Tong Xiaosong was startled and quickly looked towards the main seat.
There, slumped on the main seat, was a huge worm, occupying most of the space inside the cavity. The worm was almost transparent, and one could clearly see countless colorful larvae moving inside.
Tong Xiaosong wanted to cover his mouth too, but he didn’t dare. He feared that the creature would sense their movements.
The creature’s sharp mouthparts opened and closed, sending shivers down his spine. Cold sweat instantly poured down his face. With the illusion shattered, they could no longer understand what the creature was saying.
He tightly grasped Zhi Xian’s hand, ready to drag him away at any moment.
Zhi Xian relaxed his demeanor, the illusion shattered. Finally, he felt some reassurance.
He laughed and said, “My friend here is a bit overwhelmed by the wine and the presence of so many beauties.”
With a dazed expression, He Bing wiped away the corpse water from his mouth, his Adam’s apple rolling violently. He tightly pressed his lips together, forcing himself not to vomit.
As the mouthparts of the worm continued to move, a slimy creature approached He Bing, its body oozing with mucus. Its mouthparts frantically probed around, as if sniffing for food.
He Bing desperately sought help from Zhi Xian with his eyes.
Zhi Xian smiled and said, “The host is very kind, even offering you a beauty.”
He Bing took a deep breath, fighting off the urge to faint. He forced a smile and spoke loudly to the worm on the main seat, “Thank you for your kindness, but I adhere to the principles of a gentleman. I appreciate beauty from afar and should not get too close. It would be unfortunate to accept such kindness. Please, allow her to return to dancing.”
The mouthparts on the main seat twitched, and the probing creature on He Bing finally retreated.
Watching as the mouthparts continued to move, He Bing looked to Zhi Xian for help.
Zhi Xian smiled and said, “Since you don’t like beauties, don’t miss out on the delicious food.”
With empty eyes, He Bing looked down at the table full of rotting human bones. He saw familiar tattoos on them, those of his companions who had entered the grave with him.
At that moment, Zhi Xian loudly exclaimed, “Sorry, I’m feeling a bit urgent. Could you please tell me where the restroom is?”
A huge insect crawled over, numerous sharp segments arranged on the ground, leading the way for Zhi Xian.
Tong Xiaosong wanted to follow but was reassured by Zhi Xian with two pats. Zhi Xian whispered, “Give me the fire.”
Feeling the implicit instruction to wait, he suppressed his fear, released Zhi Xian’s hand, and handed over the fire.

He Bing laughed as if crying, “I…I’m already full…”
Tong Xiaosong whispered, “We’d better keep talking. Otherwise, when Zhi Xian isn’t around, we won’t understand what these monsters are saying.”
Gritting his teeth, He Bing pushed the stone cup filled with corpse water closer. “This wine isn’t bad. This place is truly a paradise.”
Tong Xiaosong asked, “Do you want to consider staying here?”
He Bing replied, “…The mortal world suits me better.”
Before they could exchange more words, they heard a shout, “Fire!”
Tong Xiaosong was startled, immediately standing up. It was Zhi Xian’s voice!
They saw Zhi Xian quickly approaching, his coat already missing.
The azure flames burned fiercely behind him.
Instantly, the pile of insects became chaotic, emitting strange and noisy sounds.
Zhi Xian shouted loudly, “Someone come quickly and put out the fire!”
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the cave.
Tong Xiaosong steadied himself, anxiously looking around. He saw countless insects crawling out of cracks in the walls, swiftly moving toward the direction of the azure flames.
Chaos erupted in the cave, even the worm on the main seat turned its head towards the flames.
Zhi Xian came to Tong Xiaosong’s side, grabbing his hand tightly. “Quick, let’s run!”
He Bing hurriedly followed.
The gatekeeper insects were already gone.
Zhi Xian forcefully opened the door, but there was no longer a stone-paved road outside, only a narrow muddy path.
He clenched his fingers together, raising the blue flames and throwing them to both sides.
The blue flames illuminated the way ahead as he dashed madly along the corridor with Tong Xiaosong and He Bing.
He Bing glanced backward, shouting loudly, his speed increasing significantly.
Tong Xiaosong also looked back and saw the insects noticing their escape, swarming towards them.
Apart from those terrifying and tall alien beings, there were also countless insects crawling along the walls, like an overwhelming fog.
Soon, he could hardly see behind him.
Because the flames thrown out by Zhi Xian were gradually extinguishing.
Tong Xiaosong felt a chill throughout his body, deeply shocked. How could this azure flame be extinguished?
He had never seen Zhi Xian’s flames extinguish on their own!
“Zhi Xian! The fire is out!”
Zhi Xian: “This place is filled with extremely Yin corpse water, it won’t burn. He Bing! Are you still a virgin?”
He Bing collapsed: “What?”
Zhi Xian calmly shouted, “If there’s extremely Yang virgin urine, it can stop them!”
“I fucking—Ahhh! They touched me! I-I-I’m a virgin!” He Bing exerted all his strength, even as he saw those countless insects gradually catching up to him. “What do I do?”
Zhi Xian: “Loosen your belt! Urinate!”
He Bing: “…I fucking can’t pee!”
Zhi Xian: “Then prepare to be bitten. This passage is too long, and they’re too fast.”
“I’ll pee!” He Bing collapsed, “Isn’t peeing enough!”
Tong Xiaosong could already hear the sound of someone loosening their belt behind him. He glanced back for a moment, then quickly looked away as if shocked. Even in the midst of fleeing for their lives, he couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter.
That quick glance was enough for him to see He Bing swinging something soft and limp from under his crotch, like an elephant swinging its trunk while running.
He Bing wailed, “I-I can’t pee…”
Zhi Xian turned around and threw a cluster of flames.
For a moment, the area behind lit up, revealing a slimy appendage reaching towards He Bing’s face.
“Ahhhh! Fuck!” He Bing’s momentary burst of speed almost caught up with Zhi Xian. He cried out, “I peed! I peed!”
Zhi Xian swiftly traced a line with his two fingers, summoning a larger cluster of flames in front of him, then hurled it backwards.
As soon as the flames touched the muddy water, it seemed to ignite like gasoline, causing the writhing creatures to surge with fury.
The azure flames instantly turned into raging red fire upon contact with the insects, burning them all to ashes in a sweeping blaze.
A sizzling sound filled the air as Tong Xiaosong glanced back, witnessing the grotesque creatures squirming and contorting in the flames, their limbs flailing chaotically.
This provided them with an opportunity to escape.
Seizing the moment, they fled for their lives.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally glimpsed at hope.
***
As they escaped from the cave, the bright daylight outside revealed a large locust tree, casting a sinister shadow over the area.
Looking back, He Bing exclaimed, “What should we do!? Will they come after us?”
Before he finished speaking, they saw a mouthpiece with sharp teeth protruding from the cave entrance. It seemed to fear the sunlight and, after a brief inspection, slowly retreated back inside.
“Fuck…” muttered He Bing.
“They won’t during the day, but we can’t be sure at night,” said Zhi Xian coldly. He raised his hand and tossed the flames from his fingertips onto the locust tree.
The azure flames surged in the wind, instantly devouring the towering locust tree.
Zhi Xian said, “Find a way to get someone to bring us as much virgin urine as possible. Pour it down the cave entrance; the more, the better. Once it’s burned away, we’ll be safe.”
He Bing quickly pulled out his phone. “Right away!”
Poor He Bing… Trying to wee under stress!!!
I think- *holding back laughs* I think it’s not that hard, just scare him enough to piss himself AHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA-
