Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tragedy in the Rich Quarter of Oster Capital (9).
Although it was already approaching evening, the sunset in mid-air had not yet fully sunk, and the golden afterglow sprinkled the entire capital of Oster, but the streets of the capital were always deserted, except for pedestrians hurrying by, as if they were hiding something.
Adjacent to the aristocratic area of the residential area, in front of each villa are covered with more than a dozen heavily armed mercenaries, they are all hired by the nobles and chiefs for a lot of money, these mercenaries are of course not afraid of those homeless people who will blow themselves up, in their opinion, this job is too easy, standing can make money, this is much easier than hunting monsters in the deep mountains and old forests, they are lazy or leaning on the stone pillars, or sitting on the stone steps, chatting in twos and threes, as long as it is over tonight, hundreds of gold coins will be in hand.
At this time, the gradually dissipating afterglow in the sky had been slowly swallowed up by the darkness, as if a pair of invisible giant hands had pulled up the black cloth covering the sky, covering the entire sky, no! to be precise, the sky of the aristocratic region had been obscured, and looking at the rest of the Oster capital in the distance, it was still covered by the afterglow.
The darkness gradually spread in the aristocratic area, they became thicker and thicker, as if they would condense in the next second, although there were magical lights in the rich area all year round, but at this time these faint lights seemed to have curled up into the wick, and for a time the entire rich area fell into darkness for a long time.
Soon the mercenaries who were guarding noticed something strange in the sky, and they looked up at the black clouds that kept rolling in the air, and even if they exhausted their eyes, they could not see what was churning in the clouds, and a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts. At the moment when all the light sources in the rich area became dim, a murmuring sound sounded from all around, it was a feeling that could not be described in words, this strange sound continued to sound, but the mercenaries could not judge where the sound came from, they waved helplessly in the dark.
The strange sound constantly tormented everyone in the rich area, and this strange sound was like a thousand insects wriggling on their bodies, making people itch and have a nervous breakdown. Out of nowhere, a baby's shrill cry suddenly sounded, breaking the sound of the rope, but the next second the baby's cry stopped abruptly, and it seemed that it should have been stopped by an adult. The long night spread out like black brocade, and the awkward magic sound wafted in the night, and fear and anxiety occupied the hearts of every rich man.
Suddenly, the strange sound stopped, and just as the guards were suspicious, the screams of a mercenary came, followed by a second, third, and fourth, and the screams rang out one after another, and in a short time they spread all around the villa. At this moment, a bloodied mercenary pounced on a magic lamp, and in an instant the light returned, but only a small area was illuminated, but it was enough for the living mercenaries to see everything.
The mercenary captain looked at the dismembered team members in front of him in horror, and the severed limbs and broken arms that were still shaking on the ground made some mercenaries scream, and then the head of a dead man rolled to the captain's feet, and the captain's body trembled violently at this time, and his eyes widened from his skull
noticed a burning flame in his eyes, but when he turned to look, the burning magical flame was once again consumed by darkness.
"Close!!Draw close!!"
The captain yelled and sat back to back with a few mercenaries, their weapons in their hands, staring around with trepidation. At this time, a ray of light appeared silently above their heads, and the next second the light was divided into countless points of light, which penetrated into these stupid mercenaries before they could find out, and for a while the entire mercenary team fell into a frenzy. The point of light burned everything they could touch, whether it was nerve or flesh, whether it was blood or bone marrow, everything was burned out by the point of light.
"Ahh
The mercenaries roared one after another, as if there was a fire burning in their bodies at this time, and the burning sensation that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made these tenacious mercenaries howl too, and they rolled wildly on the ground one by one, as if they could relieve their pain in the dust, countless blood was reflected from their skin, and even some mercenaries with average physique could already feel that the flesh and blood of their bodies were slowly dissolving.
The constant roars outside the door have been intimidating the family, the mother is now covering the child's mouth with her hand, forcing her to be quiet, while the father on the side is now holding a giant sword, staring at the door, as if if anyone dares to break in he is ready to fight with him.
