Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Battle of Bugs!
Watching the two sides about to engage in a serious fight, Huang Xiaolong just chuckled on the side, not saying a single word.
At this moment, Wen Bin said with a smile on his face, “Alright everyone, calm down. Miss Ji, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Our Boss Mo is a legitimate businessman, how could he possibly send an assassin to kill you?”
Ji Yianxue responded coldly, “Wen Bin, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me, you’ve never been to the Binhai First People’s Hospital morgue! However, I am sorry to disappoint you, I am still alive! Your ‘corpse ghosts’ have been obliterated by Little Long!”
“Eh? Corpse ghosts? Miss Ji, I’m growing more and more confused by what you’re saying.” Wen Bin shook his head, looking utterly lost.
After a moment, Wen Bin added with a chuckle, “Miss Ji, this is not your Ji Family’s turf. If you can come, then why can’t I? However, it is not easy to enter Long Village from here… see, this old man doesn’t allow us to enter rashly.”
With that, Wen Bin turned his attention to the old man sitting outside the straw hut. “Elder, how about this, I’ll give you 2 million. Please make an exception and let us in.”
The elderly man grinned toothily showing several missing teeth, his peals of laughter unimpeded by the cold wind. “To enter Long Village, one must abide by our village’s rules.”
“Damn it! What kind of rules? Old man, you are selling seniority! We are gracing your tiny hillbilly village with our presence, and you dare to block our way? Do you believe that I could kill everyone in Long Village?” At Wen Bin’s side, a sharp-eyed man suddenly flew into a rage. He pulled out a suppressed Desert Eagle from his chest and pointed it directly at the old man’s head. “Do you believe I could blow your head off with a single shot? Damn it, some old geezer! The rules of Long Village? Under my gun, my rules are the greatest!”
“Adong, put away your gun!” Wen Bin reprimanded.
However, the old man seemed utterly unfazed by the business end of a gun pointed at him. His laughter grew even louder. “Massacre in Long Village? Young man, you won’t be able to walk out of here alive. What a pity, what a pity,” he lamented.
Then, without giving the man another glance, he looked towards the setting sun at the horizon and shook his head.
The big black dog lying at his feet didn’t bother to lift its head to look either.
“Bro Bin, we don’t need to talk reason with this old bastard. Let’s just go straight in.” The man holding the Desert Eagle walked around the straw hut towards the mountain pass behind it.
“Adong, come back!” Wen Bin seemed to be cautious, not daring to take a step forward.
“Hahaha, Bro Bin, let’s enter Long Village.” The gun-wielding man turned around and chuckled.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed, “That guy is going to die soon.”
“Huh?” Ji Yianxue, Xia Jian, and Ouyang Lingling all turned their gaze on Huang Xiaolong.
“He seems fine, and might not necessarily die. Besides, an old, decrepit man wouldn’t be able to suddenly become a murderer, right?” Ouyang Lingling challenged skeptically.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled and pointed to the fields of herbs in front. “Look, they planted ascendant hemp, peony, balloonflower, muskmelon root, and rose… all these herbs are used to cure Gu. They are all anti-Gu medicines.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, Ji Yianxue and the others were all puzzled.
Suddenly, the old man sitting on the Taishi chair seemed to have overheard Huang Xiaolong’s words and looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
Just then!
“Ahhhh!!”
The gun-wielding man suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail!
He convulsed all over, unable to keep his grip on the Desert Eagle, and dropped it on the ground!
“Pain~~~ Ah~~~ Bro Bin! It feels like… like there are… lots… lots of bugs biting… inside my body~~ Ah~~~ It’s killing me, it’s killing me, help~~~~~”
As he screamed, a significant lump suddenly appeared on his back, at the location of his Dazhui acupoint!
Soon, this lump grew bigger and bigger, like an inflating balloon
Finally!
Boom~~~~~!!
A loud blast was heard, and the lump exploded. Even the man’s shirt was torn apart!
The next moment, something completely terrifying happened!
From the lump, hundreds of tiny centipedes squirmed out like lice! Then they swarmed under the man’s skin like leeches. Afterwards, another lump swelled from the man’s rear, exploding again, and a dense mass of younger centipedes crawled out…
This horrifying scene repeated itself again and again.
The man couldn’t bear the pain any longer and squirmed on the ground like a rolled-up gourd, his screams echoing like the howl of a ghost.
In no time at all, his entire body dissolved into a pool of bloody liquid which seeped into the ground, leaving no trace of his existence.
“Ah~,Ah~ Adong…” Wen Bin’s body trembled slightly.
Both the elders and the followers under Wen Bin’s command showed horrified expressions on their faces, staring at the old man in shock.
Even the three Grandmasters brought by Wen Bin felt their scalps tingling.
“Bro… Bro Bin… as expected… it was… Gu… the rumours… were… were not wrong…” A lean man next to Wen Bin stammered.
At the same time, Ji Yianxue and Ouyang Lingling couldn’t help turning their heads away.
Xia Jian turned a little pale. Having trained in martial arts all his life and killed quite a few people, he had never witnessed a death like this before, where the person completely dissolved into a pool of blood. He managed to mutter, “Huang… Mr. Huang, did… did you know this would happen?”
“Didn’t I say before, the herbs planted in the field are all anti-Gu medicines. This indicates that the old man is good at raising Gu worms. Therefore… the guy who was just disrespectful was probably infected with Gu immediately. That would cause him to die instantly.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.
Despite witnessing such a terrifying scene, Huang Xiaolong seemed completely unaffected.
“Okay! Elder, we will follow the rules of Long Village!” Finally, Wen Bin decided with determination. “We’ve done our research beforehand. The Long Village has an odd rule: those who want to enter the village have to go to the Poison Dragon Cave to find a poisonous insect. If the poisonous insect we find can defeat the one you raise, then we get the qualifications to enter the village. Okay! Let’s go find it now!”
After witnessing the old man’s impressive and terrifying Gu skills firsthand, Wen Bin mustered a new respect towards him and decided to abide by the rules.
Despite having brought many people with him, including three Grandmasters in ancient martial arts, they would pay a heavy price if they chose to barge in.
Besides, Wen Bin had done his homework about entering the Long Village. He even invited a “Bug Tamer” to come along with him.
“Yes, outsiders cannot break the rules of Long Village.” The old man stretched lazily, then turned his gaze to Ji Yianxue, “Young lady, do you want to enter the village too?”
“Yes, old grandpa, I would like to enter the village.” Ji Yianxue nodded.
“Alright then. Only one of your two groups can enter the village. According to the rules, we have an insect battle! From now on, you will both go to the Poison Dragon Cave to find a poisonous insect. You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After finding an insect, you’ll pit it against each other. Whoever finds the stronger insect gets to enter the village. Understand?”
The old man said in a laid-back manner.
