Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Alright, I've said all the nonsense I shouldn't have said. You can obediently accept your fate." The brain-eating insect suddenly laughed sinisterly. A red light flashed in its eyes, and an invisible force field suddenly spread out from its body. Wherever it passed, the mud in the river bed suddenly sank by a large amount, as if it was being crushed by something heavy.

Lin Yi felt his body sink as well-it wasn't to the point where he couldn't handle it, but the force field was affecting his movement speed and agility.

However, the brain-eating insect's target wasn't Lin Yi this time, but Duanmu Yu, who was using the fallen leaves to hide himself!

Just as expected, Duanmu Yu, who had not revealed a single flaw before this, immediately revealed himself. Although he did not directly reveal himself, two suddenly sinking footprints suddenly appeared in the mud. They just happened to be next to the spiritual grass. There was no doubt that it was Duanmu Yu.

"Ugh ..." Lin Yi was speechless. This woman was really bold. She knew how terrifying the brain-eating insect was, but she didn't run. She even dared to take the spirit grass.

At this moment, Duanmu Yu was just about to use his blade to cut the spiritual awareness grass. After being caught off guard and revealing a flaw, he did not panic and still maintained the concealed state of falling leaves in autumn.

The brain-eating insect suddenly opened its bloody mouth in the direction of the footprint. An unparalleled powerful suction force poured out. The result was unexpected. Other than a mouthful of mud, Duanmu Yu's figure was nowhere to be seen!

"Interesting indeed!" The brain-eating insect laughed instead of getting angry. If it wasn't for Lin Yi, who was a better choice, it would've taken Duanmu Yu as its main body. Duanmu Yu wasn't flustered in the face of its sudden force field, and he even escaped without leaving a single footprint. One had to know that this was a muddy ground that could sink into the mud if one wasn't careful. The difficulty was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Duanmu Yu was still unable to escape from its grasp. The brain-eating insect's eyes glowed red once again. The invisible force field suddenly became several times stronger. Double pressure!

Duanmu Yu was no longer able to maintain his concealed state and immediately revealed himself in a somewhat sorry state. Without waiting for her to respond, the brain-eating insect had shockingly descended on the top of her head. Its poisonous tail stingers pierced down with lightning speed, leaving Duanmu Yu no time to react.

In the nick of time, Lin Yi appeared in front of Duanmu Yu and pushed him away, but he couldn't Dodge in time. The brain-eating insect's tail pierced through his neck from the back. The scene was shocking.

"Lin Yi!" Duanmu Yu's eyes were red with anxiety. Although her relationship with Lin Yi was far from being one of their own, they were at least friends that could be trusted. Especially since she was someone who valued friendship, how could she not be anxious when she saw Lin Yi die for her?

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so infatuated. But this is good, it saves me a lot of trouble!" The brain-eating insect was overjoyed. What it was most afraid of was Lin Yi running away again. Who knew how much effort he would have to put in if he did that again and again? it didn't have that much patience. It only attacked Duanmu Yu to keep Lin Yi busy. It didn't expect Lin Yi to walk right into its trap. This was a pleasant surprise.

Its tail Stinger followed the innate skill of the fierce poisonous Queen Bee, which was a rare poison in the world, especially when it pierced through a fatal spot like the neck. Let alone a mere human, even with its vitality, it would not be able to survive such a fierce attack.

However, Lin Yi's lowered head showed a strange smile. He flashed and jumped on the brain-eating insect's face. He stuffed his hand into the insect's mouth, leaving a compressed Qi pellet bomb.

BOOM! The brain-eating insect's face was still filled with shock. It didn't even understand how the other party had managed to break free from its poisonous tail Stinger before the true Qi pill fire bomb exploded in its mouth!

Even though the two true Qi pill fire bombs didn't hurt its hair last time, it only couldn't break its surface defense. No matter how strong it was, it couldn't be indestructible inside its body, right?

The brain-eating insect was instantly stunned by the explosion. It immediately spat out black smoke and flew backward. It shook for a long time and couldn't stand still. Although it was unrealistic to kill it instantly, it was bound to be injured.

"You ... You're fine?" Duanmu Yu was dumbfounded as he looked at the perfectly fine Lin Yi. The tail had pierced through his neck, so why was this guy completely fine?

"I'm a primordial spirit. What's the use of its physical attack on me?" Lin Yi grinned. His neck had already been turned into a spirit in that instant, and the tail didn't even touch a hair on his head. It was just an act to numb his opponent.

"Uh, that's true." Duanmu Yu couldn't help but choke. Lin Yi's yuan spirit was no different from a normal person 's, and even if they knew that he was a Yuan spirit, they would subconsciously ignore it. It was even easier for people like the brain-eating insect to fall for it.

While the two were talking, the brain-eating insect opposite them had already recovered. Its entire mouth was charred black, which looked quite funny and embarrassing, but the pressure it gave the two did not weaken at all, but instead became stronger.

Lin Yi sighed to himself. A brain-eating insect was a brain-eating insect after all. The red scaled snake would have died on the spot from that last attack, but this one only looked a little embarrassed. It didn't look like it had suffered any serious injuries. This was so troublesome!

"Hu ... Hu ... Hu ..." The brain-eating bug didn't get angry, but let out three puffs of black smoke before looking at Lin Yi with bright eyes,""You can even ignore such a fatal attack. I didn't misjudge you. Hehe, who else but you can be my main body?"

"So you're really trying to extort me?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was thinking that after this, the other would be angry and give him an opportunity to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect this reaction.

"Of course!" The brain-eating insect laughed and flew down from the sky again, aiming at Lin Yi.

"Be careful and hide it well." Lin Yi gave Duanmu Yu some instructions and charged at him. Duanmu Yu didn't dare to be slow and quickly used silent leaves to Dodge to the side. At the same time, he held a green leaf tightly in his hand, ready to use falling leaves in autumn again. She couldn't interfere in a battle of this level, and it was already good enough that she could stay alive and not drag Lin Yi down.

"You have guts!" The brain-eating bug didn't even look at Duanmu Yu anymore after seeing Lin Yi coming at him. In its eyes, Duanmu Yu's only value was to keep Lin Yi in check. Since Lin Yi wasn't even going to run, why should it care?
