Chapter 1040: Worm Gu

n you're still so confident" Su Jinpa asked."While we may have some grasp of the situation, it's impossible to guarantee success. This matter is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but the potential...Chapter 1040: Gu Worms

On the Eastern Palace side, they were already at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers. With Su Ping's northward troop movement, the situation on the battlefield immediately became even more unfavorable.

Had these soldiers not been the elite of the elite, they would have surely collapsed long ago.

Even so, the circle of protection they organized continues to shrink relentlessly.

Standing before the gate of Taimiao Temple, Li Chen could even clearly see the lines of battle clashing and advancing towards him.

Just as Su Pingbei had just left, dozens of figures in black suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

As they appeared, the three treasures who had always guarded Li Chen's side suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, it was the Miao people who made a move."

"Okay."

Li Chen nodded, his eyes cold and clear, as if completely unsurprised.

After knowing the backgrounds of Li Yinhǔ and Zhou Xíngjiǎ, if he still wasn't wary of gu worms, then he deserved to die.

As soon as those dozens of men in black appeared, they didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately started releasing the insects.

Just like on the mountainside, countless black insects emerged from all directions.

These black bugs are like a sea of darkness. Once they touch anything, they immediately swarm and bite.

The buildings on the ground, the corpses, even the discarded blood-stained weapons and armor, all became their food.

These sudden locusts caused great panic on the battlefield.

Countless soldiers, regardless of friend or foe, were immediately devoured by these black insects upon encountering them.

Just seeing this scene would make your scalp tingle.

“Li Yinhu, he's really ruthless.”

Li Chen saw with his own eyes as the insect tide swallowed up a dozen wounded rebel soldiers who hadn't been able to dodge in time. In the blink of an eye, they were completely consumed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Go ahead."

Sǎnbǎo bowed slightly, then took out a signal arrow from his bosom. With a flick of his hand, the signal arrow shot into the air and exploded in mid-air.

This is the common action signal used by the Jinyiwei.

After the signal exploded, more than ten light-kung fu masters carefully selected by the Jinyiwei appeared. They carried a heavy wooden barrel in their hands, vibrating their internal energy to the fullest and leaping over the insect tide at the fastest speed.

As they leaped, they smashed the wooden buckets in their hands down.

What is that

Li Yinhu also saw these dozen or so Jinyiwei masters.

"Do a dozen martial arts experts think they can break my Gu worms Li Chen must be dreaming." Li Yinhu laughed arrogantly.

But Zhou Xingjia, who stood beside him, shuddered and turned pale. "It's kerosene!"

"Kerosene"

Li Yinhu was taken aback, then a chill ran down his spine.

Those ten or so large barrels crashed down, and the kerosene instantly spread out, its pungent smell overpowering even the stench of blood on the scene.

Then, a rocket flew in, not aimed at people or animals, landing right in the middle of the swarm of insects.

Whew!

In an instant, a huge fire erupted.

The fire, fueled by the oil-soaked expanse, swept through the entire swarm of insects.

In the midst of a sea of flames, there were incessant screeches as insects were consumed by fire, mingled with the peculiar scent of charred flesh.

And that's not all.

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Gong Huiyu.

Gong Huiyu, who had remained motionless on the roof, slowly rose to her feet.

Like a moon goddess, with one step she vanished into the cool moonlight.

At the next blink, a flash of white suddenly appeared among the dozens of black-clad figures at the edge of the battlefield.

Then blood blossomed everywhere.

Palace Huiyu, take action.

Those dozens of Zhou Xingjia's meticulously cultivated Gu insect elites were killed in an instant.Chapter 630: A Difficult Situation
