"Why are there so many graves here?" Li Qingyi asked curiously.
"I guess a lot of people from the Demon Kingdom died here before," Li Xiu said as he walked toward the graveyard.
"A-Gui..." Not seeing A-Gui outside the graveyard, Li Xiu didn’t go in directly but called out twice from outside.
"Why are you here again?" In no ti, A-Gui walked out from deep within the graveyard, standing next to an outermost grave, and looked at Li Xiu with a frustrated face.
But when he saw Li Qingyi next to Li Xiu, A-Gui’s eyes lit up: "What’s this beautiful lady’s na?"
"Li Qingyi, Li Xiu’s subordinate," Li Qingyi said herself.
Hearing this, A-Gui looked at Li Xiu with a bit of jealousy and said: "You really have so skills, managing to have such a gorgeous subordinate."
Li Qingyi understood the implication of A-Gui’s words, but she only smiled and didn’t explain anything.
Li Xiu was too lazy to explain to A-Gui and directly asked, "A-Gui, has anything strange happened in the graveyard lately?"
"How do you know there’s sothing strange in the graveyard?" A-Gui asked, sowhat surprised, looking Li Xiu up and down.
"Just tell what happened," Li Xiu urged.
A-Gui glanced at Li Qingyi, and Li Xiu understood what he ant and hurriedly said, "She’s one of us, you can speak freely."
Only then did A-Gui say, "Rember the grave from which sothing ca out before?"
"What about it?" Li Xiu asked with an odd expression.
The grave A-Gui ntioned was the one from which the little Bu’Er, like an evil ghost, had climbed out the last ti.
"A few hours ago, that grave started acting up again, emitting a mysterious purple light..." A-Gui explained briefly.
After listening, Li Xiu’s expression beca stranger. The ti A-Gui ntioned was exactly when he entered the City of Love this ti, coinciding with the mont little Bu’Er died.
"It seems little Bu’Er was indeed buried in that grave, but why does the grave change when little Bu’Er from the City of Love dies? Could the life and death of little Bu’Er in the City of Love affect this place?" Li Xiu pondered to himself.
"Take us to see it," Li Xiu said as he stepped into the graveyard.
Li Qingyi followed along, and the three of them headed into the depths of the graveyard under A-Gui’s guidance.
It wasn’t long before Li Xiu saw purple light flickering in the graveyard ahead, and after bypassing a large grave in front, he saw the grave from which Bu’Er, like an evil ghost, had previously crawled out.
The grave was restored to its original state, but strangely, there were many tiny purple stars twinkling on it.
Looking closely, he found that those weren’t stars at all, but small insects like sparks, their bodies emitting a faint purple glow.
"What’s with those bugs?" Li Xiu stared at the bugs, not sensing any aura of demonic spirits on them.
"They seem to have crawled out from under the grave. When I ca here not long ago, there weren’t so many, but now there are several tis more," A-Gui mused.
Li Xiu frowned in silence at the bugs on the grave; being summoned by the Godslayer Shrine likely ant he needed to investigate what’s inside the grave.
The terrifying mory of that evil little Bu’Er remained fresh in Li Xiu’s mind, and the usual powers of a Trial Taker were ineffective against it, which was indeed troubling.
"These should be Soul Worms, right?" Li Qingyi suddenly said from beside him.
"Soul Worms, what are those?" Li Xiu and A-Gui both looked at Li Qingyi.
After thinking for a mont, Li Qingyi said, "It’s said that extrely powerful demon spirits, upon dying, their souls transform into Soul Worms and gather in the land of death."
"I’ve killed plenty of demon spirits, even those of Divine Position Level, and never seen Soul Worms," Li Xiu said.
Li Qingyi laughed, "Only so extrely powerful demon spirits can transform into Soul Worms after death. I’ve only seen it once, when my father took to a Land of Trial. There was a large grave there, filled with Soul Worms on the mound, like a burning volcano. But those Soul Worms were golden, not purple. However, they had the sa appearance. I’m not sure if these are really Soul Worms."
"Are Soul Worms dangerous?" Li Xiu asked.
"They shouldn’t be dangerous. My father once caught so Soul Worms by hand and put them in a bottle for to play with. They were quite beautiful, but after a while, the Soul Worms just vanished inside the bottle," Li Qingyi said.
"No danger then, that’s good," A-Gui felt sowhat relieved upon hearing Li Qingyi’s words, as he was worried these Soul Worms might pose a threat.
Li Xiu stared at the Soul Worms on the grave, hesitating whether to dig open the grave to see what’s inside.
As he pondered, he suddenly saw the Soul Worms on the grave rise into the air, seemingly startled.
Li Xiu and A-Gui quickly retreated. Although Li Qingyi said the Soul Worms shouldn’t be dangerous, they still couldn’t be sure if these were Soul Worms, so naturally, they didn’t dare to take any risks.
Li Qingyi also backed away, evidently not fully confident herself.
The swarm of Soul Worms flew up and astonishingly surged toward the three of them with incredible speed.
"Scatter!" Li Xiu shouted as he quickly dashed in one direction.
