Chapter 107 The Power of Bewitching
Mo Mo also climbed down from the horse and followed behind.
As the two got closer, the terrifying roars became more frequent and violent.
After this terrifying cry was heard, the area around the valley became even quieter. The birds even flew away early. There was no movement on the ground at all, as if even the insects had shrank back into themselves.
She had clearly seen the evil corpse in the Tianshan Tomb. She was also afraid of the sound at first, but in the end she just felt it was annoying. As long as she was in a safe area, she was not afraid.
However, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Hu Qing's appearance!
After walking forward for a while, she saw a large sunken pit not far ahead. It was very deep, about three or four meters deep.
The walls of the deep pit were made of rocks, and the person trapped in the pit was Hu Qing, the leader of Taiyi Sect, as Ning Ji mentioned.
But at this time, he had already changed beyond recognition.
He sat in the pit, his back against the rock wall, his upper body bare, and the exposed skin was covered with dense blue-black scales, including his entire head. His head was round and had no hair, and from a distance he looked like a scaly beast.
Especially when he raised his head and looked over, his strange vertical pupils were as cold as a snake, and when he opened his mouth and roared, his sharp fangs were exposed, making him look even more like a monster beast.
roar~
He roared at the two of them again, with a threatening and intimidating tone.
Momo suddenly opened his mouth and screamed fiercely, but did not move forward.
Si He was so scared that she subconsciously took a step back.
Ning Ji held her hand tightly, turned sideways, stood in front of her, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, he can't move."
Ning Ji's words put her mind at ease, but she still held his arm with her other hand before she stuck her head out and looked at the person, or rather, the monster, in the pit again.
Sure enough, Hu Qing was indeed motionless, as if his body was fixed in place, with only his head able to move.
Si He then looked at him carefully and saw that he had a wound on his shoulder, as if caused by a sharp weapon. The wound was deep but not fatal. There seemed to be no wounds elsewhere on his body.
She asked curiously, "He...what happened?"
Ning Ji said, "I used drugs on him, so now he can't move his body except for his head. It's a good opportunity to train your eyes and see how long the bewitching power can last. If you use it well, he will be a powerful helper for us."
After hearing what he said, her eyes lit up.
She remembered Ning Ji saying last night that Hu Qing was vicious and not a good person. He had harmed many people in the past and had made them his medicine men. Moreover, he had always been at odds with Ning Ji, so she did not feel soft-hearted or hesitant about Ning Ji's proposal.
She had used this bewitching ability to kill people twice before, but at that time she didn't really notice how long it could last. Now that Ning Ji is here, she can better understand this ability.
Moreover, having a powerful helper is really helpful for escaping.
"Why did he look like this?" She was really curious. It seemed that in just a few days, Hu Qing had turned into such a monster!
Ning Ji looked at the frantic Hu Qing in the pit, his eyes darkening slightly. "The corpse poison he was infected with is different from the previous ones. Jiang Yuan must have added some wild animal toxins and some irritating drugs. That's why he reacted so quickly and was completely disfigured."
Si He frowned. At this moment, she was really glad that Jiang Yuan fed her spiritual essence instead of this poison. Otherwise, she might as well die. She was so ugly that she couldn't even show her face to others.
"What exactly does that old man Jiang want to do? He turns people into zombies in order to cultivate spiritual spirits, but what is his purpose in turning them into such monsters?" Si He was puzzled.
Ning Ji's lips curled up into a faint sneer, "Perhaps, it's his strange habit. Perhaps he also wants to try and see if such a monster can cultivate spiritual essence."
Si He pursed her lips slightly and said, "Okay, that might be the case."
Ning Ji continued, "Now that the four major sects in Lingcheng have been taken over by Jiang Yuan, he has imprisoned all of them in their respective dungeons. I believe that they have either turned into ferocious corpses or monsters like this."
He told her the information he had obtained from the county magistrate's mansion.
Si He was not too surprised. She had vaguely guessed it when she saw the people from Taiyi Sect, Hongyun Sect, and Baishi Sect fleeing in the same panic as them. Although Ning Ji had not said anything to her before, she was not stupid.
She remembered the contents of the parchment scroll. It was very difficult to cultivate spiritual spirits. Even if one raised a fierce corpse, one would have to wait for thousands of years, which was a very long time. Therefore, Old Man Jiang used his power to fabricate charges and arrest people in large numbers, just to cultivate a large number of spiritual spirits.
As long as he has enough spiritual energy, he can live so long and soberly.
This is longevity~
No wonder he would be so unscrupulous in killing people. She had seen it with her own eyes in the Tianshan Tomb before.
She looked at Hu Qing again, and after a while, she said, "Cousin, let me give it a try."
As long as it can be controlled well, even if there are pursuers, it can delay a lot of time, which can relieve a lot of pressure for Ning Ji.
"Okay." he responded.
Just do it.
Si He walked forward a few steps. She looked at Hu Qing's vertical pupils from afar, testing the distance.
In her previous two murders, she had done it at close range to ensure success, and she had never tried it from such a distance.
roar~
Hu Qing's roar let her know that being too far away was still not enough.
Ning Ji held her hand all the time and walked slowly with her. He would not look into her eyes at this moment, but he was always paying attention to her condition.
As the two men slowly approached, Hu Qing in the pit screamed more and more frantically.
Mo Mo followed closely behind.
Until Si He stood at the edge of the pit, about three meters away from Hu Qing, she looked directly into his terrifying vertical pupils.
At this moment, if you look closely, you can see a faint light in her eyes, which are slightly deep, strange and peculiar.
Hu Qing was also staring at her with a cold and fierce look.
The next moment, he stopped yelling, his eyes seemed to have lost their luster, and he just stared at her blankly. His state was just like those people who were controlled by her before. Now he was like a puppet, able to obey her orders.
Now she clearly understood that the ability of her eyes needed to be exerted within a range of three meters. Once under control, as long as she concentrated her mind and continued this invisible control, it could spread to a range of one hundred meters, just like when she controlled Sun Qiquan to commit suicide.
This kind of invisible control is hard to explain. Even if you look away, as long as you focus your mind, you can control it. It's very strange.
Si He withdrew her gaze, the faint light in her eyes dissipated, and she returned to normal, but her mind was still controlling that invisible magical power.
Now she has a better grasp of this power and is no longer as unskilled as she was at the beginning.
