Buzzzzzzzzzzzz…
The fogger roared with a buzzing sound as it spewed a large amount of toxic fog into the cave. The pungent smell of pesticide was unbearable for anyone. Everyone stood far away, watching the cave entrance, waiting for the swarm of corpse worms to fly out.
Except for Daotu last night, all the other herdsmen were asleep and saw nothing of the worms, so now everyone was eager to see if the worms would actually appear.
That’s just how people are; unless they see it with their own eyes, they won’t easily believe it.
Time passed second by second…
At this time yesterday, swarms of worms had already been stirred up and had come out to bite people early.
But today, the worms were slow to react.
Shui Miao turned his head to look at Lin Xue, who was holding a pistol and pointing it at the cave entrance. “Lin Jie, do you think the witch Bairma might have been eaten by the worms?”
“I don’t think so. If she dares to live here, she must have ways to deal with the worms. Besides, yesterday the worms obeyed her commands and attacked us,” Lin Xue kept her eyes fixed on the cave entrance dozens of meters away. As soon as the witch appeared, she would mercilessly shoot the gasoline drum. If she couldn’t kill her yesterday, she would burn her to death today.
“Seriously! This person is too amazing! How can she control the worms?”
Xiao Tang, standing beside Shui Miao, suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, her eyes widening dramatically, her face full of disbelief.
More importantly, she took the opportunity to place her hand on Shui Miao’s thigh.
Lin Zhiling, sitting in the front passenger seat, was filming with her phone. “There are so many strange things in this world. For all we know, she might have fled in the night. If I were her, I’d have run away already instead of waiting here for you all to come kill me.”
“What a shame! I didn’t get to see the worms last night. I bet the scene must have been spectacular, like watching an American disaster movie.”
Xiao Shuang was sitting in the back row next to Xiao Tang, her face full of longing.
“You might never get to see that scene again because the aphrodisiac hunter Daotu has come. He’s definitely up to no good.” Lin Xue glanced sideways and saw Daotu approaching on a large black horse.
Shui Miao immediately leaned out and asked in confusion, “What’s going on? This is so dangerous, why did you come over?”
“Boss Chen, I think those worms won’t come out anymore. Suddenly I remembered that when I used to feed them animal carcasses, they wouldn’t come out for many days after a meal. Last night they devoured so many livestock, they must be full and won’t come out again.”
Daotu looked serious.
Because of Shui Miao’s kindness and magnanimity, Daotu felt deeply ashamed and had been trying to find ways to repay him.
“Hmm…”
Shui Miao thought for a moment and shook his head. “There were too many worms; many of them probably didn’t get enough to eat. It’s a pity I don’t know how Bairma calls them. If I did, I could definitely lure those worms out.”
“I have an idea! We can try imitating that woman’s call!”
Lin Xue suddenly had an idea.
Daotu immediately shook his head. “That won’t work. Bairma’s call is very mournful; you won’t be able to imitate it.”
“Ahh! Ahhh!!”
Lin Xue suddenly screamed, startling everyone.
Hearing Lin Xue’s scream, Daotu waved his hand. “No, your voice is too strong and powerful. It needs to be weaker.”
“Let me try…”
Lin Zhiling took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and after building up for dozens of seconds, suddenly screamed.
But Lin Zhiling’s scream was very shrill, making everyone’s skin crawl.
“Let me, let me!”
Xiao Tang deliberately pressed her chest against Shui Miao’s thigh and stuck her head out the window, letting out a series of seductive moans!
Everyone felt awkward. Shui Miao quickly covered Xiao Tang’s mouth and pulled her back. “Xiao Shuang, why don’t you give it a try?”
Xiao Shuang nodded and let out a very soft cry, sounding like a mosquito’s hum.
“This one is good, this one sounds right! Just make it louder…”
Daotu closed his eyes, feeling that only Xiao Shuang’s voice was similar, but her voice was too soft.
Xiao Shuang raised her voice and cried out a few times.
“Almost there…”
“Yeah, yeah, just like that, make it even louder!”
“Make it more mournful…”
“Again, again…”
Under Daotu’s guidance, Xiao Shuang cried louder and more mournfully.
Suddenly, Xiao Tang grabbed Xiao Shuang’s thigh, and Xiao Shuang couldn’t help but let out an extremely mournful scream!
“Ahh!”
Hearing this scream, Daotu seemed to hear Bairma’s cry. Startled, he jumped and opened his eyes.
“Weng!”
A different buzzing sound gradually rose.
