Fengchi County is very lucky. It has not been invaded by the magic insects so far. The people here have not seen or experienced the horror of the magic insects with their own eyes, but have only heard about it from others. As a result, they only know that the magic insects are scary, but they have no specific concept of how scary they are.
The magic insects are a very distant existence to them and are just a topic of conversation after dinner.
Wei Yuan would often hear adults discussing the demon bugs and brazenly declare, "If I saw a demon bug, I would definitely crush it with one foot!"
When the adults heard this, they all burst into laughter and praised him for his ambition.
This also led to Wei Yuan having no awe of the magic insects at all. He even hoped that the butterfly in front of him was a magic insect, so that after he crushed it to death, he could brag to others that he had killed a magic insect.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.
Just as Wei Yuan's hand reached out to grab the butterfly, a sharp stinger emerged from the tail of the red butterfly, just like the stinger of a bee. The stinger easily pierced his hand, injecting a toxin that paralyzed his body while also injecting the insect eggs stored in his body.
Wei Yuan stood there blankly for just a few seconds. The butterfly flew away, and a woman rushed over. "Yuan'er, Yuan'er, are you okay?"
Wei Yuan's body suddenly spasmed violently, and he scratched his face in pain, "Mom, it hurts, ah——"
I saw pustules all over his face. The pustules were translucent and contained red insect eggs the size of green beans. Not only his face, but other parts of his body were also covered with these pustules.
The australis caused severe pain and itching. The boy scratched it hard and soon his face was scratched and bleeding. The insect eggs in the australis fell to the ground, which was disgusting and terrifying.
The woman tried to stop him, but an insect egg splashed onto her hand and melted into her skin as quickly as snow falling into water. She didn't even notice it.
Watching the child writhing on the ground in pain, she knelt beside him, heartbroken, desperate and helpless: "Yuan'er...someone come and save him...quickly call a doctor..."
After a shrill scream, Wei Yuan became completely motionless. The pustules on his body became more and more swollen, and the worm eggs inside grew bigger and bigger. At the same time, his body quickly shriveled up.
Obviously, these insect eggs devoured his flesh and blood to nourish themselves!
Seeing this tragic scene, everyone was terrified.
"ah!"
"Run!"
"Hurry, drive away!"
"Ah! That butterfly is here again!"
Wei Yuan's mother was still immersed in great grief. At this moment, she felt as if something was about to break out from under her skin. She looked down and saw that the same abscess as the child's had grown on her hand, and she felt a piercing pain and itching.
"Ah!" She screamed and fainted.
At this time, Wei Yuan had turned into a dried corpse, with pustules all over his body, each the size of a longan, and the insect eggs inside also becoming thicker and longer.
The pustules become darker in color and no longer transparent, resembling cocoons.
"Uncle Mu, take Jun'er back. I'll go down and take a look!"
Everything that happened before was too fast and too impactful. Xue Yao was so shocked that he only reacted now. He quickly said something and jumped off the carriage.
"Brother Yao! Come back!" Uncle Mu wanted to pull Xue Yao back, but he ran too fast and was far away in the blink of an eye.
Uncle Mu beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling very embarrassed. He gritted his teeth, whipped the horse and drove the carriage away, "Jun Jie'er, sit tight!"
Xue Jun leaned against the window and only had time to take a quick look before Xue Yao's figure was left behind.
Xue Yao quickly came to Wei Yuan and his mother, and took out a finger-high gourd bottle from his purse. The bottle contained the detoxification pill sent by his sister, which could detoxify most of the poisons. Even if you were not poisoned, you would be fine if you took it.
He didn't know whether Wei Yuan and his mother's condition could be considered poisoning, but he had no other choice at the moment. He poured out two pills from the medicine bottle and fed one to Wei Yuan and his mother respectively.
His hands were shaking when he fed Wei Yuan the medicine, and he was afraid that he would be infected by Wei Yuan and become like him.
Because the distance was a bit far, Xue Yao did not see the insect eggs drill into Wei Yuan's mother's body, and thought that she became like this because she was infected by Wei Yuan.
After taking the medicine, the abscesses on Wei Yuan and his mother's bodies deflated rapidly, and the worm eggs inside also died.
Although Wei Yuan was seriously injured, he was still alive and had not died. His mother was in a better condition than him, at least she still maintained her human form.
It has to be said that Xue Yao's act of feeding medicine was an unexpected success.
The detoxification pill was made from spiritual medicine and contained spiritual energy. After entering Wei Yuan and Wei's mother's bodies, the spiritual energy was absorbed by their bodies. When the insect eggs devoured their flesh and blood, they also absorbed the spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy and demonic energy are two opposing energies. To the demon insects, spiritual energy is poisonous gas. How can they survive by absorbing the poisonous gas into their bodies?
If higher-level insects absorbed a small amount of spiritual energy, they would at most be seriously injured but would not die. However, these insect eggs had not even broken their shells yet and were extremely fragile, so they were wiped out in an instant.
Seeing that the pustules on the two men's bodies had deflated, Xue Yao thought that the detoxification pill had taken effect and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But before he could finish breathing, a hint of red suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.
It's that butterfly!
He wanted to dodge, but the butterfly was too fast. It came in front of him in an instant and landed on his nose.
Xue Yao held his breath for a moment, not daring to breathe. His heart was pounding. It was a very cold day, and a drop of sweat slid down his temple.
The sharp thorns at the end of the butterfly were exposed, just like a poisonous snake showing its fangs. Xue Yao suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Could he become like Wei Yuan?
At this moment, a silver light flashed past my eyes, as fast as a meteor.
Looking again, the butterfly was pinned to the ground by a silver needle. It flapped its wings twice in vain and then died.
What's going on? Who shot this silver needle?
"Yao'er, are you okay?" Xue Huan ran over, pulled Xue Yao up and down to check him, and confirmed that he was fine. Only then did her heart, which had been hanging in the air, fall back to its place.
She was flying her kite over Sanhuan College, planning to land and pick up her younger brother and sister to take them home, but she saw a magic insect land on her younger brother's nose, and she was so scared that the plane almost crashed.
She immediately took Pei Ji and Fei Yuan into the space, controlled the Five Elements Bead to fall to the ground, came out of the space, raised her hand and shot a silver needle over.
Fortunately she arrived in time, otherwise she would have regretted it.
"Sister?" Looking at his sister who seemed to have fallen from the sky, Xue Yao was stunned and surprised.
Xue Huan looked around and asked, "Where's Jun'er?"
"I asked Uncle Mu to send her back first." Xue Yao touched the back of his head, feeling a little guilty.
Xue Huan probably guessed what had happened before and glared at him, "Don't be so reckless next time. What if I hadn't arrived in time and you got hurt by the demon bug?"
Xue Yao naturally agreed without hesitation.
