With the crisp sound of a slap, Shan Hu's face was half red!

After rubbing his numb cheek, a look of utter disbelief washed over Shan Hu as he muttered to himself, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The Gu Insect I've cultivated is known for its speed. It can't possibly be caught so easily, absolutely not!"

The throbbing pain on his cheek made him realize that everything before his eyes was real!

But even so, he still refused to believe it!

Because he knew that even if he tried to catch these swift Gu Insects, it would be extremely difficult...

So everything happening now must be fake...

...

Seeing Shan Hu stand there dumbfounded, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the captured Gu Insect and mocked lightly, "If this is the only trick you have, then don't show off in front of me! It's boring!"

After such mockery, Hu Xiaobei looked at the Gu Insect firmly caught in his hand and started to apply pressure, preparing to crush it...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's cold taunts, Shan Hu's eyelids twitched fiercely!

At this moment, he felt as if Hu Xiaobei had swollen his face...

From childhood to now, he had never been so scorned, and at this moment, he truly wished he could just find a hole to crawl into!

Drawing a deep breath filled with resentment, he sternly looked towards the Gu Insect in Hu Xiaobei's hands...

At that time, he noticed Hu Xiaobei seemed intent on crushing it to death...

Pausing for just a second, Shan Hu burst into manic laughter, "You fool, you actually think you can crush it with your hands? Dream on! That Gu Insect was meticulously cultivated by me. Even if you exert all your strength, it's absolutely impossible for you to harm it the slightest bit!"

Shan Hu was brimming with confidence!

Because he had been painstakingly cultivating these Gu Insects from a young age!

He knew how robust they were, so thinking of crushing them was simply impossible!

Hearing Shan Hu's jeers, Hu Xiaobei didn't respond but continued to exert force...

"Idiot, our wizard has already spoken, do you think he'd deceive you?"

"Exactly!"

"Why are you even still trying?"

Watching Hu Xiaobei continue his attempt, those from the Shanwu Tribe jeered madly...

They had seen these Gu Insects wreak havoc before and thus did not believe Hu Xiaobei could crush them...

"Mommy, can Big Brother Xiaobei really crush the Gu Insect?"

As the people of the Shanwu Tribe mocked Hu Xiaobei, Xue Lianlian watched Xueyao with nervous anticipation.

She was very anxious at the moment because she was worried Hu Xiaobei would be embarrassed!

Hearing Xue Lianlian's anxious question, Xueyao patted her little head and said, "Don't worry, Lian'er, your Big Brother Xiaobei is super amazing. He will definitely succeed."

"Mhm!"

In response, Xue Lianlian nodded vigorously...

Soon, she returned her focus to Hu Xiaobei...

"I hope Xiaobei can truly keep making miracles happen!"

As Xue Lianlian turned her head, Xueyao muttered somewhat worriedly...

She had clashed with Shan Hu before and knew how terrifying his Gu Insects were, so she couldn't help feeling concerned at the moment...

"Huh? This Gu Insect really is quite tough!"

Hu Xiaobei was slightly surprised!

At that moment, although Hu Xiaobei had not used the Nine Wood True Qi, he had exercised a great deal of strength.

Yet, it hadn't suffered any damage...

...

"He can't do it, he really can't harm my Gu Insect, the idiot!" Experiencing a surge of relief, Shan Hu thoroughly calmed down.

Just now, when Hu Xiaobei had nonchalantly exerted his strength, Shan Hu had felt uneasy, worried that his Gu Insect would actually be killed!

But now, he knew all his worries were redundant as Hu Xiaobei simply didn't have the capability.

Thinking so, he began to jeer wildly...

"You fool, didn't I tell you before? This Gu Insect was meticulously cultivated by me. Not just you, even an Immortal wouldn't be able to crush it."

"That's right!"

"Quickly kneel and apologize to our wizard!"

"Yes, or your death will be most miserable!"

