Chapter 151: Will This Evolve?

Last time, Li Yifan was able to easily kill that Maggot Human Bone only because he was inside the Shelter, while the Maggot Human Bone could not enter the Shelter, so he could exploit a bug to kill it.

But here it's different; this is not his Shelter, and in fact it is the Shelter of the Maggot Human Bone.

Moreover, he had no flammable oil left on him, making it impossible to burn a large flame to kill this thing!

What should we do?

To flee or not to flee?

Lin Yifan was somewhat hesitant; he had just seen that the Shelter contained many items, most of which were materials.

Some of those materials are exactly what he urgently needs now, such as glass and ceramic, and he really hates to part with them.

If he had fuel or alcohol, maybe he could still give it a shot!

Li Yifan hesitated a moment, then immediately sent a message to his familiar contacts:

"Help me collect some alcohol or fuel, urgently needed!"

Even Father of God sent this message; to be honest, though this guy is not much, his methods are somewhat effective!

Moreover, his current stock is not small either!

Because Ruan Qingtian and He Shaoqiang both replied that they would go purchase immediately!

Only he actually initiated a trade message directly.

And the trade item was exactly a large bottle of alcohol!

Lin Yifan also didn't stand on ceremony; he decisively prepared to accept the trade.

However, he ultimately fell short by a step; he hadn't yet confirmed the trade when the Maggot Human Bone lunged at him!

Dense maggots in the air emitted a creepy "shasha" sound, like countless tiny teeth grinding.

Lin Yifan quickly retreated, simultaneously pulling an iron axe from his backpack and fiercely chopping at it!

"Pfft!"

The axe blade cut into the maggot mass, instantly splitting a gap, but the next second the maggots quickly writhed, refilling the gap as if unharmed!

"Damn it!" Lin Yifan cursed silently; this thing simply fears no physical attack!

It is exactly the same as the Maggot Human Bone he encountered before, and as that group of Xuan Snake Clan people!

No, although this thing fears no physical attack, compared to the Xuan Snake Clan people, his attack still has some effect.

At least he can chop off a few worms!

Although it's basically useless, it's still better than nothing!

However, trying to wear this thing down to death with just that is utterly impossible!

So he still must find fuel!

Lin Yifan looked around; he was still inside the Shelter, though he had previously been in the living room and now was forced into a small room.

Moreover, the Maggot Human Bone's vision seemed problematic; it actually failed to notice him at first!

Lin Yifan realized this, quickly leaned against the wall, hiding himself in a blind spot.

Then he immediately opened Father of God's private chat channel:

"Quick! Give me the alcohol! I'll owe you a favor!"

Father of God also had no hesitation, gladly sending over the alcohol again in a trade.

This time, the trade was finally completed successfully!

The alcohol isn't much, about 1000 milliliters!

But it's enough, after all, alcohol's combustibility far exceeds that of animal fat.

But there is still a problem: how to splash the alcohol onto the Maggot Human Bone.

This thing reacts extremely quickly; if he just splashes it straight on, success is absolutely impossible!

So he must think of a way!

Lin Yifan thought, and suddenly recalled the few ordinary black robes he had previously collected.

Although he had given a few away, he knows few people, so he still has two or three left.

Thinking the fabric was decent, throwing it away would be a waste, and keeping it for future favors would also be good, so he placed them in his storage space.

Now it happens to be just right to take them out for use!

After taking out the black robe, he evenly poured the alcohol over it, soaking the robe completely.

The black robe's absorbency is average; it only soaked up half the alcohol before it began to overflow.

Alcohol is an important medical item; when injured, it can be used to save lives, so wasting it is naturally unacceptable.

Lin Yifan put the remaining alcohol into his storage, then quietly lifted the alcohol-soaked black robe to peek at the Maggot Human Bone.

The Maggot Human Bone had not left; it remained standing motionless in the living room.

After observing it for a moment, to prevent any mishap, Lin Yifan took out a piece of wood and quickly threw it at the Maggot Human Bone.

The wood wasn't thrown with great force, but it still counted as an attack, capable of drawing the Maggot Human Bone's attention.

Fortunately, Lin Yifan's plan went smoothly!

Sure enough, the Maggot Human Bone's attention was drawn by the wood, and it swiftly dodged to the left!

Seeing its movement trajectory, Lin Yifan immediately threw the black robe in his hand preemptively to the left!

The black robe had a certain delay in the air, but it still managed to cover the Maggot Human Bone successfully; moreover, because the robe's area was large enough, Lin Yifan, before running over, deliberately unfolded it as much as possible.

Thus the black robe ended up draped head‑to‑toe over the Maggot Human Bone.

"Whoosh—"

Seeing his plan succeed, Lin Yifan didn't dare hesitate even a bit; he quickly pulled out a lighter, lit it, and threw it at the Maggot Human Bone!

"Boom!"

The alcohol's explosiveness caused the flames to ignite instantly over the maggot mass.

A burnt smell filled the air, maggots writhed wildly in the fire, making a 'hiss-hiss' sound.

Lin Yifan let out a breath of relief, but just then he suddenly realized that the maggots' heat resistance seemed different!

They actually began to actively detach from the burning parts, the remaining maggots quickly regrouped and continued to advance on him!

"This thing is even harder to deal with than last time!"

Lin Yifan broke out in a cold sweat; he had to find a way to completely eliminate it, or else he might not escape today!

Looks like the remaining half bottle of alcohol can't be kept!

Lin Yifan gritted his teeth in pain, quickly took out the remaining half bottle of alcohol, and while the Maggot Human Bone was burning, its movement slowed.

He rushed over, poured the entire half bottle of alcohol onto the Maggot Human Bone, and also splashed some on the ground.

Then he lit the lighter again and flung it over!

"Boom—"

This time, the flames shot up into the sky, and the entire interior of the Shelter was illuminated by the firelight!

The maggots twisted wildly in the flames, emitting a sharp hissing sound, as if countless tiny creatures were screaming.

The intense heat of the flames prevented them from regrouping; they could only be burned to ash bit by bit!

The maggots that fell to the ground were also burned to ash by the alcohol.

Lin Yifan retreated to the doorway, warily watching the burning flames, and only when the last maggot was turned to charcoal did he finally let out a relieved breath.
