New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

On the eaves not far from the window, several figures couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not discovered by their masters.

"An Yi, your Qinggong is getting better and better, but where did you get the books about Gu worms?"

A figure dressed in black and hidden in the darkness curiously asked the boy who had just returned.

If you look carefully here, you will be horrified to find that there are ten young men in black. They are lying on the eaves, looking at the candlelight in the room of the inn opposite, which is still on, and they breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

A few days ago, when the princesses and princes had just set out, the emperor ordered them to follow secretly, and also told them that they could not show up unless the princesses were in a life-and-death situation.

In the morning, the masters were surrounded and their palms were sweating with worry, fearing that their momentary mistakes would cause their masters to be injured or killed. But fortunately, they held on for a long time and met two chivalrous men.

Seeing them injured, they almost rushed forward, luckily, they had not been exposed.

But at night, when the leader of the secret guards, An Yi, heard Princess Huanzhu say that she needed books about poisonous insects, he blurted out that he had books about poisonous insects. Then, at lightning speed, he threw the book into the window opposite and turned invisible so that the other side would not notice him.

This was really an accident! An Yi shouldn't have spoken out, but after hearing Gege's request, he responded subconsciously. Now that he thinks about it, he really shouldn't have been so impulsive. However, since he had already done it, he could only find a way to prevent the other party from discovering his identity.

"Boss, should we go over and take a look?" a secret guard asked cautiously.

An Yi shook his head: "No, let's leave here first to avoid being discovered. We'll see the situation tomorrow." After that, he quietly left with the secret guards.

Several people quickly moved to another roof to hide, their movements were swift and agile. They did not dare to leave their masters too far away, otherwise if their masters were in danger and they could not step forward to protect them in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

As soon as he stood firm on his feet, An Er couldn't wait to ask his boss: "Boss, where did you get this book? And you carry it with you!" He really couldn't understand why the boss would carry a book with him all the time?

The other secret guards also looked at the boss with curiosity, but they remained alert and kept scanning the surroundings to prevent any potential threats. Although they were full of questions, they did not take the initiative to ask, but pricked up their ears and quietly waited for the boss to tell the story behind it.

Unexpectedly, An Yi said casually, "I didn't expect that this was a book about poisonous insects. When I came to this town, I had to pee urgently, so I was going to find a toilet. I found a toilet, but I didn't see any toilet paper. In order to find toilet paper, I accidentally broke into a room. At that time, I didn't see any toilet paper, but I saw this book on the table. It seemed to be very precious. I was just about to tear off a few pages, but I heard voices, so I quickly stuffed the book into my arms.

Who would have thought that this might be related to the poisonous insect? I just tried to throw it in. If it is, everyone will be happy. If not, then I can't do anything about it." After saying this, he looked at everyone innocently, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

But he concealed the fact that he had taught a woman a lesson. After all, it would be embarrassing to tell others that he, a grown man, beat a woman.

However, his words made everyone present fall into deep thought. The boss's luck was really good. He could find the books that the princesses needed even when he was looking for toilet paper.

－－－－－－－

Xiaoyanzi and her friends had been searching for the poisonous insect for a long time but had not found any clues, so they decided to take a rest and talk about it tomorrow. After all, they had experienced a lot today and were exhausted.

Everyone nodded and decided to discuss these poisonous insects and the like tomorrow. Anyway, at the moment, it seems that these people have no memories after being attacked by the poisonous insects, and there are not too many sequelae. Their lives should not be in danger for the time being, so they can still wait.

As the night deepened, Xiaoyanzi and others gradually fell asleep.

At night, the moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating a quiet forest.

In a small forest not far from the town, a woman fell quietly to the ground. Under the moonlight, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes revealed endless sadness and anger. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, as if the pain in her heart was also gushing out.

The moonlight poured down, illuminating her figure. The woman's name was Yao Ji. She came from the Miaojiang tribe under Guanchen Mountain and possessed peerless beauty. She was wearing a fiery red dress, which set off her fair and soft skin. The breeze blew, and her hair was gently lifted, exuding a charming fragrance. However, at this moment, there was black blood on the corners of her lips, and her eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

Yao Ji was originally a Miao girl living at the foot of Guanchen Mountain. By chance, she met Bushi Haoren and fell in love with him. They got to know each other, fell in love and stayed together. Yao Ji even betrayed her own tribe just to be with Bushi Haoren. She took a kind of Gu worm called "Obedient Gu" carefully cultivated by her tribe, resolutely left her hometown, and eloped with Bushi Haoren.

She was very charming and had a face that would make men salivate, but such a woman was deeply in love with Bushi Haoren. She was deceived by Bushi Haoren and was even willing to give up her family for him. However, she did not regret it and felt that it was all worth it. When Bushi Haoren asked for obedient Gu worms, she stole them without hesitation and gave them to him. Moreover, she took the trouble to cultivate hundreds of young Gu for him so that he could more easily poison those innocent people.

This kind of obedient Gu worm is divided into mother Gu and child Gu. The mother Gu parasitizes in her body, while the child Gu is distributed in the bodies of those people. As long as she is not dead, these Gu worms will not die. Even if the child Gu dies, it will not have any effect on her.

Today, Bushi Haoren ordered her to activate the sub-gu and make the people who were bewitched obey his command. So, she began to cast the spell, transferring her will to each sub-gu. As she cast the spell, the originally quiet sub-gu suddenly became active. They moved quickly in the bodies of the people, releasing a mysterious power. Soon, the people who were bewitched lost their self-consciousness and completely obeyed Bushi Haoren's orders. They were like zombies, without any power to resist.

He promised her that as long as he killed those people, he would set off fireworks in the town to celebrate and marry her. She waited for a whole day but didn't see him coming, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. When she activated the Gu worm today, she found that something was hindering their actions and trapped them, so that it didn't work at all.

After waiting for a whole day, the enchantress frowned in doubt, thinking: Did something happen to that man? Or did someone deliberately destroy her plan? No, it was impossible. If someone could easily break her Gu technique, then this person must be very powerful, but she did not sense any powerful aura.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she decided to go to the town to see what was going on. So she walked towards the town carefully, but just halfway there, suddenly a black shadow flashed past her, followed by a huge force that hit her hard and sent her flying.

She screamed, hit her body against a tree, and spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked carefully and saw a man in black standing in front of her, looking at her coldly.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" she asked in horror.

The man in black didn't answer, but just looked at her quietly. She felt that her life was seriously threatened, so she quickly used her witchcraft to try to control the other party. However, she was surprised to find that her witchcraft had no effect on the man in black, as if there was an invisible barrier protecting him.

She was shocked and angry and wanted to run away, but the man in black quickly attacked and injured her again. Finally, she fell to the ground and could not move.

"Damn it, don't let me know who you are, otherwise I will fight you to the death!" she said gritting her teeth.

The man in black just looked at her with contempt, then turned and flew away, as if she was just an ant and not worthy of his attention. However, he didn't know how much hidden danger this relaxation would leave behind.

The enchantress looked at his departing back with resentment, gritting her teeth, thinking that Bushi Haoren was indeed dead, and she could not stay there any longer. After standing up, she glanced at the town that was plunged into darkness, then limped into the darkness, with a seed of hatred planted in her heart.
