Chapter 110

Late at night, Li Li Banfeng and Ma Wu hid inside a mountain cave, quietly watching the cave entrance.

Lady Bagworm was right outside the cave, quietly waiting for the two of them to come out.

Lady Bagworm could have come in, but she didn't want to; she liked playing hide-and-seek with her prey for a while, although in her view, Li Li Banfeng and Ma Wu's methods of playing hide-and-seek were quite childish.

After hiding for a few minutes, Lady Bagworm began releasing insect silk into the cave, and Ma Wu completely broke down.

In truth, he had broken down long ago.

He was not a traveling cultivator and lacked such good stamina; being a joy cultivator, he was naturally physically weak, and after running for a whole day without eating or drinking, Ma Wu could no longer stand.

The key was that running like this would lead nowhere. Ma Wu had read in books that once one encountered Lady Bagworm, if one did not satisfy her demands, there was no possibility of getting away, unless one's cultivation was equal to or above hers.

How high was Lady Bagworm's cultivation?

It had almost reached the eighth layer; she was one of the most formidable anomalies in the New Land.

If one encountered Lady Bagworm while pioneering, it meant the pioneering had failed. The pioneers had to flee in different directions, and whether anyone survived depended entirely on Lady Bagworm's mood.

Dabo Dabo Ensi had successfully survived under Lady Bagworm's hands. Most of the time, Lady Bagworm didn't like killing; she liked playing with people, but after being played with by her, whether one could survive depended on one's fate.

Since he couldn't shake her off, Ma Wu could only follow the escape methods introduced in the books and satisfy Lady Bagworm's demands.

But the problem was, could he withstand Lady Bagworm's demands?

Dabo Dabo Ensi could, but he couldn't.

Dabo Dabo Ensi was a martial cultivator who not only possessed superb cultivation but also a physique unlike ordinary people; these were things Ma Wu could never hope to reach.

Yet even so, Ma Wu decided to give it a try; even if he were to fold here, he had to give Li Li Banfeng a chance to escape.

"Brother Li, you run; I'll fight it out with her!"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu and said, "What are you going to fight her with?"

Ma Wu said, "She just wants to play around, so I'll just play along with her. I'm a joy cultivator; what haven't I experienced?"

Li Li Banfeng pointed at Lady Bagworm: "Have you experienced this kind, too?"

"This kind... no..." Ma Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Li, I owe you a life; consider it repaid. You go quickly!"

After speaking, Ma Wu rushed to the cave entrance and shouted loudly, "If you want to play, then let's play properly!"

Lady Bagworm laughed: "Call the other one out too; you alone aren't enough."

Ma Wu had discovered a large mass of clay in the New Land, but since he hadn't brought an iron canister last night, he hadn't been able to bring it back. He had to set off early this morning to secure this treasure.

"Little doll, where did you get such a big temper?" Lady Bagworm laughed heartily, her antennae waving above her head, about to entangle Ma Wu.

She might play properly with Ma Wu, or she might eat Ma Wu directly.

She might also turn Ma Wu into her child, keeping him in a cocoon to raise slowly.

But Li Li Banfeng had already seen the trend; no matter what she did to Ma Wu, she would never let Li Li Banfeng go.

Li Li Banfeng took out a Rust Pellet and struck it onto Lady Bagworm's body.

The rust spread rapidly over Lady Bagworm's body, and Lady Bagworm perceived intense pain.

She no longer paid attention to Ma Wu and turned her face to look at Li Li Banfeng.

Ma Wu was still in a daze when he heard Li Li Banfeng shout: "Run!"

Ma Wu didn't dare to delay and took off running.

If Lady Bagworm wanted to chase, Ma Wu couldn't escape; even with Li Li Banfeng here to stall, Ma Wu couldn't escape.

But Lady Bagworm didn't want to chase anymore; she was angry.

She no longer paid attention to Ma Wu, her gaze fixed on Li Li Banfeng.

"You are very disobedient; I don't like children like you."

Li Li Banfeng kept staring at the rust on Lady Bagworm's body.

In his view, this patch of rust would definitely cause damage to Lady Bagworm.

At the very least, it would make Lady Bagworm shed a layer of skin.

But Lady Bagworm didn't shed skin; she didn't even shake off the rust on her body.

The juices beneath her skin surged in waves, then generated a vortex, swallowing the patch of rust on her body completely clean.

Ever since Li Li Banfeng obtained the first Rust Pellet on Bitter Mist Mountain, this powerful elixir had been almost invincible; this was the first time the Rust Pellet had exerted almost no effect on an opponent.

Lady Bagworm used two antennae to tease Li Li Banfeng's face and said in a calm tone: "I can have children with you, or I can turn you into my child.

I can turn you into one child, or I can turn you into three children.

I can cut you into a hundred pieces and turn you into a hundred children.

I can also give birth to children on your body, let them grow up eating your flesh and blood, and let you become their home."

Their home.

Li Li Banfeng thought of the bagworm's cocoon.

So that cocoon was also made from a living creature.

The antennae rubbed against Li Li Banfeng's face faster and faster, representing Lady Bagworm's worsening mood.

