Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 39: Phoenix Pill, Fire Man

"In previous years, when we went into the cave, we would bring back a large number of eggs."

The Wu village chief said, "The main reason these insects are so numerous is that after entering the cave, they can smash eggs on the stone walls along the way. The raw eggs will attract a large number of insects to gather there."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to capture other powerful poisonous creatures and then target those bugs."

Insect poisons naturally like fishy smells and like to absorb life-giving substances.

But in fact, things like humans and animals are too large, and even if they are angry, they will fight back. Many insects can cause great harm to humans after biting them.

Eggs are pure, but weak, and have a fishy smell, making them the most likely to attract weak poisonous insects.

There is a custom among the Miao villages in the mountains of Yizhou. If someone is poisoned by a Gu, and the poison is only mild, they can roll a half-cooked egg between their chest and abdomen to suck out the poison.

So this egg is also called Phoenix Pill.

The Wu village chief waved his hand and ordered people to go collect eggs first. He continued, "However, in previous years, we only started collecting eggs in winter. There haven't been many eggs in the village lately, and we've used up quite a few of them at the gatherings these past few days."

"Besides, the sound of the flute will stimulate the insects, and the effect of these eggs will not be as good as in previous years."

Chu Tianshu said, "She's not the only one in the village who knows how to poison insects, right? She can stimulate the insects. Don't you have any way to resist or appease them?"

The Wuzhai leader shook his head. "These insects are wild and haven't been truly refined. They're easy to stimulate but hard to soothe. If everyone competes to play, the stimulation will only be greater."

Chu Tianshu looked into the cave.

The poisonous insects that were previously startled by the flames were still crawling around, and where they crawled, more insects emerged from the cracks.

"I seemed to see someone in your village oiling a few cloaks this morning."

Chu Tianshu suddenly said, "When I passed by, I sniffed twice. That smell should be kerosene, right?"

The leader of Wu Village sighed.

"Yes, originally, those were the clothes we were going to use for the third level."

The three gates of Wujiazhai, the backbone, the Miao King Funiu, and the Road to Fire!
The last step is to use charcoal to pave a road 18 meters long.

In fact, as long as ordinary people are brave enough, they can also walk across the hot charcoal road without getting hurt by relying on the protection of sweat from the soles of their feet and the instant evaporation of heat.

But that kind of road surface is at most three or four meters long, and it would be very dangerous if it is longer than that.

And in the 18-zhang charcoal road of Wujiazhai, there were also red-hot axes, hoes, plowshares, and broken iron pieces.

The challengers wore cloaks painted with kerosene and had to pass through barefoot.

Not only did he have to try to kick away the red-hot iron tools, but he also had to be careful not to get sparks on his cloak.

But even if the cloak was not touched by sparks, it would start to catch fire in the second half under such high temperature.

You must kick away all the remaining iron tools on the road before the cloak is burned through and reach the end to succeed.

In the entire Wujiazhai, only the leader of the Wujiazhai is confident that he can pass such a test.

His body had been tempered with medicine for many years and was very resistant to high temperatures, especially his hands and feet. This was the reason why he dared to put his fist directly into the flames of the iron pot to roast it when he made the agreement.

"So that's it."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "Then can you let me change the occasion and bathe in fire for once?"

The Wuzhai leader was surprised and asked, "Do you think you can go into this cave wearing those cloaks? Those fire ants and flying mantises will definitely set you on fire."

"It's just the outer layer of the cloak that's burning. Won't it take a while for it to burn through?"

Chu Tianshu pointed into the cave and said, "I see that there are flying insects in the cave that can directly collide with flames, but most of the poisonous insects are still afraid of fire."

"Walking through fire should scare away a lot of poisonous insects."

The Wuzhai leader reminded him again: "If this works, I can rush in wearing a fire suit myself. The problem is that deep inside the cave, the fungus powder will turn into poisonous smoke when it comes into contact with fire. If you breathe it in..."

"Then I won't breathe!"

Chu Tianshu looked into the depths of the cave and said, "It is indeed very challenging to hold your breath and rush to the deepest part to pull the person out."

"But even if this hadn't happened, getting through the third level would still be quite a challenge. Why not give this one a try?"

Cai Shanjun also advised: "There's no need to be so hasty. Why not wait for two days and go late at night when she's asleep?"

"Is her daily routine in the cave necessarily that normal?"

Chu Tianshu laughed, "She almost plotted against me before, so I'm going to catch her today. I can't wait any longer!"

After all, the Xu and Zhou guys are very strong and hold military power, so they have to wait for a while.

But is this old lady in front of me really worth my waiting?

After a moment, the sunlight at the cave entrance dimmed.

The person's shadow stretched out and was cast into the cave.

Everyone outside the cave was watching intently.

