As they moved through the forest, the closer they got to the schistosomiasis, the more careful they became, for fear of disturbing them.
Bai Jing pushed aside the branches and saw a wide, deep pit. Countless schistosomes were wriggling in the pit, their slender bodies entangled with each other.
In the pit, there were countless corpses of orcs and animals. Some had been eaten to the point that only skeletons were left, while others still had intact flesh. Thousands of schistosomes were lying on them, sucking the flesh and blood mouthful by mouthful, and a strange smell of decay filled the air.
The orcs were disgusted by the scene, frowning and turning away. Some of them couldn't bear it and turned around and vomited on the spot.
Su Hui's face didn't look good either. He suppressed the urge to vomit and asked Bai Jing, "What should we do now?"
Bai Jing said in a deep voice, "Don't let them find out. Schistosoma are afraid of water and fire. There's no water source nearby. The best way is to burn them to death."
"How do you burn it?"
"Have the orcs fetch some wood, place it around the schistosomes, light it, and then push the fire inward to burn the worms to death."
"Okay." Su Hui nodded: "This method is really safe. He is worthy of being the partner that Wanwan has chosen."
Hearing Yu Wanwan's name, Bai Jing chuckled.
Su Hui ordered the beast soldiers to pick up wood and whispered, "Be sure to keep your voice down. There are so many schistosomiasis. It's no joke if you alarm them."
The beast soldier nodded and began to look for flammable wood.
The orcs of the White Tiger Tribe cleared the nearby plants to prevent a fire from spreading and endangering the entire forest.
Luce was also in the team. He was picking up wood in silence, with a calculating look in his eyes.
The wood was quickly collected and they arranged it in a circle, waiting to burn the insects to death.
Bai Jing felt that it was almost time, and flames appeared in the palm of his hand, and he was about to light the wood.
Luce, who was standing aside, watched his movements, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly fell to the ground with a cry, flying out with the wood in his hand, and fell straight into the pile of schistosomiasis.
This was a serious incident. The schistosomes that had been quietly wriggling just now suddenly became agitated, twisting their bright red bodies and crawling towards the orcs like a tide.
They were very fast. The schistosomes at the edge of the pit rushed out and drilled into the orcs' bodies the moment they touched their feet.
The orc screamed and fell to the ground. Then, countless insects crawled towards him, biting his flesh one by one, twisting their bodies and drilling into his body fiercely.
The orcs standing closer had schistosomiasis drilled into their bodies, and long worms were wriggling under their skin, which looked very scary.
The orcs on the periphery became panicked and could not help but retreat. Some of them even turned around and tried to escape.
Bai Jing set the wood on fire, and a circle of fire formed around the deep pit. Countless schistosomes crawled over it, making crackling sounds. The scorching heat and the strange smell of burnt food entangled together, constantly invading the orcs' psychological defenses.
Bai Jing said in a deep voice, "Everyone, calm down. Retreat quickly and throw the torches away. Be careful not to get hit by the bugs!"
At this time, his voice was still calm. The White Tiger orcs were the first to be calmed down by the voice of their clan leader. They lit the wood in their hands, threw some of it away, and used some of it to burn the schistosomes crawling over.
Su Hui also quickly reorganized his beast soldiers and asked them to help pick up wood and burn it.
The situation was temporarily contained, but the number of schistosomiasis was too large. There were even several places where the wood could no longer burn because it was covered with the corpses of the burned schistosomiasis. The schistosomiasis that crawled out of the deep pit directly climbed out of the pit using the corpses of their companions.
The fire circle made of wood burned several places intermittently. Bai Jing picked up his spear, picked up the schistosomes in the burned places and flew away, then picked up the wood again, and a flame rose in his palm.
The wood was lit and he threw it back in to connect the fire circle.
Bai Jing filled several gaps, and several orcs followed suit, picking up the schistosomes and then lighting the wood to fill the gaps.
There was also a gap in front of Luce. A large number of schistosomes crawled out from the corpses of the insects and were about to crawl in front of him. Luce kept backing away, but the orc standing behind him refused to back away and even kept pushing forward.
The worm crawled over, and Luce panicked and cut the worm in half with his spear, but the schistosome was very strong and could not be killed by anything except water or fire. Even after its body was broken, it continued to wriggle and move forward.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" Luce was panicked and anxious. He lost his direction in picking up the insects and directly picked up the insects and flew them onto the faces of other orcs.
The unfortunate orc never expected that the bug would fly onto him. By the time he reacted, he felt a pain on his face. The bug had already bitten his skin and was twisting its body to crawl into his flesh.
The orc screamed in panic, dropped his spear, and subconsciously tried to pull out the exposed part of the worm's body, but the schistosomes crawled too fast. As soon as his hand touched it, the worm crawled completely in, squirming under the skin, drinking blood and eating flesh in big gulps, and finally drilled into the head and sucked dry their favorite brain.
The orc's scream was stuck in his throat and he fell straight down. Soon, countless insects crawled up along his feet and invaded his body.
Seeing this, Luce thought of something and kept moving towards Bai Jing's position, but the orc behind him was like nailed to the ground, making it impossible for him to squeeze out. At this time, more insects crawled over and climbed up Luce's spear very quickly.
Luce was nearly bitten by a bug and dropped his weapon.
But without a weapon in his hand, he could no longer knock the worms away. The schistosomes were already rushing towards him in an unstoppable manner. Luce screamed in shock and subconsciously grabbed the orc behind him, using his body to shield himself.
