C194 (1/2)

As I walked through the darkness, a beam of light appeared in front of me. The light looked extremely soft and gentle, and I couldn't help but walk in the direction of the light.

In that light, I could barely feel anything else, hardly see anything else, my eyes were full of light, but the light was not blinding, and as I was bathed in the light, I did not want to wake up at all. I had never experienced that feeling of comfort before, and I did not know what language to use to describe it.

”He shouldn't be here.” Even if I could hear the voice, I wouldn't be able to imagine that the owner of the voice was a man or a woman, old or young. Forget it, I'll just indulge or enjoy the process, but after the voice has disappeared, I don't know how long, or seconds, or days, I'm suddenly pushed out of the white light, feeling the normal air around me again.

”Phew …” He slowly breathed out before opening his eyes. He had not yet completely recovered from the feeling of comfort brought by the white light. His soul once again returned to this body that existed in the mortal world.

”You're finally awake.” It was a very familiar voice. I raised my head and saw that it was senior sister. Her expression seemed to be doing her best to hide her panic. ”What's wrong senior sister? Where are we?” I asked, sitting up and feeling the wet earth around me. I found myself lying on the ground.

”Fortunately, Master Duan and I were able to make it in time, otherwise …” ”Ai, I won't say anymore. It's good as long as you are awake.” As Senior Sister said this, I remembered that the queen bug used that long thorn to pierce into my body. That thorn was poisonous, and after I was poisoned, I fainted. I didn't expect that I would be fine.

I opened my shirt and looked. There was indeed a wound on my lower abdomen, but it had basically healed and I didn't feel any pain. I vaguely remembered the scene when I was unconscious and asked, ”Senior sister, how long have I been unconscious for?”

The Senior Sister said, ”It's been about five minutes.” What, only five minutes? Why did I feel so long ago? I couldn't figure it out.

Looking up, there was a person standing in front of me. He was not tall, his image was slovenly, his clothes and pants were extremely dirty, and he held a mirror in his hand. It was Madman Duan.

”I also met him on the way here. He was the one who just saved you,” I said, looking at him with a puzzled expression. ”That bug crawled and squirmed on your body. Master Duan used that mirror to look at it, and the bug ran away.”

Looking ahead, the queen bug raised its front half of its body towards Madman Duan, its blood-red head shaking from time to time, ready to attack at any time. ”Master Duan, be careful of that bug, it will spray acid, very powerful, and its poisonous thorns.” ”No,” I said.

Madman Duan, who was originally standing steadily, turned his head around and said after hearing my words, ”You two brats, don't move recklessly. See how I take care of these bugs.”

I don't know much about the Madman Duan, but for some reason, I have an indescribable trust in him. I saw some things from him that were very similar to Master's;

The queen bug hissed a few times, and the sound didn't sound like an animal's vocal cords, but more like the sound of some metal rubbing against metal. As soon as the sound died down, a tube of acid shot out from the queen bug's head, and I could smell it from so far away.

Madman Duan reacted quickly, she hugged her head and ran back immediately after hearing what I said. She ran over to Senior Sister and pulled us both up and said: ”Hurry and run, this thing is too strong.”

A few black lines streaked across my head, I pulled him back and said: ”Master Duan, I can't leave. That person has captured countless of Infant Spirit s, and there's also that River Lord. I can't let him go no matter what, Master Duan, don't you have that mirror? Use that treasure to deal with it.”

Madman Duan said with difficulty: ”The mirror is useless. I was in too much of a hurry to save you just now, so I threw the mirror out to smash those bugs. After that, it became useless.”

It can't be, you dare to throw such a precious thing like this as a brick? But the thought that he was trying to save me still made me grateful.

”Alright then. Master Duan, you can go first. I can deal with it.” I don't know why, but looking at the River Lord struggling in pain and Infant Spirit holding on with his eyes tightly shut, I couldn't stop my hatred towards the Old Deaf. If I let him go today, how many more spirit beasts would he harm in the future?
