“How could this witch’s gu be so powerful?”

Faced with the sudden swarm of gu bees, the valley was already in chaos. Countless flesh-cutting artisans were filled with panic, scattering and fleeing, hiding in the wooden houses, sealing doors and windows, crawling under beds, shivering, begging their grandfathers and grandmothers, not even daring to peek out.

But at this time, outside the valley, including some who were slow to escape, and those who couldn't escape due to their status, hesitated slightly and were surrounded by the bee swarm.

Several people, terrified, waved their knives wildly, chopping randomly. They did manage to knock down a few, but after only a couple of swings, they felt excruciating pain on their faces, necks, and bodies. Their complexions quickly turned black, and they collapsed softly to the ground.

This unusual scene startled even Zhuang Erchang’s master, the old man nicknamed Iron Bridge Sun. His eyebrows twitched violently, his tone quickened, his voice becoming strained and strange, with a whirlwind swirling around him.

As the bee gu approached, they were submerged by the whirlwind around him, falling to the ground like scattered black beans.

He not only protected himself but also shielded those around him from the poisonous bees.

But he dared not relax in the slightest. For him, protecting himself was not difficult, but protecting others was. The key was that each time he used this skill, it would consume a bit of his cultivation. The poisonous bees were endless, so when would it end?

“Master, someone is coming…”

His ears were filled with buzzing, the sound of the poisonous bees flapping their wings almost blowing on his face.

Even Zhuang Erchang was somewhat alarmed, and he hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

Old Man Sun stared intently outside the valley, and couldn't help but be shocked. Outside the valley, the bee swarm was rushing over like a tide.

Dense and dark, like a chaotic black mist, behind the bee swarm, a faint shadow could be vaguely seen, with its head wrapped, vaguely dressed as a witch, slowly playing the flute as it walked into the valley.

“To catch bandits, first catch the king. Kill him!”

Someone beside Old Man Sun shouted in a deep voice, suddenly letting out a whistle.

Suddenly, he drew a knife from his waist. He was also a Shou Sui (Year Watcher) who had refined his five viscera. He strode forward, waving his knife, and pieces of gu bees were cut in half, falling to the ground.

Some passed through the blade light and stung him. Relying on the Shou Sui’s strong body, he was able to endure it, unable to stop his momentum.

“Chi chi chi…”

His rush was as fast as lightning, even attracting many bee swarms to chase him, reducing the pressure on other places.

The Shou Sui also understood in his heart that he could withstand the gu poison for a while, but he couldn't be immune. No one knew when he would collapse, so he cherished every moment. Rushing, he reached the edge of the valley and chopped down at the witch with his knife.

This knife struck the opponent's head solidly.

Unexpectedly, it was surprisingly easy. The opponent's head split in half with a crash, and his neck seemed extremely fragile, broken in an instant, even the entire body was torn apart.

But the scene of the witch screaming and blood splattering did not happen. Instead, countless bees suddenly flew out of his body.

In the buzzing sound, he smelled a dry, rotten smell between his mouth and nose, and he suddenly felt cold all over, understanding what was happening.

“This is not a witch…”

“This is a dead person, a beehive made from a human body…”

“…”

He seemed to have killed this person with a single blow, but in reality, he had chopped into a beehive. What would be the result?

The Shou Sui only had time to give a wry smile before he was suddenly submerged by the bee swarm. Immediately afterward, his body fell to the ground. From a distance, one could only see dense bees crawling on him, his body occasionally struggling, like a bulge rising in the tide.

“That’s a corpse-reared bee…”

Watching his miserable state from afar, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Seeing this, the Fa Wang (Dharma King) of the One Coin Sect cried out in a hoarse voice, “There is a vicious gu technique among the witches that involves planting gu bees inside a human body, hollowing out the human flesh and blood to raise bees.”

“After death, they can still move and walk, and even learn to speak, but in reality, they have already become beehives… This gu technique is the most evil, even witches list it as the first of the ten things not to refine…”

“That witch actually refined such a thing…”

“But every time the gu is used, it needs to be supplied with the flesh and blood of living people. He used so many… how many living people did he have to use to raise bees?”

“…”

The Fa Wang of the One Coin Sect had seen the world, but now that he saw this unreasonable gu technique, he could no longer imagine it.

But the cry had not yet fallen when the voice suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with horror.

Old Man Sun's second apprentice risked his life to split the witch, thinking that he could slow down the situation, but unexpectedly, following the fall of this witch, three figures slowly emerged behind the dense black smoke at the mouth of the valley.

The same ones were playing the flute, slowly approaching, and the gu bees that followed them suddenly tripled, densely packed, flying in the valley.

