808 Worm 2
Su Xiaolu touched the man’s wrist. She frowned when she felt his wrist. There was no pulse.
The man was dead. His body was stiff. He had been dead for a long time.
But how was that possible? Everyone had been gathered here that night. No one had left. Nothing had happened. How had the man died?
“Dear, wake up quickly. Don’t leave us behind. Please… Doctor, you’re a doctor. Please save him—”
The woman looked at Su Xiaolu helplessly, her tear-filled eyes filled with desire.
She was hoping that Su Xiaolu could bring her good news.
This was the first victim to be seen.
Su Xiaolu immediately got someone to lie the man down so that she could do a more detailed examination.
The woman and the child watched from the side. The child seemed to be stunned and just watched in a daze.
Mantis Shrimp sniffed the man and said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, something’s wrong with him. The smell on his body is so strong, as if it exploded.”
Su Xiaolu did a thorough checkup. When she checked the man’s pupils, she saw something squirm in them.
After confirming that she was not wrong, Su Xiaolu stood up and immediately said to Wang Tianan, “Let the commoners go back to their homes. Don’t be around here. It’s already dawn.”
Wang Tianan nodded and immediately did as he was told.
The originally obedient commoners were now unwilling to leave.
They were afraid, but they watched from afar to see what was going on.
Su Xiaolu watched as the man’s skin began to bulge and roll, as if it would explode at any moment.
Without hesitation, she immediately grabbed the woman, carried the child, and flew away.
At that moment, the man’s body ruptured with a puff. Countless insects surged out of his body.
The white ants covered the man’s body and instantly consumed him.
“Darling—”
The woman let out a scream and fainted.
The child was also frightened and began to cry.
Everyone was stunned.
In just a few seconds, the man’s corpse disappeared. Not even a drop of blood was left. Even his clothes were gone. To be precise, before these ants broke through his body, there was not a drop of blood in the man’s body.
Those insects began to crawl in all directions. Everyone was so frightened that they avoided them.
The person who was alive not long ago had died in the blink of an eye. Now, there was not even a corpse.
There was a high chance that the other missing people in the town would also disappear like this. There would really be no bones left.
Realizing this, many people began to cry.
Wang Tianan ordered someone to catch some ants.
“Brother Wang, get everyone to follow these ants. The nest is the key.”
Su Xiaolu followed a portion of the termites.
When the ants dispersed, Mantis Shrimp suddenly said, “Xiaolu, follow them and find their nest.”
No matter how dispersed the ants were, they would eventually gather in a nest.
Why did these ants kill and eat people? They would know the answer when they found the nest.
These termites crawled very quickly. Their speed was completely incomparable to ordinary ants. Moreover, they were small and could be lost if they were not careful.
Su Xiaolu took out a packet of insect powder, opened it, scattered it, and continued to follow.
Outside the town, it was even harder to find traces in the sandstorm. Fortunately, she had good eyesight. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have been able to see that small thing.
After crossing two barren mountains, Su Xiaolu saw countless white lines converging towards a low-lying hole. Those dense white lines were all termites.
They gathered towards the center and disappeared in front of Su Xiaolu.
“Xiaolu, be careful. There’s something here.”
Mantis Shrimp reminded.
The water ball gathered in Su Xiaolu’s hand followed her and brought her into a safe area.
Almost instantly, several poisonous snakes rushed into the water curtain and hissed at her.
Su Xiaolu circulated her water superpower and drained all the blood from the snake’s body.
The water curtain threw out the corpses of the snakes.
Countless snakes stood up and formed an encirclement, making one’s scalp tingle.
The poisonous snakes surrounded Su Xiaolu tightly.
Su Xiaolu seemed to understand why those who went out to report could not get out. With so many poisonous snakes, no matter how good their martial arts were, it was difficult to break out. They had to have special abilities. Moreover, those with special abilities found it difficult to protect themselves.
What was instigating these snakes and insects?
Without waiting for the snakes to attack, Su Xiaolu expanded the water curtain to form several water tornadoes.
Countless snakes were swept in. Soon, the water curtain turned blood-red. Under Su Xiaolu’s control, all the snakes were separated and died.
The water tornado and water curtain disappeared, leaving only the snake corpses on the ground.
Su Xiaolu felt her scalp tingle. She walked towards the entrance of the cave in the low-lying area. She wanted to see what kind of demon was causing trouble!
“Young Master Su, Young Master Su… Wait for us.”
Wang Tianan’s shout came from behind.
Su Xiaolu looked back and stopped in her tracks.
Wang Tianan looked at Su Xiaolu with awe. They had seen it from afar just now. It was difficult not to be in awe of superpower users, and such powerful superpower users at that.
Their town was saved. This time, they could investigate everything.
Including Wang Tianan, there were more than ten of them.
Su Xiaolu waited for them to walk in before saying, “Everyone, I don’t know what’s going on inside either. If you’re not afraid, come with me. We’ll talk after I drown this hole with water.”
“Young Master Su, let’s prepare some torches.”
Wang Tianan looked around and said. No matter what kind of snake or insect it was, it was definitely afraid of fire.
Su Xiaolu nodded and instructed, “Be careful.”
Wang Tianan and the others dispersed.
Su Xiaolu raised her hands. She could feel that the mark on her chest was starting to heat up. Water began to form around her and flow in the direction she had indicated.
In a short moment, the entire hole was submerged, and there was water in the lowland.
No matter what it was, it would not like to be soaked in water. If it liked water, it would live in it.
There was no river in Mobei, but there was a lake.
“Gulp…”
The water at the entrance of the cave began to bubble, as if something was about to come out.
Su Xiaolu flew back.
Wang Tianan and the others had already made torches. They looked solemnly at the hole that was about to exit.
A black head with two yellow eyes popped out of the hole. Wang Tianan and the others gasped.
The thing twisted its body, and a section of silver-white flesh worm squeezed out.
A flesh worm thicker than 400 catties of pigs appeared in everyone’s line of sight. It was still twisting, it was unknown how long its body was.
