Chapter 2012 Haven't you always stayed by my side too?
Commander Wan never expected that instead of getting any clues out of him, he would be outmaneuvered by Venerable Fang.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and speak softly.
Well, they were the victims, so how come they're the ones in the wrong?
After calming down Venerable Fang, he quickly led his men to continue searching for people within the Shadow Guard Camp.
It's no exaggeration to say that they searched every nook and cranny, but still couldn't find them. Where did Liu Yiyi and the others hide?
Is he impersonating a shadow guard again?
Thinking of this, he felt a chill and immediately gathered the four divisions of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, as well as the other shadow guards, together to check them one by one.
He didn't summon the Ghost Guards because of their special status; Liu Yiyi and the others couldn't possibly impersonate them.
After eliminating the only correct answer, they began answering the questions...
While the Ghost Guard was screaming in the afternoon, Fengxi absorbed all the power of time from the Time Shuttle Stone particles that the Insect Emperor had taken.
Then he instructed the Insect King to put the waste stone back at night, so that even if it attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives, they wouldn't be able to find her.
The Insect King was currently overflowing with loyalty and readily agreed.
That night, Fengxi and the others followed the Ghost Guard to the back mountain to bask in the moonlight.
As always, each ghost guard was spaced a distance apart.
Fengxi and the others did the same, except they deliberately sat in front, behind, or to the sides.
It will be easier to cooperate if something goes wrong.
Everything was normal until the middle of the night when a ghost guard suddenly stood up.
His dull eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked towards Fengxi.
Both Fengxi and Junwen were startled and prepared for battle.
To their utter surprise, the ghost guard simply sat down next to Feng Xi and continued meditating cross-legged, without exhibiting any other unusual behavior.
At this moment, he and Fengxi were at most three feet apart.
This is clearly not in line with the Ghost Guard's style of doing things.
Just as Junwen and the others were in shock, another Ghost Guard sat down next to Fengxi.
Then came a third, a fourth...
They seized every opportunity, and even engaged in minor shoving and pushing to compete for a spot next to Fengxi.
Fan Lizhi and others: "..."
The captain's charisma is terrifying!
Even the Ghost Guards couldn't withstand it!
Shen Zhilan was so angry that her cheeks puffed up!
Even a living dead like Ghost Guard is treating Liu Yiyi like a hot commodity, it's unbelievable!
Fengxi had already guessed the reason.
The demonic insects parasitizing these ghostly guards hadn't been able to absorb the power of time from the Time Shuttle Stone all day and were in a state of hunger.
Therefore, he instinctively approached her, a person who cultivated the power of time.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fengxi unleashed the light of the sage.
On the one hand, she wanted to prevent the demonic insects from developing malicious intentions towards her, and on the other hand, she wanted to gain the trust of the Ghost Guard's true consciousness.
Blood Devourer boasted to Commander Liu, "Let me tell you how many times my Saintly Light has helped Xiaoxi? I can't even count them all!"
Only a genius like me could invent such a heaven-defying technique. I ask you, are you convinced or not?
Commander Liu laughed and said, "Old Ancestor Xue's technique is indeed exquisite. I, Liu, am completely impressed!"
Blood Devouring World: "..."
Why don't you say something in your favor?
There's no sense of accomplishment at all!
When they returned to the Ghost Guard camp, the Ghost Guards still rushed to be next to Fengxi.
Having no other choice, Fengxi activated the isolation array.
A look of bewilderment flashed in the eyes of those ghost guards, and they regained their usual numbness, keeping their distance from each other, and began to hop back.
Fengxi deliberately stayed until the very end to avoid being entangled by the Ghost Guards again.
Shen Zhilan secretly transmitted her voice: "What kind of evil magic did you use? Why are those ghost guards all trying to get close to you?"
Fengxi sighed, "It's all because of my irresistible charm; you've been clinging to my side the whole time, haven't you?!"
Shen Zhilan: #￥#@%￥#
She had originally wanted to ask her questions properly, but now she was so angry with Fengxi that she didn't want to talk to her at all.
When Fengxi and the others returned to the cave, the Insect King had already put the waste stones back into the various caves.
After a while, some of the ghost guards became visibly restless.
Fengxi said to the Insect King, "Now you should order those Phantom Insect larvae to hibernate and conserve their energy. Once they hibernate, the moths will most likely follow suit."
The Insect King said weakly, "I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try!"
"If you succeed, I will reward you with two more purple beast cores."
The Insect King's compound eyes gleamed: "I will either succeed or die trying! I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
Feng Xi: "..."
She released the insect king.
The Insect King used its invisibility ability, its two antennae constantly colliding, conveying only one message... Children, sleep, sleep, go to sleep!
It was going all out for the beast core, desperately increasing the frequency of its tentacles colliding, to the point that it was almost cramping up!
Fortunately, it worked well; the restless ghost guards noticeably calmed down.
The Insect King couldn't help but feel a little smug. It seemed that these little brats were quite obedient to it!
Maybe it really was the king of the phantom worms before!
Fengxi is very satisfied with the performance of the insect queen, but it is now uncertain whether the juvenile moths have also gone into hibernation.
By the afternoon, Fengxi noticed that although the Ghost Guard was screaming just as badly as yesterday, it was clearly not as terrible as yesterday.
It seems that the demonic insects are indeed showing signs of dormancy, but they are not completely dormant yet.
Fearing that the Ghost Guard's unusual behavior would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, she let out a loud scream, like a pig being slaughtered!
Junwen and the others quickly followed!
Shen Zhilan cursed Feng Xi in her heart, but could only pinch her thigh and scream in pain.
The other ghost guards fell silent for a moment, then their screams grew louder.
Fengxi's eyes lit up!
It seems these ghost guards do indeed possess a physical consciousness; her plan is feasible!
However, she can't do too much now, lest she alert the enemy.
In addition, they cannot disappear for too long; they must leave tonight.
After making up her mind, Fengxi told Junwen and the others about her plan.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so oppressive inside this cave, even more so than inside the Broken Ridge Cave.
Unfortunately, plans change quickly. Just as they finished discussing the matter, the group of shadow guards who had come to collect the corpses arrived.
"Everyone follow me!"
The ghost guards lined up and followed behind the shadow guards.
Fengxi and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
Shen Zhilan cursed inwardly, "I said I was leaving last night, but that bitch Liu Yiyi insisted on disagreeing. Now she wants to get away, but she probably can't."
Fengxi and the others were led to a more spacious stone hall, where many human-shaped cocoons hung upside down from the ceiling.
The shadow guards instructed the ghost guards: "Smear your blood on the cocoons to attract the demonic insects inside them to break free quickly."
The Ghost Guards moved slightly slower, but the Shadow Guards didn't mind, because these undead were somewhat sluggish except when they were on missions.
Shen Zhilan was constantly sending secret telepathic messages to Fengxi:
"Now that they're letting you bleed, what do you suggest we do?"
Who knows what the consequences will be if I smear blood on it? I told you I'd leave yesterday, but you wouldn't listen..."
