Chapter 13: The Battle of White Silkworm
Tang Beiju really couldn't stand Yu Hui's stupid master anymore.
As Yu Hui's only disciple, Tang Beiju was severely harmed by Yu Hui.
Yu Hui had his own ideas every day, which was fine, he could tolerate it, but!! Yu Hui’s experimental subject would always be him, which he absolutely could not tolerate!!
He was a nice, sunny, and youthful boy, but he was forced to become a quiet and silent little brat.
Early morning, in the bamboo forest.
"Beiju, look at how beautiful this lavender dress is. Why don't you try it on? Master will help you put on a beautiful hair accessory by hand. I guarantee you'll look stunning!"
"No! Stop it!"
"Don't refuse Master, let Master see the effect. Master promises that it will only take a moment, and after seeing it, I will let you change it back!"
"Get out of here! I don't want to wear it!"
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two men. No matter how Tang Beiju struggled, he could not resist Yu Hui's clutches.
Tang Beiju, who was only six years old, was forced by Yu Hui to dress up. At this time, she was wearing a light purple dress with white osmanthus buds embroidered on the corners, which was very beautiful.
His hair seemed to be casually tied into a loose bun, but Yu Hui had carefully inserted a light-colored osmanthus hairpin on the side, making it look particularly dignified and elegant.
It has to be said that as a stylist, Yu Hui is very qualified, but as a master, at least to Tang Beiju, he is quite a failure.
"Beiju, you're so beautiful!"
Yu Hui looked at the work he had created and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Yu Hui didn't know that this sentence was like a fuse, which directly blew away the last bit of Tang Beiju's sanity.
He pushed Yu Hui away fiercely and ran out while seeing Yu Hui's stunned look.
He ran aimlessly, and finally, he came to a forest.
"Where is this?"
The ignorant Tang Beiju looked at the pitch-black forest in front of him and asked in confusion.
The sun was scorching outside, and the sunlight was everywhere, forming a sharp contrast with the black mountains and forests.
"Beiju——"
Tang Beiju heard the sound of Yu Hui using his internal force to amplify his voice not far away. He was hesitant about whether to enter the forest, but he immediately stepped in with determination.
Yu Hui must be taught a profound lesson. Since he doesn't feel that Yu Hui will reflect on his behavior, he doesn't want to meet Yu Hui for the time being.
As he stepped into the forest, the scene in front of Tang Beiju was completely turned upside down. Everywhere he looked, it was pitch black. If Tang Beiju's eyesight was not good, he would not be able to see anything at all.
Tang Beiju's five senses unconsciously reached their highest level. He looked around vigilantly and walked forward cautiously.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. Tang Beiju subconsciously moved to the side and suddenly a strong wind blew from behind.
When the wind passed, he looked carefully and found that thick white silk suddenly appeared where he had been. Under his shocked gaze, it began to bubble, turn yellow, and finally dissipate little by little.
Tang Beiju broke out in a cold sweat. This pile of silk was corrosive. If it had not been dispersed just now, he would have died on the spot.
“Tsk—tsk—tsk—”
Following the direction of the silk attack, Tang Beiju looked back and saw a fat white silkworm suddenly appear in front of him.
This white silkworm was as tall as three adults put together, but its width was narrower than a child's palm. When it met Tang Beiju, it began to twist its body excitedly. Its body suddenly became very wide, looking like a huge white sphere.
Aiming at Tang Beiju, its mouth suddenly opened wide, and its eight long and sharp fangs were visible to the naked eye. The next second, it sprayed out a bunch of white silk lumps and attacked Tang Beiju directly.
As it sprayed, the white sphere instantly changed back to the same high but narrow shape as before.
Tang Beiju dodged the attack purely out of his survival instinct.
Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, the white silkworm became angry and roared to the sky. Suddenly, two furry red feet grew out of its tail. It twisted its body and began to run towards Tang Beiju.
Without any hesitation, Tang Beiju ran away, getting farther and farther away from his original entrance to the forest, which might also be the only exit.
The white silkworms spun silk while chasing Tang Beiju, and he escaped in a very embarrassing manner. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the dark trees around him, and an idea flashed in his mind.
He quickly took off the hairpin that Yu Hui had put on his hair, and used his internal strength to increase the strength of the hairpin. Then, he rushed to the nearest tree, fiercely inserted the hairpin into the stump, and used all his strength to pull the hairpin around the tree.
"ah--"
As if to cheer himself up, Tang Beiju roared to the sky. After confirming that the hairpin had completely circled the tree trunk, Tang Beiju withdrew his internal force, and the hairpin broke with a "click".
There was no time to mourn for the hairpin. When the white silkworm ran towards him, Tang Beiju pushed the tree trunk with both hands.
Pushed by Tang Beiju, the black tree split into two parts. The upper half was aimed at the white silkworm and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Unfortunately, the white silkworm was not blind and not stupid, and the black tree fell too slowly, so the white silkworm avoided it with a smooth slide.
The white silkworm is not stupid, and Tang Beiju is even less stupid. He certainly knows that a motionless tree alone cannot defeat the white silkworm.
While Baican was dodging, he quickly rolled himself on the ground several times to conceal his breath, then hid in the bushes, leaving only a pair of black eyes to observe in the pitch-black environment.
He had discovered long ago that this insect had poor eyesight.
