Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 795 Corpse Bugs

Wen Yihuan was worried before but as he has witnessed what Gao Ge can do, he has nothing to worry about then.

Now, the so-called tomb-guarding beasts, which look rather big, have been infected by the evil Qi in this place for several centuries. When they move, the whole space seems to be shaking. However, when one of them just arrives in front of Gao Ge, it is crushed by one punch he strikes. As to the other one, its head is smashed by Gao Ge with a side kick.

Everything happens within an instant.

If the two stone beasts could speak, they would complain now, “We died so fast!”

The tomb-guarding beasts are here to deal with some tomb raiders but Gao Ge and his peers are not tomb raiders but cultivators. Handling two stone beasts is a piece of cake!

“Let’s go forward,” Gao Ge says.

Wen Yihuan heaves a sigh and says to the bearded man, “See? This is the kind of man girls love most.”

The bearded man laughs and says nothing.

He can see that Wen Yihuan is not only capable but also on good terms with Gao Ge. However, his case is different. If he makes fun of Gao Ge as Wen Yihuan does, he may anger Gao Ge.

Hence, he had better talk less and do more for the moment.

When he gets familiar with Gao Ge and also lets the latter feel his loyalty, he can get along with Gao Ge more naturally.

However, the bearded man doesn’t have any problem with that. After all, Gao Ge’s character is quite good. It was sheer torture for him to stay with Song Yang before, which was tantamount to living with a tiger. If he made any mistake, he would piss off Song Yang and get himself into big trouble. He was fine with that before but now, compared with Gao Ge, the bearded man increasingly feels that Song Yang is so bad. It is fair enough to say that Song Yang only has a temper but no ability.

The bearded man used to wonder whether he could leave Song Yang one day and take up a better post in the Shadow School. However, now, he kind of figures it out. As a saying goes, great trees are good for nothing but shade. Following Gao Ge, he doesn’t have to worry about anything then. He only needs to remember that no matter what happens, Gao Ge will deal with it.

When they enter the passage for ten minutes or so, Wen Yihuan and the bearded man have been out of breath while Gao Ge also gradually feels intangible stress. There seems to be an energy domain that rejects their approach.

“It’s evil Qi,” Wen Yihuan says through gritted teeth.

Gao Ge nods.

“Three kilometers in the east, there will be a rock pillar,” Wen Yihuan looks at Gao Ge and says, “That is the eye of the formation. Break it and the energy will be gone for good.”

“You guys wait here,” Gao Ge takes a look at Earth Dragon and says, “Protect them.”

Earth Dragon asks in a daze, “Don’t you need me to go with you?”

Gao Ge shakes his head.

Earth Dragon has to give up and then tells Gao Ge to be careful.

Seeing Gao Ge leave, Earth Dragon sits between the bearded man and Wen Yihuan.

“I’m quite surprised. Have you ever been here? You are rather familiar with this place!” Earth Dragon taps Wen Yihuan on the shoulder and also lights up a cigarette.

Wen Yihuan takes the cigarette pack from Earth Dragon, lights up a cigarette for himself and coughs, saying, “Formation sounds complicated but it is actually not as complex as you imagine. It is like a formula. Just follow the formula and you will always find some clues. As long you find a clue, you can keep reasoning and then you will find the answer. Honestly, I’ve learned about this from the books of the Ghost Sect. Sometimes, I have to admire the people of the Ghost Sect. They are really knowledgeable. It is a pity that they apply their knowledge to the wrong things. Otherwise, they might be able to form a cultivation school of the blessed spots.”

Earth Dragon hears that and nods lightly, saying with a smile, “So, it is a double-edged sword. It is a matter of choice. Unfortunately, the Ghost Sect has made the wrong choice.”

“You can’t say that they made the wrong choice,” Wen Yihuan shakes his head and asks, “The people of the Ghost Sect don’t need to cultivate arduously. All they need to do is refine some ghosts to put them into an invincible position. It is lucrative indeed for other cultivators. You cannot deny that, can you?”

Earth Dragon is instantly speechless.

All the time, he dislikes the Ghost Sect but admittedly, Wen Yihuan is telling the truth.

As a cultivator, if he knew about this cultivation method before joining the Dragon Court, he would probably choose to join the Ghost Sect.

Well, most people think alike. They want to harvest without making effort, especially in terms of cultivation. If there is a shortcut, why not take it?

Suddenly, Wen Yihuan hears some rustling sounds.

Instantly, he jumps up from the ground.

“Oh no.”

“What’s wrong?” Actually, Earth Dragon and the bearded man also hear the noise but they don’t know what is going on.

“Something is crawling towards us. It should be...corpse bugs.” Wen Yihuan breaks out in a cold sweat, “Oh sh*t! I’ve miscalculated. I didn’t expect that there should be such things here. Oh right, there are so many bodies buried in this place. It is not surprising to see corpse bugs here but they are really not easy to handle...”

Earth Dragon can’t be bothered to talk to Wen Yihuan then.

Now, he also senses that danger is around the corner.

Shortly, massive bugs are in sight, which look like cockroaches with their eyes sparkling with red light. Besides, they all smell like rotten corpses. The stinking smell is so suffocating.

Earth Dragon quickly rushes forward and strikes a kick. Instantly, countless stones smash forward and kill plenty of corpse bugs. However, there are a terrifying great number of corpse bugs. They swarm towards Earth Dragon and the others like a tide.

Earth Dragon has no other choice but to fight and retreat with Wen Yihuan and the bearded man.

“What are these things afraid of?” Amidst attacking the corpse bugs in front, Earth Dragon asks.

“They are afraid that our flesh doesn’t taste good?” Wen Yihuan ventures to say.

Earth Dragon is lost for words.

“Oh right, fire! They are afraid of fire!” An idea occurs to Wen Yihuan and then he hastens to tell Earth Dragon about it and meanwhile puts on his lighter.

“Does it work?” The bearded man is so speechless. Even a sneeze can put out such a small fire easily!
