The gray-haired catcher looked at the nematodes gathered together in his hand, and his old face turned pale with fright. He had just experienced the horror of nematodes, and it would be an exaggeration to say that there were no corpses left alive!
After strangling the fingertip worm with force, the old catcher immediately tried to save himself. He was also a martial artist. Although he was not good at academics, he was at least a martial artist with some internal strength.
However, as soon as he used his internal energy to force the bugs out of his body, he felt the energy and blood in his body surge, and his whole body's muscles and veins trembled uncontrollably.
puff--
A mouthful of blood spurted out and fell on the white cloth covering the body. Along with the blood, countless white nematodes fell.
This sudden scene frightened the female family members of the Chen family present and screamed again.
"Tou, what's wrong with Tou?"
Several government officials who were following the arrester saw something was wrong and wanted to reach out to help him.
But the next second, they felt itchy all over, as if there were countless ants crawling on them.
"It's itchy, it's so itchy! Scratch it for me quickly. No...hurry...save us!"
The simple knife he was holding was carelessly thrown to the ground. Several government officials present kept scratching with fear on their faces. Two people couldn't bear it anymore and violently tore off their clothes. They cried for help and rolled on the ground.
Rubbing around randomly.
Everyone knows that the sudden itching is closely related to the nematodes, and they also know that scratching alone can quench thirst unconsciously.
But so what? The itching is so extreme that they can’t restrain their body’s instinctive reaction at all.
As the government officials cried and scratched, large pieces of their skin began to fall off, and countless twisted nematodes were exposed.
Yuwen Fengye's face was ashen at this moment. She raised her hand and shot out several spiritual threads, tying up the government officials on the ground tightly.
No matter how much the officials cried, they could not take any next step.
It's not that she doesn't want to save people, it's that she is really powerless.
If someone were to cut open the bodies of several people at this moment, they would find that their entire bodies had been eaten away by worms. Excluding the worms, their weight would probably be less than half of their original weight.
The screams attracted many passers-by, and some brave people tried to get closer to see what happened.
"Everyone, please don't come here! The government office is handling the case, and no one else is allowed to come near!"
Seeing the people nearby who wanted to join in the fun, Yuwen Fengye was startled and immediately shouted and kicked them out.
The government office still has a great deterrent effect on civilians. After hearing this, several curious people immediately stopped and did not dare to take another step closer to Chen's mansion.
Having temporarily stabilized the situation, Yuwen Fengye did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately ordered several female relatives to get out of the way and pulled all the carts and government officials back to Chen's mansion.
Before it is determined how these nematode "strange diseases" are spread, Yuwen Maple Leaf will not dare to let them appear in the market again.
After closing the door of Chen Mansion, Yuwen Fengye squatted down and found that the several government servants who had cried before had no movement at this moment.
They all followed in the footsteps of the men in the Chen family. From the onset of symptoms to death, the speed was so fast that it made people shudder.
"What the hell is this?"
Yuwen Fengye suppressed the discomfort in his heart, carefully took out a small nematode from the corpse, observed it for a while, and then lit it with a flame.
The ashes are scattered and look like ordinary bugs. They neither have any spiritual resistance nor strong external aggression.
"It seems a bit weird."
Just when she was confused, Bai Yuan, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.
Yuwen Fengye's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked:
"Weird... Do you think this thing is a weird method?"
She didn't ask why Bai Yuan knew about the weirdness. After all, the spirit beasts around Master Jiedan, although their strength was low, must be much more knowledgeable than her.
Looking at his friend's eyes asking for confirmation, Bai Yuan shook his head uncertainly.
"I'm not sure, but the moment those government officials got sick, I felt a familiar aura, a bit like the one I encountered in the ghost town, but much weaker."
Back in Hongling City, Shi Fifty's mysterious aura filled the whole city. Bai Yuan had been following Chai Jiangcui for so long, and he had some sense of it.
Hearing what Bai Yuan said, Yuwen Fengye also had some guesses in his mind, maybe this was really weird.
But if it is really weird, this matter will undoubtedly be difficult. Weird sustenance and items have their own specific killing patterns, which are very difficult to find.
After pondering for a moment, Yuwen Fengye raised his head and looked at the older woman in charge of the Chen family's female dependents, and asked in a deep voice:
"Madam, you said that the first thing that happened was the eldest son of your house. Do you know if he has come into contact with any strange things in the past few days? Or did he bring something strange home?"
