Chapter 137 My Goodness...

"My goodness..."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but cover her rosy little mouth. Were there at least several million of these sky-covering, sun-obscuring poisonous insects?

With so many poisonous insects, how long would they have to kill before they were all gone?

"Yu-ge..." Yang Xiangdi stared wide-eyed in the direction of the ancient well.

"Yeah, what is it?" Qiao Yu's expression was solemn.

"That woman is even hotter than Irene! Such an older-sister vibe, I really like it!"

"Indeed, it's a pity. Like Irene, she's just an NPC," Qiao Yu said.

"So what if she's an NPC? Have you forgotten that all the sensory experiences in the Otherworld are exactly the same as in the real world?" Yang Xiangdi said.

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. What Yang Xiangdi said seemed to make some sense. The Otherworld probably didn't have real-time surveillance, right?

"Hey! What on earth are you two thinking? Is now the time to be talking about whether that woman is good-looking or not? Can't you see all those poisonous insects?"

Fang Yuan lowered her voice and scolded.

"But Fang Yuan, I think what they're saying makes a lot of sense." Looking at the exquisite woman's graceful figure, Long Chang's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"Indeed, it makes a lot of sense." Fang Xun was also staring intently.

"You! You! All you men are horndogs! Ptooey!" Fang Yuan spat.

Clap clap clap!

In front of the ancient well made of green stone, the exquisite woman clapped her hands, and two strong men carried out a large vat filled with scarlet chunks.

They placed the vat in front of the ancient well. The unknown objects inside the vat were still wriggling and emitted a foul stench.

Buzz!

The countless insects in the sky instantly swarmed around, frantically snatching at the scarlet chunks of meat.

A large vat of scarlet meat was soon half-devoured.

"Oh great insect swarm, please bless my Wanling (Myriad Spirits) tribal village with favorable weather and abundant harvests, and protect the tribesmen of my Wanling tribal village from the suffering of disease. We will offer you the freshest human flesh."

The woman's voice was melodious and gentle, but the words she spoke sent a chill down one's spine.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing that the large vat was filled with human flesh, Fang Yuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and dry heave.

"Who's there!"

The exquisite woman suddenly turned her head, a cold glint flashing in her starry eyes.

As her gaze swept over them, the poisonous insects in the sky flew towards Qiao Yu and the others.

For a time, the sky was covered and the sun obscured, even the moonlight was blocked by the shadows of the insects.

Seeing this scene, the tribesmen kneeling on the ground lowered their heads even further.

"Run!"

Without hesitation, Qiao Yu directly grabbed Yang Xiangdi and ran. Although his attack power was high, he didn't have a single area-of-effect skill.

With such a massive number of poisonous insects, even if he stood still and let Qiao Yu kill them, he would still die from exhaustion.

"Crap! Wait for us!" Realizing what was happening, Long Chang and Fang Xun also hurriedly followed.

However, how could they outrun a swarm of flying insects on two legs?

Seeing the swarm getting closer and closer, Qiao Yu could even smell the stench emanating from the poisonous insects.

"Sand Earth Bind!"

At the critical moment, Yang Xiangdi raised his hand and summoned a large patch of sand to briefly hinder the swarm.

"Long Chang, use water magic to wash over us, quick!" Fang Yuan also knew that she had caused trouble and quickly spoke up.

"Understood! Blessing of Water." Long Chang waved his staff, and a stream of clear water flowed over the five of them.

By the time Yang Xiangdi's sand was devoured by the swarm, their figures had already disappeared.

Losing their target, the swarm of insects began to circle restlessly in place.

"So, it was you few little rats."

The woman gently waved her hand, and the swarm quieted down. She stared in the direction where Qiao Yu and the others had fled, revealing a strange smile.

"Brother Yang Xiangdi, thanks to you for blocking that swarm of insects just now, otherwise, we would have been gnawed into skeletons!"

Fang Xun said breathlessly, the original classmate address turning into brother.

Under the test of life and death, friendship warms up the fastest, but it is also the easiest to break.

"Don't thank me, just tell your sister not to cause any more trouble next time," Yang Xiangdi said unhappily.

Even though he had a good temper, he was still resentful about almost being killed by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and she said with great guilt.

"I'm sorry, I definitely won't do this again next time. I had Long Chang wash away our scent, so we're safe for the time being."

"Why are you, a grown man, bothering with a girl? Are you embarrassed? Can't you, a grown man, be more tolerant of women?" Long Chang retorted from the side.

"Can't." Yang Xiangdi retorted, "You want to chase her, but I don't, so why should I be tolerant of her? By the way, simp gets none!"

"What did you say?!" Long Chang, whose inner secret had been exposed, angrily took out his staff. He had always had a crush on Fang Yuan.

"What's wrong, want to fight?" Qiao Yu, who had been standing aside, said coldly.

Recalling the scene of Qiao Yu smashing a boulder with one punch, Long Chang shrank his neck and ultimately didn't dare to continue being stubborn.

"Let's put this matter to rest for now. The top priority is to complete the exclusive mission. Now, at least we know where the poisonous insects of Wandu (Myriad Poisons) Cave are hiding."

"Let's go back quickly, otherwise, if Xiaodong's parents find out we're not here, tonight's operation will be exposed."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he continued to walk back. The Fang Xun siblings were both fire mages, and fire magic was extremely effective against insects.

If these three teammates weren't useful, Qiao Yu would have already shown compassion and physically delivered them to the afterlife.

Sure enough, they had just returned to the house when their door was knocked on.

Creak.

After the door opened, a childish figure appeared in front of Qiao Yu.

"I'm sorry, handsome big brother, did I disturb your rest so late?" Xiaodong asked, sticking out her playful little tongue.

"It's okay, we're the ones who disturbed you. Did something happen so late?" Qiao Yu put on an innocent expression.

"It's nothing, just a few petty thieves sneaked in. Let me go in and take a look."

Xiaodong squeezed into the house past Qiao Yu and began to count on her fingers.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all five are here, all here. See, I told you handsome big brother and the others didn't run around!"

Xiaodong said proudly with her hands on her hips. Behind her followed several tribesmen from the Wandu tribal village.

"Sorry, esteemed guests, there's been a bit of a situation in the village. For the next period of time, we can only trouble you to stay in this room."

A bald, burly man with a scorpion totem tattooed on his face stepped forward and said.

Qiao Yu recognized him as one of the two burly men who had carried the large vat of flesh just now.

"Understood, we will definitely cooperate." Qiao Yu showed a friendly smile.

The bald man nodded, turned around, and left with the tribesmen.

"Handsome big brother, then you guys stay here obediently. Xiaodong is leaving, I'll come to bring you food tomorrow!" Xiaodong waved her hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"
