Cultivators all have their own pride.
They would rather die while they are still of sound mind.
And don't let yourself become mentally unstable and remain in this cannibalistic place, committing all sorts of evil against your comrades.
Blue-green blood flowed all over the ground.
Sheng Ning blinked as she looked at the scene before her, and hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Until someone pulled her arm and used their body to block the scene in front of her.
"Junior sister, don't look."
A gentle, soothing voice sounded from above.
Sheng Ning felt a warm, large hand patting her back repeatedly, clumsily soothing her emotions.
Sheng Ning reached out and grabbed the collar of the person in front of her, whispering something to make the other person bend down to listen to what she was saying.
When I heard her muttering, "I will protect my senior brothers, and I will also protect... all good people."
A helpless smile appeared between Lu Jingshen's deep-set eyes.
"Junior sister only needs to protect herself; the senior brothers are capable of protecting themselves."
"In this vast world, there are always people who get hurt in places we don't know about. We can't be in two places at once. Since we can't do our best, we should strive to do better."
"Junior sister, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Be careful not to stunt your growth or become bald."
The soft strands of hair on the top of her head were gently patted twice.
Sheng Ning raised her hand and gently touched the top of her head twice.
“I know,” she said in a deep voice, “to lend a helping hand when possible.”
"Third senior brother, I'm not a child anymore."
Lu Jingshen looked down at his junior sister, who had just been crying uncontrollably in his arms, and now heard her say that she wasn't a child anymore.
A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Yes, Junior Sister is already a big girl who can protect her senior brothers."
Still immersed in grief, Sheng Ning: ...
"There are still some cocoons that haven't hatched yet, let's... deal with them together."
Lu Jingshen spoke these words with a solemn tone.
He would never have said such a thing unless there was truly no other way.
The fact that a cultivator could be turned into a moth is enough to prove the viciousness and cruelty of the person behind it.
Fang Chong had recovered from the grief of Gu Wuzhuo's departure.
He nodded, then looked up at the cocoons hanging in mid-air not far away. "They probably don't want to live in this world in that way either."
After Sheng Ning and Lu Jingshen worked together to open one of the ice layers, the three of them stepped forward together.
After seeing something wriggling inside the cocoon, Fang Chong drew his sword and cut open the bottom of the cocoon.
"Back off!"
Realizing that the creature inside the cocoon had been living in liquid before hatching, Fang Chong told Sheng Ning and the other to back off, but it was too late.
A bluish-green liquid splashed all three of them, and a foul stench filled the air.
With their sense of smell blocked, the three approached with torches and saw a white, jelly-like substance wriggling on the ground in the bluish-green liquid.
Seemingly sensing the air from outside, the jelly emitted a sharp hiss, and then it began to wriggle into a dark corner.
If you look closely, you can see a human head peeking out from the top of the jelly.
Perhaps because it had not yet fully transformed, the head still had human features, and the long hair on its head had not yet turned into tentacles.
However, after soaking in the liquid for a long time, its entire face swelled up, and its features were squeezed together.
When the jelly had crawled halfway up, it seemed to realize something.
It stopped moving and tried to look at Sheng Ning and the other two.
After confirming that Sheng Ning and the other two were human, its face immediately lit up with surprise. "Are they cultivators?"
"Are you here to rescue us? Please, take us out of here!"
"I feel so bad, I really feel so bad..."
This was not the first cultivator to ask Sheng Ning and his group for help.
But he was the first to show a strong expectation in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Fang Chong drew his sword and stepped forward.
His expression was calm, but the closer he got, the more excited the cultivator became.
"You—"
A sharp cry echoed from the ice cave.
Before the cultivator's excited expression had completely faded, Fang Chong severed his neck with a single sword strike, and at the same time, a look of terror appeared on his face.
But before the look of terror could fully appear on his face, he breathed his last.
Once it happens, it will happen again.
Fang Chong used his longsword to cleave open each cocoon in succession. As soon as the cultivator inside fell to the ground, his longsword would sever their heads without hesitation.
Until the last cocoon was split open and the last monk's head was severed, his body was already stained with a foul-smelling bluish-green liquid.
He raised his head in the darkness, the torchlight illuminating his face and adding a touch of sinister intent to his expression.
Fang Chong raised his hand and made a cleansing spell, then came to Sheng Ning and the other person again, his voice hoarse, "Let's go."
Sheng Ning watched him walk out of the ice cave without hesitation, glanced back at the corpses scattered on the ground, and then followed in his footsteps with Lu Jingshen.
There is no cocoon of Xie Wenxuan in the ice cave on the far right.
This news was at least somewhat good for Sheng Ning and the other two.
I wonder how Su Daiyuan and the others are doing now that they've entered the middle fork.
If they also encountered these cultivators transformed into moths...
Sheng Ning frowned and immediately quickened her pace with Lu Jingshen.
Before the three of them could get close to the middle fork in the road, they heard the sounds of weapons clashing.
Holding their torches, the three men looked at each other and then walked over to the source of the commotion.
Upon seeing this scene, Sheng Ning's eyes twitched involuntarily.
"Senior Brother? What are you doing...?"
Su Daiyuan, who was fighting with a wild rose that had just emerged from the ground, turned his head to look after hearing the voices.
In the blink of an eye, the tyrant flower opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow his head whole.
"What kind of monster dares to covet my senior brother?!"
Lu Jingshen was clearly terrified by this man-eating flower that was about to devour people.
When he saw the Tyrant Flower about to swallow Su Daiyuan's head, he immediately pulled out his Gatling gun and started shooting at the Tyrant Flower.
The Overlord Flower had never seen such a powerful magical weapon before. The bullets were fired at too high a speed and in too many quantities. It was quickly overwhelmed and collapsed to its knees.
"Hero, spare my life!"
The situation took such a rapid turn that Lu Jingshen and the other two didn't even have time to react.
Seeing the 'Overlord Flower' kneeling on the ground, pleading 'Hero, spare my life!', the moment Sheng Ning's features contorted in pain, the 'Overlord Flower' shot towards him like a cannonball.
"Damn it! You tried to ambush me? You can't take this lying down!"
The Queen of the Night flower moved so fast that the instant Sheng Ning pulled out her laser cannon, it had already enveloped her with its enormous leaves.
Sheng Ning's curses were muffled and echoed, a scene that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
