Chapter 79 Reappearance of the Spatial Rift
With tears streaming down her face, Du Lingling looked pitifully at Bo Yiyan and said, "Fellow Daoist Bo, we were wrong. Please, spare our lives!"
She always prided herself on her looks, and whenever she put on this pitiful, tearful appearance, she could always soften the hearts of those hard-hearted male cultivators.
Unfortunately, the person she met was Bo Yiyan, who had grown up fighting his way through the apocalypse.
If it were his beloved woman, he might soften his heart if she shed a few tears, but Du Lingling was just a stranger on the street.
Seeing that Du Lingling's pitiful act couldn't sway Bo Yiyan at all, Qu Minghao quickly said:
"Fellow Daoist Bo, we were wrong. We shouldn't have been greedy when we saw that extraterrestrial meteorite. Please, spare our lives!"
We'll give you all the spoils from this secret realm. Please forgive us, considering we helped you make this fortune!
Bo Yiyan continued to look up at the sky, seemingly not having heard what he said at all.
Gong Feiyang, who had been largely ignored, couldn't help but plead, "Fellow Daoist Bo, we are willing to give you our personal storage rings, just for a chance to live."
Bo Yiyan remained expressionless, not even bothering to glance at him.
Finally, Zhou Wu, who had an honest-looking face, spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Bo, we have another treasure map, which we keep in the courtyard we rent."
"If you spare our lives, we are willing to hand over the treasure map to you."
However, Bo Yiyan still didn't speak.
Xi'er had already given Wujin and Wuyi the best healing potion, the kind that Bo Yiyan specially developed for the Ximo clan.
The two of them were barely breathing and had fallen into a deep sleep, and it was highly likely that they would not wake up for the next three months.
Xi'er finally looked up and coldly stared at the four prisoners, saying, "Fools! You've begged the wrong person!"
"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Fellow Daoist Bai, little aunt, we were wrong, please have mercy on us!" Qu Minghao hurriedly pleaded with her.
"You hurt my family, and now you're in my hands. You still expect me to show leniency?"
"My mother once said that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Do you think I'm that stupid?" Xi'er said coldly.
"Grandma, we really know we were wrong. We were just greedy for a moment. Look, we're being punished now. Can't you really spare our lives?" Du Lingling cried.
"Shut up, all of you! Let me think about how I should kill you!" Xi'er said fiercely.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been soft-hearted. Now, with these guys begging her so earnestly, she's afraid she might not be able to resist letting them off the hook.
But she was also very clear that if these guys got out alive, they would definitely reveal that she had obtained the extraterrestrial meteorite crystal, and then she would definitely be hunted down by those greedy people.
Only the dead can truly keep secrets, but having to personally kill four living people one by one seems a bit unsettling.
As she hesitated, she suddenly sensed a fluctuation beneath her feet. The feeling was familiar, as if space itself had been torn apart.
Before she could even think, she heard Hong Yuan's childish voice beside her: "Xi'er, run!"
The next second, Hongyuan transformed into a kitten and jumped onto her shoulder.
At the same time, Qilu, who had entered the small secret realm with Hongyuan earlier, also revealed his true form and enveloped Xi'er.
Bo Yiyan, who was gazing at the sky in a pretentious manner, quickly retracted the thousand strands of vines and casually wrapped a layer of spiritual energy protective shield around Xi'er.
Following the direction Hong Yuan pointed, Xi'er and Boyi ran at full speed, but a howling gale was already attacking them from behind.
Qu Minghao and the other three, who had been abandoned by them, also fled in a disheveled state. However, Du Lingling and Gong Feiyang, who had been seriously injured earlier, were slower and fell behind.
The advantage was that the gale didn't keep chasing them; instead, it stopped behind them.
When everyone looked back, they saw a hole about two zhang in diameter in the ground where they had previously dug out the spirit jade bricks.
Inside the cave, a strong wind was swirling, and everything was shrouded in a hazy grayness, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Qu Minghao and the other three had never seen a spatial rift before, and they were all stunned by what they saw.
Xi'er and Bo Yiyan didn't care about anything else and ran towards the exit of the little secret realm.
In this secluded realm, there are formations that restrict flight, so you can only travel on foot.
However, before they reached the bronze door at the exit, they heard a rustling sound behind them.
Xi'er turned around instinctively and saw a chilling scene!
Following behind Qu Minghao and his companions were countless insects, each larger than a Tibetan mastiff, wielding sharp claws and scattering haphazardly throughout the small secret realm.
Wherever they go, all the vegetation is devoured, not even poisonous weeds and wild grasses are spared!
Even more horrifyingly, they even gnawed the stone houses beyond recognition.
It's even more terrifying than a locust swarm!
Du Lingling, who was left at the back, was devoured in a matter of seconds, leaving not even a bone fragment. She didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Du Lingling's tragic state inspired Gong Feiyang's survival instincts, and he scrambled to his feet, barely managing to avoid the attack of the giant insect behind him.
The last thing Xi'er saw when she turned around was Gong Feiyang's terrified face, which was covered with tears.
He called out to his companions, but they were too preoccupied to pay him any attention. Zhou Wu, who had an honest-looking face, even kicked him mercilessly just as he was about to catch up.
Gong Feiyang fell to the ground and was quickly surrounded by four large insects that caught up with him. In just three minutes, he was devoured.
Such a cruel scene spurred everyone to flee for their lives. The moment Xi'er and Bo rushed out of the bronze gate, Qu Minghao and Zhou Wu followed suit.
The two continued running forward regardless, but Xi'er and Boyiyan turned around at the same time and slammed the bronze door shut.
Although they were unsure whether the bronze door would actually work, they still held onto a sliver of hope, wanting to keep these terrifying insects out of the small secret realm.
