The small town of Morea suffered a fire that burned for two days before it was extinguished by heavy rain.

The insects that had been entrenched in the small town of Moorea were scorched by the fire and lay on the ground with an unpleasant stench.

This smell is like the smell of an electric mosquito swatting a mosquito and the mosquito being scorched.

Four surviving teenagers and girls quietly returned to the town after the fire was extinguished, and the first boy was named Xiao, who was brought to the town by a blonde man, but was abandoned on the side of the road outside the city.

At first, the fat chef who opened a restaurant in the town adopted him, but when he was three years old, the chef died of a strange disease, so he grew up eating Baijia rice after he was three years old.

His greatest ambition is to become a sheriff and repay the good Samaritans of the town.

But that's a thing of the past.

Because the town of Morea was destroyed when it was attacked by the worms, the fire the day before yesterday made this little-known town completely in ruins.

"Brother Xiao, look over there!"

At this time, the girl who followed behind the owl whispered.

The owl immediately followed the girl's finger and saw that the corpse of a worm man not far away was slightly cracked, and a baby-like arm came out of it.

Where exactly the wormmen came from, no one knows.

They resemble a human, with a head similar to that of a bee, a seemingly fluffy but highly defensive mane on the underside of their neck, and a thin but very strong crust protecting their body.

A week ago, the Bugmen attacked the small town of Moorea, and several of the town's brave magistrates and hunters bravely fought the Bugmen, but they didn't even survive a round, and all of them were choked off by the Bugmen and thrown on the ground like garbage.

"Let's go together!"

The owl knew very well how strong the insect man was, so he immediately let out a low cry and rushed towards the torn corpse with a dagger in hand.

The dagger easily pierced the corpse and pierced into the insect man's body, a stream of green liquid suddenly flowed out, and he immediately pulled out the dagger and stabbed the insect man again, but the insect man instinctively grabbed the dagger with his hand.

Because the newborn shell had not yet hardened, the dagger sliced into the wormman's finger little by little, but the resistance increased.

Obviously, over time, the shell of the wormman will get harder and harder.

At this time, several other teenagers approached, some picked up stones and threw them at the insect man, some held sticks and kept beating, and finally Xiao Ming at the back used a hammer to crack the shell on the insect man's arm, and a large amount of liquid sprayed out, so that the insect man could not catch the dagger.

The owl pulled out the dagger from the insect man's hand, and then stabbed the insect man's body dozens of times, and the insect man's hand hung down weakly.

Several teenagers were panting and bewildered, and it took a while for the owl to reach out and peel open the charred shell, which was a monster with a human head and a body like a worm.

"Gross!"

When Xiao Ming saw this scene, he immediately turned around and vomited.

In fact, the number of bugmen in the town is not much, and most of the bugmen leave with their corpses after killing the people in the town, leaving only a small number of bugmen lurking in the town, specifically targeting the past traders.

The place where they were hiding was not far from the town, and they had been quietly observing the situation in the town, so they came back after the fire to find out the situation.

"There are other wormmen, hurry!" Owl also felt uncomfortable, but reacted quickly, and immediately realized that this worm was not burned to death, and the other wormmen were probably alive as well.

A few people immediately trotted up, and when they found the worm, they pounced and stabbed them.

However, most of the wormmen are actually dead, and only a few have the ability to molt and be reborn, but they were stabbed to death one by one before they could recover.

"Haha, we killed all the wormmen. ”

After finishing their work, several teenagers and girls sat on the edge of the ruins, and a teenager who did not deserve a name couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Ming also clenched the hammer in his hand and said firmly: "All the worms have been killed, let's rebuild Morea together, as long as we are alive, Morea will not disappear!"

"I refuse!" said the owl as he looked down at the blood on the ground.

Xiao Ming was puzzled: "Why?"

"Even if we rebuild Morea, what about the next time we encounter the Bugmen?" Aunt Taylor, Aunt Scarlett, Grandma Angelina...... They were killed and abducted by the insects, so that's it?" Xiao looked up at Xiao Ming and asked seriously.

Xiao Ming was silent, gradually clenched the hammer, and said unwillingly: "Even Uncle Brad, Uncle Robert Jr., and Uncle Depp are not the opponents of the worms, what can we do?"

The three men he mentioned were all first-class fighters in the town, and even single-handedly hunted the three-eyed tiger beasts in the mountains when they were young.

But when the three of them faced the worm man, they didn't even have the strength to resist, and they were all easily choked off by the worm man and died, as simple as people choking the neck of a chicken.

The owl also knew that it was impossible for him to defeat the wormmen, even the wormmen who had just been seriously injured, he alone would be dead, let alone those completely healthy wormmen.

But he is not reconciled, is it just that?

He had no relatives, and Uncle Brad in town taught him how to hunt, Uncle Robert Jr. taught him how to make a good dagger, Aunt Taylor taught him to read words, and Aunt Scarlett taught him to cook.

