When the two people guarding the city saw that Xingzhou and Li Huixi were back, they did not stop them, but showed some respect when facing Li Huixi.

However, Zhu Ye saw the clothes on Li Huixi's body that did not belong to her, and immediately understood something, and with a wave of his hand, several fools walked out behind him, different from the two guys guarding the city, they looked at the two with hostile eyes.

But Xingzhou recognized it at a glance, and there was also his uncle among these people. Xingzhou tried to talk to their uncle in their local words, but the other party remained indifferent.

Zhu Ye made a look, several "fools" swarmed up, just one is difficult to deal with, now although he has drunk the lake water, facing a group of people, Li Huixi should also feel difficult.

It's just that this time Li Huixi doesn't seem to have the desire to fight, and lets the other party restrain his limbs and not resist.

Just when Zhu Ye was puzzled, the muscles on Li Huixi's body began to tense, the joints made a sound of rubbing, and some subtle blue light was faintly visible. It didn't take much effort, but with a light shock, several "fools" were knocked out.

Zhu Ye didn't laugh when he saw this, looked at Li Huixi in the audience with a smile, and said with some appreciation:

"I thought you would fit, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable."

Li Huixi was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically:

"What are you talking about?"

"It's a long story, you've drunk water from the lake, haven't you?"

Li Huixi nodded.

Without waiting for Zhu Ye to continue to speak, the bodies of the "fools" who had just attacked Li Huixi began to change, and the blue light on their bodies became more and more dazzling, including Xingzhou's uncle, all of them were lying at Zhu Ye's feet, their eyes were full of blue light, and occasionally some white lines could be seen swimming in their eyeballs.

It seemed to be begging for something, but Li Huixi couldn't understand what they were saying.

Zhu Ye was a little impatient and muttered:

"Are you so impatient?"

After speaking, Zhu Ye drew a few strokes on the "Covering the Sky", and in an instant, several thunderbolts fell from the sky, penetrating the bricks and tiles of the palace, and hitting the bodies of several people.

"Uncle!"

Everything happened too fast, Xingzhou witnessed everything, and in just half a day, he lost his brother and uncle, and the cause of death was still the same.

Xingzhou couldn't control his emotions, and took advantage of Li Huixi's unpreparedness, snatched the short knife in her hand, and stabbed at Zhu Ye.

But Zhu Ye defused his attack with one hand, grabbed Xingzhou's wrist fiercely, and said impatiently:

"Don't worry, you're not old yet."

Xingzhou's pupils dilated instantly, and Zhu Ye's words suddenly reminded him of something.

Li Huixi stepped forward to recapture the star boat. Li Huixi didn't understand, didn't this group of people help Zhu Ye? Why kill them.

Without Li Huixi's questioning, Zhu Ye, who heard her heart, explained:

"You look closely at their bodies......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the group of guys who had just been killed by himself with a falling lightning.

Li Huixi is looking for prestige, if an ordinary person is killed by thunder, there is a high probability that his body is scorched and blackened, and he will not be blinded.

But the bodies of these "fools" had almost disappeared, and the blue light that was slowly dissipating could still be seen in place. In the end, there will not be even a single thing left, as if they had never been to this world.

It's just that Li Huixi didn't understand why Zhu Ye wanted to kill them, but he looked different from ordinary people after death.

Zhu Ye explained:

"I think you found out too, right? There are a lot of tiny insects in the lake, and this blue light is also emitted by them, I call them fireflies. As long as it is a living thing, it has the instinct to reproduce, but this bug reproduces in a different way from other creatures, they specifically parasitize the animal body and feed on the soul, so they especially like the human body. It's not so much parasitism as symbiosis, and after entering the human body, human beings can also get a significant increase in their five senses and strength, but this comes at a price......"

Xingzhou also heard this statement for the first time, and he was a little fascinated by it, and was very curious about the price in Zhu Ye's mouth, and asked:

"At what cost......

"The price is that over time, the bugs will become humans."

"What do you mean?"

"Li Huixi, do you know the ship of Theseus? The fireflies will gradually copy all the information of the host, and eventually they will crave freedom, and the best way to do this is to kill the lightning with one hit. ”

Li Huixi thought about the fireflies in his body, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, and asked in a low voice:

"Won't lightning destroy the fireflies together?"

"No, the lightning will only destroy the body of the host that traps them, they are different from ordinary creatures, after leaving the host, they will return to the primordial lake with everything from the host to become nutrients, until the new worm finds the host and completes the closed loop of reproduction."

Li Huixi and Xingzhou both looked at their bodies in unison, and the two of them witnessed the scene just now, if the number of fireflies reached a certain threshold, wouldn't they beg for death like the "fool" just now.

No wonder Zhu Ye said that Xingzhou's age has not yet arrived.

On the other side, the fox rushed to the original lake where Li Huixi had been, and after a careful observation, he found that the trees by the lake were glowing with some blue light, although this kind of insect would only parasitize the animal's body, but the animal would also participate in the ecological cycle, and they had no good way to destroy their flesh in an instant.

There was no clue to be found on the surface of the lake, and the fox simply plunged into the lake, and as suspected, there was another world in the lake.

Very similar to the central lake of No. 5 Middle School, the lake is more like a copy of the real world, it didn't take long to get out, you can see the buildings corresponding to reality, although I don't know the residents here, but the fox saw the robe that was worn by Li Huixi in the crowd.

This person is estimated to be Xingzhou's mother.

Unlike the impact of the central lake, the people here seem to be unsane, like lonely ghosts, roaming aimlessly.

The environment here is not as eerie and gloomy as under the central lake, the world under the lake merges with the lake, the sky is replaced by the lake, the fireflies become stars, trying to exude their own light, and some kiwi fish and shrimp parasitized by fireflies can be seen on the head, it seems that in addition to parasiting the host after a certain period of time, these insects have no other impact on the ecology, but accelerate the cycle here to some extent.

The fox was fascinated by it, and there were a few strange noises somewhere in the water, and the fox swam over in search of the sound and saw a strange scene.

Countless white nematodes with blue fluorescence emitted by their bodies are grouped together in a regular manner, like schools of fish in the sea, although they are small, but when combined in groups, they look like behemoths.

The group of fireflies moved regularly, and finally arranged in the shape of a person, and in the surprised eyes of the fox, the "fools" who were executed by Zhu Ye were reborn here.

It's just that they, like the rest of the people in the lake, have no consciousness of their own and wander aimlessly in the lake.

The fox also tried to communicate with them, but the other party's eyes were so hollow that he did not respond to her interruption.

Rather than being weird bodies, they are more like larvae in the central lake, with the only difference being that they don't actively attack humans.

Since they are creatures, or bugs, the fox guesses that they must have a master worm similar to the "queen".

Sure enough, after observing the movements of the fools in the lake, she noticed that in a certain direction, their numbers increased linearly, as if they were guarding something.

Relying on her own conjecture, the fox gradually walked to the depths of the bottom of the lake, and sure enough, here she caught the traces of the female worm.

In an underwater nest, countless white nematodes swim out, and the fools in the lake around it seem to be starting to become a little aggressive.
