"This bug is disgusting." Lin Li instinctively took two steps back and said disdainfully.
After the pitch-black, ugly bug crawled out of Cao Yi's nostril, its body began to tremble. It twisted several times, rolled onto the grass, and lay motionless.
Lin Li picked up a branch and prodded the ugly bug a few times. No matter how much he poked it, there was no reaction.
"Pfft."
The branch pierced the bug's body, and pale-green fluid seeped from the wound.
Even after suffering such an injury, the ugly bug still showed no reaction at all.
"It's dead."
Lin Li looked at Cao Yi and the bug, both of them dead, and slightly furrowed his brows.
"Which bastard ordered this guy to attack me?"
He had originally wanted to find out who was behind it from Cao Yi, but now the trail had gone cold. Even if Lin Li racked his brains, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Sigh."
"Forget it. When you reach the bridge, the way across will appear. No point wasting brain cells on this. I'll deal with what's at hand first..."
Lin Li sighed, adjusted his mindset, and cast his troubles to the back of his mind.
"Boom."
A huge fireball rapidly condensed into shape before flying toward Cao Yi's corpse.
Before long, Lin Li had completely erased the enemy who had ambushed him. Then he picked up the spoils left at the scene.
"This dagger is exquisitely crafted. If I sell it, it should be worth quite a bit." Lin Li beamed at the spoils before turning and heading toward where his teammates were.
Rong City.
Inside a luxurious villa, the stooped Qin Liuhe was looking through documents in his study.
Suddenly, a pale-golden Spiritual Light appeared between his brows before vanishing in an instant.
