Chapter 613: Chapter 610 Bones Don’t Exist

"Save me, save me!" A weak voice came through, that of Miyajima Tairo, who lay on the ground.

At this moment in the greenhouse, only Lin Tian, Ning Luoxi, the Heavenly Master Girl, Kikuchi Mika, Nishio Yoshiaki, and Miyajima Tairo remained. Miyajima Tairo was alone and closest to the incoming tide of insects.

The nearest Gu Worms were now within three meters of him. It seemed the Gu could smell the blood from Miyajima Tairo’s crotch, suddenly accelerating their crawl towards him en masse.

As countless Gu Worms drew near, Miyajima Tairo turned pale with fear and let out a feeble cry for help. But how could Lin Tian possibly save him, let alone Kikuchi Mika, who wished he would just die?

As for Nishio Yoshiaki, having just escaped a close call in the tunnel, he was still unsettled and obviously wouldn’t attempt to rescue Miyajima Tairo.

Miyajima Tairo’s cries for help didn’t result in rescue. Out of desperation, his survival instincts kicked in, and he somehow managed to stand, ignoring the intense pain of his crushed genitals and tried to run.

But before he could take a step, some spider-like Gu Worms suddenly leaped high out of the swarm and latched onto Miyajima Tairo, burrowing into his clothes.

Miyajima Tairo’s body stiffened and he fell rigidly to the ground. He struggled to get up, but he couldn’t move.

"Damn, that’s some potent paralyzing toxin!" Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise, seeing Miyajima Tairo’s condition – unable to move at all, surely due to the poison from those spider Gu, likely a paralyzing agent.

Ning Luoxi added, "Spiders all black with a distinct red hourglass on their abdomen – those are Black Widow Spiders. Being poisoned by a Black Widow usually doesn’t cause death, but it can lead to paralysis of the spine or brain, along with severe muscle spasms, and loses the ability to move."

"I know Black Widow Spiders. These, aside from the red pattern on their abdomen, also have a red mark on their tails, and they are somewhat larger. I fear they are a variant breed of spider Gu cultivated by the Gu Cultivator," Lin Tian said.

As the two of them spoke, the Gu had already crawled onto Miyajima Tairo, and moreover, he was conscious. His mouth hung open due to the paralysis, and he could only watch helplessly as the Gu crawled into it.

The scene was too cruel, Kikuchi Mika and Nishio Yoshiaki turned their heads away, unable to watch directly.

If a person is to face retribution for their bad deeds, this was Miyajima Tairo’s. His body was gnawed by the Gu, his organs slowly hollowed out, and the pain of his crushed manhood was nothing compared to the agony of being devoured by the swarm of worms.

Soon after, Miyajima Tairo vanished from sight, no longer needing to endure the torment of being emasculated.

"Nishio Yoshiaki, it’s just you left. It seems that your Lord Gu is willing to do anything to kill me, even if it means sacrificing all of you," Lin Tian remarked with a glance at Nishio Yoshiaki, his tone mocking.

"I...I... Giving my life for the Shrine is my honor," Nishio Yoshiaki stammered. But it hardly sounded sincere.

"Then why are you edging closer to me? Have the courage to jump into the insect sea," Lin Tian said with disdain.

"I...I..." Miyajima Tairo couldn’t come up with anything to argue back.

The swarm of insects pressed closer, and suddenly, countless Black Widow Spiders jumped out from within it, lunging towards Lin Tian, Nishio Yoshiaki, and the others.

These Black Widow Spiders had been modified and mutated, possessing a jumping power so incredible that they could leap over a person’s height. Lin Tian snorted coldly and threw a punch forward. The fierce power compressed the air abruptly, emitting a sonic boom, and a circle of air ripples visible to the physical eye spread out, striking the leaping Black Widow Spiders.

The fragile bodies of the spiders were instantly shattered into powder, leaving no residue, as Lin Tian wiped out the group of spiders that pounced on him.

On the other side, Nishio Yoshiaki wasn’t so lucky. He too reached out to swat at them, but there were simply too many spiders. In an instant, they swarmed over his head and face, and like Miyajima Tairo, he stiffened and fell to the ground.

The ground was a sea of insects, and to fall meant to be overwhelmed by the ferocious Gu insects. Less than a minute had passed before Nishio Yoshiaki was gone too, meeting the same fate as Miyajima Tairo, with not a bone left behind.

"Miss Luoxi, we’re surrounded by a swarm. Where did that Granny Li you arranged run off to? Hurry up and have her show up to wipe out these bugs," Lin Tian said, looking at the ever-increasing swarm of Gu.

"Granny Li has her own business and won’t appear anymore. Besides, surely these little bugs can’t do anything to you," Ning Luoxi retorted with a glance.

"I’m not afraid, but Miss Kikuchi can’t endure this," Lin Tian said, clearly exasperated.

"I... I’m okay, if you can leave, then please go quickly. Don’t worry about me, so I won’t hold you back," Kikuchi Mika said somewhat stutteringly.

A normal girl facing countless insects would naturally be afraid; it’s common for girls to scream at the sight of a single cockroach, let alone innumerable fierce and hideous Gu insects.

"Miss Kikuchi need not say more. Since I, Lin Tian, promised to take you out, I won’t let you die here," Lin Tian said. He had laid down his word before and as a man, he couldn’t go back on it.

The distance between them and the Gu insects was closing in, five meters, four meters, three meters. However, suddenly, inside the greenhouse, there arose a strange whistling sound. Following the whistle, the countless Gu insects, like a well-trained army, actually halted.

"Lord Gu, I know you can see this place and hear my words. You think these mere Gu insects can take my life? You’re underestimating me. Better get clean and wait for me to ’teach’ you, let me show you how to be human," Lin Tian shouted up at the greenhouse.

The Gu insects had stopped upon hearing the whistle, clearly controlled by someone in the back, probably a Gu Cultivator. This Gu Cultivator was damn impressive, controlling countless insects with just a whistle as if they could withstand thousands of troops and horses in battle.

"Lin Tian, I am not a three-year-old child. There’s no need for you to provoke me to show myself with your words," the voice of the Gu Cultivator came from all directions – it was unclear how many speakers he had installed in the greenhouse – "However, I won’t kill you. I want to keep your life to trade with the Xiao Family for some items."

"Hahaha, look at you, Lord Gu, claiming you’re not a kid. I’m just a bodyguard for the Xiao Family, what could possibly be traded for me? I think your IQ is even less than a three-year-old’s," Lin Tian laughed heartily as he spoke.

"Hahaha..." the Gu Cultivator also laughed, but through the Ghost Head Mask, the sound was distorted, making it sound like a night owl and quite unpleasant. After he had his fill of laughter, he said, "You have an ambiguous relationship with the two young ladies of the Xiao Family. I think, as long as I use your life as a bargaining chip, they will agree to any of my conditions."

Damn it all, I am an honest man, his words made it sound like I’m sneaking around with the ladies. Besides, even if I really were sneaking around, I would do it openly and honorably. There’s nothing ambiguous about it, Lin Tian thought with disdain.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Lin Tian glanced over at Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl, but both beauties just rolled their eyes at him.

The Heavenly Master Girl spoke indifferently, "Stop the chatter. Everyone come over here and let me eradicate these annoying creatures!"
