The spider’s carcass collapsed to the ground.
Lu Xia also fell into the dust.
At this moment, he should have been dead already, it was only because of the last trace of vital blood from his life Gu that he hadn’t breathed his last.
It was at this time that a flurry of disordered footsteps came from the mouth of the cave.
Ah Fei led the elders of Miao Immortal Valley as they rushed in.
When they saw the tragic scene before them, Ah Fei’s entire body trembled.
He, who had never believed in deities, was now silently praying, begging gods and Buddhas to bless, bless my master to be safe and sound!
But when he saw Lu Xia lying on the ground, covered in gruesome wounds.
Ah Fei’s legs finally gave way, and he knelt on the ground, feeling darkness closing in around him.
“Master!” Ah Fei, with trembling hands, gently cradled Lu Xia’s head, as large teardrops fell onto Lu Xia’s forehead.
Lu Xia mustered his last bit of strength and slowly opened his eyes.
Ah Fei, ecstatic, yelled, “Master, master hold on, I will take you to be healed right now!”
Lu Xia faintly blinked, which was the last movement he could muster, then his lips lightly moved as if he wanted to say something.
Ah Fei hurriedly put his ear close.
He heard Lu Xia say in an extremely weak voice, “The Seal is broken, notify the military!”
Ah Fei felt a chill run through his body, and his tears streamed down even more wildly, “Yes!”
At that moment, Lu Xia’s complexion actually seemed to improve, then he turned his head to face an elder with a face full of sorrow and said, “After my death, Ah Fei will be the Gu Master!”
The many elders and clanspeople, upon hearing these words, couldn’t help but start sobbing, then they lamented in unison, “Yes!”
A smile appeared on Lu Xia’s lips, and the light in his eyes visibly dimmed at a rate visible to the naked eye, then he murmured softly, “Ancestors, I have not disgraced Gu Masters!”
With that, the light in Lu Xia’s eyes dissipated, and the spark of life was completely extinguished!
Ah Fei felt as though the world had suddenly gone quiet.
He held his increasingly stiff master, yet his mind kept replaying those past images.
Xiangjiang’s frustration with him, the gifting of the Gu King’s egg, and the earnest teachings after returning to Miao Immortal Valley.
All these memories made Ah Fei burst into loud sobs.
Because he knew, the master who had been the kindest to him in the world, had departed!
The elders wept one by one, and after a while, one elder stepped forward and said, “Lord Ah Fei, now is not the time for tears, what did the Gu Master say to you? And what is the deal with these Gu worms?”
By now, the elders had noticed the corpses of the Insect Tribe on the ground, and they all looked alarmed.
Ah Fei gradually ceased his wailing and said somewhat blankly, “Master said, the Seal is broken, these Gu insects have all run out from there!”
The Seal?
Many people looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what he meant, only a few of the eldest elders turned pale all at once.
“The legend is actually true!” an elder said with a face full of horror.
“What do we do now?” another elder asked.
“How about we evacuate from here quickly! If the legend is true, it will be a catastrophe for heaven and earth, we simply can’t withstand it!” suggested an elder.
Many were still at a loss.
Then the eldest elder sighed and looked into the depths of Insect Immortal Cave with terror-filled eyes, “Miao Immortal Valley has passed down a legend from our ancestors, saying that deep inside Insect Immortal Cave there is a seal from ancient times. If the Seal loosens, monstrous insects will appear in this world! But the entire legend is too ancient, and since no one has ever seen it, many believed it to be untrue!”
“Yet unexpectedly, this day has truly arrived! And these early-arriving monstrous insects must only be for scouting; there will be a continuous appearance of more insects in waves!”
The words of the Great Elder whitened everyone’s faces.
Some who were timid were hurriedly saying, “I think what the Third Elder just said is right, we should retreat from here quickly. If no mythical insects manifest, that would be even better, but if they do, our losses won’t be too severe!”
“Indeed!”
All of them had lost their courage.
After all, even the Gu Master wasn’t a match for these mythical insects, let alone themselves!
Just then, Ah Fei stood up while holding his master’s body, a look of profound hatred gradually appearing on his face.
“If you want to leave, then leave! I won’t go,” Ah Fei said indifferently.
An elder couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah Fei, I know you’re upset, but this isn’t about acting on loyalty. How about we leave for a few days and play it by ear?”
Ah Fei turned his head to glance at the elder and said lightly, “Master said to notify the military!”
Notify the military?
The crowd looked at each other.
Finally, the Great Elder nodded, “I think that’s the only thing we can do! Someone, block the entrance to the Insect Immortal Cave with boulders!”
“Yes!”
But by this moment, Ah Fei had already walked away with Lu Xia’s body.
The onlookers watched his back, shaking their heads in silence.
Although Ah Fei had been making rapid progress, his strength was far from being the strongest in Miao Immortal Valley.
Everyone wondered why the Gu Master would choose to pass his position on to him.
Very soon.
The entrance to the Insect Immortal Cave was sealed off with large boulders.
These boulders gave a strong sense of security, making it seem as if the legends couldn’t be true.
But the Great Elder still sent a message to the military through his connections.
Today, Commander Hu was in a very good mood.
Because his meticulously trained Blood Qilin Special Forces had just won first place in a competition.
This made Commander Hu feel that his efforts had not been in vain.
“Hehe, tell me, how does our Blood Qilin compare to the Fire Phoenix?” Commander Hu asked with a smile to his aide.
“Of course, our Blood Qilin is stronger! That Fire Phoenix just relies on its early fame; it’s really all bark and no bite!” the aide quickly said.
“Bullshit!” Commander Hu’s expression darkened as he cursed.
The aide hurriedly bowed his head.
Commander Hu said, “Although I also believe that our Blood Qilin is the strongest, the Fire Phoenix is not to be taken lightly! Don’t you even understand the principle of despising the enemy strategically, but taking them seriously tactically?”
The aide’s face was covered in cold sweat, unable to lift his head after the scolding.
Just then, Commander Hu sighed, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes, “General Lin, oh General Lin, it’s a pity you died early. Otherwise, I would have definitely defeated your Fire Phoenix in front of you! I wanted to let you know what truly is the number one special forces!”
Ever since Commander Hu’s troops were defeated by the Fire Phoenix, which Xue An had trained for only seven days, he had taken it to heart.
Now, he finally felt that the hope for revenge had arrived, but General Lin was no longer in this world!
While he was reminiscing, a staff officer ran over, whispering into Commander Hu’s ear, “Commander, there’s a call from the Great Elder of Miao Immortal Valley, reporting suspicious mythical insect sightings!”
Commander Hu’s eyes lit up.
