They could not sit idly by. Several people immediately jumped off the carriage and walked towards the corpse worms. Because Leng Ruo Li had no internal energy, Jun Mo Han, Leng Jin Yu, Ye Yi, and Ye Er protected her tightly in the center, intending to eliminate these corpse worms with their internal energy.
However, surprisingly, as soon as these corpse worms saw them approaching, they instantly scattered with a "swish."
Huh, I didn't expect these mosquito repellent sachets of hers to be effective.
"Let's go. While these corpse worms have run off, we should leave here quickly," Leng Jin Yu said, reminding them.
The group bolted.
But suddenly, a very unpleasant flute sound came from the alley entrance. They quickly covered their ears. Instantly, the corpse worms became frenzied, crawling towards them like a swarm of horseflies, dense and numerous.
"Damn it! All the corpse worms are rushing this way!" Leng Ruo Li exclaimed.
"Ugly woman, stop staring blankly. Stick close behind this King. I will use my internal energy to open a passage, and you run out quickly."
Jun Mo Han pulled Leng Ruo Li towards him, making her closer.
Upon hearing Jun Mo Han's words, Leng Jin Yu nodded in admiration. He turned to Leng Ruo Li and said, "Li'er, His Highness Prince Leng's internal energy is the strongest here. You should listen to His Highness Prince Leng and stay close behind him. That's right."
"Oh, oh, Father, you must be careful too." Leng Ruo Li nodded obediently.
Jun Mo Han immediately spread his hands and channeled his internal energy. A flame instantly ignited in his hands and shot towards the corpse worms. A large patch of corpse worms was sent flying by Jun Mo Han, and a path was finally cleared a little.
Following that, Leng Jin Yu and the other two also channeled their internal energy and struck at the corpse worms, widening the path further.
"Let's go. We'll clear the way with our internal energy as we move out."
Jun Mo Han said, running ahead to lead the way.
Suddenly, another burst of flute music sounded, and the dense black corpse worms crawled towards them again, and their numbers were twice that of the previous corpse worms, which was chilling to behold.
"Holy cow! What the hell is this? They don't intend to let us live!"
Ye Yi, infuriated, couldn't help but curse.
"Your Highness, these corpse worms cannot be killed even with internal energy. Look, the corpse worms I struck are now alive again."
Ye Er was utterly shocked by these reanimated corpse worms. These corpse worms were truly indomitable like cockroaches.
At this moment, Leng Ruo Li calmed down, her mind racing. She suddenly thought of a method. She wondered if burning these corpse worms would be more effective. Thus, she entered her system space with her mind, searching for some materials that could ignite fire.
As she explored the laboratory, her almond-shaped eyes lit up. Seeing the alcohol on the laboratory table, she slapped her forehead hard.
Using alcohol to start a fire is a great idea.
Immediately, she took out five bottles of liquid alcohol, stored in plastic bottles, from her "sleeves" and distributed them to Jun Mo Han, Leng Jin Yu, and the other two.
When the group took the bottles handed over by Leng Ruo Li, they were stunned.
"Li'er, how did you fit so many things in your sleeves? Aren't they heavy?" Leng Jin Yu asked curiously, while Ye Yi and Ye Er also wanted to ask this question.
"Father, they are not heavy, not heavy at all. I've already taken them all out," Leng Ruo Li explained hastily.
Only Jun Mo Han had a different thought. He felt that Leng Ruo Li must have a big secret on her person, perhaps a legendary Qiankun bag, or a divine artifact that could store things, which she didn't want them to know about.
He cast a meaningful glance at Leng Ruo Li and remained silent.
Leng Ruo Li, however, dared not meet Jun Mo Han's gaze. She always felt that Jun Mo Han seemed to have seen through her little secret.
Leng Ruo Li quickly changed the subject.
"You should open the bottle caps like I do, then use your internal energy to splash the liquid in the bottles onto those corpse worms. After that, light the fire starters you have and throw them onto the corpse worms that have been splashed with this liquid to burn them to death with a large fire," Leng Ruo Li instructed them on how to operate.
The group quickly understood Leng Ruo Li's intention and immediately acted as Leng Ruo Li had said. They used their internal energy to fling the bottles in their hands towards the corpse worms, and then threw their personal fire starters at them.
Instantly, flames erupted around them, and dense swarms of insects were burned to ashes by the intense fire, with the smell of corpses permeating the entire air.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh..."
Although they were all wearing masks, they could still smell the nauseating stench of corpses.
"Damn it, I really don't know what these worms eat to grow so smelly!" Leng Ruo Li said with a frown.
"They eat corpses, or rather, rotten corpses," Jun Mo Han replied faintly.
"Damn it! It's truly disgusting!"
Leng Ruo Li cursed again. Immediately, Jun Mo Han's gaze, as if wanting to kill, casually swept over her neck again, seeming to say: Ugly woman, you are beyond saving!
Leng Ruo Li quickly shrank her neck.
At this moment, an old woman, raggedly dressed, with messy hair and a dirty body, walked out from the alley entrance. She held a dark flute in her hand and leaned on a snake-headed walking stick. Her hair covered half of her face, obscuring her features. This was the Poison Granny that Jun Mo Han often mentioned, one of the Ten Great Killers of the Dark Night Pavilion.
When she saw her corpse worms burned to ashes by the fire, she became furious on the spot: "Who? Who had the rotten idea to burn my precious ones to death?"
"Ah—"
"You killed the swarm of treasures I raised for over ten years! I, Poison Granny, will never forgive you!!!"
With a roar, Poison Granny immediately blew the flute in her hand, and another swarm of dense black snakes crawled towards them from all directions.
Holy cow!
Why does this damned old woman raise so many strange insects and snakes!
She's a freak!
Leng Ruo Li saw the black aura emanating from them and knew that the mouths of these little snakes were also highly poisonous.
"Everyone be careful. Don't let them bite you. These black snakes are also highly venomous," Leng Ruo Li warned with a furrowed brow.
"Your Highness, how should we fight our way out this time? These black snakes look even more terrifying than those corpse worms."
In such a situation, Leng Jin Yu was at a loss.
"Everyone, take out your swords. We'll fight our way out!"
Jun Mo Han's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, his gaze ice-cold as he looked at Poison Granny blowing the flute at the entrance of the alley.
He quickly drew his soft sword from his waist, injected internal energy with his finger, and it instantly transformed into a sharp, glinting long sword. He held it in one hand and slashed at the poisonous snakes.
Leng Jin Yu and the others also drew their swords, just like Jun Mo Han, and charged at the black snakes.
The group still tightly surrounded Leng Ruo Li in the center.
At this moment, Leng Ruo Li kept her attention on Poison Granny. She always felt that the flute in Poison Granny's hand was the key to controlling these black snakes.
She pondered for a moment, took out a handgun from her sleeve, attached a silencer, and fired a shot at Poison Granny.
Poison Granny let out a scream and immediately fell to the ground. It was unclear which part she had been hit.
Upon not hearing Poison Granny's flute, the swarm of black snakes immediately scattered and fled.
Just then, Leng Ruo Li intended to quickly rush to Poison Granny and finish her off with another shot. However, she did not notice that a masked man in black suddenly appeared behind her, knocked her unconscious with a chop to the head, and rescued Poison Granny.
