Chapter 316: Gadfly Demon’s Information
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As he spoke, due to the guidance of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s consciousness, Lin Yan had already arrived at the place where the Gadfly Demon was parasitizing.
On the blood-covered flesh wall, there was a bump the size of a human head. It was like a pimple on a person’s face. There was a white spot with a hint of purple in the center. One could even see the constantly squirming Gadfly Demon’s Body through the half-transparent skin.
When he reached out and touched the bag, he could feel strange chewing vibrations. It was obvious that the Gadfly Demon was constantly devouring the body of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. Moreover, it had a human-shaped mouth and two rows of teeth that were colliding up and down. It was subconsciously swinging left and right.
Lin Yan had seen in the records that the biggest difference between Gadfly Demons from the egg stage to the Nematode Stage was the number of heads they had.
The Gadfly Demon at the Nematode Stage only had one head. It kept devouring and growing. When its original tail grew into a head and teeth grew out, it would reach the Nematode Stage.
Generally speaking, Gadfly Demons would let their new heads devour as much flesh as possible and grow quickly.
Therefore, Nematode stage Gadfly Demons usually started with two heads. The one Lin Yan had seen last time was strictly speaking a three-headed Gadfly Demon.
“If 1 use the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame, 1 wonder if I can burn and kill this Gadfly Demon…”
However, he didn’t make a move immediately. Since this Gadfly Demon had the ability to split, he had to be careful. Furthermore, this time, he wanted to observe at close range again how the Turtle Spirit Clan eliminated bugs.
After he retreated to the side, a team of silver-armored soldiers and workers soon arrived.
They were extremely agile. First, among the silver-armored soldiers, a person who clearly looked like a captain took out a sharp long saber and stabbed it into the big bag, gouging it.
A foul-smelling pus gushed out and splashed on his face.
Two team members, who had long been prepared, released a greenish-blue halo with their hands again. As if they were wearing a pair of greenish-blue energy gloves, they grabbed the insect head that was constantly shaking in the big bag. Then, they shouted and pulled it out!
The Gadfly Demon was clearly stretched taut by the pulling force. Its flesh shrank and began to burrow in.
The two rows of teeth on the insect’s head kept colliding and biting, wanting to bite the person beside it, but they were firmly grabbed and only made crisp clicking sounds.
At this moment, the captain raised his saber again and slashed at the flesh in the Gadfly Demon’s hole. He cut off four to five pieces of flesh the size of a human’s stomach in a row, and blood gushed out from the hole.
Lin Yan watched very carefully. He realized that this captain carefully avoided the Gadfly Demon’s body with every slash without injuring it at all.
Without the friction of the surrounding flesh, the Gadfly Demon became even easier to pull. The two team members exerted strength, and the Gadfly Demon was pulled out bit by bit. After they pulled it out for a while, two more people stepped forward and similarly covered their hands in blue light.
Lin Yan sent a message through his Mind Connection Technique to the golden ball. “Aren’t these people worried that the Gadfly Demon will suddenly split up into countless egg worms that burrow into other places?”
The golden ball buzzed and vibrated.
“So, as long as the Gadfly Demon is still in your body, gnawing at your flesh, it won’t split apart. Only when the Gadfly Demon’s entire body leaves your body and can’t devour your flesh will it feel danger and split apart?”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. This was good news.
The silver-armored soldiers pulled with all their might, and soon, the Gadfly Demon was pulled further and further away. The number of people increased from four to six.
Suddenly, a white figure shot out of the pit and landed on the face of one of the Gadfly Demons. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down. It was another head!
This Gadfly Demon was a three-headed Gadfly Demon!
“Ahhh! My face…!!”
With a miserable scream, the originally good situation of the six of them pulling and pulling was instantly broken. First, the person who was screaming subconsciously let go. Then, the Gadfly Demon’s body suddenly shook, and its head bit left and right. A huge force transmitted over, immediately causing the others to lose their balance and let go.
As for the Gadfly Demon, it crazily swung its azure-purple blood-streaked body towards the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body.
“Quick! Quick! We can’t let it crawl back in. Quick!”
The other two silver-armored soldiers waiting at the side immediately pounced forward. They stretched out their hands firmly and finally pulled the Gadfly Demon back.
The Gadfly Demon had developed into a nematode from an egg worm. Originally, it only gnawed and bit on the surface, but once it was stimulated, it would desperately burrow into the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body and go deep. At that time, it would be a hundred times more troublesome to deal with it.
