“Aiyo, why are there ropes hanging here? It’s so annoying to have your neck tickled.” Beitang Lie’s attention was completely focused on the box. He did not notice anything amiss.
Beitang Lie smacked away the worms and continued to study the box.
The worms had never been treated like this before. They immediately attacked Beitang Lie with their tails, sweeping across his face, neck, and back.
At first, Beitang Lie only shrugged his shoulders and moved back. However, the worms became increasingly outrageous. Furious, he suddenly grabbed a worm. He roared angrily, “Ahhhh, so annoying!”
Beitang Lie gave a forceful tug, not expecting the rope to be so easily pulled off by him!
Something heavy landed on his body, causing Beitang Lie’s flashlight to fall to the ground. The light shone upwards, and he finally saw what was wrapped around his body. A worm thicker than a snake!!
The worm’s body wriggled slightly. It raised its head to look at Beitang Lie. Suddenly, its head split open, revealing bright red flesh and sharp teeth.
Beitang Lie nearly exploded at the sight!
“Ahhhh! Help!” He screamed like he was about to have a breakdown. All the scales on his body popped out and he instinctively pulled hard, tearing the worm off his body!
But as he tore at it, tiny worms the size of grains gushed out of its wounds.
The dense swarm of worms squirmed and wriggled. Beitang Lie felt nauseous and screamed as he shook them off.
“Hiss—!” The other worms hanging on the ceiling beam also opened their jaws and charged straight at him.
“Beitang Lie, get down!” Chi Jiao rushed over when she heard his scream. She took out a special pistol and aimed it at the worms’ heads, firing several shots!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The special silver needles flew out and hit the worms, causing them to screech and lose their ability to move.
But before Chi Jiao could heave a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly appeared from the darkness behind her.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the sharp dagger in the figure’s hand. Chi Jiao dodged to the side and looked at the petite figure in surprise. She was surprised. “A child?”
Chi Jiao couldn’t see clearly. Seeing the child turn around with a dagger in his hand, she flashed her torchlight at his eyes.
“Ah…!” How could someone who had been in the darkness for so long endure the sudden glare of the torchlight beam? The child screamed.
But his voice was deep and hoarse. He didn’t sound like a kid, but more like an adult man.
By now, Chi Jiao could clearly see the person in front of her. He was short and had short limbs. His figure was deformed as if he had a child’s body but with an adult’s face.
Chi Jiao was shocked.
‘The Esper behind Fang Xiaowei was a dwarf!
Chi Jiao recalled the child’s handprint on the neck of Fang Xiaowei’s corpse. Her mind raced as she linked all the information together. She turned around and kicked the male dwarf.
The male dwarf’s figure was strange, but he was very nimble and good at dodging. He took a step back and said arrogantly, “Your weak capabilities are nothing to me… You won’t be able to hit me!”
