Xianjun has a disaster

Scarlet flames blazed above the silver mirror.

Unlike the flames in the mortal world, the flames were neither dazzling nor bright, just red.

It was so bright red that it seemed that thick red blood could ooze from it at any time.

It solidified in mid-air in a ball, expanding slightly and then shrinking regularly like the heart of a living person. The smooth mirror surface of the sea of ​​nothingness reflected the fire, and in the red lotus-like reflection, there was Countless fine and dark shadows are squirming.

It's a human bug.

The flame was right in front of the huge tree shadow of the Dinghai Shenmu, and in the place covered by the fire, there were countless human insects constantly gnawing at the huge twisted roots of the Shenmu under the water surface.

Each of those human bugs is about the same size as a real human being, but compared with the Dinghai Shenmu, they are as small as real bugs.But even so, in the place where humans and insects gathered, on the roots of the Dinghai Shenmu, which seemed to be unchanged forever and would never be disturbed by any intrusion, rough wounds visible to the naked eye had already appeared.

The Dinghai Shenmu is the support of this world, and it is impossible for any crooked ways to get close to it, let alone hurt it.

However, the immortals who have been recognized by the Dao of Heaven can do it—even if these immortals have already transformed into disgusting bugs because of the chaotic impurities in this small world.

They were driven here, and then gnawed on the Dinghai Shenmu unconsciously.

Just like what the Heavenly Emperor said, after eating the Dinghai Shenmu for a short period of time, these human insects will indeed fall to the ground, and then regenerate human flesh and blood while trembling, breaking through the weird, hard insect shell, Just so bluntly reincarnated as a human.But for these worms, getting a human body is definitely not a blessing. After a short period of stupefaction, they looked around, and then they screamed horribly.

then……

They will be discovered by the unusually large "beetle", that clumsy, ugly thing raises its ferocious mouthparts, and can devour those mad fairy monarchs in one bite.

Noticing the meal of the "beetle", the human insects who were still eating the tree roots squirmed for a moment, and then quickly returned to calm.

Having completely lost their wisdom, they, who were only left with instinct, naturally didn't realize that at that moment just now, a thin figure drifted to the bottom of the flame through the gap of commotion.

Ji Xueting's face was as white as paper, and his figure looked extremely thin in contrast to the bloated bugs beside him.

In this position, the "beetles" who watch over the man bugs only need to turn their heads to see him clearly, but he doesn't seem to care.

Ji Xueting raised his head expressionlessly and stared at the real phoenix fire above his head. Under the bright red light, his expression was particularly unpredictable.

Then he raised his hand, and sent out a spell directly towards Phoenix Fire——

"Boom—"

The strong air current swelled in an instant, and ripples suddenly appeared on the silver surface of the Sea of ​​Nothingness.

A thick water dragon shot out, its head and most of its body were composed of translucent water, while the other end of its tail was directly hidden in Ji Xueting's palm.

The water dragon raised its head, let out a long and silent howl, and went straight to the real fire of the phoenix.

And it wasn't until this time, in the Wuhai space created by Phoenix True Fire, that the guards used to guard the humans and insects - those strange half-human, half-insect soldiers had time to look back at Ji Xueting.

The sharp neighing sound instantly spread in the air, and the large number of human insects quickly gathered together and rushed towards Ji Xueting.

As for the Phoenix True Flame... it shrank instantly under the attack of the water dragon, and the light dimmed a lot.

The water dragon let out a long moan, and swallowed the scarlet fireball in one gulp.

The pale and thin Xianjun raised his head and stared at all this quietly——

In the next second, the phoenix real flame disappeared.

But the water dragon had already started to vaporize rapidly from its head, and turned into a cloud of white mist in an instant.

At the same time, countless human insects swarmed out from the place where the white-clothed fairy was, and submerged the thin figure in an instant.

Everything happened so fast, so fast.

When the phoenix true fire shrank back to the original scarlet fireball, the sea of ​​nothingness quickly returned to calm.

A few half-human, half-insect, huge monsters stretched out their front paws blankly, and roughly dispersed the swarm of insects rolled into a ball under the fireball.

"Caught one... hiss... finally..."

"That's great hiss... Your Highness should reward us..."

"Can I die this time?"

A bug said to his companion expressionlessly, but his tone was extremely joyful.

"The reward, the reward is total death."

His companion rolled his compound eyes and whispered enviously.

"Finally free."

"Yeah, I can finally be free."

"Mr. Taichang realized something was wrong a long time ago."

"Mr. Taichang felt something was wrong."

Those few bugs kept repeating fragmented words like puppets.

"It's hard to catch."

