Chapter 1089: Chapter 1061: Sea of Insects

Li Chen held An Xiu, swiftly navigating through the mountain forest.

Fortunately, An Xiu was just somewhat physically weak, likely due to sheer exhaustion, which had led to her sleep.

Li Chen carefully checked, finding no abnormalities within An Xiu’s body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An Xiu was indeed captured by that group led by Miao Zheng, but clearly, they hadn’t had the chance, or perhaps never intended, to do anything to An Xiu.

They figured that doing something to An Xiu would be much more satisfying as revenge if done in front of An Cheng.

Thanks to this mindset, Li Chen was able to rescue An Xiu without a scratch.

However, at this moment, Li Chen was in a rush to return to An Cheng’s village, driven by another equally pressing matter.

From the conversation Miao Zheng had during the meeting, it was apparent they were already preparing to strike against An Cheng and his people.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of kidnapping An Xiu.

Because, this was also a part of their plan.

"There is such a monster!" Li Chen gritted his teeth tightly.

From the faint trembling of his right hand, it was evident that he had sustained some injuries.

"If I don’t hurry back to warn them, once that monster appears, it would be a real disaster!" Li Chen’s figure turned into lightning, rapidly dashing through the forest.

Earlier, while searching, Li Chen’s speed wasn’t fast, but this time, his return was remarkably swift.

The distance covering most of the mountain had previously taken nearly half a day, but now he spanned it in just a little over ten minutes.

Rushing towards An Cheng’s village.

However, just as he arrived near An Cheng’s village, Li Chen caught a strange scent.

Li Chen’s expression changed suddenly.

...

"What do we do?!"

"I... I don’t know either!" An Cheng said with a grim face.

At this moment, everyone in the village had gathered here. The ancestral hall was now the only place in the village not yet covered.

In other parts of the village... everything was swarming with Gu insects.

These Gu insects individually seemed to serve little purpose, some even possessing such weak aggression that an ordinary person could easily crush them underfoot.

However, when their numbers swelled to thousands and tens of thousands, they underwent a massive transformation.

Now, the entire village was surrounded by this sea of insects.

Even Zhang Jing and Fan Bayin were caught within.

"We can’t kill them all! Where on earth did these things come from?!" Fan Bayin’s face was extremely grim.

Even though he was an Earth-level Expert, facing this terrifying sea of insects, his power seemed a bit insignificant.

Because every time he wiped out a batch, another wave would swarm up, seemingly endless.

The few Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts he possessed had also all been released.

But alas, whether it was him or the Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts, neither had any massively destructive tricks, and dealing with this terrifying sea of insects was proving to be exceptionally strenuous.

Most of the people in An Cheng’s village specialized in studying and treating illnesses with Gu art, and the few Gu insects capable of fighting were just as insignificant against the overwhelming terror of this insect sea.

"Damn it!" Fan Bayin suddenly turned his head toward An Cheng: "Think of something you! Aren’t you people from the Miao Village versed in Gu art? How can you not deal with Gu insects?"

"But, the Gu I practice are Healing Gu..." An Cheng, coordinating defenses, answered Fan Bayin with a voice that had grown somewhat hoarse.

"Are you playing with Gu or snakes?" Fan Bayin roared, his monkey-like face contorted.

In his hand, he held a black cord resembling a leather strap, spinning wildly, forming a black whirlwind that constantly shredded the Gu insects attempting to get close.

However, this method also showed signs of waning against the sea of insects ahead.

The Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts were also continuously slashing with their claws, tearing apart the Gu insects one by one.

But with every strike, some of the Gu insects would manage to crawl onto them, gnawing at them, causing the images of the Red-clothed Fierce Ghosts to seem to fade slightly.

"What kind of creatures are these? They can even bite ghosts?" Seeing this scene, Fan Bayin shouted out in astonishment.

Zhang Jing had also awoken, witnessing the horrifying scene. Standing with those villagers from the Miao Village who lacked combat skills, her face too turned pale.

But she didn’t utter a single complaint, understanding that now was a time for fighting, and any words from her would merely disturb those still battling, so she bit her lip and remained silent, fighting off the fear and nausea within her.

"This is real trouble now..." Fan Bayin forced a bitter smile as the Gu insects encroached ever closer: "If this keeps up, I’m going to get worn out by these little things."

Fan Bayin had considered fighting his way out, but hesitated because of what Li Chen had said before he left.

And while he hesitated, the swarm of Gu insects grew more numerous, to the point where even he couldn’t guarantee breaking through safely.

"Am I going to die in this godforsaken place? The Spirit Summoning Art passed down from my father hasn’t even found a successor! If I go now, won’t I get scolded to death by the old man?"

"Didn’t the old man say the Spirit Summoning Art was invincible? Why does it seem worthless now?"

"Plus, I still haven’t broken the Virgin Boy Skill!"

"Damn it, I don’t want to die yet!"

Face downcast, Fan Bayin mumbled to himself while his hands continued furiously slaughtering the endless swarm of Gu insects.

But no matter how fiercely he attacked, the sea of insects before him appeared unchanged in its vastness.

"It’s all that guy’s fault!" Fan Bayin suddenly recalled a certain man, his heart filled with resentment as he howled to the sky.

"Who are you blaming?" A voice suddenly came from beyond the sea of insects.

Hearing this voice, Fan Bayin paused for a moment, then shouted without caring anymore that his badmouthing had been overheard.

"Over here!! We’re over here! Li, if you don’t come save us now, we’re all going to die here!"

"You won’t die!" The cold voice came from outside the village.

Immediately, everyone present witnessed an overwhelmingly terrifying red light charging towards them from afar.

Accompanied by a killing intent-laden voice.

"Unsheathing the sword!"
