Chapter 99: Secretive

Finally, the last bolt of lightning was directed by me and fell, turning into countless sparks of electricity that bloomed and then disappeared.

The sounds of fighting, shouting, and screaming were all gone. Even the mother insect stopped chirping, and all that was left was the quiet footsteps of Gao Ning and his excited breathing.

My strength seemed to have been sucked out, and I just looked at Ruoxue weakly, then involuntarily knelt heavily on the ground. Ruoxue’s face was pale, but she just bit her lower lip, trembling, trying hard to endure. It seemed that the pain just now had not disappeared with the silence of the mother insect…

What would happen next, I had no idea. I didn’t even have the strength to think, so I just lay on the ground, looking at Gao Ning. In fact, I didn’t know what to do when I looked at him. Even if he wanted to do something now, I would be powerless to stop him.

Gao Ning didn’t even look at us, but just walked towards the female insect with a strange expression. At this time, I could still see his profile, and from his profile, I saw desire.

The female insect seemed to be on guard against Gao Ning. As he walked in step by step, its wings spread to a strange angle, and two insect claws resembling human arms extended. I suspected that I was hallucinating. I clearly saw that its insect claws had three branches, looking like three fingers.

Gao Ning continued to walk in as if he hadn’t seen the mother’s resistance. The mother’s abdomen began to contract violently. I didn’t know what the mother was going to do, but I saw a particularly terrifying scene. The old monster connected to the mother suddenly opened its eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, it was not easy to see from the angle where I was lying, but his eyes were like an attraction, and I happened to see them. I was not at all otherwise. In that moment, my heart suddenly tightened, and then I couldn’t control my breathing. I began to gasp uncontrollably. I was very nervous and scared.

Because the brilliance of those eyes was not the brilliance of a normal person. Who has ever seen the eyes of a normal person glittering with purple light?

What is our fate? I was even more at a loss! I was just cursing Gao Ning, he was crazy, absolutely crazy, and yet he could open Pandora’s box with a grin on his face!

When the old monster opened his eyes, his expression first revealed a hint of confusion, and then, with a smooth but skinny hand, he grabbed the straw connected to the worm in the first instance, and then said to Gao Ning in an irresistible voice, “Stop, and then kill yourself.”

Then, his head turned at a strange angle, and he looked at me, Ling Ruxue, and Huigen, and then said, “No matter who you are, you should also kill yourself.”

I lay on the ground and snorted twice in a cold laugh, then pulled out the golden needle in my neck with all my might, took a deep breath, and yelled at the old monster, “Bullshit!”

I am a Taoist, when will I bow to demons and monsters? How dare you ask me to end it myself?

“That’s right, you can go to hell.” Hui Gen responded. Similarly, as a Buddhist, how could I bow to demons and monsters?

Faced with the arrogance of Hui Gen and me, the old monster snorted and reached for the straw to pull it out. At the same time, the female worm let out a painful cry.

This bug is really strange. Every move it makes, you can feel its emotions. Even its chirping is like this. This time, in addition to the painful chirping, there was also a kind of helpless anger.

The old monster looked like it was going to get us, but no matter what, I was going to be with Huigen and Ruxue.

At this moment, except for Hui Gen, who was slightly stronger and could barely stand, both Ru Xue and I were in a terrible state. I bit my teeth and crawled towards Hui Gen and Ru Xue at a snail’s pace. No matter what happened, I had to stand in front of them. I used one hand to support myself as I crawled, and the other hand had already quietly reached into my bag, where there was a pill…

At that moment, I suddenly heard a loud, arrogant laugh. It was Gao Ning’s voice. Then I heard him shout, “You won’t have a chance to pull out that tube…”

I turned around and saw that Gao Ning had already walked up to the mother insect, which was now backing up in a strange way, as if it were a mammal, and preparing to pounce.

How could a bug have such a movement?

But I had a strange feeling that the female was just bluffing. It seemed to have a great burden, and I didn’t think it could resist.

Is this bug hiding something?

But now is not the time to think about this. I felt a hand grab my wrist. I looked up and saw Ruoxue. I didn’t know when she had arrived at my side, half crawling and half moving, supported by Huigen.

I smiled wryly. The three of us had come this far, and we were all in such a sorry state. With the help of Hui Gen’er, Ru Xue managed to help me up. I leaned half on Ru Xue’s knee, and Hui Gen’er leaned on Ru Xue’s side. For a moment, the three of us felt as if we were all relying on each other for survival.

But at this moment, the three of us seemed to have become insignificant supporting roles, with Gao Ning and the old monster as the main characters.

Facing Gao Ning’s threatening language, the old monster snorted in disdain, then began to chant strange incantations, and began to pull the straw with all his strength. His expression was very angry, and that anger was very deep, like a deep-seated hatred.

I think it wasn’t just because of Gao Ning’s provocation, maybe there were other reasons, but I couldn’t guess what they were.

As the old monster recited the spell, the female insect began to struggle and whine, and even its wings began to flap incessantly. In particular, the straw-like thing kept shrinking, as if it were trying to cooperate with the old monster to draw out the straw.

The little insect chamber, with such a big insect struggling, was very noisy, with the sound of ‘thump, thump’ constantly in my ears. I suddenly became worried. Did the people of the Black Rock Village really think that once we entered the insect chamber, everything would be fine, and then they would turn a blind eye to everything in the insect chamber?

I was thinking about all this nonsense while I was trying to recover as quickly as possible. At that moment, when everything was in chaos, I had already quietly slipped a pill into my mouth and one into Huigen’s.

It was a precious pill for calming the mind. I had taken it for the first time when my master had suddenly put it in my mouth. I had thought about it for a long time. It was the first time I had met the snake spirit…

The situation is now a hundred times more dangerous than when I met the snake spirit, but the person who put the pill in my mouth is no longer around.

We are in the middle of a battle between two sides, and we are seizing the time to recover. Over there, Gao Ning has completely lost his mind. He even reached out and touched one of the female worm’s claws with a somewhat “affectionate” hand, and then comforted it softly, saying, “Little darling, don’t make a fuss. You will soon be relieved!”

Then he also looked at the old monster with the same anger, and shouted angrily, “You actually used secret techniques to notify others, but you don’t have a chance!”

What do you mean by “no chance”? Although all this was unfolding before my eyes, I had no idea what the truth behind it all was. In particular, Gao Ning was so affectionate towards the female worm, but I could see that the worm didn’t appreciate Gao Ning’s feelings at all. Instead, it had a special kind of restlessness and agitation, and also a kind of disdainful contempt.

Damn it, in front of me, he staged a deep love between man and insect, unable to be loved, and the insect rejected the human’s affectionate drama? I suddenly got goosebumps.

But Gao Ning could not possibly know what I was thinking. He was acting like a madman, taking out one small porcelain jar after another, and then opening them very quickly, splashing the contents all over the insect.

The jars were filled with bright red liquid. When the first jar was opened, the entire insect room was filled with a strong, pungent smell of blood, which made me want to vomit. But Gao Ning didn’t care at all. He just sprayed the blood-red liquid onto the insect one jar at a time.

When the liquid reached the bugs, it strangely soaked into their bodies, and the purple color on their bodies became brighter!

Gao Ning’s actions seemed to have irritated the old monster. His eyes revealed a mixture of fear and anger, but he did not show weakness. He just shouted, “You are dead. You will definitely pay the price. I will sacrifice you alive, using the most cruel method to sacrifice you to the most terrifying devil!”

Gao Ning kept moving his hands, and in the face of the old monster’s crazy yelling, he just cursed: “Your mother!”
