Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1356 - 1406 Showing Weakness to the Enemy

Song An never expected Li Yifei to suddenly make a move at this time, turning the focus on him and forcing him to step up as the damned trial person. His face turned green at once; if he had known this, he would have stayed in the back and not pushed forward.

But now, with Li Yifei provoking like this, Song An either had to leave immediately or agree, otherwise the cunning Li Yifei would certainly not let it go.

Li Yifei tapped his heel impatiently on the ground, urging, "Over there, can you hurry up a bit? It’s just a trial person being pushed forward, is it that difficult? Or is it that you all lack confidence in your worm removal capabilities, afraid that whoever comes out will just die? If that’s the case, I think we should just forget about this worm fight, and you all should go back where you came from."

Tianbao couldn’t stand it upon hearing this. The Heimiao Clan has always believed their worms are the most formidable, and their ability to remove worms is the strongest, so of course, they refused to admit defeat. Tianbao turned his head and persuaded, "Mr. Song, why don’t you be the trial person? I promise you won’t feel a lot of pain. After being infected, we’ll remove the worm for you as fast as possible."

Song An’s face was unpredictable, glancing at Li Yifei, seeing his arrogance, Song An couldn’t swallow his anger.

"Fine! I’ll do it, but Tianbao, if you can’t remove the worm quickly, you know the consequences." Song An first whispered to the nearby Heimiao people, including Tianbao, who nodded quickly; then he tidied up his clothes before stepping forward slowly, looking at Li Yifei and saying, "Li Yifei, I’ll be the trial person for the Heimiao, are you satisfied now? I will watch you suffer from the worm’s torment, dying in endless pain."

"Someone who dares not acknowledge his own origins—what credibility does such words have? So, let’s save the useless talk, start the challenge quickly, and see who laughs last." Li Yifei couldn’t help but chuckle, squinting at Song An walking over; close enough, he could even feel the other’s breath and heartbeat, which had become rapid and accelerated, proving the other’s guilty conscience.

Song An’s breath hitched. Indeed, when Li Yifei rescued Bunong, he said he wasn’t a member of the Song Family but was from the Black Miao Village. He lied, but he was just scared out of his wits by the sudden appearance of Li Yifei and said so for self-preservation.

Now that Li Yifei exposed him in front of everyone, Song An only felt his face burning, angrier in his heart, and pointed at Li Yifei furiously, shouting back, "Then let’s start the worm fight and see who laughs last today!"

Li Yifei spread his hands, shrugging slightly, showing he didn’t care at all. After Song An finished speaking, he angrily turned and walked back to the Heimiao people, telling Tianbao directly, "Use the best worm on me, make sure he’s dead."

"Mr. Song, don’t act hastily; the first round let’s follow the original plan and probe first. Once we understand the opponent, we’ll target with precision. There are three rounds, you agree?" While Tianbao said this, he received a black box from the tribe and opened it to confirm the contents were correct.

Song An stared at Tianbao for a while, still nodded, saying, "These things, you’re the expert. But one thing I must emphasize: in today’s three worm fights, he must die. Even if you can’t kill him, leave him here for me!"

Tianbao nodded repeatedly. Song An further said, "And my safety must be ensured, you know, I could have just abstained."

Song An cherished his life, not having lived enough, nor wanting to lose his life in this barren land, so surviving was his priority, and killing Li Yifei was second.

Li Yifei returned to his side’s lineup, without needing many words, merely nodding to several clan chiefs, who responded by bringing out the worms for the first round of the worm fight.

The three challenges differ; the first round employs an Inner Worm, the second an Outer Worm, and the third allows free manipulation, so both sides will choose their third round strategy based on their tribal habits.

The two exchanged places in each other’s territory, Li Yifei appearing calm, while Song An’s face was tense.

Li Yifei saw Tianbao take out a small green pellet from the box, more like crystal than an egg, and the green crystal was placed in the water; Tianbao gently shook it while speaking to Li Yifei, "This worm is called Green Worm; drink it."

Li Yifei heard the name and furrowed his brow, pointing at the worm and asking, "Green Worm? That’s quite a strange name. What effect does it have when drunk?"

Tianbao raised his eyebrows, let out a sinister laugh, and said gloomily, "Haha, you’ll know once you drink it!"

Li Yifei picked up the bowl, brought it to his lips, and stared intently at the Green Worm as if trying to see what’s inside. Then he took a deep breath, raised the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. To the others like Tianbao, it seemed Li Yifei was indeed scared and anxious, making a big decision before he drank the water.

Inner Worms are mostly ingested; after drinking the Green Worm, Li Yifei immediately gathered True Qi, searching for the Green Worm in his esophagus and stomach. With Inner Worms, he wasn’t entirely sure he could expel them; it’s proven that some Inner Worms he couldn’t locate.