"Sure enough, it is still useful, that female moth is very powerful."

"After being cheated, you can catch the troublesome outsiders."

……

After a while, the movements of those bugs suddenly stopped for a moment.

In the next second, sharp insects began to hover over the surface of the sea of ​​nothingness.

Humans can feel their despair and anger even if they cannot understand the meaning at all.

And the reason why they were so angry was very simple - they were planning to pick out the captured fairy in white clothes, but after the humans and insects scattered away, only a handful of broken paper scraps remained in place .

……

"It really is a trap."

Standing not far away, hidden in the thick fog, Ji Xueting frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Another paper puppet wasted."

he grumbled.

"I didn't expect to find out so soon." Tianqu said sullenly, "Is it because the people who opened the channel are too common? That's why we realized so quickly that we have also entered here?"

Ji Xueting rubbed his eyebrows.

Driving the puppet with the current posture, Ji Xueting felt a bit difficult even in the body of a puppet.

"It is more likely that Mr. Taichang has gradually mastered the rules of this small world...I have used the invisibility spell all the way with you, and you have become like a snake from the beginning, if he just It is absolutely impossible for the person who opened the channel to notice something is wrong so quickly."

After speaking, Ji Xueting tapped the Sea of ​​Nothingness beside him.

The phoenix fire and the shadow of the Dinghai Shenmu, which were still clearly visible just now, were hidden in the dense mist in this short moment, and disappeared without a trace.

"Thinking about it, the things we saw just now, except for the few human bugs, are all fake. They are traps set by Mr. Taichang to lure us with the power of rules."

"But--"

Tianqu spat out the snake letter.

He looked a little unbelievable.

He looked at Ji Xueting as if he was hesitant to speak.

Ji Xueting also realized at this moment that what he said just now did not make sense.Wanting to set up such an illusion, only the owner of the small world can do so accurately aware of the existence of him and Tianqu.But this world is not an ordinary world, but a real ancient god set up to create his own family, some of which are even connected to chaos... How did Mr. Taichang intervene and control such a small world? ?

"Maybe it's the Emperor of Heaven?"

Tianqu guessed.

Ji Xueting shook his head: "No. I think the Emperor of Heaven is probably no longer in the Six Realms."

Otherwise, it is impossible for him to appear only as a phantom.

Judging from the clues they have found so far, Mr. Taichang seems to be the manipulator of everything.

Both of them were confused for a while, but not for too long.Ji Xueting suddenly patted Tianqu's head, and whispered to a looming shadow in the mist: "It seems that I have no choice but to find a way to find Mr. Taichang and ask him personally."

That figure was naturally the worm who came to arrest Ji Xueting before.

Compared with other human worms, his body is larger and his body is even more deformed. Only one face is still as good as before.

Ji Xueting suspected that he might have retained some sanity just like Fairy Lu.

After discovering that Ji Xueting left behind only a few pieces of paper, the other human worms seemed extremely at a loss, but it lowered its head first, and grabbed the scraps of paper left on the ground with its sharp claws.

"Got to report."

The worm turned around a few times and shouted.

The other worms ignored him.

Ever since they became worms, the minds of these immortal officials have become extremely chaotic. Even if they retain a little sanity, they are as naive as children.

"Woooooo, the reward is gone."

Several worms whimpered.

"We still have to live, we still have to live..."

……

The worms dragging the confetti stepped on the ground. It looked around the other worms indifferently, and suddenly raised its forelimbs impatiently.

After a few "Puff" sounds, all his companions fell to the ground, while he himself walked towards a certain direction with countless slender feet.

"Follow."

Before he had time to think about it, Ji Xueting and Tianqu followed closely behind the celebrity.

Not long after, they found that they had followed the worms to a familiar place, the Taichang Palace.

To be correct, it is the forged Taichang Palace.

The fake Taichang Palace is exactly the same as the real Taichang Palace in the fairy world. The only difference is that the Taichang Palace in the heaven is always crowded with people, but in the world of Yu Yishen, the Taichang Palace is extremely quiet and cold. .

The worm who wanted to report the situation to Mr. Taichang quickly stepped into the gate of Taichang Palace, but before Ji Xueting and Tianqu slipped in, the gate of Taichang Palace was already closed.

Not only that, outside the palace gate, there were densely packed human bugs, big and small.

Even if Tian Qudang wanted to transform back into a human body, he would use his divine power to kill all these gatekeepers before "sneaking" in.

But Ji Xueting stopped him.

"Need not……"

Ji Xueting said.

"If the Taichang Palace here is exactly the same as the current Taichang Palace, I should know where its back door is located."
