Venerated Venomous Consort

The center of the town was full of government offices. When both Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi arrived, a thick mist surrounded the area, and the noises from the battle were getting more explicit.

“Waihu, do not be afraid, I am here for you. I won’t let them hurt you.” A clear male voice could be heard.

“They are duplicating!” Lan Waihu’s voice was trembling.

“They are probably their companions. Quickly shoot and kill them.” The previous male voiced out.

“No, they will duplicate again!” Yan Chen’s voice was deep but powerful. “The more we attack, the more that will be generated!”

“What should we do now?” Qian Lingyu sounded frustrated. “We can’t just wait to be killed!”

“Let’s try with fire.” Yan Chen was the leader of these people. He sounded calm, and a flame emerged from the place where his voice could be heard. There was a wailing sound from inside the mist.

“Wow, they are terrified of fire! Yan Chen, good job! Hurry up, let us use fire to kill them!” Zhang Chuchu sounded excited for once. “Let’s burn all these damn things!”

“I… I don’t know how to use fire…” Lan Waihu was nervous.

“It’s okay; you stick with me.” The previous male said.

“Alright…”

Gu Xijiu took a deep breath. They were all here!

She pulled Di Fuyi. “Let’ go and save them!” Two of them rushed toward the thick mist.

When they reached the edge of the thick mist, Di Fuyi suddenly pulled Gu Xijiu. “Get back! There is a poisonous wizardry barrier here!”

Gu Xijiu had learned a lot of knowledge about enchantment barriers from Di Fuyi over these years. She knew that this kind of poisonous wizardry barriers could not simply be touched. Inside the barrier, the mist was normal, but the thin mist outside the barrier was poisonous. The poison was even stronger than concentrated nitric acid. Anything could be instantly melted once it was touched.

It was extremely rare to see this kind of enchantment barrier. Gu Xijiu only heard about it, but she did not know how to destroy it.

Fortunately, Di Fuyi knew how to solve it. He took the opportunity to teach her. “You have to use the wood element of spiritual power to overcome this…” He also demonstrated on the spot to show her then he took a step back. “Come on, you come and break it!”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. Rescuing the people was as urgent as putting out the fire. It had been a very critical situation inside so the priority should be to save people. Since he knew how to break the barrier, why did he not break it personally? Why would he want to let the beginner break it?

“No, although they are afraid of fire, the fire can’t kill them!” Qian Lingyu shouted.

“Damn it! We can only push them back a few steps but can’t hurt them at all. If the situation continues, our spiritual power would be exhausted very soon.” Zhang Chuchu cursed.

“We cannot last more than 15 minutes…” The bright male voice sounded panicked. “It seems like we are all going to die here…” This sentence was very discouraging. The people who were trapped looked pale, and despair started to spread in the group.

“No! I will try to take you all out! We should not panic. The more panic we are, the more likely we are going to be attacked by these things.” Yan Chen still sounded calm and it actually calmed the crowd down.

“It… It will be good if Xijiu is here…” Lan Waihu sounded desperate, “She will have the solution if she is here!”

“Don’t babble about her at this time. Waihu, if I didn’t know that Gu Xijiu is a lady, I will be very jealous since you babble about her once every few days…” The bright and cool male voice sounded impatient.
