Ye Li was intently inspecting the resource pile.
Suddenly, he seemed to catch something unusual out of the corner of his eye.
The male corpse, which should have been motionless, seemed to tremble slightly!
Ye Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly shifted his gaze back to the corpse.
At the same time, the little stone monkey that had been guarding Ye Li seemed to have sensed something and pointed at the male corpse, chirping twice.
"Master, there's something strange about this corpse!"
Before the little stone monkey could finish speaking, the male corpse suddenly stood up.
"Roar~"
The male corpse's mouth opened wide as if torn apart, and a shrill, inhuman roar erupted from deep within its throat.
At the same time, a pitch-black object rapidly emerged from the male corpse's mouth.
Ye Li saw it clearly; it was indeed the head of an ugly insect.
"What the hell!"
The sudden turn of events and the eerie, dark surroundings still made Ye Li, whose mental fortitude had been honed through countless trials, tremble with fear.
But Ye Li had experienced countless big events and reacted extremely quickly.
With a sudden swing of his right hand, a longsword of energy, gleaming with brilliant light, materialized out of thin air.
Ye Li raised his sword and chopped off the male corpse's head.
The worms in the male corpse's mouth shot straight toward Ye Li like cannonballs.
However, before it could get close, the little stone monkey beside it had already brandished its black iron cudgel.
He knocked him to the ground with a single blow, smashing him to pieces.
The insect's body was like a smashed watermelon, broken into pieces.
White pus and blood splattered everywhere.
"Chirp chirp?"
Master, are you alright?
The little stone monkey looked at Ye Li and asked with concern.
"It's alright!"
Ye Li shook his head, broke off a short stick from the nearby woods, and walked to the insect's corpse.
I carefully poked the dead insect.
The insect looked a bit like a cockroach.
However, they are uglier and more disgusting than cockroaches.
"Can this be collected?"
Ye Li muttered to himself, hesitated slightly, and then reached out his finger to carefully poke a relatively clean spot on the insect's body.
The notification sound did not ring in my ears.
However, in the next instant, all the information about this insect flooded into Ye Li's brain's knowledge base.
Corpse Gu Worm
[Note: This is a type of parasite. When it bites its prey, it buries its eggs in the wound through its saliva. Upon contact with blood, the eggs hatch within half an hour to an hour and absorb nutrients from the prey to grow.]
When prey loses its value, insects will mostly emerge from their bodies to find new prey and continue laying eggs.
[Warning: This insect is extremely dangerous. If you encounter it, do not have any direct contact with it.]
"Huh? What if we've made contact?"
Ye Li hurriedly raised the finger that had been in contact with him and took a look.
On his fingers, a layer of milky white, fine, powdery substance was slowly wriggling.
Those strange things seemed to be trying their best to tear through the dragon scale armor on his body.
"These must be the larvae of the Corpse Gu Worm, right? There are so many just from touching them?"
Ye Li hurriedly mobilized the energy in his body to remove all the insect eggs stuck to his fingers.
