Chapter 42 – Terrifying Beetles
No life could be found on the streets, but Wei Xiao Bei could see that the streets had beco worse. So brick walls had even been eroded by the wind; as the wind blew, the ash gray brick wall continued to crumble, becoming dust.
According to this trend, it would not even take a few years before the place beca a complete ruins.
Only a murky light shone on the streets, making him indescribably downcast.
This mood disappeared only after he reached Lake Cui.
Fifty ters away from the Fishman Village, Wei Xiao Bei carefully hid himself but was shocked as he observed a the huge change in the Fishman Viallge.
A thick stench of blood floated in the air. Traces of the Fishman Guards at the entrance of the village could not be seen.
From what he could see, there were countless Fishn corpses on the ground in the village. More than 10 Fishn were currently aimlessly wandering about like a group of zombies.
What happened here?
Unease began to creep up his mind.
When he quietly reached the entrance of the Fishn Village, he carefully stretched his head to take a look. What he saw made his face ashen.
Wei Xiao Bei could recognize the Fishn that were aimlessly moving about.
Actually he could only differentiate them from their body types. There were normal Fishn, an Elite Fishman and even a Fishman Guard.
The only reason he recognized them was from the wound on their backs!
For example, the Elite Fishman’s chest was caved in while its back was slightly protruding. Another Fishman had a wound that seed to be caused by a pitchfork, the blood had dried and countless mosquitoes had assembled on it.
Without a doubt, these were the Fishn that died in Wei Xiao Bei’s hands.
He beca confused.
They had already died!
How could they have resurrected?
After carefully observing for a while, he ca to a conclusion. These Fishn did not revive. From their stiff movents and unconscious pacing, it was clear that they had beco zombies.
The thought had given Wei Xiao Bei goosebumps and a chill spread through his body.
Moreover, these Fishn were the ones he lured out using the Fiendish Man Fish at!
Actually, making such inference was simple, and anyone with a normal IQ would also co to the sa conclusion.
The Fishn corpses becoming zombies might be because they ate the Fiendish Man Fish at, and they were the cause of the destruction of the Fishn Village.
Those Fiendish Man Fish were indeed a bit strange, so Wei Xiao Bei would not doubt it if this were truly the cause.
Wei Xiao Bei however, did not leave even after witnessing such a scene. On the contrary, he picked up a rock, tossed it inside the Fishn Village, and observed for any movents.
The rock had hit a simple wooden house, letting out a small sound.
Although it was not loud, it had still attracted the Fishn corpses’ attention.
Wei Xiao Bei had temporarily nad them as Fishman Corpses.
These Fishman Corpses began to slowly surround the wooden house from where the sound ca from.
The Fishn only looked scary due to the large wound on their back, but their walking speed was not even half of normal Fishn. Moreover, they were extrely clumsy to the point that one of the Fishman Corpses tripped on a corpse on the ground and fell down. It struggled on the ground for a while before getting back up with great difficulty.
Wei Xiao Bei beca even more suspicious after seeing this scene.
The number of Fishn in the village should have exceeded the number of Fishman Corpses. Moreover, these Fishman Corpses were slow. It would be a huge joke if they were actually be a threat those energetic Fishn.
No matter how gutless those Fishn were, it would be impossible for them to offer no resistance and allow the Fishman Corpses to kill them.
Maybe two Fishman Guards would already be enough to kill the Fishman Corpses.
This was all just too strange.
After assembling around the wooden house, the Fishman Corpses stood there blankly for a while before wandering all over the place again.
In the end, a Fishman Corpse began to slowly walk towards the village entrance.
Wei Xiao Bei tightly grasped the pitchfork in his hand. He would never act blindly without thinking before finding out the entire truth. However, if the Fishman Corpse approached him, he could only make his move and kill it.
The Fishman Corpse stopped at the village entrance and stayed there without even moving a single bit.
Wei Xiao Bei thought that he had been discovered, but the Fishman Corpse turned around and walked back in the village.
Ti passed by bit by bit.
The Fishman Corpses acted as if they were trapped by an invisible barrier. Everyti a Fishman Corpse approached the village entrance, they would stop for a while and walk back in.
When he noticed this, Wei Xiao Bei, all the more, did not dare to enter the village.
The place was too strange.
After lying down for a little more than two hours, he decided to leave the place.
The longer he stayed there, the stronger he felt an indescribable sense of danger, as if there was a voice warning him to leave.
After moving more than fifty ters away from the village, the sense of danger that he felt increased like a dam on the edge of collapsing.
His awareness attribute was at 9.25 points! His willpower was 12, judgent was 8, perception was 7, and intuition was 10!
This was what the status panel indicatedl.
With his intuition at 10 points, it signified that his perception of danger was much more stronger than a normal person!
He already knew this but never placed as much importance to it compared to strength.
However, it was at this mont that his intuition had saved him.
He carelessly turned around to take a look and saw that the surface of Lake Cui had turned black while emitting a humming noise.
What’s going on?
While he was still bewildered, the black surface began to extend towards the shore.
It’s not that the lake had changed color! But so black object had covered the lake!
The shore close to the village had been covered by the layer of black in just thirty seconds. The reed thicket was also covered, disappearing from existence.
When the black object approached to about 30 ters away from Wei Xiao Bei, he could finally see what it was.
The layer of black happened to be a countless number of black beetles the size of a finger!
Wherever the black beetles went, whether it was the reed thicket or the gray weeds, everything had been eaten cleanly.
Even the Fishman Corpses in the Fishn Village had been quickly covered by these beetles and disappeared from sight.
