BXBX NOVEL Chapter 283 - 218: Three Corpses Nine Worms! The Race Nemesis?
This sinister surge descended upon the Mantis Shura. At first, it didn’t feel anything and continued to dodge the incoming arrows.
However, its gaze was already fixed on the crowd on the ground.
Damned Human Race!
As long as it could survive this rain of arrows, it would have the opportunity to rush to the humans.
There were only around thirty of them. Given the chance to brandish its blade, it was confident it could wipe them out in ten seconds.
Spare none!
However, at that moment, it suddenly felt a severe pain in its stomach, a feeling of weakness quickly spreading throughout its body.
At the same time, it could clearly feel that countless small bugs seemed to be spawning within its body, continuously climbing upwards.
“Ah…!”
It shrieked involuntarily, its movement suddenly ceasing.
Right at that moment, an arrow arrived at the perfect time, immediately piercing its abdomen!
“Ah!”
It shrieked again. Its thin figure plummeted from the sky, harshly crashing into the ground.
“My…my belly, ah…”
It howled in pain, its hands grabbing its stomach, but it was still unable to stop the continuous churning in its abdomen as if something was trying to burst out.
“Die!”
Niu Jindao and several swordsmen rushed up, striking the Mantis Shura’s head with a slash.
“Scree~!”
The Mantis Shura abruptly raised its head, its bulging triangular eyes filled with blood vessel, staring fiercely at the approaching Niu Jindao and his men.
“Boom!”
A muffled explosion rang out suddenly, the body of the Mantis Shura burst open, its size exploded within moments, transforming into a giant Mantis Shura that stood seven to eight meters tall, with wings that extended over ten meters.
“Puff!”
Its two forelimbs, which resembled large scimitars, swept out with a slash, stirring up a whirlwind. In an instant, it was able to cut the four or five swordsmen in half!
The first casualties finally occurred among Zheng Cheng’s men after three days.
Five swordsmen were killed.
Niu Jindao, their leader, narrowly escaped death with a tumble under the blade of the giant Mantis Shura, just in the nick of time.
“Scree!”
The giant Mantis Shura let out another strange cry and flapped its wings once more.
Its massive body rose into the sky and landed in the middle of the archers, wreaking havoc amongst the panicked crowd, using its claws to strike out indiscriminately.
“Puff!”
“Puff! Puff!”
Blood and body parts flew in all directions. In an instant, an additional three or four people were killed by it.
“You’re asking for it!”
Zheng Cheng swore under his breath, rushed forward, leaped, and landed on the back of the giant Mantis, swiftly heading towards its head.
“How can such a huge creature have transformed from such a strange insectoid tribe?”
While contemplating, the giant Mantis Shura let out another screech, its wings flapping again as it tried to fly away.
However, Zheng Cheng stomped hard on its neck: “Get down!”
“Crack!”
With that stomp, he crushed a huge hole in the neck of the giant Mantis Shura, breaking the hard shell on its back.
“Scree~!”
The Giant Mantis Shura cried out painfully, collapsing to the ground, its lower body writhing wildly.
“Huh?”
Only now did Zheng Cheng notice that the giant Mantis Shura beneath his feet was thrashing and in a frenzy.
Its two claws were wildly clawing at the ground, its body shaking violently.
Several tentacles were emerging from its soft abdomen, writhing crazily.
Even its protruding eyeballs, mouth, and ears had several wriggling tentacles coming out, which looked terrifying and disgusting.
“What the hell is this?”
His Three Corpses Nine Worms are only at LV1, which can only trigger parasites within the host’s body, causing the host to become weak.
But why did it trigger these kinds of strange bugs in this giant Mantis Shura?
Were they internal parasites?
No no no…
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed: “These aren’t internal parasites! These are… iron thread worms!”
Parasites that dwell within the Mantis!
One of the most abundant parasites within the Mantis!
His Three Corpses Nine Worms could actually trigger the parasites within this giant Mantis Shura!
Activating them to attack the host’s body.
That is to say…
“Three Corpses Nine Worms…is the natural nemesis of this alien worm tribe?”
“Pfft!”
“Pfft!”
Several tendrils violently burst from the body of the Asura Mantis, even the injuries Zheng Cheng had just crushed were waving with tendrils.
The giant mantis started struggling desperately, trying to escape but became incredibly weak.
Watching these disgusting parasites, steel wire worms, Zheng Cheng felt a wave of nausea.
He grabbed the Yunxiao Sword and cut down without hesitation!
There was a flash of light, and his sword flashed over the neck of the giant mantis, decapitating it with one stroke!
The strange blades formed by the arms of the Asura Mantis were sharp and tough, but the shell of its body was only as hard as ordinary steel.
Zheng Cheng swiftly struck again, chopping the giant mantis again.

Looking at the heart that was only the size of a palm in his hand, Zheng Cheng casually put it in his space ring.
Special ingredients of seven-star quality, I might as well save them for my own consumption.
“Master!”
“Master!”
The survivors like Niu Jindao came running over, they had lost a full eight people under Zheng Cheng’s command after the chaotic fight!
Five shield soldiers and three archers, it is indeed heavy loss!
Zheng Cheng ordered, “Clean up the battlefield, especially this Asura Mantis’s corpse.”
“Yes, Master!”
Seeing the steel wire worms that were still wriggling on their bodies, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
“What kind of monster is this?”
“It looks so disgusting…”
“They’re dead! These bugs are dead!”
“Huh? What is that?”
Zheng Cheng returned to the territory heart while everyone else cleaned up the battlefield.
This time, no one was blocking him, he successfully picked up the heart of the territory.
At that moment, there was a sudden crawl in his chest, a small ‘head’ bounced out from his neck.
World’s wonder!
The World’s wonder that looked so much like jelly and slime crawled out and vigorously climbed along Zheng Cheng’s arm, heading towards the heart of the territory.
At the same time, there was a frantic fluctuation in his mind.
“Do you want to eat it?”
Zheng Cheng was prepared, to restore the world’s wonder, it had to consume a large number of temporal rifts.
And the heart of the territory, it’s a temporal rift!
Or rather, one of the temporal rifts!
“Go ahead, little guy, I wonder how much you will grow.”
Slime… the World’s wonder sent another wave of excitement through his mind, its small head vigorously shaking.
“You’re saying… smash this heart of the territory?”
Zheng Cheng sensed the weak mental fluctuation in his mind and threw a punch.
Boom, the territory heart that was half a man high instantly exploded.
A crystal, shinning white and only about the size of a walnut, appeared before his eyes.
Temporal Rift!
This, is the real temporal rift!
The world’s wonder immediately lay on top of the crystal, its soft body completely wrapping the crystal, and it fell into a deep sleep.
“That’s it?”
Zheng Cheng wondered, and put it away.
At this moment, Zhang San excitedly ran over:
“Master! Master!”
“We found two incredible spoils of war!”
“A blueprint for a special building! And a… hero crystal!”
