A chill ran through her; it was all over!
She had been afraid of this happening before, but there was nothing she could do but take this gamble.
Unfortunately, the bet was lost.
It is foreseeable that Zuan will soon be killed by the opponent's counterattack, and the three of them will also find it difficult to escape the pursuit.
Even if they manage to escape temporarily, having learned their lesson, the Scaled Death Worm will not be so easily fooled again.
As long as it hides its body in the soil and doesn't come out, who can hurt it?
The scene that followed was predictable: it remained hidden in the soil, waiting for its chance to strike. They could only passively defend themselves, dealing with one sneak attack after another, until finally, they made a mistake and were swallowed up by it.
Yan Xuehen had obviously thought of this as well, and glared at Yun Jianyue fiercely: "The stuff you teach is so unreliable, it's ruined Zu'an!"
Faced with the accusations from her arch-enemy, Yun Jianyue had no intention of refuting them for the first time; she simply focused her attention anxiously on the direction where Zu'an was.
Just then, the scaled death worm moved, suddenly turned around, and bit down on the spot where Zaun was.
However, Zaun had already summoned a strong wind to teleport several feet backward, leaving a bunch of bottles and jars behind.
Just then, the Scaled Death Worm bit down and swallowed all the bottles and jars whole.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue frowned in unison. Could it be that Zu An was planning to poison it?
They could naturally tell that the Death Worm was a highly poisonous creature with extremely high poison resistance, and that no poison could probably harm it.
Yu Yanluo was even more worried, because she had personally witnessed the Venomous Child being bitten to death by a dead worm. At that time, the Venomous Child was on the verge of death, and various highly poisonous substances could not be used to treat him.
The Venomous Child's poison skills were unparalleled; the other creature that bit it was just an ordinary dead worm, which couldn't poison it, let alone the more powerful mother worm.
No wonder the death worm, despite clearly sensing the medicine bottles, swallowed them without flinching; it probably ate them as a tonic.
Just then, Zu'an appeared beside the girls, grabbed their hands, and started running like the wind: "What are you looking at? Run!"
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were both startled, their pretty faces flushing slightly. Fortunately, neither could see the other in the darkness.
They hurriedly shook off Zu An's hands. The two of them had already recovered a certain level of cultivation, and with the foundation of a Grandmaster, their speed was not much slower than his.
Zu An didn't take it to heart. He was just wondering how to take Yu Yanluo with him. When he ran to her side, his hands were free, so he simply grabbed her and ran.
Yan Xuehen noticed their movements and suddenly felt a pang of regret, but she quickly came to her senses: "At our current speed, we probably can't escape the pursuit of that death worm!"
As she was talking, she suddenly froze, because she was surprised to find that the dead worm had not chased after her, but was instead writhing wildly in place.
The group ran to a safe location before stopping. Yan Xuehen pressed, "What poison did you give that strange insect? Why does it seem to be showing signs of poisoning?"
Yu Yanluo also mentioned the story of the poisonous boy, which made the girls even more curious.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they pressed for details, Zuan remained vague.
Finally, even Yun Jianyue got a little angry: "Aunt, we are now in the same boat, and we have not hidden anything from you. Why are you hiding it from us?"
For the first time ever, Yan Xuehen stood on the same side as her, and the two of them passed on their unique skills to him, but he didn't even tell the truth about that.
Anger from the moon in the clouds +100 +100 +100...
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +100 +100 +100...
Yu Yanluo explained on behalf of Zu An: "Seniors, please don't misunderstand. Zu An is not that kind of person. If he doesn't say it now, it must be because he has some unspeakable reason."
Hearing her words, Yan Xuehen's face grew even colder, and Yun Jianyue snorted, "So you're the good guy and we're the bad guys?"
Yu Yanluo also felt wronged. She subconsciously believed Zu An and was worried that he would be misunderstood, so she spoke up to explain. As a result, the two of them treated her as the kind of scheming woman.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Zuan had no choice but to say, "I can tell you, but you can't get angry."
"Your medicine worked on that dead worm, so why should we be angry?" Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were both puzzled.
“Alright,” Zuan finally said, “the medicine I just threw into its mouth was ‘Bull’s Milk,’ ‘Spring Breeze Eighteen Degrees,’ and ‘Forget-Me-Not Water’…”
Yu Yanluo gasped, her cheeks flushing crimson. She had been a victim of bull's milk, and the memory made her wish she could disappear into the ground.
Yan Xuehen looked bewildered: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Given her status and her aloof, icy demeanor, who would dare mention these medicines in front of her?
On the contrary, although Yun Jianyue also had a very high status, she was, after all, from the Demonic Sect and had seen all sorts of people. Upon hearing this, she spat and said, "They are all low-class aphrodisiacs!"
"Huh?" Yan Xuehen was also dumbfounded, and her crystal-clear skin was covered with a faint blush.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +198 +198 +198...
Feeling her angry gaze, Zu'an couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Yun Jianyue's voice rang out again: "The word 'low-class' isn't quite right. These medicines are the top-tier medicines in this field, and their effects are hundreds or thousands of times greater than other similar medicines... You brat, with so many of these medicines on you, you really are a womanizer."
She felt somewhat fortunate. She had felt guilty for cruelly breaking up the couple before, but now she realized how right it was. Otherwise, Hong Lei would probably have already fallen victim to his cruelty.
