Just as I was thinking of having Lei Jijian take action, that way at least we could come out and deal with these sea scabies worms.
But before the lightning sword could recover, the scene before me completely stunned me.
The first scabies worm to swallow the pearl suddenly started making a loud noise without any warning!
Its body exploded like thunder.
One after another, the two eyeballs burst out of their already wide-open eye sockets.
After the eyeballs split open, the monster's tentacles also broke off one after another.
This giant scabies worm, which was over 3 meters tall, was instantly covered in sores.
Its body was riddled with holes of all sizes, from which large gushes of purplish-red liquid gushed out.
I don't know if it was pus or the monster's blood, but the sticky, disgusting state really made me feel a little nauseous.
Honestly, if this had been placed on the ground instead of in the Dragon Palace, I probably would have vomited by now.
Not only that, after the scabies worm's body and eyes burst open, its head began to bleed uncontrollably.
This unusual scene captivated me and Yiyi.
Even the swarm of scabies mites that were attacking us seemed to slow down, and began to glance at the victim with sluggish movements.
I was startled and asked Yiyi if these sea scabies mites, these beasts, also had a sense of companionship.
Have they forgotten about us?
That would be wonderful if it were really like that.
Listening to the girl's explanation, it became clear that although the scabies worms would stop at nothing to fill their stomachs and acted with extreme brutality.
However, they do possess some basic intelligence.
It's not like a paramecium, merely maintaining basic activities.
The Dragon Palace is home to many wondrous creatures, and it's not surprising that the monsters, having obtained some essence and energy, possessed basic reflexes.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, even though he has a brain, a beast is still a beast after all!
Then I discovered an even more terrifying phenomenon.
The head and swollen belly of that scabies worm, riddled with holes, also broke off without warning!
Peng!
A deeper, more muffled roar came from underwater as the swollen belly of the sea scabies worm burst open.
As its belly burst open, the sea worm's internal organs also spilled out.
A pool of even darker red blood bloomed in the seawater, as if blood-red paint had been spilled in the water.
Its internal organs kept gushing out in clumps, then slumped heavily into the deeper seabed.
Even Yiyi, standing to the side, looked disgusted, frowning and slowly shaking her head.
Given how badly damaged it is, it's unlikely that Yiyi can effectively utilize the power within the scabies worm's corpse!
But that's not the point. The important thing is that the current situation seems to be improving.
I quickly told Yiyi not to hesitate and to try her best to "fill up" the remaining scabies mites in front of her.
Yi Yi was puzzled at first, then pouted with a hint of regret.
"Brother, you'll have to find me other sources of energy!"
The girl's face held a hint of pleading, which only made me happier.
If things went according to my plan, these insects would probably be doomed!
However, I can't afford to replenish my energy right now; as long as I'm in this Dragon Palace, there are plenty of sea scabies mites.
If you get greedy for this group, you'll end up becoming a feast for the insects, and that would be a complete waste!
We don't need this energy.
I agreed to find energy supplies for Yiyi, and then I took out a handful of pearls.
Yiyi was also a little reluctant, but she continued to pick up the beads with me and stuff them into the gaping maws of these monsters.
You little beast, didn't you want to eat your dad? Well, now you can eat your fill!
In no time at all, the scabies mites in front of us started nibbling at our heads one after another, and Yiyi and I fed them one after another.
There's not much needed. The small beads stored in this mirror, though they look tiny and exquisite, change completely when you hold them in your hand.
As if reacting with seawater, the bubbles swelled to the size of a palm.
Goodness, at first I was worried that about 1,000 of them wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap!
It's no wonder that the girl and I managed to get this little trinket so easily from inside the seashell.
It's so easy to use!
A smile crept onto my face. I figured that once this bead was inside the mouth and stomach of the scabies worm, it would undergo some further changes.
Each time you encounter a new environment, you should grow larger or smaller in order to cope with the new situation!
Seashells are soft and small, while seawater is larger.
Following this line of thought, one can only imagine how disgusting and degrading the environment inside the monster must be!
I couldn't help but swallow hard, and tentatively put two of the scabies worms into the mouths of each of them.
Before I could finish what I was doing, the body of the second scabies worm in the distance showed the same appearance as the first one.
First, the eyeballs and tentacles broke open, oozing pus and blood...
Then, the entire head was sprayed down, almost cutting it in half.
Its round, bulging belly looked like a balloon that had been ripped open with a knife, with its intestines and kidneys bursting open in the water.
This is in the water; if it were on land, you'd probably get splashed.
I continued to fight back, disgusted by the nauseating smell of blood mixed with seawater.
Not long after, the rows of insects that had been piled up around us collapsed one after another, bursting out with blood-red pus.
The pus, entrails, and seawater mixed together created an incredibly foul stench.
Seeing the scabies mites beside her fall down, Yi Yi looked distressed.
"What? Can energy be extracted from the corpse of this sea scabies worm?"
I noticed something was off about Yiyi.
"Brother, these guys are in a good state right now, but their internal bodies are all damaged."
I nodded and told her that it must be some special reaction caused by the insect entering the bead.
"It must be that the beads entered the sea worm's body and grew larger, disrupting the air pressure and space inside the creature. With two or three beads inside its stomach, it was literally stuffed to death!"
The girl's tone was also slightly surprised.
When I heard this, my eyes widened in amazement that Yiyi knew even these things.
Yiyi explained that she had seen similar phenomena before.
However, those who can kill them with such cruel and terrifying methods are basically powerful ability users.
After all, the scabies mites appeared as a balancing force in the manor.
Without immense strength, it would be impossible to stand out among all creatures, let alone balance his power with that of the Huang family.
Even more terrifying was the dull rumbling sound that came from their bodies before they died—one of which was the sound of air being compressed as if they had exploded inside.
Secondly, it's also a signal to summon other scabies mites!
