Chapter 861: Corpse Insects! (1/2)

“Lin Feng, it seems like you’re definitely going to kill Fa Chun,” said Zu Ti, coming out. He looked serious. Lin Feng nodded. He did want to kill him, but after having used him.

“Haha! You now understand people can be useful sometimes,” said Zu Ti. He found that amusing. Lin Feng was growing up. In the past, he categorically refused to use people. He was progressing. “But the Five Heroes didn’t do anything, I was surprised. They didn’t seem to care about Fa Chun. Why though?” asked Zu Ti skeptically.

“Easy. The Five Heroes came to the Fa Lan Empire to form an alliance with them, but their group hasn’t told them anything yet, so they can’t make decisions on their own.

“Besides, the Five Heroes don’t like Fa Chun either, just like me. They didn’t mind me teaching him a good lesson. They don’t want to be enemies with me, as there are no tensions between the Ancient Soul Clan and me.

“The Five Heroes have already tried to provoke me a little, but they didn’t go too far, so I don’t need to feel offended for the time being,” Lin Feng analyzed, continuing to walk. There was a gloomy Qi around them, worse than in other rooms. There was even more blood on the ground and dim purple lights.

It smelled like death, and the smell was becoming more and more unbearable as they got into the depths of the palace. Lin Feng had to put his hand on his nose; the putrid smell was horrible.

They arrived in the very back of the palace and finally saw what stank like that: a black coffin with dragon patterns on it. It was five meters long and two meters wide, and it didn’t have a lid.

The coffin was rotten, but not the text and dragon patterns. They were in perfect condition.

Lin Feng and Zu Ti walked up to the coffin and looked inside. They were both surprised. There was nobody inside, and nothing either. It was just empty and smelled horrible. Lin Feng and Zu Ti didn’t understand what was going on.

“Break the coffin and we’ll see,” said Zu Ti. Lin Feng took the Sword of Remote Times, and Zu Ti disappeared inside.

Lin Feng cut with the sword, and there was an explosion. The sound of droning insects spread in the air. Insects appeared, more and more of them, the length of a finger. They looked like spiders, each having a single red eye, quite disgusting.

When the insects saw Lin Feng was alive, they started moving towards him and crawling up. They were not very fast, but Lin Feng looked glum. He stepped back and used the Sword of Remote Times to remove the insects from him, but it seemed useless.

“Right, Jia Yan’s Eyes Tao Skill!” Lin Feng exclaimed, and his blood-red third eye appeared. A light beam appeared and it bombarded a thousand insects.

Lin Feng didn’t stop. Every second, a hundred insects flew away, but more and more insects continued crawling up him, and he didn’t even remove half of them that way.

Lin Feng felt pressured. If he wasn’t mistaken, those insects were corpse insects. They were created in corpses and coffins and fed on living people.

I can’t die like this. I need to think of a solution, thought Lin Feng. He was covered in cold sweat. Too many insects were still crawling up him, on his clothes, on his feet. He tried to stomp on them and ichor splashed, smelling horrible.

Let’s maybe draw the others’ attention. I hope they’re still outside, thought Lin Feng. He flew towards the gate and went back to the previous room.

Luckily, the Five Heroes and Fa Chun weren’t gone. The Five Heroes probably wanted to cure Fa Chun’s arm first.
