Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1344 - 1394 Dangerous Black Miao Territory

Li Yifei finally reached the territory of the Black Miao, a bit easier to find than he imagined. According to the Na Yi tribesmen, the Black Miao region is full of poisonous insects. Li Yifei had walked less than half a mile before he had killed no fewer than ten poisonous snakes. Each was brightly colored, with triangular heads and menacing looks. He also stomped to death over a dozen poisonous scorpions and had dispatched a creature with a bright red body that looked like a silkworm.

He even spotted a butterfly fluttering gracefully through the air, about the size of a palm. It looked very beautiful, yet it landed instantly on the bright red insect. Its long proboscis, like a steel needle, pierced the body of the red insect, puncturing it in an instant. The red insect twisted its body, struggling to escape, even emitting a chirping sound, unclear if it was from its body shaking or truly from its mouth.

But the butterfly was too strong, with several claws holding onto the red insect, firmly controlling it. In just a few seconds, the body of the red insect shriveled visibly, while the abdomen of the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly swelled.

"Hiss... King Worm and Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly, how can this be? When did the poisonous creatures here evolve to this extent?" Aliza finally caught up, panting and gasping behind him. Li Yifei stopped not to watch these two poisonous insects fight but mainly to wait for him. He wasn’t afraid of these poisonous insects, but ahead, the forest was denser, with no visible direction. Li Yifei was afraid of wasting time, unable to find the Black Miao Village, so he waited for him.

Seeing these two poisonous insects, Aliza’s face, initially red from running, took on a pale tint, apparently frightened. The King Worm was already a highly venomous creature. In its larval stage, it was only the size of a soybean. After hatching, it needed to feed solely on flesh and blood. So growing to adulthood was not easy. Usually, they would find some snakes, insects, and poisonous rats, burrow into their bodies, slowly eating flesh and drinking blood. Once one was eaten, it moved on to the next. The growth was slow, but once the first evolution was complete, its toxicity was astonishing. Normal poisonous snakes wouldn’t dare provoke it lightly. Plus, the King Worm’s body was exceedingly tough. Although it looked soft and fleshy, an ordinary person might not even be able to crush it with a stomp. So, this fleshy insect seemed harmless but was actually deadly.

This large bright red King Worm had obviously consumed blood for years to grow to such a form. Even the White Miao People who were good at nurturing Yang Gu would not dare to touch this kind of poisonous creature lightly, for a single bite could mean paying with one’s life.

Yet, such a majestic King Worm was consumed by the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly in just a few seconds, leaving only a layer of red skin, showing the power of the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly.

Li Yifei also found these two insects threatening, but he didn’t know that Miao people’s poison worms were divided into two kinds. One was planted inside the body, developing instantly upon contact with flesh and blood, posing a threat to humans — this was called the Inner Worm. The other was external worms like the King Worm and Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly. External worms varied in shape but had one thing in common: they all went through brutal elimination, fighting each other until only the strongest Worm King survived.

He even sensed a thread of energy from the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly, a natural energy gathered on the butterfly, slowly radiating as it moved. This was especially evident after it absorbed the red insect.

Magical yet dangerous; looking at Aliza’s expression, one could understand how perilous these two things were.

"Father was right; the White Miao are kind, yet those Black Miao are truly evil, letting so many poisonous creatures roam the wilderness, practically aiming to kill people." Seeing these poisonous creatures, Aliza felt fearful. He had just stepped onto the Black Miao’s land and encountered so many ruthless poisonous insects, and this was only the edge. If he went further in, he would surely meet more.

Li Yifei heard Aliza’s mutterings, and although he didn’t understand, he could see Aliza’s timidity from his expression and eyes. He shook his head slightly, pointing towards the mountain ahead. Li Yifei asked, "Ahead, is that the Black Miao Village?"

Hearing Li Yifei, Aliza snapped back to reality, looking at him with a somewhat peculiar expression, speaking a long string of words. Li Yifei chuckled, gesturing for Aliza to return. Since they were close, Li Yifei no longer needed a guide.

He glanced at the satiated Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly, which was hovering not far from Li Yifei. It looked just large and colorful on the surface, but Aliza was extremely cautious. Typically, the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly wouldn’t attack after feeding, but who could guarantee it wouldn’t attack the two of them?

Aliza had already pulled out a worm he had raised from his sleeve, ready to fight the Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly.

He understood Li Yifei’s gesture for him to leave, but he was there to supervise Li Yifei, and if he turned and left now, the other could simply walk away, fleeing from here.

