Chapter 201: Chapter 172: Thousand-Year-Old Tomb 1 - Thousand Corpse Worms_6

Tianshi and Dark Dragon, along with the remaining assassins from the Shi Organization, caught up, their faces still showing traces of fear.

Tianshi raised his gun and walked towards the two individuals, looking fiercely at Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin, "Master Mo, today you have caused us to lose many companions, I’m afraid I can’t take you back alive."

Dark Dragon and the other assassins also stepped in front of the two, raising their guns, ready to kill them as soon as Tianshi gave the word.

"Goodbye, Master Mo. If you go to Hell, don’t blame us brothers. Kill them," Tianshi coldly said.

The other assassins prepared to pull the trigger, but Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin swiftly kicked at Dark Dragon and Tianshi facing them, causing their guns to fire towards the ceiling of the cave, loud gunshots echoing along with rustling sounds.

Soon after, a black beetle-like insect fell from above the cave, with a pair of cold eyes, dark and shiny, and a feeler in the middle of its head; it scurried away after landing but seemed to smell something and directly crawled towards Dark Dragon.

Dark Dragon, startled, raised his gun and harshly shot the insect on the ground; it burst open, spattering a greenish-black liquid.

Dark Dragon let out a triumphant smile; although he wasn’t scared of insects, he despised these little creatures the most and, since this one dared to crawl towards him, he had to deal with it properly.

On the other hand, Qin Qin’s ears were more sensitive than others. She heard the sound of many tiny creatures near her and looked up to see a swarm of insects like the one before scattering in all directions. She hadn’t noticed the insect that Dark Dragon had killed, but now the mass of what looked like thousands of insects above made her complexion change drastically—it was the Thousand Corpse Worms!

"Mo Yunchen, we need to get out of here now! It’s dangerous!" For the first time, Qin Qin urgently exclaimed as she pulled Mo Yunchen, ready to leave.

Seeing that Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin were preparing to flee, Tianshi and Dark Dragon again pointed their guns at them, "Master Mo, where do you think you’re going? Do you think you can escape?"

Dark Dragon got ready to shoot when more insects fell from the cave ceiling, this time landing directly on his head and shoulders. He cried out, brushing several insects off his shoulder to the ground, "Damn it, what’s this? More of these bugs!"

Just as he knocked the insects from his shoulder, Dark Dragon felt a sharp pain on his scalp. He screamed, feeling something crawl inside his head, causing him to drop his gun and cover his head in agony.

"Dark Dragon, what’s going on?" Tianshi watched as Dark Dragon’s complexion turned crimson, his eyes bulged, and he clutched his head, letting out painful screams while hoarsely shouting in agony toward Tianshi,

Dark Dragon collapsed to the ground with a crash, and soon there was no sound; then a pile of insects fell from above, and thousands of them surrounded Dark Dragon’s body. In moments, only his skeleton remained.

Seeing this scene, Tianshi, despite his extensive experience in combat and killing, and the other assassins retreated in horror.

"What the hell is this place? Damn it!" After cursing, Tianshi, and the others had no time to worry about Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin.

A swarm of Thousand Corpse Worms devoured Dark Dragon’s body, leaving behind a blood-red skeleton, and then scattered. They had been disturbed and were now following the scent of flesh and blood.

Tianshi and the others attempted to flee, but the Thousand Corpse Worms were especially swift, consuming the assassins at the rear. The frightened assassins raised their guns to shoot at the worms, while others tried to stomp them quickly. However, once the greenish-black liquid splashed onto their faces and exposed skin, emitting a corrosive odor, they screamed in pain and were soon killed by the oncoming swarm of Thousand Corpse Worms, leaving behind only bloody skeletons.

Tianshi and two other assassins, running faster than the rest, fled directly out, disregarding their comrades being devoured behind them.

Seeing the Thousand Corpse Worms rapidly pursuing them, Qin Qin took out her specially made Insect Repellent Potion from her space and scattered it around, keeping the worms at bay. She urged Mo Yunchen to quickly find a way out.

"What is this place?" Mo Yunchen, with narrowed eyes and a grim expression, watched the terrifying insects. He had seen many poisonous bugs before, but this was his first time encountering such ferocious ones—a single little bug that could pierce through a person’s head and even feast on blood and flesh.

"Are these Thousand Corpse Worms?! A terrifying type of insect! These Thousand Corpse Worms are incredibly potent, and my Insect Repellent Potion probably can only last a short while, you must hurry and find an exit."

At the moment, in this tomb chamber, she saw only the same entrance they had come in through, but now that entrance was covered with those insects, and they couldn’t possibly cross it. Their only hope was to find another way out.

The Thousand Corpse Worms revealed their ferocious appearance, seemingly trying to break through the barrier of her scattered potion.

She remembered when she first encountered these insects, it was a general who had brought them. He was a martial artist of exceptional skill. On one unlucky venture, he stumbled into a remote area inhabited by a particularly terrifying tribe where he saw these creatures. Only a few dozen of these worms broke through his army of hundreds, and he nearly died when one of the Thousand Corpse Worms burrowed into his hand, pierced the center of his palm, and crawled inside. He immediately chopped off his own hand, captured the worm, and brought it to her, recounting his ordeal in the hopes that she could concoct a powder to combat these corpse worms. Eventually, she did create it, and with her powder, the one-armed general was able to annihilate that tribe.

But now, she had never anticipated encountering these Thousand Corpse Worms, and in such vast numbers, she had only concocted some common repellents, barely enough to hold out for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, Mo Yunchen felt a hollow in the wall and removed a brick to reveal a button mechanism. After inspecting it, he pressed it, and a secret door opened upward from the side of his body.

Qin Qin kept an eye on the movements of the Thousand Corpse Worms when she saw the door being opened, a look of relief flashed across her face. But in the next moment, the worms seemed to no longer fear her repellent, rapidly rushing towards Qin Qin, Mo Yunchen, and Xiao Bai.

Without a second thought, Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen dashed through the Stone Gate. The Thousand Corpse Worms appeared reluctant to enter this door, and Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin, unaware, sighed with relief and shut the door behind them.

Mo Yunchen looked at the sweat beading on Qin Qin’s forehead, gently wiping it away for her.

Raising her hand to her lips, Qin Qin gazed tenderly at Mo Yunchen. At this moment, there was a joy of surviving a disaster and reuniting with a loved one.

"That was close. Escaping from the mouths of the Thousand Corpse Worms means we are both quite fortunate," Qin Qin said with a sigh, still shaken by the previous events, even she couldn’t help but shudder.

"Yes! We will be fine, I am still looking forward to taking you home to warm my bed," Mo Yunchen said, lifting a wickedly charming smile.

Qin Qin wanted to cover her forehead; she had a headache. This man was always like this!

"Now you’re being improper again!"

Mo Yunchen held her hand, a smile still playing on his lips. In fact, he was comforting her, trying to chase away the lingering fear in her heart.

"Let’s go, let’s find the way," he said.

Here was another corridor; this tomb was really big and seemed to be very dangerous. They had to be even more vigilant.

After walking for a good while, they found another Stone Gate. This time they dared not open it carelessly. What if it led to another swarm of Thousand Corpse Worms?

But this was the only door there, the rest were just corridors.

"Damn it! Lord Tianshi, we’ve lost so many men this time, and even Lord Dark Dragon and Charming Fox are dead. How are we going to explain this to boss?"

As Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin hesitated, they heard the voices of Tianshi’s group not far away. Their expressions turned severe, and they had no choice but to enter the Stone Gate.
