Chapter 1866: Chapter 1866: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow
The little kid’s belly was swollen, with veins crisscrossing on the surface, occasionally twitching as the Gu insects inside were likely moving.
Little Tiger was stunned, saying: “How can there be such vile people in this world, treating such a cute little kid as a nourishing host for the Gu insects, that’s really damaging one’s karma.”
Xiao Taohong: “You don’t understand the human world. Just like us back then, we were all so beautiful and cute, but that damned Old Man Mo killed all of our family.”
Little Tiger had heard Xiao Taohong’s story before, and feeling heartbroken, gently hugged her shoulder and comforted her: “That old man truly deserved it. If he hadn’t died, I would have torn him apart.”
Recalling the tragic death from the previous life, Xiao Taohong’s eyes turned blood-red and she said: “But he didn’t die easily. We sisters tortured him for over a decade, made him restless at night, crushed under a thousand pounds during the day, even bent his back. This is what happens to evildoers.”
Little Tiger: “What you did was right; evildoers should die.”
Xiao Taohong: “But pity this little kid, tornted by so many Gu insects, can’t speak, unable to move. Look at him, his eyes filled with tears, yet he can’t express how aggrieved he is. It’s truly tragic.”
Xuexue said to them: “During this ti, let’s keep the little kid in the space and have them look after him for a while.”
Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger agreed without hesitation.
Little Tiger wanted to reach into the little kid’s mouth to grab the Gu insects, but after catching one, the other insects cleverly retreated into the throat, occasionally peeking out a head to observe…
Long Rui and Xuexue were startled by this, as those insects indeed had Spirit Roots, knowing to hide when danger was near.
Xuexue exclaid: “My goodness! These insects actually know how to dodge.”
Long Rui said: “Looks like these insects already have spiritual roots.”
“It seems Zhao Yin really has so skills.”
“If we encounter him, we must handle with caution, sa with Celestial Master Zhang, they are both trusted by The Emperor.”
“Well! I understand.”
Xuexue was particularly wary of Celestial Master Zhang, perhaps because she was with Xiao Taohong, feeling guilty, always afraid of being seen through by him.
At this mont, Little Tiger also shouted: “Ah! Why’s this insect dead, I didn’t even pinch it hard.”
Everyone turned to look, the Gu insect in Little Tiger’s hand was already lifeless, lying motionlessly in his palm.
Xuexue looked at it and asked: “What happened?”
Little Tiger, staring at the dead insect in his hand, expressed confusion about the situation: “I don’t know.”
Xuexue: “How… how did it die?”
Little Tiger echoed: “Yeah! How did it die?”
Legend has it that the Gu insect’s life is robust, but how could it be so fragile now?
Long Rui, pensive, said: “Probably because they are larvae, not yet mature, so they died after leaving the little kid’s body.”
Xuexue said doubtfully: “Is that so?”
Long Rui: “I’ve heard this before, and indeed it seems to be the case, only this ti the nourishing host is the little kid, likely similar.”
Xuexue: “Big Bull, you have many talented individuals and extraordinary people under your command, ask them to co up with a way to save these little kids, they are truly pitiful.”
They were just born not long ago and haven’t experienced the beauty of this world before Zhao Yin captured them to be nourishing hosts for the Gu insects, truly too pitiful.
