Chapter 1048: Chapter 658: The Human Heart
No one can predict whether there are still heart-eating worms or other dangerous creatures ahead. If we continue, safely reaching Chi You’s weapon is going to be a huge issue.
“Whizz!” Just as Liu Hun was pondering over this matter, suddenly, his palm moved, directly grabbing the dagger and slicing a few tis into the air.
The next mont, several corpses of heart-eating worms slowly fell from the sky.
Even though Liu Hun killed a few heart-eating worms, he still felt an unusual sensation coming from his mouth and nose.
Eventually, that unusual sensation swiftly moved to where the heart is, and sensing this change, Liu Hun’s eyes beca filled with terror.
He hadn’t expected that these heart-eating worms hadn’t all left, as if they were waiting for them.
But now, the heart-eating worms had entered his body, and he feared that in just an instant, these worms would arrive completely at his heart and devour it whole.
Thinking of this result, Liu Hun’s complexion beca extrely pale.
“Alright, now whoever wants to leave can leave on their own. If you’re willing to proceed, then it depends on each person’s skills and luck.” At this ti, Qin Tao saw the group silent and couldn’t help but speak.
Just as his words fell, the corner of his eye caught the scene of Liu Hun swinging his dagger earlier.
Seeing this, Qin Tao’s expression changed drastically, and without saying more to the others, he directly dove toward the ground.
Because Wu Dao had just been arguing with Qin Tao, he was the closest. Seeing Qin Tao’s reaction, Wu Dao also reacted quickly and followed Qin Tao down to the ground.
But the others were not so lucky. In an instant, so heart-eating worms drilled into the sensory organs of the remaining people, then entered their bodies, ultimately attacking their hearts.
The passage was in chaos, and no one had the mind to care about others, and naturally, Liu Hun was no exception.
The mont he felt those heart-eating worms reach his heart, his heart suddenly began to thump violently.
Just as Liu Hun thought he was completely finished, right when these heart-eating worms reached his heart and opened their mouths for a bite, in an instant, their bodies exploded, turning into a mist of blood before dissipating within Liu Hun.
Facing this scene, Liu Hun did not notice. Although the bodies of these worms exploded, before dying, they still managed to bite Liu Hun.
In this way, for nearly several minutes, Liu Hun’s heart endured this painful tornt, as being bitten on the heart is no trivial matter.
About five minutes later, the area finally gradually quieted down, with Liu Hun supporting himself against the wall in front of him, looking pale and weak.
“I didn’t expect the power of the pendant to be so strong, not only improving my body, bloodline, and strength, but even these heart-eating worms couldn’t succeed…” At this mont, Liu Hun understood why he hadn’t died yet.
Even so, he was still extrely weak with little combat ability, and his body would take so ti to recover.
Turning his head, he glanced behind him and saw the ground littered with bodies, fewer than twenty or thirty people still alive.
Originally around seventy or eighty people ca in, but in a short ti, it dwindled to twenty or thirty, a terrifying rate of death.
“Liu, are you alright?” Wu Dao got up from the ground, looking at the pale-faced Liu Hun with concern.
“I’m alright, thankfully my body is sowhat unique, otherwise, I would have really died at the mouths of these worms this ti…” Liu Hun chuckled bitterly, not dwelling much, and directly explained to Wu Dao.
Among them, Wu Dao could be counted as one of the more unfortunate ones. Although he stayed alive, most of his subordinates were dead.
“You survived even after the worms entered your body…” At this mont, Qin Tao slowly stood up from the ground, half-narrowing his eyes while looking at Liu Hun and said in a deep voice.
“Just a bit luckier than others, that’s all.” Liu Hun shook his head and said slowly.
This ti, his losses were also extrely large. At this rate, it would be difficult for him to seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice and Xuan Fire next, let alone compete for Chi You’s weapon.
“Since your body is sowhat special, why don’t you lead the way up front then? After all, our bodies aren’t as unique as yours.” At this mont, soone suddenly spoke up to Liu Hun.
As soon as these words fell, Wu Dao angrily stared at the person and scolded, “Can’t you see that Brother Liu is extrely weak right now? Although his physique is unique, why should he lead the way?”
