Wang Ruo casually picked up a strange stone and examined it, then called out to the people who had moved forward: "Wait a minute, come and take a look at this."
Tang Chen picked up the stones that suddenly appeared on the ground and looked at them. Although she couldn't see anything, she felt that the stones seemed to be alive: "This, this thing seems to be really weird."
After carefully examining it, Wang Yanzhou was also bewildered. “…Looking at the quality of this stone, it shouldn’t be something found in the Qingliang Valley area.”
The moment Mo Yu touched those small stones, the stones seemed to come alive and suddenly jumped from the ground directly into his hands.
Seeing this, Mo Yu thought to himself, "Oh no! These aren't jade stones at all! Get out of here!"
The strange stones that should have been lying motionless on the ground suddenly began to move. The next second, as if a cicada had shed its shell, the jade cracked open, and insects shaped like cockroaches with antennae emitting dark red light crawled towards the crowd quickly.
When Tang Chen saw these bugs, his first reaction was to close his eyes and then, without caring about anything else, he stomped on the ground frantically: "Ahhh, so many cockroaches! Die, die, die, die!"
"These bugs are weird, be sure not to get bitten..." Before Wang Ruo finished speaking, all the poisonous creatures in the surrounding grass who didn't care about the world suddenly came out and ran towards them.
...Night slowly fell, and the circle of fire that Mo Yu had lit near them gradually began to die. Because of the fire, their area was still relatively safe for the time being. However, outside the fire, all they could see were various poisonous insects and cockroach-like creatures.
Tang Chen felt a little overwhelmed, a little nauseous, and a little terrified as he looked at the dense swarms of insects all around him. He said, "Why are there so many insects? What should we do when the fire is out?"
Wang Ruo looked at Mo Yu and said, "Little brother, you noticed something strange at first glance. I wonder if you know how to solve it."
Mo Yu held his forehead and shook his head. "I only know that these insects are afraid of fire. Also, if you step on them to death, their blood will attract poisonous insects from all directions. With such a large number of them, it won't be easy for them to escape."
After hearing this, Tang Chen realized how much trouble he had caused everyone with those subconscious kicks. If he was unlucky, he might kill everyone here. "I'm sorry, well, this thing looks so much like cockroaches, I couldn't help myself..."
Seeing Tang Chen like this, Wang Yanzhou quickly comforted him, "Ignorance is not a crime. Remember next time, don't use your hands or feet. Just use your feet."
Tang Chen quickly replied: "Yeah, yeah, no problem, no problem!"
...The sky gradually darkened, and in the circle of fire around everyone, the sparks that were originally jumping happily now looked like an old man in his twilight years, lifeless.
After changing clothes and washing up, Hong Yu followed the blood jade sensor in the direction of Tang Chen and the others. Looking at the sea of insects that appeared out of thin air in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "It seems that I am not looking in the wrong direction."
When the moon passed over the hill and the sunset gradually faded away, only sparks remained of the fire circle. The hay under their feet had long been used up.
Tang Chen watched as the bugs were approaching step by step. He could only squat down with the help of Wang Yanzhou in a panic, and encouraged the sparks: "Oh my God, kid, wake up, don't die, dear!"
Seeing the dire situation, Wang Ruo swung the white silk in her hand vigorously, and actually opened a passage for Wang Yanzhou to escape from the sea of insects: "Yanzhou, take your wife away first, quickly!"
Wang Yanzhou picked up Tang Chen and was about to take advantage of this opportunity to leave, but the passage that Wang Ruo had just cleared was instantly filled with countless poisonous insects: "Damn it!"
Just when they were in danger, a clear female voice came from not far away, accompanied by a red light: "Do you need help?"
Before everyone could see the voice and appearance of the person coming, a red dot in the woman's hand suddenly emitted a strong light in the dark night. Then, the red dot quickly passed through the sea of insects. When it returned to the woman's hand, the insects that had just made rustling and annoying sounds suddenly quieted down, as silent as death.
Everyone looked at the insects nearby and found that they didn't know what method the woman used, but all the insects died in an instant, and it seemed as if their blood had been sucked out and dried up by the wind.
Although this scene made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, they were more grateful at the moment: "Thank you, lady, for saving us!"
Tang Chen looked at the approaching woman with a wary expression. He raised the night-shining pearl in his hand and rolled his eyes at Wang Yanzhou. This time, it would have been fine. If she hadn't intervened, they would have been buried alive.
However, having said that, this young lady can look so beautiful under the strange light of the night pearl. Wang Yanzhou is really good. How many "good sisters" does he have behind his back?
Just when the pregnant woman Tang Chen was imagining what had happened between Wang Yanzhou and the woman in front of her, the woman's gaze went straight past Wang Yanzhou, as if she didn't know him at all.
After the woman saw that everyone was safe, she quietly disappeared the small red dot in her hand. "You don't have to thank me. I didn't mean to save you. I'm only looking for him."
The moment the woman pointed at Mo Yu, before Tang Chen and the other two could recover from their surprise, Mo Yu accidentally glanced at the blood jade on the woman's neck. He grabbed the girl's hand with murderous intent and asked coldly, "What did you do to that girl with this jade pendant?"
Hong Yu smiled provocatively and said, "Guess."
Mo Yujia increased the strength in his hand and asked again, "My patience is limited. Since you saved my life, I will give you an incense stick of time."
Hong Yu seemed oblivious to the pain in his hand. He looked at Mo Yu with some confusion and asked, "...You, really don't remember me?"
Mo Yu said firmly and confidently: "I have never seen you before. Now, it's your turn to answer my question."
Hong Yu had finally found Mo Yu, and now after hearing what he said, she felt even more aggrieved. How could she have the heart to explain to him what he wanted to know? "...I've been looking for you for so long, and you've forgotten me so easily, haha."
After that, Hong Yu didn't bother to harass her anymore. Like a loach, she broke free from Mo Yu before she could react. After Hong Yu was freed from his restraints, she walked away angrily with her hands folded.
