After hearing my suggestion, the girl was puzzled.
I know she must have been taken aback when she heard those words.
But with the gap about to close, I had absolutely no time to think anymore!
We can only try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Since the girl was able to make this ancient man hesitate and remain silent for a short time, and even created an opportunity for us to make a move, there is still hope for this matter.
My thought is that if he can also successfully persuade this fat man, our chances of escaping will be much greater.
Just like we dealt with that ancient man before, we can keep him frozen in place, unable to move, and then walk straight into the crevice. That will solve everything.
Otherwise, with this big fat guy interfering, I estimate we would never have been able to get even half a step closer to that gap!
If you get even a little bit closer, that guy might charge at you...
Let alone escaping from here.
"elder brother……"
The girl's tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
"You don't need to worry about safety. You go first, and Lei Jijian and I will cover the rear."
If this guy really gets physical with us, we'll have no choice but to fight him head-on!
I suspect the girl was afraid that the guy might suddenly lose control of her and break free, which would affect the whole plan.
However, it seems that this is probably the best option right now.
After thinking about it carefully, if our timeline is correct, then it should be afternoon right now.
After so much time has passed, it's probably almost evening.
However, since we are currently in this locked room, we have no way of knowing what time it is.
As for my phone, it has had no signal since I entered this secret room, and the compass just keeps spinning when I turn it on.
I am well aware that there is definitely a very powerful magnetic field here, and it is vastly different from the outside world.
But I am certain of one thing: as long as the time moves toward dusk or evening, the energy in the girl's body will become stronger and stronger!
If night falls, the girl's strength will be more than enough.
But now, I'm afraid we won't make it to that point.
But it seems that even if the three of us were to go toe-to-toe with this fat guy, we probably wouldn't suffer too much loss. However, the road ahead will be much more difficult.
We can't be sure if the girl's manor is behind this gap.
If it's something else, I won't be able to explain it...
I told the girl all my thoughts, and at that moment, the lightning generated by the lightning sword gradually weakened.
I can feel this enormous light, but it probably won't last much longer.
Just then, the monster started spinning around in place, waving its hands wildly, as if trying to find light.
But no matter how hard he tried, the light of the lightning sword was omnipresent.
The fat man probably never imagined that what he was seeing was a faint, ethereal light, not a physical entity.
I stared intently at the girl again.
Yiyi lowered her head, pondering to herself.
Finally, she spoke slightly.
"Brother, the method you mentioned does indeed have some merit..."
To be honest, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that our enemies aren't just this fat guy anymore!
I'll try to persuade him then. Whether it works or not is another matter, but what are we going to do with these bugs…”
The girl was very puzzled, then glanced at me again and pointed to the white worms that were still wriggling on the ground.
I looked down and felt a wave of nausea wash over me.
Yes, the lightning sword turned the light up to the maximum, illuminating the secret room.
This place is much brighter than the dim, yellowish light we just saw.
I almost forgot that after this fat man came out of the mural, he was unknowingly spreading his own seeds everywhere.
Now, every two steps we take, we'll be near a pit of insect eggs.
That feeling was truly terrifying.
Even if we manage to keep this fat guy in place, how will we deal with these bugs?
They came specifically for the two of us...
Right now, in their eyes, the girl and I are probably just two rotting corpses, the kind they can easily eat!
I don't want those bugs crawling all over me to come back...
That feeling was really upsetting me.
Although these insects don't directly bite our bodies, I have a feeling that they are sizing us up, ready to open their mouths at any moment.
Just like snake enthusiasts, once the snake stands straight in front of its owner, it means that the snake is ready to eat people!
That wasn't about striking a unique pose; it was about assessing whether one could actually devour the prey before them!
While the rotting worms weren't quite as vile, I could clearly sense that these creatures were exactly like the snakes measuring me!
Perhaps what they are measuring is not length, but quantity!
Just how many larvae would it take to drain me dry in one go!
Thinking of this, I pinched my right hand again, and the dragon scale claw, which hadn't fully recovered, seemed indeed unlikely to be of much use at this moment...
Even the dragon scales on it looked like just a few scattered dots, and from a distance, they looked like goosebumps.
No, if I throw this punch now, it won't have any offensive power at all...
I need time, I need an open space, to recover slowly!
Lend me some of the power of the sea marrow within me!
"And this pink energy you possess..."
I couldn't help but bring this up.
I obtained it by chance at the Riverside Hotel, and I never expected it would actually come in handy today.
I hadn't considered the energy the girl received before, but now it seems it might actually be able to help us a little.
"Brother, do you mean I should use it to repel insects?"
The girl spoke.
I nodded, and then added...
"If we can temporarily disperse all these insects, we will have a chance."
Although I knew perfectly well that this bug was very fast!
I couldn't help but gasp at the speed at which the insects moved beneath my feet.
At this moment, these disgusting insects were all lying curled up in their nests.
However, it is clear that they are slowly conserving their energy.
It seems like these guys are just waiting for the right opportunity to escape this den.
