Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bait

  The poor worm's fingers tightened immediately, biting his teeth: "What, what did I say?"

  Xia Ya thought for a moment: "You said 'Aidier will be afraid, don't drop Aidier'... Hehe. Hey, who is Aidier anyway? You even shout her name in your sleep, she must be your girlfriend!"

  The poor worm's heart almost jumped out of its shell, and upon hearing this, it let out a long sigh of relief, its face flushing red as it stared at the turtle with wide eyes.

  Last night, she indeed had a dream, but what she dreamed of was a scene that made her blush and flush when she woke up: In the dream, this turtle ruthlessly abandoned itself in an uninhabited wilderness, surrounded by ghouls, while it shamefully clung to the turtle's clothes and begged "Don't abandon Edlin, Edlin will be afraid..."

  It goes without saying that Adeline is of course the nickname for poor thing.

  "What? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt! Did I hit the nail on the head? Is this Adeline really your girlfriend?" Xia Ya suddenly shouted in discontent: "It's so unfair! You, an ugly freak, have a woman too! I, Xia Ya, was born so heroic and extraordinary, but I'm still a virgin!"

  Poor thing... or rather, Adeline's face, which had originally faded redness, suddenly came back when she heard the word "virgin".

  Xia Ya, however, had an evil grin on her face as she leaned in close to her, nudging her with her arm: "Hey, tell me, are you a virgin? I bet you're not! Hehe, you're shouting out so intimately even in your dreams! Hey, are you or aren't you a virgin?"

  Adeline was annoyed by him and glared at him with a bad temper, saying: "No!!"

  "Really?" Xia Ya's eyes widened in envy.

  The poor bug almost got so angry that it vomited blood...

  Poor turtle! Foolish turtle! Of course, he's not a virgin! He should be a maiden instead...

  `

  "Alright, don't ask anymore!"

  The poor worm finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  After setting out in the morning, all along the way, Xia Ya seemed to be like a monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks, always getting close to her, with a sly look on his face, hehe, asking her questions back and forth, and finally, with a thick face, discussing men and women's affairs with her.

  "Hey, poor worm, what's the deal with men and women, how does it work?" Xia Ya's expectant expression made Poor Worm feel both annoyed and amused.

  "Alright!" Poor bug (Adeline) sighed and thought for a moment: "You got it wrong, I had a dream last night about my sister, Adeline is just a distant cousin of mine. That's all, not my...my...girlfriend."

  She said that, and Xiaya was instantly disappointed, but soon he calmed down, haha laughed: "That's right! Poor guy, you're so ugly, I think no girl would look at you! Haha, but don't worry, the old man taught me that what's most important for a man is to have skills, looks are born with, you may be a bit clumsy now, but you can practice slowly."

  But after a while, Xia Ya couldn't help but become curious again: "Your cousin... uh, that Adeline, isn't she very beautiful? Hey, speaking of which, we've also been together for several days now, and I have saved your life too. Look at me, Xia Ya, my talents and martial arts skills are all top-notch, otherwise..."

  Here is the translation:

  "Upon saying that, Xia Ya carefully examined Ke Lin's eyes and shook his head with a sigh: "Uh... forget it. Judging from your looks, your cousin probably doesn't look much better either. Alas, I say, Adeline, this name really is quite unpleasant to hear."

  Poor thing is done for!

  "What nonsense are you talking about! Edlin is an ancient Byzantine noble language! It means noble and beautiful! You country bumpkin don't understand, so don't talk randomly!!"

  Too annoying!

  You're already beautiful and charming, but being treated as an ugly freak by this guy is suffocating enough! Now he's even belittling your own name!!!

  ……

  However, with this interruption by the turtle, the gloom that had been weighing on Kui's heart dissipated a lot.

  Moreover, everything went smoothly that day and there were no dangers. The poor worm was worried about encountering "those people" but they didn't appear either.

  It wasn't until evening that they encountered another problem.

  There is no food left.