“No good, they’re coming out! Light the fire!”
Daotu shouted loudly, quickly turning his horse around and raising the whip. The big black horse immediately galloped away at full speed.
Hearing Daotu’s shout, many herdsmen far away quickly lit fires, and soon thick black smoke rose.
“Xiao Shuang, scream a few more times!”
Shui Miao heard the sound growing louder. As black mist rose from the ground, he knew the corpse worms were really coming out.
Xiao Tang extended her “Nine Yin Skeleton Claw” and was about to strike again!
Xiao Shuang quickly waved her hands and opened her mouth to scream loudly!
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a massive wave of worms surged out from the cave entrance. The tide rolled forward, even overturning the fogger and knocking over gasoline drums.
“Peng! Peng! Peng…”
Lin Xue fired several shots in succession. With a deafening explosion, “Boom!” several huge fireballs shot into the air, instantly engulfing the emerging corpse worms in flames. Seeing this, Lin Xue quickly drove the car away. However, around the Headless Slope, within an area of hundreds of meters in diameter, countless corpse worms emerged from underground, forming waves of black insects rushing toward the Hummer!
“Don’t film anymore, quickly close the windows!”
Lin Xue shouted, turning the car around and actually charging toward the fireball.
Lin Zhiling quickly put down her phone and shut the window tightly. Lin Xue was going to use the heat from the fire to burn the worms. The worms were just worms, and they followed the chase, ending up all perishing in the flames. Their bodies burned, emitting a foul stench that wafted over, making people nauseous.
Seeing that the corpse worms were almost all burned, Lin Xue finally drove away.
“Shui Miao, this car might need a major overhaul…”
Buzz buzz buzz buzz…
The mist machine emitted a roaring buzz as large amounts of toxic fog were sprayed into the cave. The pungent smell of pesticides was unbearable for anyone. Everyone stood watching the cave entrance from a distance, waiting for the swarm of corpse insects to fly out.
Last night, except for Daoertu, all the herders had fallen asleep, so no one had actually seen the corpse insects. Now, everyone was eager to find out whether the insects would really appear.
That’s just how people are—they seldom believe anything they haven’t seen with their own eyes.
Time passed minute by minute…
At this time yesterday, the swarm of corpse insects had already emerged, stirred by the scent, and started biting people early on.
But today, the insects showed no reaction.
Shui Miao turned to look at Lin Xue, who was holding a pistol aimed at the cave entrance. “Sister Lin, do you think the witch Bai Erma might have been eaten by the insects?”
“I doubt it. Since she dared to live here, she must have a way to deal with the insects. Besides, yesterday they even obeyed her commands and attacked us,” Lin Xue replied, her eyes fixed on the cave entrance dozens of meters away. If the witch emerged, she would not hesitate to shoot the gasoline barrels. If they couldn’t kill her yesterday, they would burn her to death today.
“Really? That’s incredible! She can actually control insects?”
The woman next to Shui Miao, Sister Tang, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, exaggeratingly widening her eyes with an expression of disbelief.
Most importantly, she took the opportunity to place her hand on Shui Miao’s thigh.
Lin Zhiling, sitting in the passenger seat, recorded with her phone while commenting, “There are plenty of strange things in this world. In my opinion, if she hasn’t come out by now, she might have escaped overnight. If it were me, I would’ve fled under cover of darkness instead of waiting here for you to come and kill me.”
“What a pity. We didn’t get to see the insects last night. I bet the scene must have been spectacular, just like watching an American disaster movie,” Xiao Shuang, sitting in the back seat next to Sister Tang, said with a look of yearning.
“You might not get the chance to see that scene anymore because the love hunter Daoertu is here. Nothing good ever happens when he’s around,” Lin Xue glanced to the side and saw Daoertu riding a large black horse toward them.
Shui Miao immediately leaned out and asked, “What’s going on? It’s dangerous here. Why did you come?”
“Boss Chen, I don’t think those insects are coming out. I suddenly remembered that when I used to feed them animal carcasses, they wouldn’t emerge for dozens of days after a meal. Last night, they had so many livestock to feast on. They must be full and won’t come out again,” Daoertu said with a serious expression.
Due to Shui Miao’s kindness and magnanimity, despite having been wronged, Daoertu felt deeply ashamed and had been thinking of ways to repay him.
“Well…” Shui Miao pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “There are too many insects. Surely many of them are still hungry. It’s a shame I don’t know how to mimic Bai Erma’s cries. If I did, I could definitely lure them out.”
