Chapter 841: Eating Insects [ First Update ]
“Amelia.”The priest came in front of Amelia. He looked at her deeply and whispered: “Pay attention to your safety.”
“I will.”Amelia took a deep breath. There was a serious look on her face. She slowly stepped out and said: “Let’s go in.”
Dudian looked at the priest but didn’t say anything. He took Aisha and Amelia and walked into the cave.
When they came to the front of the cave, the other villagers lined up and were ready to enter.
The cave was pitch black and the light from the top of the wall couldn’t shine in. However, Dudian could still see the inside of the cave through his night vision. There were broken stones everywhere and the walls were extremely smooth, it seemed that the mucus had dried up.
Dudian let go of Aisha and let her follow him. He held the cleaver in one hand and grabbed Amelia’s shoulder in the other. He slowly walked into the cave.
The cave was extremely quiet, but if one listened carefully, they could hear very slight friction sounds. The sound was greasy and disgusting. It seemed to be the feeling of something sticky rubbing against his body. He stared into the depths of the cave, he couldn’t see any heat source reaction, but from the subtle sound, he could tell that there was something not far in front of him.
It was his first time facing a desolate worm, so he didn’t dare to be careless. He used his X-ray vision to the extreme. Soon, he saw a few finger-long worms in the crevices of the wall seventy to eighty meters in front of him. They were gently squirming.
The worms looked like a snail without a shell. There was a fishy smell of mucus under their bodies. Their entire bodies were naked, and they didn’t seem to have any offensive power.
“Is this a desolate worm?”Dudian slowly walked over with Amelia. When they were about ten meters away from the worms, the worms seemed to be startled. They raised their heads like poisonous snakes, they turned their heads to look at Dudian’s position. The next moment, they crawled out from the gap in the nest. They were like caterpillars. But every time they arched their bodies, their bodies were stretched very long, the body that was originally as long as a finger was stretched to about half a meter long. The speed of their wriggling was extremely fast. In about ten seconds they would be in front of dudian.
“Desolate worms!”Amelia saw the wriggling worms. Her face that was full of determination showed a trace of panic but she quickly clenched her teeth, she said to dudian: “Attack! Don’t let them get close! This thing will spit corrosive liquid!”
Dudian had read about the ability of the desolate insects in books. The ability to spit corrosive liquid was just one of its abilities. Different desolate insects could spray different characteristics of liquid. Some of the liquid could frostbite people while others could corrode rocks, some of them could elongate their bodies and strangle their prey like snakes. Dudian looked at Amelia: “I’ll leave these few to you.”
Amelia was stunned. She didn’t expect that Dudian would throw this trouble to her. She wasn’t mentally prepared. After all, she had never been to the Dragon Cave. She had heard about the appearance of the desolate insects from the great god, this was the first time she had seen these ugly insects. As a girl she had a natural fear of insects. If she didn’t have a mission in her heart she would have turned around and run away.
However, Dudian was crazy to let her attack. She didn’t have any weapons!
“I, I, I…”Looking at the squirming insects that were getting closer and closer, Amelia’s legs trembled and her body moved back.
Dudian saw her appearance and slightly raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that as a goddess, she couldn’t even deal with a few desolate insects. Her combat ability was inferior to ordinary villagers. After all, Priory had said that.., he could deal with one or two small insects at the same time. The size of the insects in front of him was small.
The insects were getting closer and closer but Amelia was still scared. Dudian didn’t expect her. He picked up a few stones from the ground and quickly threw them out, the stones flew out at the same time but hit the insects in different positions.
All of them were hit!
However, the stones hit the worms and quickly sank down. Two of the stones accurately hit the head of the two gray-white worms which were wriggling forward, the stones sank into their bodies and their heads quickly returned to their original state. They continued to wriggle towards Dudian.
Dudian slightly raised his eyebrows. It was just as the books said, ordinary physical attacks were ineffective against them.
He stepped out and slightly turned his wrist. The battle in the cave was covered with several dark lights. The worms that were wriggling over were cut off. At the same time, the broken bodies were separated by Dudian. In the blink of an eye.., the five worms on the ground turned into ten. They were like snakes with broken tails. They jumped on the ground but there was no blood flowing out of the wounds.
“Go and catch them.”Dudian ordered Amelia.
Amelia was relieved to see that the worms were severely injured by Dudian. However, she felt disgusted as she saw them wriggle and jump. She held back the fear in her heart and took out a jar from her backpack, she picked up a broken body of the worm and quickly threw it into the jar. She closed the mouth of the jar. Half of the worm hit the jar.
