CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 635 WU BAYI

This is a type of Yellow Spring torture device, each needle’s position is meticulously planned, piercing the target’s special nerves, filling the target’s body with pain, yet not causing immediate death.

The Yellow Spring torture device adjusts the position of the steel needles according to the physical structure of different races, targeting not only the Human Race but also other Yi Tribes treated as egg sheaths, due to their unique consciousness.

That means the steel needle board is effective against the Meat-Winged Monster too!

The steel needle board pinches Wu Tian, making him suffer unbearable pain, his screams echoing continuously.

Normally, he would use this torture device to cruelly torment and kill humans, but he never imagined he would become the target of it!

Wu Tian’s screams lasted for a long time before disappearing, crushed into a puddle of Yellow Spring water, vanishing on the ground.

Uncle Liang looked in horror at Wu Tian, who had been crushed by the steel needle board, sweat breaking out from the fright. Being crushed by the steel needle board was excruciating, and the heart-wrenching screams made his heart tremble.

If it weren’t for Xiang Beifei’s intervention, he might have been crushed to death by the steel needle board.

"Is this...is this how they slaughter us humans?"

Even though Jiang Feng had strong composure, he shuddered in fear when facing these vicious torture devices. Thinking about how his father and grandfather devotedly worshiped the Moon God all their lives, only to be brought here and slaughtered by these cruel means, sadness filled his heart.

People from Changpan Valley have been supervised all these years to cultivate diligently and to be grateful for the Moon God for granting them the right to cultivate, sending outstanding humans from the tribe here every year to receive the Moon God’s baptism, only to face this kind of fate.

The three stood silently in place, feeling terrible inside.

"My condolences," Xiang Beifei said.

"We must destroy this place!" Uncle Liang said through gritted teeth.

"I will."

Xiang Beifei needs to thoroughly understand the situation here first.

He stood by the blood pool, looking at the bubbling pool, then squatted down, stirring the blood water with a long bone. Spiritual Power slightly vibrated, and suddenly the blood pool began to gurgle, with many Moonprint Gu Worms swimming up from the bottom, swarming in panic.

These Moonprint Gu Worms were no longer flat; instead, they seemed to have absorbed the blood aura here and started growing limbs, resembling a miniature version of the Meat-Winged Monster, with two budding meat wings on their backs.

"Xiao Houzi hasn’t cultivated to the full moon, so the Moonprint Gu Worm parasitizing him shouldn’t be able to hatch yet, right?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Celestial maiden Guanghui seemed very angry but still nodded.

"Where would Xiao Houzi’s Moonprint be?" Jiang Shan asked urgently.

Xiang Beifei looked inquiringly at celestial maiden Guanghui.

"It should be at the very bottom," celestial maiden Guanghui replied resentfully.

The Moonprint Gu Worms in different blood pools are different. On this blood bone-composed mountain, the eggs in the lowest blood pool are still in their initial form, just like when taken from a human’s wrist, while higher-up eggs have started growing towards the Meat-Winged Monster’s form.

Eggs at different stages are in different pools, and the higher the pool, the closer the eggs are to hatching.

Before arriving, Xiang Beifei had already learned many related details about the Meat-Winged Monster from celestial maiden Guanghui.

After cultivating on a human’s wrist till the full moon, the Meat-Winged Monster must then incubate here for two more years to become fully formed. Most of these pools contain human blood, and some contain desolate beast blood; the eggs need to absorb the essence of the pool to grow.

Different pools have different powers; when one pool’s essence cannot satisfy the eggs anymore, they will automatically crawl to other pools.

They quickly arrived at the bottom layer of the flesh-and-blood mountain, where Xiang Beifei waved his Spiritual Power, stirring out all the Moonprint Gu Worms. The Moonprint Gu Worms here are still incubating, without the features of the Meat-Winged Monster appearing.

"What will you do after finding that egg? If an unhatched egg returns, even if it hasn’t completely devoured your human soul, you can hardly bring a person back to life, can you?" celestial maiden Guanghui snorted coldly.

When Moonprint Gu Worms parasitize a human, they connect to the human’s meridians and erode the human soul. When humans encounter danger, they immediately detach from the human, taking away the human soul to seek self-preservation.

Thus, when humans in Changpan Valley go hunting, desolate beasts rarely kill them, as the Moonprint Gu Worms seeking self-preservation flee before desolate beasts swallow them, resulting in human death.

The reason Moonprint Gu Worms take human souls is to extract power from them, allowing them to escape back here, awaiting a new round of parasitic assignment or directly hatching here.

Once they absorb all the soul’s power, it becomes irreversible.

"Xiao Houzi won’t be harmed." Jiang Shan said through clenched teeth.

"Whether he will be harmed is not something this vile beast can decide," celestial maiden Guanghui sneered.

Xiang Beifei continued searching among the Moonprint Gu Worms, while Xiaohei rolled his eyes and simply jumped into the blood pool, swimming around.

They were familiar with Xiao Houzi’s aura, so it wasn’t hard to find him.

"Woof woof!"

Soon, Xiaohei poked his head out, finding a Moonprint Gu Worm.

This Moonprint Gu Worm was still crescent-shaped, having hardly cultivated, still retaining Xiao Houzi’s aura.
