Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2420

Zhu Duqing was anxious. “If I use it again, I will be pretty much redundant. I would probably not even be able to run!”

Di Fuyi smashed a boulder nearby into pieces. “It doesn’t matter. If you can’t run, I will order someone to carry you. Guardian Jin…”

Guardian Jin immediately stood beside Zhu Duqing. “Mr. Zhu, rest assured. I will definitely carry you, and I will not leave you behind.”

Zhu Duqing was speechless. He had no choice but to agree with it. He raised his hand to cast a spell, and finally, the magical door was opened. “Quick! Quick! I can’t hold it for long.” Di Fuyi grabbed Gu Xijiu and quickly jumped in. The two guards then followed them in.

Zhu Duqing seemed to think of something all of a sudden. He smacked his head. “Gosh! I should have asked them to enter at the same time! We are going to be in trouble!” Seeing that the entire hole was going to collapse, Zhu Duqing did not dare to delay his escape any longer and also jumped in.

…

There were large meteorites in the sky that were on fire and headed for the ground. As the hit the land on such high impact, the entire place shook and cracked all over. There was also magma in between the cracks that swallowed everything that passed by.

The beasts in the poisonous swamp were running aimlessly as they did not know where to go. Some of them fell into the magma while others perished from the fireballs that crashed onto them. The scene certainly resembled an apocalypse. The fierce beasts that attacked them before could not do anything in the face of the natural disaster.

When Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi jumped through the door, they found themselves still in the poisonous swamp again. It was just as good as walking out of the cave!

“This guy is completely unreliable! “Gu Xijiu was disappointed. She looked around and asked Di Fuyi, “Why haven’t the others reached yet?” There were only two of them there.

Di Fuyi pulled her along with him as he avoided the falling destructive fireballs. “The magical door that Zhu Duqing controls is very strange. Not every one that jumps through the door will go to the same place. When he offended me in the past, I chased after him to the point where he had to open one of his doors. I followed him into one as he fled but ended up in a different place. I think it is the same this time. I thought he was able to control it before and intentionally sent me somewhere else. It seems I was mistaken.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless for a moment. She could not believe that her apprentice had done something so stupid. “Does that mean that all of us are in different places? Such an unreliable bamboo man!”

“He is certainly not someone you can count on. You picked up this apprentice rather hastily. When we meet him again, you should drop him from your apprenticeship. And, when you are ready for a new disciple, I will help you to examine the person and make sure that he or she will satisfy you.

Di Fuyi took the opportunity to make demands and let off steam about Zhu Duqing. He had not been impressed by the man. Since he got close to Gu Xijiu, he had always wanted to leave him behind somewhere.

Gu Xijiu did not respond to Di Fuyi’s complaints. Instead, she chose to focus her attention on their surroundings. The poisonous air around them was still very potent. Fortunately, the clothes that Di Fuyi had given Gu Xijiu were very good at blocking out any unwanted particles from the air. Moreover, Di Fuyi had set up a protective barrier around them so that the poisonous atmosphere would not harm them.

Due to the calamity of the situation, they did not know their exact location and did not know which direction to go. Flying was probably their best option. As expected, they encountered all kinds of beasts, but since everyone was simply trying to escape, they did not have time to attack and hurt each other. It was such a rare sight.

In the midst of finding their way out, Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu took out their directed audio spells and tried to contact the two guards as well as Zhu Duqing, but they could not be contacted. Perhaps, the poisonous swamp had indirectly blocked their signal.