She wiped the mucus from the finger of the worm and returned to Dudian: “It will die soon. Do you want to eat it?”
“You eat it first.”Dudian said. He had learned about the methods of using the worm from books, pulley and other villagers. The answer he got was very consistent. He washed it and ate it directly.
He didn’t pay attention to anything. He ate it just like food and then he would become stronger!
“I… I don’t want to eat it.”Amelia’s face was ugly. She didn’t want to eat it. Even if she looked at it twice, her scalp would feel numb.
Dudian coldly glanced at her: “Don’t force me to grab the whole thing and stuff it into your mouth.”
Amelia looked at Dudian’s indifferent expression and shivered. She knew that Dudian would always keep his words when he spoke to her. This man wasn’t a soft-hearted person. She clenched her teeth and felt humiliated, time passed by. The nine pieces of worms that were scattered on the ground were still jumping on the spot. Some of them were wriggling gently and were still crawling towards Dudian.
Dudian used the tip of the knife to flick away the worms that were crawling in front of him. He quietly waited for the worms in the jar to suffocate to death.
That’s right. The worms weren’t afraid of attacks but they were easily suffocated to death. In this regard, they were like most of the creatures on Earth. They were highly dependent on oxygen.
After a few minutes, the jar in Amelia’s hand gradually quieted down.
“Eat it.”Dudian urged her.
Amelia’s body slightly trembled. She hesitated for a moment and slowly opened the jar. The half of the worm was still at the bottom of the jar. It was dead and its body had recovered to the size of half of a finger.
Her face was extremely ugly. She trembled as she stretched out her finger and took out the worm. The sticky feeling on her finger made her want to vomit. She instinctively wanted to raise her head and beg Dudian. However, the cold face of Dudian flashed through her mind, she clenched her teeth and endured it. She closed her eyes and suddenly stuffed the half of the worm into her mouth. In an instant, she felt that she was about to die. The smell and the feeling made her feel more painful than death!
She chewed and the worm’s body split open. It was as if internal organs had burst out. The taste was fishy and bitter.
She felt that her stomach was churning. She couldn’t endure it any longer and vomited. She bent down and coughed. She coughed and vomited. She would vomit all the exquisite meat she had eaten in the future.
The thing that she vomited had a sour smell. Dudian frowned slightly. He took the jar from her hand and picked up another struggling worm. He threw it into the jar. He closed the lid and waited for the worm to die, he waited for her to recover.
“Your villagers have risked their lives to get what they want. Now it is in front of you. You have to know how to treasure it.”Dudian said to her.
Amelia knew that this worm was extremely precious. However, eating it was worse than killing her. She wanted to cry. At this moment she wished that she was just an ordinary girl in the village, because women didn’t need to come to the barren hole. This was a traditional rule.
Soon, she was tired of vomiting. She wiped her mouth. At this time, Dudian handed the jar to her. The worm inside was suffocated.
“Eat it.”
There was fear in Amelia’s eyes. She looked at Dudian and saw the same cold expression. She clenched her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes. She trembled as she opened the jar and took out the worm, she was about to spit out the fishy smell but this time she clenched her teeth. She closed her eyes and threw the worm into her mouth.
This time she didn’t chew much. She only chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it.
The moment she swallowed it she felt like she was relieved.
Dudian saw her eat it but didn’t say anything. He picked up another worm and threw it into the jar.
Seeing Dudian’s action, Amelia felt a bit broken. She clenched her teeth and her eyes were full of hatred.
After a few minutes, the worm in the jar was suffocated. When Amelia was about to take over, Dudian directly opened the jar and used two slender fingers to pick it up. He threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, then he swallowed it.
After eating, Dudian didn’t look at Amelia. He bent down and picked up a section of the struggling worms. He said to Amelia: “The people behind are coming. Let’s go.”
Amelia saw that Dudian’s expression didn’t change. There was shock in her eyes. After hearing his words, she subconsciously looked at the worms on the ground: “What about these?”She regretted saying it, she was afraid that Dudian would pick them up for her to eat.
“Let’s leave them to the people behind us. We will go inside and take a look.”Dudian said. He used the knife to push away the insects on the ground and walked straight towards them.
Amelia looked at the insects that were still wriggling on the rock wall. Her face was ugly as she quickly followed behind Dudian.
