A hurried voice of Lao Bai and Lao Hei echoed in his mind.

Ye Chenfeng also realized the horror of the so-called Brain-Eating Ghost Insect, otherwise Lao Bai and Lao Hei would not be so serious about it.

Looking at Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng, whose auras were also surging, it was absolutely impossible to escape from here at the fastest speed, as Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng would definitely obstruct him.

A rustling sound came from the distant bushes on the right, and two figures moved swiftly toward them.

These two figures were two old men, their strengths respectively at the Initial Stage and Middle Stage of the Heavenly God Realm, and they were ancestors of two Sects in Central State.

These two old men were dressed in black and white clothes, smiling as they approached Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng. The old man in black laughed and said, "Brother Luo, Brother Jin, what a coincidence. You are quite lucky to have run into Ye Chenfeng so quickly! It seems it’s very difficult to make you owe a favor."

Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng were naturally unaware that the Brain-Eating Ghost Insect underground was awakening. They greeted the black and white-robed old men, but their eyes never left Ye Chenfeng, not giving him any chance to escape.

Ye Chenfeng’s mind was racing. If space law wasn’t restricted here, he wouldn’t worry at all; he could just take Bai Xiaorou and Tan Yuanwu into the small world of the Chaos Ring. But now Bai Xiaorou and Tan Yuanwu were injured, and with Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng’s obstruction, taking them out of this forest at the speed necessary was almost impossible.

The black and white-robed old men naturally didn’t know Ye Chenfeng’s combat power. They thought they could easily settle the matter. With Tan Yuanwu, the strongest among the three, heavily injured, only Ye Chenfeng at the Initial Stage of the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly God Realm was left, which should be easy for them!

When the aura within the black and white-robed old men suddenly surged,

the air was filled with continuous cracking sounds. The ground around and throughout the forest floor was covered with countless fissures.

Soon, a "buzz buzz buzz" sound erupted in the air, similar to the fluttering of mosquito wings.

This sudden change left everyone but Ye Chenfeng slightly stunned.

Ye Chenfeng murmured to Bai Xiaorou and Tan Yuanwu, "Be careful, if anything happens, we’ll immediately head out of the forest."

The "buzz buzz! buzz buzz!" sound continued to echo.

The noise from the ground around the black and white-robed old men became increasingly clear, though from the soil beneath Ye Chenfeng and his companions, it was not as distinct.

When Luo Qianjiang, Jin Hongsheng, and the black and white-robed old men snapped out of their confusion, wanting to ask each other what was going on, several black dots suddenly shot out rapidly from the ground near the black and white-robed old men, moving faster than the eye could catch.

Each black dot was about the size of a small fingernail, this scant handful of black dots all shot decisively toward the black and white-robed elders nearby.

Though the black and white-robed elders were strong at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, they quickly formed a layer of spiritual energy protection around themselves.

However.

They underestimated the power of these black dots, which could easily dissolve spiritual energy protection, rendering it ineffective against them.

As their spiritual energy defense dissolved, the black and white-robed elders tried to react, but it was too late as all these black dots plunged into their foreheads, burrowing into their heads.

"Ah! Ah!"

Agonizing screams erupted from the throats of the black and white-robed elders as they clutched their heads, veins bulging on their foreheads, faces twisted with pain.

The spiritual energy within their bodies exploded to the extreme, trying to expel the foreign intruders from their heads, but to no avail.

The black and white-robed elders fell to one knee on the ground, feeling as if something was taking bites out of their brains, the agony drenching their clothing in sweat, ripping cries escaping from their throats relentlessly.

Their hands gripping their heads tightened more and more, ultimately crushing their own skulls with a "bang! bang!" sound.

So two strong practitioners at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm died just like that? So easily?

The bodies of the black and white-robed elders lay on the ground, brain matter missing from their heads. This time, Ye Chenfeng and the others clearly saw the black dots that entered their brains were actually tiny black insects about the size of a small fingernail.

These black insects looked like miniature caterpillars, but with multiple pairs of wings on their sides. Initially, they were too fast for Ye Chenfeng and his companions to discern their true form.

The black insects kept eating away at the gray matter of the black and white-robed elders, moving back and forth within their skulls.

Taking advantage of this gap,

Ye Chenfeng, who had prepared, pulled Bai Xiaorou and Tan Yuanwu, saying, "Quick, we must leave immediately."

He now fully realized these creatures were Brain-Eating Ghost Insects.

But as soon as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking,

dense black dots flew up from the ground all around, quickly ascending into the sky. Ye Chenfeng and his companions, trying to leave, would inevitably confront these Brain-Eating Ghost Insects directly.

Almost every exit route was filled with Brain-Eating Ghost Insects, and at that moment, they were completely surrounded by them, leaving no gap for escape.

Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng, seeing this, snapped back to their senses. Although Brain-Eating Ghost Insects had been extinct in the Tian Xuan Realm for countless years, they, as ancestors of the Xiao Yao Palace and the Jins, had read many ancient texts, including those describing these insects.

Thus, they recognized the origin of these insects.

Renowned as terrifying creatures, even strong practitioners at the Divine King Realm dreaded encountering Brain-Eating Ghost Insects.

Now, seeing the overwhelming swarm of Brain-Eating Ghost Insects, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng’s expressions turned incredibly grim. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
