However, before she leaned over to cut it, Lin Yi on her back suddenly said, "Be careful!"
"What?" Duanmu Yu was shocked, and then she saw a huge loach sweeping out from the mud pile. It was the brain-eating bug whose head was just crushed by Lin Yi. This guy was still alive!
A centipede dies but does not fall down, not to mention the brain-eating bug's heaven-defying vitality. Lin Yi even suspected that it had swallowed the brain of some earthworm-type spirit beast. Even if the head was gone, the remaining body could still survive and become a new independent individual.
I underestimated the enemy! Lin Yi could not help but sigh. If he had dealt with the body just now, there would not be so many problems. Unfortunately, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Dragon Form had reached its limit. If he had forcibly maintained it, he might have killed himself. He could only cancel it in advance, but he did not expect it to still leave a hidden danger.
Unfortunately, it was too late to react now. Lin Yi's current state could not be said to be completely weak, but for a short period of time, he really did not have any strength to speak of. The only way to save his life was to transform into a spirit and leave it to fate.
However, that was the last resort. Although the spirit form would not be harmed most of the time, once it encountered a method similar to Alchemic Fire that restrained the spirit, it would immediately be doomed. Lin Yi would not dare to do this even if he was in his peak state, let alone now that he was so weak that he could not withstand a single blow. Maybe he would not even need to be specifically targeted. A strong wind would directly destroy his spirit.
After all, the brain-eating bug was a brain-eating bug. Although it had been abused beyond recognition, this near-death sneak attack was still very powerful. Even if it was not even half of its peak state, it was enough to deal with the average Gold Core Stage master.
At this moment, Lin Yi even vaguely heard the excited cry of the brain-eating bug. As long as its sneak attack was successful, it could counterattack and then activate its brain-eating talent!
Unfortunately, it forgot one thing. Although Duanmu Yu was just an inconspicuous Foundation Establishment Stage master, this woman's means were not as weak as her strength level.
Boom! An iron leaf blocked the Brain-Eating Insect's sneak attack at the last moment. The strength of the iron leaf was so strong that it actually forced the insect back. One leaf like a mountain!
However, the opponent's attack was too strong, and Duanmu Yu was also sent flying. Even so, she did not forget to take care of Lin Yi behind her. She forcibly flipped her body over before she fell into the pile of mud. Lin Yi was on top of her, and she was on the bottom. She fell face first into the mud, and her face was covered in mud.
"Why bother?" Lin Yi was slightly touched. In fact, there was no need for Duanmu Yu to do this. He could jump away before he landed, but that would more or less damage his Essence Soul.
"Pu!" Duan Muyu spat out a mouthful of mud, which was poured into her nose. She spat it out without caring about her image and said casually, "It's okay. It's just a mouthful of mud. It's not a big deal."
"You really are a tough woman!" Lin Yi said sincerely.
"Manly woman? What do you mean? "Duanmu Yu frowned.
"Miss is really a strong woman." Lin Yi changed the way he put it.
Duan Muyu laughed when she heard this and did not take it to heart. Instead, she frowned and guarded against the Brain-Eating Bug, which was dead but not dead. The Mountain-Like Leaf just now was her strongest performance, but she did not expect that she still could not defeat a Brain-Eating Bug that was on the verge of death. The gap between them was really shocking.
Not only that, the most troublesome thing was that the Brain-Eating Insect had completely turned into a loach at this moment. It quietly drilled into the thick mud, and even divine sense could not detect it.
Silt could restrain the perception of divine sense to a great extent. Lin Yi had already experienced this when he was on Sky State Island. Back then, he relied on this to avoid being locked on by Xishan Old Master's divine sense. Even if the two types of silt could not be compared, the effect was similar. Moreover, Duan Muyu's level of divine sense wasn't that strong. It was normal for him to not be able to find the Brain-Eating Bug.
If Lin Yi was not so weak now, with his powerful divine sense, he might be able to lock on to the Brain-Eating Insect. Unfortunately, this was a completely false proposition. He could only stabilize his Essence Soul by relying on the Holy Water Pearl. Forcibly releasing his divine sense to search for the Brain-Eating Insect was tantamount to self-harm or even courting death.
"Let's go." Lin Yi sighed. At this time, the river was filling up bit by bit, and it was almost above his calves. The ominous feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. His intuition told him that if he did not quickly return to the shore, he was afraid that something big would really happen.
"But …" Duanmu Yu also knew that things were not good. Now, she did not know where the Brain-Eating Insect was hiding, but one thing was certain. If she continued to collect the Divine Sense Grass, the other party would definitely attack again. She had just used two Falling Leaves In The Autumn and one Mountain like Leaf in succession, which consumed a lot of her Qi. She might not be able to withstand another attack.
Withdrawing and retreating was the wisest thing to do.
However, the Divine Sense Grass was right in front of her. Giving it up would be a waste of God's gift, and it might become a lifelong regret!
"Where there's life, there's hope. This Divine Sense Grass is growing here, and it won't run away. When I recover, I'll come back again. I just need to wait for one more day." Lin Yi comforted her.
These words were a bit self-deceiving. The Divine Sense Grass did grow here, and of course, it could not run away, but was the Brain-Eating Insect not interested in it? Maybe after they left, it would directly swallow it in one bite?
"Okay." Duanmu Yu finally defeated her impulse with reason. After making up her mind, she carried Lin Yi on her back and retreated to the shore without hesitation.
The two of them thought that the brain-eating worm would jump out to stop them, but there was no movement from the mud pile. They did not know if it had escaped or was still hiding in the mud and watching.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure on the distant shore quickly approached the two of them. After seeing the other party's appearance, Duanmu Yu and Lin Yi's hearts thumped at the same time. The person who came was Xue Jianfeng!
No one thought that they would actually meet this guy at this time and place!
"Oh, hey, the two of you got together so quickly. Aren't you afraid of offending public decency in broad daylight? The two of you are really open, really romantic!" Xue Jianfeng looked at Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu with a mocking look.
"You better watch your mouth!" Duanmu Yu suddenly glared. Although she was a tough woman, it did not mean that she did not value a woman's reputation. If she allowed Xue Jianfeng to talk nonsense, she and Lin Yi would not be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
