The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 173 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (10)
Looking at the dozens, to perhaps hundreds of tiny worms, Lian Haocun's facial expression did not change at all. He was as calm as water, and wise as a leader.
In the face of a situation that should create panic, Lian Haocun's calmness is very helpful, because of Lian Haocun's attitude, both Lian Huanran, Yun Shao, Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu, respectively, strangely, I felt no panic. Their minds feel so clear.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the two Guan Hong members, did not look good. Just like Guan Hong's own ugly-looking expression, it was as if his precious item was stolen by someone.
“What should we do? They're getting closer..” Whispering one of the members of Guan Hong's group, undeniably, he felt panicked.
Just as Guan Hong was thinking of a way to escape this situation, suddenly the temperature in the cave, rose drastically! Guan Hong immediately searched for the source, and found Lian Haocun's body shrouded in flames!
Immediately, in a short time, flames spread around them and burned thousands of worms to a scorch! However, it was only thousands, while there were still tens to thousands of small worms wriggling towards Lian Haocun and the others! So to say, they are still not safe.
Looking at Lian Haocun's actions, Lian Huanran actually wanted to help, but he could not let Guan Hong and his group know about the double element he had. Thus, Lian Huanran chose to remain silent, and gave everything to her Brother.
One of the fire-elemented Guan Hong members, following what Lian Haocun was doing, started burning the small worms that were heading towards him, Guan Hong and his friend.
His rather disheveled attacks, almost hit Yun Shao and Long Yuan many times. However the passageway they were in could not be said to be spacious, only as long as roughly four people lined up.
If it wasn't for Lian Haocun preventing her, perhaps Lian Huanran would have immediately vented her anger at the Guan Hong member. Because, who would not be angry at the actions of someone who could clearly endanger your friend?
Meanwhile, Qian Wenwu racked his brain to find a solution, or at least helped Lian Haocun fight those little worms. After a moment's consideration, Qian Wenwu finally let the light element that was within him, surge out!
Instantly, there was a bright light all over Qian Wenwu's body, some of the small worms were fixated on the spot, while almost all of the small worms retreated in fear.
Qian Wenwu's prediction was not wrong, the worm that was actually filled with evil energy, certainly not comfortable with someone who had the light element, which was very opposite to the evil energy. Even if they could, the worms wanted to go all the way from Qian Wenwu.
The fierce hot flames spread rapidly, from one worm to another. How's that worm burning? Naturally, they were scorched without leaving any traces. As if they had never existed before, only traces of corroded rock were left behind.
Due to the small worms that almost all have gone to other realms, Lian Haocun and his group along with Guan Hong and his group, continued their journey.
Of course, their journey could not be said to be smooth, other than the first wave earlier, there was a second, third, fourth to fifth wave of small worm attacks, with the number of small worms growing continuously. Out of only hundreds of thousands, it might now be a million little worms!
Fortunately, with Lian Haocun's fire element and Qian Wenwu's light element, they managed to overcome the waves of attacks from the little worms.
Although, as time went by, Qian Wenwu's sweat poured out even more profusely, he did not ask for a break nor say a thing.
While behind them, there was someone who was expressing a cold expression like ice. During the trip, Guan Hong was irritated and furious at his helplessness.
He felt helpless because he could not help and was useless in the fight. Even he was protected by his group members, who were clearly below him and could not compare to him.
He also felt, his position was taken by the pretentious new disciple, Lian Haocun, but Guan Hong did not reveal anything on his facial expression, he was just waiting for the right time, he said, to avenge what Lian Haocun did.
'Look at it later.., you will know the reply for taking my rightful position!' Inner Guan Hong while looking at Lian Haocun sharply. If the gaze of the eyes could kill, perhaps Lian Haocun had already been killed countless times by the gaze of Guan Hong's eyes.
Lian Haocun and his group, as well as Guan Hong and his group as well, walked over with a somewhat tense atmosphere.
After all, who would know when the next wave of small worm attacks came? And, when the tense atmosphere was almost at its peak, there was a sound ‘krekkk...’ like something cracked. Instantly everyone's alertness increased drastically.
