After glancing indifferently at Han Xiao and Xi Yun, the black-cloaked person turned around and left. The originally savage Soul Devouring Demon Worm seemed to have eaten its fill as it circled around for a while before flying into the darkness.

Waiting until there was no movement from his surroundings, Han Xiao bent down to resist the disgust in his heart. He picked up the eyeball from the ground and touched it, feeling that it was sticky. It was so soft that Han Xiao couldn't help but want to pinch it.

"Han Xiao, what are you going to do with that?" Xi Yun's expression was unsightly as he looked at the eyeball in Han Xiao's hand, as if he hadn't recovered from the scene just now.

Han Xiao casually threw his eyes into the distance, turned his head and said, "Nothing, I just want to experience this feeling."

"Experience this feeling?" Xi Yun didn't understand what Han Xiao meant, but he took a few steps forward to see that there was no movement from the surroundings. However, he saw a group of Soul Devouring Demonic Insects flying in front of him.

"Ah!" Seeing the sudden appearance of the Soul Devouring Demon Insect, Xi Yun let out a loud scream and slowly withdrew his leg. Seeing that Xi Yun didn't move forward, the Soul Devouring Demon Insects seemed to be relieved and flew back into the darkness.

He patted his chest to calm his mind. Seeing Han Xiao's thoughtful expression, Xi Yun walked to the side of Han Xiao and said, "That black-cloaked person is really despicable. He told these Soul Devouring Demonic Insects to watch over us. Now we really can't run away."

"Senior, do you still remember the habits of the Soul Devouring Demon Insect?" Han Xiao asked.

Although it was weird why Han Xiao asked him this, Xi Yun still said, "The Soul Devouring Demon Insects can only survive in the darkness and love to devour the souls of cultivators. That's why it's called the Soul Devouring Demon Insect."

"Yes, but I remember that the Soul Devouring Demon Insect cannot be kept in captivity. Once it is captured by a human cultivator, the Soul Devouring Demon Insect will automatically commit suicide or be killed. Do you know if I'm right?" Han Xiao asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Xi Yun nodded and said, "Indeed."

"If that's the case, then that's strange. You and I saw earlier that those Soul Devouring Demonic Insects were controlled by that black-robed man." Han Xiao touched his chin and said.

Hearing Han Xiao say this, Xi Yun also thought of this strange point and said, "So that's how it is. Han Xiao, we were all deceived."

"Deceived? Senior, what do you mean? " Han Xiao asked.

"Those are not Soul Devouring Demon Insects at all, but body devouring blood bugs that look very similar to Soul Devouring Demon Insects. Blood Devouring Blood Insects live off of the flesh of devouring cultivators, and although they look almost the same as the Soul Devouring Demon Insects, they are not as large as the Soul Devouring Demon Insects. They can fly in broad daylight, and can even be raised by humans." Xi Yun said excitedly.

"Blood Devouring Body Insects?" Han Xiao silently recited this name. Thinking of the name he had seen back then, his eyes revealed a trace of understanding.

"No wonder these Soul Devouring Demon Insects are able to survive during the day and be commanded by the black-robed man. So these aren't Soul Devouring Demon Insects but Blood Devouring Insects." Han Xiao clapped his hands and said.

"That's right. However, since they aren't the Soul Devouring Demon Insects, where did the Soul Devouring Demon Insects run off to?" Xi Yun said with a frown.

Han Xiao couldn't help but frown when he heard Xi Yun's words. Since the ones attacking them were the Blood Devouring Insects, then the location of the "resident" in the Hundred Night Woods became the key. Maybe they could find the Soul Devouring Demon Insects and then find the black cloaked man's purpose for training these Blood Devouring Insects.

Seemingly seeing through what Han Xiao was thinking, Xi Yun said from the side: "Han Xiao, I think you shouldn't have that kind of thought. We can't even deal with these Blood Devouring Body Insects, let alone those Soul Devouring Demon Insects?"

After thinking for a moment, Han Xiao's body trembled and said, "Indeed, our most important goal right now is to escape from this Hundred Nights Forest, and tell the courtyard what happened. If we can catch one or two of these Blood Devouring Body Worms as evidence, we can consider this mission completed."

"I also know that my priority right now is to escape, but you also saw that I was only able to walk a few meters before I was blown back by those blood bugs. Although there's no cage, these blood bugs are much stronger than a cage." Xi Yun said, annoyed.

Thinking about how he, the number one genius of the Star Glory Sect, would be trapped in this kind of place, who knew when his life would be lost, he felt a burst of annoyance.

He glanced at Xi Yun but did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and looked at the surrounding trees, as if he was carefully observing his surroundings.

After watching for a while, Han Xiao seemed to be tired of it and laid down on the ground with his hands behind his head, looking satisfied.

"Senior, do you still have more Invisibility Talismans?" Han Xiao asked.

"It was never useful, naturally …" After saying this, Xi Yun seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Han Xiao with excitement in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I think it's time to use it." With that said, Han Xiao took out a silver talisman paper from his storage ring. With a flame in his hand, he burned the silver talisman paper, leaving behind only the talisman quietly floating in the air.

Xi Yun burned the spell paper and placed it on his body. In an instant, the place where Xi Yun stood was nowhere to be seen.

As if seeing that the two of them had suddenly disappeared, a Blood Devouring Body Worm flew over as if it wanted to investigate, but it was grabbed by a white hand and disappeared the moment it came over.

Not long after the voice sounded, the black-robed man appeared where Han Xiao and Xi Yun were trapped. Seeing that there were no longer any traces of the two, the black-robed man frowned and went forward to touch something to make sure that he had not touched anything. His expression changed as he flew into the air and let out a buzzing sound before leaving with the Blood Devouring Body Insects.

After the black-cloaked man left for a while, two rays of silver light slowly appeared in the previously empty place. After the silver light faded, Han Xiao and Xi Yun's bodies were revealed.

"Senior, let's hurry up and leave before the man in black leaves." Han Xiao said.

"Alright." After speaking, the two of them carefully ran outside. When they saw the Hundred Nights Forest's exit again, Han Xiao rode on his Eagle Sword without hesitation while Xi Yun took out a flying sword and quickly flew outside.

After flying back, he used his hand to touch his surroundings again. Feeling that it was still air, a hint of anger flashed across his face, and he once again turned around to chase after the blood worm with the body devouring bug.
