Lord Zhang Fei

464 Devil’s Bugs [I]

Seeing that the third son’s injury had stopped, Boss Cao immediately took out a long gown and put it on the third son’s body. He saw a few corpses of the slapped insects stuck to Xiaosanzi’s body, and the rest had already fallen to the ground and fled.

“What kind of bug is this?” Boss Cao couldn’t help picking one out with his fingernails and holding it in front of his eyes for inspection. He saw that the bug was the size of a fingernail, with a hard shell, a slightly pointed head, and a slightly rounded tail. The eyes were almost invisible, but the pair of teeth on the mouth were very abrupt.

Lu Xiaolong was also quite puzzled, he didn’t know what kind of insects would come out of the body of a living person. Seeing a live bug crawling away on the ground, Lu Xiaolong immediately raised his hand and sucked it, a strong suction immediately sucked the bug to Lu Xiaolong’s eyes.

“It’s the devil insect. Everyone spread out, don’t let the devil insect get close.” Lu Xiaolong and Tang Fei couldn’t help exclaiming at the same time, and they leaped several meters high at the same time.

“Devil insects?” Mr. Cao and everyone couldn’t help but feel chills all over their bodies when they heard this.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: “Could it be that the poison in us is not poison, but the devil insects have entered our bodies?”

As soon as these words came out, the members of these demon organization couldn’t help trembling all over.

Demonic insects were actually not a kind of monsters, but parasites that live under the scales of the dragon demon clan, and live by sucking the blood of dragons. While this kind of bug sucks blood, it would also feed back a kind of stimulant to the cortex of the dragon demon’s body through the sucker.

This stimulant could effectively stimulate the potential of the dragon family and improve the body’s resistance. Therefore, the Dragon Clan didn’t mind living with this parasite.

.....

On the dragon demon, this kind of bug had a very gentle temperament. However, without the nourishment of dragon blood, this kind of parasite would become violent. No matter it was a human or a demon, as long as it crawls on the body, it will immediately burrow into the skin and suck a lot of flesh and blood. Breed, break through the host’s body and go. And the host had only one dead end. There was no cure.

On the contrary, if the monster insects that escaped from their hosts could not find another host, they would only survive for a day or two before starving to death.

In the history of the Sacred Spirit Continent, there have been two major outbreaks of this kind of bugs among humans, and each time the number of humans had been reduced by nearly half. Therefore, human beings were all dismayed by this kind of monsters.

Fortunately, this kind of monsters only affected the beast dragons, far away in the cold extreme north. If it wasn’t for the deliberate actions of the Dragon Demon Clan, there wouldn’t be a massive outbreak.

Because of this, the members of the demon organization trembled in fright after hearing that they might have been infiltrated by demon insects. The timid ones even collapsed on the ground, unable to get up again.

Someone couldn’t help saying in horror. “No. Impossible. If the devil insects entered the body, wouldn’t we have already been dead?”

“Yes. Yes.” Immediately someone echoed in horror, but the voice didn’t sound convincing at all.

“It’s the dragon’s blood.” Boss Cao couldn’t help sighing. “It seems that the antidote we get every time is diluted dragon’s blood. It’s dragon’s blood that is used to appease the devil insects so they won’t explode inside our bodies.”

When everyone heard the words, they all froze in place. Yes, Boss Cao’s words were enough to explain all the problems. The world was so big, but only dragon blood could restrain the outbreak of monster insects.

After a long time, Boss Cao couldn’t help staring at him, and asked the third son, “Little Sanzi, how do you feel now? Is there any abnormality in your body?”

Little Sanzi touched his body, felt it again, and shook his head slightly, and said, “It seems like I can’t feel anything.”

Boss Cao said happily when he heard the words. “It seems that this Buddhist bead has a very good effect on repelling evil insects.”

“Yes, it looks like we’re saved. We’re saved.” Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and started discussing one after another.

Then, Boss Cao took two steps forward and knelt down on the ground, and said to Lu Xiaolong: “Hero, we are forced to join forces with the demons. If a hero can save us from fire and water, we will obey the orders of all heroes. Fight the demons to the end.”

Lu Xiaolong nodded his head in mid-air, and said, “My Three Realms Hall is bound to destroy the Demon Organization, are you willing to sincerely help?”

“Of course I am willing. It’s just...” After a moment of pondering, Boss Cao couldn’t help saying. “It’s just that although we can be free, our family is still under the control of the demon organization. I wish all heroes can help us save our family from them.”

“Well, this is natural. You and I are human beings, and the more the people, the more the power to fight against the demons. It is also our responsibility to save your family.”

Boss Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words: “Thank you hero for saving me.” After saying that, he bowed to Lu Xiaolong three times, and everyone behind him knelt down and kowtowed.

Lu Xiaolong waved his hand and said. “Okay, since that’s the case, then you should push out the devil insects in order first. Be careful not to let the monster insects escape and spread, harming other humans and animals.”

Boss Cao nodded immediately, thank you again and again. Only then did everyone line up in order, and the fire-type spiritual master lit a big fire on the ground to prevent the spread of the monsters. At the same time, everyone took Buddha beads in their mouths one by one, took off their clothes and sent out insects inside the fire circle.

The reason why they had to take off their clothes was also because they saw Sanzi tearing his clothes to pieces in pain. And everyone was also afraid that those expelled monsters would hide in their clothes and get into their bodies again.

In this way, after nearly an hour, seeing that everyone had finished expelling the insects, Boss Cao was the last one to jump into the ring of fire.
