Perhaps those insects alone could have killed us all. Now I'm looking at those blackened insects below.

Although I felt a deep disgust, I still kept a close eye on every single movement.

The next second, seeing these guys getting faster and faster, I immediately realized that the girl was indeed a little unhappy.

At that moment, her legs involuntarily trembled twice. Seeing this, I immediately asked her what was wrong.

"Brother, do you think we can really walk across this stone platform...?"

The girl immediately took two steps back, then looked around at her surroundings, her voice carrying a strange, vicious tone.

And I suddenly felt that her eyes seemed to have become a little unfocused. Didn't the girl just agree with this point?

Why has she suddenly changed her mind? What does this mean?

Could it be that the girl has come up with some other method?

But now, her attitude doesn't seem like she has any other options at all.

I was a little confused, then gestured with my eyes for the girl to continue, and at that moment, the girl spoke with a hint of disdain.

"Brother, we were almost touching the crack in the mural, why didn't we just crawl in? Why are we wasting our time here!"

At this moment, the girl couldn't help but speak, and her tone suddenly became somewhat sharp. I was a little puzzled by this girl; how did she suddenly become like this?

"Master, do you think the girl has been bewitched? Look at these insects, they seem to be moving really fast, like they're about to rush towards us at any moment!"

At that moment, Lei Jijian's voice echoed in my mind, immediately reminding me of myself.

Holy crap, if that's the case, then it's really possible. Could the girl have been affected by these insects?

I didn't say anything more, just stared intently at the insects. At that moment, the girl couldn't help but start complaining to me again.

"If we had left there earlier, we would probably have arrived at the manor by now, instead of wasting time here!"

It's a waste of time, even a waste of life!

At this moment, the girl's voice really sounded unfamiliar to me. Her tone was just like the one she used to threaten to eat me. When I saw her like that, my lower body twitched, and I became alert.

Lei Jijian is right.

This girl is very likely under some kind of spell. I blinked hard again, then quickly held her shoulders to help her regain her senses. At that moment, the girl's eyes suddenly turned a little red.

Holy crap, what's going on?!

I was completely stunned. If that's the case, I might as well have just told the girl not to come up in the first place!

We can just go through that gap.

That way, even if a problem does arise, we can both share the burden, instead of her coming here to complain now.

After all, I came here with the girl.

In the beginning, it was also because I wanted to protect her and help her restore her energy.

We chose to come to this Dragon Palace, and now that problems have arisen, I should take responsibility instead of going after her for other things.

To be honest, I also bear some responsibility for the girl's current state.

At this point, I ignored the girl and continued to kick the insects aside as much as I could.

Upon seeing this, the girl seemed to regain some of her senses, and I then kicked the insects even harder.

After all, these insects look disgusting, and I don't know what side effects they might have.

If it really bites us, I'm scared. I'd even lose control like a teenage girl.

After kicking away most of the bugs, I quickly reached out and supported the girl's shoulder. At that moment, I could feel Yiyi's body trembling slightly with my fingertips.

The pink energy in her palm seemed to have become somewhat disordered at this moment.

It was no longer the gentle fluctuation it had before; it had even started to feel somewhat cold.

Wait a minute, I remember very clearly that its palms were always warm.

Before I could even process the sound of the lightning strike, it suddenly exploded in my head.

"Master, it seems that fat man is actually about to run out, and it looks like he's starting to tear that suit again!"

Holy crap, I immediately became alert, and then I looked down and saw that the fat guy below was constantly running towards my feet.

Moreover, that fat man has almost torn the clothes under his suit jacket.

He kept throwing them up there, as if he could never finish.

Moreover, the insects he threw up were all very long and thick, which made me feel physically disgusted.

I suddenly realized that the pinkish light surrounding the fat man seemed to have mostly dissipated.

Moreover, the fat man's bluish-gray skin had become increasingly dark, resembling the color of a corpse that had been left out for a long time.

Even more bizarrely, the insects on this guy's body seemed to be crawling out of him frantically.

Following the trail of the lingering pink light, milky-white worms slowly crawled along, almost as if they were feeding on that energy.

Moreover, I discovered that in the area where that insect had crawled, the remaining pink energy was slowly disappearing, as if it had been drained of its moisture.

Holy crap, I was shocked. This is just too outrageous.

I could even smell a faint sweet scent in the air just now, but now it's become quite faint.

"It was this guy who did it!"

I immediately realized what was happening, and then shook the girl's shoulder forcefully.

I discovered that the bugs this fat guy created are definitely capable of devouring the girl's energy.

Moreover, if the energy is completely absorbed, it will be possible to take the opportunity to bewitch the girl.

Just like those insects that manipulated the fat man's body before, those insects seemed to have their own thoughts.

Now, by uniting, we can even indirectly influence young girls.

I am now clear that this is absolutely not a matter of contract; the contract we have been bound by has remained completely unchanged.

Moreover, it seems that since we released this ancient person, the contract on his body hasn't changed much.

It's all those bugs causing the trouble!
