Chapter 080: Soul Eater

"Rituals? Who did this to you? There are only our guards and wounded soldiers in this camp......" Speaking of this, Yan Long's eyes revealed a deep fear of Lytton.

"Dark Ritual." Wu paused for a moment and began to explain: "Rituals can't kill people, and they can't pay people back, but they can affect people in specific situations, just like the discomfort you felt just now, which is the residual power of rituals. ”

Perhaps he had begun to suspect that this was a conspiracy of the Barbarian Bull Tribe, and of course Yan Long, who had never encountered witchcraft, had a kind of unbelief in evil in his heart. It's just a killing, and he needs to find the murderer, not the consequences after the death.

Wu's footsteps moved slowly around the camp, as if he were not walking on flat ground, but in a densely packed environment.

The pace is almost the same at every step, not a single point, not a little less.

In Yan Long's eyes, Wu is a trick, and the camp is full of dead people, but the only thing that makes people palpitate is that everyone's expression is the same, smiling. But other than that, there is nothing special. Neither the army nor the Yan family have ever seen dead people. So from the initial fear to the adaptation time was not long, Yanlong was very dissatisfied with Wu letting him stand on the edge of the camp, and walked into the camp without saying hello.

"Don't come here!"

Wu didn't even look in the direction of Yan Long, so he opened his mouth to stop it. In fact, he didn't need to stop it, Yanlong had a reaction, poof, poof, as if in the bottom of his heart, as if he was under the ground again. A powerful heart was beating, each time it became more and more powerful, and the stirring of the internal organs was like spinning in a whirlpool, up and down without landing.

Only then did Yan Long understand that the mystery of the Central Wasteland was not something he could subdue by reading a few biographies in the library.

Cautiously took a few steps back, and once again stood in a safe area. He was greeted by the nervousness of the butler, and the gloating face of the bull warrior.

"Boy, you know it's amazing, right? This place is very evil, and if you are so stupid and wandering, maybe you will be able to go to work with those people later. ”

Yan Long snorted coldly and stared at Li Dun: "You don't care about your subordinates, don't say anything outside, offend people, there will always be times when you can't afford to provoke them, right?" ”

Lytton thought about it very seriously, then nodded, "Really." ”

"Finally, there is someone who understands." Yan Long comforted himself in his heart, in the past two days, to be exact, since last night, the blows to him have been wave after wave, the reason why he has not begun to doubt life is because his nerves have been tense, and he has no time to think at all.

However, Lytton's subsequent words deepened his resentment towards the Savage Tribe: "They have never met anyone they can't afford to mess with, except for brutes. ”

This is true, there are too many beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests. Of course, the more powerful the beast, the greater the territory it needs. Fortunately, most of the beasts with superior strength did not regard humans as their main prey, otherwise many small tribes would have been extinct long ago. Don't look at Lei Ju standing out among the Barbarian Bull Tribe, but if he really wants to enter the depths of the forest, he really can't be arrogant.

The mouth cannon didn't make any sense, Yanlong comforted himself. The once invincible young master of the family also began to drink chicken soup, which shows how much negative emotions this wild trip brought him.

From noon until the sun was about to set, Wu Cai came out of the camp with a tired face, and took out a worm from the small jar he carried with him and showed it to Yanlong and Lydon.

Out of familiarity with Wu, the things handed over by Wu's hand, Li Dun usually needs to think about it before taking it, but Yanlong doesn't have this awareness, and the slimy insects on his palms don't feel disgusting, he stares at them very carefully, and the insects in his palms are still alive, but they move relatively slowly, and they are not easy to find if they don't look carefully. In addition, the insects are very white, chubby, and there is no trace of threat, which is a little strange, where did the little insect in the hand come from?

"This is the thing."

Wu said to Yan Long with a solemn expression: "Arrange for your people to enter the camp immediately and spark all the corpses, and ...... You can't use any food. ”

"Why? Could it be that someone poisoned it? ”

Yanlong also thought that the food in the camp had been poisoned, which made him worried. The supply has already gone back, and the next supply will be a month later, and the goshawk tribe has hoarded enough food for the winter to consume for the past two months, but suddenly said that the food cannot be used, and Yanlong is not in a hurry, which is false.

Wu drooped his eyelids and stared at the insect in Yanlong's hand for a long time before he spoke: "In the grain warehouse of the Goshawk Tribe, all the food has eggs of this kind of bug, once you eat any contaminated food, this kind of worm will naturally lurk in your body. ”

Ignoring Yan Long Tieqing's face at all, Wu continued: "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, if this insect is not induced by external factors, it will be in a dormant state in your body, and it will not run around." There will be at least three or four years of incubation, and before that, you will eat, sleep, and pass on your family line like normal people. ”

What does it mean not to run around.

