Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 32 Invasion Like Fire
"What's it called?" Lian Gouqie asked Wei Xi desperately.

"Maybe his death is imminent." Wei Xi held down Ling Yin, whose hair was standing on end.

"You still say that!" Lian Gou's despair was about to overflow, and the silk cocoon on which the three people stood trembled.

Wei Xi roughly soothed Ling Yin, "Maybe something got out."

"Are you talking about the things inside the silk cocoons?" Qin Feng looked around at the silk cocoons, hoping and not wanting to find the source of the sound.

"Hurry up and climb." Wei Xi inserted the dagger into the silk cocoon above his head. Some liquid dripped out of it, but Wei Xi didn't care. "There are only a few floors left."

Wei Xi took the lead, and Qin Feng signaled Lian Gouqie to follow so that she could cover their rear.

From a distance, the three people looked like little ants crawling on an invisible silk thread, crawling in the direction of the light.

For the first time, Lian Gouqi hated himself for not being deaf. He could hear clearly the sounds of crawling beneath their feet and to their left and right.

But Wei Xi above him turned a deaf ear, and Qin Feng under his feet did not slow down. The hook between the two of them could only force himself to continue climbing up.

The crawling sound was getting closer and closer. Wei Xi, who was crawling in front, could hear it clearly and could vaguely hear a slippery sound.

Wei Xi was now certain that the thing crawling over was something from the silk pupa. She took a look above her head and saw that there seemed to be three layers.

"Wei Xi! There's something down there too!"

Hearing Qin Feng's voice, Wei Xi subconsciously looked down. Qin Feng's lantern was still stuck on his belt, dangling precariously. Wei Xi used the shaky light to see what was below.

Those things were emerald green all over, with rust-colored liquid hanging on them. They had limbs and a torso. There was only a round thing on the torso, with no facial features. Something was wriggling under the skin, all over the body.

The human-shaped thing had stiff limbs but flexible movements. In just a short while, it was almost reaching Qin Feng's ankle.

Qin Feng saw that Wei Xi had a strange expression on his face, and when he looked down, he discovered that the thing that looked like a large insect nest was about to touch his feet.

"That's disgusting!" Qin Feng said, and then she kicked it. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and although this kick wasn't as lethal as on flat ground, it was still enough to inflict a heavy blow on the thing below.

"Move your ass!" Qin Feng yelled at Lian Gouyue, "Don't fucking block the way!"

Even Gou Xie had something to say, saying that he had tried his best to climb, but that was the extent of his strength.

Lian Gouqie, who was scolded, looked down with aggrieved look. He forgave Qin Feng because Qin Feng kicked one down and there were still several below, and Qin Feng had to kick one every time he crawled down.

Unfortunately, he is also a clay Buddha crossing the river and can't save himself.

Because those green, possibly mobile insect nests were multiplying at an incredible rate, not only was Qin Feng, who was guarding the rear, threatened, but even Lian Gouyu, who was caught in the middle, could see the monsters crawling towards him from both sides.

The only hope now is that there won’t be any more green monsters above.

Wei Xi looked down from time to time, and she also found that the silk cocoons near them were breaking open one after another. No matter whether there were snakes, goats or people who fell in for some reason, what came out of the silk cocoons were human-shaped green monsters, and they did not look like good things.

"There are more and more of these things," Wei Xi forced Lingyin to shout out her words, "It seems we are heading in the right direction."

When she said this, the two people below realized that when they were wandering around below, they had never seen these things come out. How come when they climbed up, these things came out one after another like wolves smelling blood?
Since the road is right, just keep walking on the right path.

Just when there were only two layers of silk pupae left, Wei Xi suddenly heard that the silk pupae above his head seemed to be showing signs of exploding.

Wei Xi stopped, and before Gou Yu and Qin Feng could react, they saw Wei Xi insert the dagger into the silk cocoon on his head, and then stuffed the lit fire stick into the silk cocoon that was about to explode.

"You!" Lian Gou looked at the green-skinned monsters that surrounded him and really had no idea what Wei Xi was doing.

Qin Feng didn't care about the timid Lian Gou Xie. He used Lian Gou Xie as a stepping stone and climbed to Wei Xi's side by grabbing Lian Gou Xie's head.

