Chapter 886 Three Corpse Insects
Qin Shan came to the bottom and stood in front of a fifth-grade spirit beast. The ancient mirror waved at the spirit beast.
A green shadow flashed past, and a ball of green energy slowly formed inside the ancient mirror.
"This rare treasure is called the Ancient Blue Beast Mirror. It is extremely valuable within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, far exceeding ordinary low-level magic weapons."
"It seems that there are thousands of demonic beast essences being sacrificed inside. The physical bodies and souls of the spiritual beasts can be seen. Once any abnormality occurs, it will appear on the mirror."
While Lu Xuan was looking at the ancient mirror in Qin Shan's hand, the Lord of Qingmu Star came near him at some unknown time and transmitted a message to him.
"It turns out to be such a rare treasure. Thank you, senior, for informing me."
Perhaps it was because of Lu Xuan's pure spiritual energy of vegetation that Lord Qingmu seemed to have a good impression of him, and his words were somewhat cordial.
The ancient mirror in Qin Shan's hand has changed at this moment.
I saw the green energy turning into a green shadow. The green shadow was very similar to the spiritual beast that was illuminated. If you look closely, you can find that there are wisps of faint black energy on it.
The black energy is very active, constantly swimming, appearing and disappearing in the green shadow.
Qin Shan stared at the black energy inside the green shadow for a long time, his brows deeply furrowed and his face solemn.
"Did Fellow Daoist Qin discover something?"
After a while, True Lord Thunderfire broke the calm and asked Qin Shan.
"Judging from the black energy, it is indeed the work of evil spirits, but no matter how specific the junior is, he cannot tell."
"The source of the black energy, its location in the spirit beast's body, and the solution need to be found by several seniors."
Qin Shan shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist Qin."
True Lord Thunderfire said to Qin Shan with an expressionless face.
"I'll try it."
Just when Lu Xuan was about to step forward to inspect the mutated spiritual beasts, Old Man Baishou suddenly spoke up.
With an expression of absolute confidence in himself, he flew up to a trapped spiritual beast, his throat twitching and weird sounds coming out of his mouth.
Lu Xuan took back his steps and stood quietly, watching the old man communicate with the spiritual beast.
He was not optimistic about the old man's move.
Spiritual beasts of fifth grade and higher have most likely refined their cross bones and can speak human words.
After losing consciousness, it is possible that he only remembers primitive instincts, but the sounds he makes are probably not normal bestiality.
The roars of the beasts fell into the ears of the old man Baishou. They were all notes with unknown meanings. It was impossible to get the slightest information from the roars of the spiritual beasts.
He did not believe in evil, and stood there, with spiritual power surging all over his body, and clear light shining on the spiritual beast.
The spirit beast slowly lowered its body, and the roar in its mouth gradually subsided.
"Is this directly treating the mutation factors of the spiritual beast?"
When everyone saw this scene, similar thoughts came to their hearts.
But as soon as the clear light dissipated, only a bang was heard.
The mutated spiritual beast rushed towards Old Man Baishou, making various roars from its mouth, as if it were crazy.
Old Man Baishou kept trying various treatment methods, but at most they could only temporarily relieve the symptoms of the mutated spirit beast. After a while, the spirit beast returned to its violent state, with little effect.
Old Man Baishou hesitated for a moment, and finally flew back in front of everyone.
"Fellow Taoist Baishou, how is the situation?"
Lord Thunderfire asked aloud.
Among the three monks invited this time, Old Man Baishou has the highest level of cultivation and can treat countless high-level spiritual beasts. Therefore, the three of them have the greatest expectations for him.
But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The scene just now made the three star masters have rough guesses in their minds.
It was only with a little luck that I asked the old man Baishou.
Sure enough, Old Man Baishou's answer made the three of them sink to the bottom of their spirits.
"Sorry, I tried my best."
"The spirit beast has completely lost its mind and cannot communicate normally."
"Although I have several secret techniques for treating all kinds of beasts, I can't figure out the crux of the problem. I can't find the reason why the spiritual beasts are abnormal, so I can't prescribe the right medicine."
"If you accidentally cast the wrong secret technique, it may conflict with the evil things in the spirit beast's body, causing unpredictable consequences."
Old Man Baishou said slowly with an old voice.
The three Thunder Lords had already expected this result, and their expressions were as usual.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist."
With the successive failures of Qing Beast Ancient Mirror and Bai Shou Old Man, the three of them no longer had much hope. They looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.
After Lu Xuan inspected them, he saw that there were many spiritual beasts below, and he had no choice but to kill them on the spot.
These spiritual beasts are all above the fifth level, and together they are a powerful force. In addition, many monks in Tianxing Cave have raised them for many years, so I really want to kill them all, and I can't bear it.
But this is also a helpless move. If these spiritual beasts are allowed to be free, more spiritual beasts may be infected, and it may even be detrimental to all the monks in Tianxing Cave.
"Seniors, fellow Taoist Qin, Mr. Lu, go over and take a look."
Lu Xuan looked calm and said aloud.
"Okay, little friend Lu, feel free to check it out, there is no need to feel any psychological burden."
Lord Thunderfire nodded.
Everyone calmly watched Lu Xuan enter the spiritual energy shield, with no worries in their hearts.
The True Inheritance of the Great Sect and the True Monarch of Nascent Soul are helpless against these mutated spiritual beasts, and they can only get a few clues.
Lu Xuan probably wouldn't be able to escape this ending either.
Under the gaze of Tao Dao, Lu Xuan pretended to check the trapped mutant spirit beast, took out a spirit fruit from the storage bag, and forced it into the spirit beast's mouth.
"What are you doing, fellow Daoist Lu?"
Qin Shan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Perhaps using the spirit fruit to close the distance with the spirit beast? Lower the spirit beast's defense?"
Star Lord Qingmu guessed softly.
"It wouldn't have much effect under normal conditions, let alone now that it has lost its mind."
"It's completely unnecessary."
Old Man Baishou chuckled, with a hint of contempt in his expression.
In his opinion, Lu Xuan's behavior was just a pretense in front of the three star masters, and it was actually meaningless.
"Could it be that feeding a spiritual fruit can find the crux of the problem?"
Regardless of how everyone looked at it, after Lu Xuan and other mutated spiritual beasts swallowed the spiritual fruit, their minds were focused on it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his sea of consciousness.
[Silver Light Tiger, a fifth-grade spiritual beast, is extremely fast and can perform strange escape techniques. Its strength ranks among the top among the same-level monsters. It was invaded by the Three Corpses Worm and gradually lost its mind. ]
[Three Corpses Worm, a kind of demon worm that breeds in the bodies of middle- and high-level evil demons, evolved when the three corpses were killed, invisible and colorless, with mysterious whereabouts, and difficult for Yuanying cultivators to detect. 】
【The three corpse worms love monsters with strong bodies and simple intelligence. They can silently invade monsters, merge into the monsters' souls, occupy their bodies, and use them as nutrients. 】
【Only when soaked in the spiritual fluid of the Zhiyang Spirit Spring can the three corpse worms have nowhere to hide and reveal their bodies. 】
"It is indeed related to the evil spirit!"
"The three corpse worms... This is the first time I have heard of them. Judging from their descriptions, they are indeed rare in the world."
"The stronger the body and the simpler the intelligence, the greater the attraction to it. No wonder it only invaded the monsters, and there was no abnormality in the cultivators in Tianxing Cave."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