This life-threatening situation required Li Yifei to be cautious. He didn’t want to die, and fortunately, within seconds, Li Yifei found the Green Worm. The Green Worm entered his body and magically revived. According to the information conveyed by True Qi, an image of the Green Worm appeared in Li Yifei’s mind, resembling a green beetle, but with two large pincers on its front side, seemingly where the attacks originated.

Silently controlled by True Qi, the Green Worm appeared contained on the surface. Li Yifei suddenly opened his eyes, clutched his stomach, and his facial features began to change. His face twitched, fists clenched tightly, knuckles turning white as his body trembled.

Seeing this, Tianbao’s slightly tense expression instantly transformed into delight. He clapped his hands and laughed, "No matter how skilled you are, you can’t withstand even a tiny Worm. Haha, kid, go back quickly and let the White Miao remove the Worm. Remember to be quick, or the Green Worm will eat up your stomach. Even if the Worm is removed, you won’t survive."

The Green Worm used by Tianbao in the first round was not highly toxic, yet as an inner Worm, it was quite insidious. Upon entering the body, it directly destroys organs and tissues instead of causing paralysis through poison, opting for direct physical damage.

Li Yifei appeared extremely agonized on the surface, clutching his stomach as if the Green Worm was acting inside it. In reality, he had already killed the Green Worm, transforming it into protein and turning it into a substance beneficial to Li Yifei.

Tianbao’s joy was evident, especially seeing Li Yifei exhibit symptoms of being affected by the Green Worm. He waved his hand toward Yifei, saying, "Hurry up and get the Worm removed, or your life won’t be spared."

Tianbao was confident that Li Yifei had no resistance to the Worm, ensuring a great advantage for the Black Miao and fulfilling Song An’s task. Meanwhile, he needed to promptly remove the Worm from Song An.

Na Yi, seeing him like this, cried out and rushed toward him. Several young strong members of the ethnic group hurriedly ran over to lift Li Yifei and place him on a hastily made stretcher. But Li Yifei pushed everyone away, clutching his abdomen, and walked slowly toward his own side.

Na Yi’s tears streamed down as she hurriedly examined Li Yifei. The White Miao’s experts on Worm understanding also rushed over to assist in the examination. After bustling for a while, they couldn’t find any Worm. Li Yifei secretly gestured to Bunong and the others, who immediately relaxed.

If not, seeing Li Yifei in pain, they would have worried that he couldn’t remove the Worm himself.

Similarly, Song An was afflicted with an inner Worm, mixed with alcohol, called Mad Worm. When mixed with alcohol and consumed, it instantly triggers effects.

The Black Miao plotted against Li Yifei, so Bunong and the others had to counter Song An. As the name suggests, the Mad Worm causes madness upon ingestion. Its effects vary depending on the time it’s used, and at midday, it’s at its strongest, especially when mixed with high-proof white spirit. freёnovelkiss.com

Song An felt anxious initially, but after ingesting it, he didn’t feel any different. He wanted to quickly return to his own side, so he turned to run back. Yet after a few steps, Song An suddenly slipped and fell face-first into the mud. Lucky it was mud; if it were concrete... there might have been a need for cosmetic surgery for half of his face.

Tianbao quickly dispatched people to fetch him while trying to guess what poison Song An was under.

A few seconds later, Song An got up on his own, looking like a crazed monkey, leaping up and flailing his arms and legs. Several young strong individuals from the Black Miao Village tried to lift him, but were punched, kicked, and hit by Song An, unable to get close. It’s unclear where Song An suddenly got such immense strength.

"Damn it!" Tianbao saw him like this, clapped his hand vigorously, yelled while running out, "Quick, hold him down; don’t let him get more crazed."

They managed to hold him down, stuffing a wooden stick — probably picked up from somewhere — into Song An’s mouth. It was covered in dirt and seemingly some animal dung; it was too chaotic at the time for anyone to notice.

This inner Worm was easily resolved by holding the person down and using a needle to pierce the upper lip, also known as the philtrum, and the vital point at the lower body. Lacking a needle, Tianbao used a Worm pin instead, having people pin Song An down and pierce him directly.

Poor Song An was already pierced in the abdomen by Li Yifei three days ago, still in vague pain, and missing his morning routine. Now, in his madness, he got pierced at the vital point.

Yet after this, Song An suddenly became clear-headed, his eyes stopped rolling back, body shuddered, and regained consciousness. Seeing a crowd around him, still holding his arms and legs, Song An immediately widened his eyes, pulled the stick from his mouth, spat a few times, and shouted at the crowd, "Get off me! Why are you surrounding me!"

"Alright, it’s over; the first Worm is removed!" Tianbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Song An got up from the ground, "You’ve got some skill, I’ll give you that! Ugh, what taste is in my mouth? Who the hell did something to me?"
