Chapter 176: Gu Bird
Inside the camp, the entire Huang's Trading Company had already taken action and continued to move forward in the night.
This time, Wei Xingwu, who had reached the peak of Life Soul Realm, led the way, while Qi Jinsong, another person who had reached the peak of Life Soul Realm, followed at the end of the team.
The two strongest fighters are deployed at the front and rear to prevent various emergencies.
This time, Yang Qing was assigned to the front of the team, only a few horse lengths away from Wei Xingwu. I don't know if this was because of Yan Hongyuan.
After all, Yang Qing had captured a cultivator from the Beast Taming Mountain before, so there was no doubt about his skills.
When Yang Qing left the camp, to be on the safe side, he used his magical power of seeing through walls to see if there were any enemies lurking outside the camp.
Then, Yang Qing saw a small bird like a sparrow on a tree outside the camp, monitoring the camp.
And at this moment, a faint black gas was coming out of the body of this little bird.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was a tiny poisonous insect crawling on its cervical vertebrae, controlling its body.
And a faint black gas line was also passing through the poisonous insect and extending into the distance.
Yang Qing turned his head and looked along the faint energy line, and immediately saw the Black Miao monk several thousand meters away.
On the other hand, the cultivator from Taming Beasts Mountain happened to see through the sight of the poisonous bird and discovered that after Yang Qing saw the poisonous bird, he turned his sight directly in his direction.
Then, a scene that made the monk from the Beast Taming Mountain even more terrified happened. Yang Qing smiled at the poisonous bird, then flicked his sleeves, and a flying knife shot towards the poisonous bird perched on the tree.
The next moment, the cultivator from the Beast Taming Mountain completely lost contact with the poisonous bird.
"No! We have to retreat quickly."
The monk from the Beast Taming Mountain said in panic.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"My poisonous bird has been killed. Someone has discovered our whereabouts. Let's retreat quickly."
"So impressive! We are about 2,000 to 3,000 meters away from the camp!
How is that person's cultivation? Is he one of those guys who have reached the Perfect Soul Realm?"
"No, he must have practiced some special skills. I suspect that Hei Que was killed by that guy."
"Ah! If that's the case, then his death was not unjust. Let's separate and retreat. We'll meet at the old place later."
"it is good!"
Then the two figures left quickly.
In the camp, Yang Qing's behavior of shooting birds casually attracted the attention of several people.
It was just killing a few birds, no one would care.
It is understandable that people who practice cultivation are indifferent to life and have a few special hobbies.
But this is an extraordinary period, and any small action will lead to doubts.
"What are you doing? Why did you shoot that bird for no reason? Did you want to deliberately leave a bloody mark?"
Behind Yang Qing, a cultivator shouted angrily.
As soon as this voice came out, it immediately caused panic and commotion among many people in the team.
"You temporary hires are indeed unreliable. Now I have every reason to suspect that you are a spy sent by the enemy, lurking in our caravan and deliberately leaving signals."
After saying that, the monk jumped down from his mount, with the soul weapon already in his hand and pointed directly at Yang Qing.
"Boy, give up resistance and kneel down for inspection!
You'd better tell the truth, so you can get less punishment."
Many people in the caravan couldn't help but whisper when they saw this scene.
"Yan Bin is a good guy. Although he has a hot temper, he is very thoughtful.
Otherwise, how could we tell at a glance that the guy deliberately shot the prey and left a mark. "
"Yes! Yes! If it were you, the shopkeeper shouldn't have invited so many outsiders in. In the past, with just the people in our caravan, we were able to deliver the goods safely."
As everyone was watching the fun, Wei Xingwu and Manager Huang, who were walking in front, also heard the noise and looked over.
Yang Qing also jumped off his horse and said, "You said that I was a spy sent by the Beast Control Mountain to plant in the caravan, but did you know that I was the one who captured the Beast Control Mountain monk before?
If I were a spy, why would I risk the lives of my teammates just to gain your trust?
Haha, since when did the trust of your caravan become so valuable?"
Yang Qing's words made the cultivator's expression freeze. He was stationed somewhere else before and was not in the camp. He only knew that someone had killed a cultivator from the Beast Taming Mountain, but he didn't know who that person was.
But when he heard Yang Qing say that he was that person, he immediately felt a little speechless.
But when he thought that Yang Qing was just a temporary member hired by the caravan, he couldn't help but argue: "Who knows if this is your trick of inflicting pain on yourself.
Besides, if we want a living monk, it would be easier, and we could torture him to get some useful information, but what you handed over is just a corpse, which can't prove anything."
"Then you'll have to ask Yan Hongyuan from your caravan. He was still alive when I gave it to him."
As soon as the words fell, Yan Hongyuan, who was not far away, showed an embarrassed look on his face. He had no idea that the figure Yang Qing threw to him was the captured cultivator from the Beast Taming Mountain, and he just chopped him down with a single knife.
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
Seeing his caravan members being humiliated, Manager Huang finally spoke up.
“Young Master Long, these young men in my caravan are still a little rough, but they are not targeting you intentionally, so please forgive me.
But you deliberately shot a small bird at this time. We really don't understand the meaning of it. Please explain it to us."
"Yeah, don't tell us you're practicing flying knives!
We do not accept this explanation.”
Seeing that his boss had spoken, the monk who had previously accused Yang Qing stepped forward with ridicule, ready to capture Yang Qing if his explanation was unreasonable.
“When I found the bird, its eyes were already grey.
If what I expected is correct, I'm afraid that its body has already been controlled by the poisonous insect. If I don't kill it, do I have to wait for it to pass on all our information?"
Yang Qing explained calmly.
"Really! Let me see!"
The monk obviously did not believe Yang Qing's explanation. Hearing this, he hurriedly picked up the bird that Yang Qing had shot before, and with the flying knife that was still stuck in its body, he used all his strength to cut the bird open.
Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, a small insect similar to a mole cricket appeared before everyone.
“Is this the Gu worm?”
Shopkeeper Huang murmured.
Although he had traveled in Miao territory for many years, he had only seen the Miao people using poisonous insects to kill people, and had never seen real poisonous insects.
Everyone was stunned when they heard a loud bang.
The poisonous insects exploded immediately when exposed to the air.
The explosion was not loud and the area affected was not wide, but the monk who was holding the bird's corpse was hit directly.
The venom from the exploding insect splashed all over him.
Then a pungent corrosive smell filled the air, and the monk who was hit howled in pain and kept scratching the part of his body that was hit with his hands.
Some people in the team wanted to go forward to rescue him, but the tragic sight of the monk struggling was horrifying.
After that, he only held on for three or four breaths before falling to the ground and dying.
This shocked everyone even more.
Wei Xingwu then reacted immediately and questioned Yang Qing angrily.
“Since you know there are poisonous insects lurking in the spine of birds, you must also know that these poisonous insects can explode!
Don't tell me you didn't deliberately lead him to cut open the bird's body to reveal the poisonous insects!"
