Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1829: Chapter 1829: Skeleton Insect

Huh? Did I use too much force?

Ye Haochuan looked suspiciously at the seven small sections in his hand. This skeleton insect seemed lifeless. He remembered that from the moment he saw it, he never sensed any sign of life from the skeleton insect.

”Damn it, was it pretending to be dead? But that’s too short a time, isn’t it?”

Ye Haochuan was puzzled when he suddenly discovered the seven sections started moving again, and then they gathered together once more.

”It’s actually different again!”

Ye Haochuan was surprised to find that the shape formed by the seven sections was different from the last time. He recalled that when he first caught the skeleton insect.

The opponent stood upright like a bamboo pole on the ground, and the second time it combined, it formed an L-shaped object.

This third time was even better, it turned into a curved arc shape, and in the middle of this arc, the two linked sections were slightly misaligned.

The people from the Secret Realm continued flying ahead, while the Xuanmen cultivators were following the Secret Realm people. At this moment, Senior Feng heard the commotion from behind, and couldn’t help but look back, immediately frightened.

”Throw it away, quickly throw those things away!”

Senior Feng shouted loudly, and the people from the Secret Realm turned around. When they saw the actions of the Xuanmen cultivators, they were initially shocked and then quickly moved away from them.

They then drew their weapons, watching those still holding the skeleton insects with grave expressions and complex looks on their faces.

”Aren’t you afraid to die, daring to hold such things?”

Old Evil Zong saw Ye Haochuan also holding a skeleton insect and sneered coldly in his heart. These skeleton insects are bizarre objects; even he wouldn’t dare touch them much.

”Hmm!”

After hearing Senior Feng’s words, many people were surprised. Although they didn’t understand, they quickly threw away the skeleton insects they had picked up.

”Huh?”

Ye Haochuan was ready to discard the skeleton insect in his hand when he suddenly noticed fine threads extending from its body, constantly twitching.

However, since Ye Haochuan’s body was protected by a layer of Heart Thunder Armor, these threads couldn’t affect him at all. If Ye Haochuan hadn’t carefully sensed them, he wouldn’t have noticed these threads at all.

Drip, drip~

Suddenly, a strange noise sounded, though very faint, it was still easily heard by everyone due to their cultivation.

”No... no...”

Only then did everyone notice that a Xuanmen expert hadn’t caught up with the team, squatting alone in the void behind, staring in horror at his hand.

And from his hand, drops of fresh blood were continuously seeping and dripping down, and the noise everyone heard earlier was indeed the sound of his blood dripping.

”Bad... everyone must not go near him, he’s going to mutate!”

Upon seeing this, Senior Feng exclaimed in alarm.

”Zhang Di, what’s happening to you?”

Meanwhile, the friend of this Xuanmen expert, seeing trouble, turned and flew toward him.

”Don’t approach him!”

Senior Feng, upon seeing this, flickered and blocked this person’s path, shook his head and sighed: ”He’s beyond saving now, the best solution is direct obliteration.”

”What?”

This person was startled by the words, suddenly recalling what Senior Feng had said about mutation earlier; but caring too much for his friend, he hadn’t paid attention.

At this moment, the sound of ”whoosh whoosh whoosh” arose, and the Xuanmen cultivators looked toward the source of the sound. They all instantly froze.

”These skeleton insects have no wings, yet can fly?”

Like him, all the Xuanmen cultivators were stunned, as they saw those, originally motionless, sesame-sized skeleton insects on the ground.

They all shot toward the Xuanmen cultivator with the bleeding hand like rockets, quickly enveloping him; the quantity of these skeleton insects needed to be calculated in billions.

The poor Xuanmen cultivator, once enveloped by the countless skeleton insects, cried even louder, soon starting to attack his own body incessantly.

He smacked down many skeleton insects with each hit, but there were too many of them. After hitting them more than ten times, hardly any reduction in their number was seen.

And on the ground, more skeleton insects continued shooting over, filling the spaces of those fallen ones, many of which, once paused in mid-air, shot back again.

”Alas... once you’re injured, the skeleton insects will swarm over at once, and if even one of them enters your body, you’re beyond salvation.”

Senior Feng explained in a low voice while blocking the cultivator’s approach: ”When you find anyone being entered by a skeleton insect, all you can do is stay away from him, or obliterate all his flesh and blood directly.”

”If you get too close, then those skeleton insects will engulf you too. Remember! Everything I am explaining now comes at the cost of blood.”

Senior Feng’s voice carried a trace of sadness besides its low tone, as they had lost too many people for this.

”Brother....”

As he gazed at his brother engulfed yet still struggling by himself against the skeleton insects, tears streamed down the blocked person’s face.

”Haochuan, what are you doing, come back!”

In that instant, everyone suddenly heard a loud yell, which turned out to be from Ye Hao. They quickly turned to look at him.

Now they saw that Ye Haochuan, who was originally flying at the forefront of the Xuanmen team, had somehow turned back, heading towards the Xuanmen expert engulfed by skeleton insects.

Soon, Ye Haochuan plunged into the swarm of skeleton insects, reaching the person attacked by them, extending a helping hand.

”Ye Hao, don’t be impulsive.”

Elder Meng suddenly blocked Ye Hao, preventing him from going in to rescue Ye Haochuan.

These skeleton insects can devour protective shields; an average Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator can last thirty seconds at most. How long can Ye Haochuan, a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, hold out?

He had long wanted Ye Haochuan dead, so how could he not seize the opportunity now?

”Ye Hao, don’t be impulsive, these exotic beasts have very strange abilities. If you accidentally get caught, we won’t be able to enter Endless Clouds, right Senior Feng?”

Old Evil Zong also let out a sinister laugh, blocking Ye Hao’s way while asking Senior Feng.

”Damn it!”

Ye Hao angrily shouted, swinging his spear, a violent momentum sweeping forward overwhelmingly.

”Ye Hao, we’re doing this for your own good!”

Elder Meng’s saber flickered, blocking Ye Hao’s spear diagonally.
