Chapter 2068: Chapter 2065: Eat It
"Is it like what my sister said, sword flight?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.
Lin Tian chuckled, "Heh, maybe it’s flying with wings."
"Then I’ll grow wings too, and fly with you, it must be fun," Xiao Manxuan mused, thinking Lin Tian was joking.
"Does this count as side-by-side flight?" Lin Tian joked as well.
The little girl gave him a charming sideways glance, playfully retorting, "Who would fly side-by-side with you, you scoundrel."
Being called a "scoundrel," Lin Tian felt utterly gratified, and seeing the shy and charming look of the little girl in his arms, he nearly couldn’t resist kissing her.
Unfortunately, they were already falling into the insect sea. Zhang Lingyu had long been ready, and with a spell, flower vines rose. Lin Tian stepped on the flower vines and jumped again, seemingly about to leap out of the insect sea successfully.
Suddenly, the insects converged and protruded, like growing tentacles, reaching towards Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan. Several "tentacles" simultaneously attacked, determined to drag Lin Tian into the abyss.
"Asura Thirteen Sword!" Shangguan Ao Yue acted without hesitation, wielding the giant sword and emitting a dozen red lights, aimed individually at the insect tentacles.
Zhang Lingyu also threw out the Demon-suppressing Whip, a streak of purple lightning shot out into the insect sea, with the purple lightning ring instantly spreading, cutting down the insect tentacles from their roots.
Mu Yun suddenly had a black iron chain in hand, surrounded by black aura. She swung it forcefully, encircling Lin Tian and pulling him back.
The three beauties acted almost simultaneously, and under the bombardment of the great sword and lightning, a part of the insect sea exploded, and the insect tentacles disintegrated. Mu Yun, pulling Lin Tian and his companion, finally landed in a safe area.
As soon as they landed, Lin Tian sincerely said, "Thank you, beautiful ladies, for the rescue."
"Even if we hadn’t acted, you would have had a way to handle it, right?" Shangguan Ao Yue questioned suspiciously. Lin Tian just raised an eyebrow lightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Lin Tian, your arm..." Xiao Manxuan suddenly grabbed his hand, looking worried, completely different from before.
The other three women looked over, only to see a point of blue light wriggling on his arm, just beneath the skin.
"What kind of nasty bug? It truly infiltrates everywhere." Lin Tian frowned forcefully, and there, indeed, was a blue insect within his arm, already burrowed into the flesh.
The insect that could wound the Giant Pig really was formidable; not even a zombie body could fend it off.
"Quickly handle it, or if it goes deeper, it’ll eat away your innards," Shangguan Ao Yue hurriedly said.
Lin Tian wasn’t in a hurry, looking at the insect sea not far away, calmly saying, "It seems the insects won’t cross this mountain, possibly due to some restriction."
"You’re still concerned about restrictions? Just burn the bug with fire," Xiao Manxuan was defeated by Lin Tian’s calm attitude, growing increasingly anxious.
"Burning it is too easy, I want to extract it for future use." Lin Tian dismissed it casually, leaving the beauties speechless.
Shangguan shook her head, pulled out a dagger from behind her, and handed it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian, however, did not take it: "Your dagger might not work, I’ll use mine."
Ordinary weapons couldn’t break the defense of a zombie body. Lin Tian removed his wristband, transforming it into a purple dagger before decisively stabbing it into his arm, forcefully pulling it, creating a deep and long wound.
This decisive and brisk self-surgery was shocking to the beauties, especially since Lin Tian didn’t flinch.
After cutting open his arm, Lin Tian put away the dagger, coolly unwrapping a gold thread, turning to Shangguan Ao Yue, "Lady Ao Yue, help me open the wound, find the bug."
To save Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu from fainting at the sight, he didn’t call on them, seeing that the wound was rather gruesome.
Shangguan Ao Yue gave Lin Tian a deep look, silently moving forward, gently opening the wound with her hands. This gentle action was completely different from her bold and daring battling style.
As the wound opened, the blue insect emerged, clawing viciously, constantly devouring Lin Tian’s blood and flesh. Lin Tian, hand descending with the needle, accurately pierced the insect with the gold thread, quickly lifting it up.
The insect was impaled by the gold thread, wriggling incessantly, soon losing movement. Lin Tian observed carefully, realizing that despite its small size, the insect was incredibly fierce in appearance.
With a body the size of a soybean, it had numerous tiny legs like centipedes or millipedes, no head, and a round mouth directly on its body, with two rows of sharp teeth. The teeth were fine and sharp, looking like an alien creature.
"It looks so fierce," Lin Tian shook his head, never having seen such a bizarre insect, even stranger than those Gu Worms.
Xiao Manxuan quietly walked over, took out a bandage from her supplies, and with her head lowered, silently bandaged Lin Tian’s wound. Several tears fell, landing on the arm, and Lin Tian seemed to feel their warmth.
After finishing the bandage, Xiao Manxuan turned away, not wanting Lin Tian to see the tears in her eyes.
"I’m fine, just the same as when I was hit by Tang Xuan Su’s Sword Qi; I’m still bouncing around," Lin Tian comforted, shaking his arm to show he was unharmed.
Xiao Manxuan turned around, looked at Lin Tian, and with eyes still misty but without tears, said very earnestly, "I know you’ll be fine, but such a big wound must hurt, and my heart can’t help but ache."
In one simple sentence, she conveyed more than a thousand words of affection, and Lin Tian’s hard heart softened, walking over to pat her hair, explaining, "I did this for Little Zi, oh right, call out Little Zi."
"Little Zi? What for?" Xiao Manxuan was momentarily stunned but obediently called Little Zi out.
Little Zi, as usual, fluttered around in circles to please Lin Tian before returning to her owner. Lin Tian waved and said to Little Zi, "Come, eat it."
"Eat it?" The four beauties were taken aback, especially Xiao Manxuan, questioning with great doubt, "Will...will Little Zi not have indigestion, or get poisoned?"
"Whether it survives or not depends on its fate," Lin Tian said calmly, appearing indifferent, yet he was quite certain. Little Zi had been fed with his zombie blood and Xiao Manxuan’s blood, so it wouldn’t die easily.
Not to mention his zombie blood, even Xiao Manxuan’s blood was extraordinary, harboring unusual energy, a magical red flame that could even injure Xu Feibai, so Little Zi had boundless potential.
Eating the blue insect was a chance to stimulate its potential and to advance again. Of course, there were risks involved, but advancement is never easy; if this hurdle couldn’t be overcome, that drop of zombie blood would be wasted.
Hearing there’s food, Little Zi excitedly flew in circles again, but didn’t immediately bite, obviously waiting for her owner’s command.
Xiao Manxuan hesitated a bit, then issued the order, "Little Zi, eat it."
She wasn’t placing her trust in Little Zi, but in Lin Tian.
