Yu Hen's words were not exaggerated at all. Gong Zi Yan naturally understood how dangerous their current situation was. He immediately looked at Cai Er and asked, "Will there be any effects if you eat these things?"
Cai'er's expression suddenly changed. Ate these disgusting things? Master, are you sure you want to play this joke on us?
Gongzi Yan saw her expression and knew something was going to happen. "Since it won't cause any trouble to you, you'll have to work hard. These maggots also have different levels. They have spiritual cores in their brains. Although their levels are too low, a mosquito-sized one is still meat, right?"
Having said that, regardless of Cai'er's expression, he immediately released all his five pets. In addition to the phoenix, Gongzi Yan also owned a spirit fox, a leopard, a giant python and a giant eagle, almost covering all the pets on land, sea and air. Of course, the one soaking in the sea water was not fish but the giant python.
At Master Yan's command, these spirit pets had to obey their master's wishes no matter how much they hated it, and began to sweep around madly. Yu Hen followed suit and released his four spirit beasts.
Although a little less than Gongzi Yan's, it was more refined. With the nine-headed spirit beast and two masters above the white rank, the dense swarm of maggots was blocked outside the protective circle in an instant.
But this is only temporary after all, because sooner or later the spirit pets will have to fill their stomachs. After all, the number of these maggots is really too considerable, and they can also burrow into the ground, so they can penetrate every hole.
In just one hour, both the people and the spirit pets were exhausted.
This was the first time that Gongzi Yan felt the advantage of numbers. No matter how high your level is, you will always get tired. Once you relax, the consequences will be hard to control.
Just like now, under the relentless pressure of the maggot tide, Gongzi Yan and Yu Hen had to put away their pets and leave behind a flying beast, floating in the small air above the cave. Soon, the place where they were standing was covered with white maggots.
The maggots, unable to find their prey, actually spread upwards along the walls of the cave little by little. Gongzi Yan frowned.
"I'm afraid this won't work. We have to leave here. Look, those things didn't even leave the cave. Are they restricted?"
Yu Hen finally had time to observe the entrance of the cave. He was also shocked when he saw it. "They really didn't spread out. Could it be that these things originally lived in this cave?"
When Yu Hen thought about the place where they had just sat and stood, where those fleshy things had once crawled, he felt his stomach begin to churn. Tsk, they are worthy of being master and disciple. Why are they studying these disgusting things?
"Whether it is or not, let's go check it out first."
Unfortunately, before they could reach the door, they were bounced back by a huge force. Yu Hen reached out and touched the invisible barrier, then turned his head with a look of regret: "There really is a barrier, and we are trapped inside!"
Gongzi Yan stroked his chin and looked for a while, his eyes involuntarily falling on the ice layer that was already covered by maggots: "Yuan'er is protected by that layer of ice, so there is no problem for the time being. What do you think, can we follow suit?"
Yu Hen's pupils suddenly lit up. Ice layer? Oh, what a coincidence! He really has a pet that can create ice. Thinking of this, he quickly released the adult ice fox.
But after understanding the situation, Ice Fox scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's no problem to create a thick layer of ice, but I'm afraid that after you are frozen, you will be clamped by the other party. Moreover, will these maggots really retreat because of your disappearance?"
Yu Hen and Gong Zi Yan exchanged glances and said, "Now, we have no other choice but to give it a try."
A quarter of an hour later, two huge blocks of ice fell from the sky and instantly smashed the fleshy maggots below into meat paste.
After the tempting meaty aroma in the air disappeared, the maggots began to get restless and even made dull whimpering sounds. Gongzi Yan and Yu Hen, who were hiding under the ice, were still conscious. They frowned and observed the movements outside through the ice.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the maggots still had no intention of retreating. Then the two men realized that these ugly things must require a command. They frowned at the same time. Now, things became difficult to solve.
Just like that, one day, two days, three days, and after seven full days passed, Hong Meir felt that the time was about right, so she waved her hand and removed the formation for Cave No. 2. She thought she would see two piles of bones, but what she never expected was that, let alone bones, even the maggots that she had carefully raised for many years disappeared one by one.
If there weren't a lot of maggots and flesh left on the ground, she would have thought she had just had a dream.
After observing the cave carefully, she found that the ice man piled there before was gone. The whole cave returned to its state when there were no visitors. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own breathing clearly.
She slapped the stone next to her, and the stone turned into powder in an instant. "What happened? Where is the person?"
Hong Meir's anger overflowed, and the mutant closest to her was the first to be blown away. When they finally crawled over, they were kicked away one by one. However, no one said a word because they didn't know what was going on here.
The fact that they were able to disappear without anyone noticing under the control of their Palace Master was enough to show that the other party was not as weak as they imagined.
Hong Meir was furious and immediately ordered a carpet search of the entire island. She didn't believe that these people could turn into insects and fly away.
The terrain under the island was complex, and with her mutant piranhas there, she wasn't worried at all that they would be stupid enough to burrow into the sea.
They couldn't fly out because she had placed a ban on Cave No. 2. Once there was any movement, she would immediately discover it. In order to prevent these people from playing tricks on her, even though she had left Cave No. 2, she did not forget to seal it again.