  The food Xia Ya brought was actually the meat of that bloodthirsty wolf he had killed earlier. However, due to the rush, he couldn't carry the entire wolf, so he just cut a few large pieces of meat and put them in his bag, enough for two people to eat for several days.

  But now... with over a dozen goblins added to our group, this little food is really not enough to go around.

  Xia Ya wasn't being merciful, he just didn't let these earth spirits eat their fill, they really didn't have the energy to hurry along. By afternoon, some of the earth spirits couldn't even move their legs, no matter how much Wang Fei scolded them it was all in vain - in fact, Wang Fei himself was so hungry his eyes were dizzy.

  "Looks like we need to get some food, let's think of a way to hunt something." Xia Ya's eyes swept across the group of goblins in front of Mr. Wang, and this gaze made the poor bugs pray for these poor goblins... This turtle looks rough, but it's really evil and despicable when doing things. Once he gets an idea, these goblins are probably doomed.

  As expected...

  Xia Ya's method is: go hunting!

  Although this is a wilderness, there is food in the wilderness!

  He first kicked out a goblin warrior, ignoring the opponent's screams, and used an axe to lightly cut a few shallow wounds on the poor guy's arm and thigh.

  Suddenly fresh blood flowed out, and this earth spirit saw its own bleeding body, scaring it into loud wailing.

  "What's all the noise about! If you hit the prey, I'll give you an extra piece of meat!" Xia Ya slapped this earth spirit, knocking out half of its teeth.

  Then he took out a rope and tied up the guy's legs, throwing him to the ground, pulling the long rope himself, and retreating with others tens of meters away... hiding behind a large boulder.

  That poor earth spirit bled profusely and let out a miserable cry, its voice echoing far away.

  Other goblins showed no mercy and hid behind rocks to watch with relish, indeed... Goblins are delighted when their companions have bad luck.

  It took as long as a meal to pass, and the earth spirit that was acting like a child gradually lost even the strength to shout, yet there wasn't a single wolf hair in sight around.

  "May the gods preserve us, and may the taste of its blood attract a few wolves." Shaya made a devout prayer.

  "You damned fool, God won't bless such a cruel and absurd thing!" The poor worm can't stand the brutality of this earth.

  Xia Ya glared at the poor worm and said coldly, "You'd better pray, because if this earth spirit can't attract wolves, it's probably because the wolves find the earth spirit's blood too smelly... In that case, I'll have no choice..."

  As he spoke, his eyes swept over Kuihuang Chong's body, instantly scaring him pale.

  "You, if you dare to throw me out as bait, I'll fight you to the death!" The poor wretch cried out in despair, backing away frantically.

  "......" Xia Ya glanced at her and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, you are the one I've been keeping to deal with Long, so I won't use you up now."

  He paused, and Xia Ya's tone became helpless: "My point is, if we can't lure in prey... then we can't starve to death either. If we can't hunt down wolves... then tonight we'll just have to roast this earth spirit and eat it instead. Hey, you've never had roasted earth spirit meat before, right? I haven't either. Heh heh!"

  As he spoke, Xia Ya gave a very malicious glance at Kechen Chong.

  “…………”

  The poor worm was frightened! Her face changed greatly, her hands and feet were numb, she bent over and started vomiting loudly. She remembered the group of earthworms washing in the river this morning, with polluted water flowing everywhere, and she vomited even more happily.

  "Haha!" Xia Ya burst out laughing, picked her up and looked at her disdainfully: "You really believe that? Hey, you dare to eat the flesh of a demon? I don't dare to!"

  He helped the poor worm sit on the ground, just about to say something, when suddenly, Xia Ya's face changed abruptly!

  He immediately fell to the ground, pressed his ear tightly against the ground, closed his eyes and listened for a while. When he raised his head, his face was more solemn than ever before, and he quickly picked up his battle axe with one hand and held a shield in the other!

  "Hoofbeats are coming from two directions, a large number! It might be those guys!!"

  Xia Ya's words were finished, and Can Kuang Chong's face suddenly turned white as paper, frightened to the point where his lips were trembling.