One person, one beehive, three people were three beehives.

“Be careful…”

Also at the moment when he saw those four or five shadows appear, even Old Man Sun suddenly felt a chill.

How could they fight this? Even if he endured until his cultivation was exhausted, there would be no end…

He had been reciting the "Fu Men Yin Zhou (Mansion Gate Yin Mantra)", opening a layer of the Mansion Gate to protect everyone, but now he suddenly stopped, instead speaking loudly to remind everyone, then, he glanced around, and took a step forward.

The speed was so fierce that many of the bee swarms blocking him were crushed by the impact and fell to the ground. The next moment, he rushed to the edge of the valley, stretched out both hands, and suddenly grabbed two carts.

The blood food mine would not lack these carts. Now he grabbed one with each hand, and with a shout, suddenly threw them forward, exerting his arms with great force. With a thousand pounds of strength, the heavy solid wood carts were actually thrown far away by him, tumbling and rolling.

“Pu”, “pu”, “pu”, “pu”, “pu”

When he threw these two carts, not only was the force sufficient, but the accuracy was also sufficient.

He happened to catch those five or six figures just as they were about to enter the valley, and even knocked down the paifang (archway) at the entrance of the mine. With a crash, it fell down, just covering these figures inside.

The witch who cast the gu must be nearby. Witches are not good at close combat, not good at sudden battles. He drove such powerful gu bees, which meant that he was also here. As long as he could kill him, then…

In a flash of thought, Old Man Sun stared intently, and saw that the three figures were all smashed to pieces, their flesh and blood splattering.

But the ones that were smashed also made a buzzing sound inside their bodies, and more gu bees came out of their bodies, densely packed, making one's scalp tingle.

Old Man Sun couldn't help but gasp: “They are all corpse-reared bees, not a single real living person?”

“Where exactly is this witch hiding?”

“…”

“Master…”

At the same moment, someone shouted behind him, it was his apprentice, Zhuang Erchang.

Just now, when Old Man Sun made his move, he failed to kill the witch who released the gu. Instead, as he destroyed more and more corpse-reared beehives, the pressure on the heads of people in the valley became heavier.

Without the protection of Old Man Sun's Mansion Gate Yin Mantra, they needed to face the gu bees themselves. In addition, the number of gu bees instantly multiplied several times, and they immediately complained endlessly, being stung multiple times one after another.

Fortunately, the corpse-reared bees relied on quantity to win, and although the poison was fierce, it was not targeted at those within the Dao, so these people were still alive.

“Damn it!”

Old Man Sun, who was filled with anger, thinking of rushing to the mouth of the valley again, also gritted his steel teeth.

The Shou Sui had no good way to deal with the witch who released the gu. He could just chop him with a knife. He could still withstand it now, or rather, these gu bees did not have as much effect on him as they did on others.

Now he was also sure that the witch who released the gu was nearby. As long as he went forward without hesitation and rushed up, he could find him and chop him with a knife. But this delay…

He hesitated, looked at the Fa Wang of the One Coin Sect behind him, and sighed deeply in his heart. This Fa Wang was not a Shou Sui. Others could last a little longer, but if he didn't protect him, he would probably die in a moment. He could only rush back anxiously.

As soon as he came back, he did not hesitate, and grabbed the Fa Wang like he was grabbing a small chick, then took big steps, raised himself up, and waved his sleeves back and forth, sweeping countless bee swarms to the ground.

He then took the Fa Wang and went straight to the depths of the valley, climbing rocks and walls as if walking on flat ground, and disappeared in an instant.

“Escaped?”

Suddenly seeing him do this, Zhuang Erchang and others left in the valley were all stunned.

For a moment, they couldn't believe their eyes. A dignified Ru Fu (Entered Mansion) Shou Sui, facing these vicious poisonous bees, actually ran away directly?

Of course, the situation might be complicated, he might not be afraid, but there were other reasons why he had to leave.

But this would not change the fact that he had escaped…

“Wu Ya, it’s time…”

Also at this moment, Old Mr. Sun suddenly took the “Fa Wang” away, which was equivalent to abandoning everyone, including his apprentice, and the people were panicked and could no longer care about anything else.

Wu Ya, who had taken advantage of this chaos to eat a large piece of Black Tai Sui, had now turned into a strange appearance, her skin was black, and her eyes had turned into vertical pupils. Her expression seemed a little confused, but a strange smile that did not match her expression rose at the corner of her mouth.

It was as if another her was slowly awakening in her body, beginning to gradually accept this body.

Clan Chief Wu Gong looked at her deeply, slowly holding the damaged gu basin in both hands, handing it to her, and said in a low voice, “This is our only chance…”
