The blue-black night clouds passed by the moon, and briefly retracted the frost-white lamp.

The not-so-deep alley was silent and pitch black, and even the chirping of insects in the summer night stopped abruptly in the thick darkness.

Only Guan'er was left chattering about his glorious deeds for thousands of years.

Song Xianzhi mobilized the aura to gather in his eyes, saw that the old woman had almost reached the end of the alley, he quickly patted Guan Er on the side, and said, "Don't be poor, keep up."

The old woman's speed was not slow at all, the closer she was to the wall at the end of the alley, the faster her steps became.

Song Xianzhi pulled Guan'er and followed him in a few breaths.

The sky was extremely dark here, and the old woman's face became blurred, which slightly reduced the horror.After a while, there was movement on the wall in front of me.

After hearing a few ear-piercing scratching sounds, the original gray earth wall suddenly seemed to have life, and a dark red gap slowly cracked open. Around the gap flowed the same black-red liquid as the corner of the old woman's eyes. There was a pungent stench, like a bloody mouth.

Song Xianzhi held back his nausea and motioned Guan Er to look at the old woman's body.

On the old woman's distorted body, there were many densely pulsating bumps, as if something was eager to break through the skin, making the old woman's old skin almost transparent.

Song Xianzhi's scalp was numb, thinking of something, his face turned pale, and he tugged at Guan Er: "Tell me... what's in her body?"

Guan Er giggled and said, "Whatever it is, just open it and see if it's all right." After finishing the sentence, the knife in his hand was like the wind, and he slashed across the air.

"do not!"

"Don't!" Song Xianzhi stopped quickly, but Guan Er's hand was too fast to stop it in time.

The extremely thin skin was broken as soon as it was cut, and the black body wriggling inside was exposed from the finger-long cut.

The black ball turned and crowded, and finally, a finger-thick millipede fell to the ground.

The ball stretched out on the ground, turning into strips, and the thin shell on its back hardened visibly to the naked eye.

The gap in the old woman's skin was stretched wider and wider, followed by the second and third...

The fragile skin was overwhelmed, and with a muffled tearing sound, the hill-like millipedes rushed out and piled up on the ground.

The old woman's empty skin bag fell to the ground, and was eaten up in an instant.

Malu's black body blended perfectly into the night, crawling in all directions at a high speed, getting closer to where the two were standing.

Before Song Xianzhi could yell out, Guan Er yelled first, but blocked him back.

The two of them staggered and flew up to the roof, and fell down on the beams without strength.

The cluster of long clouds above the night finally drifted past, and the moonlight shone again, illuminating the corners of the alley.

Seeing the moonlight, the millet worm gathered quickly from all around, and crawled into the bottomless gap on the wall in the blink of an eye.

"Oops, the hole is about to close." Song Xianzhi made a gesture to rush over, but Guan Er grabbed his wrist.

"It's too late, don't waste your energy."

When I looked back again, I saw that the hole had been closed, the gray wall had returned to its original state, and the thick black tree shadows were swaying with their teeth and claws, and everything returned to normal.

Song Xianzhi's hair was already wet with sweat, sticking strands to his pale face, he slowly turned his head to look at Guan Er, and asked, "Didn't you say you're not afraid!"

Guan Er was panting, still in shock, and felt aggrieved when he heard the words: "I'm just not afraid of ghosts, that bug looks ugly and disgusting! I don't want to touch it."

There are only two people in a team, and they are all afraid of Malu.

Conquering the space-type treasure can only be obtained from its owner, so the two of them studied for a long time, but they couldn't find a way to open the wall, so they had to fail.

It was quiet outside the inn late at night, only a few fallen leaves swirled occasionally and walked along the ground.

On the way back, Song Xianzhi had already told Tang Tang about the situation with a jade card, but there seemed to be a sudden situation on their side, and then they lost contact.

In addition to Shen Duo and Yan Shu, there are two disciples keeping vigil at the inn.

When they entered the door, two disciples were leaning against the pillars in the front hall, their heads tilted and they had already fallen asleep.

Song Xianzhi went back to his room and changed his clothes. When he went downstairs, he accidentally kicked a half-person-high decorative porcelain vase at the corner.

The porcelain bottle shook on the spot a few times, and then fell from upstairs with a snap, the crisp and ear-exploding sound was particularly abrupt in the dead silence.

Soon there was movement from the room behind him, Yan Shu quietly opened the door, and when he saw that the person outside the door was Song Xianzhi, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes and ran out.

"Brother, what happened?"

Song Xianzhi smiled embarrassedly, and said: "It's nothing, I just bumped into something accidentally, you should go back to sleep."

As he said that, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Duo's door, but there was still no movement.

"Brother, are you looking for Brother Shen?" Yan Shu followed his gaze, then turned around and said, "He just went out not long ago."

"out?"

Song Xianzhi pushed open the door of Shen Duo's room, and he saw that the bedding was neat and empty.

So late, where can he go?

Just as he was thinking, Guan Er who was waiting downstairs suddenly called him.

Song Xianzhi pushed Yan Shu back to the room, told him not to run around and went downstairs.

Guan Er was standing with his back to him, standing in front of the two disciples who were watching the night, bent over, not knowing what he was doing.

