Chapter 155 Soul Devouring Insect
Facing Gu Shihan's question, Xingbai and Yutong couldn't help but look at each other, only to see a look of confusion on each other's faces, with doubts and puzzlement in their eyes, as if they were completely confused about the situation in front of them.
It was obvious that they were like two outsiders to everything that had just happened and had no idea what was going on.
Gu Shihan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She lowered her head and thought seriously for a moment, then raised her hands and carefully examined her body, not missing any details.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, her anxious heart finally settled down a little.
"Xingbai, Yutong, in my opinion, we might as well search this ice cave carefully. Maybe we can find some useful clues or discoveries from it!" Gu Shihan suggested.
At this moment, without any warning, the entire ice cave suddenly shook violently. Xing Bai screamed, "Hanhan, no! Run! This place is about to collapse!"
Hearing this, Gu Shihan didn't dare to delay even a moment. He used his body skills without hesitation and rushed forward along the only passage like a flash of lightning.
As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more bizarre.
The originally abundant spiritual power seemed to be sucked away by an invisible big hand, and gradually became thin in this short period of time.
After losing the constant support of spiritual power, Yu Tong's body immediately began to shake, her beautiful face was twisted in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, it was obvious that she was at the end of her strength, and was about to lose her human form.
Gu Shihan did not hesitate at all. He decisively stretched out his hand and quickly opened the mysterious space he carried with him.
With a flash of light, Yu Tong's figure instantly disappeared from the spot and was safely sent into the Yuehua bracelet.
Gu Shihan breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were still fixed on the surrounding environment, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Xingbai, judging from the current situation, this area outside is most likely still in that terrible place without any souls. Why don't you go back to the space and hide out for a while! This way, at least you can be guaranteed to be safe."
Xing Bai shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly: "Hanhan, you don't have to worry about me. Let me stay here with you! The two of us can not only take care of each other, but also in case of any emergencies or dangers, we can discuss countermeasures together! Isn't it?"
Gu Shihan felt the soft warmth on his hand, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
But at this moment, the situation was urgent and they could not afford to delay any longer. She nodded, hugged Xingbai, and ran forward desperately.
Behind them, there were deafening sounds of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, which made people shudder.
Gu Shihan discovered through his spiritual sense that the passage behind him was cracking inch by inch at an alarming speed. Countless huge blocks of ice fell from the sky and hit the ground like raindrops, filling the entire passage tightly.
It was unknown how long he had been running before Gu Shihan stopped in front of a valley, panting. The valley looked extremely desolate, with only a few sparse red and yellow bushes and nothing else.
The land in the valley was red and yellow, and one could feel its extreme barrenness at a glance. At this moment, Xing Bai, who had been following Gu Shihan, said, "Hanhan, although this place is not a place without spiritual energy, the spiritual energy here is extremely mixed, which is not conducive to cultivation at all."
Gu Shihan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with what Xing Bai said. She took a deep breath and said, "That's true, but fortunately, it doesn't affect me too much at the moment. Let's check around first and see if there is a way out."
After saying that, she carefully raised her foot and stepped onto the red and yellow land.
However, the moment his feet touched the ground, Gu Shihan was suddenly startled.
Because she clearly felt that something seemed to be slowly crawling under her feet.
He quickly lowered his head and looked carefully at the ground, but apart from the faint feeling of creeping under his feet, he did not find anything unusual.
Just like that, Gu Shihan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and continued to move forward.
There was really no way to retreat back. The passage was destroyed and the only consequence of retreating was being buried in the ice.
After walking about ten meters, the originally calm red and yellow land suddenly seemed to be given life and began to churn violently.
Then, a horrifying scene appeared - the red and yellow land turned into tens of thousands of small insects in the blink of an eye!
These little bugs rushed towards Gu Shihan and Xing Bai like a tide. Their movements were in unison and their goal was very clear. It was obvious that they were coming for the two of them. Seeing this, Xing Bai couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hanhan, no! This... This is a soul-eating bug!"
Hearing the words "Soul Devouring Insect", Gu Shihan was also horrified. You know, this Soul Devouring Insect is a terrifying existence in legend. It is said that it devours all living things. Any spiritual thing that it targets will eventually be devoured completely, without even a trace of soul left.
At this moment, he actually encountered such a horrible monster. For Gu Shihan, it was simply a bolt from the blue!
You know, there is no spiritual energy at all here. Even though Gu Shihan has many wonderful skills, he still seems helpless and clueless in front of these terrible soul-eating insects.
"What should I do?" Gu Shihan was worried and secretly complaining in her heart. She anxiously glanced at the growing number of soul-eating insects. At the same time, she gathered all the aura around her as quickly as possible and carefully hid Xingbai in her sleeve pocket.
Since I can't use my spiritual power, I might as well give up this idea! Gu Shihan made a prompt decision, quickly took out an isolation talisman and attached it to himself without hesitation.
In an instant, those originally aggressive soul-eating insects seemed to have suddenly lost their way and began to become chaotic and disorderly.
It turns out that this kind of soul-eating insect relies entirely on its keen perception of spiritual power and unique breath-tracking ability to find its target.
What is surprising is that these guys have neither spiritual consciousness nor visual organs such as eyes. They can only rely on touch and smell.
