Chapter 60 The Terrifying "Little Bugs"

"Boss! What are you doing? This is the meat for tonight. It has been roasted for a while. Why are you throwing it away?"

When Liu Qi saw that the meat in his mouth was about to fly away, a sad expression appeared on his face.

"Boss, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the wolf meat?" An Wu was more stable than Liu Qi, and he also knew that Chen Yi would not be so unreliable.

But when he saw Chen Yi's expression, he also began to become serious. His heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Everyone! Quick! Get up right now! Stand still, jump hard, and shake your body." Chen Yi didn't answer them immediately, but the expression on his face became more and more unpleasant.

"Everyone, do it now! Hurry!" An Wu realized that something was wrong and without saying anything, he followed Chen Yi and did the same action.

"Everyone listen to me, now let's stay away from wolf meat, especially the one that has just been roasted. This wolf meat cannot be eaten."

When Chen saw that everyone had done as he was told and looked carefully on the ground and found nothing, he felt relieved.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong? What's wrong with wolf meat?" Yu Qingshu followed suit with a confused look on his face, but he couldn't help asking questions.

"It's like this. In my early years, I followed my master on his travels. One time, when we were staying with a farmer, a major event happened in the village that I still remember vividly."

Chen Yi paused, took a sip of water, moistened his throat and continued speaking.

"A strange thing happened in the village where we were living. In the middle of the night, the village chief came to tell us that someone had died in the village and asked us to be careful. Out of curiosity, we followed him to see what was happening.

I went to examine the body carefully and found no injuries or even signs of poisoning. Later, the village chief had no choice but to call in a quack doctor.

After his diagnosis and treatment, he finally concluded that the man had died of organ failure.

Because several people had died in quick succession, the village chief considered the matter serious and reported it to the authorities. The officials had never seen such a bizarre case before, so they called in a more experienced doctor.

The doctor said that he had to open the dead man's body to confirm his guess. Finally, with the official's consent, the man took some protective measures and opened the man's body.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" As Chen Yi said this, someone couldn't help but start retching.

"I actually discovered that there were a lot of black bugs in that person's body, and many of his organs were incomplete." Chen Yi also suppressed his nausea and finished talking about this matter.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh." Now everyone except Chen Yi also started to retch.

"Boss, you mean that those bugs might have entered our bodies, and then I'm going to die."

Liu Qi's face turned pale with fear when he heard this. He felt as if his organs were being gnawed by insects, and he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart. The others also had expressions of extreme fear on their faces.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. A doctor later identified this insect as not a bug that would eat one's organs immediately after entering the body.

It takes about five to seven days for it to start moving. And only female insects will eat them, not males."

When Chen Yi saw everyone's expressions, he was afraid that they would really lose their composure.

After hearing Chen Yi's words, everyone felt a little relieved.

"And this bug is quite sensitive to temperature. I just saw it when you were grilling the meat. It escapes from its host when the temperature rises.

It can be killed, and we'll buy some medicine later, and after taking it for about three days, there will be no problem."

Chen Yi finished speaking in one breath, and everyone's expressions relaxed after hearing it. They felt that their lives were saved.

"The reason the people in that village came into contact with these insects was because they went hunting in the mountains. They ingested the insects through their prey.

It is not yet certain whether direct contact with it will cause harm to us.

Furthermore, this insect doesn't seem to cause any harm to animals, which is something I still can't figure out."

Chen Yi added another sentence, and after hearing it, everyone silently threw the wolf's body to a remote place outside the cave entrance.

In a hidden place, several pairs of green eyes saw their companions being thrown out and then disappeared into the night.

"Oh no! I really need to go back and inform Yu Qinghai and the others that this wolf meat cannot be eaten." An Wu slapped his head and suddenly remembered that he had asked someone to deliver it.

"Yes! Yes! I want to go back too. It would be terrible if it was eaten." Yu Qingshu heard this, his heart almost jumped into his throat, and he quickly rushed to the cave entrance.

"Don't worry, come back first. I'll let Anwu go, don't panic, it's not safe for you to go out so late." Chen Yi pulled Yu Qingshu's clothes and explained to him patiently.

"Are you really okay? But..." Yu Qingshu stuttered, feeling that he had caused a lot of trouble to others.

"Don't worry! Brother Yu, I promise to convey the message to them, so you don't have to go out." After saying this, An Wu disappeared into the night in a flash.

After Chen Yi's comfort, Yu Qingshu also began to calm down. The most important thing now was to wait until he got out and buy some medicine and he would be fine.

And not everyone will be affected. Now that you know what to do, you don’t have to worry so much.

"You two will be on duty for a while. We will go and rest first and take your turn later."

Chen saw that it was getting late and there was still a lot to do tomorrow, so he pulled Yu Qingshu up a nearby tree. Yu Qingshu was not that scared and found a suitable place to close his eyes and rest.

In a cave on a cliff, Yu Qingqing, bloated from eating so much fish, lay reclining on a pile of hay. Due to the strict rules for men and women, Yuan Xichen rested at a distance from her.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Qingqing quietly walked to a place near the pond and closed her eyes. She tried to concentrate and think about what she needed to do.

After a while, she used her consciousness to explore the space and really found another place in the space.

A tributary of the stream was filled with various large fish, which were the ones Yu Qingqing had just sneaked across from the pool outside.

Yu Qingqing was so happy that she almost wanted to spin around on the spot, and then she quietly returned to the place where she had just rested.

But she didn't know that in the dark, a pair of sharp eyes were staring at the beautiful figure by the pool, but did not make a sound to disturb her.

Yuan Xichen didn't know what she was doing and just wanted to watch her quietly, as long as she was not in danger.

He always found it difficult to fall asleep with his beloved by his side. After an unknown amount of time, he finally drifted off to sleep.
