The rustling of the insects suddenly stopped. Wei Xun looked at the rock wall beside him and saw a dense area of black insects completely covering the rock wall, like a plush carpet. The insects had obsidian-like carapaces, and they lifted up their upper bodies like caterpillars in the wild and seemed to hesitate as they probed their heads and looked toward Wei Xun.

But no matter what, he refused to take a step forward.

Boom!

A person descended from the sky, and they were probably the person who had controlled the wild beasts and used blood to attract insects just now. No matter how they thought about it, they probably couldn’t figure out why they came back and jumped straight down from an insanely high height. The heavenly fox didn’t have to resort to force. It could confuse all beings with only the use of illusions, and the person had fallen into the illusion.

“AH——!!”

The person fell straight onto the rock wall, screaming in pain. Their leg seemed to be broken. The severe pain woke them up, and then they saw the Insects of Evil that were densely packed around them. They didn’t say a word, but they were so frightened that they fainted.

Will this person die?

Wei Xun lightly stepped on the rock wall and approached the person’s side. The strange thing was that when he approached, the Insects of Evil that had crawled on the man’s body receded like a tide, always maintaining a distance of more than three meters from Wei Xun. Wei Xun was sure that it wasn’t the influence of the skull. After all, he hadn’t taken it out since he had entered here, and most of the insect swarms that he had repeatedly teased were dead.

Thinking of the soaring resentment, Wei Xun was already convinced that it was the influence of the golden mosquito. However, he had to continue his act, even if no audience could see what was happening in the dark, so Wei Xun still took out the gold-plated and silver-inlaid skull, pretending that the swarm was scared away by it.

The person collapsed on the rock wall cut a sorry figure. Wei Xun put his hand on the tip of their nose and pressed the side of their neck.

“Almost dead.”

“Squeak, squeak, bark, bark!”

The young fox was aggrieved and explained that this was not something it did. This person was frightened to death by the black insect swarm, and it was the insects who were to blame.

‘If this person dies, so be it. But we should see whether this person has any value.’

Wei Xun casually lifted the person’s mask and found that he was bleeding from his nose and mouth. His eyes were wide open and his expression was distorted. He died because of shock. Even though his face was twisted and deformed due to fear, Wei Xun recognized him.

A Tibetan?

This person was one of the Tibetans who had stopped them on the way up the mountain, not allowing the tour group to go up the mountain. Wei Xun had a good memory and wouldn’t mistake this person’s identity.

Why did the Tibetans want to kill them? Was it because they had entered the cave?

Was this a forbidden place for Bon believers, or were the living creatures that entered here considered sacrifices to the Insects of Evil?

‘If we caught this person alive, we could have squeezed out all the information we needed from him. Now that they’re dead, weren’t you wasting your time and effort?’ Wei Xun lectured.

The fox cub knew that it was at fault and didn’t dare to act like a spoiled child. It had an expression of repentance and agreed honestly.

‘You search them and see if you can find anything.’

Wei Xun got up. This was because the blood, soil, and black hair from the Insects of Evil had stuck to this person and were mixed together, and there was a faint stench. Wei Xun was scared that he would lose control, and he took off the gloves that had touched this person, threw them into the deep pit, and took out a pair of brand-new combat gloves he had prepared earlier.

Drawing on his experience in Intoxicating Xiangxi, he had prepared a hundred pairs of the same style of gloves and kept them in the body of the young fox.

No, I have to figure out a way to overcome being a germaphobe.

Wei Xun suddenly remembered himself after he put the gloves on his hands, and he calmed down in the next second.

No, why should I change myself? I should let the bugs learn to be hygienic.

Look at how clean the golden mosquito was. Ever since it followed Wei Xun, it now sucked blood in a gentle manner, and it paid attention to turning the other party into energy before sucking it.

In fact, even Quda was quite clean and fat, but Wei Xun didn’t like to look at it.

‘Buzz, buzz.’

The golden mosquito resentfully hummed in Wei Xun’s heart. The crisis had come too fast just now, and Wei Xun had forgotten about it, leaving it buzzing for a long time.

‘Are you down there?’

Wei Xun shut his eyes to receive the message from the golden mosquito. It was in a place deeper than 100 meters down the hole. If it was positioned according to the stone beam hanging over the giant hole, its position would be below the middle of the stone beam.

The nest of the mother of the swarm was there.

‘It’s shallower than I thought,’ Wei Xun stated. He originally thought that the nest of the mother of the swarm would be in the deepest part of the hole, and it would be at least a kilometer deep.

Unexpectedly, this lair was very close to the entrance of the cave.

Xiaojin was in a hurry. It kept buzzing and Wei Xun’s ears were so flooded with the buzzing sound that his ears felt numb. It was currently in a very strange situation. Currently, one could regard it as controlling the female insect on behalf of Wei Xun. And through the female insect, it could control the insect swarm. However, this did not mean it had absolute free reign over the situation because it was now trapped in the female insect’s lair and couldn’t leave.

In the future, it was best to let the golden mosquito evolve.

Wei Xun thought to himself that it would be better if the golden mosquito could express itself clearly.

According to Xiaojin, it was trapped in a small box and could not leave. One must know that its peculiarity lay in its silent blood-sucking and control, and its strength was not strong. It was not the kind of belligerent zerg that was like a demonic ant. Even among the demonic insects, its physique could be considered weak. If one simply trapped it inside a glass cover, there was no way for it to escape.

‘Have you finished your search?’

Wei Xun was sorting out a wad of brown rope. It looked like an ordinary climbing rope, but it was actually a “Super Sticky Spider Web Climbing Rope” bought by Wei Xun from the Travel Services for 3,000 points.

Right now, he was squatting on the cliff’s edge and looking at the rock wall. The cave wall that had been eaten by the insects for thousands of years was as smooth as if it had been polished, and there were no protrusions or stone crevices to use as a foothold. Even a snow leopard would not be able to find a foothold on such a smooth vertical rock face.

Fortunately, Wei Xun had prepared a bunch of strange props before departing for this tour.

[Name: Super Sticky Spider Web Climbing Rope (30 meters)]

[Quality: Special]

[Function: With its super long elasticity and stickiness, your esteemed self will no longer be afraid of the climbing rope breaking or falling off when climbing the mountain.]

[Note: Although you can’t turn into Spider-Man, it’s still possible for you to climb the Burj Khalifa like Brother Tom!]

In Mission Impossible Four, Brother Tom used a pair of gecko gloves to climb the Burj Khalifa with his bare hands. In reality, Wei Xun had also bought a pair of gecko gloves from Stanford through a special channel that was said to be the most advanced gecko gloves at present, but after trying them a few times, he’d lost interest and tossed them aside.

In reality, with his body, he would never be able to truly fly over the eaves and walls, and even if Wei Xun had the physique of a special forces soldier, those gecko gloves would not make the experience as casual and unrestrained as it appeared in a movie.

Holding the climbing rope, he leaned on a trekking pole. Fully armed, he trekked down bit by bit. How could one run and jump in the snowy mountains like a snow leopard anyway?

If one had to wear gecko gloves and climb down the rock wall like a gecko, how could there be any joy in facing the abyss? It was better to jump down directly!
