This realization made Huo Chen feel even more helpless.
Quan Jue heaved a sigh of relief as he hugged Chi Jiao. He suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.
“Screech screech screech!” A strange, shrill noise suddenly echoed through the air. Large swaths of black poisonous bugs twisted and surged out from a gap in the statue. The bizarre sight made one’s hair stand on end and scalp tingle!
“Ugh… so disgusting.” Pei Yao looked at the worm-like creatures wriggling out like maggots. She couldn’t resist shuddering at the disgusting sight.
This revolting image could make one lose his appetite for three days straight!
“Holy f*ck, I have a phobia of such things!” Beitang Lie grabbed Pei Yao and Huo Chen and ran towards the exit of the cave. “What are you two waiting for? Do you really think you can teleport too?!”
“Screech screech screech!” The wave of poisonous bugs twisted their bodies and tried their best to surge towards everyone.
More poisonous bugs surged towards Quan Jue… no, to be more accurate, they were charging towards the stone in Chi Jiao’s hand.
Large swaths of the worm-like insects became entangled together to form a tall wave, sweeping over, and was just about to crash onto Chi Jiao and the rest.
A foul stench assaulted his senses, while the high-pitched screeching sounds pierced through Quan Jue’s eardrums.
The moment the bugs swarmed over, his mind stirred and he teleported away with Chi Jiao.
Boom—!
With a loud bang, the spot where the two of them had been standing was instantly engulfed by the wave of insects. In the blink of an eye, Quan Jue appeared in front of Beitang Lie and the other two.
Having sprinted the entire way, the three people who had finally managed to shake off the poisonous bugs behind them couldn’t help feeling envious of Quan Jue when they saw him overtake all of them so easily!
He could teleport. How enviable!
Still carrying Chi Jiao, Quan Jue ran at the front of the group. He turned and said to the other three, “The bugs’ target is the stone in Jiaojiao’s hand.”
“Give it to them!” Beitang Lie turned around and saw the bugs surging over. He couldn’t help shivering. “We have to sacrifice the stone to save our lives first! After we leave this place, I’ll go and bring over a few dozen kilograms of pesticide! We will destroy them all first, then we can snatch the stone back!”
“Not possible, she’s gripping it too tightly.” Quan Jue tried to take the stone from Chi Jiao’s hand, but she was clutching onto it too tightly. He was unable to remove it.
When the three of them heard this, they looked at the unconscious Chi Jiao. Indeed, she was gripping the stone so tightly that her knuckles had turned white!
Chi Jiao refused to let go of the stone even though she was unconscious. It could be seen just how important it was to her!
“They’re catching up to us!” Huo Chen saw that the bugs were rapidly closing the distance.
“Put your hands on me. Hold on tight,” Quan Jue said to the three of them.
The trio quickly grabbed his arm.
Quan Jue’s mind raced as he teleported nearly 20 meters away with the whole group, instantly pulling away from the bugs.
“Wow, awesome… ughhhh!” Before Beitang Lie could finish his praise, a wave of dizziness swept over him.. All three of them shuddered and vomited.
