Chapter 110 White-haired old woman
There was a loud bang!
The corridor was filled with dust!
Feng Ling kept her eyes open the whole time, not missing any subtle changes after the explosion. The statue fell down in the thick smoke, and she immediately felt that the invisible pressure disappeared.
My body suddenly felt relaxed.
At this moment, Feng Ling did not hesitate at all and rushed down the stairs like an arrow!
She strode forward, heading straight for the clay statue, and immediately used the mark as soon as she got close!
The clay statue, which was originally painted with colorful paint, now had half of its body burnt, and the black smoke had stained its colorful clothes. Its "beautiful and kind" face was also torn into pieces, especially its pair of black eyeballs, which were oozing bright red blood after they were cracked.
Feng Ling's heart skipped a beat.
She should have expected this. How could the clay statue still be clay? There was clearly flesh and blood growing inside!
So this clay statue will feel pain, get hurt, bleed, and die!
Her teeth and claws can tear open its wounds!
Her bone blade could pierce its throat!
Now is the best time!
Feng Ling's breathing became rapid, and the desire to kill surged in every one of her veins. The statue in front of her was cracking inch by inch, revealing a trembling heart, as if just one knife would be enough to kill it!
At this time, Feng Ling heard someone calling her name.
Some called her "Feng Ling" and some called her "Xiao Ling".
The person who called "Xiao Ling" must be Deputy Captain Pei, because only she could call her out with such a disgusting name.
Feng Ling came back to his senses when he thought of this, and then remembered what Li Qing had said: Know when to stop when taking action.
Enough is enough...
She sensed something was wrong, frowned slightly, and cautiously retreated to the stairs and returned to the safe area.
As soon as one foot stepped into the safe zone, she heard everyone exhale heavily, as if she had just experienced some major crisis.
"I was scared to death..." Pei Xianjue sighed, "You didn't move just now, and I was scared to death."
"I didn't move at all?" Feng Ling was stunned, "But I felt like I only paused for one or two seconds."
"You stopped for at least half a minute!" Huangfu Miaomiao raised her voice nervously.
Why does it take so long?
Feng Ling looked toward the end of the corridor suspiciously—blood and flesh were gushing out of the broken clay statue, as if some alien creature was breaking out of the mud shell, and the crack and heart she had just seen did not exist.
"Maybe it will confuse the enemy's senses when it is dying," Baozi whispered, "Just like my Jixiangtian, it will release pheromones to calm down the enemy's killing intent when it encounters danger. I guess spiritual abilities will have something in common."
"What it just released was definitely not the pheromone that calmed the killing intent." Feng Ling's face was as gloomy as he stared at the clay statue. "It seemed to have given me hallucinations. It was tempting me..."
This feeling was a bit like returning to the Fox Village, and a guess emerged in her mind.
The clay statue had turned into a bloody mass, with dry grass-like hair growing out of the flesh and blood. The whole process was very fast, and the outline of the limbs could be seen in just a few seconds.
Feng Ling frowned and stretched out a hand towards Huangfu Miaomiao, "Grenade."
Huangfu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly took out a grenade from her bag and put it in Feng Ling's hand.
Feng Ling immediately pulled the ring, raised his arm, and threw it out——
boom! ! !
The second explosion filled the tunnel with smoke, and the rock layers on both sides exploded into pieces. Before Feng Ling could see the clay statue clearly, countless black insects flew out of the thick smoke and rushed towards the archway!
Not only that, there were countless skull-head spiders pouring up the stairs like a tide!
Everyone stepped back in shock. The black bugs and spiders actually passed through the archway and entered the safe zone!
Pei Xianjue drew his sword and released flames. This move was very effective against black bugs and spiders, and it burned a large area.
Feng Ling's abilities were useless in this situation. She barely used the bone blade to sweep away a dozen spiders, but as for the black bugs in the sky, there was really nothing she could do about them.
Everyone fought back while retreating until they entered Sanqing Palace, where the black bugs and spiders finally dispersed.
The red fog outside also faded and gradually turned into ordinary grayish-white fog.
The Master of the Labyrinth left.
Everyone in the security guard had a lot of dead black bugs on their bodies, just like a layer of black sesame seeds.
Feng Ling shook off the small black bugs on his clothes and found that his body did not feel as uncomfortable as before.
When I looked up at the others, their expressions were normal.
"We seem to have antibodies against the plague." Feng Ling said, "The fruit is indeed effective after eating it. No wonder the fox demon keeps running up the mountain. I just don't know how long the antibodies can last."
Pei Xianjue took a few breaths, and looked up at her with a speechless look: "You...can you tell me in advance next time? You just threw a grenade suddenly, which really caught me off guard."
"..." Feng Ling was silent for two seconds, then explained, "I lack experience in teamwork, so I forgot it just now. I will tell you in advance next time."
Living alone, one is used to making decisions on one's own, but working with a team requires cooperation and many things require advance notice, which is somewhat difficult for Feng Ling to adapt to.
Pei Xianjue also adjusted quickly. He laughed and said jokingly, "We also gained something. At least we know that the fruit can be immune to the plague virus, and we also know... that grenades can't kill it."
"How about we go and steal some fruits? What if the antibodies become ineffective? That boss releases bugs at any time..." Huangfu Miaomiao was a little scared.
Feng Ling thought for a moment and said, "You guys take a rest first. I'll go see where the maze boss is now."
She found a place to sit down and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, the others subconsciously lowered their voices to avoid disturbing her.
The scene in the corridor appeared in front of Feng Ling, and a red ribbon of mist was winding up the mountain road -
"Missing Mom" quickly caught up with the marked target.
At this moment, it has completely transformed into the form of an old woman, with messy hair that looks like dry and white moss, and colorful clothes that have become charred and tattered in the explosion.
Countless spiders followed it along the way, and black insects flew into its black hole-like eye sockets. It seemed that driving away these poisonous insects that spread diseases was its signature skill.
Feng Ling thought silently: Mental coercion, spreading the plague, what other tricks do you have?
Her eyes followed the white-haired old woman to the top of the mountain, and saw the Minotaur that she had killed with great effort lying asleep under a tree. The wound on its ankle and the scars on its body had all disappeared.
Feng Ling's heart suddenly sank.
How could she forget that the elixir of immortality is the most difficult ability of "Queen Mother of the West". It can revive all the creatures in the entire maze and make them immortal!
The white-haired old woman walked quickly into the ancient tower and suddenly pounced on the altar inside the tower!
There were purple fruits on the table, more vivid and fuller than any they had eaten before.
The old woman opened her seemingly toothless mouth to an incredibly wide extent, almost beyond human limits.
Its tongue and palate are covered with tiny serrations, enough to crush the fruit. It then swallows it in big gulps, eating like a wild beast, the purple-red juice flowing all over its jaw and chest.
Feng Ling looked at this scene in amazement until it stopped and a layer of mud-like scab grew on its skin - and finally it turned back into the graceful and kind statue in the tower.
I'm stuck, I'm stuck... There's still one chapter left and it'll probably be early in the morning, oh! Don't stay up late waiting, just read it tomorrow morning!
