Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"Get out of the way!"

Gu Xingzhi, who was standing to the side, suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately shouted at the two of them.

But his warning was too late; with a loud bang, the beautiful woman's body exploded.

Even though Tang Shuwen and Zhang Yaozong managed to dodge in time, they were still inevitably stained with the blood and flesh shattered by the explosion, but fortunately neither of them was injured.

"What bad luck!"

Tang Shuwen, with a look of disgust, circulated her internal energy, shaking off the strands of flesh hanging on the hem of her clothes.

“Strange,” Zhang Yaozong frowned, took a few deep breaths, and casually looked at Tang Shuwen and Gu Xingzhi who were walking over, “Did you smell something strange?”

"aroma?"

Tang Shuwen and Gu Xingzhi were stunned for a moment, then sniffed around.

"There really is one! Where is this fragrance coming from? Why wasn't it there before?"

Tang Shuwen looked around with a puzzled and wary expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, this inexplicably appearing fragrance should be related to that Ma San Niang!"

Gu Xingzhi looked at the pile of shredded flesh and voiced his guess.

"Even a dead person can cause trouble! Now that the problem is solved, let's get out of here quickly!"

As Tang Shuwen spoke, she walked over to Qi Changqing and smiled, "Little friend, where do you live? Shall we, your older brothers and sisters, take you home?"

Qi Changqing shook his head and said, "My home is in a very, very far place, so I won't trouble my older brothers and sisters to take me there. Someone will come to pick me up in a little while."

Gu Xingzhi then walked over and asked, "Little friend, when you were in the cave just now, did you see clearly who knocked that man in black away?"

Qi Changqing shook his head again, "It was too dark in the cave, I couldn't see anything."

He didn't say that the person had done it himself, because even if he did, the three of them probably wouldn't believe him, so it was easier to just pretend he didn't know.

Qi Changqing's answer was within Gu Xingzhi's expectations, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Little friend, what's your name?" Tang Shuwen asked with a smile.

"My name is Qi Changqing."

Qi Changqing looked towards the distant woods, frowned, and said, "Brother and sister, you'd better hurry up and leave, otherwise it will be difficult for you to escape once those things fly over."

These words stunned the three of them.

Tang Shuwen asked Qi Changqing with a surprised look, "What do you mean by 'those things'?"

She didn't doubt that Qi Changqing was lying to them, because neither his demeanor nor his tone suggested he was lying. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of that strange fragrance seemed to foreshadow something bad about to happen.

Qi Changqing looked at the three of them and replied, "I don't know what they are either. I just heard them flying this way."

"Fly this way..."

Gu Xingzhi glanced in the direction Qi Changqing had been looking, his brows furrowing deeply. He said to his two companions, "This place is no place to stay any longer. Let's get out of here quickly!"

Zhang Yaozong and Tang Shuwen exchanged a glance and nodded together.

Just as the three were about to carry Qi Changqing down the mountain, a rustling sound suddenly came from deep in the woods.

The sound was very similar to the rustling of leaves in the wind, and all three of them could hear it!

The dense sounds grew closer, and Gu Xingzhi and his two companions scanned the surrounding woods warily, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Judging from the sounds, they were now surrounded, and the things surrounding them were definitely not human, and there were many of them!

Tang Shuwen looked at Qi Changqing and said seriously, "Little Changqing, quickly hide in the cave! Your older brother and sister might not have time to protect you later!"

Qi Changqing nodded obediently: "Brother and sister, please be careful." After saying that, he ran straight towards the stone cave.

Seeing Qi Changqing obediently hide in the stone cave, Tang Shuwen breathed a slight sigh of relief. She then stood back to back with Gu Xingzhi and Zhang Yaozong, their eyes fixed on the surrounding woods, ready to fight at any moment.

"I wonder what kind of monsters that witch has attracted!"

Tang Shuwen cursed under her breath.

The next moment, the three of them saw swarms of butterfly-shaped flying insects swarming towards them from the surrounding woods.

"Never let them touch your body!"

Gu Xingzhi gave a reminder, then immediately channeled his inner strength and swung his spear at the swarm of flying insects.

Tang Shuwen and Zhang Yaozong dared not be careless and immediately used their internal energy to cut off and shatter all the flying insects that wanted to approach them.

Although they didn't know what these palm-sized flying insects were or what made them so dangerous, just seeing their terrifying numbers of tens of thousands was enough to make their scalp tingle.

Under the vigilant defense of Gu Xingzhi and his companions, the insects' attacks were like moths to a flame; in just a few breaths, hundreds were killed. The fallen corpses formed a large circle at the feet of the three.

Gu Xingzhi glanced at the pile of broken insect corpses at his feet and found that although the insects looked very similar to butterflies, their bodies were much larger.

This discovery instantly reminded Gu Xingzhi of a particularly repulsive flying insect—the moth!

Just as Gu Xingzhi was pondering, a relatively intact moth carcass landed at his feet.

When Gu Xingzhi saw that the moth had four identical red dots on each side of its wings, resembling eyes, the name of a poisonous insect immediately came to mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

"Watch out, everyone! These flying insects are four-eyed red-spotted moths! They're not only bloodthirsty, but also highly venomous! Be careful not to get bitten!"

Upon hearing Gu Xingzhi's reminder, Tang Shuwen's heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed in surprise, "—The Four-Eyed Red-Spotted Moth?! Isn't that something from the Thousand Poisons Sect? But the Thousand Poisons Sect is a sect of the Great Yong Dynasty, how could it be here?" Then she realized, "That vixen who calls herself Ma San Niang is a disciple of the Thousand Poisons Sect?!"

The fact that disciples of the Dayong Sect were committing crimes within the Great Qian territory and had been hiding for several years makes it hard not to suspect something else!

Gu Xingzhi and the other two instantly felt as if they had been drawn into a huge conspiracy!

Zhang Yaozong's deep voice rang out at this moment: "We can't keep this stalemate going! With our internal strength, we can't hold out for long. We have to find a way to break through!"

"These bastards seem endless; breaking through is no easy task!"

Tang Shuwen spoke with resentment, but also with a sense of helplessness.

Although thousands of four-eyed red moths have died at their hands, it seems to have had no impact on their overall numbers; they are still tightly surrounded by dense, dark shadows.

"what can we do about it……"

Gu Xingzhi brandished his spear while racking his brains for a way to escape.

Of the three, he was the youngest, but he had read the most books and was the most quick-witted. So, when it came to coming up with ideas, he was usually the one to do it, and the other two would listen to him.

But faced with the swarm of four-eyed red-spotted moths, he was helpless. Even after racking his brains, he couldn't think of a way to get the three of them out of trouble.

The situation they're facing right now would be extremely troublesome and dangerous even for two top-tier experts. One wrong move and they could very well meet their demise!

Another quarter of an hour passed, and just as Gu Xingzhi and the other two were about to exhaust their inner strength, a childish voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, I have a way to deal with these big moths!"

The three of them then saw a small figure walk through the swarm of moths and approach them.