Now, the entire island is under her control, so where is the person she has been searching for so long?
Yes, that's right. At the most critical moment, Gongzi Yan and Yu Hen were dragged into the space by Ling Yuan along with the Ice Man.
The moment she entered the space, Yu Hen was forced to faint, and her ice layer Lingyuan did not help her to remove it because she had more important things to do now.
Gongzi Yan was still conscious and witnessed it all. When she saw the densely packed maggots that had filled her entire space, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
Although she sensed her sister's presence, she couldn't find her sister. Even when dense tentacles emerged from the blue lake and sucked all the maggots into the lake one by one, her already pale face became even paler.
The maggots that originally filled the entire space miraculously began to disappear as time passed. For some unknown reason, the maggots moved towards the blue lake in a very orderly manner. As they continued to go deeper, the maggots gradually disappeared.
Hundreds of thousands of maggots were swept away by those unknown tentacles, and it took only two hours to completely consume them.
Even the color of the lakes has become bluer because of this, and there seems to be no sign of pollution.
Gongzi Yan was depressed. He discovered his sister's space for the first time. It was so magical!
Yes, when it comes to Lingyuan, where is Lingyuan? Why didn't she see her since she came in?
Her breath was clearly so close to her, but she just couldn't be seen. Were they able to escape safely because of Ling Yuan's help?
That lake...
It seemed that it had not appeared before. When did such a lake appear?
There were too many doubts in his mind and his eyes were wide open with curiosity, which made him quickly tired. In a good and safe space, the exhausted Gongzi Yan gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Without her knowing, the space suddenly turned black, and the sky and the earth began to shake violently. As the vegetation was forcibly moved back and the medicinal fields increased, the luster of the lake changed from the initial complex and changeable to gradually becoming single, until it stopped fluctuating at the ink color.
And under the blue water layer, the graceful tung tree body tightly wrapped by vines was gradually transported to the surface of the lake. As the layers of vines dispersed, a beautiful white body emitting a faint warm light was revealed.
The beauty's body was as delicate as that of a baby's, her skin as charming as ice and jade, and her face as beautiful as a fairy, which made Xiao Bingyi, who had approached her at some point, gasp.
Gradually, the beauty's eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly opened.
When her unfocused eyes gradually focused on one point and she regained her spiritual consciousness, Little Ice Wing immediately ran to a small hut not far away, sorted out a set of clothes for her and brought them over: "Master, put on your clothes quickly!"
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment. When her eyes focused on her naked body, she instinctively let out a sharp scream: "Ah..., you little hooligan, get out of my way!"
The corners of Xiao Bingyi's mouth twitched violently. He wanted to say that he was not a hooligan, but after seeing Ling Yuan grabbing his clothes to protect them again and again, he could not help but curl his lips. His smart eyes turned, and he stretched out his claws to cover his eyes and turned his back.
Ling Yuan's chest rose and fell inexplicably because of nervousness, but the feeling of slight pressure on her chest made her subconsciously look at her chest. After realizing that her original pair of little white rabbits seemed to have turned into big rabbits overnight, she screamed again.
God, what on earth had she been through?
Looking left and right, she felt skin as delicate as cream. The touch of this skin seemed different from before?
What was going on? Why did her body undergo so many changes when she woke up?
Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily fell on the lake not far away which seemed to be even bluer than when she had seen it before. Was it because of the vines in it?
Ling Yuan quickly put on her clothes and immediately ran to the front of the lake to look, but she didn't see anything else. Instead, she saw a stunning face that could capture people's souls at first sight.
This is her face? How is it possible?
The human skin mask on her face had been removed at some point, revealing her originally good looks. However, when I looked at her again today, I found that her appearance seemed to have been much more refined than before. She is so beautiful, isn't she?
Is this really her?
What exactly happened?
Could it really be those vines?
In her dream, she seemed to be swept into a lake, and gradually she lost consciousness.
Could it be that during this period, the vines repaired some defects that she could not see?
What on earth is this lake that suddenly appeared?
Just when Ling Yuan was sitting on the grass staring at the lake in a daze, Xiao Bingyi rolled his eyes and appeared in front of her unhappily: "When you have time to think about random things, shouldn't you pay attention to me, the space guardian?"
Ling Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she pulled Xiao Bingyi over, "Yes, yes, how could I forget about you? Quick, tell me, what's going on? Why did I feel a lot more relaxed when I woke up? Not only my skin, but also my body and appearance, I feel like I have been reborn?"
"Nonsense, your heart and skin have been repaired by the spiritual vine, how can you not be good? How can you not be beautiful? Let me tell you, you have to enter the lake water every once in a while to purify yourself. Well, in layman's terms, you need to cleanse your essence and marrow. However, the spiritual power of the spiritual vine is also limited. You need to replenish it with energy so that it can continuously give you energy."
Spiritual vine?
Ling Yuan's eyes flickered, "So it is the Lingteng, then..., what is it like now?"
"It has fallen asleep. Next time, I will need the spirit core to wake it up."
