Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 392 - 390: The Awakened Cave Bug and the Trio’s Big Brother Cocooned
In an instant, the Spiritual Sense silently surged into the cave passage.
But what it detected made Lu Ye slightly stunned.
He thought that this trio had ulterior motives for sending him to scout.
Perhaps there were lurking fierce beasts or traps, even puppets, hidden in the cave passage.
Yet at present, Lu Ye’s Spiritual Sense did not detect any fierce beasts or puppets.
Not even on the walls on either side of the passage did there appear to be any hidden weapons.
"This doesn’t make sense..."
Did these three really have no such intentions?
Since nothing was found temporarily, Lu Ye knew it would appear suspicious if he delayed answering, so he immediately retracted his Spiritual Sense and calmly said, "Fine, I will go and scout."
Seeing Lu Ye agree, a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the fat man.
Just go ahead, your companion will be well taken care of by us!
Acting as if oblivious, Lu Ye slowly walked towards the deep cave...
As Lu Ye scanned the area, Nangong Xihua couldn’t resist and covertly scanned with her Spiritual Sense but also found nothing.
Seeing Lu Ye about to enter the cave passage, the trio remained motionless, prompting Nangong Xihua to raise her eyebrows, "Why aren’t you moving?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in their eyes.
They exchanged glances and began slowly moving forward.
Nangong Xihua, sensing something off about the trio, walked at the rear, closely observing their actions.
She believed these three planned to find an opportunity to ambush Lu Ye.
Meanwhile, Lu Ye, having entered the cave passage, stood at a corner, without going deeper.
Although he detected nothing unusual, he was certain the trio harbored some intent.
And in the next moment, anomalies began appearing inside the cave.
Originally still, the ground inexplicably started to move with dense amounts of "dust"!
"This isn’t dust... rather, they’re tiny insects identical in color to the dust and debris of the ground?!"
In an instant, Lu Ye’s expression changed, no wonder he hadn’t detected any anomalies inside the cave.
It turns out this anomaly was camouflaged so flawlessly.
If not for this dust suddenly coming to life and wriggling, no one would have noticed.
The insects that came alive were incredibly fast and even had the ability for brief flight.
They flew straight towards Lu Ye, standing at the corner.
At least a hundred insects participated in the assault.
They swarmed as if seeing something delicious.
Lu Ye furrowed his brows, instantly unleashing two attacks.
The fierce strikes shredded all the insects instantly; they died on the spot, pitter-pattering like rain, falling to the ground.
What astonished Lu Ye further was what happened next.
As many of their companions’ bodies fell, numerous insects still camouflaged on the ground came to life again, scrambling to devour the fallen bodies.
In no time, the bodies were all devoured.
Inside the cave, many insects’ auras grew noticeably stronger, as if replenished with energy, poised to advance.
"This thing seems to be quite sinister..."
Lu Ye furrowed his brows tightly, looking at the cave passage, roughly 20 meters long.
If the 20-meter-long passage floor was filled with such strange things...
Then, at the deepest part of the passage, could it be some treasure, fortune... or an even greater danger?
Simultaneously, the fat man, with two companions, approached near the cave entrance, cautiously peeking inside.
Seeing Lu Ye still standing there unharmed, he was startled.
These strange insects inside, they had already tried to deal with.
Their numbers were incredibly dense!
Terrifyingly, if these insects closed in, they could gnaw through any protective shield!
For this reason, though they had once sneaked a smell of the medicine scent emanating from the crack below, they never crossed the cave passage for a thorough probe.
The last time, daring to enter the cave, they barely stepped inside before narrowly escaping with their lives.
However, after escaping, they noticed a rule: these insects seemed to only stay inside the passage and never stepped out.
Seeing Lu Ye standing at a corner and not moving further, not facing any immediate problems, a sinister gleam flashed in the fat man’s eyes.
With a glance at the two behind him, signaling them to block Nangong Xihua, he acted directly!
He struck out a palm towards Lu Ye!
Bringing Lu Ye here was not truly to explore the source of the medicinal scent.
They were aware that this opportunity was temporarily out of their reach.
This was merely a ruse to lure Lu Ye into the cave.
Lu Ye furrowed his brows.
Ignoring the fat man’s palm attack, Lu Ye indifferently extended a hand, slightly clasping...
An immensely powerful suction force suddenly appeared in the void, pulling the fat man into the cave before he could react!
Then, he was flung straight towards the depths of the cave.
At this moment, the fat man’s face changed color entirely.
Once he landed among the swarm, even with his strength at the Early Stage of the Innate Realm, he would definitely not return.
And further...
How could this Postnatal Realm Second Layer so easily block his attack, and how was he utterly helpless in his hands?!
No time to ponder this, the fat man gritted his teeth, raising an Innate Protective Shield.
But a second later, numerous insects quickly swarmed the shield’s surroundings, starting to gnaw, emitting teeth-aching screeching noises.
Inside the cave, most of the insects now "awakened," continuously heading towards the fat man who had fallen into the center of the cave passage.
Soon, they completely enveloped him, like a giant cocoon of insects.
A few seconds later, anguished screams of the fat man echoed from within the cocoon.
Hearing this commotion, the two guarding the cave entrance immediately stepped cautiously inside, glancing in.
Seeing Lu Ye still standing unharmed in the outer area without insects, while a giant insect cocoon appeared in the cave’s center.
Sounds of their elder brother’s screams came from within, growing weaker by the moment, and the two widened their eyes.
Could this be mistaken?!
Shouldn’t the one wrapped in the insect cocoon be Lu Ye?
"What have you done to our brother?!" the thin man shouted, releasing a sudden burst of energy.
Lu Ye ignored the thin man, his brow furrowing even more at the scene unfolding inside the cave.
