Chapter 1253 – Bone
Ji Mo Ya continuously flicked his finger while explaining, “This should be the rare Vampiric Demon Worms. They will latch themselves onto the skin of any human or demon and feed on their blood.”
Huan Qing Yan felt even more disgusted after hearing that.
“Little Phoenix, burn them all!”
The cry of a phoenix was heard as it shot into the sky, its wings and tail coloured its path in fiery red and turned the dark sky crimson.
After circling the sky, it opened its mouth and shot a small bird-shaped flame.
A searing heat was instantly felt.
The flaming bird charged towards the portion with the most concentration of Demon Worms.
“Whoosh…”
The bird disappeared and transformed into an expanding sea of fire!
All Demon Worms that came into contact with the sea of fire would instantly burn!
It was unknown what these Demon Worms ate to develop such plump bodies as it made the flames burn even more robust. A series of sizzling sounds were heard.
An interesting smell started spreading, it was exceptionally fragrant and possessed hints of sweetness and caramelised scent…
“Woah, smells delicious!” Shang Qiu Meng Qian commented.
“That’s right. To think that such an ugly worm can produce such a pleasant smell after being burned. Qing Yan, didn’t you proclaim yourself as a glutton, why not try it?” Nan Gong Bei Cheng made a rare joke.
“Ah pui!” Huan Qing Yan glared at him, “Say that again and I will spit on you!”
The fire sea burned a large number of worms. The surviving worms quickly retreated when they realised the odds were turning against them.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
These ugly worms were extremely troublesome to deal with, forcing them to retreat have saved them from significant troubles.
“Ding! Discovered Precious Ingredient, Soaring Snake Remains. It can be used to make a medicinal food that allows one to resist demonic toxins and can even turn a demon man back into a human!”
The sudden notification from the dimension caused Huan Qing Yan to jump in shock.
“What did you say?”
Huan Qing Yan asked in delight after regaining her composure, “You say that it can turn a demon man back into a human?”
If that is true, then there is hope for Bai Chen Feng to remove his ident.i.ty as a demon man.
Although Huan Qing Yan has been avoiding Bai Chen Feng, the latter has genuinely helped her a lot.
Yet she did not know how she could have repaid him.
If she could help him restore his ident.i.ty, that would be the best.
“Where can I find that… Soaring Snake Remains?” Huan Qing Yan broke into a cold sweat as she discovered that she did not know how to look for the Soaring Snake Remains.
“Is there anything else here?” the dimension made a rare question.
“There is indeed nothing… Ah, you mean these burnt worms?” Huan Qing Yan’s eyes widened.
The demons worms have turned into cinders after being burned.
After receiving a positive reply, Huan Qing Yan slapped her forehead and started collecting them without speaking.
Ji Mo Ya was confused, “Little Yan, why are you collecting it?”
“These things can be considered as… a type of ingredient, it can be useful.”
Huan Qing Yan was unable to say that this could be made into a medicinal food.
Since she would not be the one eating it, heh heh.
Everyone started to help gather the burnt worms. Huan Qing Yan did an estimate at the end and noted that five bowls worth of the worms were collected; she believed it should be enough.
After finishing the task, everyone started heading deeper.
As they walked, they discovered that there were bones everywhere within this palace!
Sections of bones that were mostly shattered, making it hard to determine what lifeform these bones belonged to.
This scene remained constant throughout the journey.
“Pa!” Nan Gong Bei Cheng stepped on one of the bones and broke it.
He was about to make a comment when he saw a dark baby fist-size object falling off from within the bone.
