"No, impossible! What insectoids? Those are clearly our children, our children!" The man shouted as soon as he heard that these people were going to burn his wife.
“Shut up! Didn’t you notice those worms wriggling around inside your wife’s body? That’s very abnormal. Your wife’s stomach is full of worms. To tell you the truth, your wife probably only has a heart and a shell left. The rest has been eaten. You’d better tell me where they got pregnant.”
"I...I don't know!" Hearing Suiyi say this, the man was obviously frightened. He also remembered his wife's strange behavior recently, and he also felt that something was wrong with him. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hmm?" Sui Yi saw something moving on the man's neck. She flicked her finger, and a silver needle appeared in her hand. She quickly pierced the undulating area on his neck.
"What's wrong?" The others asked suspiciously when they saw Sui Yi's behavior.
“He has it too!” Sui Yi took out a knife and a glass bottle, and gently made a cut on the man’s neck. A white maggot slowly crawled out.
"Ugh..." Upon seeing this scene, Wen Xuerou's face changed, and she ran to the side to vomit. It was too disgusting! Even the Third Prince, Long Chen, couldn't help but feel like vomiting.
"Is this the Zerg?"
“Yes, and they’re not the same as what we’ve seen before. They used to be beetles, but now they’re maggots, and corpse beetles too.” Sui Yi said heavily, realizing that things were much more serious than she had imagined.
"My God, that's disgusting. Tens of thousands of them. Just one of them makes my legs weak, let alone so many densely packed together. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps and makes my hair stand on end." Long Chen rubbed his arms, swallowed hard, and couldn't believe it.
"You're right, so it's best to be mentally prepared!"
Half an hour later, Li Zeyu returned. "Everything has been taken care of. The pregnant women are all here. What's the next step?"
"Okay, you've done a good job. Leave the rest to me!"
Sui Yi walked out and looked at the pregnant women. She felt sad. Men were making women do such things so that they could have offspring.
Sui Yi walked over and looked at these pregnant women. They were all malnourished and looked like walking corpses, with little vitality.
She took out a stick and some spirit stones, and Sui Yi drew and wrote on the ground. Finally, she connected the drawings with a circle to surround the pregnant woman.
After finishing the drawing, Sui Yi looked up at the sky, sighed, and tossed a lightning bead into the circle. It crackled and popped, lightning swirling within. And because of the magnetic field, thunder roared from the sky, bombarding the pregnant women. Those outside the circle looked on with pity, some even cursing Sui Yi and trying to rush in. But amidst the lightning strikes, they didn't hear the women scream; instead, they heard a piercing sound, as if it were coming from something else.
The lightning strike lasted for an hour before gradually extinguishing, leaving behind a large crater covered in marks and specks of black powder. The people and insects had been blasted to smithereens.
"Miss, may I ask what made that sound just now?" a villager asked, approaching in fear.
"Sir, there's nothing special here, just an ordinary thing. By the way, sir, is there anything unusual about this place? For example, do you know why these pregnant women get pregnant?"
"It seems to be because of a well. There's a well south of our village, and drinking the water from that well can make you pregnant. It's probably due to the geography, but women here generally have a hard time getting pregnant. But not long ago, someone discovered that women who drank the water from that well were able to get pregnant, so no one suspected anything; on the contrary, everyone was very happy. We don't know if it's the well that's causing this."
"Can you take us to see it?" Sui Yi and the others exchanged glances and asked the old man if he could take them to see it.
"Alright, follow me!" The old man turned around and led the way. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the well. Looking inside, the well didn't seem special at all; in fact, it was very clear.
Sui Yi used her spiritual power to probe inside, but sensed nothing. She took a ladle from a villager, scooped up a ladleful, and saw some transparent things inside, difficult to see with the naked eye. By shielding her eyes with her spiritual power, Sui Yi could clearly see a layer of tiny beads piled up on top, at least tens of millions of them, all in just one ladleful.
Sui Yi put down the water ladle, looked up at everyone, and said coldly, "This water is basically full of insect eggs."
"Heavens!" Upon hearing Sui Yi's words, everyone took a step back in fright, their faces turning pale.
"I don't know if any of you have drunk the water here. If you have, you must cooperate with the investigation. You know the consequences if you don't." After witnessing the fate of the pregnant women, the men had lost their confidence, their eyes filled with fear and conflict. They didn't want to be examined, yet they didn't want to suffer the same fate as the women.
"Miss, may I ask if we are different from women, can we also be parasitized by this thing?" A man walked over and asked fearfully.
"That's right! Parasitism isn't something you think only happens to women. These worms can burrow into a person's body, eat up the body, and eventually grow up before they eat the person's body and come out."
