Flying Dust Chapter 86.2:
On the other side, Jun Wushuang and Lu Qingmo were sitting back to back with each other.
“How many days are left?” Jun Wushuang threw the water bag to Lu Qingmo.
“We should be able to find the oasis within two days.” Lu Qingmo took a sip, “How much water do we have left?”
“There is enough water left to keep us from being sunburned into dry corpses for three days.” Jun Wushuang tilts his head, “How much do you know about the Blood Worshippers?”
Lu Qingmo handed a map to Jun Wushuang, “Bai Jingxi has marked out where Qu XiRuo might be held.”
“This guy has been to the Blood Worshipping Cult?”
“Hn, or else how do you think he knows so much about compulsion?”
Two days later, Jun Wushuang and Lu Qingmo looked at the oasis in front of them with an unreal feeling.
Shaking off the thick dust on their bodies, their chapped lips gave them a taste of blood.
In the center of the oasis was a palace-like building, rich and magnificent. The most incredible thing about it is that you can’t see the door.
“I finally understand why everyone in the Central Plains wants to eliminate the Blood Worshippers, but no one has ever succeeded.”
“It is because very few people can survive to come here.”
Jun Wushuang raised his eyes to look at the still dazzling daylight, “How do I get in?”
“We’ll talk about that when we see the watchdog.” Lu Qingmo walks towards the front, passing the curved pool of water without stopping, his sword energy glides against the surface of the water, outlining a water ripple, followed by a few noises, several people in the forest on the side of the pool of water fall down.
Jun Wushuang followed him, and the two of them traveled to the other side of the waterhole, bypassing the corpses of the Blood Worshippers.
“I bet the door is around here.”
Lu Qingmo bent down and wanted to find out what those followers were carrying, but when he turned his face to see the two statues, he smiled, “It seems that the Blood Worshipping Cult also has a door.”
Bypassing the dense forest, the two came to the two statues.
They were only knee-high, which is why Lu Qingmo lowered himself to see them. However, there was still a wall in front of the statues, Jun Wushuang used his palm to test it with his inner strength, the wall was very thick, if he shattered it with his inner strength, it would surely attract attention. Lu Qingmo scrutinized the two statues, the one on the left was a snake, slithering and spitting out its letter. The one on the right is a scorpion waving its pincers.
“What did you find out?” Jun Wushuang tilted his head in amusement.
Lu Qingmo’s fingers skimmed over the cracks in the statue, “I think we need to go back and ask those religious people to ‘borrow’ something.”
They returned to the forest, only to see countless bugs clinging to the corpses and gnawing on them, the white bones could be seen faintly.
After the bugs dispersed, Lu Qingmo folded a tree branch and picked up their clothes, and found two cast iron medallions with some special patterns on them, one was carved with a snake, and the other was carved with a scorpion.
“Looks like we’ve found the key to the Blood Worshipping Sect’s gate.” Lu Qingmo threw one of them to Jun Wushuang, and the two of them went back to the statue and inserted those two iron plates into the crevices and twisted them at the same time, while the walls twisted and turned, a passageway appeared in front of them.
Lu Qingmo was about to remind Jun Wushuang to be careful of the mechanism, the other side suddenly attacked using his sword, sword qi along the wall dissipated in the darkness. Jun Wushuang turned his head and smiled, then raised his feet and walked in, with Lu Qingmo following behind him.
“Are you sure those little bugs won’t come to trouble us?”
“Did you forget that you drank that bottle of powdered water Bai Jingxi gave you? It will keep you free from the Gu Worms’s corrosion for a year.”
As they walked inside, they couldn’t hide their surprise.
Instead of being a palace, the Blood Worshippers were more like a treasure trove.
They entered an open space and looked up at the roof, the highest point of the Blood Worshippers, with layers and layers of separation clearly visible, and they were now in the center. It was surrounded by twenty-two pillars, between which were galleries leading to different places.
The walls were inlaid with jewels, and the columns were carved with gilt.
“All poisonous.” Jun Wushuang tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Which way?”
As soon as the words fell, a few religious people approached, and the two of them leapt up with their lightweight skills (Qing gong), hiding above their heads, only to fall down after they had entered the long corridor separately.
Lu Qingmo opened Bai Jingxi’s map and looked at it, “It should be that way.”
That corridor was connected to another room, with five or six disciples guarding it.
Jun Wushuang gave a wink, and the two of them rushed out from two directions at the same time with their sword energy, drawing a circle that instantly pierced through the necks of the six worshippers, and they collapsed without even a chance to moan.
Jun Wushuang walked over and Lu Qingmo looked around.
There was a fence on the ground, made of pure iron from the Western Regions, and underneath the fence was a dungeon.
“Have you seen Qu Xi Ruo?”
“Yes I’ve seen it, but it’s troublesome to save her.”
Lu Qingmo walked over, from the fence, he could see a woman sitting paralyzed in the dungeon, with her head bowed, her face was not visible, and the dungeon was filled with various kinds of compulsion worms, slowly crawling. The big compels kept devouring the small compels for food, while the small compels united to tear down the stronger compels in order to survive. But strangely enough, the compotes were all some distance away from the woman.
Jun Wushuang pointed to the incense burner in front of him with his chin, guessing that it was the smell from the burner that had kept Gu Worms from using him as food yet still keeping an eye on him.
“These Gu Worms look quite impressive.” The corners of Jun Wushuang’s mouth were in a playful smile.
Lu Qingmo reached out and pinched the chain of the fence, which cracked with the sound of his inner strength. Pulling the fence up, the two of them jumped down, each using their inner strength to shake it, and before they landed, they saw the compulsion bugs on the ground making a snorting sound, and surprisingly, all of them shattered.
Qu Xiruo lowered her head, both hands and feet each having a silk thread leading, extending to the four corners of the dungeon.
Lu Qingmo was just about to go forward to check, but Jun Wushuang yanked him back.
“Whoever you are, it’s really hard for you to wait here for us for so long.” Jun Wushuang’s smile was like the edge of a knife, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
Lu Qingmo was stunned, and only then did he realize that he had been too careless. Although this woman was pretending to be depressed, her body looked healthy, not weakened by her imprisonment, showing that her wrists and calves were not thin.
The woman slowly raised her head, revealing a flashy smile, “I thought I had fooled you.”
Lu Qingmo frowned, “Kemoluo…”
Jun Wushuang lightly hummed, this woman really has time to spare, and even locked herself in the dungeon just to lure them here.
“Did Bai Jingxi tell you that the Blood Worshipping Sect’s dungeon is here?” Kemoluo slowly stood up, the four insects in the corner of the wall crawled back along the silk thread, came to her fingers, and then drilled into her sleeve, “He is really a fool. He also did not think that after so many years, how can the location of the dungeon not change?”