I can’t leave. Aliza bolstered his courage, shaking his head forcefully, walking to Li Yifei’s side, saying a few words, and pointing towards the distant mountain peak before continuing forward.

The Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterfly shook its body, then flew away, and the crisis temporarily faded. Aliza carefully wrapped the King Worm’s carcass in leaves and tucked it into his arms, evidently useful to him.

Li Yifei did not stop the other party. Since he was willing to follow, then let him follow. Regarding this Miao person who had attacked him twice, Li Yifei neither liked nor disliked him. In any case, he never had any good feelings toward rivals in love, especially those who actively sought trouble with him. However, since he was from the White Miao Village, and Aliza’s father was a good man, Li Yifei hadn’t intended to watch him die here.

At this moment, Aliza was crouched and moving slowly. He needed to be constantly vigilant for any poisonous creatures that might jump out, while Li Yifei continued striding forward, holding a handful of steel needles. He carried some of these with him at all times, allowing him to sense any disturbances nearby, and once the steel needle flew out, it could mean the end of a poisonous creature.

Aliza could only blame Li Yifei for being reckless. To dare to act like this in such a place was suicidal. The key is, if you want to risk your life, don’t drag me down with you. Aliza’s cautious walking was due to his fear of provoking a swarm of poisonous creatures, yet the other party’s actions infuriated him.

After walking a stretch, Aliza suddenly pointed at Li Yifei, muttering softly under his breath, with a look of annoyance on his face.

Where Aliza had stopped, directly above his head was a grass-green, over ten centimeters long little snake hissing its crimson tongue, moving silently with its target set on Aliza. Originally, if he hadn’t stopped, he would have just passed by. But because he stopped to scold Li Yifei, the little snake seized the opportunity, its tail coiling around a branch, its body already curved, just about to aim at Aliza below to attack.

Li Yifei frowned, raised his hand, and a steel needle flew out, instantly reaching the little green snake, accurately piercing its head, causing the snake to die immediately. Its body fell from the tree, landing right in front of Aliza, scaring him pale.

Aliza had seen Li Yifei’s movement but hadn’t seen the steel needle. Suddenly seeing the green snake fall in front of him nearly scared the soul out of him. This green snake wasn’t a juvenile; quite the contrary, it was a mature Sky Blue Serpent, over ten centimeters long and already an adult venomous snake. Like other poisonous creatures, the Sky Blue Serpent was also a type of poisonous worm, classified as an outer worm, with terrifying venom power, and it’s rarely heard of anyone surviving a Sky Blue Serpent bite.

Aliza looked down at the snakehead pierced by the steel needle. Recalling Li Yifei’s hand movement earlier, he finally understood that Li Yifei had saved him. He was actually saved by his rival, which instantly made Aliza feel humiliated. He, a true Miao person, and a worm breeder at that, hadn’t even spotted a Sky Blue Serpent.

Aliza’s face looked very unpleasant, feeling both fear and humiliation.

"It’s dangerous up ahead, go back!" Li Yifei said plainly, unaffected by Aliza’s complex expressions and gazes, just speaking indifferently.

Despite the language barrier, Aliza surprisingly understood Li Yifei’s meaning, shaking his head firmly and clutching his hands tightly. He believed he was absolutely no worse than the other person, and besides, he was a brave White Miao person, blessed by the Nuwa Goddess.

Turning back to continue forward, Aliza became stubborn, at least not wanting Li Yifei to look down on him, and certainly not to be outdone by him.

In the realm of worm breeders, typically the outer worms are weak, but the deeper you go, the stronger the worms get. Yet unexpectedly, even on the outskirts, they encountered King Worms, Gorgeous Blood-drinking Butterflies, and even the potent poisonous creatures like the Sky Blue Serpent. Who knew what lay inside?

Having walked less than three hundred meters deeper, Li Yifei suddenly stopped, frowning, his face growing more vigilant. A sense of unease arose, but a few meters ahead, the guide Aliza remained oblivious, clearing the path with a machete.

The forest was eerily quiet; there were not even flying birds, let alone the small animals often seen in other woods. This silence created a frightening atmosphere, and the oppressive feeling in his heart made Li Yifei take it seriously.

Suddenly, Aliza cried out and jumped back a step, clutching his hand. On his finger, black and red blood was oozing, clearly bitten by something unknown.

Li Yifei suddenly moved, appearing beside Aliza, and immediately saw a black, about ten centimeters long centipede lying on a leaf. With a wave of his hand, he released a sliver of True Qi, slicing the centipede into two. However, the feeling of unease only deepened, and turning around, he saw Aliza raising his machete to chop off the bitten finger.