After Shan Hu's bluster, the people of the Shanwu Tribe were quick to back him up!

Before, Hu Xiaobei had easily captured Shan Hu's Gu Insect, startling them all.

But now, knowing that Hu Xiaobei couldn't do anything to the Gu Insect, they relaxed.

Hearing Shan Hu and the others' crazed shouts, the people of the Xuefeng Tribe sighed.

They knew that if Hu Xiaobei couldn't kill these Gu Insects, there was no chance of winning...

Hearing such mockery, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them indifferently and said, "I'm a bit curious, which is tougher—the insect or your mouths!"

Having said this, Hu Xiaobei hesitated not a moment longer to operate the Nine Wood True Qi!

After it began to flow, Hu Xiaobei exerted force once more.

In an instant, everyone saw the black Gu Insect that Hu Xiaobei was holding begin to struggle rapidly.

"This..."

Seeing it start to frantically struggle, the people of the Xuefeng Tribe's eyes lit up...

And the faces of the people of the Shanwu Tribe looked extremely ugly, especially that previously arrogant Shan Hu!

He could distinctly feel his Gu Insect crying out to him for help...

...

With his face drastically changing, he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

"Wizard!"

As Shan Hu's blood spurted wildly, all the people of the Shanwu Tribe were shocked...

Quickly, they all gathered around him!

"Are you all right!"

"Yeah!"

"Don't scare us!"

Seeing his face as pale as paper, they asked in a panicked cacophony.

Shan Hu heard them speak up, but he gave no answer.

He was now staring blankly at the crushed black Gu Insect that Hu Xiaobei had tossed aside.

Dead!

He shared telepathy with that Gu Insect, so he knew that it was completely dead...

"Twenty years, I cultivated that Gu Insect for twenty years, and now he has killed it! I'll kill him, I'll tear him to pieces!"

As he growled in fury, Shan Hu's gaze became more and more terrible.

For twenty years, he had taken meticulous care of that Gu Insect...

This long companionship made Shan Hu regard it as his own kin...

Now, it had been killed by Hu Xiaobei, and he utterly wanted to hack Hu Xiaobei into a thousand pieces...

"Oh dear, it looks like you're angry!"

Watching his expression turn ugly, Hu Xiaobei stepped forward with a cold sneer and continued, "Right now, I've only destroyed one of your ordinary Gu Insects, and you're already wanting to kill me. Have you ever thought about when you killed my Auntie Xueyao's main insect?"

Hu Xiaobei knew that Gu Insects were divided into main insects and ordinary insects!

Compared to ordinary insects, main insects were much more precious...

Before, it was Shan Hu who killed Xueyao's main insect, causing her to suffer severe injuries...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's reprimand, Shan Hu sneered and said, "Can you blame me for that? She was simply no match for me."

"No match for you? You mean that you used every dirty trick in the book!"

Detecting the sarcasm in Hu Xiaobei's voice, Shan Hu was unfazed, "Haha, what's wrong with using every dirty trick? Nobody cares about the process, everyone cares about the result."

"Heh, you really are full of twisted logic! Now, I'm granting you the right to use every dirty trick, you can attack me using any means."

"You..."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Shan Hu's mouth twitched madly for a long moment!

Seeing that he dared not respond, Hu Xiaobei sneered, "What's wrong? Too scared to act? Weren't you acting tough just a moment ago?"

Glaring at Hu Xiaobei with a dark expression, he suddenly turned his cold gaze to Xueyao and said, "Xueyao, you know the rules of Miaojiang. By calling an outsider to help you, you're practically begging for death!"

On hearing this, Xueyao's face subtly changed!

She knew that Hu Xiaobei indeed did not belong to their tribe, so strictly speaking, she was indeed breaking the rules!

Seeing the slight shift in Xueyao's expression, Hu Xiaobei sneered and said, "Rules? I wonder, as a witch, when you suddenly attacked a commoner before, did that not break the rules?"
