Chapter 2802: Chapter 2803: Battle with Gufeng
"Ruozhu, what happened?" Fen Jiu asked anxiously.
"It should be nearby, it can only find its way here," Bai Ruozhu said.
"Everyone should split up and search nearby. If anything happens, call out loudly. Don’t go too far," Jiang Yichun said.
He and Bai Ruozhu hadn’t been searching for long when they suddenly heard Yuan Licheng and Fo Lanying’s cries, "Quick, come see, it’s Chen Feng!"
Yuan Licheng used a small amplifying array, and the sound instantly spread to the surroundings.
Everyone rushed over, and Bai Ruozhu saw Yuan Licheng about to support Chen Feng and quickly shouted, "Don’t touch him, they’re all Poisonous Insects!"
Yuan Licheng was startled and quickly jumped back.
Bai Ruozhu immediately scattered some Drug Powder, "It’s drug powder to confuse them. They can’t be killed, otherwise Gufeng will notice."
"Gufeng actually captured Chen Feng, but why are people here? What is he trying to do?" Gao Zhou asked angrily.
"His target is Lanlan, no, it should be the Phoenix Poisonous Insect. We need to hurry," Bai Ruozhu checked Chen Feng’s condition and told Fo Lanying and Yuan Licheng, "You two stay here and watch over Chen Feng. If he wakes up and goes berserk, knock him out if need be."
Beside Chen Feng, the Poisonous Insects were there, and the serpent arm shrank back in fear behind him, but Bai Ruozhu could still clearly see it and couldn’t help but sigh silently.
That serpent arm had been controlled for so long but was awakened by that evil demon Gufeng, who knows what other tricks he played.
At that moment, a light red Poisonous Insect crawled out, but due to Bai Ruozhu’s Drug Powder, it couldn’t approach.
The Furball flew over and called to Bai Ruozhu, and Bai Ruozhu realized and quickly reached out to grab the small bug.
"Furball says it’s Lanlan’s Poisonous Insect," she explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone was happy. Since Lanlan could send a Poisonous Insect back, it meant she was still okay.
That small Poisonous Insect called the Learning Speech Bug automatically played the conversation between Gufeng and Lanlan, like a modern tape recorder.
But it could only record a small amount, capturing the key parts.
"So Gufeng took Lanlan outside the Barrier using these Poisonous Insects," Bai Ruozhu was a bit surprised, and couldn’t help but admit Gufeng was talented. He had prepared for this over a decade ago, just too twisted.
"Then how do we get through the Barrier?" Fen Jiu asked anxiously.
Any slower, Lanlan might...
Bai Ruozhu’s head spun quickly, and suddenly she slapped her head, "Since the Poisonous Insects can bring Chen Feng freely in and out, the key is these Poisonous Insects! Can’t kill them, can’t use them either?"
"Will they listen to you?" Jiang Yichun asked.
Bai Ruozhu pointed at the Furball, "Just have them listen to it."
With the help of Drug Powder and the Furball’s suppression, those Poisonous Insects became much more obedient and seemed quite docile.
"Each of us take one, using a cloth to cushion it, we can pass through the Barrier," Bai Ruozhu took some cloths and distributed them to the others.
She was fine, but the others found it difficult to pinch the Poisonous Insects. Gao Zhou’s hand trembled and almost crushed one.
Crush one, and Gufeng would definitely sense it.
Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, then took out some pouches, quickly filling them with Poisonous Insects and handing them to the group.
This made things much easier, and she had the Furball urge them to return the same way, following the Poisonous Insects they quickly passed through the Barrier and found the cave.
A ripping sound was heard as clothing tore.
"Since I’ve already agreed to your conditions, stop playing games with me. Just close your eyes and it’s over, right?" Gufeng’s voice sounded from inside.
Bai Ruozhu gestured, Gufeng’s guard would likely be lower at this time because he thought others couldn’t leave the Barrier.
Drug Powder was slowly released, and cries from Lanlan inside the cave could be heard, "Let go of me, you sick|o, bast|ard!"
"Furball, it’s all up to you now!" she instructed Furball.
Furball quietly flew into the cave, emitting a faint glow.
With Bai Ruozhu’s illusion-inducing drugs and Furball’s created Illusory Realm, it indeed confused Gufeng.
Gufeng saw himself successfully nurturing the Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect, and laughed as he collected the two Poisonous Insects, saying, "The world will be mine; who dares to oppose me?"
Lanlan tearfully looked at him, "Will you let me go now?"
"I’ll make you the queen since I’m aiming to be an emperor. How about that? You can’t go back anyway; do you think that monster would still want you?" he said.
As he waved his hand, the bugs fell off in large numbers, and decayed skin slowly transformed into perfect skin, with balanced muscles, skin finer than a woman’s.
He looked at his restored body with satisfaction and pride, "The power of the Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect, this body has recovered well."
Lanlan was somewhat surprised, "How did you become like this?"
He laughed loudly, "With the Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect, I’m no longer a monster, are you still afraid of me?"
He grabbed Lanlan and strode out of the cave.
As soon as he emerged, the strong sunlight scorched his eyes, causing a chill in his heart, and before he could react, a sharp sword pierced his heart.
All illusions vanished; he found himself still in the cave, still a bug-ridden monster, and the Fen Gu within him hadn’t truly nurtured; it was all a deception!
He roared in anger, "Courting death!"
A swarm of Poisonous Insects flew from his body; Furball, having used the Illusory Realm, had fallen asleep.
Lanlan released her Poisonous Insects to fight them, the others also engaged in combat with the Poisonous Insects.
"Quanxin, come out and eat the goodies!" Bai Ruozhu used Drug Powder to kill some Poisonous Insects and moved them into the Space, from which Quanxin jumped out of the Hot Spring Pool and devoured.
After eating, Quanxin regained strength, joyfully flying out of the Space, floating within the cave.
"Master, that person’s soul fire is even tastier!" It jumped excitedly.
It devoured Evil Filth, purifying them into the purest essence, and Gufeng, being the most evil, with a soul reborn of Forbidden Technique, his soul fire was naturally a great supplement for Quanxin.
"Alright, I’ll help you have a feast!" Bai Ruozhu signaled Jiang Yichun with a glance, and the two charged forward, attacking Gufeng from left and right. Gufeng, already severely injured and weak, could only release the unformed Fen Gu in desperation.
Seeing this, Lanlan gritted her teeth and shouted, "Phoenix Poisonous Insect, go!"
The Phoenix Poisonous Insect flew out from her body and clashed with the Fen Gu in the sky; Gufeng shouted angrily, "You traitor, I want you dead, I want you dead!"
Jiang Yichun controlled Water Vapor to gag him, sweeping a sword across him, and his head rolled to the ground.
A black soul fire floated up; he screamed furiously, unwillingly; he had planned everything, waited a hundred years, nurtured the Fen Gu for more than a decade, yet why did he have to die?
