After hearing the mission, Rong Mo was not in a high mood and responded lightly, "Say..."

It looked like he was still angry.

"Dad, don't be angry," Bai Tuanzi used his little paw to tug on Rong Mo's sleeve and coaxed, "Maybe Xiu Jin has some reasons."

Bai Tuanzi doesn't care what the difficulties are, mainly because he is afraid that the host will ruin it if he disagrees.

And if Rong Mo is unhappy, he is the one who suffers.

Rong Mo gritted his teeth and pulled out his sleeves angrily: "The reason? Only if he becomes a eunuch can I forgive his behavior of seeking death."

"………",too horrible…

Xiu Jin, you're done. Bai Tuanzi silently lit the wax.

"Talking about the mission, don't mention his bad luck." Hearing that bitch man made him annoyed.

Bai Tuanzi smacked his lips. He was angry because he didn't get close to you. Seeing the flames swaying in Rong Mo's pupils, he looked like a cat with exploded fur.

It is better to be cautious in what you say and do.

Bai Tuanzi honestly reported and found out, "The insect Zheng Xiuan hid is called the Golden Cicada Gu. It is a very rare kind of Gu. The feeding method is extremely harsh. It is called the King of Gu. It often appears in folk rumors. I heard that eating it has Miraculous effect, there are not many records in the documents”

"Another legend?" Rong Mo thought for a moment, "You said he could see my face, could it be because of the golden silkworm Gu?"

Before coming into contact with the Gu insect, Zheng Xiuan saw the same thing as others.

And what’s going on with this illusion?

Rong Mo closed his eyes and opened them again. Blood spread between his pupils, like a blooming red rose.

Looking around, nothing has changed.

Ghost pupils can see through appearances to see the essence, and the environment they are in is real.

So why didn't others notice that he had changed his face?

They can't be hallucinating only when they look at him, right?

Ha ha…

The idea is a little too ridiculous.

He is not the chosen one, why should we only target him?

Rong Mo inadvertently twitched the corners of his lips and was so absorbed in thinking that he didn't notice Huang Da, who was standing next to him and watching for a long time.

"Hello, Brother Rong?"

"Huh?" His thoughts suddenly came back to him. Huang Da held up the rice cake he brought from the Wu Village and waved it in front of him.

"anything?"

"It's nothing." Huang Da smiled friendly and handed the wine to Rong Mo, "Would you like a couple of sips to warm yourself up?"

Huang Da had good intentions. The river water was too cold and the temperature in the tomb was low. It would be easy to catch a cold if the temperature did not return to normal.

"Thanks"

Seeing someone take it, Huang Da chuckled, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned his head away, and his heart skipped a beat in fright.

Er Mazi's body was submerged in the darkness, and the flickering flames illuminated his face in half-darkness. His eyes were so dark that he exuded a gloomy aura, which made him look particularly strange in this ancient tomb.

Huang Da moved his steps, and Er Mazi's eyes were glued to him, staring straight at him.

Like a warning...

Huang Da feels that Er Mazi's eyes are scarier than a ghost now. He has been in this business for a long time and his intuition about danger is accurate.

His eyes were dull, his face was bloodless, and he didn't look like a living person.

The more he looked, the more eerie it became, and Huang Da couldn't help but touch his amulet.

He looked at Zheng Xiuan, and coincidentally, Zheng Xiuan also noticed Er Mazi.

Looking across Er Mazi's body, Zheng Xiu'an stood up and hooked Huang Da's shoulders, taking him aside, laughing and cursing, "You drink less, otherwise you will die if you don't see the wine. If you drink too much, you will get into trouble."

As he spoke, he blinked at Huang Da, who immediately catered to him, "Don't worry, Boss Zheng. I know what I know, and I can't do more."

The two of them cleverly avoided Er Mazi. Zheng Xiuan pulled Huang Da not far away and whispered: "Do you think Er Mazi is weird?"

Huang Da nodded vigorously.

That's so weird.

It's like he's a different person from the moment we see him again. Whether it's his eyes, tone or actions, it gives people a sense of pressure.

The strangest thing is his attitude towards Rong Mo.

Too good to be normal.

Zheng Xiuan looked solemn and said: "I suspect he was poisoned."

"insanity?"

Zheng Xiu'an covered Huang Da and secretly glanced back. Fortunately, Er Mazi was only looking at Rong Mo and didn't notice them.

"Please keep your voice down and listen to me. The bug that controls Chen Dalong is called the Three Corpse Gu. People who are infected by this Gu will turn into living corpses and attack living things like zombies."

"You suspect Er Mazi is..."

"No, his symptoms are different from Dalong's. I suspect that Er Mazi has been poisoned by something else."

Huang Da opened his eyes wide, and his heart went crazy. There were rumors that the art of witchcraft was popular in Qingshu a long time ago, but those were just rumors. How old was this? Let alone rumors, even if they were true, they would have been brought to him. In the coffin...

coffin…

Huang Da took a breath, frightened by the thoughts in his heart and stuttered, "You, how do you know?"

"Mira"

Mira is a rare witchcraft inheritor who knows far more than they think.

Huang Da looked at Mira, who had been chattering away, and swallowed.

So, did Zheng Xiuan already know that there would be poisonous insects in this ancient tomb?That's why I found such a person.

"Are you sure that Er Mazi's body is caused by Gu insects and not possessed by evil spirits?"

It's a bit too exaggerated to be able to change a person's temperament drastically, right?

He is more willing to believe that Er Mazi is possessed by a ghost.

