905 Forbidden
At this moment, Jiang Ming had dodged the monster’s attack and stepped on the monster directly.
“Ah!”
The monster continued to roar, and its body began to grow larger.
Jiang Ming noticed the monster’s growth and knew that it was about to show its might, so he stepped on it even more fiercely.
When he stepped down, he added a stream of spiritual energy, which directly wrapped around the monster.
The monster could not grow bigger anymore. Jiang Ming stepped on it.
The monster could no longer roar. It could only whine like a dying rat. Finally, it disappeared on the spot.
The moment the monster disappeared, the craters disappeared as well, returning the ground to its original state.
However, the maggots did not disappear. Instead, they became even more frenzied.
Jiang Ming noticed that the maggots were immediately piling up together, and they were vaguely about to form a new monster. He could not help but worry.
He did not really care if the Xiaguo Kingdom was in trouble or not, but if the maggots formed a new monster, it would be very difficult for them to leave.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe had already found them. They also saw the maggots on the ground. They asked Jiang Ming in surprise, “Where did these maggots come from?”
Jiang Ming seemed to have thought of something. He walked toward Li Nanchu, who was on the verge of fainting from fright. He grabbed his collar and slapped him.
Li Nanchu woke up immediately. He could not help but feel a little angry when he saw how Jiang Ming treated him.
Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Ming interrupted him.
“Did you hide a lot of maggots in the ground?”
Li Nanchu did not expect Jiang Ming to know about it, and his face instantly paled.
“How did you know? It was to simply repel monsters. But I remember that these maggots were clearly dead. I don’t know why they came back to life?”
“I’m afraid it has something to do with the ritual you did. What ritual did you do?”
Jiang Ming had thought about it.
If it was related to the ritual, then he could do something to reverse the ritual and kill the maggots.
No matter what, learning about this ritual was a breakthrough.
Yuan Hehe could not stand it anymore.
Li Nanchu understood what Jiang Ming meant. Then, he shook his head. “No, Ning Caichen. You have to know that the ritual you mentioned is not something that ordinary people can perform. Moreover, if you don’t perform it perfectly, it will bring about the destruction of the entire kingdom.”
“You can choose between yourself and your kingdom? Only one party gets to live. Choose wisely.”
Jiang Ming dragged Li Nanchu to the place full of maggots.
The maggots jumped around, wanting to eat Li Nanchu’s feet.
Li Nanchu was dumbstruck. His heart could not help but tremble as he shouted.
“I want to live!”
Jiang Ming was very satisfied with Li Nanchu’s answer. Then, he continued, “Then tell me about the array.”
Li Nanchu took out the array diagram from his pocket.
“This is the array diagram. I brought it with me.”
Jiang Ming instructed Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe to spread out the array diagram.
The magic array diagram suddenly shone with light. The light rose into the air and depicted the structure of the array.
Jiang Ming took a look at it and simply cut it from the middle, tearing the array diagram into pieces.
“What are you doing?”
Li Nanchu was shocked once again. He was dumbfounded. Then, he said, “This is the array diagram that you need! If you destroy it, it’ll be useless. You won’t be able to crack the array!”
“How can I be sure you’re not lying?” Jiang Ming asked confidently.
The maggots had indeed died the moment the formation was destroyed, and they all collapsed to the ground.
Then, the situation became more and more intense.
After removing the maggots, those who were bitten by the maggots began to crawl like maggots.
It was as if maggots were controlling them. Their entire bodies became agile, and their eyes even emitted a strange light.
When they saw that the maggots had disappeared, they hurriedly gathered together and attacked Jiang Ming and the others.
Li Nanchu could not help but lose control of his emotions when she saw her servant girl and eunuch in such a state.
“Great, the Xiaguo Kingdom is finally going to be destroyed!”
Jiang Ming predicted that countless people would be bitten.
If they wanted to kill these people, it would consume a lot of physical strength, which was not worth it.
However, if they did not kill them, these people would stop them from leaving the Xiaguo Kingdom. The best way now was to return to the original house.
He looked at Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe and expressed his opinion.
While Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were dealing with the maggots attacking them, they agreed to Jiang Ming’s suggestion.
Before he left, Jiang Ming brought Li Nanchu along.
He felt that Li Nanchu might have a way to get rid of these maggots.
At this time, there were no maggots near the house. Jiang Ming and the others were relieved.
He opened the door with his men and entered the house. Then, he strengthened the door with some spiritual energy.
He did not know if the maggots would smell them and come to the house they were in.
If this door was not sturdy, it would not be worth it.
Just as he had expected, before they could stay there for long, low and hoarse roars came from outside the door.
The roar was clearly from a human, but it was very strange. There were only maggots outside.
“These maggots are really terrifying.”
Yuan Hehe was frustrated and helpless.
Following that, the sound of knocking came from the door.
Sikong Wuyuan wanted to talk about the maggot-infected people, but when he saw them coming, he could not help but feel nervous.
“Should we go out and kill those maggots? I don’t know how long this will last.”
“It’s okay. They shouldn’t be able to enter.”
Jiang Ming felt that he had used enough spiritual energy, so he sat down unhurriedly.
At this moment, Li Nanchu had already returned to normal. When he heard Jiang Ming’s words, he could not help but reprimand him loudly.
“Ning Caichen, you will die if you continue to sit and wait like this. You can disregard your own life, but can you disregard the lives of all of us? You’re really cruel and merciless! If you still have a conscience, go out and kill these maggots immediately. Don’t let them harm us!”
“Do you think that I won’t sacrifice you to the maggots?”
