Chapter 303: In Pursuit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the arrow pierced its abdomen, the big worm trembled and let out an extremely miserable cry.

Then, it fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Was it dead?

Huanhuan wasn’t sure. Just to be safe, she asked Little Green to tie up the big worm.

The lotus seemed to be quite interested in this big worm. It opened all its petals, planning to enjoy the delicious meal.

Just as it was about to bite down, the big worm suddenly raised its upper body, revealing its abdomen that had been pierced by the arrow.

Huanhuan had a bad feeling and quickly shouted, “Little Lotus, Little Green, come back!”

As soon as her voice fell, countless pink worms spewed out of the big worm’s stomach through the wound pierced by the arrow!

Huanhuan was so frightened.

Fortunately, Little Lotus and Little Green reacted quickly enough and returned to her side in time to avoid being pounced on by the little worms.

The little worms swarmed over like a tide.

Huanhuan endured the feeling of nausea and casually grabbed the animal hide blanket to sweep the worms away. While the worms retreated, she quickly pulled out the torch from the ground and rushed out of the tent without looking back.

The little worms immediately chased after her.

Huanhuan turned around and threw the torch into the tent. It landed on the animal hide blanket. The flames spread with a whoosh. The little worms that had yet to rush out of the tent were burning and squeaking.

The big worm got up from the ground. It transformed into human form and looked exactly like Yi Wu.

She pulled out the bamboo arrow in her stomach. A large piece of flesh came out with the arrowhead’s barbs, but she did not seem to feel pain. She threw the bamboo arrow to the ground expressionlessly.

When she saw the little worms that died in the flames, her expression instantly became extremely ferocious.

“My children! You actually killed my children!”

She transformed back into a big worm and rushed out of the tent to protect the surviving little worms. Then, she pounced angrily at Lin Huanhuan!

Huanhuan shouted for help as she ran!

The tent was burning, and flames soared into the sky. Coupled with Huanhuan’s shouting, the huge commotion immediately attracted the attention of many beast soldiers.

As they had come out in a hurry, Huanhuan did not wear a veil on her face. When the beast soldiers saw her face, they were all stunned on the spot. They looked at her in a daze and could not bear to look away.

They had never seen such a beautiful female.

Huanhuan stomped her feet in anger. “Take a look at those worms! They can eat people!”

Even when she was angry, she was still beautiful.

The beast soldiers continued to stare at her foolishly.

Seeing that the worms were about to reach her, Huanhuan no longer dared to count on the beast soldiers who were mesmerized by her beauty. She turned around and ran.

The worms pursued her.

Huanhuan ran as fast as she could. The wind blew past her ears.

If she could run at this speed during the elementary school sports meet back then, she would definitely be the champion of the 100-meter sprint!

Huanhuan ran out of the camp.

To the left was the forest. To the right was the Blackwater River.

Which way should she run?

Huanhuan was anxious but did not know which to choose.

At this moment, a long-awaited voice suddenly sounded.

“Silly girl, run to the right!”

Huanhuan instinctively turned around and ran to the right. When she was more than 10 meters away, she suddenly came back to her senses and shouted, “Little Brat, you’re back?!”

System 438 smiled. “Did you miss Daddy?”

“Yes! I missed you very much!”

If there wasn’t a large group of worms behind her, Huanhuan really wanted to jump around happily.

Little Brat was finally back!

It hadn’t left her!

At the thought of this, she suddenly felt infinitely brave. Even the worms behind her were not as terrifying.

Huanhuan quickly ran to the river. She looked at the surging river in front of her. “What should we do now? There’s no way forward!”

The system made a prompt decision. “Jump!”

“Huh? Although I can swim, this is…”

The system interrupted her. “Jump! Those worms can’t swim. They don’t dare go into the water!”

Huanhuan made up her mind, closed her eyes, and jumped into the black river.

The worms were about to pounce on her. She was one second away from being captured.

Just as the system had said, the worms could not swim. They could only lie on the riverbank and watch as Huanhuan was washed away by the river until she could no longer be seen.

After Huanhuan fell into the water, she paddled desperately and inadvertently looked back.

The riverbank was full of mosaics.

Huanhuan: “…”

‘At this point, you still didn’t forget to mosaic the sight for me. You’re really a good father!’

The river was too fast, and Huanhuan choked several times.

She used all her strength to swim for a distance. In the end, she sank because she was exhausted.

She couldn’t breathe underwater. Huanhuan’s lungs were about to explode, and her head was dizzy from lack of oxygen.

Her vision gradually blurred.

A gentle white ball of light flew out of her body.

The ball of light turned into a handsome man in the water. His long pale golden hair spread in the water. He reached out to hug Huanhuan and swam toward the shore.

Huanhuan was half-conscious. She felt someone hug her, but she couldn’t see his face clearly. She could only see that his hair was a beautiful color. It was pale gold and as beautiful and gentle as moonlight.

Huanhuan was lowered to the riverbank. In the moonlight, she could vaguely see the man’s face.

In that instant, she thought she saw a god.

The man put his hand over her eyes. “Go to sleep.”

Huanhuan quickly fell asleep.

…

Bai Di and the beast soldiers finally caught He Xuan in the depths of the forest.

He was in a terrible state. Not only was he delirious, but he was also convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

The beast soldiers who followed him helped him up and wanted to take him back.

However, they had only taken two steps when they heard a cry. He Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a large pile of pink worms!

The beast soldiers were stunned.

What was going on?!

Bai Di’s expression changed when he saw the worms. “Retreat!” he shouted. “Stay away from these worms!”

The beast soldiers quickly retreated. Two of them were slightly slower because they had to support He Xuan. They were immediately surrounded by the worms.

The worms crawled up their ankles at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever they crawled, they would leave red marks that would quickly fester and bleed.

The worms crawled into the bodies of the two beast soldiers through their eyes, noses, and ears. The rest saw the worms eating the two soldiers’ internal organs.

In the blink of an eye, the two beast soldiers were dead.

They fell to the ground, their intestines pierced and their bodies covered in pink worms.

Everyone present was shocked by this.

They didn’t dare to delay any longer. They picked up He Xuan and ran back.

The worms chased after them.

However, they were still not as fast as the beasts. After chasing for a while, they were left behind.

Bai Di and the others finally relaxed.

They returned to the camp only to find it in chaos as well.

When Bai Di saw that his and Huanhuan’s tent had been burned beyond recognition, his heart sank!
