BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5302 What A Mood
A centipede would never die, not to mention a brain-eating insect with a heaven-defying life force. Lin Yi even suspected that it had devoured the brain of some earthworm-type spirit beast. Even if the head was gone, the rest of the body could still survive and become a new individual.
He had underestimated his enemy! Lin Yi couldn\'t help but sigh. It wouldn\'t have been this bad if he\'d gotten rid of his body as well, but the Dragon form was at its limit. He might\'ve died if he kept it up, so he had to get rid of it early. He didn\'t expect that there would still be hidden dangers.
But it was too late. Lin Yi wasn\'t completely weak right now, but he didn\'t have any strength to speak of in a short time. The only way to save his life was to turn into a spirit and leave it to fate.
But that was the last resort. Although a spirit was mostly unharmed, it would be doomed if it encountered something like the refinement fire that restrained the spirit. Lin Yi wouldn\'t do that even if he was at his peak, let alone now that he was so weak that he couldn\'t even take a single blow. Maybe the opponent wouldn\'t even need to specifically target him-his spirit would be destroyed in a gust of wind.
After all, a brain-eating insect was still a brain-eating insect. Although it had been abused beyond recognition, this sneak attack on the verge of death was still very powerful. Even if it was not even half of its peak state, it was enough to deal with an ordinary jiedan stage master.
Lin Yi could even hear the brain-eating insect\'s excited cry. As long as it succeeded in its sneak attack, it could counterattack and activate its brain-eating talent!
Unfortunately, it had forgotten one thing. Although Duanmu Yu was only an unremarkable Foundation Paragon expert, this woman\'s methods were not as weak as her level of strength.
BOOM! A piece of iron leaf firmly blocked the brain-eating insect\'s sneak attack at the last moment. The strength of the force actually forced it back. The leaf was like a mountain!
However, the opponent\'s attack was too strong. Duanmu Yu was also sent flying. Even so, she didn\'t forget to take care of Lin Yi behind her. She managed to turn her body over before she fell into the mud. Lin Yi was on top of her, and she fell face on, her face covered in mud.
"Why bother?" Lin Yi was a little touched-Duanmu Yu didn\'t have to do this at all. He could\'ve jumped away before he hit the ground, but that would\'ve damaged his soul.
"Pfft!" Duanmu Yu spat out a mouthful of mud from his mouth. The mud had been poured into her nose. As he vomited without a care for his image, he casually said in an uncaring manner, "It\'s fine, it\'s just a mouthful of mud. It\'s not a big deal. "
"You\'re really a tough woman!" Lin Yi said sincerely.
"Tomboy? What do you mean by that?" Duanmu Yu frowned.
"Young lady is truly a warrior." Lin Yi rephrased.
Duanmu Yu laughed when he heard this. He didn\'t take it to heart. Instead, he frowned and guarded against the brain-eating insect that was still alive. The mountain of leaves was already her strongest display, but she didn\'t expect that she still couldn\'t win against a brain-eating insect that was on the verge of death. The gap between them was really shocking.
Not only that, but the most troublesome thing was that the brain-eating insect had completely turned into a Loach, quietly burrowing in the thick mud, and couldn\'t be detected even with spiritual awareness.
The sludge could greatly suppress the perception of spirit sense-Lin Yi had already experienced this on the Sky Class Island. He used this to avoid the old sect master\'s spiritual lock-on back then. Even if the two types of sludge couldn\'t be compared, the effects were similar. Moreover, the perception of Duanmu Yu\'s level wasn\'t that strong, so it was normal that he couldn\'t find the brain-eating insect.
If Lin Yi wasn\'t so weak, he might be able to lock onto the brain-eating insect with his powerful spirit sense. Unfortunately, that was a false proposition. He only relied on the Holy water bead to stabilize his spirit. Forcefully releasing his spirit sense to search for the brain-eating insect was no different from self-harm and even suicide.
"Let\'s go,"he said. Lin Yi sighed. The river was slowly filling up, and it was almost up to his calf. The bad feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and his instinct told him that if he didn\'t get back to the shore now, something bad was going to happen.
"But ..." Duanmu Yu also knew that the situation was not good. She did not know where the brain-eating insect was hiding, but one thing was for sure. If she continued to pick the spiritual grass, the other party would definitely launch another sneak attack. She had already used falling leaves in autumn twice and mountain of leaves once. The consumption of Zhen Qi was not small. She might not be able to withstand another attack.
Retreating was the wisest choice.
However, the spirit sense grass was right in front of him, so it would be a waste to give it up just like that. It might even become a lifetime regret!
"As long as there\'s life, there\'s hope. This spiritual awareness grass won\'t run away. I\'ll come back after I recover. I just need to wait one more day." Lin Yi consoled.
It was a bit of a self-deception. The spirit grass did grow here, and of course it couldn\'t run away, but did that mean the brain-eating insect wasn\'t interested in it? maybe it would just eat it after they left?
"Alright," he said. In the end, Duanmu Yu\'s rationality triumphed over his impulse. After making up his mind, he carried Lin Yi on his back and retreated to the shore without hesitation.
The two of them thought that the brain-eating insect would still jump out to stop them, but there was no movement in the mud. They didn\'t know if it had already escaped or was still hiding in the mud.
But at this time, a figure quickly approached them from the shore. Duanmu Yu and Lin Yi\'s hearts skipped a beat when they saw the person\'s face-it was Xue Jianfeng!
No one would have thought that they would actually meet this guy at this time and place!
"Oh my, the two of you got together so quickly. Aren\'t you afraid of being indecent in broad daylight? the two of you are really open-minded. What a romantic atmosphere!" Xue Jianfeng looked at Lin Yi and Lin Yi with disdain.
"You better watch your mouth!" Duanmu Yu\'s eyes widened. A tomboy was a tomboy, but that didn\'t mean she didn\'t care about a woman\'s reputation. If she let Xue Jianfeng talk nonsense, she and Lin Yi would never be able to clear their names.
"Alright, alright, alright. I\'m not a big-mouthed person. After all, she\'s the big Senior Sister of spirit leaf sect. I can\'t ruin the sect\'s reputation over such a small matter. I understand." Xue Jianfeng revealed an expression of understanding, as if he was certain that there must be an affair between the two.
