Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 316 Fallen Dream 4
Wei Xi pinched his arm, and the pain that followed made him sure that he was not dizzy.

The insect-headed man had very good teeth. As the bronze lamp shattered into pieces, Wei Xi secretly worried about his own skull, but was also glad that he did not throw Lingyin away.

Lingyin, unaware that she had escaped a disaster, was still sleeping soundly.

The [Qiansi] that was supporting the coffin lid seemed to sense something and lowered its body consciously, and the gap shrank, allowing Wei Xi to barely see the situation outside.

Reason told Wei Xi that she should be sober.

But what we see is so shocking that information overload is easy.

Fortunately, Wei Xi reacted quickly and made a quick judgment: either she was trapped in the illusion of Jiuai Mountain, or there really were insect-headed people in this world.

No matter what the situation was, Xiao Wei couldn't laugh.

Before Wei Xi could react, the coffin suddenly felt like it was floating in the air, with a slight bump.

Caught off guard, Wei Xi had no choice but to hold down the coffin lids on both sides. The burial objects collided with each other, making sometimes dull and sometimes crisp sounds, which was disturbing.

Wei Xi, who did not give up peeping, soon figured out what was going on: the coffin containing her was lifted up by the insect-headed man, and the bulging muscles on his arms were very convincing.

Unable to use spiritual power, even if the cultivator has a strong physique, Wei Xi does not dare to confront the opponent head-on; in addition, he is not clear about the opponent's background, and Jiuai Mountain is full of strange things. If he acts rashly, he will probably suffer a great loss.

Suppressing the urge to break out of the coffin, Wei Xi calmed down and continued to observe the scene outside the coffin, trying to find a way to escape.

There was more than one insect-headed person carrying the coffin. Their movements were not very agile, and every move revealed a sense of stiffness, which was in stark contrast to their previous agility in devouring.

"No!" Wei Xi's frown relaxed. "It's because their heads and bodies are out of sync! The insect heads are agile, but the humanoid bodies are stiff!"

"...Could it be," a taboo thought surfaced in Wei Xi's mind, "that the insects are the real body? They stole the human body!"

Thinking of this, Wei Xi felt a chill all over her body: if she acted on impulse, not only would her life be in danger, but her body would also be trampled upon by the strange creatures in the mountains.

"The people of Nanjiang are known for their Gu skills, and their reputation is well-deserved! So many strange things have been unearthed from the depths of the mountains, making it hard to guard against them!"

After spending two years in jail, Wei Xi's ability to endure has been further improved, and he has made up his mind not to confront these weird things head-on.

"Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part! We need to find this damn thing's weakness before we can escape!"

However, things did not go as planned. Before Wei Xi could figure out what was going on, the insect-headed people's team suddenly stopped, and then there was a "bang" and the coffin fell to the ground.

The force of this blow was so strong and heavy that Wei Xi felt dizzy.

The coffin fell to the ground, and Wei Xi could no longer wait.

Wei Xi kicked open the coffin lid, dagger in left hand, fire stick in right, and lunged at the bewildered insect-headed man. Her attacks were always tricky, and the junction of the insect-headed man's head and neck was a good place to aim, so she used all her strength.

The dagger broke directly, but the modified fire starter warmed the opponent with flames, causing the insect-headed man to roar continuously.

After failing to kill the enemy with her strike, Wei Xi dropped the now useless dagger, loosened her grip, and tumbled to the ground. Now Wei Xi could see clearly that what she had just escaped from was indeed a coffin. The coffin was pitch black, its engraved patterns dim in the sparse light.

Wei Xi was unwilling to accept such a grand coffin.

According to her opinion, the four insect-headed people carrying the coffin were good. Although the coffin was a little cramped in comparison, Wei Xi was a kind-hearted person and would stuff them in even if he had to chop them into pieces.

The reality is that Wei Xi rushed out of the encirclement of the remaining insect-headed people in a panic: She didn't want to be buried alive. Didn't she see the deep grave next to her?

Wei Xi rolled and crawled into the nearby woods. After circling twice, he still couldn't get rid of the other party. So he made up his mind and climbed up a big tree that was so big that three people had to hug it.

This was like handing over the initiative to someone else. Unfortunately, these insect-headed people lost all their clumsy, immobile appearance in the forest, each one agile and nimble like a real insect. Once Wei Xi's strength was exhausted, she would be captured and buried alive by the insects.

In order to prevent the insect-headed people from eating the tree, Wei Xi specially picked a thick tree, which could delay some time.

Wei Xi squatted in the dense tree canopy, holding his breath and hiding his body, hoping to deceive the three insect-headed men.

A bug-headed man with eye patterns on his face appeared in Wei Xi's field of vision. Its pattern was very colorful. If others looked at it for too long, it would be like falling into a colorful vortex, making them dizzy and nauseous.

Following closely behind were two insects with large antennae. Wei Xi could vaguely recognize some traces of longhorn beetles from their distorted facial structures.

The smaller one shook its tentacles twice, and the remaining two rushed towards the tree where Wei XZ was like hungry tigers.

In this situation, Wei Xi understood for the first time what it meant to be in a dilemma.

The next moment, Wei Xi understood what it meant to be caught off guard.

The strongest one twisted its two tentacles together, lowered its back, and slammed into the tree trunk with all its strength.

As Wei Xi watched in horror, the tree was broken. She had no time to react and fell to the ground.

Thanks to the Qingcheng Sect for feeding him, if it were the malnourished Wei Xi before, he would have been crushed to death.

Even at this point, Wei Xi still refused to accept her fate and struggled to escape from here. Unfortunately, she was out of luck and was dragged by three insect-headed men, leaving traces of her struggling all along the way.

Wei Xi felt an unprecedented rage! This rage was even more intense than when he was wrongfully imprisoned, because at that time it was still supported by hatred; at this moment, all that was left was the fear of being slaughtered by others.

The fire burned even more fiercely. Wei Xi punched and kicked the insect-headed men, who had become sluggish again. His mouth was also busy, either cursing or biting them fiercely. The plants along the way became victims of his rage, and their yellow-green juices clung to Wei Xi's robes, like a silent accusation...

Next to the coffin, the insect-headed man who was attacked by Wei Xi covered his neck and looked half dead. He had no interest in Wei Xi who was dragged back by his companions.

Wei Xi was thrown into the coffin. As the light narrowed and disappeared, the coffin closed tightly again. As Wei Xi cursed desperately in the fierce Xizhou dialect (with simultaneous interpretation provided by Lingyin), the coffin nails were hammered into the coffin one by one.

Then came the sound of the coffin being buried. Wei Xi, who had never seen the sun, could only hear the sound of the soft soil hitting the coffin. Spadeful of soil buried Wei Xi's hope, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

　First of all, Wei Xi is not dead, he will be out in the next chapter.
