Chapter 207: Saint Lady Dies, Gu King Dies
It took several days before all the Mi people woke up.
Most of the Mi people were unconscious for a whole day. After waking up, the first thing they did was to rush to clean up the filth on their bodies, and then they couldn't wait to leave the Mi clan. As a result, they suddenly discovered that there was a huge formation outside the Mi clan, which made it impossible for them to leave!
It was then that they suddenly remembered that in order to prevent anyone from affecting the sacrifice, the patriarch had deliberately set up a maze to prevent anyone from entering or leaving!
With no other choice, they could only continue to stay here.
But they were forced to stay after all. They had finally escaped from a place that was attacked by poison gas bombs and had no intention of going back. So it was impossible to ask them to go back and rescue their people.
Only a few people will go back to bring their relatives and friends out, and the rest of the people who have no relatives or friends can only continue to lie on the ground.
The chief witch and the priest were the third group to wake up, thanks to the fact that they were standing some distance away from the sacrifice site. Otherwise, they would have suffered the same fate as the patriarch and would have been knocked unconscious by the smoke.
The first thing they did after waking up was to arrange for their tribesmen to clean up the scene.
Although the Great Witch, the Priest, the Clan Leader, and the Saint are four different forces and there are usually some conflicts and struggles between them, they are still relatively united when faced with major events.
They didn't care about adding insult to injury to the clan leader's behavior. One of them was responsible for taking care of the hungry poisonous insects that had been hungry for two days, and the other was responsible for cleaning up the smelly scene. They were already very busy, so how could they have any free time to do something else?
It was four days later when the patriarch woke up. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask others about their sacrifices.
The people who were caught were feeling impatient and resentful. After all, everyone knew that it was because of the clan leader that they were all knocked unconscious by the smoke.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only endure it, so he said nervously: "Patriarch, have you forgotten? The sacrifice failed..."
"Failed?!" The patriarch's voice was very loud, as if he was completely unwilling to believe what he heard.
The tribesman resisted the urge to cover his ears and leave, and nodded: "Yes, it failed. The saint's child, exploded..."
When mentioning Fang Qingyao, the clan leader looked embarrassed, apparently recalling some not-so-pleasant memories.
"It exploded..." The patriarch now remembered what had happened, but he was unwilling to believe it.
Failed……
How could it fail?
What will he do if he fails?
What should the Mi people do now?
Before the patriarch could think about this, he suddenly heard loud shouts from other people outside.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Saint is dead!"
As soon as these words came out, the clan leader's face changed drastically. He forced himself to run out quickly despite his discomfort.
At this moment, inside the Mi tribe's temple, Hua Linlang, dressed in white, was kneeling in the middle of the temple. From the looks of it, she looked like she was praying for something.
The person who was cleaning the temple thought so too. Although he was also very curious why the saint who had not been seen for more than ten years suddenly appeared in the temple, he did not think much about it.
But after he had cleaned the entire temple, he saw that the saint was still kneeling in the same posture as before he entered, and he began to feel a little uneasy.
He asked twice, but received no response. The man who was cleaning the temple gradually had a bad feeling in his heart. He slowly approached the saint and spoke as he approached, but the other party did not respond at all.
Until he stretched out his hand tremblingly, feeling the breath completely disappear under his nose, his legs suddenly softened and he collapsed directly to the ground, then he rolled and crawled out of the temple, shouting loudly -
"Oh no! Oh no! The Saint is gone!"
Following his shouts, the great witch, the priest, and the clan leader arrived at the scene one after another. After they confirmed that the saint was really dead, they felt confused and complicated.
The first one to react was the Great Witch.
"Where is the Gu King?" These three short words startled everyone.
Several female tribesmen were called over by the tribe leader to search the body of the saint.
"No, the Gu King is not on the Saint!"
"How is that possible!" No one believed it.
Because everyone knows that the Gu King likes the Saint the most, how could he not be with the Saint?
If not on the saint, where else could it be?
The Great Wizard didn't know what he was thinking of, his face suddenly changed, and he ran towards the Wan Gu Pool. The others looked at the direction he left, guessed something, and hurriedly followed him.
The death of the Saint is a foregone conclusion. They can choose a new Saint. Although the new Saint will definitely not be as good as the previous one, let alone Hua Linlang, the genius of the past few hundred years, at least she can stabilize the situation.
But the Gu King is different.
They must find the Gu King!
Once the Gu King disappears, their Mi clan will be doomed!
Because the new Gu King must transform after the next Gu King eats the corpse of the previous Gu King, and only then can he possess strength that exceeds that of other Gu insects and make all the Gu insects submit!
This is also the reason why the Gu King must die before a new Gu King can appear.
After all, the new Gu King came to power by stepping on the corpse of the previous Gu King!
Once the body of the Gu King disappears, the Gu worms will definitely fight!
Although they usually use this method to select the most powerful poisonous insects, they only do this when the King of Poison is still around.
But if there is no Gu King, all the Gu will fall into an endless slaughter until only the last Gu worm survives!
This was the method used to cultivate the Gu King a long time ago, but since the emergence of the Gu King, the Mi tribe has never used a method that requires such great losses to cultivate the Gu King again.
"The King of Gu! Let's find out where the King of Gu is!" The Great Witch's idea was very simple. The King of Gu was most likely to appear in two places. The first was beside Hua Linlang, and the other was undoubtedly the Wan Gu Pool.
Although King Gu is quite disobedient, he will not leave the Mi tribe at least. Everyone can be sure of this.
After a thorough search by a group of people, they finally found the corpse of the Gu King near the Wan Gu Pond...
……
……
"Ms. Jin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, our family would probably never be reunited in this lifetime." Fang Qingyao grabbed Jin Jiu's hand with tears on her face, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Jinjiu was not used to having someone hold her hand, but seeing Fang Qingyao so excited, she didn't say anything, and Fang Qingyao soon let go.