I don’t know if it’s because the silk pupa is so flammable, but the small tinderbox instantly illuminated most of the cave with the help of the silk pupa.

The densely packed silk cocoons within the cavern had mostly burst open. Monsters that had already emerged, or were about to emerge, were all crawling towards the three living people. The green-skinned monster that hadn't yet emerged from the silk cocoon Wei Xi had set on fire couldn't make a sound, but its torso, licked by the flames, twisted in a silent scream.

It stretched out a hand and tried to grab Wei Xi, but Wei Xi just watched coldly as its body surrounded by fire fell.

This artificial meteor not only cut through the darkness, but also splashed sparks onto the surrounding silk pupae. In an instant, the cemetery of silk pupae and green monsters turned into a sea of fire.

"Hurry up!" Qin Feng pulled Wei Xitiao up by the silk pupa that could still stand, and Lian Gouqie followed closely behind.

The fire held back these green-skinned monsters, but there were too many of them, and the green-skinned monsters kept crawling out.

The three men saw that the silk cocoon was about to break open and stuffed a fire starter into it. Qin Feng's sword was covered with juice from the green-skinned monster, but the monsters still rushed out of the fire encirclement in an endless stream.

"Watch out for your head!" Qin Feng raised his eyes and saw a green-skinned monster with a flying knife stuck in its forehead falling down. The owner of the flying knife, Lian Gouye, used a dagger to cut off the green arm that was holding his calf.

Wei Xi felt like she was about to lose strength. After all, she was still young, and they only needed one layer of silk cocoon to get out.

But because of the fire she set and the green-skinned monsters, they could only escape in twists and turns and were unable to climb over the last layer of silk cocoons.

"There's no way we can chop all of this stuff down," said Gou Xie, who couldn't hold on any longer. He grabbed the hand Qin Feng offered him and finally stood firm. "Wei Xi, think of a way!"

Wei Xi couldn't even speak at this point. Lingyin had completely stopped breathing, hiding in its pocket. If Wei Xi had its arms, she would have flown away long ago.

"Don't let those bugs crawl up," Qin Feng looked at the brown flesh bugs wriggling on his sword and poked a green monster in disgust. "I burned these disgusting things with fire."

Wei Xi told himself to stay calm and just find a way to climb over the last level.

There must be an antidote within seven steps. There must be an antidote within seven steps.
Just now, the pupae below them were motionless, and they even dug up several of them but found no green monsters.

So they crawled out just to catch these things?
There should be something that can control them, Wei Xi grasped this idea, but she had no time, the fire surrounded not only the green monster but also the three children.

They must find a way to climb out before the fire burns through the silk cocoons or the green monsters kill them.

It was at this time that Wei Xi discovered that the silk pupa under his feet had turned black. Could it be that it was smoked into this color?
Then Wei Xi discovered that it was a motionless black silk pupa.

Wei Xi pinched Qin Feng hard. The latter was still chopping monsters. He took a moment to glance at Wei Xi who had returned to a mute state.

When she looked up, she found that Wei Xi was pointing at the silk cocoon under her feet that had turned into a black silk cocoon at some point.

"We can go up here!" Qin Feng understood Wei Xi's meaning and called Lian Gou Xie. The three of them still had Wei Xi leading the way.

No longer caring about safety, Wei Xi directly inserted the dagger in, burning out black worms from the opening. Wei Xi closed his mouth and used the force to climb up.

Qin Feng was the last one to come up. The three of them stood on the silk cocoon on the top layer, and the green monster was also climbing up.

"There!" Lian Gouqie pointed to the direction where the silk pupa had recently escaped, and vaguely saw lush vegetation.

The three of them jumped around on the silk cocoon, dodging the green-skinned monsters that occasionally climbed onto it.

Wei Xi stabbed the green-skinned monster that had grabbed Lian Gou's calf with a dagger, and the three of them finally escaped from the nightmare-like and strange silk cocoon.

The green monsters seemed unable to leave the surface of the silk cocoon, waiting for the fire to burn them to death.

The three men collapsed to the ground, watching the fire devour the disgusting things.

"Alright," Lian Gouqie took a deep breath, "this dagger is mine."

The three people had smoke-stained faces and were speechless for a moment.
