My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The adults he always perceived were people who could remain calm and collected even if the sky were to fall before them.

But the feeling he got from the adult today was as if he had encountered something terrible.

Considering how many insects the adult has encountered in the past that he could kill without batting an eye, what could possibly make the adult so cautious?

Those are definitely more difficult to deal with than the previous insects; even adults find them challenging now.

As he thought about it, he became increasingly wary.

Then he discovered that this Elm Mountain was very different from the mountains he had seen before.

In the past, they could catch a lot of prey by walking along such mountain paths. But today, after walking for so long, they haven't encountered any prey.

However, the sounds of birds and other wild creatures could be heard from the mountains from time to time.

But if you follow the sound, you won't find their location. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help himself, and told Ji Yunshuang about the situation.

In fact, Ji Yunshuang had already discovered it.

She not only noticed that the animals in the mountains were acting strangely, but also that the path they were taking was wrong.

If they follow the marks left by Lu Yinheng, they might not find the witch at all. Instead, they'll waste too much energy in the mountains.

Therefore, she told the soldiers to rest where they were and then said she would go and explore the terrain in the mountains.

She said she was going to investigate, but she didn't go far.

I simply found a place and used my mental powers to sense the terrain in the mountains.

Elm Mountain is very large. To understand the entire terrain and the situation inside the mountain requires a great deal of mental energy.

Fortunately, Ji Yunshuang's mental power has not only fully recovered, but has also increased significantly due to her frequent consumption of the magical nectar in the space.

When she used her telekinesis to investigate the situation in the mountains, there was nothing unusual; it seemed as if the mountains were peaceful and serene.

But as time went on, she released more and more psychic power, and the insects hiding in the shadows seemed to finally lose patience and all came out.

They swarmed around Ji Yunshuang like leeches, clinging to her body as if trying to devour all the blood on her skin.

It was only then that Ji Yunshuang could clearly see what these insects looked like. They were only slightly thicker than a hair, and varied in length and color.

Some are jet black, like hair. Others are brownish-brown, and some are green...

No wonder Ji Yunshuang hadn't noticed them before.

Because they are not only tiny, but they also blend completely into their surroundings.

Even though Ji Yunshuang had already guessed it, seeing thousands upon thousands of insects densely covering her protective suit still made her scalp tingle.

And she also heard the ear-piercing sound of blades clashing together...

Although these insects are small, they not only have suckers on their bodies, but also sharp teeth.

These piercing sounds were the sounds made by the insects gnawing at her protective suit.

It was fortunate that her protective suit was of high quality; otherwise, these insects would have gnawed through it and burrowed into her body long ago.

She couldn't imagine what it would feel like if those sharp teeth bit her.

Anyway, the protective suit is sturdy, so these insects can't do anything to me.

Therefore, although Ji Yunshuang felt nauseous at the sight of these insects, she ignored them for the time being. She simply continued to use her mental power to survey the terrain of the mountains.

And this behavior also allowed her to release more mental energy.

She was like a glowing candle in the night, and thousands of insects in the forest swarmed toward her uncontrollably.

Xu Xi had already sensed that Ji Yunshuang was different today, so when Ji Yunshuang asked them to stay and rest while she went to explore the terrain, he was still worried.

After waiting for a while and still not seeing Ji Yunshuang return, he took two soldiers with him to check the surrounding area.

After walking for a short while, the group heard a rustling sound in the woods. Thinking it was raining, they instinctively looked up at the sky, but found that it wasn't raining at all.

"What's going on?" the soldier following behind asked in surprise.

Xu Xi looked around in confusion, then suddenly realized a possibility and exclaimed, "Oh no! Something must have happened to the master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone became anxious and quickened their pace.

Ji Yunshuang hadn't gone far, and Xu Xi and the others quickly found her.

When the group saw Ji Yunshuang's appearance, they all gasped in shock.

At this moment, Ji Yunshuang was completely surrounded by insects.

From a distance, it looked like countless strange insects frantically feeding around her.

Xu Xi was extremely anxious and quickly pulled out the stun gun from her waist, using the method Ji Yunshuang had taught her to deal with the insects.

The stun guns on their waists were modified by Ji Yunshuang. In addition to having a longer battery life than before, they could also shoot flames and be used as flamethrowers.

The stun gun struck, instantly producing a series of crackling sounds, and the insect rolled off Ji Yunshuang's body onto the ground.

The soldiers following Xu Xi quickly stepped forward, and several of them took out their stun guns to deal with the insects.

While Xu Xi and the others were dealing with the insects, Ji Yunshuang had already found Lu Yinheng's location.

She withdrew her mental power and joined Xu Xi and the others in dealing with the insects.

When Ji Yunshuang withdrew her mental power, the insects seemed to suddenly wake up, and some of them began to flee.

Ji Yunshuang and Xu Xi and the others only killed a small portion of the insects; the majority escaped.

Ji Yunshuang clearly noticed that these insects were much faster than before.

In addition, they are small in size and can easily hide in the forest, disappearing in an instant.

Xu Xi asked, "My lord, what do we do now?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Don't worry about them."

There are countless insects like these in the forest now, and it's impossible to kill them all. The key is to meet up with Lu Yinheng.

She sensed that he wasn't doing well. And besides him, there was another woman with him.

She guessed that the woman must be the witch who had possessed Princess Chenxi's body.

After seeing that the insects had been burned to ashes without causing a fire, Ji Yunshuang said to the others, "Let's go!"

After reuniting with the remaining soldiers, Ji Yunshuang led her people directly to the mountain stronghold.

The stronghold was the place she had discovered when she released her mental power, the place where Lu Yinheng was located.

This time, they didn't follow the markings left by Lu Yinheng.

But soon, Ji Yunshuang discovered that even though they weren't following the marks left by Lu Yinheng, they were still circling around in the mountains.

At that moment, she suddenly realized what was happening.

The insects were not only secretly monitoring her every move, but also interfering with her actions and thoughts.

If that's the case, then if she wants to get to the mountain stronghold quickly, she might have to fight a big battle with these insects first.
