Chapter 34: Poison Shows Its Power
Just as Wu Yan expected, the nine soul-devouring spirit ghosts summoned by Feng Yaoshi with the special magic array and the magic power of the spirit stone have a time limit. And this time is not long.
This vicious and strange method of taking over the body is originally a magic method. If a normal cultivator takes over the body, there is a spirit ghost to help in the battle. The spirit ghost is fed with the cultivator's essence. The fighting power of the spirit ghost is very high, which is enough for the cultivator to help in the battle. And if there is only one spirit ghost, the spirit ghost summoned by this magic array will exist for a long time.
But the current situation is not the case. For Feng Yaoshi, he seems to be greedy for the number of spirit ghosts, and wants to rely on more spirit ghosts to help in the battle and devour Wu Yan's soul in one fell swoop. What he didn't expect was that Wu Yan's soul would be so powerful and difficult to deal with, and he could actually break through the siege of the spirit ghosts and escape.
Moreover, Feng Yaoshi didn't know the real benefits and disadvantages of this. He was not a cultivator, so his essence was originally very weak. With such a weak essence, the power of the spirit ghost he raised was limited, not to mention the nine-headed spirit ghost. As for the time limit, he knew it clearly. If it was a single spirit ghost, with the support of six spiritual stones, the spirit ghost could at least exist for three hours. Now that nine heads were summoned at once, the time was greatly shortened.
Feng Yaoshi's soul was now very anxious under the wrapping of the Soul Devouring Gu, commanding the nine-headed Soul Devouring Spirit Ghost to desperately chase Wu Yan's soul from behind.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, Feng Yaoshi shouted: "Swallow him quickly!"
Wu Yan also felt the pressure of the nine-headed Soul Devouring Spirit Ghost approaching behind him, and was anxious to escape, but he felt weaker and weaker now, and the light of the light ball seemed to be gradually dimming.
Just when Wu Yan was about to lose confidence, he suddenly felt the pressure from behind pause, and then there was a wave of consciousness. The wave of consciousness was detected by his light ball, and it was obviously panicked and at a loss.
Out of curiosity, Wu Yan stopped and looked back.
The nine-headed soul-eating spirit ghosts that were chasing him suddenly changed color one by one. Originally, the nine soul-eating spirit ghosts were blood red, but now they were flickering one by one, and the color was constantly changing between red and green.
When the color of the nine-headed soul-eating spirit ghosts was changing, they all showed very painful expressions, as if they were trying their best to endure some kind of torture.
"Why is this happening? What is going on?"
Feng Yaoshi's soul screamed in shock, and Wu Yan was awakened by his fluctuations of thoughts and suddenly came to his senses. This is the best time to destroy Feng Yaoshi's soul. As long as his soul is destroyed, the nine-headed soul-eating spirit ghosts may disappear with the dissipation of Feng Yaoshi's soul.
Wu Yan did what he said, and he was not the kind of person who hesitated. His green light ball suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Feng Yaoshi's soul and the tentacle monster.
Feng Yaoshi was shocked and desperately summoned the nine-headed soul-eating ghost to resist Wu Yan, but the nine-headed soul-eating ghost didn't know what happened and didn't listen to his call. They floated up and down in the same place, squeaking and screaming in pain.
Wu Yan didn't care about these things. He was close to the tentacle monster at this time. He first conjured a huge green monster mouth and swallowed the tentacle monster that was originally lurking in his mind. After swallowing the small tentacle monster, Wu Yan's light ball caught up with the big tentacle monster and swallowed the tentacle monster in the same way.
Although the tentacle monster wanted to escape, it didn't get the order from Feng Yaoshi and could only dodge desperately. Feng Yaoshi was unlucky enough. His soul was tightly wrapped by the tentacle monster and he couldn't escape at all.
In a moment, Wu Yan's green light ball successfully devoured the tentacle monster and Feng Yaoshi's soul, and the light shone brightly, which was much larger than the original one.
Poor Feng Yaoshi, his soul was devoured by Wu Yan, and he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate. Of course, Wu Yan didn't know these.
