Feeling no pain whatsoever, Li Huowang stared at the enormous vertical pupil before him without the slightest hesitation.
He immediately hoisted his own paralyzed body from the ground onto his shoulder, then rushed to Zhuge Yuan's side, picked him up as well, and bolted backward.
This place was simply too dangerous, not somewhere a mere mortal should linger. He had to get Zhuge Yuan out of here!

From Li Huowang's gaping chest cavity, writhing tentacles erupted wildly. They wrapped around his legs, desperately helping him inch forward.
As he moved forward, inch by inch, the maggots swarming his body died off rapidly, as if struggling against some invisible force.
