Eternal Sword

Chapter 452: Tide of Insects and Ants
Yiyintang is located in a primeval forest in Nanyang County, Yuezhou, and is quite remote.

Over the years, this area has not been affected by any war. It is lush with trees and has a variety of vegetation and herbs that can be picked at any time for use in pharmaceutical research.

There are also some rare treasures such as aged ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts can be seen everywhere.

Therefore, most of the people who can come to Yiyintang to treat illnesses and injuries are people from the martial arts world.

Even hunters dare not go deep into this forest.

After Chen Tang and A Li entered Yuezhou, they arrived at Nanyang County within a day.

It was almost dusk when we entered the city. The sky was covered with dark clouds, making it even darker and gloomier. Thunder rumbled and it looked like a rainstorm was about to come.

There is no need to rush to go to Yiyintang.

The two planned to find an inn to stay in Nanyang City first and talk about it tomorrow.

After dinner, I returned to the room. As expected, it was raining heavily outside. Lightning flashed across the night sky, making the room dim and bright.

Chen Tang and the other person turned off the lights and went to sleep in their clothes.

In the middle of the night, Chen Tang moved his ears and sensed something unusual.

Even in his sleep, he would still maintain the breathing method of "Kun Xi Gong" to continuously strengthen his internal organs, and he was also extremely sensitive to the outside world.

He would be the first to notice any slight disturbance.

Chen Tang didn't rush to get up.

He did not sense any murderous intent or hostility.

There was a rustling sound coming from the surroundings and the ground, as if something was crawling quickly.

Chen Tang's eyes were bright and he could see clearly in the darkness. On the wall, there was a gecko as long as a palm swimming rapidly. It soon disappeared over the roof and ran out from the gap between the bricks and tiles.

He sat up and looked down.

On the ground, ants and spiders were crawling rapidly out of nowhere.

These insects and ants seemed to have suddenly woken up, and they were not afraid of people. They behaved strangely, and some of them climbed directly onto Chen Tang's bed.

However, these insects and ants seemed to sense some kind of aura from Chen Tang. They circled around him and ran through the gap in the window.

"earthquake?"

Chen Tang looked puzzled when he saw this scene.

There was a slight sound of wind nearby.

Chen Tang glanced sideways and couldn't help but laugh.

Ali was also awakened by the sudden noise, but her face looked pale at the moment. In order to avoid the insects and ants on the ground, she jumped onto the beam.

But it didn't stay on the beam for a moment before it seemed to be frightened by something and fell to the ground again. It looked a little panicked and kept extending its dagger to kill the insects and ants on the ground.

But there were so many insects and ants that it was impossible to kill them all.

This was the first time that Chen Tang saw fear in Ali's eyes.

I didn't expect that the Dongyi tribe, which is so powerful, is actually afraid of these little bugs.

Haha!

Chen Tang laughed secretly in his heart.

Ali was a little panicked and looked around for a place to stay. Finally, after looking around, he glanced at Chen Tang and his eyes lit up.

His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he stood beside Chen Tang.

Oddly enough, when Chen Tang was standing on the ground, there wasn't even a single insect or ant within ten feet of him.

It seemed as if these insects and ants were consciously avoiding him.

"Ah!"

"What the hell!"

"Fuck me!"

In the middle of the night, there were sudden bursts of screams and shouts in the inn. Some people were cursing, some were shouting, and some even broke out of the door, screaming.

It seems that the same situation occurred in other rooms.

Ali looked at the insects and ants that were gradually running away around him with lingering fear, his little face was pale, and he was still a little frightened.

But she was even more curious, so she tilted her head slightly and gestured to Chen Tang, asking what was going on.

"I am not sure as well."

Chen Tang shook his head.

"Boss, please stop running this inn. There are so many insects and ants!" "It's infested with insects. It's disgusting!"

"I bit it until it bled!"

Many guests staying at the hotel were shouting loudly at the door, venting their anger.

Anyone who is woken up in the middle of the night and sees this scene will be scared to death.

Not to mention, many people have been bitten badly by these insects and ants.

"Dear guests, I'm so sorry, I've never encountered such a situation before."

From the sound of it, the innkeeper was about to cry.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I won't charge you a penny for tonight's hotel stay. Tomorrow, I will treat you all to a good meal with good wine and food to calm your nerves."

"That won't do. You have to pay for it!"

"I can't live here anymore, what a crappy shop!"

"If it wasn't raining heavily outside, we would have retreated too."

There was a great deal of noise in the inn.

Chen Tang first opened the window and took a look, seeming to be thinking about something.

Then he opened the door and looked downstairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, the innkeeper kept bowing and saluting to the people around him, saying, "Dear guests, these insects and ants seem to be frightened and have almost run away. There should be nothing to worry about. Please rest assured."

"Is he the one who's causing trouble?"

Ali made a gesture and looked in the direction of the innkeeper with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

She has been afraid of insects and ants since she was a child.

Even if I became a hermit, I still retained my fear of insects and ants.

However, when I was doing my usual missions and encountered three or five of them, it was no big deal. I just overcame my fear and killed them easily.

She was really scared when so many people ran out at once!

Although all the insects and ants in the room had already run away, she still felt her scalp tingling and goose bumps all over her body when she recalled it.

If the innkeeper is the culprit, she will never let him go!

"It doesn't look like it."

Chen Tang shook his head and said softly, "I just took a look outside. Not only in this inn, but also in other places, countless insects and ants emerged and surged towards the outside of the city."

At this point, Chen Tang's heart moved, as if he had thought of something. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's go out and take a look."

They went back to the house, picked up their luggage, and went downstairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, many customers were still surrounding the boss and pestering him.

"Boss, do you have a straw raincoat or a bamboo hat?"

Chen Tang pushed aside the crowd and asked.

"what?"

The innkeeper was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chen Tang and the others were about to check out and leave, and quickly said, "Yes, yes."

"Give me two."

The innkeeper quickly told his waiter to go to the backyard to get it.

Not long after, the waiter came with two straw raincoats and hats and handed them to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang took it and threw a tael of silver to the boss.

"I don't dare to ask for that."

The innkeeper wanted to refuse, but Chen Tang ignored him, put on his straw raincoat and hat, and left the inn.

There were lightning and thunder outside, and the heavy rain had been falling for half the night, with no sign of stopping.

Ali came out with a straw hat and raincoat in his hands, but he didn't put them on.

She is a hermit.

Although this kind of clothing can keep out the rain, it can affect her movements.

Getting caught in the rain is the most normal training for a hermit.

She was used to it.

Chen Tang ignored all that and helped Ali put on her straw raincoat and hat, then took her to walk towards the south of the city in the rain.
