Chapter 1154: Ghost Worms

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

This time, the injury Deaf Taoist sustained was serious. He was burned, and the wounds were not common ones. The flames pierced through many parts of his body and even some pieces of his bones were reduced to ashes…

Over the years, it was rare that he would be injured like this. Previously, when he was forced to a dead end by Lu Li, he pretended to be willing to become Lu Li’s spiritual beast and wanted to plot against Lu Li. Instead, he almost lost his soul to the silver dragon, and he ended up really becoming Lu Li’s spiritual beast.

That matter already vexed the Deaf Taoist. He did not foresee that he would be injured by Blazing Huo at the moment. He was a being from the Region of Doom. He would accept his fate if he were wounded by an immortal but not if it was Blazing Huo—a mortal human being.

Lu Li did not care how annoyed and angry the Deaf Taoist was. The only one Lu Li was concerned about was Blazing Huo. Lu Li sped the Wicked Bead up to the extreme. It had been six hours since Blazing Huo escaped. It would take Lu Li some time to catch up with Blazing Huo, at least about 10 hours.

Two hours later, Lu Li suddenly noticed the space begun to tremble as a huge crowd of worms flew out.

Those worms seemed to be half-transparent with sizes of a thumb. Even their veins were visible. Though they somehow looked like the common worms, they had four alarmingly sharp tusks!

The Wicked Bead was so fast that some of the worms got stuck on it. Lu Li was taken aback when he saw over a dozen worms were biting the Wicked Bead. It was flickering. Lu Li noticed that the energy was running away quickly as if there were over a dozen Deaf Taoist attacking at the Wicked Bead…

“Ghost Worms!”

Lu Li suddenly remembered and said to the Deaf Taoist in a hurry, “There are over a dozen Ghost Worms attacking the Wicked Bead. Do you know what to do?”

“Over a dozen?”

The Deaf Taoist was shocked. He might have the courage to go and face the worms if there were merely a few worms. However, he might suffer misfortune if he had to fight over a dozen of them.

Seeing that the Deaf Taoist was hesitating, Lu Li knew he could only rely on himself. He flew the Wicked Bead backward, trying to get rid of the worms, only to realize that the worms were attached to the Wicked Bead.

“Boom, boom!”

Lu Li thought he might just as well smash the Wicked Bead into the mountains on the ground. Due to the impact, the ground caved in. But when Lu Li checked with psychic power, he was surprised to see that the Ghost Worms were not harmed at all.

Then again, if the Ghost Worms could be ground to death, the Deaf Taoist would have taken care of them.

Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to go out and deal with the Ghost Worms using a Relic weapon. He believed that a Relic weapon must be able to kill those little worms.

“Squeak, squeak~”

At that moment, Little White just happened to wake up. Little White wagged its tail and climbed up on Lu Li’s shoulder with a wide smile. Little White began to rub its head against Lu Li’s face.

“Little White, stay here. I have to deal with something.”

Lu Li patted Little White’s head. But Little White grabbed his shoulder and would not let go. Little White fell asleep as soon as it came into the Wicked Bead. Prior to that, Little White had absorbed much energy from thunderbolts. Recently, Little White had been trying to consume energy. Naturally, Little White missed hanging out with Lu Li.

Lu Li did not try to force Little White back. He thought it was fine since he was only going to take action and would come back in soon. So he dashed out with Little White at once.

“Swish, swish~”

After he went outside, he swung the Relic weapon and targeted at two of the Ghost Worms. He did not use the Slayer’s move yet because he wanted to find out about the defense of the Ghost Worms. Lu Li decided that it was okay. After all, he was only going to be outside for a short while and come back soon. So he went out with Little White together.

“Clank, clank~”

The Relic weapon hit the worms, giving out a noise of metals bumping together. The two Ghost Worms saw Lu Li. They came toward him and let out some weird screams.

Lu Li was not afraid because he had the Relic weapon on. That being said, he did not want Little White to be harmed. He wanted to go back into the Wicked Bead at once.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Right then, Little White suddenly began to scream at the worms, accompanied by the unspeakable energy around.

Lu Li was about to enter the Wicked Bead when he used psychic power to check and only to find out that… the Ghost Worms were motionless in the air. They were afraid to come over.

“Eh?”

Many years ago, Lu Li remembered, at the Northern Desert, Little White could frighten many Xuan Beast and could control some low-level Xuan Beasts.

Unexpectedly, the same thing was happening again. Only this time, Little White overwhelmed the Ghost Worms, something even the Deaf Taoist was afraid of!

“Well done!”

Making sure that the Ghost Worms were not coming close and even the ones biting the Wicked Bead had stopped, Lu Li shouted with delight, “Little White, nice job!”

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White rose its head proudly and smiled. Since Lu Li brought the Dragon Demon under control, he rarely let Little White contribute. Later on, Lu Li was growing stronger and stronger, and his enemies were more intimidating. Little White had even fewer chances to contribute.

Little White was as smart as a human being. During the past few years, Little White had a feeling of being left out, wondering if Lu Li was distancing himself.

For Little White, Lu Li was its only family, its only master. Little White did not know what to do if Lu Li went away. That was why Little White asked to be taken to the Island of Tranquility by Bai Xiashuang to cultivate in thunderbolts.

Little White was pleased to be able to come with Lu Li this time. Little White was even more joyful to be able to help Lu Li and be praised. Little White jumped around Lu Li’s shoulders, with its head raised, happily…

Lu Li patted Little White’s head. He took out some Soul Crystals to feed Little White. He thought he should bring Little White back into the Wicked Bead before continuing to go after Blazing Huo. Now, Lu Li changed his mind. He asked, “Little White, can you control those worms? It will be nice if you can.”

Those worms were horrifying. Not even a Relic weapon could kill them. Each worm could be as powerful as the Deaf Taoist, who didn’t even have the courage to come out when he heard there were over a dozen worms outside…

If Little White could control the worms, Lu Li couldn’t even imagine the assistance he could have. Later, once he caught up with Blazing Huo, Lu Li didn’t have to do anything. He could just ask Little White to send out some worms, and they could bite Blazing Huo to death easily.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White was hesitating. It screamed to Lu Li, implying that it wanted to have a try. Little White flew off from Lu Li’s shoulders and emitted its energy. Little White shouted at the worms, and its horns were glistening.

After a moment, Little White came back. Little White was disappointed, and it shook its head. Little White made some sounds of guilt. Then Little White made more noises as if it was trying to convey some messages.

Lu Li could understand Little White. He asked, “You are saying that you cannot control them now and can only contain them? In the future, when you are stronger, you can control them. Is that right?”

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White nodded. Lu Li patted its head and said words of comfort, “Little White, don’t worry. We are in the Prison of Darkness. It is the Prison of Soul above here and then the Prison of Thunder. Thunderbolts there are strong. If you can endure the thunderbolts there, you will progress quickly.”

“Squeak, squeak!”

Little White raised its head, and its eyes were speaking words of pride as if no thunderbolt could pose any pressure…
