Chapter 397: The Witch Under the Bed

Buzzzzzzzzzzzz…

The fogger roared with a buzzing sound, spraying 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’s entrance and waiting for the swarm of corpse worms to fly out.

Except for Daotu last night, the other herdsmen were asleep and didn’t see the corpse worms at all, so now everyone was eager to see whether the worms would actually appear.

That’s just how people are—if they haven’t seen something with their own eyes, they won’t easily believe it.

Time passed, second by second…

At this time yesterday, the corpse worms had already swarmed out and started biting people.

Yet today, the worms were slow to react.

Shui Miao turned his head toward Lin Xue, who was holding a pistol and pointing it at the cave entrance. “Sister Lin, do you think the witch Bairma might have been eaten by the worms?”

“I don’t think so. If she dared to live here, she must have a way 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 drums. 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, widening her eyes dramatically, her face showing 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. She said, “There are all kinds of strange things in this world. In my opinion, she might have already fled during the night. If I were her, I would have run away instead of waiting here for you all to come kill me.”

“What a pity! 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 also sitting in the back seat next to Xiao Tang, her face filled with longing.

“You probably won’t get to see that kind of scene anymore because the aphrodisiac hunter Daotu has arrived. He definitely doesn’t have good intentions,” Lin Xue glanced sideways and saw Daotu riding a large black horse approaching.

Shui Miao immediately stuck his head 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 several dozen days after a meal. Last night they feasted on so many livestock, so they must be full now and won’t come out again.”

Daotu looked serious.

Because of Shui Miao’s kindness and magnanimity in forgiving him, 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. There must still be many that didn’t get enough to eat. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to imitate Bairma’s call. If I could, I would definitely be able to lure out those worms.”

“I’ve got an idea—we can try imitating that woman’s call!”

Lin Xue suddenly had an idea.

Daotu quickly shook his head. “That won’t work. Bairma’s call is very mournful. You won’t be able to imitate it.”

“Ahh! Ahh!!”

Lin Xue suddenly screamed, startling everyone.

Hearing Lin Xue’s scream, Daotu waved his hand. “Nope, 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 a few dozen seconds of preparation, suddenly screamed.

But Lin Zhiling’s scream was very sharp, making everyone’s skin crawl.

“Let me! Let me!”

Xiao Tang deliberately pressed her chest against Shui Miao’s thigh, stuck her head out the window, and let out a series of seductive moans!

Everyone felt awkward. Shui Miao quickly covered Xiao Tang’s mouth and pulled her back. “Xiao Shuang, you try it.”

Xiao Shuang nodded and softly let out a small sound, quieter than 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 screamed a few times.

“Almost there…”

“Yeah, yeah, just like that! Make it even louder!”

“Make it even more mournful…”

“Again! Again!”

Under Daotu’s guidance, Xiao Shuang screamed 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 the scream, Daotu felt as if he had heard Bairma’s wail. Startled, he immediately opened his eyes.

“Weng!”

A different kind of buzzing sound gradually rose.

“No good, they’re coming out! Light the fire!”

Daotu shouted loudly, quickly turned his horse around, raised the whip, and the big black horse immediately galloped away.

Hearing Daotu’s shout, many herdsmen in the distance lit fires, and soon black smoke began rising…

“Xiao Shuang, scream a couple more times!”

Shui Miao heard the sound growing louder. As black mist began rising from the ground, he knew the corpse worms were truly coming out.

Xiao Tang extended her “Nine Yin Skeleton Claw” and was about to strike again!

Xiao Shuang quickly waved her hands and screamed loudly!

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a massive wave of worms burst out from the cave entrance, surging forward and even overturning the fogger and knocking over gasoline drums.

“Pengpengpeng…”

Lin Xue fired several shots in succession. With a deafening explosion, several huge fireballs shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the emerging corpse worms in flames. Seeing this, Lin Xue quickly drove the car away. However, around the Dead Man’s Slope, countless corpse worms emerged from underground across an area with a diameter of dozens of meters, forming waves of black insects rushing toward the Hummer!

“Don’t film anymore, quickly close the windows!”

Lin Xue shouted, turned the car around, and actually drove straight toward the flames.

Lin Zhiling quickly put away her phone and shut the windows tightly. Lin Xue was planning to use the heat from the fire to burn the worms. The worms were just worms, and they followed the car, only to be completely burned alive. Their bodies emitted a foul stench as they burned, causing a wave of nausea.

Once the corpse worms were mostly burned, Lin Xue finally drove away.

“Shui Miao, this car might need a major overhaul…”

Lin Xue felt心疼 for the car. The paint had been scorched off by the fire. A million-dollar Hummer in need of major repairs was no small matter.

“Just a car. If it’s broken, just replace it with a new one!”

Shui Miao waved his hand indifferently, looking toward the cave entrance. Many worms were still pouring out, their momentum truly embodying the phrase “like moths to a flame.”

※※※

Shui Miao and the others were burning the corpse worms at Dead Man’s Slope.

But at this moment, a young beauty, barely clothed, sneaked into Shui Miao’s yurt. After glancing around inside, she quickly crawled to the ground and hid beneath the big bed.