"What's wrong?" Song Xianzhi leaned over to look.

Guan Er turned around, pointed at the two disciples, and lowered his voice: "I really slept like hell."

Only then did Song Xianzhi realize that the two disciples were abnormal.

The movement he made just now was not small, and the cultivator has sharp eyes and ears, so how could he not wake up.

The two looked at each other, and started to call for wake-up service at the same time, but although the two disciples were breathing steadily, they couldn't wake up no matter how they called, and they were in a deep sleep.

"Forget it, let's carry it back to the house first, let's talk about it when they come back at dawn." Guan Er lost his patience.

"Fine……"

Then the two supported each other and dragged the two disciples upstairs.

At this time, the door of the inn was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and the night wind blew in, and there was a sound of chaotic footsteps.

Song Lianzhi stood on the stairs and looked back, only to see a red figure stumbling in from the door, his footsteps a little hurried.

The man seemed to be injured, with one hand on his shoulder, half of his sleeve was missing, he was panting heavily, and kept looking back.

"Xu Xiao?"

Song Xianzhi recognized him.

"Aren't you in Zhendong with Tang Qian? Why did you come back alone? What happened?"

Xu Xiao was injured on his arm, the pain made him dizzy, and when he heard Song Xianzhi's voice at first, he thought it was an illusion.

"Song, Song title?"

Song Xianzhi saw that his condition was not very good, so he temporarily put the disciple who was being held up on the stairs, and quickly went downstairs to support him.

"You bleed too much, eat this blood coagulation pill first." Song Xianzhi took out the blood coagulation pill from his ring and handed it to his mouth.

Xu Xiao woke up a little bit, staring at the blood coagulation pill in a daze, but refused to open his mouth for a long time.

Song Xianzhi thought that he was still worrying about the previous things.

"What are you doing in a daze? You don't take the medicine that saved your life, and you hate me so much?" After finishing speaking, he stuffed the medicine into his mouth without saying a word.

"I..." Xu Xiao swallowed the medicine, watching him hesitate to speak.

Song Xianzhi looked at his embarrassed appearance, and asked again: "What happened? Where is Tang Qian?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao's expression became sluggish in an instant, her tone was still full of fear, her lips trembled, and she said: "Tang Qian, he... is dead..."

"What?!" Song Xianzhi and Guan Er who was not far away said in unison.

Tang Qian, as Tang Tang's distant cousin, also appeared several times in the original book. Although he was a small cannon fodder, he did not die.

Xu Xiao buried her face in her hands, as if she didn't want to recall that scene again, her voice trembled: "We..."

"Just now, two people came into the alley, and Tang Qian and I followed them all the way, and then saw a hole in the wall at the end of the alley..."

"Those two people are going to go into the cave... Tang Qian insists on following, but I think the situation inside is unclear, and it's not appropriate for us to go in alone, so I told him not to go."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiao's voice was rarely choked up, not at all like the domineering him in his usual days.

"Yeah, but he didn't listen, he insisted on going in... As soon as he stepped in, a few millipede worms half the height of a person rushed out."

"Tang Qian couldn't dodge in time, and was shot by the venom of those insects, and his face melted on the spot..."

Thinking of that scene, Xu Xiao felt a chill.

The half-human-tall millipede worms can grow to this extent and even attack people, presumably someone used some tricks to train them.

Song Xianzhi saw that his condition was not well, so he didn't ask any further, but asked, "Did you get bitten?"

Xu Xiao shook his head, and let go of his hand covering his arm. The Blood Congealing Pill had taken effect, and the bleeding had stopped, revealing a deep bone-deep wound.

It was a sword wound, and a piece of flesh and blood was cut off.

"After the moon came out, those worms returned to the cave. I was not injured. Later, on the way back, I met a man in black, and he stabbed me with a sword." Xu Xiao's face was pale, and while speaking, Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Have you seen what that person looks like?"

Xu Xiao shook his head: "That person may have reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, or even the stage of Cave Void. I can't see his face clearly."

There is a difference in coercion between realms, and those with low realms are often suppressed.

Therefore, many powerful cultivators who have entered the Fusion and Two Vehicle periods are usually not easy to be noticed by others.

Speaking of the man in black, Song Xianzhi unconsciously thought of Shen Duo.

But Xu Xiao has no grudges against him, and it is impossible for him to attack someone at this moment.

"Heal your wounds first, and we'll inform the others. The man in black is of unknown origin, so he must be a hidden danger."

After carrying the two unconscious disciples into the house, Song Xianzhi kept Guan Er behind and went out by himself.

Tang Tang, Bai Jingyi and two other disciples were all in a long alley in the town.

I don't know why the jade cards of several people can't be contacted. I'm afraid they have encountered some difficult problems.

Song Xianzhi walked with his sword and quickly found their position.

Because it is in the town, the market is bustling, and many shops are built very high. Many places in the alleys cannot be illuminated by the moon, forming many large dark corners.

According to preliminary observations, these millipedes don't seem to be able to move in places with light. The large area of ​​dark corners in this alley obviously provides them with good conditions.

Tang Tang and the others should have been trapped because of this.