The captain also pounced over and wrapped his arms around the Gadfly Demon’s waist. Countless threads pierced into his body, many of them piercing his shoulder blades.
With three of them pulling with all their might, the others finally recovered. They pulled the Gadfly Demon again, including the other throbbing head.
The gray-blue worker also hurriedly took out a bottle of liquid and splashed it on the Gadfly Demon’s tail. After a flurry, they finally pulled the Gadfly Demon out.
However, the team member who had been bitten by the Gadfly Demon was in a very bad state. Half of his nose and half of his face had been bitten off, revealing his red teeth and cheeks. Blood flowed profusely.
When the Gadfly Demon once again turned into a jade-like plaster and shattered on the ground, the captain asked someone to help that team member up. “Quick! Send him to emergency treatment!”
His expression was extremely ugly. “Recently, the Gadfly Demon has become stronger and stronger. Almost all of them have at least three heads. If this continues, the situation will only become worse…”
He suddenly turned to look at the workers and said angrily, “Where’s the sulfuric acid? Why didn’t you use it earlier!”
The worker looked helpless. “Sir, the sulfuric acid reserve is already insufficient. The bottle I used just now is already my last bottle this month!
“Sigh, it’s not just me. All the people in the Logistics Team are the same.
“In the previous batch, there was not enough sulfuric acid to begin with. It’s said that the next batch of purchases has also been delayed.
“As you know, a year ago, the Holy Mother sealed the front area. The Unusual Items and specialties produced by our race have greatly decreased. We can only guarantee the exchange of Shattered Star Rock Iron.
“Of course we’ll save as much as I can for resources like sulfuric acid…”
The captain angrily punched the flesh wall beside him. “The Dafeng people are really profiteers! They’re a bunch of bastards!”
“Sir, be careful with your words! In the future, we still have to… cough cough.”
The worker seemed to have thought of something and did not continue.
“Forget it. I’m old friends with the Kunjun Prefecture Administration. We happen to be in Kunjun Prefecture now. I’ll go take a look and see if I can think of a way…”
“Your Excellency is wise!”
After taking the Gadfly Demon’s Spirit Marrow and using a ball of gray powder that seemed to be crushed by a shell to seal the wound of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, the group left cursing.
Lin Yan walked out, but his expression was slightly solemn. Recalling what the captain had said just now, it seemed to reveal a lot of information.
“The Turtle Spirit Clan is doing business with the Dafeng people?”
The golden ball jumped a few times.
“It’s mainly Star Shattering Rock Iron? 1 remember seeing Star Shattering Rocks in ancient records. Isn’t this what you originally had on your body?”
“I know that!” Old Qin interrupted again. “Shattered Star Rock Iron is a special metal refined from the Shattered Star Rock. It’s specially used to match the three moves of the Three Dominations. Brother, do you still remember the greenish-blue halo in their hands just now?”
“You’re saying that they’re wearing gloves made of Shattered Star Rock Iron?
Its effect is to turn the shattering power of the Three Dominations into something that can be steadily outputted?”
“Big Brother’s reaction is really fast!”
Lin Yan was a little interested in such an item. He could use it later.
After watching the process of dealing with the Gadfly Demon again, Lin Yan felt even more confident.
He cultivated the Nine Heavens Earth Shaking Domination and used his legs. Naturally, it was not as convenient as his hands. However, after using ten Enlightenment Spiritual Lights, his comprehension of the Nine Heavens Earth Shaking Domination had already reached a high realm.
With the Nine Heavens Earth Shaking Domination, he felt that he could completely penetrate the flesh and blood of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
Moreover, he had the support of the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame, the Ghost Flame, and other methods. It was just right to test the strength of this Gadfly Demon.
“However, 1 have to walk around and see if there’s any way to quickly find the place where the Gadfly Demon is parasitizing.
“In any case, I have the Essence Origin Holy Flame. If necessary, 1 can directly use a knife to dig it out and take a look. Then, I can use the Essence Origin Holy Flame to help the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother heal…”
As Lin Yan thought this, he had already walked to the wound that the Gadfly Demon had parasitized. The emerald-green Essence Origin Holy Flame in his palm bloomed and pressed on the wound.
The palm-sized hole in the flesh immediately began to squirm and shrink, quickly recovering.
“Something’s not right?! There’s… something else in this wound?!”
