907 Secret
Jiang Ming blinked.
Those maggots were clearly attacking Li Nanchu. Why were they suddenly afraid of him now?
At this time, Li Nanchu saw that everyone ignored him and could not help but get angry. He immediately walked to Jiang Ming and said, “Ning Caichen, look at me. If it weren’t for me, you would have died now. You should thank me; do you hear me?”
Jiang Ming saw Li Nanchu’s stupid face swaying in front of him and could not help but get angry. He pushed him aside.
He did not understand.
Why was Li Nanchu acting like a lunatic? If not for the fact that everyone here knew him, he would have died of embarra.s.sment.
Moreover, Li Nanchu had betrayed them.
Jiang Ming held his breath and tried his best to calm himself down. His eyes emitted a murderous light.
“If you know what’s good for you, then shut up. Don’t make me angry.”
Yuan Hehe could not take it anymore. He took a step forward and punched Li Nanchu in the face.
He felt that Li Nanchu should die and not stay here for too long.
Li Nanchu felt the stinging pain and immediately became dissatisfied. He shouted at Yuan Hehe and the others.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll let those maggots attack you by treating me like this?”
“Should I kill you first then?”
Jiang Ming was still thinking about the reason why the maggots left Li Nanchu. When he saw Li Nanchu being so noisy, he became impatient.
Li Nanchu did not dare to say anything after being yelled at.
In fact, he did not dare to go out either. After all, the situation was urgent.
Although the maggots that had just entered were afraid of him, who knew if the other maggots were also afraid of him? He could not take the risk.
Sikong Wuyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Nanchu finally quieted down. Who would have known that the king of the Xiaguo Kingdom would be so crude? It was really a disgrace to his reputation as a gentleman.
Jiang Ming could not figure it out, but he felt that Li Nanchu’s blood was the most important.
He guessed that these maggots might have some kind of way to communicate with each other.
He had just used Li Nanchu’s blood to kill a maggot man. That maggot man might have sent a signal to the other maggot men before he died, which was why this happened.
However, this possibility was only a guess and could not be verified. After all, he was not one of the maggots themselves.
Seeing Jiang Ming’s thoughtful look, Sikong Wuyuan did not want to disturb him, so he thought of the same question as Jiang Ming.
However, although the result he got was similar to Jiang Ming’s, he still couldn’t figure it out.
Yuan Hehe was cleaning up the traces of the maggots.
Wherever the maggots went, there would be some terrifying mucus.
The mucus was bloodshot and looked disgusting.
He did not want to live in such an environment.
Seeing the slime, Jiang Ming thought of something else. He looked at Li Nanchu and asked, “Do you have any folk songs or legends about monsters that have been pa.s.sed down in the Xiaguo Kingdom?”
Li Nanchu thought for a moment. His expression turned serious.
“Wherever the maggots go, the royal family will fill the city. It’s said that this was a way to solve monster-related problems. I didn’t understand it at the time, but now that I’ve seen maggots, I roughly understand the origin of these words.”
“Huh?”
Yuan Hehe was dumbfounded. “Are you sure?” he asked. “Is that really the case?”
“This is just a description of the phenomenon, not a solution, right?”
Sikong Wuyuan found it strange and asked.
Jiang Ming thought about these words and did not have any opinion.
There was no need to think about the direction of the maggots. The only thing left was the royal family.
Logically speaking, the royal family of the Xiaguo Kingdom were all in the palace. How could the royal family be all over the city?
If the royal family was said to be full of the city, it could only be said that a certain part of the royal family might be able to fill the city with the royal family.
Jiang Ming suddenly had an idea and immediately looked at Li Nanchu.
He felt that the breakthrough was still with the king of the Xiaguo Kingdom.
“Ning Caichen, what are you doing? What do you want to do to me?”
Li Nanchu became nervous and could not help but retreat.
Jiang Ming took a step forward and sized him up. “There should be spells pa.s.sed down from generation to generation in the royal family, right?”
“How did you know? It’s your first time in the Xiaguo Kingdom. How do you know everything?”
Li Nanchu could not understand.
“I made an educated guess.” Jiang Ming shrugged. “The important thing now is that you have to answer me. Don’t pay attention to anything other than my question.”
“Yes… There is…”
Li Nanchu stuttered, not knowing what to say.
“Why are you stuttering? What is that spell?”
Jiang Ming found Li Nanchu’s expression strange, but he did not think too much about it and continued with the next question.
Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan listened carefully.
They had a vague feeling that this spell could change the current state of the Xiaguo Kingdom.
“The spell technique is used by the kings of the past dynasties to rise into the air and then release the light of the sun and moon to shine on the ground,” Li Nanchu continued to stutter.
He pursed his lips, but he did not continue.
“The sun and moon shine on the ground, and the royal family fills the city. I get what that line means,” Jiang Ming said unhurriedly.
He knew it. So, this was how it was.
After Jiang Ming said that, Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan were enlightened and immediately nodded.
“Li Nanchu, hurry up and use that spell.”
Li Nanchu continued to stammer and did not say anything, making Jiang Ming and the other two anxious.
“What are you hesitating about? Hurry up and use it. Don’t you want your country to be destroyed?” Sikong Wuyuan did not understand and said helplessly.
“I… I can’t!”
After a while, Li Nanchu’s face was full of tears.
“Hey!”
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe sighed deeply.
There was no way to get rid of this maggot man.
Jiang Ming was also a little disappointed.
After solving this mystery, there was finally a glimmer of hope.
In the end, Li Nanchu did not know this spell technique. He was really stupid.
“Haven’t you practiced before? How can you not even know the spells pa.s.sed down from the royal family?”
Yuan Hehe found it hard to understand and could not help but ask Li Nanchu many times.
“I want to learn it too, but I’m not talented. I can’t do anything if I don’t learn it.”
Li Nanchu continued to cry, feeling that Yuan Hehe was pushing him too hard.
Was this his fault? Would those who did not know how to do it be reprimanded?
“Alright, there’s nothing we can do now.”
Sikong Wuyuan smacked his head and frowned.
Li Nanchu was usually so arrogant that he thought that he was very powerful. In the end, he dropped the ball at the crucial moment. He was really speechless.
Jiang Ming still did not speak.
He couldn’t help but have a bold idea.
“This royal family’s spell technique isn’t something that only the royal family can learn, right? Outsiders should be able to learn it, right?”
“That’s impossible.” Li Nanchu shook his head instantly.
