CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: A DARKENED BROW

It turns out that after being diluted, the color of this thing quickly fades.

To be precise, the Gu insects are too small, invisible to the naked eye, and once diluted and separated, they become very hard to detect.

Shen Wang also discovered that these Gu insects, when exposed to light, seemed stimulated and frantically burrowed into the noses and mouths of nearby living beings.

Those slower ones vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked up at the sky.

This thing must fear sunlight and cannot survive long under the sun.

The original surge of Yin evil Qi was supposed to protect these insects, preventing them from being instantly killed.

However, as the black Qi dissipates and disappears under the light, these Gu insects will also face death unless they quickly find a host.

Shen Wang closed his eyes and used the spiritual divine techniques from the Black Emperor Scripture to sense the changes outside.

He sealed with his hands, a white light flickered in his brow, and he murmured in the dark: "Water Spirit Sense!"

His sensing connected with the water attribute spiritual Qi in the void, which then anchored his sensing power, allowing it to penetrate to a micro level.

For a moment, not only the nearby plants but even dust particles could be sensed by Shen Wang, including the originally minute and imperceptible poisonous Gu.

Most of these poisonous Gu began entering the seven orifices of nearby bandits and quickly injected through the pores, surging towards their foreheads, starting to corrupt everyone’s spirit.

"Possessed!"

A term used by ordinary people popped into Shen Wang’s mind as he sensed the foreheads of the corrupted individuals beginning to emit evil Qi, with their glabellas rapidly turning black.

The chaotic crowd began to gradually calm down; their strength was too weak to notice the anomalies.

Not to mention these ordinary bandits, even among Shen Wang and his group at the time, there were Ninth Grade Grandmasters who failed to detect this Gu poison.

Shen Wang estimated that even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators and grandmasters of the same level might not be able to detect it immediately.

"The concentration of this Black Poison is definitely higher than last time, a bit of a waste."

After understanding the situation with the Black Poison Gu, Shen Wang regretted throwing it all out.

Looking at this situation, dividing it into portions could have poisoned more people.

He thought regretfully and continued to observe.

The high-grade Innate Grandmaster poisoned by him was staring at the empty ground pieces, frowning at the ancestral home and saying, "Shen Wang, don’t think that pretending to be mysterious can scare us!"

He thought Shen Wang was deliberately trying to scare them, intending to exhaust their energy.

"Eighth Leader, why is black Qi coming from your face?"

A grandmaster beside him looked at the black Qi exuding from his face in terror, appearing fierce.

"Black Qi?"

The Eighth Leader turned his head and saw the people nearby with black Qi surfacing on their faces, especially at the glabella, seeming to have a black worm wriggling.

"Eighth Leader, I feel so sick."

Another person expressed discomfort.

The Eighth Leader, seeing his subordinates in similar situations, felt a chill: "No good, there’s something wrong with that thing just now!"

The eyes of the people nearby began to change severely, becoming somewhat dazed, like daydreaming.

"Quick, someone come!"

The Eighth Leader shouted loudly for assistance.

Just after finishing, someone let out an odd cry and drew a knife to slash at the companion beside them.

The knife struck the armor, ringing out with a clang.

But someone screamed that they had a snake on them, weirdly removing their armor, only to be split in two by their companion, the scent of blood rampant.

The next moment, more people’s eyes turned abnormal and reddened, lashing out at those next to them.

"Kill!"

"Monsters, there are monsters!"

The Gu poison began to take effect, plunging the poisoned people into an illusion realm, their six senses confused, seeing everything turn into demons and ghosts while their minds became hazy, instinctively launching counterattacks.

"What is this poison?"

The Eighth Leader also lost his senses and shouted in fear within the illusion realm.

In the illusion realm, normal things turned into demons and ghosts, and they mistakenly believed the armor on their bodies was something harming them.

Compared to regular mutual killing, falling into the illusion realm was more terrifying.

They didn’t know what they were doing in the real world; one by one, they took off their armor and attacked each other; in an instant, over a dozen people were killed by their own kind.

The strong ones were fine for the time being, but they became more lethal to others; this newly appointed Eighth Leader acted at close range, the armor couldn’t withstand, often taking one blow to one person.

The noise of slaughter and screams of terror intensified, throwing the entire scene of over a hundred people into chaos.

Shen Wang watched, tongue-tied; this thing was so fierce, he didn’t need to do anything – they’d self-destruct in mutual slaughter.

The commotion was significant; others were already rushing over.

Gong Yu rushed to the front, shouting, "Old Eight, what are you doing!"

Old Eight couldn’t hear at all; instead, due to the powerful aura, in his illusion realm Gong Yu turned into a Great Demon; he roared, "I’m not afraid of you, die for me!"

"Damn it, have you all gone crazy?"

Gong Yu slapped the Eighth Leader back and stepped on him, coldly said, "Come to your senses."

He didn’t notice that the people who came with him had their glabellas gradually turning black.

"Everyone, control them, these guys are insane!"

Gong Yu found the Eighth Leader struggling and quickly commanded others to act; otherwise, if this continued, their people would end up killing each other.

He brought more people, three against one, quickly controlling each crazy individual.

Inside the ancestral home, Shen Wang found that the poisoned individuals were even infecting people they came into contact with, making him grimace.

"This thing is potent poison!"

He regretted throwing them all out earlier, but seeing the poison could spread, it wasn’t a waste after all.

Crackling sounds.

Yun Conghui came over holding a hammer magical artifact, seeing the chaotic scene and frowning, "What’s going on, why are they fighting each other?"

"Humph, it’s impossible for them to kill each other willingly; it must be that turtle hiding inside causing this."

Gong Yu’s eyes were sinister as he looked towards the ancestral home.

"They must be poisoned!"

Ge Changzhuang appeared amidst a gust of wind, glanced around, and frowned, "Beware, this poison might still spread."

Just as he said this, someone began acting abnormally in front of Gong Yu and others, exhibiting the poisoning process.

"No good, this poison can indeed continue to spread, everyone step back," Yun Conghui warned.

"It’s too late."

Shen Wang’s cold laughter echoed, "It’s not just them; you all can’t escape either."

He had already sensed part of the Gu poison spreading towards these three, but both Ge Changzhuang and Yun Conghui had Thunder Attribute Power, which eliminated most of the Gu poison.

"Ah! Don’t come near!"

"Demon, die!"

Quickly, those who came with Gong Yu also seemed to go crazy, declaring they were slaying demons while actually attacking their fellows.

"Their spirits have been veiled in ignorance, they’ve lost their rationality."

Yun Conghui hastily slapped a defense talisman on herself, sweating profusely, "I underestimated him, he even knows poison."
