Chapter 673 652: The Cuo Damu Witch Doctor Intervenes
A tender voice suddenly broke the silence.
Everyone was taken aback, then turned in unison to look to the side, where Doudou was running over with a small jar in her arms, her face somewhat strained.
The surrounding men sneered, "Doudou, what are you doing here?"
"Yeah, Doudou, Mr. Wu and Mr. Miao are vying for the village chief position; go play somewhere else."
Doudou huffed and puffed, saying, "I'm not causing trouble. My grandpa sent me here, saying I would fight in this second round."
As soon as she said this, everyone around was shocked. Mr. Miao and the people behind him were equally stunned.
"Is Cuo Damu Witch Doctor intervening?"
"No way, hasn't he always remained neutral?"
"There's a rumor that Cuo Damu went to Thunder Mountain, his Gu Raising Skill is masterful, and he's reached the level of a Gu Master."
"Then Mr. Miao is in danger this time."
Mr. Miao's face kept changing. He stared coldly at Doudou, who was only half a person's height, and said, "Isn't Cuo Damu Witch Doctor's action violating his principles?"
A witch doctor is not supposed to meddle in village disputes. Cuo Damu had always remained neutral before, so why intervene now?
With this, Mr. Miao's previously assured position suddenly became uncertain.
"Grandpa said that Taijiang Village needs an honest and upright village chief." Doudou repeated everything Cuo Damu had told her.
The Miao Race men around looked at Doudou holding a small clay jar, seemingly still digesting the news.
Mr. Miao's face immediately changed, looking pale and a bit uncertain in his eyes.
Did Cuo Damu Witch Doctor discover something?
It shouldn't be possible; everything was done so secretly, and Cuo Damu Witch Doctor never left his room, so how could he know?
Miao Wei and the men behind Mr. Miao looked equally displeased. The village chief's position was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, Cuo Damu intervened out of nowhere.
"Alright, I'll compete with you in the second round; I'm exhausted." Doudou panted, and everyone around was fixated on her, curious about what kind of mystical insect was in that clay jar.
Mr. Miao sneered coldly, "Since Cuo Damu Witch Doctor stands with Mr. Wu, I have nothing to say. But in a mystical insect battle, I may not necessarily lose!"
The insect fluttering its wings in midair had a heart and soul bond with Mr. Miao and seemed to feel his anger as well.
Doudou opened the lid of the jar, and to his surprise, Ren Feng, staring at the jar, felt a chilling aura emanating from it.
It was as if the air around him turned cold and eerie, making him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Ren Feng stared at the jar, with a storm of shock rising within him. How could this single insect elicit an instinctive sense of danger in him?
Mr. Wu also watched the jar; when he saw the half-a-finger-sized silkworm crawl out, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Buggy, go!"
Doudou cheered and commanded, and the large insect in midair felt tremendous danger, prompting it to attack proactively.
But suddenly, the silkworm catapulted into the air, its long body expanding, its inner skin layer unfurling, revealing countless tendrils stretching to the size of a palm, enveloping the large insect!
"My goodness!"
The surrounding Miao youth exclaimed in shock. How could there be such a mystical insect?
"So it was true." Mr. Wu took a deep breath. "There's a rumor that when Cuo Damu Witch Doctor visited Thunder Mountain, he brought back a mystical insect, probably this one."
"Good!"
Doudou clapped excitedly, while Mr. Miao and the men behind Miao Wei looked grim.
Especially Mr. Miao, whose face was ashen. The large insect he cultivated painstakingly was no match for the opponent!
Ren Feng and Liang Keqing stood in the crowd, observing the two battling mystical insects with great curiosity.
"I have never seen such a mystical insect." Liang Keqing said.
"I feel this kind of mystical insect is beyond the realm of normal insects." Ren Feng regarded the creature with unease.
He believed there were more mystical insects in Miaojiang, but he had no desire to understand them. His focus was on obtaining the Yin Spirit Essence Fruit.
The clash between the two mystical insects in midair didn't last long. The silkworm soon reverted to its original form on the ground, while the large insect lay motionless, clearly dead.
The silkworm crawled back into the clay jar, and Doudou carefully put the lid back on.
"Mr. Miao, you've lost," Mr. Wu stated calmly.
"Yes, there's still one round left; whatever mystical insects you have, bring them out already, you can't win anyway."
The youth behind Mr. Wu mocked, making Mr. Miao's expression even darker.
He took a deep breath. "Two out of three wins; indeed there's one round left, but Cuo Damu Witch Doctor's involvement seems unfair to me."
"Unfair? Weren't you the one who agreed to this before? Do you want to renege?" Wu Meng frowned and questioned.
Mr. Wu's faction wouldn't relent.
"I am not reneging." Mr. Miao said coldly, "What I mean is, let's have the second round tomorrow. I need time to prepare and respond to Cuo Damu Witch Doctor's mystical insect."
"From what I see, it makes no difference whether you're prepared or not," Wu Meng added.
"It's not your place to speak here." Mr. Miao snorted.
"You!"
"Wu Meng." Mr. Wu reached out to stop Wu Meng, then looked at Mr. Miao and said, "Fine, let's compete tomorrow, still here in the morning."
"Fine."
Mr. Miao's face looked grim. After saying this, he turned and walked away.
The faction behind him followed, and Ren Feng and Liang Keqing walked up as well.
"Doudou, why did Cuo Damu Witch Doctor step in?" Wu Meng squatted down, patting Doudou's head.
"I don't know. After Grandpa examined Wu Tian's injury and the mystical insect on Brother Wu Tian, he said that and sent me over."
"Cuo Damu Witch Doctor must know something," Liang Keqing spoke up. "But since he chose to help you, there's surely a reason."
"Alright, we have nothing to do, let's check on Wu Tian."
Meanwhile, after Mr. Miao returned home, he slammed the table hard, breaking it in his anger.
"Damn Cuo Damu, why intervene at this time?"
