An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Chapter 1956　A member of the Black Scorpion Team hanging on a tree had just picked the first blood ginseng fruit

and was about to pick the second one.

His arm suddenly trembled, as if he had been stung by something.

He looked down and found a red bug in the palm of his hand.

The bugs are about the size of ants and have sharp mouth parts. After biting through the skin, they quickly burrow

into the flesh.

The members of the Black Scorpion team were startled and quickly stretched out their hands to remove bugs, but

in the end they were still half a second too late.

In the blink of an eye, red bugs burrowed into their arms, devouring flesh and blood while frantically laying eggs.

”Ah~!”

Severe pain hit them, and the member of the Black Scorpion team couldn’t help but scream and fell down from the

tree.

The skin on his arms began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Among the rotten meat, there are countless small red insects swarming around, so densely packed that it makes

one’s scalp numb.

”Help me! Help me quickly!”

The Black Scorpion team member howled in pain and rolled on the ground.

His body quickly shriveled up, his skin became wrinkled, and his cheeks were sunken.

In just a few breaths, what was once a muscular man has become as skinny as a stick.

At first glance, it looks like a mummy.

”What’s going on?!”

Seeing this scene, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

No one expected that a person who was fine just now would be on the verge of death in the blink of an eye.

He looked so skinny, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

”Look at his hands!”

One person pointed at the arms of the members of the Black Scorpion Team.

His entire arm was completely ulcerated, and bones could be seen in most places.

And between the bones and flesh, there were a lot of red bugs.

These red bugs reproduce at an incredible speed. Almost as soon as eggs are laid, new bugs will break out.

Moreover, every time the red bugs lay eggs, there are dozens or hundreds of them. The more flesh and blood they

eat, the faster they lay eggs.

In such a blink of an eye, half of the body of the Black Scorpion team member was already occupied by red bugs.

It looked terrible.

”Help me…save me…”

The members of the Black Scorpion team slowly turned from howling to moaning.

He tried to reach out his hand for help, but as soon as he raised it halfway, his only remaining hand was also eaten

by dense red bugs.

In less than two minutes, a living adult man had completely turned into a withered skeleton.

”Then… what are those bugs? Where did they come from?”

”Oh my God! A perfectly good person was eaten like this?”

Looking at the terrifying scene in front of them, everyone just felt… Their scalp was numb and they were

frightened.

They had no idea what was going on. They only saw the member of the Black Scorpion team suddenly fall from the

tree, and then his body was completely eaten by dense red bugs.

”Ah~!”

Just when everyone was shocked and confused.

Another member of the Black Scorpion team was hit and fell from the tree to the ground.

Similar to the person who was eaten before, this person was also shot in the arm and had unknown red bugs

burrowed into his body.

With the second person, soon there will be the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person…

In an instant, all the little Black Scorpion members who had just climbed up the tree to pick fruits fell to the ground.

All of them were wailing in agony.

”Ah~! My hand! My hand!”

”There are bugs! There are bugs in my body!”

”Captain! Captain, please save me!”

”…”

the members of the Black Scorpion Team exclaimed. He was crying, screaming, begging for help, and rolling on the

ground in pain.

Ordinary people simply cannot bear the pain of being devoured by thousands of insects.

”Quick! Cut off their arms!”

Leo Alexander’s expression changed, and he quickly ordered his two cronies to step forward to support him.

At the rate at which those red bugs reproduce, those who are infected will be eaten into bones in less than two

minutes.

He has no time to think about countermeasures now, in order to save the lives of his team members and prevent

greater damage.

He had to cut off the arms of his team members to prevent the red bugs from spreading throughout their bodies.

Just as they said, Leo Alexander and the others rushed forward as fast as they could with their knives in hand,

cutting off the contaminated arms one by one.

After the severed arm was separated from the body, in just a few breaths, it was devoured by red bugs until only

the bones were left.

Looking at the dense red bugs, Leo Alexander and the others felt a sense of fear.

If it had been a few seconds later, the lives of all the team members would have been ended here.

”Medical soldiers! Bandage them quickly to stop the bleeding!”

Margaret reacted quickly and immediately commanded her subordinates to bandage the injured.

Although survival materials are scarce, medical supplies are abundant.

”Captain! How could this happen? Where do these weird poisonous insects come from?” the bald man said with a

scared look on his face.

”It’s the blood ginseng fruit!”

Margaret said with a serious face: “Everyone who has just come into contact with the blood ginseng fruit has been

attacked. It can be concluded that there is something weird about these blood ginseng fruits!” “

Blood ginseng fruit?”

Leo Alexander twisted slightly. Eyebrow, he walked up to a team member, opened the bag containing the blood

ginseng fruit, and took a look. His face suddenly changed with fright, and he took a few steps back.

He saw that the previously crystal clear blood ginseng fruit had broken into pieces at some point, and the red flesh

was filled with tiny red insects swarming around.

The pulp of the blood ginseng fruit has suddenly become a breeding ground for these red bugs!

”Quick! Throw away all the blood ginseng fruits!”

”It’s full of bugs! Don’t touch it with your hands!”

After reacting, Leo Alexander yelled quickly and immediately commanded his two henchmen to pick them with the

back of a knife. Bag, throw the blood ginseng fruit far away.

No one expected that there were so many weird poisonous insects hidden among these valuable blood ginseng

fruits.

For a time, no one dared to step forward.

Especially the disciples of the Golden Blade Sect looked like they were going to survive the disaster.

Fortunately, they were one step behind just now and were not too anxious to pick the fruits, otherwise their fate

would be the same as the members of the Black Scorpion Team.

It can range from a broken arm to a life-threatening injury!

After bandaging, the bleeding from the broken arm finally stopped.

But having their dominant hand cut off, for the members of the Black Scorpion Team, is equivalent to losing too

much.

Let alone treasure hunting, it will be difficult to make a living in the future.

Seeing his brothers dying and being injured, Leo Alexander’s face became particularly ugly.

But now, it’s too late to regret.
