Chapter 431 - 428: The Power of the Drug-Absorbing Bug

Gao Fei struggled to deal with Ma Junchao alone, and now, surrounded by more than a dozen Golden Core Stage masters, his situation turned desperate.

"Pfft!"

Being slow to dodge, Gao Fei's waistline was slashed by a longsword, fortunately not reaching the skin. Even so, he broke out in a cold sweat, it had been too close for comfort, just a hair's breadth from being gutted.

"Everyone, attack together, kill him!" Ma Junchao shouted loudly.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

"Swish swish swish!"

With Ma Junchao restraining Gao Fei from the front, the Golden Core Stage masters attacked from both sides, swords gleaming murderously. Several times, Gao Fei nearly lost his life.

"No! I can't go on like this!" Gao Fei frowned deeply, knowing that if things continued this way, he would eventually be killed.

He had to find a way to break out of this perilous situation!

Gao Fei still had many trump cards he hadn't played, such as the explosive black orbs, the Life-saving Talisman, the Drug-absorbing Bugs, and more...

Should he use the black orbs? Gao Fei was reluctant; he had only thirteen left, and each used was one less. If possible, he wanted to avoid using them... Besides, once he used the black orbs, there was a good chance he'd injure himself... Use the Life-saving Talisman? Gao Fei was still reluctant to part with it, as he had only one, and once it was used, it was gone. The Drug-absorbing Bugs probably wouldn't work either; while they could absorb poison, he doubted they'd be effective against enemies...

"Who says they won't work?" The voice of Xuan Jizi echoed in his mind: "You know too little about the Drug-absorbing Bugs."

"Huh?" Gao Fei was startled and quickly inquired mentally, "What do you mean by that?"

"Let me tell you, Drug-absorbing Bugs can not only absorb poison, but they can also release it," Xuan Jizi explained.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you!"

"Xuan Jizi, thank you for reminding me!" With a thought, Gao Fei released a transparent small bottle from his embrace, "Clang!" The cap opened and hundreds of Drug-absorbing Bugs flew out. Gao Fei's eyes shone as he commanded loudly, "My darlings, help me deal with these bastards!"

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The hundreds of Drug-absorbing Bugs scattered in all directions, beginning to spray poison at Ma Junchao and the others.

"Ahh!!!"

"It hurts to death!"

"So uncomfortable!"

Instantly, three Golden Core Stage masters were poisoned, their faces turning black, thrashing wildly, foaming at the mouth on the ground, convulsing for a while before going still, clearly beyond saving. It took only a few seconds from being poisoned to death, which showed how potent the poison gas released by the Drug-absorbing Bugs was.

"What the hell is this?" Ma Junchao and the others were shocked and quickly leaped backward.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The hundreds of Drug-absorbing Bugs swiftly pursued them. Despite their small size, they were extremely fast flyers. Their little wings fluttered lightly, and their tiny bodies shot forward like fine lines, quickly catching up to Ma Junchao and the others, opening their mouths wide, frantically spraying poison.

"Ah!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I haven't lived enough!"

"Save me!"

"Please, spare me!"

Screams rose and fell in quick succession, unceasing.

In the blink of an eye, seven people had died.

The few who were lucky enough to survive were petrified, exerting all their strength to sprint into the distance, their faces etched with terror and fear.

Those who had been attacking Chen San and Liu Qing were also scared away.

Chen San and Liu Qing stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, deeply shocked by the ferocity of the Drug-absorbing Bugs.

Gao Fei was also surprised. He hadn't expected the Drug-absorbing Bugs to be so formidable—absorbing poison with great intensity and spewing it out even more viciously. Just a breath of poison gas could annihilate a Golden Core Stage master. Incredible!

"Now do you believe what I told you?" Xuan Jizi's voice sounded in his mind.

"Believe! I totally believe!" Gao Fei exclaimed in admiration.

"These Drug-absorbing Bugs are still in their juvenile stage. They can't display many of their abilities yet. Once they enter their adult stage, their strength will be even more terrifying," Xuan Jizi explained, and he sighed, "You, my boy, have picked up a treasure, and a mighty fine one at that!"

"Juvenile stage? Adult stage?" Gao Fei earnestly asked for guidance, "What should I do to help them reach their adult stage?"

"Absorb poison gas," Xuan Jizi said. "Haven't you noticed? After each round of poison absorption, these Drug-absorbing Bugs grow a bit larger."

"Hmm, I understand," Gao Fei nodded. "I will find more poison for the Drug-absorbing Bugs to absorb in the future, trying to get them to their adult stage as soon as possible."

"It's not that easy," Xuan Jizi said. "To enter their adult stage, the Drug-absorbing Bugs need to undergo many moltings, and it definitely won't be a short process." He added, "It's like humans, going from an infant to an adult takes over a decade, and they must endure many setbacks and hardships."

"No worries, I can wait," said Gao Fei with a smile. "I will exercise utmost patience in fostering the Drug-absorbing Bugs, helping them grow as quickly as possible."

...

While Gao Fei was communicating with Xuan Jizi, the situation had drastically changed.

All of Ma Junchao's men had died from poisoning, leaving only Ma Junchao desperately hanging on.

"Gao Fei... Lord Gao... Brother Gao... Great Uncle Gao... Ancestor Gao... please show mercy and let me live," Ma Junchao began to plead, genuinely scared.

"Oh wow," Gao Fei laughed. "Weren't you full of capability a moment ago? Why are you begging me for mercy now?"

"I was wrong before, and I apologize to you! Please be magnanimous and forgive me this once," Ma Junchao said in a panic. "I promise I won't mess with you ever again."

"You're not the one who messed with me," Gao Fei scoffed.

"Ah?" Ma Junchao was taken aback, then realization dawned on him: "Liu Qing! I'm sorry to you, I shouldn't have stolen Xiao Die from you. I apologize, please forgive me... How about this, as soon as I get back, I'll leave Xiao Die, and then you can pursue her again..."

Liu Qing snorted coldly, "For the sake of your life, you're willing to abandon even the woman you love. You're really cold-blooded. It's a tragedy for Xiao Die to have followed you."

"Yes, yes, it's her tragedy, she chose the wrong person," Ma Junchao, now shameless, would do anything to live: "Liu Qing, for the sake of our past, please let me go, I'm begging you."

Liu Qing remained unmoved, his expression cold, "You still have the face to mention our past? How did you treat me when I truly regarded you as a friend? You sabotaged my relationship with Xiao Die from behind and then used despicable means to take her away! Do you know how painful it was for me? I even thought about suicide! Humiliation, it's the humiliation of my lifetime! I dream of killing you every night!!!

"I was blinded at that time, which made me do those vile things. Liu Qing, please forgive me. I'll give Xiao Die back to you, is that okay?"

"Your mother! My connection with Xiao Die was severed long ago!"

"It's not severed. I know you still have feelings for Xiao Die, and actually... Xiao Die still has you in her heart too, really, I'm not lying to you... if you just nod, I'll return Xiao Die to you, then you two can be together forever, living an Immortal's life, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