"thing?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes looked thoughtful, trying to recall what her eldest son had purchased in the past few days.
Just at this moment, a young woman suddenly raised her head and whispered:
"To talk about strange things, I seem to think of one. It was a hollow and exquisite ball made of ivory, which suddenly appeared in the study last night.
At first, my husband thought it was a gadget that the master had recently bought, so he happily played with it, and then the next morning...just..."
Halfway through her words, the woman lowered her head and began to cry softly.
Yuwen Fengye was overjoyed. If he could find the strange storage object easily, it would be troublesome, but it would not be impossible to deal with it.
She grabbed the young woman's sleeve and continued to ask:
"Where is the ivory ball now? It is most likely the culprit who killed your husband..."
"Ah... that thing should still be in the study room. I... I will take you there."
When the young woman heard that the exquisite ivory ball might be the murderer of her husband, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes at first, but more of it was deep fear.
The tragic situation of all the men in the Chen family and the government servants had scared her to the point of incontinence. Now that she was allowed to come into contact with this thing again, she naturally felt extremely scared.
But she also knew that if this thing was solved from the Chen family a moment earlier, they would be able to escape danger earlier.
So despite a hundred reluctances in her heart, the young woman moved her trembling legs and slowly brought Yuwen Fengye to the study.
"That's the ivory ball that suddenly appeared."
Following the direction of the woman's finger, Yuwen Fengye saw the white hollow ball placed on the desk in the study room.
The ball is exquisitely made and is spotless, but when you scan it with your spiritual consciousness, you can't see anything out of the ordinary. It looks like an ordinary ornament.
Although she couldn't see anything wrong, Yuwen Fengye didn't care. The female relatives didn't dare to enter the house and ran outside to wait for her.
Yuwen Maple Leaf waved his hand and took out an earthen jar engraved with runes from the storage ring, with the mouth of the jar facing down, and carefully moved it towards the ivory ball cover.
To deal with weirdness, simply destroying the carrier is useless. If the carrier is damaged, the weirdness will only transfer, not disappear.
If the god-refining monks want to completely eliminate the weirdness, they can only find a way to reveal the weirdness, and then try to destroy it with force.
But let’s not talk about whether there is the strength to destroy the weird body, the methods of weird manifestation are often strange and difficult to find.
Therefore, the best way for god-refining monks to deal with weirdness is not to destroy it, but to seal it together with the carrier.
Under the jar mask, the white ivory ball seemed to feel threatened, and rolled on its own in an attempt to avoid the seal of the jar.
But as a direct descendant of the Yuwen family, how could he have no other means? Yuwen Fengye made a secret with one hand, and a silver needle flew out of his sleeve.
"Order it for me!"
The silver needle was like a firefly, and it instantly got stuck in the hollow of the ivory, firmly fixing it in place.
Taking this opportunity, Yuwen Maple Leaf tightly capped the earthen jar and quickly turned it upside down to seal the mouth of the jar.
A glowing yellow talisman was attached to the mouth of the jar. No matter how hard the ivory ball struggled inside, the jar remained as solid as iron stone.
"Done."
Holding up the clinking jar, Yuwen Fengye's expression softened slightly. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the frightened screams of the female members of the Chen family suddenly came from outside the house.
"Ah - monsters, there are monsters!"
Yuwen Fengye's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly put away the earthen jar and rushed out. Outside the house, he saw a tall figure made of maggots, massacring everyone wantonly.
In just a few seconds, three of the female members of the Chen family had their hearts ripped out, and one of them was the young woman who pointed out the ivory ball to her before.
It's strange that even after being sealed, he can still control the maggots outside and launch a final counterattack!
Yuwen Fengye was shocked, but he did not dare to delay any longer and quickly took action to stop him.
"Generals of the four directions, listen to my orders!"
Four golden talismans spilled out, transforming into four illusory golden-armored generals, tightly surrounding the Maggot Man in the center.
The god generals held sharp weapons and swung them towards the center.
With the addition of swords, guns, axes and halberds, the maggot man was immediately chopped into pieces. Many maggots were crushed into meat paste, but the remaining living maggots were still squirming and trying to assemble again.
However, Yuwen Maple Leaf will not give them a chance. Just point a finger and suddenly the flames will appear.
"Spiritual Fire Gathering and Burning"
The four gods burned the center with blazing flames, and countless maggots twisted and struggled, turning into ashes in the bright red fire.
