A small patch of darkness that had formed seconds before was repaired by a melting human-faced worm.

The dark fragments spread forward again, carrying Lu Li onward.

As he moved away from the neck area of the Old Mother's shell, the twisty, winding blood vessels became steeper. Sometimes Lu Li had to use both hands to feel the icy dark fragments as he climbed upwards.

The number of human-faced worms he encountered was gradually increasing. Sometimes they appeared in groups, forcing Lu Li to retreat into other blood vessels and wait for the human-faced bug swarm to drift past.

Meanwhile, the naturally occurring dark fragments disappeared after passing through the neck, leaving only the areas marked by the dark fragments known to the Mother of the Marsh for Lu Li to traverse.

Everything indicated that this place was under the complete control of the Old Mother.

The good news was that no change had occurred, which meant that Lu Li had not been discovered.
