Chapter 298: The Smaller, the Better

Xuehu Wu, upon hearing this, directly summoned the beastman warrior outside the cave: "Go and sprinkle those potions separately on the eagle eggs."

The beastman warrior took the stone pot from Yuan Lang's hand, went over, and poured the soaked herbal liquid onto it.

Wu Yue didn't even need to look to know that those worms would have no reaction.

At this moment, Yuan Lang felt utterly wronged...

Little female, do you have to be so realistic? I'm worried about your safety—can't you hope for something good from me?

Xiao Bu rubbed against Wu Yue's side, looking at her with some gloom: "Do the shaman and eagle shaman have no life force inside them?"

Wu Yue tilted her head and whispered to Yuan Lang: "If those worms could absorb anyone, they'd probably have already dominated the continent."

Having said that, he explained according to the information Tongzi had just given: "These worms can only absorb the life force of the young who have recently advanced using fierce beast crystal cores; their favorite food is the life force of offspring."

Having said that, he glanced at the three eagle eggs placed in the cave and said: "The smaller, the better."

Yuan Lang, however, thought of something else: "If that's the case, wouldn't a pregnant female be just as dangerous?"

As soon as Yuan Lang's words fell, Wu Yue's body trembled, and she instantly realized it as well.

The two exchanged a glance, and their bad premonition grew stronger.

"I feel like this matter is full of conspiracy."

Wu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to walk toward the cave entrance.

Seeing this, Yuan Lang lifted his foot and followed.

Seeing him approach, Wu Yue helplessly pulled him to her side.

Her whole body was surrounded by a system protective shield that could ward off these parasites' attacks, but Yuan Lang did not have one.

Don't end up not being drained by the parasites but instead being rubbed by that beastman warrior—that would be bad.

Everyone inside the cave was focused on the eagle eggs that had been sprinkled with the herbal liquid, and thus failed to notice the two leaving.

Wu Yue had just stepped out of the cave when her footsteps halted, for she had already seen the trace of those parasites...

Looking at Teng Qian, who stood far away, seemingly unaware and still bragging with the clansmen, Wu Yue turned her head to Yuan Lang beside her and said: "Your vice commander has two of them on his shoulder; the expression of absorbing his life force is simply too enjoyable."

Yuan Lang frowned: "Teng Qian seems fine on the surface."

Wu Yue nodded: "For now there isn't, but later it might not be the case."

He currently only has two parasites on him; later, the parasites inside the cave, smelling his rich life force, will certainly not let such a good meal pass.

Although he usually despises his underlings as if they were dog feces, when it comes to their lives, Yuan Lang still values them quite highly.

Just as he was about to ask the little female if she had any solution, he saw the little female take a glass bottle from her side basket and walk toward Teng Qian.

A smile appeared in his eyes as he followed the little female toward the foolish Teng Qian.

Seeing them approach, Teng Qian hurriedly trotted over, but just as he was a few steps away from Wu Yue, Yuan Lang and Wu Yue simultaneously felt a shock.

Yuan Lang stepped forward to block Wu Yue, looking sternly at Teng Qian: "Step back."

As a close aide who had followed Yuan Lang for many years, Teng Qian naturally noticed the change in them just then, wiped the smile from his face, and retreated backward.

Wu Yue looked at the two worms that had jumped off from Teng Qian's body nearby, steadied her gaze, opened the bottle cap, and quickly sprayed the chili water onto the two worms.
