What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

The off-road vehicle, like a wounded but still ferocious beast, sped along the winding and rugged mountain road.

The night wind blew into the driver's cabin through the half-open car window, bringing a chilling sensation.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, letting the cold wind whip against my face, which was covered in blood and mud.

This helps to keep one's mind clear.

That brief but extremely dangerous battle just now almost drained the last bit of killing intent from my body.

Now, my dantian is completely empty, and I feel a series of needle-like aches and pains in my meridians.

My left arm is also experiencing uncontrollable, slight muscle spasms due to overwork.

If it weren't for the mysterious, cool aura emanating from between my eyebrows, continuously releasing its chill and forcefully suppressing the surging of my blood and qi, I probably would have already given in and overturned the car.

In the rearview mirror, the ambush site shrouded in thick fog had long been left far behind, and there was no longer any trace of pursuers in sight.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief and eased off the accelerator a little to keep the speed within a relatively safe and stable range.

"I'm so glad I survived."

I murmured something and glanced at Li Qing, who was still fast asleep in the back row.

We drove forward for about another half hour.

The trees along the road gradually became sparser, and the terrain was no longer as steep and treacherous as the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Just when I thought I could finally catch my breath for the rest of the journey.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound suddenly came from the car window on my left.

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed particularly jarring in the quiet carriage.

My heart tightened suddenly, and I instinctively thought that Hei Li's pursuers had used some strange hidden weapon technique again. My right hand instantly reached for the willow leaf knife placed in the passenger seat.

But when I turned my head to look, I couldn't help but be stunned.

On the car window, which was slightly blurred by the night wind, there was a dark gold object.

By the dim light of the instrument panel, I could clearly see its six pairs of transparent wings and its carapace, which was as hard as if it were cast in gold.

Six-winged Golden Centipede!

After seeing what was on the car window, I raised an eyebrow, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in my eyes.

To be honest, when I forcibly woke it up on the highway and threw it out to deal with that female Gu master's mutated natal Gu, I never expected it to come back.

Unexpectedly, after consuming the natal Gu, this guy was still able to smell it and catch up with the off-road vehicle traveling at full speed in this desolate wilderness.

Looking at it this way, it seems that my bond with the Gu King of the Lan family is a bit too deep.

After smiling, I slowed down and reached out to press the control button on the car window.

The car window slowly rolled down.

The six-winged golden centipede let out a soft hiss, and with a gentle flap of its six pairs of wings, it flew into the carriage through the gap.

It didn't show any aggression; instead, it flew straight to my chest and slipped inside my torn clothes.

When it lay on my chest again, I could clearly feel that its body temperature was much higher than before, radiating a burning heat.

Moreover, its size seemed to have increased slightly, and the golden luster on its carapace had become deeper.

Clearly, devouring the natal Gu of a Gu Master was a great tonic for it.

"Looks like waking you up to pay the rent wasn't such a bad thing after all."

I gently patted my chest through my clothes, feeling its rhythm gradually subside.

Then, I rolled up the car window again and focused my attention back on the road ahead.

Time slowly passed during the monotonous driving.

As the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, the off-road vehicle finally drove out of the endless primeval forest.

The dawn light pierced through the thin mist and shone on the wide, smooth asphalt road.

At the edge of the field of vision, the outlines of some modern buildings and rising smoke can be vaguely seen.

We finally drove completely out of the southern Xinjiang region.

The oppressive feeling that had been weighing on my heart, as if I were about to be swallowed by darkness, finally vanished at this moment.

I parked my car at a rest area by the roadside, opened the car door, and got out.

The morning air is slightly cool and moist; inhaling it invigorates the spirit.

I walked to the roadside and simply washed my face with mineral water, washing away the blood and fatigue.

Then, I took my phone out of my pocket.

Back in that primeval rainforest, this thing was just a lump of iron with absolutely no signal.

It's out now; the signal bar in the upper right corner of the screen has finally reached full strength.

Without hesitation, I dialed Jin Wanliang's number directly.

Before coming to southern Xinjiang, Jin Wanliang and I had made a detailed agreement.

Given Li Qing's current condition, his treatment definitely cannot be delayed any longer.

The agreed-upon safe house came in handy.

If you count the time, almost two days have passed.

Given Jin Wanliang's efficiency, everything should have been arranged by now.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

"Feed? Bro!"

The receiver carried Jin Wanliang's deliberately lowered voice, yet one that still betrayed his anxiety and excitement.

"It's me," I replied.

"Oh my god, you've finally called!"

Jin Wanliang let out a long sigh of relief, his tone filled with a sense of relief and joy.

"I've been so worried about you these past two days, I haven't been able to sleep soundly."

If you don't contact me soon, I'm going to send Ma San and his men to search the mountains!

"There was no signal in the mountains, which caused some trouble and delayed us a bit."

I glossed over the life-and-death struggle of the past few days in a lighthearted manner, without emphasizing the dangers involved.

"How's it going on your end?" I cut straight to the point.

"all the best!"

Jin Wanliang's voice became more capable.

"I rushed back to Jiangcheng the day before yesterday, and after handing over the goods, I flew back to Yunnan Province overnight with a few trustworthy brothers."

We just arrived here last night, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that we got the safe house and medical equipment all set up.

At this point, Jin Wanliang paused, his tone becoming somewhat tense:

"Brother, how are you and Li Qing doing now? Did you rescue him? How badly are you injured?"

I turned and glanced at Li Qing, who was still unconscious in the carriage, and replied:

"I have already brought the person out."

However, he was seriously injured and is currently still in a coma.

Fortunately, they are out of danger and should be out of danger.

We're not in good shape right now and need a safe place to rest.

"Okay! As long as they get out alive, that's fine!"

Upon hearing that Li Qing was still alive, Jin Wanliang's tone immediately became much more cheerful.

"I knew you'd be fine with me! Where are you now?"

I glanced at the location on my phone and gave a rough coordinate.
