Chapter 106 Three Forms

Feng Ling looked down at the rash on his arm, and then looked at Huangfu Miaomiao whose face was flushed. Is this a plague?

She was full of doubts: "You mean, that old woman is also the Queen Mother of the West? There are two Queen Mothers of the West in the tower?"

"Not two, but two different forms." Li Qing replied.

"Two forms..." Feng Ling frowned, "I understand... The old woman and the clay doll are the same monster... When it is a clay doll, it will release mental pressure, and when it becomes an old woman, it will release plague, making people sick and weak."

Feng Ling murmured with an unpleasant expression: "How do we kill him?"

She had never met such a strong opponent before, who suppressed her without even using a single blow or kick, leaving her unable to raise her head.

Frustration, confusion, bewilderment...all these emotions linger in my heart and I can't find a way out.

At this time, Li Qing spoke again: "The Queen Mother of the West has another image..."

Feng Ling was slightly stunned, then looked up at Li Qing, "What image?"

A glimmer of hope emerged in her heart.

——The game will not leave players with a way out, so the maze Boss is designed into three states. The first two are impeccable, while the third state has huge flaws, in order to provide players with opportunities.

Li Qing pondered and said, "It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that the Queen Mother of the West looks like a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, is good at howling, has disheveled hair and wears a crested bird. She is the God of Heaven and the Five Remnants."

Feng Ling frowned when he heard this, "Leopard tail... Tiger teeth... Si Tian Zhi Li and the Five Remnants..."

Li Qing said: "The Queen Mother of the West in this period is half human and half beast. The primitive chaotic gods in ancient times all have this feature, such as the half-human, half-snake Nuwa. As for the phrase Si Tian Zhi Li and Wu Can, it means that she is the star in charge of plague, disasters, and death. Wu Can means the spirit of cruelty and killing."

The more Feng Ling listened, the uglier his expression became, and the stronger his sense of frustration became.

She felt that this form of Queen Mother of the West seemed stronger than the previous two. Was her understanding wrong? The third form was not the weakness of the maze boss...

There was a sudden noise outside.

Feng Ling turned his head and found that it was the Cat Spider and the Cat Owl who had taken a detour back from the direction of the back pavilion of Sanqing Palace.

When the old woman appeared, they were far away and were not attacked by the plague, but the Boss's pressure that permeated the vicinity still had an impact on them. The hair on their bodies exploded, and they crouched nervously, suffering from severe stress.

Feng Ling saw a fruit held under the cat owl's claws, and another one between the cat spider's palate teeth.

Even if you sense danger, are you reluctant to let go?
These fruits were originally scattered under the tree, but were later swept away by Huangfu Miaomiao in a hurry and brought to Sanqing Palace. There were many of them on the floor tiles.

Feng Ling seemed to have realized something and immediately asked Li Qing: "If these fruits are immortality drugs, can they cure the plague?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, "...It is very likely. According to the setting in myths and legends, people who take the elixir of immortality will be cured of all diseases and live forever."

Feng Ling's mouth curled up slightly. "If you can really live forever, eating one fruit is enough. Why would the fox go up the mountain to steal the fruit again and again? I guess this thing has a time limit, but no matter what, the fruit must have a special effect."

She got up and went out, picked up the purple fruits on the open space outside, carried them back into the hall, then chose the darkest one and peeled off the outer leaves.

The fruit inside is ripe, dark purple, and the skin is very thin. A light pinch with the fingernail will cause a lot of juice to flow out, revealing the purple-red flesh.

Feng Ling pulled out the scimitar from Pei Xianjue's waist, cut a piece of fruit flesh, and put it next to Huangfu Miaomiao's mouth.

But the high fever made Huangfu Miaomiao unconscious and unable to chew normally.

She thought for two seconds, then grabbed the soft flesh with her bare hands, squeezed it hard, and squeezed out a lot of juice, letting the juice drip into Huangfu Miaomiao's mouth. She patiently fed most of the fruit, and used this method of squeezing juice to feed Pei Xianjue and Bao Changzhi again.

The complexion of the three people improved significantly, and the rashes on their bodies also showed signs of subsiding.

"The therapeutic effect of this fruit is better than the player's recovery potion." Feng Ling said.

"It may be a variant of the powerful recovery potion." Li Qing took a look at the remaining fruits. Most of them were still green, and only one was ripe.

He picked up the only remaining ripe fruit and broke it into two halves, one half was big and the other half was small, and then handed the big half to Feng Ling.

"You should eat some too. If you can become immune to the plague virus brought by the Queen Mother of the West, you can find a way to deal with the boss outside." Li Qing said.

Feng Ling took the half fruit, a little hesitant.

Her resistance is much stronger than anyone here. The discomfort caused by the plague has subsided and has little effect on her. Even if she doesn't eat this piece of pulp, she will recover quickly.

But...it will still be very uncomfortable if I get sick again next time.

If she could be completely immune to the virus brought by the other party, her chances of winning might be better.

Thinking of this, Feng Ling picked up the fruit and took a bite.

The fruit is very juicy and your entire mouth will be filled with juice once you bite it.

The taste is a bit sour and strangely cool, and it feels like eating grape flesh with mint candy added. It is soft, cold, and mushy, and it can't really be called delicious.

Feng Ling ate with a frown on her face, and glanced at Li Qing who was sitting opposite her. She found that the green weasel had crawled out from his clothes and was eating the small piece of fruit in his hand bit by bit. It looked very cute.

"It's well-fed." Feng Ling said, "Its fur is shiny and glossy, it must feel good to touch, will it let people touch it?"

Li Qing looked at Feng Ling in surprise, as if he had never expected her to have such an idea.

The weasel grabbed the last bit of fruit flesh and quickly jumped back into his collar, its rejection very obvious.

Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, "It's quite shy."

Li Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I am a little shy."

Feng Ling's mind was now full of the Queen Mother of the West and the elixir of immortality, so he didn't pay much attention to this little episode.

She picked up a few leaves she had just broken off the fruit, hastily wiped the sticky juice off her hands, and said to Li Qing: "Let's continue talking about the three states you just mentioned. How powerful do you think the third state is? Compared with the first two."

Li Qing restrained his expression and looked at Feng Ling seriously, "I think the third state will only be stronger than the first two, not weaker."

"Why?" Feng Ling asked, "Tell me your reasons."

Li Qing said seriously: "This should start with the evolution of the mythical figure Queen Mother of the West. She has different images in different historical periods, which can be roughly summarized into three types, namely -"

He wrote a "1" on the ground with his finger.

"The first type is the mother goddess from ancient times, who controls disasters and plagues. She has boundless magical powers and is omnipotent. She is a fierce and terrifying killing god."

Then he wrote a "1" next to the "2".

"The second is that after the Han Dynasty, the image of the Queen Mother of the West changed from half-human, half-beast to a white-haired old woman, also known as Xi Lao. At this time, she was no longer a killing god, but a lucky god in charge of longevity, and her duties were reduced."