Knowing that Huang Da didn't believe it, Zheng Xiu'an took out an egg from his pocket and stuffed it into Huang Da's hand. "You'll know if you try it? Give this to Er Mazi."

"Will he be fine if he eats it?"

Zheng Xiuan glanced at him speechlessly, "He can't eat. Didn't you notice that he hasn't eaten for a long time?"

After what Zheng Xiu'an said, Huang Da recalled that from the time he met Er Mazi until now, he had only drank two mouthfuls of water, and the water he drank was still the water from the tomb.

Thinking hard.

Huang Da got goosebumps all over his body.

Zheng Xiu'an raised her chin and motioned for him to come over. Huang Da walked towards Er Mazi and smiled hard at the person, "Brother Ma, you have worked hard together, please make up for it."

He had never been so polite to anyone before. The gaze falling on him was so cold that it hurt people, and even his voice had no warmth.

"I'm not hungry"

Huang Da looked back at Zheng Xiu'an with a grimace. Zheng Xiu'an waved at him, meaning that Er Mazi must accept it.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you're not hungry. You take it first!" Huang Da stuffed the eggs into Er Mazi's pocket and ran over as if running away.

Er Mazi took out the eggs from his pocket and looked up in Rong Mo's direction.

Thinking about whether to give the egg to Rong Mo, the young man felt something and rolled his eyes at him.

"..."

Er Mazi silently put away the eggs.

The small team spent a lot of energy in the water and temporarily rested in the tomb passage, gathering around the fire to ward off the cold.

Er Mazi himself sat not far away, his eyes always looking at Rong Mo.

Huang Da stretched out his hand to warm his eyes and looked at Er Mazi from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered.

The whole person feels like sitting on pins and needles.

After he moved his position several times, Liu Wen finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Huang Da, do you have lice on your butt? Can't you sit still?"

"No, it's not..." Huang Da said bitterly. Just thinking about the addition of a dangerous thing in the team made him feel uncomfortable.

"I was thinking about something haha"

He stood up with a haha, walked close to Zheng Xiuan, and asked in a low voice, "Give him the eggs and then what?"

"Wait until he goes to sleep and then steal the eggs."

"Sleep..." Huang Da glanced at Er Mazi, his eyes widened, and he was in the best spirits of anyone else.

I think it's okay to stay up like this for a few days.

Do you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to go to bed?

"What if he doesn't sleep?"

"...", good question...

Zheng Xiuan opened her lips, "You can ask Er Mazi to give the eggs to Rong Mo."

They just want to see what's inside the egg, and it doesn't matter who opens it.

Er Mazi was unprepared for Rong Mo, and he only wanted to be nice to Rong Mo, so he might as well just give in to her.

So not long after, Huang Da came to Er Mazi again and said hesitantly: "Brother, have you eaten the eggs I gave you just now?"

Er Mazi shook his head, his eyes filled with dead silence.

"That's it. I originally wanted to give one to brother Rong Mo, but I didn't bring enough. If you don't want to eat, can you..."

He scratched his head sheepishly, and Ermazi took out the egg from his pocket knowingly.

Sure enough, Er Mazi was very talkative when it came to Rong Mo.

Could it be that Gu insects like Rongmo?

Huang Da took the egg and walked towards Rong Mo under Er Mazi's direct gaze.

"Brother, come and make up for it"

Rong Mo glanced at the egg in Huang Da's hand and said, "No, you can eat it yourself."

"No, I'll take one for you."

Huang Da slid down, and before Rong Mo could refuse, he knocked his head and started to peel off the eggshell.

The moment the eggshell fell, Huang Da's face turned pale. It was very obvious under the firelight, and you could easily see the shock in his eyes.

The egg in his hand had jagged whites, clearly showing that it had been eaten by some kind of insect.

"You egg..." Rong Mo moved his lower lip.

"Oops," Huang Da yelled, and the egg fell to the ground. He bent down and muttered, "Look, I was too careless and didn't catch it. Brother Rong, I'm really sorry."

"...", what are you doing?

He would be a fool if he couldn't see such a carved movement.

Seeing Huang Da "accidentally" crush the egg, Rong Mo raised his eyebrows and vaguely felt something was wrong.

He quietly retracted his hand, "It's okay, I didn't want to eat it at first."

Huang Da said a few more words of apology and ran to Zheng Xiu'an. Seeing this, Rong Mo pushed out the white dumplings and said, "Go and listen to what they said."

"okay…"

The white dumpling flew away with its tail wagging.

Huang Da was very excited and restrained himself from slapping Zheng Xiu'an's arm.

In contrast, Zheng Xiuan was much calmer, "Can you please calm down?"

"The egg has been bitten!"

He had already guessed that people who were poisoned were afraid of fire and light and would not be hungry. The deeper the poisoning, the more severe the symptoms.

When he was on the altar, Er Mazi pulled the rope without holding the torch, and now he was so far away from the fire.

I'm afraid it has been poisoned for a long time, at least before they met.

"Let's just pretend we don't know and keep an eye on his situation at all times." Zheng Xiuan paused and said, "As a last resort, tie him up and hand him over to Mira."

"it is good"

Bai Tuanzi opened his mouth in an O shape. Hearing some terrible secret, he hurriedly flew back to Rong Mo.

"What did you hear?"

"Big! I heard them say that Er Mazi was bewitched!"

"………",insanity?

Rong Mo raised his head and met each other's eyes. Er Mazi was sitting not far away and raised the corners of his lips towards him.

Is it because of the Gu insects that Er Mazi's temperament changed drastically?

Then why does he feel like facing Xiu Jin?
