Worms Surging in the Dark

The venomous worms swarmed toward them like undertides. They were sandwiched by the Gu vessel in the front and a stone wall behind them, blocking their way out. The whole bunch of people scurried around but they could not find a way to steer clear from the venomous worms.

"Argh, Brother Yi Jun! Is it true that I won't be able to return if I get bitten by these venomous worms!" Fang Lingzi grabbed onto the businessman's arm and wailed.

"... No… No, don't worry." The businessman comforted Fang Lingzi and patted her head.

In the blink of an eye, many types of insects, snakes, and scorpions crept up toward them, baring fangs and brandishing claws. The venomous snake flicked its tongue and drove all of them against the stone wall.

'Crack… Crack…' The Gu worms crawled out from Xiao Ya's body and made cracking sounds when they passed through the joints. She walked toward Bai Wu and the others stiffly in a manner similar to shadow puppetry.
