My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1432 - 1352: Insect King (Part 2)

The people from the Yin Ghost Sect were all huddled around Yang Buxiu, seeking a sliver of comfort.

However, every few steps, something would still dart out from the shadows and drag someone away.

"Vice Sect Master Yang, what exactly are those things?"

"Yeah, I don’t want to die! How do those things appear and disappear like that? We’ve lost several brothers already!"

The members of the Yin Ghost Sect were too afraid to continue forward.

Yang Buxiu had a peculiar expression on his face: "Don’t be afraid, everyone, don’t be afraid. Isn’t Senior Ye here? With Senior Ye, we’ll be fine."

Ye Guichen smirked, "I had you lead the way, not to babysit you. Furthermore, Yang Buxiu, let me tell you this—if you can’t lead us on the right path, I won’t hesitate to kill you."

With that, Ye Guichen brandished the Immortal Slayer Sword.

"Whiz!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of something shooting forth.

Ye Guichen sensed something quickly approaching from behind, like lightning.

Without having to guess, Ye Guichen knew it was the worm-like creatures trying to ambush him.

Prepared, Ye Guichen swung the Immortal Slayer Sword backward.

Swish!

He sliced off a piece.

The creature screamed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Ye Guichen turned back, he saw a segment of about one meter in length, resembling a giant worm, twisting on the ground.

One end had been cleanly cut, clearly from Ye Guichen’s previous strike.

However, the creature didn’t die; instead, it twisted as its body stretched longer on the ground.

Soon, it grew into a two-meter long form.

Then, like a snake, it coiled up, opening its mouth like a blooming chrysanthemum, and from its center, a terrifying tongue shot towards Ye Guichen.

"It can’t be killed!"

Seeing the creature regenerate after being cut, Ye Guichen was surprised.

The creature was fast but not powerful, lacking Spiritual Sense, and if it came down to a fight, it probably couldn’t even beat the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf.

Ye Guichen was unrestrained, repeatedly swinging the Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand.

Swish, swish, swish!

Within several strikes, the creature was sliced into several segments.

Each segment was over ten centimeters long, resembling cylindrical shapes.

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Each of the severed pieces began squirming, stretching out, soon forming smaller creatures.

Everyone witnessing this felt their hair stand on end.

"What are these things? They’re impossible to kill!"

"Vice Sect Master Yang, what should we do?"

The people from the Yin Ghost Sect still saw Yang Buxiu as their reliance.

After all, they were in the same boat.

But instead of responding to their horror, Yang Buxiu slightly smirked, showing no intention to help. Suddenly, he pulled a ping-pong ball-sized sphere from his pocket.

"Ha-ha, let it out!"

He laughed wildly, tossing the sphere into one of the caves.

With a booming explosion, a furious roar echoed from within the cave.

The sound was sharp, like metal scraping glass, causing discomfort.

Screams and roars erupted all around.

The worm-like creatures, whose origins were unknown, poured out, encircling Ye Guichen and the people from the Yin Ghost Sect.

Terrified, the Yin Ghost Sect members trembled.

But they could only muster the strength to resist.

Ye Guichen hadn’t anticipated so many creatures; a glance revealed likely more than a hundred.

Some were as thick as a person’s waist, others as thick as an ordinary person’s arm.

Once they emerged, they opened their mouths, ready to devour the living.

Soon, many from the Yin Ghost Sect were gnawed to death or seriously wounded, leaving only two or three people struggling.

Initially, Ye Guichen was also helpless against these creatures, forced to continually kill them with his sword.

Yet, the result was far from ideal.

Each strike would split the monsters into two.

The more he killed, the more they multiplied.

"Mr. Ye, killing them this way is useless," Gui Tuo realized something was off and shouted nervously, "It’s endless!"

Yan Fang guarded closely by Ye Guichen’s side, "If I’m correct, these must be Yin bugs that feed on Yin energy, ordinary methods can’t kill them."

"Yin bugs?" Ye Guichen hadn’t expected Yan Fang to recognize these creatures, "Do you know any way to kill them?"

"This..." Although Yan Fang was a soul body, his power had increased significantly under the nourishment of Jiuyou Tower, different from ordinary soul bodies, with much enhanced combat ability.

He protected Ye Guichen while brandishing his weapon, slaying several of the so-called Yin bugs.

Moreover, Little Black and Gui Tuo weren’t idle.

Little Black ignored much, swallowing the Yin bugs, but even after consuming them, the bugs seemed indestructible, causing a sharp pain in his belly and forcing him to spit them out.

Little Black hesitantly eyed the bugs, seemingly puzzled.

Yan Fang continued slaying them, his mind racing for a solution, but before he recalled how to deal with the bugs, the cave where Yang Buxiu had thrown the sphere was violently burst open.

A huge Yin bug, about two meters in diameter, crawled out.

Its mouth was vast, seemingly able to swallow an elephant.

"Insect King! That’s the Insect King!" Yan Fang’s voice shifted with terror upon seeing the massive Yin bug, "There’s actually an Insect King here. It’s said that the Insect King can consume both living beings and Yin Souls, and its power rivals the Golden Core Peak. We must flee!"

The appearance of the Insect King terrified the remaining Yin Ghost Sect members, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Moreover, the Yin bugs that were previously intimidating dispersed to the sides, bowed their heads, seemingly saluting the Insect King.

Catching this chance, Ye Guichen glanced towards Yang Buxiu’s prior location.

During the chaos, Yang Buxiu had vanished.

It seemed he had intentionally led them here.

"Hiss hiss screech!"

The Insect King opened its mouth, emitting a dreadful sound, before its massive tongue surged out, wrapping around the Yin Ghost Sect members.

Before they could react, the Insect King retracted its tongue.

The members were pulled into its belly, unable to resist.

The Insect King’s gaze then fell upon Ye Guichen and Gui Tuo.

Now, Ye Guichen could see the Insect King clearly.

Its eyes were almost completely degenerated, having only two nail-sized spots where the eyes should be.

The eyes seemed ineffective.

It had two snail-like antennae on its head.

The long antennae swung like antennas, then quickly extended its tongue towards Ye Guichen.

The tongue moved at incredible speed, even Ye Guichen couldn’t track it.

Ye Guichen attempted to slash the tongue with his sword, but before he could, the tongue had already effortlessly wrapped around his waist.

Swish!

It pulled him in lightly.

Before Ye Guichen knew what was happening, he found himself in a slimy environment.

Damn, did I get swallowed?

Ye Guichen felt nauseous; the surrounding slime carried strong corrosive properties, starting to erode his skin.

Fortunately, Ye Guichen’s skin and flesh were unique.

Though it caused a burning sting, it couldn’t significantly harm him for the moment.

Yet, over time, even Ye Guichen’s resilient body might get corroded.
