After hearing Bi Xie's words, Luo Ling's mouth moved as she stared blankly at him. She had never heard of a plague before.
Yu Feng looked at Bi Xie with a gloomy expression for a while, then a relaxed smile appeared on his lips. "Sister, A Xie is right. If Chang Hao doesn't die, our lives won't be peaceful. I killed him not to save the continent, but to protect you!"
“Even if Chang Hao is now a four-star soul beast, he will definitely be the one to die if he fights me, so you don’t need to worry, sister.”
Yu Feng and Bi Xie had made up their minds. Luo Ling choked up, lowered her head, and said nothing more.
Bi Xie walked over, embraced the quietly grieving Luo Ling, and said gently, "Luo Ling, you won't be alone. Yu Feng and I will always be by your side. After we defeat Chang Hao, we'll find a secluded forest and live a good life..."
Luo Ling's eyes were red, and tears were falling drop by drop, as if she had become the little female who loved to cry when they first met.
"Chu Xie, the Songshan Bird Clan killed... my, my Ada," Luo Ling cried, sobbing uncontrollably. "My mother, my mother is dead too, sob sob, I can't lose you and Afeng too..."
Upon hearing this, a fleeting, almost imperceptible emotion flashed in the boy's dark green eyes.
Luo Ling cried for a long time. She looked like a person made of water, with tears falling continuously. The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became.
Bi Xie suggested taking her to pick wild fruits and flowers, and she slowly stopped crying.
The routes in the Bone Forest are complicated, but Bi Xie often went with Yu Feng to pick wild fruits and passed through several paths.
She remembered that if they were picking red cherries, they should take the left path, but Yu Feng solemnly led them down another path.
A putrid, stench seemed to linger in the air, faintly mixed with a nauseating smell of blood.
Bi Xie understood instantly.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the three of them still found several incomplete corpses on the snow.
These corpses were missing arms or legs, and the tenderest flesh on their chests, abdomens, and waists seemed to have been ripped off. Several fingers had also been sucked off. Around the corpses, many small black insects, similar in size to ladybugs, crawled.
Tiny black insects burrowed in and out of the corpse's head, eyes, and ears, forming a dense layer that stood out against the snow like ink splattered on it.
Luo Ling gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the wriggling black worms on the ground. "They...they're moving..."
"Don't go near them!" Yu Feng stared intently at the small black insects devouring the flesh and blood of the orcs on the snow, a sense of crisis suddenly rising in his heart.
These tiny black insects were very small, some as big as a fingernail and others as small as a thumbnail, but they seemed to have a mind of their own. As Yu Feng and his companions approached, some of the black insects began to crawl toward them.
These tiny black insects are small in size, but they crawl extremely fast.
"Back off!" Yu Feng shouted in a low voice. The three of them, working in perfect unison, transformed into their beast forms and ran towards the forest behind them.
However, a terrifying scene unfolded...
These tiny black insects had grown transparent, wing-like wings and red antennae. They flew into the sky, gathered into a dense, black mass, and chased after the group.
Holy crap! What the hell is that?!
Seeing that the two were moving too slowly, Yu Feng stopped and said urgently, "Get on!"
Seeing the approaching army of black insects, Bi Xie and Luo Ling jumped onto Yu Feng's back in alarm.
Encountering the wind, its speed doubled again, finally shaking off the swarm of black insects behind it.
They didn't even bother picking wild fruit; the three of them went straight back to the cave.
On their way back to the cave, the three saw these small black insects twice more. Wherever these small black insects appeared, there would definitely be orc corpses.
Thump, thump
Luo Ling's heart was pounding. The thought of those tiny black insects crawling in and out of the orcs' bodies gave her goosebumps.
"Yu Feng, what are these little black bugs? Are they dangerous?" Bi Xie's face also turned a little pale.
A single black insect is not scary, but a dense swarm is terrifying.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before," Yu Feng had a vague sense of unease. "It seems that the Bone Forest is not safe either. Let's pack up the food tonight and go find Chang Hao first thing tomorrow morning."
Bi Xie nodded, and Luo Ling, who was a little slow to react, followed Bi Xie into the cellar.
On the night before leaving the Forest of Dead Bones, Bi Xie finally made contact with Ru Hua.
"Waaah, host, I'm finally out of that dark room! I'm so heartbroken, I have so much to say, waaah! Did you miss me, host?"
Bi Xie was completely bewildered: "The dark room? Who locked you up? The Ghost Cultivator? Why did he lock you up?"
Ru Hua whimpered, "Because I made the host transmigrate into a wild boar! The Ghost Cultivator never bothered with these little things before. I've made mistakes before, and the Ghost Cultivator never punished me. I never expected that this time the Ghost Cultivator would lock me in a dark room. Waaah, I'm so wronged, I want to cry."
Bi Xie listened expressionlessly to Ru Hua's rambling, pointless chatter. After she finished her fake crying, she directly asked the question that concerned her, "Help me check what the big boss's current corruption level and happiness level are?"
Ru Hua: "...Host, you don't care about me at all. We've been separated for so long..."
Bi Xie sighed, "Stop! Why are you, a robot system, getting involved in so many complicated human emotions? Isn't it better to just be a simple system?"
"On the surface, it's like being locked in a dark room, but if you look on the bright side, haven't you not worked for a long time?"
Just as Ru Hua was about to accuse Bi Xie of being cold-blooded and ruthless, she was stunned. It seemed... that made sense?
Although it made sense, once Ru Hua, who had been locked up for so long, started talking, it was truly earth-shattering and shocking. However, Bi Xie still managed to extract some useful information from the pile of nonsense.
For example, Yu Feng's current corruption level is 55, and his happiness level is 87.
For example, the giant snake named Changhao recently strolled around the bird tribe in Songshan and is now heading north to the wild horse tribe.
For example, those little black insects actually have a name: they're called dead moths.
Chang Hao's ever-growing appetite was also related to these dead women.
Chang Hao somehow swallowed the dead woman, E'ehuang. E'ehuang took up residence in his body, gradually taking over his mind and turning his body into a huge breeding farm, constantly hatching and laying eggs inside...
Bi Xie, not understanding, asked, "How can Ehuang lay eggs by herself? Does she reproduce asexually?"
That's incredible! One insect has spawned an entire Zerg army.
Ru Hua chuckled mischievously, "No, although Ehuang can reproduce asexually, she doesn't lay eggs entirely through asexual reproduction. Ehuang can freely emerge from that giant snake's body, transform into a female, and then have some fun with that giant snake, hehehe..."
