Chapter 98: Pupa Girl

"！！！！"

Several people were already guarding against those dozens of corpses, and at this moment, seeing this situation, they were all shocked.

Without thinking too much, the people close to the corpses at this time were all first-rate experts who had been famous in Paojianghu for a long time, and they made reactions by instinct!

Lao Qifeng secretly operated internal energy, and a "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" was ready to go.

Several other experts also raised their weapons and operated internal energy, wanting to take advantage of the fact that these Gu insects had not crawled out, and destroy them together with the corpses.

Just as several people were about to make a move, a figure appeared in front of them suddenly and waved his hand.

"Everyone, wait a moment." Li Miao said.

Several people were blocked for a moment, and their moves were a beat slow, but they saw that those corpses had no movement after raising their heads, so they stopped.

"Leader Liu, you come down from the platform first." He said to the Kongtong Sect leader.

The Kongtong leader followed suit and took back the foot that stepped on the platform.

As soon as he came down, the heads of those corpses slowly drooped.

"Hero Li, this is?" Lao Qifeng asked.

Li Miao didn't pay attention to him first, walked up to pinch the face of a corpse, lifted it up, and looked at it carefully.

Afterwards, in the shocked eyes of everyone, he reached two fingers into the hole on the corpse’s face and pinched out a "hissing" insect.

Everyone felt their hair stand on end, and a few people with little Paojianghu experience felt their stomachs churning, almost vomiting.

"Oh, these things are called 'Pupa Girls'." Li Miao looked for a while, and then said indifferently.

He rubbed the insect in his palm, and it turned into a powder, which he sprinkled on the ground.

"Pupa... Pupa Girl?" Lao Qifeng asked.

"Oh, it’s actually the same nature as the soldiers and concubines who were buried with the big figures. They are both the guards of the mausoleum and the raw sacrifices of these big figures." Li Miao replied.

"Choose a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, peel off the skin and flesh of the five senses, and 'raise' various Gu insects in the body while still alive, and hang her life with soup medicine every day."

"Let her taste the pain of these Gu insects nesting, preying, and gnawing on flesh and blood in the body in a state of loss of five senses. After three years, the dead are not 'pious' enough to the Miao King, and the living are qualified 'Pupa Girls'."

Li Miao had been collecting witchcraft for many years for Li Xiaosi. The origin of this "Pupa Girl" was seen inadvertently. Because it was too cruel and strange, the impression was deep.

At this moment, he didn't describe any details, just said it roughly, and the people present felt a little unbearable.

"So... so cruel..." Yin Minjun murmured.

Li Miao turned his head and glanced at her: "This hasn't reached the main point yet."

"When the 'Pupa Girl' is refined, the burial begins."

"These 'Pupa Girls' who have lost their five senses are placed in front of the Miao King’s coffin to kneel, and the tomb is sealed."

"After they are chosen, someone will tell them that this is a ritual for the Miao King’s resurrection. As long as they are pious enough, the Miao King will wake up in their prayers, restore their five senses, and give them and their families blessings."

"So, in this empty tomb, these 'Pupa Girls' silently prayed in their hearts while enduring the pain of a thousand cuts in their bodies."

"The five senses are lost, they don't know the time, they don't know if their companions around them are still alive, and they don't know how many holes have been broken by Gu insects on their bodies. What remains is only false hope and endless pain."

"Until death."

Li Miao’s flat voice echoed in the empty hall, but for a while, no one responded.

Everyone had seen life and death, but killing is just a point of the head, and they had never seen such a cruel act, so they were choked for a while and couldn't speak.

After a while, Lao Qifeng calmed down first and said to Li Miao: "Hero Li, what’s going on with these corpses raising their heads? I checked just now, and the corpse oil has condensed on the corpses, so they should be dead."

"They are dead, but the Gu insects in the body are selected by secret methods." Li Miao said.

"There are many varieties, forming a set of patterns that can swallow each other and circulate by themselves in these corpses, and can survive for a hundred years in a state of suspended animation."

"There should be a mechanism set on this platform for placing the coffin. As long as someone steps on it, it will release some kind of medicine, causing the Gu insects in the corpse to wake up and drive the corpse to make movements."

"If Leader Liu stepped on it completely just now, these Gu insects would wake up together, break the corpse, and attack all living things. After a hundred years without eating, I’m afraid these Gu insects are very hungry."

"And if several people attacked these corpses just now, if they couldn't crush all the corpses in an instant, the smell emitted by the Gu insect corpses would also wake up all the Gu insects in other corpses."

Hearing Li Miao’s words, several people also understood that they had walked through the gate of hell just now, and only felt cold.

Witchcraft is indeed strange and hard to defend against. Just now, a Gu insect harmed the life of a second-rate expert. If the Gu insects in these dozens of corpses all ran out, I don't know how many of the people present could survive.

It’s just that there is no way back, and the hall is empty. If you don't explore this coffin, how can you find the clue to the way out?

Li Miao smiled: "The Miao border is isolated from the Central Plains, Paojianghu doesn't understand witchcraft, and witchcraft doesn't understand how to defend against martial arts."

"Don't step on this platform, right?"

With that, Li Miao made a jump, jumped a foot high, and like a fallen leaf, swayed in the air, and landed on the coffin hanging by iron chains.

"Elder Yin, lend me your sword." Li Miao said.

Yin Minjun heard this, took off her sword, and threw it to Li Miao.

Li Miao took the sword and drew it out of its sheath.

Pretending to strike with all his strength, he cut off an iron chain binding the coffin with one sword.

"Connect the iron chains, don't let them fall on the platform." Li Miao said, picking the iron chain aside with the sword tip.

Lao Qifeng stepped forward to catch the iron chain, glanced at the fracture, but was shocked in his heart.

This iron chain is composed of rings as thick as two fingers, and Li Miao could cut it off with one sword.

This sword technique is afraid that it is close to the top level. It seems that the ordinary hard-body technique he said is hiding his clumsiness. This sword technique alone is enough to compete with him.

But he didn't know that Li Miao spent more effort on the strength of this sword than on the sword itself.

It is actually quite difficult for Li Miao to pretend to be at Lao Qifeng’s level.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

After a while, the iron chains binding the coffin fell one after another, and were caught by Lao Qifeng and put aside.

Li Miao also put on a look of uneven breathing, adjusted his breath for a while, and lifted the coffin lid.

"Hmm?" He made a light sound.

"How is it?" Lao Qifeng asked eagerly.

"Empty." Li Miao said.
