Chapter 171

Previously, seeing Yu Aoqing and the others dealing with it in such a flustered manner, Yang Kai thought these strange insects were very difficult to deal with. But now that he had made a move, he found that it was not the case.

Perhaps they were difficult to deal with for Yu Aoqing and the others, but for himself, it was simply extremely easy.

The wings of these little things were extremely fragile, and their ranks were low. When he charged forward, he didn’t even need to make a move. Just the hot Yang Qi could burn their wings.

Losing the ability to fly, they simply couldn’t pose too much of a threat to Yang Kai.

Their only advantage was their huge number, and they could also dig holes, shuttling underground with extremely convenient movements, often popping out from under Yang Kai’s feet to attack him.

Using his movement technique, Yang Kai quickly broke away from the encirclement of the strange insects. After rushing forward for a few miles, he suddenly stopped again.

He found that there was a hazy mist blocking his way right in front of him. It was the same kind of mist that had melted that ordinary person just now！

What’s going on？ Did he run back？ Yang Kai wasn’t sure. He immediately ran along the edge of the mist, hoping to find a breakthrough to rush out.

But half an hour later, when a skeleton appeared in front of Yang Kai, his expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

This skeleton was exactly that of the ordinary person who had been melted before.

Not giving up, he continued to run. After a while, Yang Kai’s face darkened.

Not far in front of him, there was another corpse, but it had been bitten beyond recognition. The clothes on the corpse were familiar to Yang Kai. They were exactly the clothes of a disciple of Yunxia Sect.

And judging from the weapon beside him, this person was exactly that Qi Yuan who had been thrown out by himself before！

After running for a long time, he was actually running in circles！ The area within a radius of more than ten miles around here had all been wrapped by that highly toxic mist.

Only at this moment did Yang Kai know that those strange insects were not as easy to deal with as they seemed on the surface. They were indeed vulnerable under his scorching Yang Qi, but he didn’t know what kind of ability they had. They had actually blocked this large area with highly toxic Qi.

Unless the mist was broken, it was simply impossible to leave.

Could he withstand the erosion of that mist？ Yang Kai had no idea in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to go and test it out.

Arriving at the edge of the mist, with a cold expression, he slowly stretched out a hand. The True Yang Art was running to the extreme, and even the Unyielding Pride was utilized.

Just as his finger touched the mist, Yang Kai withdrew it like a flash of lightning.

A hissing sound came from the fingertip. Looking down, Yang Kai’s complexion sank.

The flesh and blood at the fingertip was almost melted, and a piercing pain came. Yang Kai decisively cut off that piece of flesh and blood.

Tearing off his clothes, he wrapped the wound, took a deep breath, and looked around.

He had just separated from Yu Aoqing and the others nearby, but where were they now？ With the mist surrounding them, no one could escape, and there were no other corpses here. So where did they go？

Sasa sasa, buzz buzz buzz…

Youdaoplaceholder0 strange insects, as if smelling the fishy smell of fish, once again approached Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s expression changed, and the True Yang Yuan Qi was forced out of his body, and he charged towards the strange insects head-on.

Just as easily as before, after the wings of these strange insects were burned off, they fluttered and fell down, but the number did not decrease at all. Instead, it became more and more. God knows how many strange insects were hidden here, covering the sky and the earth, countless.

Yang Kai killed these little things while running, making several big circles within a radius of more than ten miles, yet still couldn’t see the slightest way out. He couldn’t help but feel a rush of anxiety in his heart.

Although there was a lot of Yang Liquid in his dantian, which was enough to support him in such a massacre, his physical strength was always limited. If his physical strength was exhausted, even if there was more Yang Liquid, he could only wait for death.

Young Master, for this kind of social insect like, there is generally an insect king just like bees.” At a critical moment, the Earth Demon spoke up.

“What do you mean?” Yang Kai asked in the midst of his busy work.

“This old slave means that if we can subdue that insect king, it may be possible to escape from this place.”

“Do you know where that insect king is？”

“Cough cough… This old slave doesn’t know.”

Yang Kai didn’t have the mood to blame the Earth Demon for talking nonsense, but he thought of a possibility.

Perhaps… these strange insects besieging him were not trying to kill him, but a kind of hunting！

The fact that Yu Aoqing and the others disappeared without a trace and didn’t leave any corpses was the best proof. These Yunxia disciples were most likely caught by these strange insects and taken somewhere.

And that place should be the lair of the strange insects！

Bees are also like this. Some bees collect honey outside and bring it back for the queen bee to enjoy. Can we understand the behavior of these strange insects as collecting honey？

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. A bold plan slowly took shape in his mind.

Carefully speculating on the success rate of this plan, it was only after a long while that Yang Kai slowly retracted his True Yang Yuan Qi and, panting heavily, looked towards those strange insects.

Yang Kai no longer resisted, and those strange insects also stopped attacking. Instead, they surrounded him layer by layer.

“Young Master, what are you doing？” The Earth Demon was shocked and horrified.

“Conducting an experiment！” Yang Kai said with a solemn face. Since he simply couldn’t escape from the fog surrounding him anyway, if he continued to fight like this, he would eventually die from exhaustion. It would be better to take advantage of the fact that he still had the ability to resist and play along with the plan.

If his guess was correct, then there was still some hope of survival.

After confronting each other for a moment, suddenly dozens of those strange insects flew towards Yang Kai.

