As Xu Yuehuai spoke, he charged forward, intending to knock off the opponent's weapon first.
However, when the stone in her hand pierced the other person's arm, she discovered that his arm was even harder than ordinary precious stones, practically unbreakable.
She refused to believe it and continued to relentlessly attack the opponent's weaknesses.
However, even the vulnerable parts of the old man's body were "hardened".
He was like a man made of steel; ordinary weapons couldn't harm him at all.
"You're just wasting your energy."
"Why don't we sit down and talk this over properly? Which part of your body will you use to compensate me later?"
The old man smiled broadly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xu Yuehuai. In his eyes, she was like a treasure, something he would do anything to obtain.
"You want parts of my body? Why don't you just think about dying yourself!" Xu Yuehuai was absolutely not going to admit defeat. She didn't want to end up like this old man, with parts of her body missing and replaced with precious stones.
Can she still be considered a normal person after that?
"Fine! Fine! Since you're going to resist, then I'll make sure you lose the power to resist."
The old man got angry and casually waved his hand. Many tiny insects came out of his sleeve. The insects flew in the air and suddenly released a gas.
The gas gradually became denser, filling the entire dungeon. The atmosphere inside the dungeon became unbearable; it had a sour, foul smell, as if it were coming from a corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years.
"Cough cough cough!" Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but cough violently.
She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her handkerchief while continuing to attack the old man.
The old man neither dodged nor avoided the spot, standing there like a giant rock.
"You've managed to last this long, you must be in great shape."
"I'm even more interested in you now! Hahahaha!"
The old man waved his hand again, and then the insects actually arranged themselves into the shape of a large trumpet.
The large loudspeaker swung around in the air, and eventually flew straight towards Xu Yuehuai's head.
Xu Yuehuai waved his hand, trying to disperse the insects, but after they dispersed, they returned to their previous formation.
Immediately afterwards, the insects bypassed Xu Yuehuai's hands and came to her head, completely enveloping it.
"Ugh!" Xu Yuehuai could barely breathe at this moment, and her face was burning with pain.
A short while later, Xu Yuehuai's entire body turned green, and her skin swelled up, making her look like an inflated toad.
She also developed bumps all over her body, which looked terrible and disgusting.
If children saw this, I wonder if they would be scared away.
"Go away!" Xu Yuehuai grabbed the bug off her face with her bare hands and flung it to the ground beside her.
But after the insects fell to the ground, they twisted their bodies and flew up again, returning to her head.
The insects kept absorbing her blood, becoming plump and stronger.
"Your essence and blood are truly excellent nourishment."
“My insects say they are very happy and thank you for your hospitality.”
The old man paced around, happily watching his insects eat their fill.
"Greedy and indecisive," Xu Yuehuai mocked.
"Soon your semen will be at my disposal. You should enjoy this moment while you can, because there won't be another day like this." The old man laughed, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"Then let's see who doesn't have this day." Xu Yuehuai laughed, sending a chill down the old man's spine.
The next moment, the old man was so shocked that he took a few steps back and bumped into the wall next to him.
"Go! Kill him!" Xu Yuehua shouted, and the little insects suddenly fell off her face and flew towards the old man next to her.
"What? How could you possibly control my bloodthirsty worms?" The old man hurriedly waved his sleeves to drive away the worms, but they no longer obeyed his commands and treated him as an enemy.
"They absorbed my essence and blood, fell in love with my essence and blood, and just now they followed my advice. As long as they are of my use, I will use my essence and blood to nourish them from now on," Xu Yuehuai explained kindly.
"How can you talk to my blood-sucking worms?" The old man was shocked again.
"What's so difficult about that? Can't I use the power of the celestial beings very well? My physique is also much better than yours, alien races. If you are a superior race, then I am perhaps an even more advanced being." Xu Yuehuai was now starting to doubt her true birth.
Perhaps her family in the modern world was not originally from Earth, but descended to Earth from a higher plane.
That makes sense; it explains why their family is so powerful, why her physique is so strong, and why she could be summoned here from the modern world.
"No! I don't believe it! How could you possibly be a higher being than us? Only we are worthy to be the masters of this world! You are only fit to be our slave!"
The old man was covered in bites from bloodthirsty worms, and his voice was gradually being swallowed up.
“What’s impossible about this? You’re all short-sighted, thinking you’re the strongest, but that’s precisely your weakness. The success you’re hoping for will never be achieved as long as I’m here.”
Xu Yuehuai uttered a secret incantation to the bloodthirsty worms, and they instantly went berserk. They not only absorbed the old man's blood, but also used their sharp spikes to pierce through the gaps in Guishi's limbs, reaching the old man's flesh and bones, and devouring his bones and blood bit by bit.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the old man's precious stone artifacts fell to the ground like scrap metal, and his body was now just a skeleton with a few tufts of white hair floating on his head.
"Ugh—" Xu Yuehuai looked at the old man, whose body still had some flesh and bones left, and who didn't even bother to eat the bloodthirsty worms. His appearance was quite disgusting.
But the old man's body held too many secrets, and his corpse could definitely tell her a lot.
So Xu Yuehuai took a rag from the side, wrapped the old man's body in it, and threw it under the stone bed to hide it.
She planned to examine the corpse further after the remaining substances on it had decomposed. Meanwhile, the blood-sucking worms, having already fed to their fill, found a crevice and scurried inside.
After dealing with the trivial matters, Xu Yuehuai checked her own condition.
She had most of her life essence drained by the blood-sucking worms, and now she has some poisonous sores on her body that require urgent treatment to recover.
But she had just assassinated Bei Wei, so there was no way she could have gotten the medicine. She'd probably be sporting that face covered in red, swollen sores for the next few days.
"If only someone could give me Golden Lotus Grass, Ox Horn, Udon Flower... that would be wonderful." Xu Yuehuai fell into a deep sleep, muttering a string of medicine names in her sleep.
