"Can it still survive?"
Watching Chi Hong, who was already on the brink of death in front of him, Chen Mo's face showed a look of surprise.
Chi Hong's entire flesh and blood had long since vanished, leaving only pile upon pile of white bones, yet he was still alive with only a single head.
This would be the case for anyone else; it is likely that they would have died before their entire flesh and blood was consumed.
"This is the other lifepath insect of Chi Hong at work. As long as his head is not completely eaten away, he will not die. Moreover, he can even compensate for his missing body through the insects surrounding him..."
Xiao Douding explained from the side, only to see that as the countless insects swarmed towards Chi Hong's body, his flesh and blood seemed to recover somewhat.
However, soon it was swallowed clean once again.
Recovery, loss, and so on in a cycle.
"Chi Hong, you can't survive, my Little Red will kill you soon enough."
Xiao Douding stared coldly at Chi Hong, who was lying on the ground and begging for mercy, with no trace of sympathy on his face.
"Xiao Yue, I'm already like this. Can't you forgive me?"
Chi Hong spoke with little energy, a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Xiao Douding's face was cold, "Set me free? If you win today, would you spare me? No, you would only ravage my body and push me to the brink of death."
"Xiao Yue"
Chi Hong suddenly raised his voice, "We have known each other for a hundred years. Why are you not giving me even the slightest face?"
Xiao Douding did not respond to Chi Hong. After a cold glance at him, she turned her gaze towards Chen Mo and changed her expression.
"Big brother, do you think I'm too heartless?"
Xiao Douding asked anxiously.
Chen Mo raised a hand and gently stroked Xiao Douding's head, "You're right. If he wins today, he definitely wouldn't spare you. Since that's the case, why should you let him go? That way, he might come back to take revenge on you in the future."
"The wildfire will not be extinguished, and new life will sprout in the spring wind."
After Chen Mo's words fell, Xiao Douding finally relaxed. As long as his brother didn't think she did anything wrong, that was enough for her.
Thinking so, Xiao Douding suddenly noticed that beneath the pitch-black ground, a glimmer of light was piercing through.
Only a rainbow spider was quietly lying in the center. It would be impossible for them to see it if it weren't for the numerous insects frantically trying to heal Chi Hong around them.
"What is this..."
Xiao Douding looked at the spider lying quietly on the ground in surprise. The innate ability of an insect master allowed her to sense that this spider was no ordinary creature, even more powerful than her three lifepath insects.
The spider remained motionless, as if it had fallen asleep. As the insects covering it dispersed, it seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened its eyes.
Then, as it saw Xiao Douding, several bright red eyes blinked rapidly, as if very surprised.
"Is that my scent?"
Xiao Douding felt surprised. She could feel her own scent on the spider, which meant that it had recognized her as its master.
"This is the crimson spider I've been cultivating for years. Its power is comparable to sacred insects. Since you have fed it with your flesh and blood, it recognized you as its master earlier."
"I had thought that if I could get your body, the powerful Wanda spider would be mine. But I never imagined I would end up like this."
"Xiao Yue, since I've made some contributions despite not having any merits, please spare my life."
Chi Hong weakly opened his mouth.
Xiao Douding did not answer Chi Hong and instead excitedly stepped forward. She did not expect that Chi Hong had secretly cultivated such a powerful insect over the years.
Comparable to sacred insects, with its help, her strength could be taken to the next level.
Upon pondering this, Xiao Douding walked a few steps forward without hesitation and gently reached out to touch the Wanda spider.
"Wait."
Suddenly, Chen Mo spoke up.
Chen Mo doesn't understand insects as well as Xiao Douding does, but when Chi Hong's words fell and he saw Xiao Douding approaching the Wanda spider, he clearly noticed a smile that Chi Hong couldn't help but show unintentionally.
This Wanda spider is a trap.
However, Chen Mo's warning was too late. Just as he spoke, the Wanda spider had already jumped onto the palm of Xiao Douding's hand.
The next moment, the place where the Wanda spider stood changed instantly. Her fair skin turned purple and black, spreading continuously until it covered her entire arm and every inch of her body.
"Finally caught."
Chi Hong looked up at Xiao Douding from a distance, a smug smile finally appeared on his face.
But she saw that Xiao Douding's entire body was now dyed in purple and black. In the next moment, she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mo rushed forward to take a look. Suddenly, his expression became tense. He immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Chi Hong's forehead, "What have you done?"
"Ha ha, what can I do? She was just too greedy. Ha ha, Wanda spider, it consumed so much of my effort and energy. Do you think you can just take it whenever you want?"
"Ha ha, that thing was indeed raised with Chen Yue's flesh as bait. But, with these myriad poisons, how could an ordinary person endure them?"
"Die, die, if she dies, her body will be mine."
Chi Hong crazily laughed, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo with a gaze devoid of fear.
"Hold on, did you say she's poisoned?"
Chen Mo opened his mouth.
Chi Hong couldn't help but pause. He saw Chen Mo's expression change from anger to indifference, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the collapsed Xiao Douding suddenly stand up, the purple and black on her body fading away, looking as if nothing had happened.
"This, this is impossible..."
Chi Hong was shocked, incredulous at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Xiao Douding opened her palm, allowing the Wanda spider to stand on it. "Little rascal, you're quite mischievous. I didn't expect you to carry so many poisons."
"However, luckily, the poison has little effect on me."
Xiao Douding looked at Chi Hong with a smile, casually putting the Wanda spider away in her chest, "Chi Hong, you didn't expect it, did you? I'm immune to poison. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. Many years ago, I was poisoned and became someone else's furnace. But later, it was my brother who saved me..."
"This, this is impossible, impossible, why is this possible, why is this happening..."
Chi Hong was shocked into a panic, shouting frantically. However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Mo's sword had already fallen...
