Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It's your honor. To be my food, you have to be at least someone like the primordial King goumang. I wouldn't like eating ordinary people even if they were sent to my mouth." The brain-eating insect said bluntly. This was the truth. Eating brains was its natural instinct, but it was not just eating. The key was that after eating the brain, it could copy the other party's abilities. If it was an ordinary person, it would not benefit even if it ate it. It would be a waste of energy.

"Oh, then I should thank you for your kind words?" Lin Yi said with a half-smile.

"You're welcome," The brain-eating insect was honest and said after a moment,""You've waited long enough, I'm going to make my move. "

Without waiting for Lin Yi's reaction, the brain-eating insect's body suddenly grew a huge chunk. Its wings were still on its back, and its body turned into a giant snake. At first glance, it looked like a red-scaled snake.

Not only that, but four extremely sharp claws had also grown out of its snake body. It was unknown what kind of powerful spirit beast it was, but just a glance was enough to make people tremble in fear.

"What a monster!" Lin Yi sighed. If this guy's image continued to develop, he'd probably become a fake Dragon.

Lin Yi's movements weren't slow at all-he'd made use of that brief moment to create a new bomb. Even if he knew he couldn't kill his opponent, this was the only thing he could do. After all, it was his most powerful attack.

"Again? You really don't want to give up!" This time, the brain-eating insect didn't use the ancient goumang race's escape technique to retreat. Instead, it directly attacked with its claws, which exploded on the spot. It was extremely overbearing.

"So fierce?" Lin Yi's eyes twitched. He knew that this guy wasn't simple, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. Even if the power of this bomb wasn't at its limit, it still shouldn't be underestimated.

After the bomb exploded, the brain-eating insect had more black burn marks on its body. The injuries were a little more serious than before, but it wasn't serious. Instead, it triggered its ferocity even more. It roared and rushed over to swallow Lin Yi alive.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi didn't give him the chance. The moment the bomb was detonated, he had already used the aftershock to escape. Of course, the direction he chose was the opposite of Leng Leng and the others. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to delay for so long.

"He escaped pretty quickly, but unfortunately, he encountered me!" The brain-eating insect looked at Lin Yi, who had become a small black dot in the distance, and smiled. It flapped its wings and chased after him.

The brain-eating insect was very fast, but it was much slower than Lin Yi. Even if Lin Yi was running on the ground and it was flying in the sky, it could only hang on to it. It wasn't easy to close the distance.

"This fellow's speed isn't slow." Lin Yi turned around and looked at the brain-eating insect in the sky. Although he said that, his expression was relaxed. He had absolute confidence in his speed. If he wanted to, he could get rid of the insect in a minute. He was only using super butterfly microstep right now, and he still had more to use.

To Lin Yi, it wasn't a good thing to get rid of them too early, because it could very likely shift the danger to Leng Leng and the others. He had enough confidence to escape anyway, so keeping the brain-eating insect hanging like this was the best choice.

But it wasn't without risk. With the strength the brain-eating insect just showed, Lin Yi wouldn't want to fight it at close range. If he didn't handle it well, he'd be either dead or injured. If he attracted some powerful spirit beast while running, the consequences would be hard to say.

While Lin Yi was planning, the brain-eating bug was planning as well. It wasn't stupid, and it already knew what Lin Yi was trying to do. It knew that Lin Yi still had some energy left and could lose it at any time, but it still had absolute confidence.

As far as it knew, every human practitioner had a limited amount of pure energy. Lin Yi running for his life like this would consume a lot of his pure energy, and when he ran out, he'd be like an arrow at the end of its flight.

It also had a secret weapon, so it wasn't afraid that Lin Yi would really escape from its grasp. It didn't matter how far Lin Yi ran, as it could always grasp his position.

The man and the Beast continued like this for the whole night. Seeing that the sky was already bright, the brain-eating insect finally felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but Mutter,""What's up with this human? Where did he get so much Qi?"

It would never have thought that Lin Yi had a cheating device like the Jade space on him. If it was a pure battle of energy consumption, it would naturally be invincible. Just like now, Lin Yi was still alive and kicking, but the brain-eating insect itself was a bit overwhelmed. No matter how strong it was, it couldn't withstand an entire night of hot pursuit.

At this moment, Lin Yi's speed suddenly increased a lot, and in the blink of an eye, he was out of the brain eating insect's perception range.

"Hehe, he's finally starting to run for his life. It seems like this human's true Qi is almost depleted." Not only was the brain-eating insect not surprised, but it also smiled proudly.""No matter how fast you run, don't even think about escaping from me!"

Trace, this was the innate ability of the thousand-eyed wolf spider, and now it had become one of the abilities of the brain-eating insect. As long as it left a trace on the other party, then no matter where the other party fled, it would not be able to track them down.

This spider silk was extremely thin. Not only was it invisible to the naked eye, but it was also hard to detect with spiritual sense. The brain-eating insect was so cooperative when Lin Yi deliberately delayed his speech so that it could leave the spider silk on Lin Yi.

As the brain-eating insect said, it was very picky about its food, and once it set its eyes on you, you would die without a doubt because it would use all kinds of means, but it was impossible to guard against it. To be precise, it was impossible to guard against it.

It was true that Lin Yi didn't notice the spider silk on his body. After all, it was too thin and light. Even with his divine sense, he couldn't detect it. Unless he was prepared for it and did a comprehensive inspection, even a God would fall for it.

With such a high-level tracking method, the brain-eating insect was naturally sitting on the fishing platform. No matter how fast Lin Yi ran, it was useless in front of its traces.

What the brain-eating insect needed to do now was very simple-it just needed to keep its speed and follow Lin Yi from a distance. As long as Lin Yi didn't fall into the hands of other powerful spirit beasts, it would be fine. Of course, with its status and strength, even if that happened, it wouldn't be a big problem. It could completely intercept Lin Yi halfway, and at worst, it could eat the spirit beast as well. (To be continued.)
