【1】 Lin Yifan gritted his teeth hard, finally suppressing the incessant urge to vomit!

It wasn't that he didn't want to vomit; he simply dared not be distracted at all.

Because the monster kept advancing toward him, even though the fire's light had already dispersed the mist, the monster still pressed forward.

And when Lin Yifan finally got a clear look at the monster's appearance, a string of information appeared before his eyes.

【Contaminated Maggot Human Bone】

Level: 1

Attack Method: Physical Attack

Special Skill: 【Frenzied Axe Rampage】

(Special Reminder: The Maggot Human Bone is a special monster contaminated by mysterious pollution; to completely destroy it, all the maggots must be burned to ash. Although this monster is dangerous, danger also brings opportunity—it depends on how bold you are!)

Maggot Human Bone?

That name is quite fitting; although this humanoid monster before him barely retains a human shape, it is actually no longer human!

It is a human skeleton covered in countless maggots, and judging by the clothing left on the bones, Lin Yifan could roughly confirm that this monster was the Sexy Little Wildcat he had seen before—the Wild Man.

Because the clothing remaining on his body and the axe he held in his hand both indicated this.

Lin Yifan had once guessed that the so-called Wild Man was a human lost in the Eerie Whisper, turned into a walking corpse.

But now it seems his earlier guess wasn't accurate enough; likely, humans lost in the strange region become walking corpses because these maggots control them.

And the flesh and blood of those lost humans also become nourishment for these maggots.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, all his flesh and blood would be completely devoured?

It seems the crises in this world are countless; the Natural Disaster Crisis is only a part, perhaps this eerie whisper is a more terrifying presence.

Moreover, this thing actually followed him all the way here—what does it want?

Lin Yifan's face grew increasingly grim; he didn't know whether this thing would break into the Shelter.

But he knew that, regardless of whether it could get in, he had to destroy this ghastly thing!

Otherwise, there would be endless trouble!

He clenched his teeth, gripping the machete tightly with both hands, and when the monster came within two meters, he swung without hesitation!

He put nearly all his strength into that strike!

The blade itself weighs over ten catties, and with the added momentum, it can reach about a thousand catties.

He thought that even if faced with a stone slab, he could probably chisel a groove into it!

Let alone, this is merely a skeleton full of maggots.

Lin Yifan was full of confidence, yet strangely, his strike was blocked!

What blocked his strike was precisely the ragged axe held in 'its' hand!

'It' held the axe with one hand, its eyes—eyeballs formed of maggots—staring straight at Lin Yifan.

Although such eyes should be utterly hollow, Lin Yifan felt as if he were locked on, his whole body's cells about to burst.

Most importantly, its strength is tremendous.

Lin Yifan's strike, though not giving his all, still used about seventy percent of his strength!

Yet it merely held the axe with one hand and easily blocked it, causing Lin Yifan's heart to jolt.

But what truly made him feel agitated was not the monster's strength, but the Eerie Whisper suddenly growing louder in his ears.

Earlier, when he entered the darkness, he had brought a Blue Spirit Flower, so although he could still hear the whisper and it would slightly affect him, he had already been able to suppress it with willpower.

But at this moment, that originally faint whisper suddenly amplified several times, as if a speaker were blasting in his ear, instantly making him irritable and restless.

"No, if this continues, danger will surely arise!"

Lin Yifan shook his head hard, suppressing his agitation, and hastily retreated.

He really hadn't expected that, even though he carried a Pure Spirit Flower, he would still be affected!

No, he can't fight in the wild; he must first retreat to the Shelter.

Concerned for his own safety, Lin Yifan hesitated not at all, nor was he stubborn; he decisively turned and retreated into the Shelter.

Yet what he found hard to believe was that, before, merely retreating to the Shelter would make the strange murmuring whisper disappear.

But this time, as he stood inside the Shelter, the whisper that made him agitated, though its volume had dropped considerably, still rang in his ears.

It continually tugged at his reason; although he could stay clear-headed for a short while, if it persisted, he would surely eventually lose his sanity completely.

Lin Yifan abruptly lifted his head, his gaze fixed on the Maggot Human Bone outside the door, his eyes gradually firming.

At the same time, he began to ponder how to completely eradicate this thing.

It is obvious that what controls the Maggot Human Bone is not the bones inside, but the maggots on it.

But the problem is, there are countless maggots—could each maggot be a controller?

Earlier, the information prompt for this thing also stated clearly that all the maggots must be eliminated to completely destroy the Maggot Human Bone.

That means every maggot is a controller!

This really gave Lin Yifan a headache; although his earlier strike was blocked, even if it had landed, it probably wouldn't have caused much damage to this thing.

At most he could only chop a few worms dead, but for such a huge number of worms, the damage would likely be negligible.

Perhaps he could try a fire attack?

Lin Yifan turned, picked up a burning piece of wood from the fire basin, walked to the doorway, and threw the wood toward the Maggot Human Bone.

However, the Maggot Human Bone deflected it with its axe.

But Lin Yifan had anticipated this, so when he earlier picked up the wood, he deliberately chose a piece that was already half-charred.

When the axe struck it, although the main body was split open, the charcoal, being brittle, instantly exploded into a shower of sparks, many of which fell onto the Maggot Human Bone.

Instantly, Lin Yifan saw several maggots that had touched the charcoal fall to the ground and die instantly from the burn!

"Indeed, it fears fire!"

Lin Yifan's eyes lit up; he had been wondering why this thing kept following him.

You should know, when that Sexy Little Wildcat saw it before, although it would also chase people, it could not get close to the Shelter.

But now, it can even stand at the Shelter's doorway, and looking at it, it seems to have no intention of leaving.

Now he has a guess: this thing is probably chasing after the light!

Because all insects have a nature: they like to move toward the light!

Even though their nemesis is fire, as long as they face light and flame, they will still uncontrollably chase after it.

In that case, dealing with this thing isn't so hard after all!
