The Fire Phoenix had never imagined that he would one day be trapped by mortals.
There were only a dozen of them and they appeared just as he was about to dispose of the corpses. He killed one of them and that person was immediately bitten by the worms. He remembered Yao Yao's letter two days ago saying that the people who wanted to kill Ming Yu were controlled by the blood worms.
He didn't dare to kill these assassins as he was afraid that his spiritual energy wasn't enough to suppress the blood worms. If the blood worms found another host, then it would be troublesome.
Fire Phoenix could only ignore the corpses for now and lead the assassins deep into the mountains. There were no mortals here so even if he killed these assassins, the blood worms wouldn't be able to find a host.
In the end, he found out that the blood worms could enter the bodies of other animals so he didn't dare to kill them anymore.
Damn it! How could there be such things in the human world? Who was controlling these people from behind?
The Fire Phoenix was surrounded by them. The assassins clearly wanted to capture the Fire Phoenix alive, so they were just wasting time with him and did not kill him.
"What's the point of doing this? You can't catch me and I don't want to kill you. Why don't we leave?" Fire Phoenix tried to negotiate with the black-clothed men but they ignored him.
"Can't you hear what I said? If you don't like this suggestion, then we can discuss it again. " Fire Phoenix smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me what you want? Maybe I'll agree?"
“”
Fire Phoenix's saliva was almost dry but these people just stood there motionlessly as if they couldn't hear what Fire Phoenix said.
They were simply wooden people!
When would Ming Xi find out that something was wrong? He hadn't returned for half a day and Ming Xi and Shang'er should be out looking for him. He just didn't know if they could find him.
"Who on earth turned you into this?" Fire Phoenix frowned at these black-clothed men. They didn't have any beast aura on them so they weren't possessed. Could it be that the blood worms were controlling them?
Could it be a blood demon?
Fire Phoenix's eyes flashed with surprise. He had never seen a blood demon before but had only heard of it. Blood demons hadn't appeared for many years so why would they appear in the human world?
That's right, it must be a blood demon. Only a blood demon could control these blood worms.
"What's the point of surrounding me like this? Why don't you just tell me what you want?" Fire Phoenix shouted.
"As long as you hand over Princess Bright Jade, we will naturally let you go." Suddenly, a low and deep voice came from nowhere, echoing in all directions.
Fire Phoenix suddenly became vigilant. Just as he had guessed, there was someone watching him from behind.
"It's boring to hide and talk. Why don't you show yourself?" The Fire Phoenix shouted into the sky. He wanted to find out where the other party was, but he couldn't sense any of his aura.
Could it be that these black-clothed men were all controlled by that person?
Is that the Blood Demon?
"You already have the Blood Worm in your body. If you don't want to die, bring Princess Ming Yu here," the man continued.
Fire Phoenix raised her eyebrows. There were bloodworms in his body? It seemed that this person did not know that he was a Fire Phoenix. If he could not tell that he was a Fire Phoenix, then he should be a mortal.
A mortal was able to control these men in black who were infected by the blood worms.
"What do you want Bright Jade for?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. We can make a deal. As long as you find a way to hand Princess Bright Jade over to us, you won't have to become a puppet," the man said.
Fire Phoenix nodded with a smile. "Alright, then you can have these people leave first."
Once he got rid of these unkillable Crimson Wormmen, he would find the person hiding behind him.
The man did not speak, as if he was considering Fire Phoenix's words.
Fire Phoenix didn't say anything else. Saying too much would only make the other party suspicious.
At this time, Shang'er's voice came from afar.
"Huo 'er, Huo' er!"
Shang'er's spiritual energy was not restricted, and she was a dragon, so she was more sensitive to spiritual beasts. When she arrived at the place where the Fire Phoenix disappeared, she could vaguely sense his aura. She released more spiritual energy and followed the Fire Phoenix's aura to find him.
Along the way, she also felt another unfamiliar aura.
It was neither the aura of a Fire Phoenix nor a demonic beast.
She called out the name of the Fire Phoenix, feeling that she was getting closer and closer to the Fire Phoenix.
"Shang'er, I'm here!" The Fire Phoenix was elated. Shang'er's cultivation level was not restricted, so she could definitely control the blood worms in these people.
Hearing the Fire Phoenix's voice, Shang'er quickly found him. She stood on a branch and frowned at the surrounded Fire Phoenix. "Can't you even defeat a few mortals?"
"It's not that I can't defeat them, but they have blood worms in their bodies. If I kill them, the blood worms will break out of their bodies and find another host. By then, more people will die." The Fire Phoenix waved his hand helplessly. "They are depleting my spiritual energy. I'm worried that I can't control so many blood worms."
"Blood Demon?" Shang'er frowned.
The Fire Phoenix said, "Yes, the Blood Demon should be nearby. Go and find him, I can still handle this."
Shang'er nodded and disappeared from the branch. She searched the entire forest but could not find anyone else. That strange aura just now should be the Blood Demon's.
She returned to the Fire Phoenix's side and shook her head. "I can't find the person you mentioned."
"Those people left on their own," the Fire Phoenix said. "They want to capture Ming Yu."
Shang'er asked, "Why do they want to capture Ming Yu?"
"How would I know? That person said that I have blood worms in my body and will only give me the antidote if I hand Ming Yu over." The moment she finished speaking, she could not help but laugh. "He definitely doesn't know that I'm the Fire Phoenix. The blood worms can't enter my body at all."
"Let's hurry back and find Ming Yu." Shang'er was worried about Ming Xi and Ming Yu. Even the Fire Phoenix was trapped. If it was Ming Xi, he would not be so easy to deal with.
Fire Phoenix was startled. Could this be a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
He and Shang'er returned to the inn as fast as they could. They did not see Ming Xi and Ming Yu in the room.
"Oh no, could the siblings have been captured?" the Fire Phoenix shouted at Shang'er.
"Let's look for them first." Shang'er was worried about Ming Xi, but she felt that he would not be captured so easily.
The Fire Phoenix nodded. Just as the two of them were about to leave the inn to find Ming Xi, they saw the siblings walking side by side.
"You're back?" Ming Xi walked over holding Ming Yu's hand. He looked at the Fire Phoenix. "Where did you go?"
"Are you alright?" Shang'er asked.
The Fire Phoenix said, "We were just about to find you. We thought something happened to you."
Ming Yu smiled. "What can happen to us?"
"Let's go back to the inn first." Ming Xi said lightly.
