At this moment, although Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang broke into the house where Cheng Li and Fang Jie lived.
The insects that had been scattered throughout the room receded like a tide, just like any other ordinary insect with normal habits.
It vanished without a trace in the entire space, like a hunter patiently waiting for its prey to reveal its weakness.
They wait for the next time the people in the house lose their vigilance before swarming out to eat.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang entered Cheng Li and Fang Jie's room.
But what they saw were the maggots that remained on their bodies, unwilling to leave.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe also learned about the insect that he had once crushed.
Where does that bursting, semi-solid substance, resembling white tofu, inside its body come from?
It wasn't that the black beetles came first, and then the white substance stored inside their bodies appeared.
Instead, it first developed a soft, white fleshy body, and only then did the outer black shell appear.
It was as if those white maggots had undergone a baptism of blood and then been "enchanted".
Outside their soft, unprotected bodies, congealed blood clothes them in a sturdy black "armor".
At the same time, this also shows the growth and changes of the insects in the room from larvae to adults.
If Gu Xinghe were to use a metaphor to describe this process...
He would think that this process should be considered as adding a layer of chocolate crispy shell to the white, bursting semi-solid filling.
It looks somewhat like the white color of chocolate syrup poured into a chocolate fountain at a buffet.
The beetle, coated with a layer of dark chocolate crisp, was clearly much harder and stronger.
Perhaps it's because the Devouring skill possessed by the Touch of Mist has become increasingly powerful.
He had obviously used this skill to devour a lot of strange creatures.
Gu Xinghe felt a faint "appetite" for these strange beings.
It was as if by consuming them, he could also achieve some kind of self-completion, making the power of the Mist Touch even stronger.
At this moment, just as described earlier, those white maggots were wriggling on Fang Jie's body in this room.
However, Fang Jie's body, the target of the maggots, remained motionless and stiff, clearly indicating that she was already dead.
The white maggots that were still crawling and slithering all over her body seemed to be devouring Fang Jie's last bit of flesh and blood.
Next to Fang Jie, sitting up and leaning against the bed, was Cheng Li, who looked dazed and had lost her mind.
At that moment, countless fat maggots were crawling and swarming all over her body, gnawing at her flesh.
It absorbs all the nutrients from her body to nourish itself.
But at this moment, Cheng Li seemed to feel no pain at all.
On the top of the head, on the arms, on the thighs...
The insects made small holes in Cheng Li's body, then happily burrowed into the holes to feed and grow.
But after that frantic act of scratching the bugs off his body.
At this moment, Cheng Li simply let the white maggots burrow into and out of her body without any further extreme reaction.
At the same time, Gu Xinghe even saw a small but noticeable blood hole on the back of Cheng Li's hand.
The bloody hole was undoubtedly made by those white maggots.
But the greedy insects were clearly not satisfied with the thin layer of skin and the little "oil" in the flesh on their palms.
A white maggot burrowed half of its body under the skin on the back of Cheng Li's hand.
Still unsatisfied, it kept probing its body further inside.
Then, as the insect moved, the white maggot completely sank into the back of Cheng Li's hand.
It's not hard to guess from its not-so-concealed movements that it's inside the forearm, which is not visible.
Cheng Li's flesh and blood were being gnawed at by insects, and her meridians were being bitten off.
At this moment, the small part of Cheng Li's arm near her palm visibly became shriveled.
The bulge beneath her skin was undoubtedly growing larger.
This was clearly because, as she ate, the maggot that had burrowed into her arm grew larger and larger.
It looked like a visible, solid tumor that was moving around all over her body.
Then, it could be seen that this ever-expanding tumor stopped when it reached the middle of Cheng Li's upper arm.
It's as if they've already eaten their fill, accumulating enough energy and nutrients for growth and evolution.
It was accompanied by a "pop" sound.
The skin on Cheng Li's upper arm was pierced, and the maggots that had entered from the back of her hand and had now crawled to her upper arm emerged.
It was clear that it had eaten its fill, and the red blood on its body had congealed.
Its body shape gradually changed from a plump white maggot to a black beetle.
At this moment, it was a matter of great concern for both Cheng Li, who was still alive, and Fang Jie, who had already died.
Their bodies, constantly being "visited" by white maggots, seemed to have become the maternal nest of these insect swarms.
At this point, it seemed like a long time had passed.
But this only happened for a brief moment when Gu Xinghe and Chu Liang entered the room and witnessed this scene.
At this moment, looking at Fang Jie and Cheng Li, one dead and the other crippled, Gu Xinghe was deep in thought—
If the person behind the scenes needs to be good-looking to perform some kind of ritual.
So why eat them now?
At this moment, Gu Xinghe looked at Cheng Li, whose body had been gnawed away, leaving her almost nothing but skin.
But then I suddenly realized something.
A beautiful appearance is not as important as an interesting soul.
But clearly, the masterminds behind these insects don't see it that way.
Those behind the scenes don't need substance, only a pretty face.
Just like, those who enter this game instance are indeed all players with good-looking appearances.
I will no longer consider whether this conjecture is correct.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe began to summon the red jade spiders that were still hunting in the town to this room in his mind.
Then, the red spiders were sent to eat the insects still attached to Cheng Li, in order to pull her back from the brink of death.
Rather than Gu Xinghe intending to lend a helping hand to his teammates who were in trouble.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Gu Xinghe is somewhat interested in Cheng Li's current state.
Compared to Fang Jie, who lay beside her, having silently lost consciousness and subsequently died in her sleep.
At this moment, Cheng Li clearly still retained some human consciousness, otherwise she wouldn't have screamed and woken them up.
"Brother Gu, what should we do about Cheng Li now?"
