Chapter 135 Poisonous Firefly
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, led by Huo Qinghuang, everyone went deeper into the cave again.
As we continued to explore, the terrain inside the cave became more and more complex, with many forks in the road, like a huge maze.
Relying on his keen perception, Huo Qinghuang led everyone through it.
When they reached a narrow passage, they heard a faint buzzing sound, as if countless mosquitoes were buzzing.
“Stop!”
Huo Qinghuang stopped walking and frowned slightly.
"What's that noise?"
"It looks like a mosquito. It's summer, so it's normal to have mosquitoes, right?"
The hairy dog muttered softly.
"It does sound a bit like a mosquito, but not exactly. It shouldn't be an ordinary mosquito, right?"
Xu Zheng pushed his glasses and guessed.
Just as he finished speaking, a group of flying insects that looked like fireflies but were much larger and had poisonous stings all over their bodies swarmed out from the corner and pounced towards the crowd.
Huo Qinghuang took a closer look and his face suddenly changed.
These flying insects are called poisonous fireflies. They are extremely poisonous. Once bitten, the wound will quickly fester.
Poisonous fireflies like to gather in dark and damp swamps. The cave is not far from the underground river, she should have thought of it earlier.
But now, it's too late.
All I saw were densely packed poisonous fireflies, rushing towards everyone in an overwhelming manner.
“Run!”
The hairy dog collapsed and screamed in fear.
"Stop! Squat down and cover your head with clothes. Don't expose your skin!"
Huo Qinghuang shouted sternly.
The next moment, she punched the group of poisonous fireflies. Wherever the fist passed, a large group of poisonous fireflies exploded and turned into powder that floated in the air.
Mang Shisan and Chang Ba were not to be outdone. Relying on their hard snake skins, they were not afraid of the attacks of the poisonous fireflies. They rushed into the group of poisonous fireflies, swinging their tails, and killed quite a few of them at once.
But there are too many poisonous fireflies here. If they are not killed in time, Mao Gougou and the other mortals will suffer sooner or later.
Huo Qinghuang's mind changed, and he suddenly jumped up and retreated backwards.
As soon as she moved, the poisonous fireflies seemed to smell something and followed her.
"Why did you run away?"
Chang Ba was a little confused, but adhering to the principle of "if you run, I run too", he quickly followed.
"You unlucky thing, the poisonous firefly flew away, why did you follow it?"
Mang Shisan was so angry that he started cursing.
To what Maogou and the others heard, it seemed that the giant python had suddenly gone mad and wanted to eat people. They were immediately frightened and trembled, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, wishing they could disappear on the spot.
It was not until Mang Shisan chased after Chang Ba like a gust of wind that Mao Gougou and others breathed a sigh of relief.
In the cave, Huo Qinghuang moved lightly and quickly, and disappeared around the bend in the blink of an eye.
She ran while observing the surroundings until the temperature in the cave became higher and higher. Suddenly, her eyes became bright and a small lava lake came into her sight.
“It’s right here!”
She tiptoed on the ground and rushed towards the lake like an arrow.
Behind him, poisonous fireflies swarmed in like an overwhelming force, densely packed and making an extremely terrifying noise.
“Well done!”
Huo Qinghuang's eyes were as fast as lightning. Seeing that the group of poisonous fireflies were approaching, she swung her right palm violently, and a rich spiritual energy burst out, sweeping towards the magma lake.
In an instant, the magma lake was stirred, and waves surged violently, causing rolling waves of fire that roared towards the group of poisonous fireflies.
Those poisonous fireflies were unable to dodge and were caught in the lava, and were burned to ashes in an instant.
Chang Ba was dumbfounded by this scene: "Fuck! So amazing!"
The temperature of the lava lake is extremely high. If you fall into it without paying attention, you will be killed.
But Huo Qinghuang actually took advantage of this and easily solved the group of poisonous fireflies. It was really unbelievable.
As soon as Mang Shisan caught up, he saw this scene and was shocked.
"Spiritual power! This person is so young, but he has already entered the Dao and established his foundation. It's too terrifying. We can't be his enemy!"
It was secretly shocked and extremely glad that it had turned enemies into friends and not gone down a dead end.
At this moment, Mang Shisan's mentality changed drastically.
"Great! The poisonous firefly was burned to death!"
Xiaobai came over flapping his wings and cheering excitedly.
It squatted on Huo Qinghuang's shoulder and flattered him crazily: "Old Ancestor, you are so awesome! I want to be as awesome as you in the future!"
The hair on Huo Qinghuang's forehead was soaked with sweat, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks, but it did not detract from her cold and resolute demeanor.
Hearing this, he rolled his eyes at Xiaobai and didn't bother to pay attention.
With this guy's bloodline, it would be a pipe dream to want to reach her level.
"Come here, the poisonous firefly has been dealt with."
She stood by the lava lake, glanced in the direction where Maogougou and others were hiding, and shouted loudly.
Mao Gougou and his companions then lifted up their clothes, stood up tremblingly, supported each other, and approached Huo Qinghuang with unsteady steps.
The dog patted his chest in fear and muttered, "Oh my god, I thought I was going to die here. Those bugs are so scary."
Xu Zheng also looked pale, and his glasses were crooked. He straightened his glasses and looked at Huo Qinghuang with awe: "Thanks to Master Huo, if it weren't for you, we would be in great danger today."
Huang Mingzhu and others also cast grateful glances towards Huo Qinghuang.
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly and said, "This cave should have reached its end. Let's go back and be careful not to miss any herbs."
"Okay! I must have an extra piece of barbecue tonight!"
The furry dog made a fist.
"Look at the look in your eyes. You're lucky you didn't starve to death. You still want to eat more barbecue? Dream on!"
Huang Mingzhu waved her little fist and laughed at him.
Maogougou was very angry, but he couldn't refute it.
He really didn't understand why even Huang Mingzhu, this spoiled and pampered girl, found more medicinal herbs than him?
Is his luck so bad?
…
Just as Huo Qinghuang led everyone out of the cave, at the foot of the mountain, Da Liu put down the satellite phone in his hand and looked at Changbai Mountain in front of him with a serious face.
Just now, Mr. Huo called to ask when Huo Qinghuang would return home.
He really didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only tell the other party truthfully that he did not follow the eldest lady up the mountain, but was left waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Moreover, the eldest lady’s phone has been unreachable since yesterday, and he doesn’t know when she will come down the mountain.
Then he was scolded.
As a bodyguard, he should indeed feel ashamed for not being able to stay with the young lady and fulfill his responsibilities as a bodyguard.
But the eldest lady's skills were much better than his, and he dared not disobey her orders.
Big Liu was so worried that he kept scratching his head, wishing he could stare a hole in the Changbai Mountain in front of him.
If the young lady still doesn't come back after waiting for another day, he will have to go up the mountain to look for her.
Liu made a decision secretly.
But in this vast Changbai Mountain, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. He needs to make more preparations.
Just as he was thinking this, there was suddenly a rustling noise coming from the bushes in front of him. Da Liu's eyes fixed and he looked over alertly.
The next moment, a large snake over one meter long and covered with light brown round spots emerged from the grass, raised its head, and stared at him fiercely.
White-browed belly snake!
Da Liu was startled and quickly drew his dagger out of its sheath, staring at the other person vigilantly.
The white-browed pit viper is highly venomous. Once bitten by it, it may be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
However, as a former military king, Liu is naturally not afraid.
He stared at the white-browed viper with a sharp gaze, waiting for it to attack, and then he would raise his knife and chop off the snake's head.
However, the next moment, the action of the white-browed viper made him stunned for a moment.
