Chapter 376: So Many Worms!
When Chu Luo and Li Yan walked to the parking lot, they saw Qin Ming walking over from a path with Anya in his arms.
Chu Luo looked at Anya, who was crying with her head buried, and asked Qin Ming with a frown, “What’s going on?”
Qin Ming pursed his lips and looked down at Anya’s head. He frowned and didn’t speak.
When Anya heard Chu Luo’s voice, she immediately looked up. Seeing that Li Yan was also there, she subconsciously wiped her tears. At the same time, she realized that she was still being carried by Qin Ming. Her face turned red and she quickly said, “Put me down.”
Without a word, Qin Ming put her down.
As soon as Anya stood on the ground, Chu Luo saw the red mark on her chin and frowned even more. “You’re injured?”
“I…”
Anya was really unwilling to talk about what had happened just now.
At this moment, Qin Ming said in a low voice, “She followed the fake Qin Zhao and was almost raped after being discovered.”
Anya suddenly turned to look at Qin Ming, feeling embarra.s.sed and upset. She wailed and suddenly thought of her guard, Mina. She quickly stopped crying and grabbed Qin Ming’s sleeve. “How is my guard, Mina? Did you get anyone to save her?”
At this point, she remembered how powerful Chu Luo was. She quickly let go of Qin Ming’s sleeve and turned to look at Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, Mina was shot. You must save her.”
Chu Luo glanced at the frantic Anya and then at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming said, “She’s in the car.”
After saying that, he pointed at a car in front.
Anya immediately ran over.
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who said, “You guys go to the car first. Qin Ming and I will go take a look.”
Chu Luo nodded and followed.
Li Yan and Qin Ming quickly walked towards the path.
Chu Luo walked to the car and saw Anya calling Mina’s name softly.
However, she didn’t manage to wake her up after calling a few times. She quickly turned to Chu Luo. “Chu, is Mina… is she…?”
“She’s not dead.”
Chu Luo took out two silver needles and walked over to seal Mina’s two major acupoints. She looked at the bullet hole on her waist and said, “I’ll take out her bullet now. Think of a way to get me some water.”
“Oh, oh.”
Anya looked around and quickly walked into the temple.
After a while, Anya came out with a monk carrying a water basin.
The monk was surprised to see Mina, but he quickly restrained the surprise on his face. He placed the water beside Chu Luo, pressed his palms together, and chanted “Amitabha” before turning around to leave.
Chu Luo washed Mina’s wound and quickly took out the tools to retrieve the bullet. Before Anya could react, she had already taken out the bullet.
Then, she washed her hands with the water in the basin and said to Anya, “Get someone to take good care of her when you go back. She will be fine in a few days.”
“Uh… okay.”
Anya heaved a sigh of relief, but her legs went limp and she leaned against the car.
“If you can’t stand properly, go sit in the car.”
Anya was embarra.s.sed, but this was not the time to be prideful. She climbed into the car and sat down.
Only then did Chu Luo ask her, “What exactly happened just now? As a princess, how can you be so impulsive?”
“I…” Anya bit her lips and hesitated for a while before saying, “I heard that person call and say that he will lure you over tonight and catch you. That’s why I followed him.”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds before asking, “You only brought one guard? Didn’t His Majesty send you some secret guards?”
“Eh?” After Chu Luo mentioned it, Anya remembered that she had a few secret guards following her. At the thought of this, her face turned pale again.
After a while, she asked with a sad expression, “Chu, have my secret guards been killed by them?”
“That’s very likely.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she saw Anya’s expression turn even uglier and swallowed her words.
She turned to look out of the car and was about to see if Li Yan and the others had returned when she felt a wave of energy approaching.
Her expression froze and she said to Anya, “Anya, stay in the car.”
Anya’s body trembled and she quickly asked, “Is someone powerful coming over?”
“Mm.”
After saying that, Chu Luo alighted and stuck a talisman on the car.
The car instantly disappeared.
Chu Luo quickly walked towards that energy.
The peach forest was filled with peach trees that had lost their leaves. Chu Luo walked for a while before jumping up and quickly flying between the peach branches.
That energy had just come from outside.
When Chu Luo followed the energy fluctuation over, she realized that the energy fluctuation was headed towards the tomb raiders.
At this moment, the people living in the simple room weren’t asleep. Many people were gathered together, drinking and chatting.