Chu Tianshu, wearing a large hooded cloak, walked silently inside.

He didn't bring any raw eggs.

What he will be competing for later is speed. The use of raw eggs is not suitable for him and will only be a burden if he carries them.

When he first entered the cave, he made no sound at all, so the old lady guarding the temple deep in the cave didn't notice him.

After he walked thirty or forty meters in, the poisonous insects that had not yet been stimulated by the sound of the flute began to gather around him in increasing numbers due to their ferocious instincts.

Dozens, hundreds of flower-legged spiders dangled from the cave ceiling, and centipedes piled up on the ground, scurrying toward him. The poisonous insects that inhabited the rock walls also took to the skies in increasing numbers, gathering around him like a cloud of insect smoke.

Chu Tianshu took a very slow, but long breath, then narrowed his eyes into slits and suddenly stomped his feet.

Boom! ! !
He stomped on the rocks on the ground, creating cracks, and the figure moved like a crossbow arrow, suddenly rushing inside.

The speed was so fierce that the insect smoke was dispersed in an instant.

Some of the bugs hit his face, but before he could do anything, they were blown away by the strong oncoming airflow.

In the blink of an eye, he took two or three steps and rushed out twenty or thirty meters.

The person deep in the cave realized something was wrong and blew the flute.

The poisonous insects in the cave are stimulated and guided.

Several specific species began to fly and gather before Chu Tianshu arrived.

When Chu Tianshu arrived, the bugs just collided with each other.

Bang! !

Fierce flames erupted in the air.

But as soon as it exploded, it was split in half by a black shadow that fell from the sky.

That was Chu Tianshu's arm.

He whipped his hand and split the most intense part of the flames, and the figure passed through it.

The flames on both sides touched the corners of his cloak and burned along the outer layer of kerosene.

But Chu Tianshu was so fast that the cloak behind him fluttered like a flag blown by the wind.

Just as the flames showed signs of spreading, they were extinguished by the strong wind and shaking.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! !

In the long and narrow cave, balls of fire exploded one after another.

When Chu Tianshu rushed out of the fifth fireball, the outer layer of his cloak was completely ignited.

He was like a fire dragon flying close to the ground, rushing through the winding cave.

At the point where he needed to make a sharp turn, his figure even flew into the air, his feet even stepping on the stone wall next to him.

The poisonous insects ahead were buzzing and becoming more and more dense. Many of them were no longer the kind that could burst into flames, but were good at biting and stinging people.

Chu Tianshu grabbed the cloak with his left hand, blocked it in front of him, and rushed forward.

This time, he really turned into a high-speed moving fireball.

The cloud-like poisonous insects were knocked away and scared away one after another by him.

The mushrooms growing in the cracks of the rocks and the mushroom powder floating in the soil were also ignited by the flames on his body.

A light green smoke began to float in the cave.

The sound of the flute from the deepest part of the cave became more and more urgent.

The old lady guarding the temple leaned against the stone wall deep in the cave, her eyelids so tense that she dared not blink, her eyeballs slightly red due to dryness, and the bamboo flute in her hand blew out a sharp whistle that was loud enough to pierce through stone.

But she still saw the light and shadow in the distance getting closer and closer, and at the corner in front, a flame suddenly flashed and rushed over.

Snapped! !

The old lady guarding the temple was so frightened that she broke the bamboo flute in her hand, and suddenly changed her right hand to play the jade flute.

"Woo——"

The sound from the jade flute was hollow and long.

The tone is so low that it doesn't sound like something that can be played by a flute. Instead, it sounds like a jade flute.

The deep caves and rocks seemed to resonate with the sound.

Chu Tianshu, who was flying over, suddenly groaned and slowed down his pace.

He felt as if something had hit his insides.

The body surface was not hit, but the internal organs were directly hit, the heart was compressed, the lungs were squeezed, the intestines and stomach were shriveled, and the liver and gallbladder were trembling.

The old lady guarding the temple also suddenly covered her stomach, as if she was in extreme pain.

But she still held the jade flute in her right hand, and used a unique breathing method to make the flute sound continuous and suddenly become deeper and farther away.

Suddenly, there was a roar like the blast of war drums and the explosion of grenades, completely drowning out the sound of the flute.

"roll!!!"

Chu Tianshu stretched out his arms, activated his internal organs, and pushed the muscles all over his body outward, penetrating his underwear and transmitting the energy to the outermost cloak.

The burning cloak exploded on the spot and flew in all directions.

The effect of the flute sound on the internal organs was suppressed in this violent exertion and was almost imperceptible.

As soon as the old lady guarding the temple heard this bomb-like roar, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.

Chu Tianshu slapped her in the face, pushed her head against the stone wall, and she fainted instantly.