Otherwise, with his current poor skills, how could he dodge so many attacks from Baican?
Holding his breath, he quietly observed the white silkworm. As he expected, after dodging the black tree's attack, the white silkworm wandered around but couldn't find him.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Beiju planned to return along the same route and leave the forest as soon as the white silkworms left.
It’s a pity that Tang Beiju underestimated Bai Can’s determination.
It had poor eyesight and it was difficult for it to find Tang Beiju, but it was very stubborn. It believed that Tang Beiju was nearby, so even if it couldn't find him, it refused to leave.
In order to wait for Tang Beiju to appear, it simply lay there motionless, waiting for Tang Beiju to give up and appear.
Time passed by unknowingly, and Tang Beiju couldn't help frowning.
As things stand now, the white silkworm has identified him. If he doesn't take action, he will probably be caught by the white silkworm and his life will be taken.
It seems that he must take the initiative.
Tang Beiju opened his left hand and looked down, only to see in the palm of his hand a hairpin that had been forced to break off after cutting down the tree. The broken end of the hairpin was even sharper than before.
This is his only offensive weapon.
While staring at the white silkworm intently and thinking of countermeasures in his mind, Tang Beiju's eyes finally lit up.
He watched the white silkworm carefully to prevent it from noticing his presence, and then began to secretly take off his clothes, leaving only his inner garment on.
Using the sharp part of the hairpin, he started cutting the dress bit by bit from the side, making the space of the dress larger.
Then he moved silently, picking up whatever leaves he could find around him and wrapping them in his dress.
After collecting everything, he took a deep breath and suddenly rushed out of the bushes.
When Baican heard the sound, he quickly looked in the direction of Tang Beiju and launched an attack at the same time.
Fortunately, Tang Beiju had experience in dodging before, and as he kept dodging, he got closer and closer to the white silkworm.
The white silkworm became anxious, and its attacks became more frequent and fierce, but it was avoided without exception.
"Hey, where are you looking?"
Tang Beiju's mocking voice came from behind. He ran along the white silkworm's back towards its head. The moment the white silkworm turned around, he aimed at its left eye and threw his broken hairpin.
The white silkworm felt pain and couldn't help but open its mouth and scream. At the moment when the white silkworm opened its mouth, Tang Beiju aimed at the throat of the white silkworm and quickly threw the large object - a pile of leaves wrapped in a dress - into it.
The white silkworm was stuck and couldn't get up or down. Tears flowed wildly, red tears from the left eye and white tears from the right eye, and they instantly fell to the ground.
In order to prevent accidents from happening, Tang Beiju took advantage of the victory and first stepped on Bai Can's other eye with his foot, and then used his small fist to beat Bai Can's head hard.
Even though the white silkworm was no longer making any sound, Tang Beiju still didn't dare to relax. He was very afraid that the white silkworm would suddenly wake up the next moment, and then he might be dead.
Only when he was completely exhausted did Tang Beiju collapse on the ground, gasping for breath.
However, before he could rest, he heard a faint sound from behind him.
“Hiss—hiss—hiss—”
Hearing the noise, Tang Beiju's body stiffened instantly.
He turned his head tremblingly, and time seemed to be paused at this moment. In front of him was a python twice as big as the white silkworm.
The python's eyes are silver vertical pupils, and its pure golden snake skin can glow, driving away all the darkness around it.
He's probably going to die here.
Tang Beiju couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to himself.
His only offensive weapon had been used up in the battle with the white silkworm;
Moreover, at this moment, he had no strength at all. Not to mention resisting, he couldn't even escape.
Suddenly I miss that stupid master Yu Hui.
In the short few seconds when the python rushed over, Tang Beiju's mind went blank, leaving only one thought.
If that idiotic Master Yu Hui knew that his disciple suddenly died in a strange place, would he be very sad?
In a certain forest, red blood plasma splattered everywhere and the smell of blood filled the air. Under the golden light of the snake skin, a strange color beauty of gold and red was created.
However……
The blood is not Tang Beiju's;
The blood comes from the python.
Yu Hui broke out of the python's body with a long sword in his hand. The moment he saw Tang Beiju, the ferocity in his eyes immediately faded away and turned into tenderness.
"Xiao Beiju, that was a close call! I almost ended up alone without any disciples."
Yu Hui smiled arrogantly and said with a grin as he kicked away the snake flesh and blood clots that blocked his way.
Tang Beiju looked at Yu Hui walking towards him step by step with a dull expression, as if he had not reacted at all to the sudden change in the situation.
Yu Hui quickly put away his sword and opened his mouth, ready to criticize the behavior of his only disciple, show off his mastery, and at the same time brag about how excellent and reliable a master he was.
The next second, Tang Beiju burst into tears.
Yu Hui was dumbfounded. He forgot all the lines he had just prepared and panicked in an instant.
He wanted to touch Tang Beiju with both hands, trying to stop him and comfort him, but he didn't dare to touch him. He was sweating profusely and panicked, stammering and apologizing:
"Ah ...
I promise that I will never let you wear women's clothes again - and I will never let you face so many dangers alone - anyway, please don't cry first, let's discuss something, okay -"
Yu Hui was panicked and anxious at this time, and his speech became incoherent.
Unfortunately, Tang Beiju didn't hear anything at all. He just kept crying, venting his fear of almost dying.
