"Damn it, where is that flute music coming from? Don't let me catch them."
Ke Jing took out the gun in his hand and fired several shots into the woods not far away.
Suddenly, a figure fell from a tree, still holding a bamboo flute in his hand.
"Captain, you're a sharpshooter! You hit it even from here!"
"This sorceress is also a woman, and she's quite good-looking."
The security team behind Ke Jing, looking at the sorceress under the tree being hit by the gun, showed mischievous smiles.
"Stop flattering me, all of you, come with me. What kind of sorceress is she? She's no match for me."
"Brothers, charge together and capture her for the captain..."
The security team, upon receiving the order, rushed towards the Miao sorceress under the tree, their mouths watering.
The Miao sorceress was as beautiful as a celestial being, mesmerizing the security team who had forgotten she was a sorceress.
Shi Jian and the monk, who had finished dealing with the remaining Gu corpses, shouted to Ke Jing and the security team, "It's an illusion technique, don't go any closer!"
The two of them saw through the sorceress's trick at a glance, but it was too late.
Under the effect of the illusion technique, the security team still didn't stop, rushing towards the Miao sorceress.
Just as everyone was about to get close to the sorceress, the female sorceress on the ground threw out several Gu worms.
The next moment, the Gu worms bit the necks of the security team. Their lips instantly turned black, their bodies gradually turned black, and they lost all signs of life.
"Lust is a blade above one's head. This is going to be bad."
Shi Jian glanced at Li Xuyan beside him and found that he was not affected by the illusion technique.
"The Yin-Yang Eyes can also be immune to evil arts!"
"Good disciple, stay here for a while. I'll go deal with that sorceress first."
Seeing that Li Xuyan was unaffected by the evil arts, he felt much relieved. Then, he clenched the Purple霄 divine thunder and blasted it towards the distant sorceress.
Under the pressure of the Purple霄 thunder technique, the sorceress had no choice but to give up the illusion technique and turn to dodge.
"Damn it, I almost capsized in the gutter."
Ke Jing, who had escaped the sorceress's control, fired a few shots at the direction the sorceress had fled.
However, he had few bullets left in his handgun, and it ran out of bullets by the third shot.
The remaining security team slowly recovered, panting heavily, and felt fortunate to have escaped from the clutches of death.
"You bunch of useless idiots, you can't even walk properly when you see a woman."
"Hurry up and search. You must find that sorceress for me, your captain."
"Even if the Jade Emperor or Jesus himself came, they couldn't save this sorceress today."
Ke Jing, with the remaining thirteen security team members, angrily chased after the sorceress.
"Don't go in, don't fall for that demon's trick."
The monk reminded the security team, but it was futile.
With anger boiling, the security team didn't care if it was a trap, they just wanted to kill the Miao sorceress.
"Amitabha, Daoist master, let's hurry in and save them, otherwise, the security team might die in there."
The monk didn't rush in immediately to fight the Miao sorceress.
He knew that his magical powers were weak and he couldn't defeat the Miao sorceress, so he thought of entering the woods with Shi Jian.
Having a powerful Daoist who could cast thunder techniques by his side gave him a sense of security.
"Li Xuyan!"
Li Xuyan heard Shi Jian call and immediately ran over.
"Master, there's something wrong with the woods, there are many Gu worms inside."
"Gu worms? There are many Gu worms in the woods?"
"Amitabha, it's good that this humble monk didn't enter, otherwise I would have truly seen my Buddha."
The monk patted his chest, clearly frightened by this statement, and kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Upon hearing about the Gu worms in the woods, Shi Jian thought of the Gu forest of Miao Jiang.
The Mao Shan scriptures had little record of black witchcraft, but a lot of records of white witchcraft.
Among the scriptures, there was a description of the Gu-raising technique.
Typically, black sorcerers from Miao Jiang would choose an extremely Yin place and capture some living people to raise various Gu worms.
Such a place was called a Gu forest, and ordinary people who entered it had no chance of survival.
"When we go in later, you must stay close to me and don't get distracted."
After Shi Jian's reminder, he led Li Xuyan into the Gu forest, and the monk followed closely behind.
Not long after the three of them entered the Gu forest, white bones began to appear all around them.
"May Buddha have mercy. This humble monk will offer salvation to all these benefactors."
The monk clasped his hands together, recited some Buddhist scriptures in the Gu forest, and was then interrupted by Shi Jian beside him.
"Hurry up and find the sorceress, don't waste too much time in here."
"Benefactors, after I finish dealing with the sorceress, I will come back to offer you salvation."
The monk picked up his Zen staff and was about to leave when a Gu worm appeared in front of him.
"Wicked creature, how dare you appear before this humble monk!"
The monk, holding his Zen staff, smashed the Gu worm on the ground into a pulp.
After eliminating the Gu worm, the monk proudly continued to follow Shi Jian.
"Master, there are too many Gu worms ahead, they are everywhere, and we can't avoid them."
Li Xuyan, looking at the dense Gu corpses in front of him with his Yin-Yang Eyes, trembled slightly.
"You stand behind your master. All those Gu worms will be handled by me."
Dark clouds instantly covered the entire Gu forest, and purple lightning flickered in and out.
The monk was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
"Master, this is the thunder technique of Taoism. It's even more powerful than my Buddhist body-refining divine skill."
Shi Jian raised his palm to the sky and borrowed a powerful Purple霄 divine thunder.
"Hiss, borrowing thunder from the sky! I didn't expect the Daoist master's thunder technique to be so profound. This humble monk is truly ignorant."
Seeing Shi Jian covered in purple lightning, the monk quickly retreated a dozen steps.
"Xuyan, stand back a little, be careful not to get caught in the blast."
Li Xuyan, looking at Shi Jian, who was as dazzling as the sun, with his Yin-Yang Eyes, quickly closed his eyes and moved to the side.
"Yang Wu Lei Fa, Zi Xiao Divine Thunder!"
The next second, Shi Jian controlled the Purple霄 divine thunder and blasted it towards the Gu forest in front of him.
With a thunderous explosion, the Gu forest and the Gu worms instantly turned into ashes.
"Xuyan, see if Ke Jing and the others are dead."
Li Xuyan heard Shi Jian's words, opened his eyes, and checked the surroundings.
"I can't see anyone. They should have died from the Gu worms, or from the thunder technique just now."
"I can't see them. It's probably because the Yin-Yang Eyes can only see some evil spirits and extremely Yin objects."
Shi Jian, along with Li Xuyan and the monk, continued to walk deeper into the Gu forest.
After more than ten minutes, the three of them reached the deepest part of the Gu forest and saw the corpses of Ke Jing and the security team.
Moreover, Gu worms were still wriggling on the bodies of the security team, crawling into their bodies and attempting to control the corpses to attack the three of them.
"May Buddha have mercy. This Gu forest is so large, there are at least tens of thousands of Gu worms in here. I really don't know how many people have died in the Gu forest."
Shi Jian glanced at the monk and used his Lightning Flash Thunder Fist to blast the corpses of Ke Jing and the security team into ashes.