After a long time, the roar outside the door slowly stopped, just when the family thought it was safe, the mahogany door was suddenly knocked open, and a person whose body was half burned to dry bones broke in, which made the nerves of the whole family tense to the extreme, the mother's hand could no longer cover the child's mouth, and the loud cry appeared again, at this time the father held the big sword in front of the family, he fully demonstrated his courage as the head of the family at this time, after the big sword was waved, the mercenary who broke in fell to the ground, but he did not seem to be killed by the big sword, but collapsed to the ground by himself。
Just when the family was in shock, the mercenary's body that collapsed to the ground kept vibrating, as if something was churning back and forth in his body, only to see the mercenary's stomach rise more and more, and it grew bigger and bigger, until it finally swelled into a huge circle, at this time, I saw the mercenary's body twitch violently, and then the round belly burst open, and the splashed viscous juice even scattered to the father's body, but fortunately, this juice did not have any aggressiveness. Inside the blasted belly, a strange-looking insect appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was a palm-sized bug, slimy liquid on both sides, but it seemed to be a wing-like thing from the outside, and the head and tail were exactly the same, this strange bug seemed to have no head and tail, after a few minutes of struggle in the slime, this weird bug actually trembled and flew up, looking at its crooked flight state, I knew that it must be a newborn larva.
The child of the aristocratic family forgot to cry when he looked at this strange-shaped larva, and he opened his black eyes
The big eyes stared at the bug, and after looking at it for a long time, he grinned, and the mother was by the child's side at this time, she had never seen such a strange-looking bug, but from the current point of view, it seemed that it was not aggressive, the father on the side did not think so, the giant sword was always in a state of attack, he stared closely at the larva wandering around the hall, he thought about how to shoot it down.
The larva seemed to have grown a lot after the initial trembling, and its flight was much more steady, and what was even more surprising was that its head and tail seemed to be slowly starting to separate, and its big eyes kept searching the hall, and soon the grinning child became its next target.
In the faint light of the hall, the larvae swerved in the air and rushed straight towards the child, so fast that the father could not react, and the next second the larva flew through the child's gaping mouth, and disappeared into his throat in a short time.
The mother watched this scene, she frantically tried to pick out the larvae that flew into the child's throat, but to no avail, and the father on the side was extremely remorseful at the moment, he looked at his child helplessly, leaving tears of remorse.
Everything happened in an instant, when the family was still sad and remorseful, the child's body swelled violently, and in this dark hall, the child's body was like a brighter and brighter light, constantly emitting light.
At this time, the child's father seemed to know something, he let go of the child's hand trembling and shouted, "Quick, let go, he, he's going to explode..............."
The child's mother didn't know what the father was talking about, she was holding her child desperately, she could already feel the vibration from the child's body at this time, just when the mother hesitated, the light in the child's body had reached the limit, and the next second a huge explosion occurred, the child's father and mother, as well as their luxury villa, were all crushed into powder by the impact of the explosion.
The explosion in the rich area was far from a unique case, not long after the explosion, there were several similar explosions in the rich area, and for a time the entire aristocratic area was covered in thick smoke, and the stench produced by the explosion also spread to all sides at the same time, and soon half of the capital city of Oster was covered by this stench.
Yi Tian looked at the fire not far away, he knew that the explosion was happening again, in just three days, he saw no less than seven or eight explosions, and the scale of the explosion that occurred in the rich area seemed to be far greater than these few days, could it be that their general attack was coming?
He stared at the dark cloud over the wealthy area, and he knew that the explosion in front of him was definitely related to the last time the inn attacked their redworm swarm, and the purpose of this repeated attack was self-evident, which was to attack the vanguard army of the garrison capital. Yi Tian looked at Feng standing downstairs in the hotel, he felt that she was extremely lonely at this time, in fact, he had the opportunity to get rid of all this trouble from beginning to end, but Yi Tian was never able to let go of Feng and leave alone, maybe this is his responsibility as a man.