They were chatting about the product exhibition that had been held in the capital recently. It was as if these people were ordinary businessmen who wanted to make a fortune and had specially come to pray to Buddha.
At this moment, there was a gust of wind in the forest.
The sound of the wind rang out. Accompanying the sound of the wind was a hair-raising hissing sound. However, this sound was quickly covered by the wind, and those people didn’t hear it at all.
At this moment, a young man walked out of a simple room and walked to the side. He stopped under a tree five meters away from the simple room and started to undo his belt. It was obvious that he had come out to pee.
However, when he finished peeing and shaking, he realized that something was wrong and shouted, “Ouch ~ There are so many worms!”
His shouts alerted the people who were chatting. They quickly walked out with flashlights.
Wherever the torchlight shone, there were squirming worms everywhere, making people subconsciously have gooseb.u.mps.
“Ouch!”
When the young man saw who had come out, he shouted again and strode to one of the middle-aged men. He said with a trembling voice, “Uncle, there are so many worms.”
“What are you shouting for? Stop making a fuss.”
The others’ expressions didn’t change.
One of them quickly took out a bottle and poured it on the worms.
After a series of crackling sounds, the air was immediately filled with a scorched smell.
One of them looked at the young man and mocked, “Little kid, if you’re even afraid of such worms, how can you follow us to do great things? I advise you to go back and look for your mother. Otherwise, you’ll cry for your parents…”
Many people immediately echoed and laughed.
The young man’s uncle didn’t look too good. He said in a low voice, “Old Black, deal with these worms first. Looks like this isn’t a place we can stay.”
Hearing this, the others immediately stopped laughing.
Everyone quickly dealt with the worms that crawled over.
Then, they entered the simple room, picked up something, and walked to the side.
As they packed their things, Chu Luo chased after the energy fluctuation.
The person controlling the worms was beside the lake.
When Chu Luo went, he was still playing the flute.
It was obvious that the flute was used to control worms.
Chu Luo stopped ten meters away from that person and picked up a small stone to flick towards that person’s flute.
Swoosh~
Pa!
Dong!
When the flute fell to the ground, that person realized that someone was there and shouted, “Who is it! Come out!”
Chu Luo walked towards him slowly.
When the man saw Chu Luo walking over, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. “Who are you?”
“Someone who has come to deal with you.”
“Ha, what an arrogant tone!”
The man was about to pick up the flute that had fallen to the ground.
Chu Luo cast a spell and the flute flew out.
The man abruptly looked at Chu Luo with shock in his eyes.
At this moment, the flute had already reached Chu Luo’s hand. She said in a low voice, “Since you can control so many worms, you must be from Southern Xinjiang.”
“Since you know…”
The man’s lips suddenly curled up into a sinister and ruthless smile. “In that case you should know that nine out of ten people from Southern Xinjiang know how to control Gu worms. Since you dare to disturb my business, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
After saying that, he extended his hand towards Chu Luo, and a Gu worm flew towards Chu Luo at lightning speed in the dark.
Chu Luo blocked the Gu worm with the flute in her hand.
“Hahahaha… Do you think you can get rid of my Gu worms as you please?”
After saying that, he put two fingers to his lips and whistled.
After the whistle, the Gu worm turned into a few in the dark and flew towards Chu Luo from different angles.
Chu Luo quickly jumped back and took out two bells from her body. She quickly shook them.
When the crisp sound of the bell rang in the dark, the man’s smile froze. “You… you actually have something that can control Gu worms?”
“It’s too late to know now.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she continued to ring the bells and sneered. “Since you like to cast Gu poison on others, I’ll let you experience the feeling of being controlled by a Gu worm.”
“Heh, you can control the Gu worms I raise? What a joke.”
“We’ll know if we can try.”
Chu Luo increased the speed at which she rang the bells.
After a while, the man finally stopped smiling. He paused first, then his face contorted and his body spasmed uncontrollably.
“Ouch!”
Looking at the man who was rolling on the ground with his head in his arms, Chu Luo shook the bell as she walked up to him and asked coldly, “Did you plant the Gu worm made from a coil sucking worm in my teacher’s brain?”
“I don’t know… Ouch… Stop shaking. I can’t stand it!”
“Hmph! If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll let your Gu worm kill you.”