“I have an idea! We can try imitating that woman’s cries!” Lin Xue’s eyes lit up.
Daoertu quickly shook his head. “That won’t work. Bai Erma’s cries are very mournful. You won’t be able to imitate them.”
“Ah! Ah!!” Lin Xue suddenly let out a sharp scream, startling everyone.
Hearing her cries, Daoertu waved his hand. “No, your voice is too strong and powerful. It needs to be weaker.”
“Let me give it a shot…” Lin Zhiling inhaled deeply, shut her eyes, concentrated her thoughts for several dozen seconds, and then abruptly let out a shout.
But Lin Zhiling’s cry was extremely shrill, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.
“Let me try! Let me try!” Sister Tang deliberately pressed her chest against Shui Miao’s thigh, leaned out the window, and let out a series of provocative moans!
Everyone felt awkward, and Shui Miao quickly covered Sister Tang’s mouth, pulling her back inside. “Xiao Shuang, why don’t you give it a try?”
Xiao Shuang nodded and let out a very soft cry, almost like a mosquito’s hum.
“This is close, this is close! Just a bit louder…” Daoertu closed his eyes, feeling that only Xiao Shuang’s voice resembled Bai Erma’s, but it was too gentle.
Xiao Shuang raised her voice and cried out a few more times.
“Almost there…”
“Yes, yes, just like that! A bit louder!”
“Make it more mournful…”
“Again, again…”
Under Daoertu’s guidance, Xiao Shuang’s cries grew louder and more mournful.
Suddenly, Sister Tang reached out and pinched Xiao Shuang’s thigh. Xiao Shuang couldn’t help but let out an extremely agonized scream!
“Ah!”
Hearing this cry, Daoertu felt as if he had heard Bai Erma’s mournful wail. Startled, he quickly opened his eyes.
“Bzzz!”
A distinct buzzing sound gradually arose.
“Oh no, they’re coming out! Light the fires!” Daoertu shouted, immediately turning his horse around and whipping it fiercely. The black horse galloped away at full speed.
Hearing Daoertu’s cry, many herders in the distance lit fires, and columns of black smoke suddenly billowed into the air…
“Xiao Shuang, cry out a few more times!” Shui Miao urged, hearing the growing noise and seeing black fumes rising from the ground. He knew the corpse insects were about to emerge.
Sister Tang extended her “Nine Yin White Bone Claw,” ready to strike again!
Xiao Shuang quickly waved her hands and let out a series of blood-curdling screams!
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a massive wave of insects surged out from the cave entrance, sweeping forward like a tidal wave. The force even overturned the mist machine and knocked over the gasoline barrels.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
Lin Xue fired several shots. With a deafening “Boom!”, several enormous fireballs erupted into the sky, instantly engulfing the emerging corpse insects in flames. Seeing this, Lin Xue quickly drove away. However, within a hundred-meter radius around Duantou Slope, countless corpse insects emerged from the ground, forming black waves that surged toward the Hummer.
“Stop recording! Close the windows tightly!” Lin Xue shouted, turning the vehicle around and charging directly toward the flames.
Lin Zhiling quickly put down her phone and closed the windows. Lin Xue intended to use the heat from the fire to burn the corpse insects. Insects, after all, were just insects—they followed relentlessly, only to be consumed by the inferno. Their burned bodies emitted a foul stench that wafted through the air, nauseating everyone.
Once most of the corpse insects had been burned, Lin Xue drove away.
“Shui Miao, this car is going to need major repairs…” Lin Xue said sadly, noting the paint had been scorched and damaged. A Hummer worth over a million would cost a fortune to repair.
“It’s just a car. If it’s broken, we’ll just get a new one!” Shui Miao waved his hand dismissively and glanced toward the cave entrance. Insects were still pouring out, their relentless surge bringing to mind the phrase “like moths to a flame.”
※※※
Shui Miao and the others burned corpse insects en masse at Duantou Slope.
Meanwhile, back in Shui Miao’s yurt, a barely clothed young beauty slipped inside. After surveying the interior, she quickly crouched down and hid under the large bed.
“Just a car. If it’s broken, we’ll just replace it with a new one!”
Shui Miao waved his hand indifferently, looking at the cave entrance where many worms were still pouring out. The sight truly lived up to the saying, “Like moths flying into a flame.”
※※※
Shui Miao and the others were burning the corpse worms at Headless Slope.
But at this moment, a young beauty barely dressed slipped into Shui Miao’s yurt. After glancing around inside, she quickly crawled to the ground and hid herself beneath the large bed.
