Chapter 1255: Chapter 1257: Siege of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects_1

"Furball says the Poisonous Insect Master has appeared, telling us we need to hurry over," Bai Ruozhu said as she pulled Jiang Yichun’s hand, running frantically. "Furball can only deal with the bugs, to catch that Poisonous Insect Master we’ll have to rely on ourselves."

Jiang Yichun tightened his grip on Bai Ruozhu’s hand, "Be careful later, if it gets dangerous, hide behind me and don’t take any risks."

"Okay," Bai Ruozhu turned to glance at his profile, suddenly feeling a bit more relaxed. The previous nervousness and urgency dissipated; just seeing him made her feel reassured, as though she wasn’t afraid of anything anymore.

The two quickly arrived at the location Furball had mentioned but couldn’t find any sign of the Poisonous Insect Master. Furball perched on Bai Ruozhu’s shoulder and shook its little head, seemingly very confused.

Its intelligence was limited after all, how could it match wits with a cunning human?

"Probably that Poisonous Insect Master deliberately lured us here, it seems he already knows we’ve discovered him," Bai Ruozhu whispered, then took out Drug Powder from her sleeve and sprinkled it over herself and Jiang Yichun, and laid another circle of Drug Powder around their feet.

Just as she finished doing this, a sudden buzz of countless sounds was heard. On closer inspection, hordes of bugs were swarming towards them from all around.

There were crawlers on the ground and flyers in the air, it was clear the opponent was prepared, determined to trap them here!

"Be careful!" exclaimed Jiang Yichun as he drew his sword and swung it; every strike infused with inner strength, causing falling bugs to split in half wherever they went. Especially the ones flying in the air, a significant number were slain by Jiang Yichun in an instant.

Before they could rejoice, a relentless buzzing sound approached again, a massive swarm of bugs surged up densely, giving Bai Ruozhu goosebumps all over her body. How were so many bugs hidden in the City without being discovered? And was the opponent using all their bugs, aiming for a fight to the death with them?

The alley was dark and narrow, not convenient for spreading out, but this had no effect on the diminutive insects, so the Poisonous Insect Master luring them here was also part of a well-thought-out plan.

Furball was infuriated, emitting thin, high-pitched cries, and pounced on bug after bug. Bai Ruozhu was startled, afraid that it would get hurt, but on closer observation, she saw that the bugs couldn’t harm Furball. However, although it could kill a bug with each rapid strike, it wasn’t as fast as Jiang Yichun in killing them.

"There are too many bugs, we need to find a way to leave this place," Jiang Yichun said in a low voice, knowing that if this continued, his inner strength would eventually be exhausted, and they would both be in danger.

He gathered his inner strength in one forward thrust, clearing a path, but after they took a step forward, the path was blocked again. Because they had stepped out of the protection of the Drug Powder, they had inadvertently allowed the bugs to attack them even more fiercely.

"I’ll do it!" Bai Ruozhu called out, throwing a handful of Drug Powder ahead. She used some inner strength to line the Drug Powder straight, hoping to carve out a path.

Unexpectedly, some beetle-like worms appeared beneath the Drug Powder; they had Drug Powder on their backs, screamed in pain, and the buzzing noise intensified for a while. But the bugs didn’t die immediately; instead, they quickly scattered to the sides and soon burrowed into the Earth.

Bai Ruozhu was shocked, she had encountered an expert in raising Poisonous Insects unlike any she had met before!

To have a specific type of bug move the Drug Powder away to facilitate the continued attack of other bugs showed a clear Division of labor.

"Sprinkle more!" commanded Jiang Yichun.

Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth and sprinkled Drug Powder again, this time not only creating a path in front but also scatteringly released a handful. Some flying bugs fell to the ground, but as there were too many of them, the few that dropped hardly made a difference.

And again, beetle-like Poisonous Insects appeared and cleared the Drug Powder on the path; this time, Bai Ruozhu saw it even more clearly. They rolled around where the Drug Powder was spread, their bodies immediately covered in the powder, and then they scattered, burrowing into the earth.

"No use, sprinkling more is just a waste of Drug Powder. There isn’t much left." She had brought plenty of medicinal materials in her Space, but the Drug Powder used to drive away the Poisonous Insects was in limited supply, especially since she had distributed some to the surrounding guards over the past few days.

As she watched the number of surrounding Poisonous Insects grow and saw that these Insects didn’t fear death, even some growing increasingly aggressive and repeatedly charging at them, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but frown.

Jiang Yichun’s inner strength was slowly draining away. He also wanted to conserve his energy, but if he didn’t use it, the Insects would swarm. He didn’t dare take the risk, fearing that Ruozhu might get hurt.

Bai Ruozhu looked around once more but still couldn’t see the shadow of the Poisonous Insect expert; she clenched her teeth, knowing there was only one option left.

"If you can release so many Poisonous Insects and even sacrifice your beloved treasures in great numbers, you wouldn’t be so scared to show yourself, would you?" Bai Ruozhu suddenly shouted loudly.

The other party was determined and wouldn’t appear no matter what she said.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly sneered, "You think these little bugs can bother me? If you dared to target me, surely you would have investigated my situation thoroughly, right?"

Having said that, she suddenly took out a Talisman, pretended to recite a complex and difficult spell, then grabbed Jiang Yichun’s arm with one hand while clutching the Talisman with the other, "Let’s go!"

In an instant, the two of them disappeared from the spot; even the Furball zipped alongside and vanished.

With the target gone, the Poisonous Insects buzzed around aimlessly like headless flies, without someone’s command they didn’t know where to go, some even burrowed into the ground as if Bai Ruozhu and the others had hidden themselves underground. But no matter how hard the Insects tried, they couldn’t find any trace of Bai Ruozhu.

In a dark passage far away, a black figure cursed softly, "Damn it, they escaped just like that? What kind of Evil Technique is this?"

At that moment, Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were inside the Space. She immediately switched on the external image to look outside, thinking that the Poisonous Insect expert would surely appear to search for their traces, but unfortunately, the person did not show up. They could only faintly hear a voice, seemingly that of a man.

Jiang Yichun looked at the "big screen," and his jaw nearly dropped, such an expression seldom seen on his face.

"What is this place?" Jiang Yichun felt his mouth go dry; he suddenly remembered being brought to some place by Bai Ruozhu for healing after being injured, and he quickly looked at her and asked, "The time I was being chased and attacked, did you bring me here?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "This place can offer temporary concealment, but I must not let others know about it."

She thought for a moment, realizing that explaining the Space might be a bit confusing, and Jiang Yichun might not understand, so she simply said, "This is a place given to me by a fairy; it’s where I can hide when I’m in trouble."

She inexplicably had this Space; perhaps it really was arranged by the immortals above.

Jiang Yichun looked around at everything, feeling somewhat incredulous, "The Immortal didn’t allow you to tell others, did it? Won’t there be consequences for you?"
