Chapter 520: Chapter 567 Everywhere is Perilous

Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Seven

Lan Wan’er’s face showed despair as she could no longer keep up with the Ant Queen’s speed. The Ant Queen’s mandibles were like a pair of sharp giant scissors, cutting towards Lan Wan’er’s neck.

Lan Wan’er could even see her own terrified reflection in the Ant Queen’s blood-red compound eyes.

Crack!

The two mandibles snapped shut fiercely.

There was no spray of blood, and Lan Wan’er found herself still alive and even flying through the air, landing more than ten meters away. A force stabilized her as she touched down smoothly.

...

Standing in front of the Ant Queen was a man—Long Xiaoshan had arrived in time.

Long Xiaoshan threw out a kick, and the sharp force of his leg was like a great knife cutting into the body of the Ant Queen, kicking it more than ten meters away. The Ant Queen tumbled over, but it had not yet managed to rise.

A bolt of thunder and lightning descended from the sky, striking the Ant Queen again and heavily knocking it down, leaving its body charred and trembling.

Immediately after, Long Xiaoshan took out the Flame Blade, and with a single slash, a streak of Flame Saber Aura cut the Ant Queen in two.

Three successive attacks directly killed the Ant Queen.

Long Xiaoshan sheathed the Flame Blade and quickly landed by Lan Wan’er’s side, asking urgently, “Wan’er, are you alright?”

Lan Wan’er shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Her complexion was particularly ghastly, pale without a trace of color, and tinged with a hint of blue.

Long Xiaoshan quickly walked behind Lan Wan’er and saw several blood holes on her back, corroded by the ant acid, causing his expression to change as he said, “You’re seriously injured, I need to heal you, but this is not the place.”

In haste, Long Xiaoshan picked up Lan Wan’er and ran away quickly. Not long after they left, a large wave of blood-red tide surged in, reaching the nearby Ant Queen, where the blood-colored army ants shrieked incessantly.

The two ran far, ensuring that the army ants were not in pursuit before Long Xiaoshan set down Lan Wan’er, who by then had nearly lost consciousness.

Long Xiaoshan hurriedly removed her upper garment, turned her body over, sealed her blood vessels with Golden Needle, cut away her corroded flesh, then took out two medicine pills—one he crushed and applied to the wound, the other he fed to her.

After a while, Lan Wan’er’s complexion gradually regained color.

She also regained consciousness.

She moved her body, but Long Xiaoshan pressed her down, saying, “Your injury has not healed completely. Don’t move around for the next few days. I’ll carry you until you’re better.”

“Master, will my injury leave many scars?” Lan Wan’er asked with a mournful face.

Long Xiaoshan was speechless.

Women will be women. Even at a time like this, she was more concerned about scars than healing.

“It’s fine, my medicine has scar-removing properties, it will restore you to your original state,” Long Xiaoshan reassured.

“Don’t lie to me. If I end up with scars, you are not allowed to abandon me,” Lan Wan’er looked at Long Xiaoshan with a pitiful gaze.

“How could I?”

Long Xiaoshan chuckled as he shook his head and dressed Lan Wan’er.

Carrying Lan Wan’er on his back, Long Xiaoshan continued to walk through the forest.

Having walked through the forest for a day, Long Xiaoshan and Lan Wan’er encountered many ferocious insects. With the Heavenly Eye, they faced little danger; not only did they not encounter any risks, but they also collected many insect eggs for Lan Wan’er.

In the forest, a man and a woman trudged along wearily.

The man was incredibly tall, and the woman was dressed as a Maiden in Miao Frontier, they were none other than Pan Hu and Hua Die from the Bai Witch Sect.

Both of them had numerous injuries.

In the dense forest, they stumbled and moved swiftly, with an urgent rustling noise following behind them.

Several giant White Jade Spiders were chasing them, each more than three meters in length and width, standing taller than an adult, and extremely fierce.

The spiders moved quickly and continuously sprayed spider silk.

Realizing the situation was dire, Pan Hu quickly said, “Saintess, you go first, I’ll hold off these spiders.”

Hua Die replied, “No, if I leave, you’ll surely die.”

As she spoke, Hua Die sprayed out a white light, then bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Under the effect of the blood essence, the white light rapidly shot forward, like a foot-long blade, piercing through the mouth of one White Jade Spider and out its back, then through another spider. The white light continuously weaved through several times, and all the White Jade Spiders pursuing them fell to the ground.

The white light returned to Hua Die and transformed into a white cicada insect.

As soon as the White Gardenia returned to her, her breath weakened severely, and she could barely stand.

Pan Hu quickly supported her and said, “Saintess, how could you resort to using your Life-bound Gu Worm?”

“No more talking, let’s go quickly.”

Hua Die was left with no other choice, having thought that joining forces with the White Dragon King would be enough to venture through Death God Valley. However, they underestimated the dangers, and shortly after entering the valley, they faced several crises and got separated from the main force.

Now, it was only her and Pan Hu left, with their relatively minor strength.

The dangers they faced were too numerous.

They had just startled these White Jade Spiders and had been relentlessly pursued. Now, as their lives hung in the balance, they couldn’t worry about whether to use their Life-bound Gu Worm; their priority was to survive.

Just as the two were about to leave,

suddenly a shrill cackling sound came through, followed by a large amount of blood mist emerging all around them. When the blood mist surged over, they immediately felt weak in their limbs.

Then, five or six Blood-Robed People appeared, surrounding them.

“Xue Ling Sect!”

The two of them changed color, naturally aware of this evil sect from Nanyue.

Seeing the people from the Xue Ling Sect appear, they felt a bad premonition.

“What do you want?” Pan Hu shouted sternly.

“Heh heh, you’re from the White Dragon Temple, and to think we’d run into you here, you’re out of luck. Hand over your belongings, or you’ll suffer,” one of the Blood-Robed People said with a sinister sneer.

The Xue Ling Sect and the White Dragon Temple had always been at odds, not to mention the Xue Ling Sect was notorious for not being good-hearted.

Pan Hu said, “We are not from the White Dragon Temple, we’re from the Bai Witch Sect of the Miao Frontier, leave us alone.”

“Bai Witch Sect, huh? That’s not one of the Southern Seas Powers. To think you would sneak into Death God Valley, we can’t let you go even more.”

“Why waste words? Drain half their blood essence first,” someone suggested.

“It’s a pity this woman isn’t pretty, otherwise, we could have enjoyed ourselves a bit, haha,” several people from the Xue Ling Sect laughed indecently.

Pan Hu flew into a rage, “How dare you disrespect the Saintess, die!”

He spat out a Heavenly Ox Beetle-like Gu insect from his mouth and wildly sprayed a mouthful of blood essence on it. The beetle rapidly increased in size many times over and darted at one of the Xue Ling Sect people who then screamed in agony. The Heavenly Ox Beetle pierced right through the heart, even skewering the heart out.

“Damn!”

The group had no idea that the opponents would fight to the death and directly use their Life-bound Gu Worm to kill, which prompted them to rapidly transform into a cloud of blood mist. Multiple bloody claws lunged towards Pan Hu.

Although Pan Hu had his Life-bound Gu insect to fight, the people from the Xue Ling Sect could attack in the form of a blood mist, rendering the Life-bound Gu Worm unable to find its target. The bloody claws instantly penetrated Pan Hu’s body, his body immediately shriveled up, his skin wrinkled as if he had aged several decades.
