Chapter 65: Poisonous Insect Scroll

  Ji Youfei grasped the spirit symbol, raised his hand and pointed with his finger. A spark of fire burst forth from his fingertip, and with a "whoosh" sound, the spirit symbol suddenly ignited. The yellow paper burned up in mid-air, emitting puffs of smoke. As it floated in the air, it transformed into an enormous ghostly face, its expression twisted and ferocious.

  Innumerable insects saw this ghost face and retreated in extreme fear.

  Smoke enveloped the two, and the thick mountain wall in front of them seemed to be squeezed by some force, actually moving inward on its own, then splitting apart to both sides. And the two people were strangely embedded inside the stone wall. After a moment, the stone wall slowly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

  Mo Zi Chen only felt dizzy and disoriented, his mind had suffered a strong impact, suddenly it was as if he had stepped into thin air, and he fell from mid-air to the ground. He felt his whole body ache with muscle and bone pain, stretched out his hand to grab Ji You Fei's hand, and only then managed to get up. Feeling like there was something on him, he brushed it off with a swing of his arm, and asked: "Where are we?"

  They are now, as if still in a dense web-like tunnel, but behind them is a thick stone wall, just like they have cast a spell to pass through the mountain.

  Mo Zi Chen got up with his hand on his forehead, still feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented, as if he had jumped down from a high mountain, completely weightless.

  Ji Youfei looked a bit better, "We should have triggered some kind of transmission array and were transmitted here. The symbol you drew is the key to activating the transmission array."

  Mo Zi Chen's eyes widened in shock and she stuttered: "If it were Yu Wei's painting, that would be one thing, but I only drew a picture."

  Ji Youfei said, "That's the heavenly spirit energy responding to the celestial pivot, naturally forming a symbol that resonates with the array method here, becoming a triggering mechanism. Hmm, what is this thing?"

  He pointed to Mo Zi Chen's feet, where there were several small packages. Mo Zi Chen picked them up and looked at them, only then remembering, "These are the things I grabbed when I escaped from that demonic cave, I clearly put them in my storage space, how did they fall out?"

  Mo Zi Chen, as a disciple of the Jiuhua Xianzong, had an item storage artifact on him, which wasn't unusual. Ji You Fei didn't think it was strange either. "Perhaps this transmission array also has spatial-type artifacts suppressing it, and the two repel each other, causing your things to be sucked out."

  Mo Zi Chen was startled and quickly went to take a look. Fortunately, the water pool was still calm, and Yu Xie was still soaking in it.

  The package fell to the ground and scattered everywhere. Mo Zi Chen and Ji You Fei went to pick it up together, saying: "I hastily grabbed it and left, didn't even notice what was inside..."

  She happened to pick up two packages, which were small bottles and wooden boxes. Inside should be Dan Wan and Lian Dan materials. Ji Youfei smiled: "I didn't expect this demon path would also know the art of alchemy."

  Alchemy is a rare skill in this immortal realm, even among the famous sects and schools. Ordinary cultivators rarely have it. Mo Zixun smiled: "He said he was a descendant of Luo Zu, maybe it's a family heirloom, who knows?" The two of them chatted and picked up those things, they were all very simple items, Ji Youfei didn't think much of them, Mo Zixun put them back in his sleeves again.

  Another package, which contained several small books. Mo Zi Chen opened one of them and immediately changed her expression. What was written on it was actually a detailed record of how to use the blood sacrifice method to stimulate a person's vital energy, and then absorb it all, causing that person to die from exhaustion of their blood vessels. She threw it at Ji You Fei: "Something like this is better off destroyed!"

  Ji Youfei swung the Northern Dipper Sword and shredded the small booklet into powder. Mo Zichen threw away the remaining two or three books, "None of them are worth keeping!"

  Ji You flew his eyes sharp and found that the one at the very bottom seemed different from the others. He picked it out, "This one seems to be different!"

  Mo Zi Chen grabbed it and flipped through it, saying: "Huh, this seems to be about spiritual insects and herbs."

  This pale yellow booklet is divided into two halves. The first half depicts various spiritual grasses, their habits, and explanations of how to use them as medicine, along with some prescriptions attached. The second half is even more detailed, describing all sorts of insects. Mo Zi Chen flipped through it, and nine out of ten she had never seen before. She quickly flipped to a page and said, "Huh, isn't this the insect we saw just now?"

  Ji Youfei leaned in, reading aloud: "Golden thread ant, as large as a cockroach, with a pungent odor, spraying toxic liquid can harm people...... Hmm, this is described very detailed."

  Mo Zi Chen said, "There's also a way to drive them away. This time we won't be bothered by those poisonous insects. Otherwise, if the talismans are all burned, and those bugs come again, we really can't cope."

  Ji Youfei handed her the booklet, "You'd better take this thing, even if it's just to broaden your horizons. Who knows when it might come in handy?"

  Mo Zi Chen took it over, put it in his arms, "Now where should we go?"

  Ji Youfei looked up and said, "Although the tunnels here are dense, they seem to all lead to the same place. Let's just keep moving forward in the direction we were going earlier." After speaking, he walked ahead, with Mo Zichen following behind him, and the two of them continued on their way.

  It wasn't clear how much time had passed when Ji Youfei suddenly stopped in his tracks and whispered, "Be careful, there's someone up ahead!"

  Mo Zi Chen tilted her head to listen carefully, and indeed, some faint noise came from afar, seemingly more than one person.

  She pressed her ear against the mountain wall, trying not to think about the bugs that had crawled over it, and faintly heard a sinister laugh coming from the other side: "You little brat, turning around in circles, finally fell into Lord Dao's hands again. This time you won't be able to run!"

  A loud "slap" sound was followed by a muffled hum of extreme pain, which was then forcibly suppressed. Mo Zichen turned around and winked at Ji Youfei, indicating: "That's my friend!"

  She had already figured it out, the one speaking was Yao Dao Luo Su You, and the one being beaten should be Ren Geng Xin. He barely escaped the tiger's mouth, yet he returned to the wolf's den. But how did Luo Su You find this place?

  Judging from the sound, they should be separated by a short distance, but it is still unknown how many layers of tunnels are in between.

  Another person immediately chimed in with a smile: "Master is wise and powerful, able to catch this little guy, it's also his good luck."

  The person speaking was naturally Lu Peng.

  Russell snorted coldly: "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you've joined my sect. You must regard me as your master, like a parent. Don't bring those Jianghu tricks here. Just now, you actually thought of abandoning me? If I didn't have important business at hand, I would have killed you with the Five Poisons Bite long ago!"