“Wu Dao, everyone here ca risking their lives, and so many have died for that thing. Now that we’ve co this far, no one wants to give up. Since Mr. Liu’s body is special, it seems only natural for him to lead. After all, if any of us were to lead, we’d likely et a grim fate ourselves. If we encounter those heart-eating worms again, we might all die here.” Qin Tao pondered for a mont before speaking to Liu Hun and Wu Dao.
As soon as Qin Tao finished speaking, others started to agree, seeing this, Wu Dao was full of anger.
He hadn’t expected these people to be so shaless. Since they all ca in together, why should Liu Hun be the one to lead? This was extrely unfair.
Just as Wu Dao was about to lose his temper, Qin Tao looked at him coldly and continued, “Since ancient tis, the minority obeys the majority, and I think you know this very well.”
“Damn it, Qin Tao, isn’t this a bit shaless? You were the one who wanted to show off and lead at the front in the first place. Now that there’s danger, you want to escape and pass the burden to Brother Liu!” Wu Dao couldn’t hold it any longer and directly cursed at Qin Tao.
Faced with Wu Dao’s outburst, Qin Tao ignored him and instead looked at Liu Hun, waiting for his response.
Liu Hun glanced around at the entire scene. On his side, there were only Wu Dao, the Poison Queen, and Old Bai left. As for the Ghost Doctor Clan, under the attack of the heart-eating worms, they had also suffered severe losses, with only the Clan Leader and a few others remaining.
Seeing the Clan Leader about to speak up for him, Liu Hun took a deep breath, stopped Wu Dao, and smiled slightly. Then, he looked at Qin Tao and the others and said, “Fine, I’ll lead the way next.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liu.” Qin Tao, seeing Liu Hun agreed, seed unsurprised and slowly said to Liu Hun.
After speaking, Liu Hun turned around and continued to walk forward. The two cyborgs still led at the front, followed closely by Liu Hun, then the Poison Queen and Wu Dao, with Old Bai among them, and finally the rest of the people.
Moreover, this ti everyone was wiser; they deliberately kept a long distance from Liu Hun and the others to ensure they could quickly retreat should anything unexpected happen later.
“I say, Brother Liu, why did you agree to that brat Qin Tao just now? Why should you lead?” After walking so distance, Wu Dao still asked Liu Hun indignantly.
“It’s not that I wanted to agree; do you think I have a choice right now? They have an absolute nurical advantage, and knowing there are dangers ahead, no one wants to take the lead. So, the responsibility falls on .” Liu Hun took a deep breath, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
Ultimately, it’s still because his strength isn’t enough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be forced into such a situation by Qin Tao.
“You could have refused!” Wu Dao still wasn’t willing to give up and said to Liu Hun.
Seeing Wu Dao’s indignant face, Liu Hun smiled slightly and then said, “I can’t refuse; otherwise, no one would agree. That’s human nature. In this world, no matter when, the most dangerous thing is the human heart, not anything else. Even if I don’t agree, they will eventually force to. So, what aning is there?”
“Damn it, Qin Tao and his people are really scum. When we get back, I definitely won’t let them go!” Wu Dao finally understood Liu Hun’s predicant.
Liu Hun had no choice, so he straightforwardly agreed to Qin Tao. But to Wu Dao, it was really suffocating; he couldn’t endure such oppression.
“Don’t worry, those who play mind gas with never have a good end!” Liu Hun shook his head at Wu Dao, with a cold glint in his eyes.
Seeing that chilling light in Liu Hun’s eyes, Wu Dao, Old Bai, and the Poison Queen couldn’t help but shiver.
Although they hadn’t seen Liu Hun’s thods, Wu Dao and the Poison Queen had spent so ti with Liu Hun and knew his tactics well.
“Suddenly, at this mont, I feel a bit sorry for them. Getting on the bad side of soone like you is their misfortune.” Wu Dao suddenly smiled a bit smugly at Liu Hun and said, “Luckily, I’m not your enemy; otherwise, with my intelligence, I wouldn’t even know how I’d be played to death by you.”
“Enough of the flattery; you’re from a big family, yet you’re flattering a young junior. If word gets out, people would laugh at you.” Liu Hun rolled his eyes and responded to Wu Dao with mild annoyance.
