Seeing the bug bite off a piece of his internal organs, Han Xiao immediately felt as if his feet were nailed down. Even if he wanted to move, he was unable to do so.

Xi Yun, who was at the side, did not see the black bugs. He reached out his hand to pat Han Xiao's shoulder and said, "Han Xiao, if it doesn't work, then we'll have to take this corpse back. Han Xiao, Han Xiao." Aware that something was wrong with Han Xiao, Xi Yun followed Han Xiao's gaze and saw the small black bugs. He immediately felt his entire body stiffen, not knowing what to say.

After an unknown period of time, Han Xiao was the first to react and looked at the black bugs. He extended his hand and shot out five fireballs, quickly wrapping around the corpse.

The scorching heat came from the flames, and in almost an instant, the corpse was burnt into charcoal. The small black bugs flapped their wings as if they had met their nemesis, and wanted to fly out, but before they could fly out they were engulfed by the flames.

In this Hundred Night Forest, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects could be said to be everywhere. Even if they were afraid of fire, one or two of them were fine, but if several tens of thousands of the Soul Devouring Demon Insects were to throw themselves at him without regard for their lives, he was afraid that before he could even burn them to death, they would have already become a dried corpse, and there would even be a fate similar to that of the one on the ground.

Thinking about that Han Xiao, the hairs on his body rose up, and for the first time, he wanted to retreat.

"Han Xiao, I think we should head back. Continuing deeper is useless other than suicide." Seemingly having made up his mind, Xi Yun said.

Han Xiao looked at Charcoal on the ground and nodded, then followed Xi Yun out of the room. Although he was a bit unwilling, it would not be wise to go further in.

When Han Xiao and Xi Yun left, their footsteps were twice as fast as when they first arrived. It seemed as if they couldn't immediately leave the Hundred Nights Forest and this suffocating place.

However, things went against their wishes. Just as the two of them reached the Hundred Night Forest's exit, there was a buzzing sound coming from behind them. They turned their heads and majestically flew towards the two of them, and the mere flapping of their wings caused Han Xiao's heart to tremble.

"Hurry up and leave." Realizing that something was not right, Han Xiao shouted as he mounted his Eagle Peak Sword and flew outwards. Xi Yun threw his fan and mounted it as well, and quickly flew outside.

Behind them, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects also quickly chased after them as if they had locked onto their target.

"Lightning Spirit Art."

"Flame Explosion." Along the way, Han Xiao and Xi Yun both launched their attacks without asking for money, but the sky full of Soul Devouring Demonic Insects seemed to be endless, and once they were killed, another wave would immediately chase after them. Seeing that someone was about to catch up to them, Han Xiao clenched his teeth and threw out thirty fireballs.

Realizing that his attack would not be of much use, Han Xiao's heart was filled with helplessness. As he turned around to attack the Soul Devouring Demon Insect behind him, he channeled his Aura Force towards the Eagle Peak Sword beneath his feet, and the quality of his immortal cultivation also appeared at this moment. Xi Yun had already taken the Awakening Soul Pill four times since coming out of the Hundred Night Forest, but Han Xiao had not eaten it at all. However, Han Xiao was not in the mood to pay attention to all of this. The Soul Devouring Demon Insects were getting closer and closer, and Han Xiao could already smell the stench coming from the air. When he turned around, he saw that the Soul Devouring Demon Insects were already less than ten meters away from him and Xi Yun, and was about to catch up.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Xi Yun let out a blood-curdling screech. Han Xiao turned his head to see that Xi Yun's fan had been bitten by the Soul Devouring Demon Worm and was about to fall to the ground.

Taking a look at the Soul Devouring Demon Worm behind him, Han Xiao controlled the Eagle Summit Sword to wake up love, and quickly flew to Xi Yun's side, reaching out his hand to pull Xi Yun over to his own sword.

"Senior, hold on tight." After Han Xiao finished speaking, he stepped on the Eagle Peak Sword and once again increased his speed, instantly increasing the distance between him and the Soul Devouring Demon Insect by twenty meters. However, Han Xiao's heart did not relax just because of the distance between him and the Soul Devouring Demon Insect. His expression was still very heavy, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the Soul Devouring Demon Insects.

Han Xiao felt helpless in his heart, but at the same time, he was also filled with doubts. Logically speaking, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects were lazy bugs, and unless their prey automatically brought them to him, they would not take the initiative to attack. However, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects behind them chased them for a full day, and he could not find out whether they were lazy or not.

"Senior, have you noticed that there's something wrong with those Soul Devouring Demon Insects?" Han Xiao asked.

