As I was wondering, Uncle Shishu also opened his eyes slightly.
Seeing Uncle Shishu awake, I immediately said,
"Uncle Shishu, we've been targeted!"
Uncle Shishu glanced around coldly and said,
"This is a centipede."
"A centipede?"
I exclaimed, my eyes wide.
And this centipede, it's an insect.
For an insect to achieve sentience is countless times more difficult than for an animal.
Moreover, legend has it that once a centipede becomes sentient, it can become the King of Poisons, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Uncle Shishu nodded,
"That's right, this demonic aura is that of a centipede. I've encountered it before."
Just as Uncle Shishu and I were speaking, a pungent and spicy demonic aura suddenly surged from the forest.
Following the surge of this demonic aura, a strange "sizzle, sizzle, sizzle" sound of insect calls suddenly arose from all around.
Then, we saw countless small centipedes crawling out of the surrounding forest, dense and numerous.
Seeing so many centipedes appear at once, both Uncle Shishu and I felt a tightening in our hearts.
Uncle Shishu stepped in front of me and said to me,
"Xiao Qin, wake those two up."
"Yes, Uncle Shishu!"
I immediately responded.
Then, I called out to Old Mo and Xiao Yao, who were sitting by the roadside cross-legged, meditating,
"Old Mo, Xiao Yao, wake up, there are monsters!"
Because the two of them were merely meditating, not in secluded cultivation.
So waking them directly would not affect their heart meridians.
The two quickly woke up to my calls.
"What, what's going on, Old Qin?"
Old Mo asked, confused.
Xiao Yao also seemed bewildered.
"Look around you!"
Hearing me say this, the two scanned their surroundings.
They saw dense centipedes, under the moonlight, crawling rapidly towards us.
The air was also occasionally filled with waves of pungent and spicy demonic aura.
"Cen-centipedes..."
"That's right, it's a centipede spirit!"
I replied again, then pulled open the car door and drew out the peach wood sword from the car.
Uncle Shishu, facing the attacking centipede swarm, merely let out a cold snort and struck out with a palm.
With a "crack," a bolt of electricity shot out.
It exploded on the ground not far away with a "boom," and electric arcs continued to crackle and jump, electrocuting all the centipedes within a five-meter radius.
Those in the center were directly incinerated, emitting a burnt stench.
After taking out the peach wood sword and talismans, I also threw talismans all around.
As the talismans landed in the centipede swarm, I then formed a sword finger:
"Hurry as the law commands, CHÌ!"
The yellow talisman flickered.
With a "boom," a burst of sound, centipedes within several meters were all overturned and killed by the power of the talismans.
However, the centipede swarm surrounded us from all directions.
They varied in size, the large ones being thirty to forty centimeters long, and the small ones about two to three centimeters.
Even without the Heavenly Eyes, in the moonlight, one could see the tide-like centipede swarm.
Seeing that there were too many centipedes, I couldn't just sit and wait for death.
I had to take the initiative to attack and kill the centipede demon.
Otherwise, if these centipedes got close and bit us a few times, the consequences would be unthinkable.
With this thought, I immediately drew out an Eye-Opening Talisman:
"Hurry as the law commands, OPEN!"
A cold sensation spread through my eyes, and then my Heavenly Eyes opened.
As soon as my Heavenly Eyes opened, I was stunned.
I discovered that around the forest, there were waves of dark green mist.
The mist enveloped the surrounding forest, gathering and not dispersing.
And in multiple directions within the forest, there were centipedes several meters long coiled on the trees.
Now they stretched their bodies, revealing a pair of large pincers, and swayed as they stared in our direction.
And there were at least a dozen of these large centipedes.
"Uncle Shishu, there are many large centipedes around, over a dozen!"
I shouted.
Uncle Shishu, still using talismans to disperse the surrounding centipede swarm, responded from within:
"Those are just minor characters. Behind them is an even more powerful old centipede.
You three take care of yourselves, I'll go kill that old centipede."
"Understood, Uncle Shishu!"
"Master, we will take care of ourselves!"
"..."
The three of us responded.
Old Mo and Xiao Yao had also entered a state of combat.
Both of them were using talismans, or utilizing their qi, to suppress and kill these centipedes.
The talismans buzzed, and streaks of qi exploded continuously.
The surrounding centipede swarm died wave after wave.
But they were endless, dense, and surged forward like a tide.
There were many centipedes, but for now.
They certainly couldn't threaten our lives in a short time, as they were all just small centipedes.
However, if the time dragged on, it would be hard to say.
After Uncle Shishu said this, he targeted a large centipede and charged towards it.
The surrounding centipedes all arched their bodies, then sprang out.
They frenziedly jumped onto Uncle Shishu's body.
It looked terrifying, but these small centipedes couldn't bite Uncle Shishu at all.
Because having reached the True Radiance realm, one could already achieve Qi Protection.
A protective qi had formed on Uncle Shishu's body.
As soon as these centipedes touched Uncle Shishu's protective qi, they were repelled.
Uncle Shishu moved extremely fast, and in a blink, he was about to reach a large centipede.
That large centipede was at least over two meters long.
Seeing Uncle Shishu charging at it, that large black centipede suddenly let out a "screech," circled on the tree, and crawled directly towards Uncle Shishu's face.
Hundreds of insect legs crawled on the ground, making a "kaka" sound, which was particularly grating to the ears...
