On the other side of the forest, Jing Changle anxiously held Luo Yirui, whispering, "Hey, Luo Yirui, wake up!"
Luo Yirui had stopped convulsing but still kept his eyes tightly shut, clenching his teeth, his face pale and forehead sweaty, making people fearful at the sight.
Originally, Jing Changle was already quite scared in this dark forest, and seeing Luo Yirui in this state only made him more nervous.
Jing Changle sat on the ground, starting to wipe his tears. It was impressive enough for a child under six to have gone through so many terrifying experiences without breaking down, but now, feeling utterly helpless and lost, he could no longer control his emotions.
Luo Yirui’s head was pounding as if pierced by needles. He couldn’t wake up from his foggy consciousness, but the intermittent crying next to his ear involuntarily brought his thoughts back.
The crying grew clearer, and Luo Yirui barely managed to open his heavy eyelids, seeing Jing Changle sitting next to him, pouting and crying. He mustered all his strength to reach out and push him.
This took all his effort, yet Jing Changle remained unaware, leaving him feeling helpless.
When Luo Yirui reached out to push him again, Jing Changle suddenly stopped crying and looked down to see Luo Yirui weakly blinking his eyes, imdiately overjoyed.
"You’re awake! That’s great. What should we do now?" Jing Changle said.
After witnessing such amazing powers from Luo Yirui, he had unconsciously made him his guiding force.
"Try to find my mom and dad..." Luo Yirui said, each word sending a stabbing pain through his head, causing him to moan in agony.
He left a trail of ssages along the way, stubbornly believing that his father, being such a formidable person, would surely track him down, and soone as capable as his mom wouldn’t be thwarted by such an environnt.
So, they would definitely find him!
Luo Yirui even estimated that they might already be here, searching everywhere for him.
And their only hope of leaving here rested solely on his mom and dad.
Jing Changle was dumbfounded, seeing his painful expression made him panic a little. He felt lost, wondering where he could find Luo Yirui’s parents.
Not speaking anymore, Luo Yirui started to feel a bit better, relatively compared to before. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the similar surroundings, also feeling bewildered.
He couldn’t distinguish directions like east, south, west, and north to begin with, and now it was even harder to tell.
After resting a bit, Luo Yirui regained so strength, and with Jing Changle’s help, he stood up.
As soon as he stood, Luo Yirui caught a strange scent, a peculiar stench, sowhat fishy and rotten, yet he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
Luo Yirui raised his hand and pointed left and forward, Jing Changle imdiately understood and supported him over there.
There was nothing here, but Luo Yirui scrutinized carefully. He squatted down and beca dizzy, so he simply sat on the ground, resting before opening his eyes again.
What ca into view were bench-wide tracks as if sothing had crawled over them. They weren’t very obvious; if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t find anything.
The indescribable stench emanated from here, evidently left by so slly crawling insects. The odor wasn’t quick to dissipate, and with Luo Yirui’s keen sense of sll, he managed to catch it.
"Which direction did we co from?" Luo Yirui asked, enduring the headache.
Jing Changle pointed behind them, Luo Yirui understood—the insects ca crawling from the direction they had co from. The sll suggested they might be toxic, and judging by the tracks, the insects weren’t large, likely advancing in groups.
"Let’s go this way..." Luo Yirui pointed in the direction the insects were heading.
No matter what, they couldn’t go back the way they ca. The insects crawl as if with purpose; at least it felt that way. So, he thought they should head in that direction.
As for whether they’d encounter the group of insects and what to do if they did, Luo Yirui’s young mind couldn’t handle all that right now.
Jing Changle helped him up, and the two small figures slowly walked forward.
...
Sowhere in the forest, Beisitian and the others were on alert. The insects weren’t fast, but definitely not slow either, crawling toward them like swarms of ants.
In fact, when they saw those clusters, even the bravest of them couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
They were tiny multi-legged insects similar to centipedes, distinctly segnted, with densely packed, wriggling little legs.
These creatures ca in groups, each roughly the size of a washbasin, and there were about a dozen clusters in sight.
Beisitian wasn’t surprised to see these creatures, for most multi-legged insects are poisonous. If soone was keeping toxic creatures, they would certainly use originally poisonous ones as the base, saving a lot of cost and effort.
Seeing these creatures, Zou Yulu’s skin crawled, her whole body uncomfortable. She wished she could just turn and run, the farther the better. It was one thing to fight these creatures, but just seeing them felt like she’d already lost.
"Wait, there’s sothing else!" Chen Jinliang frowned, looking at the thermal detector.
The detector revealed small clusters occasionally overlapping with the long-legged insects, sotis separated. The only explanation for this was that the incoming creatures could fly!
If they could fly and were also poisonous, their combat power would increase exponentially!
Soon, the flying insects appeared in everyone’s view, and when they saw them, all were taken aback.
The appearance of these insects was identical to those found in the deceased’s stomach before they arrived, except the ones in the stomach had no wings!
Seeing the insects clearly, everyone’s expressions grew serious.
Desan widened his eyes, muttering, "What we need most now is so large-scale insecticide!"
His words prompted a thought in Beisitian, who then said, "Third Doctor, Doctor Chu, I have a talisman that can temporarily counteract these Poisonous Insects, but it can only render them unconscious. I’ll draw it for you now."
These Poisonous Insects nurtured by Mystic Doctors are different from ordinary ones. If you don’t know what they consu to grow, their toxicity and attributes, you can’t kill them.
Beisitian had encountered similar Mystic Doctors nurturing Poisonous Insects before, but she wasn’t skilled in this area. In fact, not many Mystic Doctors specialized in this.
Hearing Beisitian’s words, Chu Zhicheng was quite surprised, then looked at Beisitian admiringly.
The aning of the Spiritual Talisman and her teaching the talisman on the spot was completely different. If Beisitian wasn’t broad-minded, she was an extrely confident person.
Chu Zhicheng believed she possessed both qualities.
