The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After dealing with a few iron-backed centipedes, everyone's pressure suddenly weakened a lot.

Under the joint attack of more than a dozen people, the remaining iron-backed centipedes were also killed one after another.

After taking care of all the iron-backed centipedes, Matthew and the others did not move forward any further.

Instead, rest on the spot.

Zhu Que looked a little ugly after releasing so much sword light. After sitting down, he immediately took out a pill and drank it.

Matthew had been hit by an iron-backed centipede and suffered considerable internal injuries. He was meditating and resting after taking the rejuvenation pill.

The old man surnamed He ran out to check on Cui'er as soon as it was over.

After checking, he found that Cui'er had only fainted temporarily, and the old man was relieved.

After asking Zhu Que for a pill for Cui Er to take, the old man surnamed He sat next to Cui Er and guarded her.

"Boy Ma, you saved my life earlier, so I will give you this little gadget." While Matthew was meditating, the voice of the old man Chi Yuan suddenly came to his ears.

When Matthew opened his eyes, he happened to see the old man throwing something towards him.

After subconsciously reaching out to catch it, Matthew found that the old man gave him a bead.

The surface of this bead has two colors of gold and red intertwined with each other. The bead is not big, only the size of a fingernail.

"Oh, old ghost Chi Yuan, you are so generous, you actually gave the Thunder Fire Bead to Boy Ma." After taking a look at the bead in Matthew's hand, the old man surnamed He actually shouted with some envy.

Matthew had heard the name of Thunder Fire Pearl before, and heard that this object was one of several unheralded secret magical weapons in Yuqi Peak.

It is said that the refining of this object is extremely complicated and extremely powerful. After use, it can release thunder, lightning and flames at the same time.

After hearing the words of the old man surnamed He, everyone else also looked this way.

"Boy, why don't you thank you, Uncle Chi Yuan? You can't buy this thing even with spiritual stones." Seeing that Matthew didn't react at all while holding the Thunder Fire Bead, Zhu Que urged anxiously.

When Zhu Que said this, Matthew immediately reacted and hurriedly thanked Chi Yuan.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This guy saved my life. What does it matter if you give me some gadgets?" said the old man Chi Yuan, waving his hands with a smile.

"Old ghost Chi Yuan, since it is a gadget, give one to my little apprentice." The old man surnamed He also said with the same smile when he heard this.

"No." Upon hearing the request of the old man surnamed He, the old man Chi Yuan refused directly.

"Your grandma, you have a problem with me, right?" After being rejected so directly, the old man surnamed He suddenly turned red, stood up, pointed at the old man Chi Yuan and cursed loudly.

The old man Chi Yuan paid no attention to this, and even hummed an unknown ditty.

From the look on his face, he seemed to enjoy seeing the old man surnamed He so angry.

Seeing two old guys with a combined age of three hundred years bickering here, Matthew was a little at a loss.

He stood up and came to Zhu Que's side, asking in a low voice how to use this thunder fire bead.

"Boy, the power of this thunder and fire bead is equivalent to a full blow of a foundation-building monk. You must use it carefully, you know!" Zhu Que warned softly.

After everyone rested for a while, they continued to set off.

While moving forward, Matthew quietly asked the old man surnamed He how far he still had to go.

The reply they got was that they were at least four or five days away from where they were going.

Although the old man surnamed He did not specify the exact distance, judging from the time since entering, they should have only walked twenty-three-tenths of the entire route.

After experiencing the iron-backed centipede, the group became more cautious.

Every time before entering a fork in the road, the Golden Spirit Rat will scout the path ahead.

After confirming that the dangers inside were something they could handle, the group dared to enter.

On the way back, although we encountered many demonic insects, we didn't encounter any as strong as the iron-backed centipede.

But despite this, many people were injured in the continuous fighting.

The old man in red robes, the monk in green robes, and the man in blue robes were all injured one after another.

Zhu Que has the highest level of cultivation and many methods, but he is safe and sound.

Matthew and Cui'er had not fully recovered from their previous injuries. They were protected by everyone, but they were not in any danger.

Matthew silently calculated the time in his mind, although he could not calculate the exact time.

"It has been about three days since we entered, and the exit should not be far away." Calculating the approximate time in his mind, Matthew's face did not show any relief.

Not just him, but also on other people's faces.

The demonic insects we encountered in recent times have become stronger and their numbers have increased.

"Be careful, there are iron-backed centipedes again, there are more than twenty of them!" While Matthew was thinking wildly, he heard an exclamation.

Now that we are here, no one will think about why there are so many demonic insects appearing.

Now that you encounter them, just kill them directly.

After fighting all the way, the cooperation of these old guys became more and more tacit.

The iron-backed centipede is covered with a hard carapace, and its only weak point is its mouth.

Matthew had already seen the power of the Iron-backed Centipede. When these people started to attack, he also took out a stack of talismans to participate in the battle.

Everyone attacked the mouth of the iron-backed centipede, causing these monster insects to suffer a lot.

Just when Matthew thought he could easily deal with these big guys with amazing defenses, an accident happened.

The green-robed monk who was using his magic weapon to attack the iron-backed centipede suddenly noticed something strange. When he turned his head, he saw a giant beetle with a head the size of an adult's head rushing over.

Without giving the green-robed monk any time to react, the giant beetle had already pounced on his face.

A shrill scream came from the mouth of the green-robed monk, and in just a few breaths, the man collapsed on the ground.

Looking at his body again, it was flattened into a ball.

This sudden scene shocked everyone.

"Ghost-faced Insect!" After seeing the giant beetle clearly, Chi Yuan had an expression of disbelief on his face.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of fear in his voice.

As Chi Yuan finished speaking, he seemed to be responding to his words.

The surrounding rock walls, which were no different from ordinary rock walls, seemed to come alive.

If you look carefully, you will see that this is not a rock wall, it is clearly a giant ghost-faced insect.

These demonic insects were actually able to transform into the color of the rock wall, deceiving so many foundation-building monks.

Matthew had read some descriptions about the Dire-faced Insect in a journal.

This insect lives in groups and likes to devour the essence and blood of living things. Monks and monsters are their favorite prey.

"There are at least a thousand ghost-faced insects here. Dear friends, don't hold back, otherwise they will really stay here." Seeing the ghost-faced insects occupying almost the entire space, Zhu Que took a deep breath and said.
