As the corpse swayed, Zhang Tian discovered a strange large door behind it. It was obvious that to enter the door, the female corpse in front of him had to be dealt with.
"Can you sense her soul?" Zhang Tian looked at Wang Fei beside him.
Wang Fei nodded slightly. "Her soul is very weak, almost gone the moment the wall opened. Therefore, she cannot withstand any attacks. Young Master Zhang, please help her; she is innocent," Wang Fei said.
Although Zhang Tian didn't know why Wang Fei was so sure, the current situation didn't allow him to think too much. "I'll start setting up the formation now. You guys keep her occupied. With Hongyi's strength, a containment formation should be enough to hold her," Zhang Tian said. Zhang Qilin and the others nodded.
"Old Hu, leave her to Fatty. Boss, you just focus on setting up the formation. Fatty is fast and the strongest!" Fatty jumped out at this moment, looking at Wang Fei with full confidence.
Hu Bayi understood. Fatty wanted to show off in front of Wang Fei. Since Fatty wanted to go, Hu Bayi naturally had no objections.
Seeing Old Hu nod, Fatty directly rushed forward. The belly of the Xian Wang's consort began to writhe again, and black corpse bats surged out madly.
"Come on, Fatty isn't afraid of you!" Fatty spread his arms, looking very brave.
Countless corpse bats surged towards Fatty, and the sound of ping pong echoed from Fatty's armor. Zhang Tian didn't hesitate either; he quickly drew a formation. After the formation was drawn, Zhang Tian looked towards Fatty.
Countless black creatures had already surrounded Fatty, making him look completely dark.
"Fatty, lure that corpse over here," Zhang Tian shouted to Fatty.
At Zhang Tian's command, Fatty trembled all over. The next moment, countless black corpse bats were shaken away, and Fatty ran towards Zhang Tian.
"Boss, those monsters seem to have toxins, but they didn't affect me much," Fatty said as he ran.
"It should be the immunity effect from before taking effect," Zhang Tian murmured.
"Here it comes!" As Fatty ran, the corpse also flashed and chased after him. Although the Xian Wang's consort's soul was severely injured, her body was at the Hongyi level. Chasing after Fatty was not a problem.
"Oh my, how can she be so fast?" Seeing Wang Fei chasing after him, Fatty sped up. In almost the blink of an eye, they were inside Zhang Tian's containment formation. Fatty and the Xian Wang's consort stood within the formation.
Wang Fei's body looked fragmented, as if it could shatter at any moment. "Kaka," Wang Fei occasionally made sounds from her mouth. Something inside her stomach seemed to be trying to emerge.
"Formation activate!" Zhang Tian was experienced and wouldn't let this thing birth strange creatures. Upon noticing the abnormality, Zhang Tian immediately activated the formation. As the formation activated, countless white, thread-like things surged out madly. Under Zhang Tian's command, those white threads wrapped around Wang Fei's corpse.
Soon, Wang Fei's hands, feet, and head were all entangled. With a wave of Zhang Tian's hand, the threads seemed to exert force out of nowhere, lifting Wang Fei's corpse into the air, like a hanged corpse.
"Kaka." The corpse still made sounds from its mouth, and its body tried to move, but due to insufficient strength, Wang Fei couldn't move at all. Something still seemed to be writhing inside her stomach. Zhang Tian was now standing in front of Wang Fei.
"She said the蛊虫 (gu worm) is in the esophagus, not the stomach," Yaochi said from the side. "To remove the gu worm, we must start from the mouth."
"Feifei, you're amazing, you can hear this," Fatty became a sycophant at this moment.
Zhang Tian nodded, and a golden light appeared in his hand. He waved the golden light into the female corpse's mouth. The light descended along the esophagus. Because the golden light was very bright, the internal situation could be seen as it descended.
When the golden light reached the center of the esophagus, Zhang Tian noticed something was wrong. He saw a black worm writhing in the center of the female corpse's esophagus. On the other side of the worm, there was a strange circular object blocking the advance of the golden light.
"The so-called gu worm should be here, right? I didn't expect it to survive for a thousand years," Shirley Yang exclaimed, looking at the gu worm in the esophagus.
"How can we get it out?" Zhang Tian was now troubled. After all, he didn't know how to use gu arts. If he acted rashly, it would be counterproductive.
"I have a way," Hu Bayi said from the side.
Zhang Tian looked at Hu Bayi. "Old Hu, tell me."
"It is said that the life and death of a gu worm depend on the person who cast the spell. The reason this gu worm hasn't died might be because the person who cast the spell is also alive. In other words, Wang Fei is likely the one who cast the spell!" Hu Bayi said. His guess was quite advanced.
After Hu Bayi finished speaking, Zhang Tian, Shirley Yang, and even Wang Fei were stunned.
"Hu, this guess..." Shirley Yang looked at Hu Bayi, somewhat surprised.
"The life of a gu worm determines its master. This gu worm is from a thousand years ago, and Wang Fei hasn't completely died, which means the gu worm hasn't died. Therefore, to remove the gu worm, we must ask Wang Fei herself. Moreover, I suspect Wang Fei is lying to us," Hu Bayi said, looking at the trapped Xian Wang's consort.
Yaochi remained silent, knowing that to prove it now, Wang Fei herself had to prove it.
"Kaka kaka." After Hu Bayi finished speaking, the corpse made sounds again. At the same time, a weak voice was transmitted into Yaochi's mind.
"I know," Yaochi nodded and looked at Hu Bayi and the others. "Young Master Hu, Young Master Zhang, I just heard A Qing's words," Yaochi said.
"A Qing?" Zhang Tian and the others were confused.
"A Qing is the name of the Xian Wang's consort, and also the first village girl saved by people from Medicine King Valley. She was also the first person to learn gu arts," Yaochi explained.
"She said the gu worm on her body was deliberately placed there by Xian Wang. She didn't explain the specific details, perhaps because she was too weak. However, she told me that we would find what we are looking for under the stone statues," Yaochi said.
Zhang Tian looked towards the area of the stone statues. He had already damaged those stone statues. However, the ground where the stone statues had stood had left small stone platforms.
"Could it be that she hid the gu arts?" Zhang Tian frowned slightly and walked towards the stone statues.
"Old Hu, please keep an eye on A Qing. I'll go and search," Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi nodded slightly, and Zhang Tian strode towards the stone statues. With a punch from Zhang Tian, a small hole appeared before his eyes.