The Earth Demon shouted： “Young Master, you can’t just sit here and wait for death like this！”

“Shut up！” Yang Kai didn’t want to listen to his chatter. His entire mind was focused on the dozens of strange insects charging towards him. His whole body tensed up like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to take action again as soon as he sensed something was wrong.

But to his joy and excitement, after these strange insects flew onto him, they really didn’t have the intention to kill him. Instead, they dragged, pulled, bumped, and shoved him, pulling him in one direction.

Sure enough！ A smile bloomed deep within the corner of Yang Kai’s mouth.

In this way, it could explain why there were no corpses of Yu Aoqing and the others at this moment. Presumably, these people also fought until they were exhausted and were caught by the strange insects.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of strange insects, the scene looked a bit terrifying, but Yang Kai’s expression was calm as he walked along in the direction these strange insects were pulling and dragging him.

Before long, he came to a large pit.

Inside this large pit, there was a dark cave, just like the mouth of a man-eating beast, extremely ferocious.

At the entrance of the cave, Yang Kai saw a piece of torn skirt corner. The color and fabric were somewhat familiar. It was exactly Yu Aoqing’s.

Sure enough, they were captured and brought here.

The speculation in his heart had been completely confirmed, and Yang Kai had nothing to worry about. Without waiting for those strange insects to urge him, he directly jumped into the cave.

A foul and fishy smell assaulted his nostrils. The interior of this cave was full of twists and turns, and all the underground passageways were dug by strange insects, looking like a.

As Yang Kai walked, he paid attention to the direction and secretly left some marks at the places he passed by.

In the passageway, many strange insects could also be seen running back and forth from time to time. Moreover, the strange insects here were not only as big as a bowl. These insects seemed to have many differences. Some were almost as tall as a person, and there were also those as big as a washbasin or a water bucket, looking extremely terrifying.

Damn it, I have actually become a prisoner under the supervision of a group of insects！ When I find your insect king, I will definitely make you look good！ Yang Kai’s mood fluctuated.

Led by those strange insects, Yang Kai walked in the passage for a long time before coming to a relatively spacious space.

It can be said that this place is a cave, but it is the place where this group of strange insects store food. Because as soon as Yang Kai came in, he found several people from Yunxia all trapped here.

Several pairs of eyes looked at Yang Kai, and Yang Kai heard a burst of unkind and gloating sneers, which were exactly made by Miao Lin.

Several people from Yunxia had more or less some injuries on their bodies. They were sitting on the ground listlessly and all looked at Yang Kai with unfriendly expressions.

The strange insects escorted Yang Kai here and then left. Instead, outside the cave entrance, there were several big insects taller than humans guarding, obviously to prevent these people from escaping.

After entering the cave, Yang Kai didn’t pay attention to the several people from Yunxia. He self-consciously found a remote corner and sat cross-legged.

Yu Aoqing stared at Yang Kai coldly. Seeing that he closed his eyes and concentrated, and had no desire to speak at all, she couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you exactly！”

Yang Kai opened his eyes and glanced at her faintly.

“Why did you mix into my Yunxia’s ship and hide your own strength? Why did you go to such lengths?” Yu Aoqing asked several questions in succession.

Yang Kai looked at her with disdain and slowly said, “First, it wasn’t me who wanted to get on your big ship. It was your Yunxia who brought me here. Second, if I didn’t hide my strength, could I still be alive until now？ Third, I’m so calculating, and it’s only for survival. Woman, stop being so arrogant and questioning me. If it weren’t for your Yunxia catching people everywhere, how could I have come here？”

“How dare you talk to me like this！” Yu Aoqing sneered.

“Do you think you’re so noble？” Yang Kai disdained.

“Senior Sister Qing, don’t waste your breath on him. He just killed Senior Brother Qi Yuan！” Miao Lin glared at Yang Kai hatefully. “We must avenge Senior Brother Qi！”

“Hehe！” Yang Kai laughed.

“What are you laughing at？” Miao Lin gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Kai. “Don’t you know how to write the word ‘death’？”

“Idiot！” Yang Kai looked at him contemptuously. “When I was working on the ship, I heard this woman say to your Elder Yu that when we find the Hidden Island, you will be thrown into the sea. It’s ridiculous that you don’t know anything about it！”

Yu Aoqing’s expression changed in a panic and she quickly said, “I didn’t say that！”

After that, she looked at Miao Lin again and explained, “Don’t listen to his nonsense！”

Miao Lin looked at Yang Kai and said, “Do you think that I will believe your baseless slander of Senior Sister Qing？ Senior Sister Qing, you don’t need to explain. I know you won’t do that.”

Yu Aoqing nodded then.

“Whether she said it or not, she herself knows clearly.” Yang Kai said coldly, looking at Yu Aoqing and said, “You’d better not think about taking action, otherwise it may alarm those insects！”

Yu Aoqing took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in her heart. She knew that what Yang Kai said was right. During the conversation among the few people, the big insects guarding outside had already been alarmed and were looking over here furtively.

Although she wanted to kill Yang Kai, she really didn’t dare to take action.

After a verbal confrontation, there was no taste. Yang Kai just planted a thorn in Miao Lin’s heart. After all, now they have more people. If they really make up their minds to deal with him, he will definitely not be able to get any benefit. Only by making them suspicious each other can he ensure his own safety.
