The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

The sound caused the group to abruptly stop in their tracks.

Is something alive approaching from ahead?

Perhaps it was because it was difficult to see in the dark that it seemed even more eerie.

In that instant, a fist-sized luminous pearl appeared in Luo Qianmo's hand, its bright light shattering the darkness before him.

Once visibility improved slightly, everyone's expressions changed drastically upon seeing the scene before them.

Fang Qingyou weakly raised her eyes and glanced ahead. In that brief glance, she only saw a dense mass of things surging towards her from the darkness.

Before she could even identify what these things were, Xuan Zhu's voice rang out in near shock: "Gu! This is real Gu!"

Fang Qingyou's heart skipped a beat. She narrowed her eyes and realized that these things were indeed not ordinary creatures.

There were spiders the size of a fist, snakes like vines, scorpions the size of a book, and centipedes the size of a scroll painting...

There are also some creatures whose species are completely indistinguishable.

These creatures were mostly crimson, their bodies gleaming with an oily, blood-red color, as if they had just crawled out of a pool of blood.

Leaving aside those creatures whose shapes are unclear, these creatures whose general form can be discerned are far more terrifying and ferocious than their counterparts.

They were all like little spirits.

It's heartbreaking that Xuanzhu said these creatures are Gu, and I'm afraid there's a very high chance they are.

Before Xuan Zhu could finish speaking, everyone's figures had already been suddenly sent flying.

In an instant, a flurry of sword flashes and shadows swept by as everyone was entangled in a fierce battle with the surging Gu worms.

However, the expected mass deaths due to the poison did not occur; instead, everyone repeatedly failed.

These Gu worms not only react extremely quickly, but their bodies are also as hard as iron. Even if you hit a Gu worm, it's like hitting a stone with a knife, producing a sharp collision sound.

"boom--"

At this moment, everyone understood why Xuan Zhu had lost his composure so much. This kind of Gu was on a completely different level from the Gu worms they had encountered along the way.

They could easily sever the bodies of those Gu worms with a single move, but these Gu worms would probably require 10-20% of their strength to kill just one.

Compared to these Gu, those Gu worms are nothing but minions, while these are boss-level.

If there were only a few of these Gu, it would be fine, but with such a dense swarm, there must be at least hundreds or thousands of them.

In an instant, everyone's expression became solemn.

What exactly is this broken earthen slope, and why is it so dangerous?

They hadn't even gotten out of the first obstacle in the passageway when a new one eagerly arrived.

While everyone was fighting the Gu worms, Fang Qingyou forced herself to look around, trying to see if there was any other way out.

If they don't find a way to escape in time, they might not even be enough to satisfy these Gu poisons.

In just a few moments, these Gu worms had almost crawled to the front of the passageway.

"Clang—" But when these Gu were still a few steps away from Fang Qingyou, they were stopped by Luo Qianmo's icy sword light.

With a sweep of sword light, like a raging icy wind, the group of Gu worms were forced back more than ten feet.

Because Yuefei had difficulty moving around while carrying Fang Qingyou, Luo Qianmo became their last line of defense.

In that instant, Fang Qingyou was truly shocked by Luo Qianmo's strength. When this man was still, he was handsome and wicked. His extremely beautiful appearance often made people overlook his other aspects, giving the impression of a prince who was just a pretty face. But when he moved, his domineering aura was fully revealed. How could he be described as wicked, arrogant, cool and domineering!

Just as Fang Qingyou was being intimidated by Luo Qianmo's domineering aura, her eyes suddenly lit up. Following the direction of his sword light, she unexpectedly saw a stone door.

By the light of the luminous pearl, she noticed that the passageway seemed to lead to an underground cave, and the stone door was currently on one of the stone walls.

The stone gate was only four or five meters away from them.

"Yuefei, look! Isn't there a door over there?"

Following Fang Qingyou's gaze, Yuefei also spotted the door and exclaimed with delight, "Yes, miss, there is indeed a door over there."

"Okay. Let's go take a look!"

"Yes"

With Luo Qianmo's protection, the Gu worms couldn't get close to Fang Qingyou and Yue Fei for a while, allowing them to quickly reach the stone door.

However, just as Yuefei was about to take another step forward and push open the stone door, a spider-like insect suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The spider-like creature was as big as a football, its body covered with dense black spots that contrasted sharply with its crimson body, giving it a metallic sheen.

These spots protrude outwards, like giant black tumors, a feature that resembles a toad, enough to drive anyone with trypophobia crazy.

When it darted over, several strands of drool hung from its pointed mouth, making Yuefei and Fang Qingyou's scalps tingle.

In the next instant, Yuefei's sword had already thrust out.

The spider worm reacted faster than Yuefei had imagined. When her sword came at it, it hopped to the side like a frog and glared at them with an even more ferocious expression.

Its dark, gaping mouth was wide open, as if it wanted to swallow them whole.

"abdomen……"

Hearing Fang Qingyou's whispered reminder, Yue Fei remained calm, quickly retracted her sword, turned around, and swiftly thrust it towards the spider worm's abdomen with her back to Fang Qingyou.

In a single exchange, both figures flashed by in an instant.

Yuefei's figure flew to the side, and the spider gu also jumped aside.

"Bang—" Yuefei felt as if her sword had struck a stone, and her arm was slightly numb from the shock.

"Hiss—" The spider worm seemed to be injured and suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Yuefei stared intently at the spider worm's abdomen. Its reaction speed was too fast; her sword strike had only just grazed the edge of its abdomen, and she didn't know the extent of its injury.

The next instant, Yuefei's expression suddenly changed drastically, because she saw the spider worm pounce on her and Fang Qingyou once again, its pincers slashing like sharp blades.

The sword strike she had just made seemed to enrage the spider-like insect, causing it to charge at them in a frenzy.

Yuefei dared not be careless and swung her sword at the spider worm once again. However, she kept her body turned to the side, as this was the only way to ensure that Fang Qingyou on her back would be protected as much as possible.
