"Could it be... there is sothing underneath? The monster that the Saintess Sect keeps, the kind that eats people?" Little Nuonuo’s eyes sparkled as he speculated, looking at the pile of corpses.
A monster, huh, does that an he can fight the monster?
He looked up at the eldest brother, then at the second elder brother, and finally looked down at his own small fra, suddenly feeling deflated.
His brothers wouldn’t give him the chance, and if he attempted, it would only distract them. Better to save his strength; when he grows taller and stronger, he can truly engage in battle.
"What’s the matter, are you scared?"
Min Yi picked up the little baby again and asked.
He had seen the expression on the little baby’s face, a kind of indescribable look. Was he scared?
"I am not scared at all!"
Little Nuonuo instantly straightened his back.
What’s there to be afraid of with his brothers ahead? Even in the worst-case scenario, if they’re defeated, the Stone People will handle the aftermath.
Now that the Stone People haven’t shown up to give them a warning, it indicates that even if there is sothing here, it’s sothing they can deal with. When the ti cos, he’ll watch his brothers smash that monster’s head!
"Big Brother Min Yi, your cultivation level isn’t high. If a battle starts, rember to hide behind Nuonuo. Nuonuo will protect you."
He patted his own little chest, speaking boldly to Min Yi.
Min Yi: "..."
He wanted to say it’s not that bad; even if they lose, he wouldn’t need a little baby to protect him.
Does he have no dignity? If this gets out, he’d have no reason to live.
Just as he was thinking about how to regain his dignity and impress in front of the little baby, a ’clack clack’ sound erged from the pile of corpses.
"What sound is that?"
He followed the sound, seeing a large white, plump at insect crawling out from the mountain of bodies, biting and crunching human bones, then swallowing them.
"Gulp."
Unable to help it, he took a step back fearfully, swallowing a bit nervously.
"Blood Corpse Worm!"
On hearing this na, every hair on his body stood on end.
"What’s a Blood Corpse Worm?"
Carried by him, Little Nuonuo asked curiously, being the only one who heard his mumbling clearly.
"Shh!"
Listening to the sound, Min Yi hurriedly made a hush gesture to the little baby.
"Co here, all of you co over."
He gestured Qian Yizheng and the others to co over, lowering his voice and beckoning them, his eye corner sneaking glances toward the Blood Corpse Worm, afraid it might leap over.
"Blood Corpse Worms are a unique kind of demonic beast in the Seasonal Moon Plane. They’re social beasts and feed on corpses, especially favoring human bones.
Because the Seasonal Moon Plane has Blood Corpse Worms, there’s a special kind of wood, Sun-facing Trees."
"I know that. Along the way, we saw Sun-facing Trees everywhere, the sll is unbearable, yet they planted so many." Little Nuonuo raised his chubby little hand, saying.
"That’s because Blood Corpse Worms hate the sll of Sun-facing Trees the most. Therefore, only places planted with Sun-facing Trees in the Seasonal Moon Plane are free of Blood Corpse Worms."
Min Yi explained.
"Moreover, since Blood Corpse Worms live off corpses, Humans can only use Sun-facing Wood for coffins; otherwise, the bodies would be gone in a few days after burial."
