Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

Chapter 11

In addition to humans and weirdos, there are naturally other creatures in this world.

For example, the husky-like dog in front of you is one of them.

Weirdness actually does not occupy too many ecological niches, because many weirdos do not require food in the traditional sense.

Because of this, many creatures have survived successfully, and some have even evolved to survive in the wild.

Just like the dogs in front of them, in addition to their original abilities, they can also smell strange smells in advance and avoid them.

but……

"Be careful."

Gu Xing stopped the two people who were about to move forward. The strange book would not miss the target, and there was only this one creature in front of him. Gu Xing suspected that it was a strange creature.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a dog." Jiao En didn't care.

"Be careful."

Niu Dazhuang took out a magic amulet and approached the dog cautiously.

Then, Erha, who was lifting one leg, suddenly stopped and took a step back.

Seeing this, the three of them immediately became vigilant. One took out a weapon and the other pinched a talisman.

"If there is a problem, please be careful!" Niu Dazhuang said solemnly, and at the same time he threw the exorcism talisman in his hand.

His technique was very special. The talisman seemed to turn into a flying arrow in the air, flying straight towards Erha.

The talisman missed, because it started to ignite in mid-air, and Erha also let out a wail. The wail was a bit sharp, not like a dog barking.

But it didn't die there. Instead, it became a little angry under the heavy blow and rushed towards several people.

Niu Dazhuang pulled out a sword from his waist. There was a talisman attached to the sword. Judging from the talismans, it was still a magic talisman.

When Erha got closer, the magic talisman began to burn, and then a strange force enveloped the sword.

The blade of the sword touched the minions, and fire bloomed from the sword. Within one or two rounds, Erha fell to the ground, and black blood flowed out of his body.

But even so, Niu Dazhuang did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he took out another evil talisman and attached it to the sword body. The brief fire continued again, and Niu Dazhuang stabbed Hal's body directly with it.

Under the sword, the corpse actually started to struggle again, but couldn't break free and finally became quiet.

A trace of gray mist invisible to others flew out of the corpse and then got into Gu Xing's arms.

Gu Xing didn't show anything strange, he just looked at Niu Dazhuang's sword and the corpse on the ground.

There was still half a talisman left on Niu Dazhuang's sword, so it stopped burning. This time, he felt relieved and pulled out the sword.

Then, he picked out a long and slender insect from the corpse.

The insect has no eyes or legs, but there is a large mouth with long, thin teeth at the top, which looks a bit scary.

"This is a parasitic toothworm, a mortal-level weirdness that can parasitize animals or humans. The parasitized person will behave abnormally and is easily discovered, so this kind of weirdness is relatively rare, and we don't know where this dog has gone. , and then became parasitized.”

"With the morning bell here, how did these weird things come in?"

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

"Normally, it is impossible to get in, but some strange things will rely on parasitism and other means to cover up with the breath of humans or other creatures. In this way, as long as they are not actively exposed, the morning clock cannot detect it."

Can something like parasitism be discovered?

Gu Xing immediately thought of Yu Qing. Could it be that she was also parasitized?

Not noticing Gu Xing's absence, Niu Dazhuang continued.

"However, if you are extremely close to the morning bell, then the morning bell can also detect something strange. Like the water monkey you met yesterday, it wanted to use water to escape, but it was still caught by the morning bell."

"And this is why we have to walk by the morning bell every time we enter the village, to prevent being parasitized."

Yu Qing often passes by the morning bell, so it seems that this is not the case.

"Also, you have to note that we cannot eat strangely parasitized creatures like these, but we cannot throw them away casually. They must be burned with fire."

"What should we do now? Won't lighting a fire cause something strange?"

"Use this." Niu Dazhuang pointed to the lantern in his hand, then he took some lamp oil from the lantern and dropped it on Erha's body, then lit it.

"The lamp oil in this lamp is extracted from Weiyi's body. It will burn very fast when it encounters weird things. If one day you encounter Weiyi that you can't beat, you can try to use this lamp oil to light it, maybe it can save you. One life.”

"But this thing is relatively rare, so you have to use it sparingly."

The corpse was ignited, and the blue flames burned instantly. The flames disturbed many villagers, and the sound of getting up could be heard.

But the villagers are very self-aware. At most, they watch from a distance by the windows without anyone disturbing them.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have suffered a loss."

"I didn't expect that the two of us have been in the escort team for many years. We are not as cautious as you, a new kid."

The crisis was over, and the two expressed their admiration for Gu Xing.

Gu Xing smiled modestly and said nothing.

After disposing of the body, they continued patrolling, and Niu Dazhuang continued to tell Gu Xing what to pay attention to, as well as some common weirdness and treatment methods.

The strange book shook several times on the way, but Gu Xing didn't see any strange figures.

After a patrol, they returned to the place where the escort team gathered.

There is more than one patrol team. Except for the fixed sentry and the personnel who change guards, the others are rotated.

And now, it's their turn to rest.

Of course, we won't be able to rest for long before they have to take action again.

During this free time, Gu Xing took out the secret book.

Others can't see the secret book, as long as Gu Xing performs well and hides a little. Not afraid of other people finding out.

Opening the book, there were several more pages inside, but they were all filled with dark shadows and question marks, except for one page.

Above is a long, slender worm, not unlike a killed parasitic toothworm.

【Parasitic toothworm】

【Weird biological species】

[It has no eyes or legs, but has teeth. It mostly lives near water. It will move when it encounters living creatures. After swallowing its head, it can become a parasite and control its behavior. 】

[Omitted]

Are they usually born near water?

It seems that I have to be careful when going to the water in the future.

And what does the last bit mean?

Is it possible that he still has the ability to call for advice?

Gu Xing stretched out his hand to touch the page of the book. He didn't feel anything, but he seemed to be stronger physically.

He felt it carefully and found that his second ray of blood had actually condensed into a prototype.

Gu Xing suddenly realized that in addition to giving him extra abilities, the gray mist could also increase his health.

Perhaps, to put it another way, increase his cultivation.

Moreover, thinking about it this way, maybe the fact that he was able to successfully develop blood energy on the first night of practice was not due to his talent, but was actually due to the mysterious book.

It's amazing!

He admired it so much in his heart, and then quietly put the mysterious book into his arms.

And next, it's patrol time again.
