"This is no time for jokes."
Ji Yunyue's face was chillingly cold as she raised her hand and lit a fire starter.
As the firelight flickered, revealing the dense mass of蛊虫 (gu worms) in the surrounding darkness, all three gasped in unison!
"How can there be so many gu worms? We, we have to break out!" Guan Ya, though unsure of the current situation, felt that the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would become.
Ji Yunyue clearly saw the strange patterns appearing on the ground, her cold eyes blazing with killing intent!
"Bastard, Shan Hanyi, that bastard, actually used the Gu Poison Profound Array on us!"
"Gu Poison Profound Array?!"
The mysterious girl's expression changed drastically, turning ashen pale, her voice trembling slightly, "Are you talking about that Gu Poison Profound Array that gathers many types of malevolent gu worms? This thing... its power can even kill a Great Shaman, right?"
Hearing this explanation, Guan Ya's legs began to tremble.
Even though he was the only man among the three, any one of the two young ladies beside him was far stronger than him.
"That's right. In the wilderness, by borrowing the energy of the earth veins, the Gu Poison Profound Array's power is greatly amplified! Moreover, there's the smell of blood here... The Gu Poison Profound Array thrives on blood and swells, its power even greater than before. If one of us dies, the power here will double!"
Ji Yunyue explained coldly.
Then, she continued with a grave tone, "Even the Great Elder might not be able to break this Profound Array if he were here!"
The mysterious girl gritted her teeth, a look of desperation flashing in her eyes, "No! I absolutely cannot die here!"
"If you don't want to die, then break the array with all your might. I'll look for a breakthrough. If we're lucky, we might be able to rush out!"
Ji Yunyue quickly scanned her surroundings, speaking in a deep voice.
But Guan Ya had already acted before them. A large amount of Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist spread out, making the surrounding darkness transparent and repelling a large number of gu worms.
Ji Yunyue and the mysterious girl were somewhat surprised.
They had forgotten that Guan Ya's Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist was the nemesis of gu worms.
No matter how fierce these gu worms were, as long as the array's power hadn't fully erupted, they still had a chance to break out.
"Don't just stand there, hurry and rush out, don't worry about me. These gu worms are absorbing the Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist too quickly!"
Facing so many gu worms, Guan Ya was already struggling.
Ji Yunyue and the mysterious girl suddenly came to their senses and prepared to rush out.
However, the gu worms that had seemingly decreased moments ago were now soaring in numbers again.
Bang! Bang!
After two dull thuds, both Ji Yunyue and the mysterious girl were flung back by the darkness.
Pfft!
The mysterious girl spat out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn't a serious internal injury; it was just that a gu worm had managed to enter her body, forcing her to expel the gu worm along with the poison within her.
"Bastard, it really is that bastard Shan Hanyi!"
The mysterious girl cursed, then turned to look at Guan Ya.
She saw him kneeling on the ground, his face already turning purple, breathing with difficulty.
"You're crazy, quickly retract the Soul-Devouring Ghost Mist! It's useless, this Profound Array is being controlled, constantly resisting our impact. We can't get out!"
The mysterious girl patted Guan Ya heavily on the back.
If she hadn't stopped him, Guan Ya would have been completely drained of his vitality!
After receiving this palm strike, Guan Ya also spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground!
"En?"
In the undulating deep mountains and old forests, Ling Feng had just collected a rare spiritual herb when his senses suddenly tensed, and he looked up in the direction he came from.
"Heavenly Venerable, what is it?"
Yang Fei noticed Ling Feng's abnormality and stepped forward to ask.
While collecting herbs, Lin Shuainan had also woven a flower crown for Xiuxiu and was about to put it on her. He also suddenly sensed something was wrong.
So, he closed his eyes and twitched his nose.
"The smell of blood! It's a bit far, I can't smell it clearly!"
Lin Shuainan's sudden remark made Xiuxiu's heart skip a beat, and she nervously asked, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Ling Feng had already slightly closed his eyes, and his expression changed drastically!
"It's Wuming Yatou and Guan Ya! Something's happened!"
Hearing this, Lin Shuainan seemed to be jolted awake, and quickly nodded, "That's right, it is indeed their blood smell. Are they injured?"
"Yang Fei, escort Shuainan and Xiuxiu back. I'll go ahead!"
Whoosh!
Ling Feng left a sentence and his figure shot out.
His speed was so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, and he even knocked over several large trees that required two people to embrace!
Bang bang bang!
A large number of trees that were directly impacted fell to the ground.
Lin Shuainan swallowed hard, "Holy crap, this, this is too exaggerated?"
"Don't zone out, Big Brother has already cleared the path! Let's hurry and catch up, or when we get back, we'll only be collecting their bodies!"
Yang Fei snorted and reminded, then immediately quickened his pace.
Lin Shuainan couldn't think much more. He directly picked up Xiuxiu, ignoring her screams, and chased after them.
Lin Shuainan's martial arts strength was still quite formidable, and he had also learned movement techniques for traveling in the mountains from the Medicine King Bai Yunyan. His speed quickly surpassed Yang Fei.
"What's going on? How can this kid's movement technique be so fast, like a wild monkey..." Yang Fei stared with disbelief.
"Don't be slow, hurry up and keep up!" What was most annoying was that Lin Shuainan was still waving at Yang Fei from ahead.
Yang Fei snapped back to his senses, snorted, and his figure moved like lightning. He also unleashed the same powerful movement speed as Ling Feng, knocking over a large number of trees and instantly overtaking Lin Shuainan.
His speed was so fast that it almost shaved off the hair at Lin Shuainan's temples.
"Damn it, cheating! You're playing dirty!"
Lin Shuainan cried out in surprise and could only try his best to catch up.
Meanwhile, on the hillside, Shan Hanyi looked at his hands, panting slightly. The runes drawn with blood were becoming brighter, indicating that someone in the Profound Array was injured.
"Hehe, come on, come on, offer your blood, sacrifice it to my Gu Poison Profound Array!"
Within the Gu Poison Profound Array.
Ji Yunyue, naturally, could not see Shan Hanyi's frenzied posture.
However, after the mysterious girl helped Guan Ya up, she revealed a chilling expression and gritted her teeth, "Very good, Shan Hanyi, you dare to scheme against me again? Then I'll let you taste what it means to have your heart pierced with pain!"
Hearing the mysterious girl's words, Guan Ya and Ji Yunyue simultaneously thought of something!
Right!
During the Witchcraft and Gu Convention, Shan Hanyi had been defeated by the mysterious girl.
Moreover, at that time, the mysterious girl had left a hairpin fragment inside Shan Hanyi!
It contained gu worm eggs!
If this Gu Poison Profound Array was controlled by Shan Hanyi, then the only one who could deal with Shan Hanyi remotely now was her!
