Chapter 139 The Ghost Worm
Chapter 139 The Ghost Worm
Upon the sight of the worm, Xia Lu feels quite frightened.
It is not because she has sensed that the so-called ghost worm is rather powerful but because as a girl, she has a natural fear for worms.
“Disgusting...”
Xia Lu can’t help cursing. Unexpectedly, the worm splits into two and then again, each of which keeps doubling, as if creating a series of afterimages.
Xia Lu becomes shocked instantly.
Gao Ge happens to see what’s going on over there and then hurries to shout, “Those are all its shadows. Find the original one!”
Xia Lu immediately brings her mind back.
The apprentice of the Ghost Sect who releases the ghost worm frowns and casts a glance at Gao Ge, saying to his companions, “This man is about to tell we are from the Ghost Sect and knows about five little ghosts and ghost worms. Does he have any relationship with the Ghost Sect?”
“I don’t know either, but it is not important. Anyone who gets in our way must die!”
Faced with the suppression of the ghost worm, Xia Lu is at a loss what to do.
When the ghost worm approaches her, she feels a bit feared.
Although she has no idea how the ghost worm comes to being, she knows by instinct that the consequence is unthinkable once she is bitten by the worm.
Even having been reminded by Gao Ge, Xia Lu still feels headache.
She doesn’t know how she can identify the original ghost worm.
She is in an awkward situation!
While he is dealing with the five little ghosts, Gao Ge keeps thinking about the solution.
It is rather troublesome to confront the enemy like the Ghost Sect.
They always adopt various vicious methods. Take the ghost worm as example. In fact, Xia Lu’s instinct is correct. If she is really injured by the ghost worm, the consequence will be rather serious, for the ghost worm hurts human’s soul instead of body. Once the soul is hurt, it is very difficult to restore it.
However, even if he wants to do Xia Lu a favor, he cannot get rid of the joint attack of the five little ghosts in a short period of time.
“Boss, we are here!”
Yue Xincheng, Meng Jing and the others all come over.
The camgirl and her companions also arrive.
“Go to help Xia Lu!” Gao Ge hastens to say without thinking much.
Without any hesitation, Yue Xincheng and Su Hui go at the ghost worm together.
“Watch out. That’s the ghost worm!” Here comes a voice suddenly. Gao Ge looks at the direction where the voice comes from and feels quite surprised.
The one who said that is Master Wen, the man following here with the camgirl.
Master Wen can also assert that it is the ghost worm?
Gao Ge can recognize it because he saw that when the Ghost Sect made a lot of moves in the mortal world in the previous life.
Yet, why does Master Wen also know about it?
Master Wen runs towards Gao Ge. He searches in his pocket and then takes out a few talismans. With some finger gestures, the talismans become big fireballs and float towards the five little ghosts.
As the fireballs approach, the five little ghosts start to wail painfully.
“Emm?” The apprentice of the Ghost Sect is startled, “These are the Raging Fire Talismans?”
“Is he also an apprentice of the Ghost Sect?”
“No. If he is, we can’t fail to recognize him!”
The apprentices of the Ghost Sect feel a bit headache.
“My five little ghosts!” The apprentice who has released the five little ghosts is so furious, watching his five little ghosts burnt into ashes by the Raging Fire Talismans. He keeps gasping and stares at Master Wen with ferocious eyes.
It also surprises Gao Ge.
Although the camgirl told him that Master Wen was somehow capable, he didn’t believe her at that time, feeling that this man was merely a complete fraud. Unexpectedly, he shows his capability so well now.
“Ahem, young man, are my talismans good?” Master Wen says to Gao Ge while hiding behind his back.
“Where do you get the talismans?” Gao Ge asks in surprise.
Judging from the talismans, Gao Ge also thinks that Master Wen should be related to the Ghost Sect.
Master Wen says in a low voice, “My master left these to me. I know these things are good stuff, but I am not capable enough to make such talismans. These are truly precious and limited...”
Gao Ge nods his head slightly. He has heard of Master Wen’s master. It seems that his master was really capable indeed. Simply in light of the talismans, he could surely have a place in the world.
It is a pity that a good master didn’t find a good apprentice. If Wen Yihuan could study hard under the guidance of his master, he would be rather capable by now.
“Xia Lu, Xia Lu!”
While Gao Ge is thinking about that, Yue Xincheng suddenly shouts out loud.
Gao Ge frowns and sees that Xia Lu has been lying on the ground. He rushes over and waves his sword. His sword wind immediately dispels tens of shadows of the ghost worm.
The gathering ghost worms look rather frightened, just like the locust in the plague.
Master Wen also hastens to follow over and looks at Xia Lu, saying in a deep voice, “Oh no, this girl has been bitten by the ghost worm.”
While he is saying that, he hurries to take out a talisman to put on the forehead of Xia Lu.
The apprentice of the Ghost Sect, who is holding the Soul Summoning Pennant, looks so shocked, “You have the Soul Stabilizing Talisman of our sect? Who on earth are you? Even in the current Ghost Sect, there are very few cultivators who can make the Soul Stabilizing Talisman.”
Without paying attention to him, Master Wen raises his head to watch the ghost worms and grits his teeth. Then he takes out his compass from his arms and passes it to Gao Ge.
“The compass can help you find the original ghost worm.”
Gao Ge nods his head and takes the compass from Master Wen.
Given Master Wen’s performance, Gao Ge has believed in his capability.
Needless to say, this compass must be passed down by Master Wen’s master.
Although Wen Yihuan is taking advantage of his master, Gao Ge can’t help envying him. After all, he does have a good master.
Gao Ge stands up, with one hand holding the sword and the other one holding the compass. The needle of the compass keeps trembling and when it suddenly stops, Gao Ge quickly takes a few steps forward and raises his sword to break through numerous doppelgangers of the ghost worm to hit the real one.
Bippity, boppity, boo. All the doppelgangers explode.
“Bastard!” The apprentice of the Ghost Sect who has released the ghost worm is so furious that he vomits a mouthful of blood.
It is hard to train up five little ghosts. Compared to that, it is much harder to foster a ghost worm.
When the apprentice who released the five little ghosts sees that his companion lost his ghost worm, he feels a bit better now.
“What else have you got?” Holding the sword, Gao Ge rushes to the front apprentice of the Ghost Sect. He is simmering with anger and slashes the man’s chest, making him thrown away instantly.
The other two apprentices of the Ghost Sect hasten to throw out talismans but they are stopped by Master Wen who is hiding behind Gao Ge in the same way. They have no other choices but to keep retreating.
