Chapter 366: Worried
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Guang had originally planned to split up with the feather tribe.
The birds would fly up to kill the worms, while the other beasts would guard the area below the trees and kill all the worms that fell.
Xue Ling found this plan too troublesome. He said, “Just burn them.”
White rock worms were afraid of fire, so setting fire was the simplest and most convenient way.
All the beasts spread out in a circle and surrounded the entire nest.
!!
The ground was already covered in firewood. Xue Ling stood on the firewood. He casually waved his hand and a large fireball appeared.
He lit all the firewood under his feet. The flames instantly burned and quickly spread up the tree trunk. The scorching heat woke the white rock worms from their sleep.
They let out shrill cries and clattered to the ground.
The ground had long turned into a sea of fire. The white rock worms were crackling from the fire and kept twisting their bodies.
Xue Ling spread his wings and flew in the air, looking coldly at the sea of flames below.
Some worms were lucky enough to escape the sea of fire, but they were quickly killed by the beasts guarding the periphery.
In the very center of the nest was a huge coc.o.o.n.
It was soon surrounded by flames as well and was charred black.
With a crack, the white coc.o.o.n cracked open. A pair of fair and slender fingers extended from it. The fingertips were covered in sharp nails.
The hands tore open the white coc.o.o.n, and a graceful female beast crawled out.
She raised her head and looked in Xue Ling’s direction. She bared her teeth and roared angrily!
Xue Ling looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned when he saw the female.
Wasn’t she Yi Wu?!
She was clearly burned to death. How could she still be alive?!
Xue Ling was very stunned.
However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. This female looked exactly like Yi Wu, but her expression and body movements were not like that of a normal beast. Especially when a pair of large gray-white wings that looked like moth wings grew on her back, he was even more certain that this female was not Yi Wu at all!
No, she couldn’t even be called a female!
She was a worm, the queen of these white rock worms!
The insect queen flapped her wings and flew quickly toward Xue Ling.
She was going to kill this enemy who had set fire to her nest!
She was going to tear him apart and feed him to the larvae!
Xue Ling was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and threw a fireball!
…
Huanhuan planned to make a steamed cake for the children. She mixed the beaten eggs into the flour. After mixing them, she poured the batter into the wooden mold she had prepared in advance. Then, she neatly put it in the steamer to steam slowly.
She sat on a small stool and carefully controlled the fire.
Suddenly, with a bang, a stick of firewood exploded. Sparks splattered onto the back of Huanhuan’s hand.
It was so hot that she let out a low cry before quickly rinsing her hand with clear water.
There was a blister on the back of her hand. It hurt.
Huanhuan called the system out as she applied the medicine.
“Little Brat, Xue Ling and Shuang Yun should be fine, right?”
The system was watching cartoons as he comforted her. “Don’t worry, your men are very impressive. They’ll definitely be able to kill those bugs.”
Huanhuan was worried. “But why do I feel very uneasy? I feel that something terrible is about to happen.”
“You’re just worried.”
Huanhuan saw that the blister on the back of her hand had healed automatically. Her self-healing ability was getting stronger.
She washed the medicine off the back of her hand and sat down at a distance from the stove. She looked distractedly at the steamer.
While waiting for the next episode to start, the system looked at Huanhuan. He said, “If you’re really worried, you can use the Prediction Mask to take a look.”
“I’m afraid I’ll see bad results.”
“If there’s a bad outcome, you can take precautions in advance. You might be able to change a bad outcome to a good one?”
Huanhuan perked up. “You mean that even the future seen through the Prediction Mask can be changed?”
“Maybe. I’m not too sure.”
Huanhuan hesitated again and again before deciding to take out the Prediction Mask.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. Then she carefully put the mask on her face.
The moment the mask was pressed against her face, it automatically fitted tightly to her skin as if it was a part of her.
Huanhuan saw a huge moth flying in the sky.
When the moth approached, Huanhuan saw that it was in human form. Its face was identical to Yi Wu’s!
The humanoid moth flapped her huge wings, and countless specks of light flew out from behind her.
Countless beasts rushed toward the moth, wanting to kill it.
When those beasts touched the light specks, they immediately fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
In the blink of an eye, their bodies turned into black pieces of rotten flesh, and small specks of light flew out of them.
When they pa.s.sed in front of Huanhuan, she saw that they were actually little moths.
These little moths seemed to be poisonous. As long as beasts touched them, their bodies would immediately rot and die.
Even so, there were still many beasts charging forward.
It was as if they could not see those ferocious moths and only had eyes for the insect queen.
…
Huanhuan took off her mask and let out a long breath.
The system quickly asked, “How is it? What did you see?”
“I saw a type of insect.”
“What insect?”
Huanhuan described the appearance and ferocity of the moths.
The system thought for a moment. “The moths you saw must be ghost moths. After the white rock worms evolve, they’ll become ghost moths. These moths are extremely small and poisonous. As long as beasts touch them, they’ll immediately rot and die.”
Huanhuan was very nervous. “Did Xue Ling and Shuang Yun encounter the ghost moths?”
“Ghost moths are actually very easy to destroy. Even you can easily kill them with an arrow.”
Hearing this, Huanhuan slowly relaxed. “That’s good…”
Before she could finish, the system continued, “But these ghost moths have a very tricky characteristic. Their bodies are transparent, and ordinary beasts can’t see them at all. The reason they’re called ghost moths is that they’re as ethereal as ghosts. No one can find them.”
Huanhuan was stunned. She remembered what she had just seen through the Prediction Mask.
The sky was clearly filled with ghost moths, but those beasts seemed to be blind. They did not deliberately avoid those ghost moths and continued to charge at the insect queen.
Previously, she thought that those beasts were risking being killed by the ghost moths to kill the insect queen as soon as possible.
From the looks of it, they were actually charging straight ahead because they couldn’t see the ghost moths.
As a result, as they advanced, the beasts fell one after another and died from the ghost moths’ poison.
Huanhuan felt a chill in her heart. “What about Shuang Yun and Xue Ling? They can’t see the ghost moths. Won’t it be dangerous if they encounter them?!”
