Chapter 430: Not in Barbarian Mound Garrison (1/2)

Upon hearing this, Baili Yu froze and was almost injured by the creature's sharp claws. He hastily dodged, then sent Blood Satan flying out. There was a brief flash, then the creature's enormous arm was cut open and sticky green blood splashed all over the floor.

Baili Yu shielded Tang Doudou as he dodged the disgusting blood and moved a distance away. The room was currently fully lit so the situation inside the room was completely visible. This strange creature that seemed to be Grandma Shen was the only thing in this room. There were no other sources of danger.

Baili Yu lowered Tang Doudou, then asked again, ”Are you sure that's Grandma Shen?”

Tang Doudou was originally very sure, but when she saw Baili Yu looking at her so seriously, she became a little uncertain and hesitated. ”It, it should be her!”

As she spoke, she looked towards the creature again. However, her recollection of what Grandma Shen looked like seemed to become foggy and the more she looked, the more unsure she became. She rubbed her chin helplessly. ”I'm not sure either!”

Baili Yu knew this was because she wanted to be certain, which made her doubt herself. So now he was certain that this creature was Grandma Shen. He recalled what she said about Grandma Shen dying and looked towards the corner of the room which was filled with Grandma Shen's pots and jars.

The creature had been injured by him and was howling in pain at the side. For the time being, it didn't have the energy to attack again.

Baili Yu walked towards the pots. When Tang Doudou saw him move, she glanced fearfully towards the creature, then hastily followed after him.

Once they reached that area, Baili Yu reached out with his slender fingers in preparation to lift the jar and look inside. Tang Doudou recalled the disgusting bugs she had seen inside the pots in Tree Valley and immediately grabbed his hand. ”Don't look!”

”Hm?” Baili Yu hadn't expected for her to have such a large reaction and looked over to ask, ”What's wrong?”

Tang Doudou looked towards the pots with disgust. ”I've seen what's inside before. They're all filled with those bugs that are covered with sharp incisors. Shen Moru had wanted to feed my blood to those bugs.”

Baili Yu hadn't expected that she was stopping him because of this. He said with a smile, ”It's fine, I know what those bugs are. I just want to see if Grandma Shen's transformation has anything to do with these bugs.

”Don't worry, I won't let them get out.”

Alright, he always had an explanation that she couldn't argue against.

When Tang Doudou's thoughts got to here, she let go of his hand and Baili Yu picked up a jar. He flicked his finger slightly and the stopper on the jar was flicked off. He glanced inside. Tang Doudou was just about to look as well, but he abruptly picked up the stopper and stuffed it hard on the jar again.

Tang Doudou was startled. ”What's wrong?”

”It's not good!” said Baili Yu in a low voice as he once again attacked the monster with Blood Satan. Several streaks of blood lines flashed across the room and the monster repeatedly screamed. The sound then abruptly stopped as the monster fell backwards, then stopped moving.

After Baili Yu killed that creature, he lifted Tang Doudou and flew out of this house.

”What exactly happened with the bugs?” Once they got out, the warm sunlight outside immediately swept that chill from earlier away. Tang Doudou saw that Baili Yu was still staring at the hole without a word as if he was considering something.

Baili Yu glanced at her. ”They've gotten bigger.”

”Huh?”

”Those are called soul devouring bugs. They had gone extinct many years ago, but the Seven Great Saint Tribes still some specimens. This isn't that unusual…”

”Soul devouring bugs? They sound really scary. Do these bugs eat people?” Tang Doudou recalled the sharp incisors she saw on the bug's underside back in Tree Valley and her scalp prickled.

Baili Yu nodded in answer to Tang Doudou's question, then he looked towards the mountain ranges. He remarked softly, ”Soul devouring bugs? What exactly is he trying to do?”

This sudden question made Tang Doudou completely lost and she leaned over to ask, ”Who?”

”Lan Jia!” Baili Yu pressed his lips together tightly, then spat these words.

When Tang Doudou heard this name, she slapped her head. ”My memory's seriously bad! I forgot the most important matter again!”

She ended up hitting herself too hard and inhaled sharply from the pain. Baili Yu felt heartache and also helpless as he rubbed her head. ”Silly girl.”

Tang Doudou pouted. ”This is sincerity!”

After refuting, she continued on with what she was about to say earlier. ”Speaking of Lan JIa, when Jun Xin and Yiling got into trouble, the Wind Shadow guard brought back a message that Jun Xin had told Yiling to bring. However, Yiling insisted on going back to find Jun Xin, so he ended up bringing it.”

”Oh? Even if Jun Xin wasn't killed by the mysterious person, he probably would've been angered to death by what Yiling did. I already warned her before she left not to be so rash and overestimate herself. It sounds like she hasn't kept my warning in mind at all.” When Baili Yu heard this, he laughed helplessly.

However, Tang Doudou rolled her eyes. Was this the main point?

Furthermore, she didn't find anything wrong with what Baili Yiling did. If it were her, she would also go back to find Jun Xin. Escaping by herself was way too disloyal!

However, she only thought this because she had a lot of past history with Jun Xin. What about Baili Yiling? Why did she turn back despite the fact that she likely would die?

When had her relationship with Jun Xin become one of facing life and death together?

Tang Doudou was confused.
