Chapter 95: The decisive battle (1)

Gao Ning took the bone needles and carefully put them back into the box one by one. Ling Ruxue looked at all this and suddenly said, “The medicine inside is gone. This set of bone needles is already useless in a way. Why do you keep it?”

For the first time, Gao Ning spoke without his characteristic cunning. He said calmly, “Grandma’s relics, even a broken thread, are precious.”

Ling Ruxue suddenly fell silent, and looked at Gao Ning with a slightly less resistant expression in her eyes.

I was calmly buttoning my shirt at the moment, and when I heard Gao Ning’s words, my hand stopped for a moment, and I suddenly thought of my master. Then I continued to button my shirt, and suddenly said, “Gao Ning, I thought you only had goals and no feelings. However, you are finished. If such a person has feelings for anyone, they will be deeper than anyone else.”

Gao Ning laughed and said, “I’ve been finished for a long time. Except for my grandmother, I have such deep feelings for many people. So… I’ve been finished for a long time.”

I turned around and asked, “Who are these many people?”

“You don’t need to know.” Gao Ning still kept his head down, playing with his bone needles, as if he were treating a cherished lover.

I didn’t ask anything. At this point, I had already buttoned up my jacket, put on my backpack, and was ready to go.

At this moment, Huigen woke up. He yawned and rubbed his round head against my waist, asking, “Brother, what are we going to do next?”

I smiled and touched his round head, saying, “There’s nothing to do. Just follow me and remember to stand close to me.”

“Mmm,” Hui Gen’er nodded obediently.

This little guy, when I first met him, he was only as tall as my leg, but now he’s grown to be taller than my waist. You’ll continue to grow.Taoist priest

Once again, stepping into the worm room, she was surprised by the withered corpse under the worm man, the female worm, and the old monster lying under the female worm.

She muttered, “Has this demon insect evolved to such a point? It even has something like arms.”

I comforted her, saying, “It won’t last long.”

Before I could finish my sentence, Hui Gen said, “This bug makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s not a good thing.”

I smiled and said, “Brother knows.”

At this time, we were standing at the edge of the insect room. Gao Ning said that as long as we were within 5 meters of it, all attacks would begin. I said to Gao Ning, “The magic of lightning requires a lot of preparation time. Before that, you help me block it. If Ruixue and Huigen have the slightest problem, I won’t cooperate with you. You know.”

Gao Ning smiled bitterly: “I’m afraid I can’t block them alone. You don’t know how fast they move. This little master, help me.”

Huigen patted his chest and said, “Brother, don’t worry.”

There was no other way. We weren’t a well-equipped army, so this was the best we could do.

After some simple discussion, we observed that in front of the platform where the mother insect was lying, there was a large open space. The side of the space was against a stone wall. I said, “Let’s go there. We’ll be within five meters of the stone wall, and we’ll be protected from the rear by the stone wall.”

Gao Ning and Hui Gen nodded, while Ru Xue once again removed the hairpin from her head, and the long black braid fell down again. She showed by her actions that she was definitely not idle at such a time.

I took a deep breath and said, “Let’s get started!”

Everyone was nervous, including me. Gao Ning stubbornly thought that I would attract lightning, but he had no idea that attracting lightning was a great skill. It was not that simple. You had to know that Yuan Yi had deep skills, and he could only burn his soul power and use his primordial power to attract lightning.

I had once successfully attracted lightning with the help of my master’s thunder and fire formation. This time, I had no choice but to gamble.

Hopefully, I will be luckier than Yuan Yi.

I was bitter, but I couldn’t tell anyone about it.

I was the first to move, and distance is a very magical thing, especially in a specific environment. I walked step by step toward my goal, but I felt like I was stepping on my own heart with every step.

Finally, I entered the five-meter range. I kept staring at the bug people’s eyes and saw a terrible scene. I saw the bug people wrapped in silkworm cocoons suddenly open their eyes.

Their eyes were strange and terrifying. Have you ever seen the eyes of a dead person? Dry, without eyeballs, just flat in the eye socket, without any emotion. Just being stared at by such eyes, the whole person will unconsciously get goosebumps.

Yes, I am feeling the same way now as I am being stared at by the living dead.

As if it was not enough that it was disgusted by my psychological burden, and that its brain did not feel sufficiently horrifying, one of the bug people actually opened its mouth wide, revealing its teeth, which were particularly hideous because of the atrophy of the gums, and howled at me.

The sound of that howl, once you hear it, you will never forget it for the rest of your life, because it doesn’t sound like vocal cords at all, but rather like the muscles in the throat rubbing against each other.

Moreover, the muscles and bones of those worm people seemed to have left the realm of human biology and entered an incredible realm, because the arc of their mouths was simply not something that humans could do, almost reaching the ear roots.

The bug people are really sensitive. They have just stepped into the five-meter range, and one of them has already begun to struggle violently, almost breaking out of its cocoon.

“Hurry, run!” I shouted. If we didn’t get to the stone wall in time, we would be surrounded by a group of bug people in the center, and the consequences would be self-evident.

The small insect room is less than 2 meters away from the stone wall, so the pressure is not too great. I started to run, and the stone wall was right in front of me. But at that moment, a shadow fell on me.

I only had time to look up and saw a face that was particularly terrifying. It was a bug!

I couldn’t believe it. How could they move so fast? I was only two meters away from the stone wall, but they were at least four meters away. How could that be?

My mind was in a whirl, and I could hardly react to the sudden attack of the bug man. All I could think was, “How could this be?”

But at that moment, a black shadow struck the bug man hard. The bug man let out a miserable scream and fell to the side due to his unstable center of gravity. It was Ru Xue’s braids that pulled the bug man away.

“Be careful, go and cast a spell.” Ru Xue pushed me hard, pushing me into the stone wall.

I stopped when I hit the stone wall. At this time, I turned around and saw that the surrounding bugs had all awakened, and I finally discovered how the bug people had jumped in front of me. Their way of moving was not at all like that of humans, but more like that of beasts. They were on all fours and then jumped violently.

It was probably because their bodies were shriveled and extremely light, or for some other reason, that these bug people had amazing jumping power. The bug that just jumped at me was the closest one, because I saw a broken cocoon not far from the stone wall, and then it jumped to my face in one leap.

Before I could even catch my breath, another bugman jumped at me. Gao Ning and the other two were all too busy to help me, and I couldn’t rely on them either. I punched the bugman hard, and it screamed and fell to the side.

I kicked it hard again, and it was kicked very far away. Damn, don’t think I’m a soft persimmon, I can do kung fu.

I spat at the bug man fiercely, and I felt strange in my heart. The bug man was very resilient when I kicked it, and it was light and fluffy. I don’t know how to describe this feeling, but I can only say a character that everyone understands.

That is to say, if the bug man were cuter, with a straw hat, I would think of him as a rubber man, Luffy.

This purple bug seems to have a special ability to transform human bodies. I suddenly remembered the smooth face of the witch doctor Boqie, and I felt a chill in my heart.

Then I clung to the stone wall and shouted to the other three, “Closer to me, I’m going to start casting spells! Hurry!”

The decisive battle finally began. I thought it wouldn’t be difficult, and everything would go according to Gao Ning’s plan. But everything was more difficult than we imagined…