In his heart, these people are his relatives.

In an instant, he made a decision in his heart, and said, "In this way, let's separate, I will go and find a way to avenge Aunt Taylor and them, whether you want to rebuild the town, or go to your relatives." ”

"You're looking for death!" Xiao Ming immediately said loudly.

Xiao stood up, looked at Xiao Ming and said seriously: "Since the fire can burn the insects, at least I know that the fire can deal with them, isn't it?"

In fact, the origin of the fire in the town is unknown, and it ignited the entire town almost instantly, so the insects did not escape, but how this fire came about, they did not know.

"Brother Xiao, do you really want to leave?" the girl asked, standing up.

The owl's eyes suddenly softened a lot, and he looked at the girl and replied: "Suo, we must find a way to deal with the insects, otherwise even if we rebuild the town of Morea a hundred times, it may be destroyed a hundred times, and someone must do this." ”

"Shall I go with me?" asked reluctantly.

Xiao shook his head and refused solemnly: "No, this matter is too dangerous, Xiao Ming, tomorrow you will take Suo to Kaot Town, and Suo's uncle is there." ”

"No, I'm not going. "Suo grabbed the owl's hand and didn't let go.

Xiao said solemnly: "Don't be willful, if you are found by the worms, do you know how miserable the end will be?

"But I don't want to leave you. Su said aggrievedly.

She is the daughter of the fat chef who adopted the owl at the beginning, and after the fat chef died, she was dependent on her mother, but when she was nine years old, her mother suddenly fell ill.

At that time, she had no master, and she didn't know what to do at all, so she came to help with a smile all day long, and finally her mother died because she was taking care of her, comforting her, and helping her deal with all kinds of things she didn't understand.

Later, she became the owl's fart and never separated.

But this time, Xiao was obviously determined to get rid of her, she could feel it, Xiao was very serious this time, and it was different from the angry words he said in the past when he was angry and quarreled.

But she didn't want to leave the owl, only by following the owl could she feel safe.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Brother Xiao, do you remember the last time Uncle Thomas came over?"

"Thomas is a jerk, but at least he's safe there. "I thought I was talking about Thomas's character.

In fact, Sao's uncle Thomas came to visit after he knew that Suo's father had died, but the other party was quite a bastard, and all he thought about was money, if it wasn't for the people in the town to stop him from doing anything wrong, I'm afraid that Sao's restaurant would have been sold.

"No, in fact, one night Uncle Thomas stayed overnight, I didn't sleep, and I heard footsteps in the hallway, so I eavesdropped, and Uncle Thomas said that we had a big secret in our house. Suo said with a serious face.

Xiao Ming's young heart immediately widened his eyes and guessed: "Could it be that there is a big treasure hidden in the family?"

"What's the big secret?" Xiao glanced at Xiao Ming, then looked at Su and asked.

"I don't know, I was also curious at the time, but Uncle Thomas seemed to be getting more and more angry after a few days, and he quarreled with Aunt Marilyn and left." ”

"Xiao, even if you want to leave, you are not in a hurry, it is better to go to the Suo family first, in case there is really a big treasure, you also have the funds to buy better equipment, do you want to deal with the insect man with your bare hands?" said the young man who did not deserve to have a name.

The owl was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

He only has a dagger on his body as a weapon, and it doesn't have any effect at all when he really encounters the worms, and if he has enough money, he may not be able to create a weapon specifically to deal with the worms.

So, the four of them walked towards Sa's home.

Suo's home is actually behind the restaurant, and the restaurant, house, and kitchen form a triple courtyard, and there is a well in the middle of the compound.

However, at this time, Suo's home was also completely destroyed by the fire, leaving only dark ruins.

The four of them walked into the compound, and then began to search, in fact, they didn't know what to look for, anyway, just rummage through it first.

Most of the buildings in the town of Morea are wooden structures, all of which were charred under the fire, and only some metal objects remained.

The owl rummaged through a kitchen knife, an iron pot, and then an iron rod.

He took the items to the compound and left them down, then went into the ruins to continue rummaging, but found nothing resembling a treasure chest.

The four rummaged through for an afternoon, but there was no treasure at all except pots and pans.

"Could it have been burned?"

The four of them sat under a tree outside the compound and said uncertainly.

Xiao shook his head and said: "It's impossible, if it's a treasure, it must be something like gold coins, even if it is burned, it won't disappear." ”

"In other words, there is actually no treasure?" Xiao Ming guessed.

Xiao looked at the well and said, "We still haven't looked for a place. ”

"You mean it's underground?" Xiao Ming immediately reacted, looked at Xiao Xiao and asked.

Xiao nodded and said, "There is this possibility, otherwise we can only dig three feet into the ground to determine whether the treasure exists." ”

It was already certain that there was no treasure in the ruins of the building, and they had only two choices, one was to give up, and the other was to make a reasonable guess based on the premise that the treasure did exist.

Wells, land under houses, are objects of suspicion.