Even if he sleeps a lot every day, Yanlong can't bear it!

A good body broke into an outsider, or such a disgusting bug, Yan Long felt the slippery and greasy mucus in his hand, his scalp was numb for a while, he hurriedly shook off the worm in his hand, grabbed Wu's arm in horror, and said nervously: "Is this true?" ”

"Of course, don't delay normal life." Wu replied very seriously.

Yanlong has a kind of tyranny that wants to tear apart everything around him, he asks the lineage, eats and sleeps, is it for these things that people live?

"And then?" Yan Long asked.

Wu glanced back at the tragic situation in the camp, and then hesitated: "Same as them." ”

"Are you saying that those who died were not killed at all, but eaten by bugs? But how did such a big wound come about? Are these bugs going to get bigger? The anger on Yan Long's face was not fake, but really moved the liver fire. He felt that he had been deceived, and it was this shriveled tribal wizard in front of him who had deceived him, and the other party's natural answer made him feel ridiculous and ridiculous, and even had an urge to debunk the other party.

Wu's eyes were filled with infinite pity, as if he were looking at a fool: "I didn't say that these people's hearts were eaten by worms. The wound in the chest was cut with a knife, which was easy to identify. ”

"What's that?"

"It's the brain." At this time, Wu seemed cold, full of a high sense of superiority, he was the authority, the authority of the savage and mysterious realm, at least there was no problem in pretending to be in front of the fire demon, not to mention, the clues he found were all true, none of them were fake: "This is the Soul Eater Worm, in the Savage Codex, the human soul is in the brain, since this kind of insect is called the Soul Eater Worm, it naturally lives on the head of the person." What better place to be more nutritious than the brain? ”

It was difficult for Yanlong to refute, but when he thought of a worm in his head, he couldn't help but swing.

"Then the slimy ...... just now" Yan Long's face turned pale the moment he asked, and he wanted to chop off his hand.

Wu gave an affirmative nod, which seemed to be comforting, but it was of no help to Yan Long's deathly eyes.

He pulled his cronies and ordered with a dark face: "Go and break the heads of all the dead." ”

"This ......" cronies are a little hesitant, the dead are the greatest, and it doesn't matter if the people of the goshawk tribe are there, but there are many people from the city defense army!

If the rest of the city guards saw him behead their dead brothers, wouldn't they rebel?

Yanlong said tyrannyly: "If you want to go, what are you going to do?" ”

"Young master, if you don't let the city defense army prepare for tonight's camp, it won't be available here anyway."

Yan Long was shocked to realize that he had almost made a big mistake, and nodded and said, "Let the housekeeper arrange it, and you take the people of the Yan family to do what I instruct." The bodies were burned immediately after confirmation, and no one from the city defense was allowed to approach the camp until they had been completely burned to ashes. ”

Yan Long had a dead fish-like look on his face, and this guy finally stopped having a lively expression. It makes the warrior of the wild bull very happy, this guy always pretends to be the second ancestor with a stinky fart. Of course, he is the second ancestor, but for Lei Ju and them, it is uncomfortable to look at this face, and they can't help but want to draw their fists. When Wu and Yanlong were talking, they were also on the side, and when Yanlong hurriedly went to verify, Lei Ju gloated and asked Wu: "Uncle, these fire demons are going to die, why don't we go back too, they can't toss up anyway." ”

Even Lytton agreed, "Originally, I wanted to enter the megalithic ruins out of curiosity. But now I have found out that I am afraid that the ruins are much more dangerous than I thought, so it is better to go back to the tribe and think about it first. Anyway, where the ruins are, I won't run. ”

Everything Lytton said was sincere, and he had begun to hold back. Of course, it's not that he's afraid, but he doesn't allow himself to make mistakes, and on some issues, mistakes don't cause big trouble, and even if you keep making mistakes, it doesn't matter if you make the same mistakes. But when it comes to matters related to one's own life, once you make a mistake, you will never have a chance to do it again. Lytton must not be careless.

But Wu said with a dark face: "No, we will also enter the ruins." The answer to the fire demon is in the ruins, so let's help them find it. ”

"Uncle, are you stupid, the fire demons are not here to trade with the goshawk tribe, they are here to kill! Why should we help them for no reason? Lei Ju felt that this was very much in line with the interests of the Barbarian Bull tribe, and immediately objected.

Wu was unmoved, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Because we have also been recruited." ”

"This ...... Impossible, we haven't eaten the food of the goshawk tribe at all, how can we be tricked? Lei Ju was startled, don't look at him five big and three thick, but there is still an inexplicable fear of the unknown creatures that can drill into people's brains.

Wu Chang sighed: "Where did I think that there are also insect eggs in the water source, isn't the place where we took water yesterday the water point of the camp in Paektu Mountain?" So...... To save them is to save ourselves. ”
