Just as the two were wondering, Hua Maguai's shout came from afar:
"What are you doing standing still? Run away!"
The two then got up, held hands, and ran towards the main hall of the Boundless Immortal Palace.
At this point, all the bandits from the Unloading Ridge faction had retreated to this place.
Under Hua Maguai's organization, a defensive formation was formed to resist the insect swarm.
Having learned from several previous mistakes.
This time, they were able to defend themselves well against the attacks of these poisonous insects and mirages.
"Phew!" Hua Ma Guai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two return safely from the swarm of insects, exclaiming, "You two are really lucky to be alive!"
"They actually managed to come back unharmed under these circumstances!"
He was also very puzzled.
Why didn't the massive swarm of insects attack them?
Hong Guniang and Yin Xinyue exchanged a glance and shook their heads in confusion.
Hua Ling suddenly stepped forward and said, "I think it might be because of this."
As he spoke, he took out a sachet from his waist, which still emitted a slightly pungent fragrance.
Yin Xinyue and Hong Guniang suddenly realized!
They each took out an identical sachet from their person.
Hua Ling explained, "This is an insect-repelling sachet that Li Xiaohu specially asked me to make."
"I just didn't expect it to work so well."
She touched her mouth cutely and guessed, "Perhaps it's because of that thunder vine?"
Hong Guniang and Yin Xinyue felt a warmth in their hearts as they looked at the insect-repelling sachets in their hands.
The next second, however, they all looked worriedly into the abyss below the bridge.
I wonder how Li Xiaohu and the others are doing?

Chapter 55 - They stole the golden core from the six-winged centipede?! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)
A deep abyss beneath the bridge.
Li Xiaohu passed through the narrow, cramped crevice in the stone.
Then they heard the terrifying hiss of the six-winged centipede, followed by a series of loud crashing sounds!
"careful!"
He gave a word of advice to those behind him, then bent down and carefully crawled out of the crevice.
The outside seemed to be another cave, much more spacious.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle followed closely behind.
Partridge Whistle glanced back a few times, cleared away the few poisonous insects that had followed, and seeing a swarm of dark shadows approaching from afar, he hurriedly said, "The insects behind are coming!"
Li Xiaohu turned around and saw that it was indeed the case!
He then took out the insect-repelling sachet from his body and placed it at the seam.
The poisonous insects that followed smelled the pungent aroma and hurriedly scattered, some even turning around and crawling back.
The poisonous insects and mirages that had followed them dispersed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clang! Boom!"
Loud noises echoed continuously from inside the cave.
Interspersed among these were the cries of a raging golden rooster, the roars of a round-tailed tiger, and the hissing of a six-winged centipede.
Through his night vision, Chen Yulou saw that this was also a cave in the mountain, only smaller in size.
Dozens of coffins were piled up haphazardly in the cave, almost forming walls of coffins!
There were a few scattered corpses outside, but most of them were incomplete or damaged.
Right in the middle of the cave.
A huge alchemy furnace stood there, taller than two people, and roughly estimated to weigh several kilograms!
The six-winged centipede was curled up on the alchemy furnace, constantly fighting with the angry-eyed golden rooster and the round-tailed tiger on its body!
"Chief Chen," Li Xiaohu said, handing him the tinderbox. "Please find a way to start a fire."
Only Chen Yulou had night vision.
Although he and Partridge Whistle had good eyesight, it was still difficult for them to see the specific situation in such a dark environment.
Chen Yulou took the tinder and nodded.
Then he felt around on the wall, looking for something to light.
Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle closed their eyes and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the cave.
Wait patiently for the right opportunity.
"call!"
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew by!
The two suddenly opened their eyes and scattered backwards almost simultaneously!
There was a loud "bang!"
The six-winged centipede's enormous tail barely grazed the two of them before slamming heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Unable to see, the two dared not make any rash moves and retreated several steps until they reached a safe area.
Chen Yulou, standing to the side, felt his way along the road.
However, nothing was found that could be ignited immediately.
"Bang!"
The six-winged centipede suddenly smashed a coffin, and fragments flew towards him.
Chen Yulou quickly rolled over to dodge.
Unexpectedly, it rolled to the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Just as I was about to get up and leave, I found that my hand touched something greasy.
I brought it close to my nose and smelled it, and I was instantly stunned!
He muttered in shock, "Corpse oil?"
But he quickly came to his senses.
Stick the tinder into the corpse oil on the ground.
"Boom!"
The corpse oil was ignited by the flames, instantly bursting into a raging fire that illuminated the dark cave.
Chen Yulou withdrew.
That's when I truly saw it clearly.
The bottom of the alchemy furnace was covered in corpse oil!
The flames ignited by the corpse oil instantly engulfed the entire alchemy furnace!
The six-winged centipede coiled on top also soon suffered, emitting painful hissing sounds!
However, the flames were so hot that the Angry Golden Rooster and the Round-tailed Tiger were very uncomfortable, and they were forced to adjust their positions on the Six-Winged Centipede.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the six-winged centipede quickly pulled itself out and pounced onto a wall!
Then he bent down and exhaled streams of red mist that swirled around the wounds on his body.
Li Xiaohu and the others made a surprising discovery!
There seemed to be a bead in the red mist, and under its influence, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Good heavens!" Partridge Whistle exclaimed in shock, "It's actually a great demon who has cultivated a golden core!"
Chen Yulou, equally shocked, exclaimed, "No wonder they said they were difficult to deal with!"
All of them were well-informed and knowledgeable.
They knew that only powerful demons who had cultivated a golden core could quickly heal their injuries through the circulation of that core within their bodies.
The two round-tailed tigers looked at the six-winged centipede's golden core with a strange look in their eyes.
That's a form of certification for the prey!
They also want that golden elixir!