"I think the last option is most suitable for you, because you are neither gentle nor cute." As the words fell, Lady Bagworm crashed into the cave.

Li Li Banfeng retreated rapidly, opened his Personal Residence, and threw the key out.

In this situation, returning to the Personal Residence to take refuge was his only choice.

As for how to get out, he could only think of another way.

The door slammed shut with a bang, and Li Li Banfeng let out a long breath.

Now this calamity had been escaped, but what should he do next?

It would be fine if Lady Bagworm left, but if she kept blocking the door, how could Li Li Banfeng get out?

It would be even worse if she took the key away.

He had to prepare for long-term refuge.

First, check his belongings.

There was plenty of food at home, canned goods, compressed biscuits, sausages...

Where did the sausage come from?

Why is this sausage moving?

What is this thing?

It's an antenna!

Lady Bagworm's antenna.

She followed him in!

How did she follow him in? Did I not close the door tightly?

Li Li Banfeng swung his Tang Dao, wanting to cut off the antenna.

The antenna flicked lightly, bouncing Li Li Banfeng far away.

By the time Li Li Banfeng struggled to his feet, the door was already open.

Green Water City is right before our eyes; how many people with third-layer cultivation are willing to settle down in this poor, remote place?"

"What kind of place is this? Why is it so strange?" The room was too narrow, and Lady Bagworm couldn't turn her body around for a moment.

Chi chi chi~

The phonograph woke up and sang in a cheerful tone: "Husband, you've returned from buying groceries! You bought, you bought, what on earth is this thing you've bought..."

Lady Bagworm turned her body around, looked around, and said: "This room is not bad; leave it for my children. It can fit many children."

Li Li Banfeng took out his Tang Dao and threw it at Lady Bagworm.

Clang! The Tang Dao left its sheath, slashed three times at the bagworm's head, and immediately returned to Li Li Banfeng's pocket.

The three slashes were finished just like that, and Lady Bagworm hadn't even been scratched.

Not even a mark was left on her head.

No wonder the Tang Dao ran so fast; the gap between the two sides was a bit large.

Li Li Banfeng took out the Blood-Containing Pendulum, intending to slash at Lady Bagworm, but the pendulum shrank back: "Master, no, spare my life!"

The pendulum didn't dare to go up; going up would just be throwing its life away.

What about the teapot?

Is the teapot of any use?

She has nowhere to hide in this small room; let's see if we can scald her to death!

Li Li Banfeng was just about to look for the teapot.

Xiu~

A mass of insect silk lunged at Li Li Banfeng; in the narrow room, Li Li Banfeng didn't have much space to dodge.

Hu!

A mass of steam flew over, burning the insect silk into ashes.

The phonograph shouted: "Sir, please wait in the outer room; today's ingredients are a bit tricky, let the little slave handle it first."

Before Li Li Banfeng could speak, a mass of steam pushed Li Li Banfeng into the outer room, and the door to the outer room immediately closed tightly, sealed completely by the steam.

Lady Bagworm roared at the phonograph: "What kind of thing are you?"

Chi chi~

The phonograph sneered: "You have guts. It is because I have fallen on hard times today that even a worm like you dares to speak to me like this."

Hu!

Scorching steam filled the entire room.

Lady Bagworm opened her giant mouth wide, straightened her body, and swallowed the steam filling the room completely clean.

Zhi la la~

The phonograph emitted a high-pitched chant, and the steam inside Lady Bagworm's body began to expand rapidly.

Lady Bagworm hissed repeatedly, spitting out insect silk, entangling the phonograph's record, blocking the phonograph's horn, not letting the phonograph make a sound.

Two giant pincers bit through the phonograph's casing, embedding themselves into the phonograph's body.

A few minutes later, the sounds of fighting outside the door gradually subsided.

Li Li Banfeng rushed into the main hall and saw Lady Bagworm's body had shrunk significantly, curled up on the ground, motionless.

The phonograph was covered in wounds and had no sound.

The front door panel was shattered, the horn was deformed, and what made Li Li Banfeng's heart ache the most was that two gears had actually fallen out of the phonograph's body.

Li Li Banfeng panicked; he had never been this panicked before.

He stroked the phonograph and called out one by one: "Wife, wife, answer me..."

Woo woo~

There was sound.

Wife had sound.

Although it was very faint, Li Li Banfeng could hear it.

He looked at the phonograph's horn and found it was blocked by insect silk.

The horn was scorching hot, but Li Li Banfeng couldn't care about the pain and struggled to pull out the insect silk.

Zhi zhi~ zhi zhi~

The horn was clear, but the phonograph could only emit strange friction sounds.

Inside the casing, quite a few gears were also jammed by insect silk.

Li Li Banfeng brought tools and cleaned it carefully; after working for more than an hour, the gears slowly began to turn.

Hu chi~ hu chi~

The steam began to puff rhythmically.

"Wife, answer me!" Li Li Banfeng looked at the phonograph anxiously.

"Wei ya~ Husband, what is the matter~ that you are so anxious?" The phonograph responded.

PS: The phonograph is injured, and Yumian Shala feels so heartbroken. Dear readers, if you feel heartbroken, please cast a vote for Yumian Shala and talk to Yumian Shala some more.
