This time, the Deaf Taoist was seriously injured. Many parts of his body were burnt.
These were not regular burns. Some parts of his body were pierced through, and some of his bones were burnt …
It was rare for the Deaf Taoist to be injured like this. Previously, he was forced into a dead end by Lu Li. Later, he pretended to be Lu Li's spiritual beast and tried to plot against Lu Li. However, the silver dragon mark almost destroyed his soul. In the end, he became Lu Li's spiritual beast.
This had already enraged the Deaf Taoist. He did not expect that he would be injured like this by a mere Blazing Huo.
The Deaf Taoist was a beast from the Region of Doom. If he was injured by an immortal, it would not be a big deal. However, Blazing Huo was just a mortal being, which the Deaf Taoist could not accept.
Lu Li did not care how angry the Deaf Taoist was. The only thing he cared about was Blazing Huo.
Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead at full speed. Blazing Huo had been on the run for six hours. It would take some time to catch up with him, or at least eight to ten hours.
Two hours later, the space in front of Lu Li began to tremble. Following that, a swarm of small bugs flew out.
These worms looked translucent and were only the size of a thumb. The blood vessels on their bodies seemed to be clearly visible, just like ordinary worms. However, these worms had four abnormally sharp fangs!
The Wicked Bead was so fast that the first batch of insects were stuck to the bead.
What happened next shocked Lu Li. The more than a dozen bugs on the bead began to gnaw at the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead was glowing. Lu Li sensed that the energy of the Wicked Bead was decreasing rapidly. It was as if over a dozen Deaf Taoist were attacking the Wicked Bead …
"Ghost Bugs!"
Lu Li came back to his senses at once. He said to the Deaf Taoist, "There are over a dozen Ghost Bugs attacking the Wicked Bead. Do you have any ideas?"
"A dozen?"
The Deaf Taoist was taken aback. If there were only a few, he might have the courage to go out and fight. But if there were more than a dozen, he might lose his life here.
Seeing that the Deaf Taoist was hesitating, Lu Li had to count on himself.
He flew the Wicked Bead backward, trying to get rid of the Ghost Bugs.
However, those bugs were stuck to the bead. He could not get rid of them.
"Boom, boom!"
Lu Li simply smashed the Wicked Bead into the mountain. The impact left a pit on the ground.
However, when he scanned it with his Divine Telekinesis, he found that the Ghost Worm was not harmed at all.
But on second thought, if the Ghost Worms could be killed so easily, the Deaf Taoist would have gone on a killing spree.
Lu Li thought about it for a moment. He was ready to go out and use Relic weapons to attack the Ghost Worms. He believed that Relic weapons could not kill those puny worms.
Squeak, squeak ~
Right at that moment, Little White happened to wake up. When it saw Lu Li, it immediately wagged its short tail and flew over with a big smile. It climbed onto Lu Li's shoulder and rubbed its head against Lu Li's face affectionately.
"Little White, stay inside. I have something to do."
Lu Li patted Little White's head, but it wouldn't let go.
Little White had been in a deep sleep ever since it entered the Wicked Bead. It had absorbed a lot of energy of thunderbolts and had been working on it recently. Little White was reluctant to see Lu Li wake up.
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. After all, he would come back in soon. Lu Li didn't worry too much. He rushed out with Little White.
"Swish, swish ~"
Outside the Wicked Bead, Lu Li aimed at two Ghost Worms and hacked at them with the Relic weapon. He did not use the Slayer's move because he wanted to test the worms' defense.
"Clank, clank ~"
When the Relic weapon landed on the worms, there was a sound of metal clashing. The two Ghost Worms noticed Lu Li at once. They dashed toward Lu Li and made two strange noises.
Lu Li was not afraid since he had the Relic armor on. That being said, he did not want Little White to be hurt. Lu Li controlled the Wicked Bead to teleport back.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Right at that moment, Little White suddenly screamed. Somehow, it unleashed some ferocious energy and kept yelling at the worms.
Lu Li wanted to go back into the Wicked Bead. However, when he used psychic power to check, he noticed that … the Ghost Worms had stopped in midair, afraid to come closer.
"Eh?"
Many years ago, Lu Li remembered that in the Ice Mountains of the Northern Desert, Little White used its ferocious energy to suppress many Xuan Beasts and could control many low-level Xuan Beasts.
Little White saw that again. This time, it was the Ghost Worms that even the Deaf Taoist was afraid of in the Prison of Darkness!
"Impressive!"
Lu Li was sure that the Ghost Worms were afraid to come closer. Even the Ghost Worms that were biting the Wicked Bead had stopped. Lu Li was overjoyed. "Little White, well done!"
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White raised her head proudly, her eyes full of smiles.
Ever since Lu Li got the Dragon Demon, Little White was no longer needed. As Lu Li grew stronger and his opponents were more powerful, Little White became even less useful.
Little White was as intelligent as a human being. Therefore, a few years ago, Little White was disappointed, thinking that Lu Li no longer wanted it.
For Little White, Lu Li was its only family, its only master. Little White did not know what to do when Lu Li abandoned it. Therefore, Little White asked Bai Xiashuang to take Little White to the Island of Tranquility to refine its body.
This time, Little White was happy to come out with Lu Li.
Now that it could help Lu Li and be praised, Little White was overjoyed. Little White crawled up and down on Lu Li's shoulder, holding its head high. It was overjoyed …
Lu Li patted Little White's head and fed it with some Soul Stones. He wanted to take Little White back and forth to go after Blazing Huo.
But the next second, he had an idea. Pointing to Little White, he said, "Little White, can you control those worms?
It would be great if you can. "
Those worms were strong. Not even a Relic could cut them apart. Each worm could be as strong as the Deaf Taoist. When the Deaf Taoist heard that there were over a dozen worms outside, he did not even dare to come out …
If Little White could control these bugs, Lu Li couldn't even imagine how powerful it would be for him.
When he caught up with Blazing Huo, he could ask Little White to throw out a swarm of worms and Blazing Huo would be bitten to death.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White was hesitant. It squeaked at Lu Li, indicating that it would try.
Little White flew away from Lu Li's shoulder. Somehow, Little White was intimidating. It squeaked around the worms and its horns were glowing.
After a moment, Little White flew back, feeling dejected. It shook its head at Lu Li and squeaked a bit with guilt. Then, it kept squeaking as if it was trying to express something.
Lu Li could tell what Little White was trying to say. He asked, "Are you saying that you cannot control them now and you can only suppress them?
When you are stronger, you will be able to control them? "
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White nodded. Lu Li patted Little White's head and comforted it, "Little White, don't worry. This is the Prison of Darkness. Up there is the Prison of Soul. Across the Prison of Soul is the Prison of Thunder.
The thunderbolts there are strong. If you can stand it, your abilities will soar. "
"Squeak, squeak!"
