The old leader led Niu Mang on a stroll outside. After walking only a few steps, Niu Mang’s wrist was in pain, it was unbearable. The Cold Worm was rolling around inside, it was so painful that Niu Mang had to clench his teeth.
“Pain, pain, pain …” “I don’t know what’s going on with these bugs, they’re still moving.” Niu Mang held onto his wrist as he spoke. The old man was overjoyed: “This is it, this is it.” Sure enough, after digging for a while, they finally found something.
Niu Mang looked at the broken tile that he had finally dug out and asked in disappointment, “What is this? It’s not worth much.” The old man said: “After being buried in the ground for a long time, the Cold Worm will only be able to use Old Yin Qi. The Cold Worm are very sensitive to these old objects, don’t worry, it won’t be bad.” That day, Niu Mang wandered around with the old man for a long time, and only found a few things near his home, and casually traded them for quite a bit of money.
Ever since then, almost every day, the old man would bring Niu Mang out for a stroll. Every time, he would make some discoveries, and slowly, Niu Mang’s money would increase. It was as if he was in a dream, but he didn’t realize that his body was growing stronger and stronger day by day.
“So you’re rich now?” The assistant asked, “Yes… “Yeah.” Niu Mang stammered, his voice was soft, and he sounded guilty. Seeing him like that, I knew that he was lying to us, and he sneered in his heart.
“Then why did you come out to steal?” I asked. Niu Mang lowered his head and said, “I can’t help but feel itchy in my hands …” Seeing that he was dressed like a rich person, I knew that his hands and feet weren’t clean, but he wasn’t considered a bad person, at least he didn’t hurt anyone else, but the old man behind him might as well be that old man. Judging from Niu Mang’s description, that old man was an expert at ordering all kinds of poisonous bugs, such people had an unknown origin, and his heart was sinister.
“Alright, I believe in you. You can leave.” After I finished speaking, I untied Niu Mang and he looked at me in disbelief. “Are you really letting me go?” “Let’s go.”
The assistant big brother and Chen Sheng turned pale with fright. Chen Sheng went close to my ear and said, “Bro, what are you doing?” I ignored him and smiled towards Niu Mang: “Why aren’t you leaving, wait for me to capture you?” Only then did Niu Mang realize that I was really going to let him go, and jump out of the window without saying a word.
“Why are you letting him go?” Chen Sheng and the assistant brother asked in confusion. I said, “You two stay here quietly. He jumped out of the window and ran in the direction Niu Mang went in.
I can tell that although Niu Mang isn’t intelligent, he’s a little cunning. If I were to be frank with him, he definitely wouldn’t honestly take me to his place, so I might as well let him go, and then follow him up. Only then can I be absolutely sure that everything is safe.
It just seemed like he was not even close to death. It seemed like the Cold Worm had already taken care of him, as long as he was focused on something, it would be easy for him to lose his Profound Qi, especially for someone like Niu Mang who was completely lost in thought, he was not far from death.
Niu Mang turned left and right, making sure that his lair was remote. The more remote the place, the more likely it was that something bad would happen, which made me even more careful in my heart.
When he arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, he stopped, patted his clothes, and looked around. After confirming that no one was around, he opened the door with the key. It was unknown whether the broken wooden door had the function of guarding against thieves.
I followed him. I ran my hands through the door, tiptoed behind the window, and began to eavesdrop. Don’t say that when the Fox Blood opens its ears, it’s so clear as a radar that even the slightest movement in the room can be heard.
Niu Mang’s footsteps were light. It seemed like he was being cautious, why was he being so careful after returning to his own home? Just as I was wondering, an old and hoarse voice sounded, “Niu’er, you’re back.”
Hearing this voice, I was shocked. This voice was very familiar, causing Niu Mang to jump in fright. He quickly took a deep breath, “Un … You haven’t slept yet. ” There was a touch of fear in his voice.
Then there was the sound of shoes scraping against the ground, slow and heavy. “Niu’er, I’ll let you look at the mother and son. Did you look at them?”
Niu Mang said, “I saw it. I went to see it this morning, but nothing happened.” The old man sighed and said, “Sigh, I’m still old. There are many things that I can no longer do. The people who came to find me are trusting me, but …” Sigh, I can only watch on helplessly as that little girl gets worse by the day. I don’t feel good in my heart. ”
Niu Mang said: “Yes yes, you are a kind person, of course you cannot see this, but don’t get too angry, life and death are in the sky, no one can help the two of them.”
“Niu’er, you’re right. Un, why do you smell like a dead person? Where did you go?” The old man surrounded Niu Mang as he breathed in deeply. The old man did not know how to describe the kindness Niu Mang had shown him, but the old man sighed and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to go out and wander around too much? The Cold Worm couldn’t stand the unfamiliar smell, look, I couldn’t smell the scent of the Cold Worm even after such a long time.
