Chapter 1000 9 Updates

Not long after, the black spots in the sky became obviously denser, so dark that the sunlight could hardly penetrate, and the light gradually dimmed.

Many orcs ran out and swatted at the insects in the air. The cubs were also jumping, scratching, biting, and flopping together.

"Why so many?"

Bai Qingqing also felt vaguely that something was not good. Several bugs flew towards her. Bai Qingqing was most afraid of bugs and hurriedly hid next to Parker.

Parker swatted the bug to death with two claws, and his low voice was serious: "This is an insect plague. Normal beetles live alone. If they gather together to reach a certain density, the friction of their wings will cause them to mutate. They can reproduce quickly and eat any animal. An insect plague often wipes out all the animals in a land, which is a major disaster in the jungle."

Bai Qingqing was horrified and asked uneasily: "Cannibalism?"

"Of course you eat if you are bitten. Go back quickly and be careful if you are bitten. The reason why they reproduce so quickly is because they lay eggs inside animals. They are also smart and specialize in soft animals. Females and cubs are their favorites. Spawn object.”

Parker spoke very fast, picked up Bai Qingqing and ran towards the house in large strides.

Bai Qingqing's body suddenly stiffened after hearing Parker's words, and she shrank, wishing to hide herself in Parker's body.

Back in the bedroom, Parker blocked all the holes in the bedroom, locked up Bai Qingqing, then went out to seal all the openings in the stone castle, and then went out to kill bugs.

Bai Qingqing could still hear the buzzing outside while standing in the room, and her skin felt numb and her hair stood on end.

The snake-like Curtis was lying in the haystack in the corner, smelling of laziness, looking up at Bai Qingqing, and turned into a human form.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly walked towards him, trying to find some sense of security. Curtis took the opportunity to hug the person into his arms and said helplessly: "It seems that the shedding will have to be delayed for a while."

"Do you know?" Bai Qingqing asked with a pale face, "Have you ever encountered an insect plague?"

Curtis patted Bai Qingqing's head comfortingly, his behavior was full of comfort, but what he said made Bai Qingqing even more worried and scared.

"I've encountered it. It happens about once every ten to twenty years."

"How about it? Will many people die?"

Bai Qingqing's face became even paler, and the various horror movies she had watched could not help but come to mind. There was a scene in a movie called "The Fog" that particularly impressed her:

In a dark room, a man was entangled in spider webs. When the protagonist came to save him, his stomach suddenly burst, and countless little spiders crawled out. The black dots completely covered the man, and then spread quickly like a tide...

Bai Qingqing's body trembled, feeling like she had really entered a horror movie set this time.

Even if it is not a horror movie, there are many similar phenomena in life, and the most common one is flies.

Almost every animal has maggots in its body after death, which means it has been injected with insect eggs. If the fly is not swatted to death, the eggs will burst out of the fly's body when they grow up.

Even the human body itself is often inhabited by insects, but they rarely threaten life, and they are nothing compared to this insect plague.

Not only is it scary, but it's also disgusting.

Bai Qingqing never thought that such a terrifying thing would threaten herself. There is such a terrifying thing in this world. It was so scary to think about it that she almost didn't dare to go out anymore.

Curtis was amused, but he didn't expect that Bai Qingqing was frightened and hugged her tighter.
