Chapter 160 It's Too Late

As the insects were completely devoured by the sea of ​​fire, peace temporarily returned to the cave.

Jia Luo, Wen Lingyue, Wan Yan and the young man in white continued to walk cautiously deeper into the cave, their expressions still solemn.

Soon after, they finally arrived at the place where the corpse was placed.

The sight before my eyes was horrifying. Countless corpses were piled together, some still maintaining their struggling postures before death. It was obvious that they had suffered great pain during their lifetime.

Jia Luo's eyes were red, his heart was full of reluctance and grief, Wan Yan also had a solemn look on his face, Wen Lingyue couldn't help but vomit, and the young man in white lowered his head silently.

After looking for a while and finding no other insects, they returned to the forest. Wan Yan took out his cell phone and called the police, explaining the situation to them.

Not long after, the police arrived at the scene.

Wan Yan and others handed over the collected evidence to the police one by one and described what happened in detail.

The police expressed their gratitude and praise to them, and then began to deal with the follow-up matters.

Several people looked at the busy figures of the police and breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis was finally over, and the mountains and forests returned to their former tranquility.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Wan Yan said.

Jia Luo turned to look at the boy in white and said in a childish voice, "Big brother, what about the insect on your body?"

The young man in white chuckled and looked into the distance: "The Gut King is dead, and all the Gut insects on my body are dead too!"

"So what are your plans?" Jia Luo asked.

"From now on, I will stay here and protect this forest!" The young man in white said with a firm gaze: "My master has done many wrong things, and I want to make up for the sins she has committed."

Jia Luo nodded without saying anything.

Wan Yan also patted the young man in white on the shoulder to show his agreement.

The young man in white smiled slightly and looked at Jia Luo, with a hint of warmth in his eyes: "Come and see brother when you have the chance in the future!"

Jia Luo nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely come to see you! I ask you to take care of every plant and tree here."

Wan Yan looked around. The forest was now quiet and peaceful, completely different from the eerie and terrifying one before.

He sighed: "After going through so much, it's time for this forest to rest and recuperate. Perhaps, it won't be long before this forest will be able to regain its vitality."

Wan Yan looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We really should leave. We'll see each other again in the future."

The young man in white watched them leave until their figures disappeared at the end of the forest path, then he turned around and slowly walked deeper into the forest.

Jia Luo, Wen Lingyue and Wan Yan walked down the same way they came. Da Hua squatted on Wan Yan's shoulder, closed his eyes and rested. Jia Luo was rather silent along the way.

Seeing this, Wen Lingyue comforted him, "Lolo, everyone has his or her own mission. When we come next time, this forest may look completely different!"

Jia Luo nodded slightly and said, "Dad, I know!"

Wan Yan also said: "This is also his choice, but we can come and see him more often if we have the chance in the future."

The three of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it, it had gotten completely dark.

A thin mist gradually filled the mountains and forests, adding a sense of mystery.

They quickened their pace, groping forward on the mountain road relying on their memories and the faint moonlight.

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound coming from the woods ahead. The three men immediately became alert, stopped, and gripped their weapons tightly.

Wan Yan looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Everyone be careful, there might be something wrong."

Jialuo blinked his big watery eyes and stared ahead.

After a while, a fawn came out from the woods, saw them, and ran away in panic.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at each other, and continued on their way.

Finally, they walked out of the forest, and when they got into the car again, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people drove back to the hotel, threw their things on the ground, and fell into bed and fell asleep without even having time to eat.

I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly, Jia Luo was awakened by a sudden movement. She opened her eyes in a daze and found a yellow talisman paper floating slowly onto her pillow.

Jia Luo woke up instantly, sat up alertly and picked up the talisman.

There was only a faint light flashing on the talisman paper. Jia Luo reached out to take it. Two words gradually appeared on the talisman paper: "Return soon."

Jia Luo felt uneasy, and she quickly ran to Wan Yan's room and woke him up: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, wake up!"

Wan Yan asked in a daze: "Lolo, what's wrong?"

"Contact the senior brother quickly to see if anything happened to him."

When Wan Yan heard this, he lost all sleepiness instantly. He immediately took out his cell phone from the bedside and dialed his senior brother's number with trembling fingers.

There were long beeps from the other end of the phone, but no one answered. Every beep was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of both of them, and anxiety spread throughout the room.

"No, something must have happened to senior brother, we have to go back immediately!" Jia Luo was so anxious that his eyes turned red and his voice sounded a bit tearful.

"Lolo, what happened?"

Jia Luo choked up and said, "Just now, Senior Brother sent me a message using a sound transmission talisman, asking me to return quickly!"

Wan Yan's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Only two words?"

Jia Luo nodded vigorously, still sobbing.

"Wait, I'll call Shimo and ask!"

Wan Yan quickly found Shi Mo's number in the address book and dialed it.

There was a constant "beep, beep" sound from the other end of the phone, but no one answered.

"Looks like something really happened. Go and wake up Uncle Wen, pack up, and we'll go back!"

Jia Luo hurried to Wen Lingyue's room, knocked on the door and shouted, "Dad, get up quickly, something happened!"

Wen Lingyue woke up from his sleep, opened the door quickly, and saw Jialuo's face covered with tears. He asked anxiously: "Luluo, what's going on?"

Jia Luo told him what had happened while sobbing. Wen Lingyue's expression turned serious and he immediately turned around and started packing his luggage.

At this moment, the sky outside was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the impending unrest.

Wan Yan stood in front of the window, looking out, secretly worried.

After a moment, he turned around and said, "I always feel that this matter is not simple. We can't contact Senior Brother and Shi Mo. I'm afraid the situation is more serious than we thought."

Jia Luo bit her lips and began pinching them quickly with her little hands. After a while, her face became paler.

"Lolo, how is it?" Wan Yan asked anxiously.

"It's a dead end!" Jia Luo said with a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear.

"I calculated that Senior Brother is in a desperate situation this time, with little chance of survival. This is an extremely dangerous sign! Master is not in Jiangdu now, what should we do? Yes, find Junior Brother, let him go!"

When Wan Yan heard the news, he quickly called Wen Zhi, but no one answered Wen Zhi's phone.

Wan Yan called Wen Zhi several times in succession, but the only response he got was the cold busy tone. Each call was like a funeral knell ringing in the abyss of despair, making people's hearts sink to the bottom.

Wen Lingyue frowned, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Don't panic, let's think of other ways."

Wan Yan gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Something is wrong. Senior Brother and Junior Brother have lost contact at the same time. This is very wrong. We must hurry back as soon as possible."

Jia Luo looked out the window. At this moment, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain was pouring down.

The little baby said in a trembling voice: "It's too late!"