However, after solving Feng Yaoshi, the first terrible enemy in his life, Wu Yan calmed down at this time, floating unsteadily in the dark space, looking at the nine ghost heads that were screaming.
These nine ghost heads had completely turned dark green at this time, and also exuded a smell of corrosion. Green bubbles kept churning on the nine ghost heads, which looked like they were poisoned.
Suddenly, all nine ghost heads let out a shrill and unwilling scream, flashed a few times strangely, and disappeared out of thin air.
Wu Yan's light ball was startled by this change.
The dark mysterious world returned to peace again, as if nothing had happened. Wu Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath. Floating quietly in the dark world, he gradually fell asleep.
…
I don't know how long it took. Wu Yan, lying on the cold ground, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his consciousness gradually recovered.
Wu Yan only felt sore all over, his head was dizzy and painful, and he had no strength at all, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He subconsciously opened his eyes, and suddenly jumped up at the sight in front of him. His body suddenly crawled back a dozen steps subconsciously, and then he looked at the scene in front of him with a daze.
Pharmacist Feng's body was still sitting cross-legged in the same position as before, but the appearance of the body was very scary. In this short period of time, his body had shrunk into the appearance of a 16- or 17-year-old boy, and his face was pale green, and green liquid was flowing out of his seven orifices. He was deader than dead.
The nine ghost head patterns on his head were clearly visible under the illumination of dozens of oil lamps in the secret room, but the nine patterns had now turned green, and seemed to be dissolving, hissing and dripping with pale green liquid.
The six green stones on the ground that were placed in the groove by Pharmacist Feng fell off automatically and broke into fine small stones.
A faint stench floated out from some corner, making Wu Yan feel indescribably nauseous.
He subconsciously retreated more than ten steps when he woke up just now, because he was really scared by the terrible appearance of Pharmacist Feng. When he woke up completely, Wu Yan felt as if he was in another world, and gradually understood a lot of things.
From all the changes in the secret room now, it can be inferred that the body of Pharmacist Feng was poisoned by the "Red Face Tribulation" poison, which seemed to be very deep, so deep that even Wu Yan was surprised. Originally, according to the records in the "Pharmacology Classic", the poison on Pharmacist Feng should have occurred half a year after the poisoning, but now it happened within half a day.
It seems that when he prepared the "Red Face Tribulation" poison, all the various poison ingredients he used were ripened by the mysterious green soil, which caused this situation. After the ripening of the green soil, the quality and toxicity of the poison seemed to have been greatly improved and strengthened, which made the "Red Face Tribulation" poison so violent.
Fortunately, in the process of releasing this poison, Wu Yan had been holding his breath, and he also took various precautions in advance, and even took a lot of Qingling Powder, so he didn't get poisoned like Pharmacist Feng. This also made Wu Yan feel fortunate, and he broke out in a cold sweat on his back, thinking that if he hadn't been careful, he would probably be like Pharmacist Feng now.
Judging from various signs, even when he was possessed, the nine ghost heads should have been poisoned by this poison, which is why they were killed by the poison when they almost caught up with his soul. The nine ghost heads were fed a drop of his own blood by Master Feng before.
Unexpectedly, the improved "Red Face Tribulation" would have such a terrifying toxicity, and it could even poison such an illusory ghost.
This made Wu Yan feel fortunate, but also a little stunned. He couldn't help thinking that poison was really powerful. If he had the chance in the future, he must prepare more poisons of various kinds. He didn't know when he would be able to use them, especially the improved poisons.
Thinking of the dozens of legendary poisons recorded in the "Poison Chapter" in the "Pharmacology Classic", Wu Yan's heart was inexplicably hot at this time.
These are all wonderful self-defense weapons, which seem to be much more powerful than martial arts.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Yan suddenly made a very bold and strange move. He strode towards the body of Pharmacist Feng, picked up the wooden crutch that Pharmacist Feng often leaned on, poked Pharmacist Feng's body, and then searched his body carefully.