“Yes, but you want me to stay here every day, so I can’t stay here either. Besides, I feel uncomfortable every time I see that insect, and it feels cold from the bottom of my feet. I don’t know why, but it feels better the moment I go out, especially in a place with a lot of people.” Niu Mang said.
“No, no way, no way. I finally found a suitable place for the Cold Worm to stay, you can’t let me ruin this, from today onwards, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay here.” The old man said angrily. Niu Mang was not to be outdone, and the two of them started arguing.
I got up and was about to go out. I didn’t know how long these two had been arguing and it probably wasn’t right to go in like this, but who knows what they had stepped on and there was a crunching sound. It was very quiet at this moment, and I was very close to the window.
“Who’s outside?” After the old man shouted, I hurriedly retreated. Just as I took a few steps back, there was a crashing sound from the window. A huge object flew out and smashed towards me.
The thing flew past my head and landed heavily on the ground, making a ‘Ouch’ sound. I turned around to see that Niu Mang was curled up on the floor.
Pfft, this fellow looks stupid, he’s good at kung fu, I underestimated him. With such a long distance, he jumped out just like that. He’s not an ordinary person, just one look and he’s trained before.
“Aiyo, why did you throw me?” Niu Mang said, following that, the old man jumped out from the hole that Niu Mang smashed into.
I activated the Fox Blood’s condensed gaze and saw the person in front of me clearly. Indeed, this old man was Old Deaf, he actually didn’t run, and was hiding here.
Old Deaf squinted at me and asked, “Who are you?” Hm? What is this guy pretending for? I coldly laughed and said, “Old Deaf, you are really old. We didn’t part for long, did you forget about me just like that?”
After the Old Deaf heard my words, he kept silent for a while, and then said, “So it’s you, it’s really a narrow path between enemies. Why did you come alone this time?”
It seems like he wasn’t faking it. I carefully looked at his eyes and saw that there was a layer of grey on them. So it was his eyes that were sick. No wonder I couldn’t see clearly. He deserved it.
“Old Deaf, it was a mistake to let you run away last time. Let’s see how you can run this time.” I said. If we had to talk about the last time we met the Old Deaf, he should have already exposed his true identity, and he had relied on a lot of help: The queen bug, after getting killed last time, if he still had some other trump cards, including the fact that he can’t see anymore, I still have the confidence to take him down. As for this Niu Mang, we can forget about him being unconscious later.
I silently incited the Fox Blood, but Old Deaf did not seem to be panicking at all, he seemed to be acting quite well, “Are you ready?” I shouted, and then with a stomp of my feet, I charged forward like lightning, my right hand forming a tiger claw, aiming straight for Old Deaf’s face.
The Old Deaf did not dodge but kept his ears. When I was about to reach him, he suddenly raised his hand and a black mist shrouded over me. The Fox Blood was lively and had good hearing, causing the black mist to buzz.
The black mist in front of me turned into numerous small fireballs that fell to the ground. They were actually small flying insects, and Old Deaf had already jumped onto the roof, standing with his legs in front of him. He was muttering an incantation, “This old fellow doesn’t know what he’s planning to do.”
The little earth was very short. I reached the eaves of the house and pulled with my arms, stopping at the edge of the eaves. Old Deaf’s gray eyes were narrowed, his eyelids were trembling rapidly, his lips were trembling violently, his face was pale, and his throat gurgled. Slowly, a black rope came out of his mouth.
This scene was truly strange. An old man was slowly extending a black rope from his mouth, I suppressed my annoyance, grabbed one end of the rope and forcefully pulled it back. Who knew that Old Deaf would be so weak, his strength was not small, and the rope was also very strong.
Suddenly, as if the rope was alive, it slipped out of my hand and wrapped around my wrist. “You’re courting death.” Gritting my teeth, I used my strength to gather the Fox Blood onto my arms. My arms turned red and became a whole circle thicker. Even if I was facing an ox, I still had the confidence to pull it down.
I used both of my hands to hold onto the rope and pulled backwards with all my might. The Old Deaf’s mouth issued out a “Ga Ga Ga Ga” sound and the rope grew longer and longer, “Old man, I’m almost pulling out your intestines.” Perhaps it’s because of the Fox Blood, but at this moment, my violent nature flared up and I wholeheartedly wanted to take Old Deaf’s life.
The Old Deaf was gradually unable to hold on and was slowly pulled over by me. If I continued to move backwards, I would fall down, but the corners of my mouth twitched and I jumped back and fell down along with Old Deaf. Unexpectedly, Old Deaf suddenly became much stronger and managed to hold on by the eaves of the house.
“F * ck, get down here.” I was so angry that I used both hands to push him down, but the Old Deaf was unmoved and his horse steadied himself. Suddenly, the rope in my hand became thicker, the rope tip slowly expanded like a balloon, and I looked at it in surprise. As I stared at it, a sudden spray of white liquid came from the end of the rope, sticking to my face, and the white liquid was so sour that it made me dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.
