Chapter 343: Three hundred forty-two, situation Chapter 343: Three hundred forty-two, situation Luo Shu released her own Divine Sense to observe the surroundings and discovered that the number of Corpse Worms was far more nurous and severe than she had imagined. What’s more, many of the Corpse Worms had already mutated.
A Corpse Worm fell from a nearby tree, landing precisely on the neck of Professor Shen, who was chatting with Luo Shu.
Luo Shu was quick to react, and a flick of her hand later, she had caught the Corpse Worm in her grip.
“What happened?” Professor Shen looked at Luo Shu in bewildernt, not understanding what she had just done.
Luo Shu opened her hand to show Professor Shen the Corpse Worm in her palm.
“Corpse Worm! Throw it away quickly, you’ll get bitten,” Professor Shen exclaid in panic, raising his hand to knock the Corpse Worm out of Luo Shu’s hand.
“Professor Shen, haven’t you noticed that this Corpse Worm is very different from the ones you’ve seen before?” Luo Shu dodged Professor Shen’s swatting hand and brought her own hand closer to him so he could get a clear look at the Corpse Worm in her grasp.
Professor Shen examined it carefully, “Why is this Corpse Worm black?” He rembered the Corpse Worms from before were brown.
“It has mutated, and a bite from one of these mutated Corpse Worms results in death,” Luo Shu explained.
Hearing this, Professor Shen’s face underwent a drastic change, “What should we do? Throw it away quickly! Don’t get bitten by it.”
Luo Shu smiled and took out a small glass bottle to contain the Corpse Worm, “It’s perfect for research.”
Professor Shen saw that Luo Shu was not bitten by the Corpse Worm, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, “You’re too bold, girl.” If it were any other girl, she wouldn’t just catch one, she wouldn’t even dare to look at it without screaming.
“Ah! It’s a Corpse Worm!” As if in response to Professor Shen’s thoughts, a piercing scream ca from not far away.
Turning her head, Luo Shu saw a female student panicking and incessantly slapping her own clothes.
The group was brought in front of a few tents that had been hastily set up, which would serve as their temporary shelter.
Luo Shu and five other female students were allocated to the sa tent.
Entering the tent, they saw it was extrely simple inside, with nothing but six sleeping mats.
“Junior Sister, why don’t you choose first?”
“Yeah, you go ahead.” Since Luo Shu had been with Professor Shen the whole ti, everyone was very curious about her identity and didn’t dare to offend her.
Luo Shu smiled at everyone, “You guys choose first.” To her, it didn’t matter where she slept.
“Junior Sister, I heard you’re a freshman, how co you were sent here?” Zhao Ting asked curiously. She didn’t think Luo Shu seed unapproachable or high above others.
“I know so dical skills, and the school found out, so they sent here,” Luo Shu said with a helpless smile. However, the fact that Hanmo was also on this mission was a pleasant surprise to her.
“Oh, I see!” everyone exclaid in realization.
“How do you know Professor Shen?” Wang Yufen asked curiously. Professor Shen was a highly respected senior in the dical community, one of the doctors they as juniors admired the most. Getting to know him was not an easy task. Not to ntion being like Luo Shu, valued by Professor Shen. This much was evident from the way Professor Shen had treated Luo Shu throughout their journey.
“I know a disciple of Professor Shen, and he introduced to the professor,” Luo Shu said with a smile.
“You’re really lucky!”
“Yes! If only I could know Professor Shen and get his guidance, that would be great,” the crowd said with envy.
Luo Shu smiled and did not speak. Once everyone had chosen their beds, she walked over to the remaining one and placed her luggage down. Compared to the others’ nurous bags and packages, her luggage was much simpler, consisting of only a military-green backpack.
“Ah!” A sharp scream rose into the air.
Luo Shu followed the sound and saw Wang Yufen, who had just spoken to her, screaming and pointing at her bed, “There are Corpse Worms! How terrifying!”
The other girls also looked on with horrified expressions, none daring to approach that area.
Luo Shu took out a small glass bottle, stepped forward, and collected the Corpse Worms on the bed, “It’s okay now.”
She released her Divine Sense, took a quick look, and discovered that there were quite a few Corpse Worms in the tent, at least fifty or sixty. She wrapped them with her Divine Sense and with a gentle effort, turned those Corpse Worms into nothingness in an instant.
“Could there be more? I am so scared!” Wang Yufen, pale-faced, looked at her bed and did not dare to get too close.
Luo Shu took out a bottle of dicine powder and handed it to Wang Yufen, “This powder is insect repellent. Apply it, and you’ll be fine.”
Wang Yufen took it with gratitude and looked at Luo Shu, “Thank you!” Regardless of the usefulness of the powder, it gave her a great sense of relief.
“Junior Sister Luo Shu, you are really incredible! Even daring to catch Corpse Worms.”
“Indeed! No wonder Professor Shen values you so much,” the crowd looked at Luo Shu with admiration. Although they applied to co here on their own initiative, their hearts were filled with fear towards this place. They were here, taking a gamble, all for the sake of their future.
After applying the dicine powder given by Luo Shu, everyone felt much more at ease. They even started to feel interested in chatting, and as ti passed, they gradually beca familiar with each other.
“Dinner is ready. Please co to the main tent in the camp area to eat,” a loud announcent ca from outside.
The crowd, who were engrossed in their conversation, realized upon hearing the announcent that it was already evening without them noticing.
“Let’s go! Let’s have dinner.”
“I didn’t realize it while we were chatting, but now that you ntion it, my stomach is nearly caving in with hunger,” they joked and walked out of the tent.
By the ti Luo Shu and the others arrived at the main tent, it had already gathered a lot of people.
Everyone queued up, holding their al boxes, waiting for their turn to serve themselves.
“Shushu, I’ve already collected your dinner. Co and eat,” Lu Hanmo’s voice transmitted to Luo Shu’s ears.
Luo Shu looked towards where Lu Hanmo was sitting, gave him a light smile, said a quick word to the people beside her, and walked over to him.
“Let’s go outside to eat,” Lu Hanmo said to Luo Shu as he walked outside after seeing her approach.
With a light smile, Luo Shu followed Lu Hanmo’s steps. With so many people around, they naturally had to keep a low profile.
The two found a deserted corner, stepped into a space, and had their al by the Spiritual Spring Pool. After eating, they leaned on each other and started to chat.
“Let’s go explore tonight,” Luo Shu suggested. Being with him, she suddenly beca interested in the events of this trip. Whether the Corpse Worms were cultivated by a True Cultivation Sect or for so other reason, they decided to investigate their source first.
