Chapter 158.1: The Heart of the Black Demonic Nightcrawler (2/2)

Following that, he pushed Tang Doudou aside and noiselessly approached the Black Demonic Nightcrawler. Borrowing the luster of those green lights, Tang Doudou saw that there was a huge monster lying on the ground about three steps in front of them. Its silver, scale-covered body was moving up and down faintly. The sound of breathing surrounded them from all directions and was stifling.

Now that Jun Xin was no longer in front of her, Tang Doudou became very scared. At the same time, she didn’t dare to move so she could only wait anxiously without moving. She hoped that Jun Xin would be able to get it fast and that nothing unexpected would happen.

She didn’t know if the Heavens were purposefully working against her, but right after she thought that, the surroundings started shaking again. The rumbling noises were practically about to burst Tang Doudou’s eardrums. Following that, she saw the Black Demonic Nightcrawler frantically start wiggling.

Only now did Tang Doudou realize that the things that looked like fireflies were actually specks on the Black Demonic Nightcrawler’s body. When it moved, it looked like a flowing green Milky Way. The breathtaking scene almost made Tang Doudou forget about the current danger!

“So beautiful…”

“Don’t just stand here, dodge the falling rocks!” Jun Xin’s warning jolted Tang Doudou back to her senses and she hastily dodged a rock falling towards her. When she saw that rocks were falling all around, she hastily moved back.

She didn’t know how big the Black Demonic Nightcrawler must be to cause such a huge disturbance just by moving a little. It was hard to imagine what would happen if it started moving its entire body.

When Tang Doudou’s thought up to here, she started worrying about Jun Xin again. Would he really be able to successfully dig out the bug’s heart?

“Boom!”

“Aooo!”

Tang Doudou didn’t know what Jun Xin did, but the Black Demonic Nightcrawler started moving frantically. That silvery green river surged forward violently towards Tang Doudou. She was so frightened her face was completely pale. She hastily retreated backward but that bug’s speed was shockingly fast. In just a few breaths, it was so close it was about to crush her.

Swoosh!

Silver light flashed past and Jun Xin’s figure appeared above Tang Doudou’s head. He abruptly sent a palm strike over. Blood-colored light turned into a curtain and enveloped the bug. Its enormous body was instantly struck back.

It crashed into the opposite wall, making an enormous boom.

“Aooo!”

The Black Demonic Nightcrawler was angry now. Its lifted its enormous head and opened its mouth to roar, then rushed towards the two.

Jun Xin’s eyes turned slightly cold. Carrying Tang Doudou in a princess hold, he rapidly moved back and dodged the Black Demonic Nightcrawler’s attack.

“W-we had better leave after all!!” Tang Doudou was so scared she was about to wet her pants. She hugged Jun Xin tightly.

The warm and soft sensation caused Jun Xin to momentarily be distracted. However, he quickly came back to his senses and once again tightened his grip. The dagger in his hand flew out. As it flew, it embedded deeply into the Black Demonic Nightcrawler’s body. “Hold on tight. I’ve already injured its lifeline. We only need to hold out for a little longer before we can dig out its heart.”

“So it doesn’t have to be dug out live?” After Jun Xin threw the dagger, he brought Tang Doudou to a place very far away.

Jun Xin replied, “When a Black Demonic Nightcrawler is close to death, all the essence blood in its body would rush toward its heart. That’s the best time to dig it out!”

From the looks of it, Jun Xin had done quite a lot of homework on Black Demonic Nightcrawlers. The two silently waited for a long time. The Black Demonic Nightcrawler didn’t seem to have good eyesight. When they didn’t make any sound, it didn’t attack again. It just continuously threshed on the ground, trying to lessen the bone-penetrating pain it felt.

However, Jun Xin’s dagger was just like a poisonous snake. The more the Black Demonic Nightcrawler moved, the deeper the dagger went.

The scene soon turned tragic. Tang Doudou couldn’t bear to watch anymore and turn away. Only then did she realize that she was still in Jun Xin’s arms. The side of her head was pressed right against his firm chest. She could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat that right then sped up a bit chaotically.

Tang Doudou was a bit speechless. She didn’t know why Jun Xin’s heart was speeding up.

Could it be that he got too excited fighting just now?

Or was it that he was tired from carrying her?
