He didn't dare to implicate Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing, but he had to go back himself, even if it cost him his life.
"You're so troublesome." Bing Wuqing frowned. She didn't have a good impression of Chu Tianlu in the first place, and now she felt that this guy didn't know what was good for him. In her opinion, they weren't friends at all. Since Chu Tianlu wanted to die, then let him die.
Lin Yi admired him quite a bit. There weren't many people who could be so loyal these days. Chu Tianlu was a rare weirdo, and Lin Yi couldn't bear to watch him die. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Forget it. For the sake of the Divine Knowledge Fruit, I'll go back and take a look. You guys stay here and don't come over."
"You don't have to? Brother Lin, you've already done everything you could for me. Hurry up and go. Don't worry about me. I'm just going to take a look. I'll help if I can, but if I can't, then forget it. I won't do anything stupid on impulse, "Chu Tianlu said sincerely.
Bing Wuqing didn't say anything, but her expression didn't agree either. Her logic was very simple. It was meaningless to take risks for an outsider she didn't know, especially someone at Lin Yi's level.
"Just take a look? Do you have that ability? " Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Chu Tianlu. With Chu Tianlu's insignificant strength, he'd basically lose his life if he took a look at something that even he was afraid of.
Chu Tianlu blushed with shame. His words weren't exactly polite, but he had no room to refute them. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Yi abandoned him and Bing Wuqing, turned around, and went back. In the blink of an eye, he was already gone.
Returning to where they were just now, even Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the scene in front of him. Chu Tianlu's two friends were still screaming and running for their lives, but a dark mass was following closely behind them. At first glance, it looked like a dark cloud covering their heads, like a sandstorm. In terms of speed, it was much faster than the two of them, and it seemed that they couldn't escape anymore.
At this moment, the tall man who was running in front had a ferocious look on his face. He suddenly pulled out his sword and sent a sharp Sword Qi behind him. He was forced into a dead end and had no other choice.
However, he was not going to turn around and fight to the death with that black mass. His target was actually another young cultivator who was following closely behind him. They had been best friends for decades, and that person did not expect his best friend to be so vicious at such a critical moment of life and death.
Two people were being chased by the same tiger. If they wanted to escape, they didn't need to be able to outrun the tiger. They just needed to be able to outrun the other person. This was a principle that everyone knew. It was just that he didn't expect this to happen to him.
The Sword Qi came right at his head, and the young cultivator hurriedly dodged. The Sword Qi almost brushed past his scalp, cutting off a strand of his black hair. It was a dangerous situation, but it was not worth celebrating.
Because he was dodging the Sword Qi, his footsteps unconsciously paused for a moment, and in that short moment, the black cloud behind him had already firmly enveloped him, and then, like maggots attached to a bone, a large ball firmly stuck to his body, unable to be removed, and he could no longer escape.
At the same time, the tall man who escaped first did not get out of danger as expected. After all, it was not a tiger that was chasing them. The black cloud that enveloped the young cultivator split into two at the same time, but he did not fall behind at all. Instead, he chased even closer. A terrifying buzzing sound that made people's scalps numb sounded in his ears, getting closer and closer.
"Help! Help! " The tall man saw the figure of Lin Yi in front of him and immediately thought that he had caught a life-saving straw. He quickly shouted. In this situation, if no one reached out to help, he would definitely die.
Lin Yi looked on coldly. Before this, he had the intention to save him, but after seeing this guy's action just now, he completely gave up on this idea. This kind of person would be a disaster even if he was saved, so it was better to let him fend for himself.
However, what really concerned Lin Yi was the layer of black cloud that covered the two of them. At first glance, it was a little difficult to see with the naked eye at a distance of tens of feet. He thought it was just a layer of strange black cloud, but if he looked closely, he would find that it was not a black cloud at all, but a large group of extremely tiny insects!
At first glance, they looked a bit like beetles, but their bodies were much smaller, and each of them was black and shiny, as if they were wrapped in a layer of strange black grease. Once they were glued to them, they would be everywhere, including the five senses and seven orifices, and even the pores and hair follicles of the whole body. They would crazily drill in, making a sizzling sound.
As Lin Yi looked on coldly from the side, the two of them had already sunk into a final struggle. They had already been firmly entangled by these black insects, and had no chance of escaping. The only thing they could do was put up a final struggle.
From afar, the two of them seemed to have gone mad as they beat their bodies with all their might. Even if they beat themselves to the point where their skin and flesh were lacerated, or even crazily vomiting blood, they still didn't care.
"You've both gone mad!" In the end, Chu Tianlu still followed them over. When he saw this scene, he hurriedly went up to help. As a good friend of many years, he couldn't just watch the two of them mutilate themselves.
Lin Yi extended his hand and stopped him. "Open your eyes and look carefully. They're slapping the insects on their bodies. If I'm not mistaken, once these black insects attach themselves to a body, they will crazily drill into it. Even if they attach themselves to the outside, they will crazily suck blood. If you don't want to die, then stand there and don't move."
"Insects?" Chu Tianlu was taken aback. Those black insects were practically indistinguishable to the naked eye, and with his strength at this distance, he couldn't see them clearly, let alone see as clearly as Lin Yi did.
"There are actually such terrifying insects in this world. It's really appalling!" Bing Wuqing had also caught up. When she saw this scene, her expression changed. She had originally thought that with her current strength, she could go to any dangerous place in the Immemorial Underworld. She didn't expect this tiny Tai Snake Island to be so dangerous. The Sky-Devouring Crocodile from before was already enough to kill her. The threat of these tiny black insects in front of her was even greater!
Coming here to take risks, it was fine if one was lucky. But if one was unlucky and encountered the Sky-Devouring Crocodile and the terrifying black insects one after another like they did, ordinary Gold Core and Foundation Establishment experts wouldn't be able to survive even if they had ten lives.
Seeing that the injuries of the two people in front of him were getting more and more serious, and even showing signs of bleeding from their seven orifices, Chu Tianlu couldn't hold himself back anymore. He knew that he couldn't save the two of them. The only one who could possibly help him save the two of them was Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi had saved his life before. It was already extremely benevolent of him to agree to let him tag along. How could he have the face to ask Lin Yi to take such a huge risk for two unrelated outsiders?
