strangely enough, the rain stopped soon after that and the flood subsided... From then on, everyone This statue was worshiped as the great goddess Nuwa, and the altar here was built as a temple for the Bai Miao people to come and pay homage..."

 “Can I go in and have a look?”

"this………"

“I’m just going in to take a look, is that okay?”

"………yes………"

 Finally, facing Duanmu Huai's request, the Bai Miao guard nodded, then turned and walked to the other side of the gate. Duanmu Huai also walked directly into the temple - seeing this scene, An and others hurriedly followed.

Walking into the temple, everyone suddenly sighed softly. It was not that the temple was so glorious and magnificent, but that the water in the temple was rippling and the air was filled with fresh water vapor, which made people feel refreshed.

 “There is actually water here?”

 “It’s obviously all dry outside...”

Looking at the water around them, the girls were also very confused. They had just walked around Dali City and there was a lack of water everywhere, whether it was well water or river water. But why was there water only here?

At this time, Cai Yi also spoke in a low voice.

“The little girl can feel that there is a strong concentration of water spirit energy here...”

“Sure enough, I knew there must be a ghost here.”

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

 “Let’s go in and have a look.”

Under the leadership of Duanmu Huai, the group of people passed through the temple smoothly and came to the altar at the end. Then they saw in the center of the altar a stone statue of a woman with a human upper body, a snake lower body, and long hair.

 And seeing this stone statue...

 “Ah, Medusa!”

 “Isn’t this a basilisk?”

Seeing this stone statue, everyone couldn't help but scream. In fact, the stone statue in front of them was basically the same as the basilisk they encountered in the Hidden Dragon Cave before, except that the basilisk was male and this basilisk was female. Yes, and it’s still a stone statue...

“I remember that in the legend, Medusa seemed to have turned into stone because she saw herself in the mirror?”

Tomoe Asami approached Tamaki Iroha and whispered, and the latter nodded.

"That seems to be true. Could it be that this is also a stone statue?"

However, just as they were whispering, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded again.

 “This is not a basilisk.”

 “Huh? Isn’t it?”

"Yes, I can feel that there is a breath of divine power in her body... Well, she must have exhausted her power and became what she is now."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai walked up to the altar and came to the side of the stone statue.

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the descendant of Nuwa."

"Now what?"

 “It’s very simple.”

Duanmu Huai moved his arms.

"She became like this because she exhausted her divine power. So as long as she is replenished with enough divine power, she will be resurrected. Next, leave it to me - the moon prism, the powerful transformation!"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and the next moment, a muscular man with nine heads and a body wearing a pink and white lace skirt appeared again.

Seeing the muscular giant in front of them, the girls' expressions changed and they turned their heads. On the contrary, Caiyi looked at Duanmuhuai curiously without any timidity.

 “Is this the benefactor’s true form? He is so majestic.”

"Are not you afraid?"

Looking at Caiyi's calm look, An was surprised. After all, it was the first time he saw Duanmuhuai and he wasn't scared at all. Caiyi seemed to be the first one, right?

“Ah, my little girl is not afraid, because there are many monsters that look like benefactors, and my little girl has long been used to them.”

got used to………

Hearing the voices of the two people coming from behind, Duanmu Huai felt as if he had been stabbed, but he still concentrated on looking at the stone statue in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to hold its head.

The other party is also a god...well, at best he is a demigod? But it's enough. For Duanmu Huai, as long as he injects a little divine power, he can be resurrected. As for whether this descendant of Nuwa can help him, that's another matter.

 What if she wasn't?

Then just kill him and that's it. It's the same thing no matter how old you are.

Soon, divine power poured into the stone statue from Duanmu Huai, and the originally empty stone statue gradually emitted a weak white light under the infusion of divine power. Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared on its surface and spread rapidly.

 “Click, click, click…”

Soon, spiderweb-like cracks covered the surface of the stone statue, and the next moment...

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the stones on the surface of the stone statue were completely blown away, and then, a woman with a human body and a snake's tail emerged from it and collapsed to the ground.