"There is indeed something wrong with the Soul Devouring Demon Insect since it has already chased us all the way here. Han Xiao, the Spiritual City is 700 miles in front of us. Once we reach the Spiritual City, we will be safe." Xi Yun said.

With his current speed, he would be able to reach the seven hundred mile distance in at most half a day. Thinking about how he would be able to get rid of these bugs in half a day, Han Xiao's mood relaxed, and his speed also increased.

After passing through another mountain range and reaching Spirit City, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects suddenly increased their speed, the original distance of more than twenty meters was shortened to five meters, and a few of the Soul Devouring Demon Insects flying at the front were about to come into contact with Xi Yun.

"Han Xiao, increase your speed." Seeing the Soul Devouring Demon Worm Xi Yun's loud shout, Han Xiao was so shocked that he immediately channeled his source energy into the Eagle Peak Sword. The Eagle Peak Sword was even more unable to accept the sudden influx of so much source energy that it was trembling slightly, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Feeling the change in the Eagle Peak Sword, Han Xiao's heart sank, but before he could stabilize the sword, the sky above his head suddenly darkened, the area in front and behind was completely black, and the Soul Devouring Demon Insects behind had unknowingly caught up and surrounded the two of them.

Smelling the fishy stench in the air, Han Xiao and Xi Yun looked at each other. Seeing the fear and regret in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but regret coming to the Hundred Nights Forest to investigate.

"Buzz buzz." As the sound neared, Han Xiao and Xi Yun could already imagine the same scene as the corpse just now. Their hearts suddenly felt a chill as they saw a gust of black fog blow towards them. Their originally clear minds began to turn turbid, and in the end, with a "clang", the Eagle Peak Sword fell to the ground.

"Is this the Underworld?" When Han Xiao woke up again and looked at his surroundings, he said this softly. But when he saw where he was, he immediately realized that this wasn't some Underworld but the Hundred Nights Forest.

When he turned around to see that Xi Yun was still sleeping, a man dressed in grey clothes was lying down beside him. He hurriedly pushed Xi Yun a few times, but then he saw Xi Yun slowly open his hazy eyes and looked at him in confusion.

"Senior, we did not die. This is the Hundred Nights Deep Forest." Han Xiao immediately said.

Hearing the words "not dead", Xi Yun's hazy eyes immediately turned clear. He raised his head and looked around in disbelief.

"Han Xiao, we really aren't dead. I clearly remember that we were surrounded by the Soul Devouring Demon Insects." Xi Yun said.

"I also remember that we were surrounded by the Soul Devouring Demon Insects. Maybe it's because their appetite was bad that they didn't turn us into that corpse." Thinking about that corpse's miserable state, Han Xiao couldn't help but shiver. He felt that if he continued to think about it, there would be a few days when he wouldn't be able to eat.

Xi Yun shook his head, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard footsteps approaching. He and Han Xiao turned their heads to see a man wrapped in a black robe walking in front of them. Around his body were dozens of Soul Devouring Demonic Insects, but the strange thing was that the Soul Devouring Demonic Insects didn't bite him.

"They're all awake." His hoarse voice sounded, causing Han Xiao to be unsure of his age, but just as he was about to ask, he heard a hoarse voice.

"It's fine if you're awake, but I'll let you see in advance." With that, the black robed man walked in front of the unconscious man and stomped on his stomach.

"Ah!" The man yelled as he sat up. When he saw the black-robed man, he seemed to have seen something terrifying. His body trembled as he tried to avoid the black robed man's touch.

With another kick, the black-clothed man kicked the man to the side once more. He pulled the man's leg as if he were dragging a beast, and dragged him twenty meters away from Han Xiao and Xi Yun.

"Buzz buzz." A buzzing sound came from the black-cloaked person's mouth. One after another, the Soul Devouring Demonic Insects appeared from the darkness as if they had been summoned. They were all eager to try something, as if they were waiting for something.

"Go." The black-robed man waved his hand, and the Soul Devouring Demon Insect that was originally circling in the air rapidly flew towards the man as if it had found its target.

As if he had felt the threat of death, the man suddenly stood up and ran in the direction of Han Xiao and Xi Yun, yelling out the second word, "Save me, save me!" Before the man could say the word, dozens of Soul Devouring Demonic Insects flew out of his mouth, his ears and nostrils also had black insects crawling out of them. The Soul Devouring Demonic Insects in the air had already surrounded the man in an instant, and their eyes that were filled with writing had been concealed by the two Soul Devouring Demonic Insects.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects dispersed, revealing a floor of fresh blood and a skeleton stained red with fresh blood. A pair of black eyes seemed to lose all support as they rolled down from the eye sockets to Han Xiao's feet.
