I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

However, the insect swarm wasn't limited to just them. Even with flamethrowers, they couldn't deal with the mutated corpse beetles, and the flamethrowers weren't unlimited, so they were lost to Aning's mercenaries.

Beneath the wind-eroded rock pillars, chaos and despair spread like a plague.

The mercenaries' agonizing screams as they were devoured by the swarm of insects still echoed in the air. Fatty and Wuxie were also caught in the frenzied attack of the insects. Fatty roared and brandished his flamethrower, trying to rebuild their defenses. Although Xiao Ge and Hei Xiazi occasionally helped, the insects clung to them like maggots, constantly breaking through the gaps in the flames to crawl onto their bodies. Wuxie's ankle was throbbing with excruciating pain from the gnawing wounds, and his burned skin stung terribly. His face was deathly pale as he futilely slashed at the crawling insects with his dagger.

Wu Xie felt a sense of despair. Compared to losing his life, this pain was nothing. He even felt he could understand how Ling Xiao had felt back in Changbai Mountain—it must have been incredibly painful. Looking at his mangled, even bone-exposed leg, he thought that perhaps he, Wu Xie, would be buried in this desert today. He had to make a wish while he was still conscious, a wish for his next life… Hmm? Had he forgotten something?

Holy crap! He's just making things difficult for himself! He even has the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella! So what about his mottled legs?

"Make way!" a low shout came. Cheng Yu squeezed through the chaos at some point, clutching a small, sealed glass bottle tightly in his hand. Inside was a very small amount of an unusually dark red liquid, which Wu Xie recognized at a glance.

Cheng Yu quickly pulled out the bottle stopper and dripped the contents onto the two men's legs. Then, he put on gloves, tore off two pieces of dry cloth from his body, and put them over their boots.

The mutated corpse beetles around them, who were in a state of abnormal excitement, began to flee frantically when Cheng Yu took out the cloth. Some that hadn't managed to escape and were still on their legs froze abruptly when Cheng Yu put the cloth over their boots. Tiny white smoke rose from their dark red shells, their mouthparts opened and closed frantically but could no longer bite. Then, as if they had encountered their most terrifying natural enemy, they sprang away from their wounds in terror, falling to the ground, twitching a few times, and then instantly freezing to death!

"Hiss... It works so fast?" The fat man was still greatly shocked as he looked at the insects and dead beetles that were quickly disappearing from his legs, and then at the signs that his wounds were stopping bleeding quickly and even starting to heal with a tingling and itching sensation.

Wu Xie suddenly looked up towards the direction of the SUV, wanting to see how Ling Xiao was doing, and whether he had also used blood...

He then saw the modified off-road vehicle that had just been scorched by flames, its chassis still emitting black smoke. The engine roared with a deep, powerful sound, and the wheels suddenly kicked up charred insect carcasses and scalding sand!

But its direction... why is it the opposite direction?

"No, did Lingzi drive away?!" Wu Xie, realizing what was happening, pointed at the SUV that had driven away resolutely. His voice rose sharply due to extreme shock and confusion, and even cracked!

The fat man was also stunned, staring blankly at the car speeding away: "Holy crap! Master Hua! Lingzi! Where are you going?! This way! We're right here!" He waved his thick arms and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Even Hei Xiazi didn't expect Ling Xiao and Xie Yuhua's actions, but he glanced at Wu Xie and Fatty who were still shouting, and then at the gloves in Cheng Yu's hand. He then grabbed Cheng Yu's hand and tied it up for himself. He looked up to tear off a piece for Xiao Ge, but found that the man had already bled him. But since he was kind-hearted, he dragged Cheng Yu to tie the cloth strips on Xiao Ge's hand.
