My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

Upon contact with air, it began to expand, and then, as if it had grown eyes, it rushed towards the worm.

Undeterred, the serpent rose up, stood upright, and charged directly at the bright flames.

Perhaps it is because it ate moths that it has a certain obsession with fire.

"It's no use, little wizard. Your tricks aren't enough to deal with the Devouring Beast."

Okamoto Mei raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a cruel smile.

Although she wanted to capture Lin Mo alive, she didn't mind if the giant snake bit off Lin Mo's limbs.

The blue flames enveloped the giant worm, but instead of burning its skin, they were swallowed whole.

The fire spell has failed!

Large worms are indeed more difficult to deal with than other worms.

Seeing this, Lin Mo switched to the Ice Curse without hesitation.

He chanted incantations in the language of the shamanic tribe.

"...Spirit of Nature, grant me the power of ice..."

A chill inexplicably gathered, and this time the chill was even stronger. Visible to the naked eye, white frost enveloped the large worm.

Just as it was busy devouring fire, the frost completely froze it.

From the tail all the way to the head, it froze, including the blue flame that hadn't been completely swallowed.

Since the fire and ice summoned by witchcraft are not pure things in nature but belong to the realm of magic, fire and ice will not melt each other.

The snake was frozen into an ice sculpture, which had a certain artistic quality... though it wasn't beautiful at all.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had dealt with the long worms, he could go all out and beat up the group of insect masters.

Okamoto Mei is the first person I want to beat up.

Wait, you don't hit women?

Normally, Lin Mo would not hit women, especially not women as cute as his sister. He couldn't beat a female vampire like Ye Zimo.

But he absolutely had to hit this woman in front of him; otherwise, he would be letting Li Mao down!

Since Li Mao considered him a friend, he naturally wanted to stand up for his friend.

Moreover, this wicked woman even wants to turn me into an insect terracotta warrior! This is intolerable!

He felt that letting Okamoto Mei experience the power of his iron fist would prevent her from thinking that the men in the country were weak and easily bullied, and that they could be manipulated at will.

Lin Mo flashed and appeared in front of Okamoto Mei.

He grabbed Okamoto Mei by the neck.

She learned the "choking technique" from her daughter, Li Qing, and used it to pin Okamoto Mei against the wall.

Snapped!

Lin Mo slapped Okamoto Mei across the face, and Okamoto Mei's left cheek was distorted.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, glared fiercely at Lin Mo, and said in Japanese.

"Go get him! Grab him! He won't dare kill me."

Lin Mo didn't know what she was talking about, but the fact that she could still speak proved that he had gone too far.

He punched Okamoto Mei in the stomach. "This punch was delivered on behalf of Li Mao."

A clicking sound rang out.

It wasn't Okamoto Mei's bones that broke, but rather the giant snake on her back that shook open the frost.

As the bald-headed bug master's trump card, it's not so easy for it to die.

At this moment, a group of young insect masters rushed towards Lin Mo, but one of them was bitten directly by the giant worm.

Go, go, go.

The giant worm had poor eyesight and mistook the young insect master closest to Lin Mo for Lin Mo, biting off the other's head.

A headless corpse lay on the ground, blood splattering all over Lin Mo's face.

"idiot!"

The bald-headed insect master cursed and ordered everyone to retreat, giving the giant worm room to maneuver.

When large snakes fight, they obviously don't distinguish between friend and foe.

Lin Mo released his grip, and Okamoto Mei curled up and lay on the ground.

That punch just now severely injured her abdomen.

"I didn't want to fight hand-to-hand in the first place, but you beast, you actually killed someone right under my nose! You have no respect for humanity!"

Lin Mo was furious, even though it wasn't the first time he had seen such a bloody scene.

But he absolutely could not tolerate it; he himself had never intended to kill anyone.

"Master, are you alright?"

A Mushishi came over and helped Okamoto Mei up.

Okamoto Mei coughed up blood again, her bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at Lin Mo. If looks could kill, she would have already torn Lin Mo to pieces.

Lin Mo appeared behind the giant serpent in an instant at a speed they could not match, grabbed its body with his bare hands, lifted it high, and soared into the sky.

He smashed through the ceiling, and the chandelier shattered into pieces all over the floor.

Lin Mo slammed the giant serpent into the ground only after it reached the top of the barrier.

Boom—

A loud bang.

The giant worm smashed a crater more than 5 meters deep into the ground, and the surrounding earth cracked as if it were a magnitude 3 earthquake.

Lin Mo swooped down from the sky and stepped directly on the belly of the giant serpent.

His legs, amplified by speed, became like sharp knives, stomping right through the giant serpent's body.

It split in two, the two long worms twisting together.

Dark green blood gushed out from the broken wound like a waterfall.

Lin Mo jumped in time to avoid the insect fluid that emitted a strong, putrid smell.

The bald-headed insect master could no longer feign composure.

"How can it be repaired?"

His trump card, the Devouring Beast, which had never been defeated, actually suffered a Waterloo today!

Chapter 97 Just in Time

Although the giant snake was broken in two, its blood splattered all over the ground.

But he still didn't die.

The bald-headed insect master shouted, "Retreat!"

Lin Mo understood what he meant and told the insect masters to retreat.

Did they realize they can't beat me?

Lin Mo noticed their gazes; their attention was clearly focused on the thick, green liquid.

When the liquid came into contact with the ground, signs of corrosion began to appear.

This worm is poisonous.

"No, we can't open the barrier. If we do, the wizard will escape."

Okamoto Mei said through gritted teeth.

The bald wizard stared at her, then excitedly spoke in Japanese.

"You unfilial son, do you want everyone to be buried with you?"

Although Lin Mo didn't understand, it was clear that he was cursing Okamoto Mei.

"Well said! Open the barrier, and I can take Li Mao away immediately."

Huh? Where's Li Mao?

Lin Mo then realized that he had been so engrossed in the fight that Li Mao had been kidnapped by the Mushishi clan.

But he wasn't flustered at all.

He could cast displacement spells accurately even without consulting a spellbook by reciting the incantation.

Furthermore, Lin Mo also showed off a bit this time.

He swapped the coffee cup on the table with Li Mao, and then swapped the long, still-living snake with the coffee cup.

In the eyes of the Mushishi, Li Mao had turned into a giant worm.

When the giant worm came into contact with a human, its remaining half became restless, biting off another person's arm and splattering its bodily fluids everywhere.

Those Mushishi who were tainted by bodily fluids began to decay.

"Ahhh-"

Screams erupted all around.

Okamoto Mei avoided the corrupted Mushishi, while the other Mushishi acted decisively, quickly killing their companions.

"withdraw!"

"Gai-headed Insect Master gave the order," and then turned and left.

Although Okamoto Mei was unwilling, she had no choice but to listen to the bald-headed Mushishi, and the situation had already spiraled out of control.

At this point, their only option is to retreat, recreate the barrier, and completely destroy the giant worm.

As the Mushishi opened the barrier, Lin Mo, carrying Li Mao, flew out like a ghost.

The Mushishi themselves left behind a mess, so of course they had to clean it up themselves.
