Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 286 - Killer Bees

"Unafraid of my alchemy flame?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Is there really such a powerful creature that has no weakness?" Yang Wei asked.

Zhu Wenqian looked at Yang Wei as she extended her hand out to try and flick his forehead.

However, Yang Wei noticed her action and stopped her in time.

Yang Wei grabbed her wrist as he questioned her, "What are you trying to do?"

"What? You can flick my forehead when I act ignorant but I can't do the same to you? What kind of logic is that?"

Zhu Wenqian pouted angrily as she tried her best to flick on his forehead.

Alas, Yang Wei didn't budge an inch and remained strong on his grip.

"Y-You're bullying me.." Zhu Wenqian stopped trying as she crossed her arms in anger.

Yang Wei ignored her moody behavior as he stood up and extended his hand out.

Although still a bit annoyed at Yang Wei for not giving her any leeway, Zhu Wenqian grabbed Yang Wei's hand and stood up with his help.

Afterward, they proceeded to move around the Anguished Fog.

Since Yang Wei vaguely understood the current structure of the Anguished Fog, they have stopped going around in a circle.

"After the cave passage, we're now venturing in the Anguished Fog." Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue.

She then began recalling their series of adventures together that seemed to keep on happening without any pause. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

"Maybe your luck is really this trashy, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian muttered as she shifted the blame to Yang Wei.

"Can you stop throwing shades at me?" Yang Wei asked.

He was trying to concentrate on their current coordination yet Zhu Wenqian can't seem to be able to stop talking.

"Just stay quiet and let me focus okay?"

"Do you think I want to keep talking to you? The reason why I keep talking is to distract myself since I'm scared and nervous in our situation."

Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he patted her back softly. "It's fine to be afraid since I'm also scared as well."

"Stop lying, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian scoffed as she refused to believe him.

"You have been calm the entire time and were even investigating that skeleton with a nonchalant expression," she added.

Yang Wei wrinkled his brows. 'Her deduction skills despite having her eyes closed is insane.'

Unfortunately though, Zhu Wenqian was still naive into believing what her eyesight showed her.

"Zhu Wenqian, I may seem calm and collected on the surface but secretly, I'm afraid just like you." Yang Wei said in a solemn voice.

"I see…"

Sometime later, Yang Wei smiled happily as he turned around and looked at Zhu Wenqian.

"And we're out of the Anguished Fog." Yang Wei said as their vision was soon hit by the blinding sunlight.

Zhu Wenqian took a deep breath, smelling the refreshing air that wasn't covered by some white fog.

"Finally out…" Zhu Wenqian exclaimed as she released her grip on Yang Wei's sleeve.

Although they have left the Anguished Fog, Yang Wei soon noticed something was amiss.

"Wait a minute, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei grabbed on Zhu Wenqian's shoulder as he prevented her from moving around.

"What now?" Zhu Wenqian asked in a dumbfounded tone. "Could it be you still want to hug this queen into your embrace?"

Yang Wei ignored her teasing as he glanced up at the sky. The clear blue sky was filled with multiple clouds and had a large sun shining brightly.

Normally, there shouldn't be anything wrong with such perfect weather for them but Yang Wei had just got out of the Anguished Fog.

Thus, Yang Wei was skeptical about the really normal and beautiful weather in the sky.

"What's wrong with your expression?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

Yang Wei wrinkled his brows as he answered her with a question of his. "Where did we come from, Zhu Wenqian?"

"What do you mean by where do we come from?"

"I'm saying that we walked through the Anguished Fog from the cave and somehow we came outside. Don't you find it weird?"

Zhu Wenqian pondered over his words as she found him logical.

They were in a cave and Zhu Wenqian recalled the passage she coincidentally opened was near the underground area.

"Now that you mention it… are we really outside the cave?" Zhu Wenqian muttered.

"That's exactly what I'm suspicious about…" Yang Wei walked toward a tree bark and placed his hand on it.

His expression changed when he realized the texture of the tree bark was significantly different from the tree bark he was laying at the beginning.

"I'm afraid we're stuck in the cave or we are still in the Anguished Fog." Yang Wei concluded.

"You're joking right?" Zhu Wenqian was dumbfounded.

The scenery in front of her seemed so realistic that she couldn't imagine it being fake.

Suddenly, Yang Wei heard a buzzing sound coming from behind.

"Careful!" Yang Wei shouted as he pulled Zhu Wenqian closer to him.

After that, Yang Wei propelled himself backward while holding Zhu Wenqian.

With a swoosh, Yang Wei managed to pull Zhu Wenqian away from her previous position.

The position that Zhu Wenqian was originally in was drilled into multiple pieces.

If Yang Wei were even a little second late then it would have been Zhu Wenqian getting hit.

Zhu Wenqian's face was ashen as she swallowed some of her saliva nervously.

"W-What happened?" Zhu Wenqian asked. "I didn't even sense any danger nor presence around here."

Meanwhile, Yang Wei squinted his eyes as he focused on his spiritual perception.

When his spiritual perception failed to detect an enemy, Yang Wei finally agreed with Zhu Wenqian's words.

His luck is really trash lately since the first thing they encountered after leaving the Anguished Fog was Killer Bees.

"Zhu Wenqian, hold tightly on my shoulders." Yang Wei warned as he activated his movement technique.

"I fear that there are Killer Bees around the area so we'll need to leave quickly."

Zhu Wenqian didn't complain further as she wrapped her arms around Yang Wei's neck.

She was being princess carried now as they retreated away.f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
