"So he really is a dwarf." Xu Dazhi laughed.

To be able to run into a dwarf that looked more or less like a human and was speaking to them, everyone's highly nervous hearts immediately relaxed.

"So what if you're a dwarf? Even though you are tall and fat and look like a big bear, I will still beat you until all your teeth fall out. " The dwarf lifted his head and glared at Xu Dazhi, who was taller than him.

Xu Dajun laughed out loud and shook the sledgehammer in his hand. "Look at your size. It's not even as big as my hammers. You might be able to withstand one of my hammers."

The dwarf cried out in excitement as he rolled to the ground and landed in front of Xu Dazhi's feet. With two palm strikes, he sent them flying towards Xu Dazhi's legs. Xu Dazhi hurriedly retreated. The Dwarf's technique was extremely strange as he closely followed. Xu Dazhi's hands and feet were in a complete mess from the blow.

All of a sudden, his face was covered in sweat. He wanted to use his hammer to smash his opponent, but after a few hits, he managed to smash a few holes in the ground, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the dwarf's clothes.

Actually, everyone could see that the dwarf was not using his full strength. It was as if he was playing with Xu Dazhi. He reached out and grabbed Xu Dazhi's ankle.

With a sound, he fell to the ground. He was so angry that he started rolling. He threw another hammer at the dwarf, and his opponent easily dodged it. Then he rolled away and walked behind Xu Dazhi. He stomped on Xu Dazhi's head and bit his lips.

The dwarf clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, this is too fun, too fun! What do you think? Do you still want to fight?"

Shen Hong stood at the side and did not make a move. She also felt that it was strange that there should be no one in this underground castle, even if there were people here, they were the 20 plus people that had descended. The Dwarf in front of them was clearly a person. Furthermore, his martial arts were so powerful. When he was fighting with Xu Dazhi, Shen Hong had seen his moves. His skills were unique and his inner force was profound. Xu Dazhi was simply not his match.

As long as he isn't a member of the Earth Devil, how did he get here?" Shen Hong thought for a while and decided to test the waters. While the dwarf was not paying attention, she threw out a silver needle and it flew straight towards him. The dwarf opened his mouth and actually took the needle, and upon seeing it, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Hundred Blossom Silver Needles? "Pei pei pei, you wife, your heart is too vicious. You actually used the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles to assassinate this scholar, don't you know that this thing is extremely poisonous?" The moment the dwarf finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a groan.

Upon seeing this, Xu Dazhi ran over and raised his sledgehammer. Just as he was about to smash it down, he was stopped by Shen Hong.

"Chief, this little thing is too powerful. Why don't we just eliminate it?"

"Now is not the time. This person might be of use to us."

"What use is it? This kid is too crafty. Even my heroic name as Xu Dazhi has been ruined by him."

"Then you can only blame yourself for your inferior skills."

"I …"

"I what?" Shen Hong glared at Xu Dazhi. "Bring a rope and tie him up. I want to ask him a few things."

It was quiet downstairs, Meng Xiaodie was nowhere to be seen. Shen Hong was a little worried, so she said, "We shouldn't stay here for long. Meng Xiaodie is still down there, let's go down and check on the situation."

When they arrived at the second floor, the coffin was still in the middle of the room. They had originally planned to go around the coffin, down to the first floor, but just as they arrived at the stairs, the coffin suddenly exploded and countless bugs crawled out from it. These bugs were the adult corpse insects with wings on their pictures, golden claws, golden wings shining with a golden light, and especially those three fangs, they looked extremely sharp. Everyone had seen how powerful that larva was. Right now, there were hundreds or thousands of adults, so it was unknown how many times stronger they were than that larva.

Although they had wings, they couldn't fly, so their crawling speed was very fast. They quickly surrounded them and in a blink of an eye, they climbed up to everyone's feet, they ran towards the stairs, and the stairs were also full of them. Shen Hong understood that once they were bitten by these worms, they would die without a complete corpse.

Although more than ten of them had died, it was useless. At this time, Xu Dazhi showed his might, with Green Eye Monsters on his back, he continued to wave his sledgehammer, killing a large number of them with a single strike. However, more and more Gold Shell Corpse Worms rushed up and climbed into their legs, their sharp beaks piercing into their skin.

The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, and two people could no longer hold on. Just as they were about to collapse to the ground, three people suddenly appeared, a torch in one hand and an oil drum in the other, poured the oil into the pile of insects and threw it into the fire, which immediately set it ablaze. At that moment, a large portion of the beetles were burned to death.

One of them, holding a sword, rushed over and helped Shen Hong up. He then jumped down the stairs and returned to the first floor. The others also followed suit.

The person holding the sword was Meng Xiaodie, and the other two were Wei Ke and the ghost head.

This time, all six of them were heavily injured, and their bodies were full of bloody wounds. Even the green-eyed monster on Xu Dazhi's back was bitten all over, and they were lying on the ground, almost unconscious. Although Shen Hong was injured, he was still conscious. She saw black blood oozing out of the wound and knew that the Golden-Shelled Corpse Worm was poisonous. She let Wei Ke take out the medicinal oil, wash and disinfect every wound, then applied the medicinal powder and bandaged it. However, even after half a day of effort, Shen Hong still wasn't able to revive Officer Kong. Guan Kong died so miserably that Shen Hong couldn't bear to take another look. He let Xu Dazhi and Wei Ke carry the corpse to the corner of the wall and pour oil on it to burn it.

The lobby of the first floor was in a mess. There was blood everywhere, including dead insects and scattered coffin boards. Broken green corpses were nailed to the walls one after another.

But from the looks of it, the surroundings were very calm. It was the calm after a fierce battle.

Although they had lost one of their men, they were all safe and sound.

"Meng Xiaodie, you're flattering me this time." Shen Hong looked gratefully at Meng Xiaodie before asking again.

Wei Ke and Wang Yimu asked, "Why are the two of you here?"

"Praise them for coming over in time and burning those silkworms to death. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to deal with so many bugs by myself." Meng Xiaodie said.

Wei Ke smiled complacently. He was anxious to show off his skills in front of Shen Hong, so he said excitedly, "I knew that the situation you guys are in isn't looking good. As expected, it has come in handy.
