The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 34: Monster

Yan Jue had seen a type of bug living in streams called "Shooting Bug" while reading the "Hundred Beasts" book.

On the surface, these bugs appeared to have very low cultivation levels, but they were actually quite toxic.

Although they couldn't inflict substantial harm on intruders, they attacked the shadows of invaders by spitting water.

Yes, the shadows.

If an intruder's shadow was repeatedly attacked by these bug-infested water droplets in specific patterns, the water mixed with the bug's saliva would create a small soul-constricting formation around the intruder.

This would curse the intruder with dizziness and impaired vision.

Once they fell to the ground, the bugs would then gut them with their sharp teeth.

Watching her two senior sisters lying motionless, Yan Jue once again felt the wonders of this world.

With no time to think, she quickly summoned a glass bottle from her bag. Under the sunlight, the bottle emitted a dazzling green light, and the cork was instantly blown off!

Dozens of ghost fireflies burst forth, fluttering their wings and seemingly dancing chaotically in the sky.

Yan Jue silently recited her heart formula, waving her left hand in the air. The ghost fireflies seemed to understand her intention, immediately forming the basic "Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation" in the sky.

There was a faint crackling of electricity in the air.

The thunder and lightning generated by the Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation struck down from above, splashing countless waves on the water's surface. Numerous small silver snakes of lightning darted across the water, and the few black Shooting Bugs near Lin Xi and Ji Guiyan emitted shrill cries, flipping onto their backs within seconds.

They were dead.

Du Ming stared wide-eyed, immediately rushing over to help the fallen Lin Xi and Ji Guiyan up, and only felt relieved after they sat down several yards away from the stream.

Du Ming exclaimed, "Wow! Yan Jue, how did you do that? You really called it when you said this stream was dangerous!"

"Where did you get so many ghost fireflies? Hey, I remember you asked me about them last time. You didn't catch them back then, did you?"

"......"

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, which included Yan Jue briefly explaining what she had read about the "Shooting Bug" in the scripture repository to Du Ming, Lin Xi and Ji Guiyan finally awakened from their temporary dizziness.

Ji Guiyan opened her eyes and saw Yan Jue sitting under the tree in a worn grey Daoist robe with narrow sleeves, fiddling with her bag.

In the sunlight, the girl's long black hair was casually tied up with a simple hairpin, the rest cascading down her shoulders. Her lips were red, teeth white, and around her neck was a bright golden collar. She had captivating eyes that sparkled.

Ji Guiyan was momentarily stunned by this scene and felt a sharp pain in her temples. She quickly supported her forehead and asked, "What happened to us? I remember we went down to the stream to collect spirit stones, but where are the spirit stones?"

Du Ming hurried over to support her, saying, "Sister, be careful. You two were too deep in the soul-constricting formation. It's better to rest here for a while before standing up."

This was what Yan Jue had just asked her to convey.

Lin Xi also opened her eyes, supporting her forehead and slightly furrowing her brow.
