Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

d people that followed, so he did not wish for a mishap to befall them.

But what happened tonight?

Ye Mu looked at the large hole before her.
“It seems the poisonous gas inside has been released, but I can't be certain.
Also, it's strange, how could this treasure keep having holes? Normally it shouldn't.”

Mo Linyuan said, “In any case, wait until tomorrow to talk about everything.
Tonight, let's rest a bit further away in case something happens to it.”

Ye Mu nodded.

At this moment, those who fainted had been dragged to a drafty place.
The remaining dozen people took turns to guard.
Tonight, they did not pitch a tent and instead slept directly on the grass.
Ye Mu lay in Mo Linyuan's embrace.
Despite having shut her eyes, she still could not fall asleep.

“I thought the trap on the other side was already very dangerous, I didn't expect this place to also have so many traps.
We haven't gone down and people are already harmed, it makes me uneasy.”

Mo Linyuan reassured her, “If you're scared, we won't go down tomorrow.
We'll wait above and see the outcome.”

Ye Mu shook her head.
“Forget it, let's wait together.
Don't we have people who were sent in advance? Now that Wen Feng has informed them, we'll wait patiently.
The more people, the greater power.
Until then, there are many things to take care of.
Only, we're very deep into the hinterland, we don't know how many days we should wait until they come.”

Mo Linyuan nodded as he hugged her.
“In any case, the situation is amiss.
We'll just withdraw and wait for a few days, the army must already be on the way.
Anyway, it's easy to demolish it.”

Only when Ye Mu heard such words from him, did she nod feeling at ease.

The forest at night was very quiet.
There was a rustling noise occasionally, but it quickly disappeared.

At this moment, Ye Mu's internal energy had almost recovered, so her hearing was more acute than other people.
She suddenly furrowed her eyebrows, and then abruptly opened her eyes!

“Not good!”

Once she woke up, Mo Linyuan also woke up.
The rest of the troops were still clueless, only when Ye Mu cautioned them did they know what had happened.

“Fall back, all of you carefully look under your feet!”

They quickly looked down.
The sky was too dark, the ground was all grass.
Nothing could actually be seen.
Only until those things were in close proximity, someone cried out in alarm, “It's worms! So many worms!”

A mass of centipedes pressed on toward their direction.
Fortunately, Ye Mu warned them early.
They kept retreating.
At the moment, no one had been bitten.

“These worms are really strange, shouldn't they be afraid of people and light? How could they keep coming to our direction?!”

Ye Mu also did not understand.
It was Mo Linyuan who said, “I've read from an ancient book, if these worms are specially trained, they can indulge in the exact opposite of their natural instincts, such as light and warmth.”

Ye Mu pondered.
After retreating a few steps back, she threw a luminous pearl.
Those worms did not bother about the object at all, and still crawled toward them.

Ye Mu frowned.
“They're not scared of light.
Or maybe, not scared of this cold light.”

Then, they retreated as they experimented.
Ye Mu threw a fire over.
This time, these worms reacted, they unexpectedly liked fire so much, they shrouded the fire in an instant.
What was terrifying was, even though the air was filled with the smell of worms being burned, they were not in the least fearful, like moths hurtling into flame*, persistently advancing toward these heat sources.
