He didn’t want to drag Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing into this mess, but he had to go back, even if it meant losing his life.

“You’re such a troublesome fellow. ” Bing Wuqing frowned. She didn’t have a good impression of Chu Tianlu to begin with. At this moment, she felt that this fellow didn’t know what was good for him. In her opinion, they weren’t even close. Since Chu Tianlu wanted to die, then he should just let him die.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was quite impressed. There weren’t many people who were so loyal these days, and Chu Tianlu was a rare weirdo. He couldn’t bear to see him die like this. He smiled bitterly,”Forget it, for the sake of the spirit sense fruit, I’ll go back and take a look. You guys stay here and don’t come over.”

“I don’t think so? Brother Lin, you’ve already done your best for me. Hurry up and leave, don’t worry about me, I’m just going to take a look. I’ll help if I can, but if I can ‘t, then forget it. I won’t do anything stupid. ” Chu Tianlu said earnestly.

Bing Wuqing didn’t say anything, but she didn’t agree with him. Her logic was simple. It was meaningless to take risks for an outsider, especially someone at Lin Yi’s level.

“Just a glance? Do you have the ability to do so?” Lin Yi, on the other hand, rolled his eyes at Tianlu. Something that even he was scared of-with Tianlu’s measly strength, he’d be dead with just one look.

Chu Tianlu sweated. Lin Yi wasn’t being polite, but he couldn’t refute him at all. He could only watch as Lin Yi left him and Bing Wuqing behind, turning around and leaving. In the blink of an eye, they were gone.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but shiver at the scene when he returned to where he was just now. Chu Tianlu’s two friends were still screaming and running for their lives, but there was a dark mass following closely behind them. At first glance, it looked like dark clouds covering the sky, like a sandstorm. It was much faster than the two of them, and it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to escape.

At this time, the tall man who was running in front had a ferocious expression on his face. He suddenly pulled out his sword and shot a sharp sword Qi behind him. He was forced into a dead end and had no choice.

However, he didn’t want to turn around and fight to the death with that Black Mass. The target of his sword was actually another young cultivator who was following closely behind him. They had been best friends for decades, and that person simply didn’t expect his best friend to be so vicious at this life and death juncture.

Two people were being chased by the same Tiger. If they wanted to escape, they didn’t need to outrun the Tiger. As long as they could outrun the other person, it would be enough. This was a truth that everyone knew. It was just that he didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen to him.

The sword Qi was right in front of him, and the young cultivator hurriedly dodged it. The sword Qi almost brushed past his scalp and cut off a strand of black hair. The scene was dangerous, but it was not worth rejoicing over.

Because he was avoiding the sword Qi, his footsteps unconsciously paused for a moment, and it was in this short moment that the black cloud behind him had firmly enveloped him. Then, like a parasite, a large mass of it firmly stuck to his body, unable to be removed. He could no longer escape.

At the same time, the tall man who had escaped first was not out of danger as he had expected. After all, it was not a Tiger chasing after them. When the black cloud shrouded the young cultivator, it split into two at the same time, but he did not fall behind at all. On the contrary, he even closed in on him. A terrifying buzzing sound that made people’s scalps numb rang in his ears, getting closer and closer.

“Help! Help me!” The tall guy saw Lin Yi’s figure in front of him and thought that he’d found a life-saving straw. He quickly shouted-he’d be dead for sure if no one came to his rescue in this situation.

Lin Yi looked on coldly. He still had the intention to save him, but after seeing what this guy did just now, he gave up on that thought completely. This kind of person would be a disaster even if he was saved. He’d rather let him die.

However, what Lin Yi was really concerned about was the black cloud that covered the two of them. It was hard to see with the naked eye from a hundred feet away, but if you looked closely, you’d realize that it wasn’t a black cloud at all, but a bunch of tiny bugs!

At first glance, it looked a little like a beetle, but it was much smaller. Each of them was so black that it was shiny, as if they were wrapped in a layer of strange black oil. Once you were stuck to them, they would penetrate through all the holes, facial features, and even the skin and hair pores of the whole body, making sizzling sounds.

Lin Yi looked on coldly as the two of them were struggling. They were trapped by the black bugs and had no chance of escaping. The only thing they could do was to struggle.

From a distance, the two of them seemed to have gone mad, beating their bodies with all their might. They didn’t care even if their skin was torn open and their flesh was torn, or even if they were to vomit blood.

“You guys are crazy!” In the end, Chu Tianlu still followed them over. When he saw this scene, he hurriedly went up to help. As a good friend of many years, he couldn’t just stand by and watch the two of them harm themselves.

Lin Yi reached out to stop him,”open your eyes and look carefully. They’re slapping the bugs on their bodies. If I’m not wrong, these black bugs will crazily burrow into a person’s body once they possess them. Even if they’re attached to the outside, they’ll suck blood like crazy. If you don’t want to die, don’t move.”

“Bugs?” Chu Tianlu was taken aback. The black bugs were almost invisible to the naked eye to normal people, and at this distance, he couldn’t see them clearly with his strength, let alone see them as clearly as Lin Yi.

“There are actually such terrifying insects in this world. It’s really appalling!” Bing Wuqing had caught up as well, and her expression changed when she saw this scene. She had thought that with her current strength, she could go to any dangerous place in the small Jianghu of the immemorial era. She didn’t expect that this small snake Island would be so dangerous. The sky-devouring giant crocodile was already able to kill her, and the threat of these tiny black worms in front of her was even greater!

If they were lucky enough to come here to take an adventure, it would be fine. If they were unlucky, they would encounter the sky-devouring giant crocodile and the terrifying black insects one after another. Even if an ordinary Aurous core stage or Foundation Stage expert had ten lives, they would not be able to survive.

Chu Tianlu couldn’t hold it in any longer as he watched the two men’s injuries get worse and worse, even starting to bleed from their seven apertures. He knew that he couldn’t save them, and the only person who could save them was Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi had saved his life before, and letting him go was already the best he could do. How could he ask Lin Yi to take such a big risk for two unrelated people?

However, they had no choice. If they didn’t do anything, the two of them would definitely die!
