The Great Worm Lich

Zhang Lisheng who was sitting aside had no idea how should he comfort Trish, so he stayed silent all the time. Finally, the two girls regained their senses after crying and hugging for a long time.

“I’ll bring Henry back and bury him at our family cemetery. We will visit him every year,” Trish held back her tears and carried her brother’s head from the ground. She said softly while putting it into the mountain pack on her back carefully.

A woman would actually be tougher than men when they encountered incidents, what Trish did was an example. Tina nodded while comforting her, the two ladies staggered at the same time from the lack of blood flow from squatting for too long. Tina saw something flashy on the ground when their bodies were shaking. She was stunned for a moment and dashed to a native corpse like she had gone nuts. She pulled out a silver necklace from the corpse’s neck after squatting down. The necklace was made of platinum and a diamond pendant with the letter D, it was pretty. It was shining when the sun shone on it from the gaps between the branches in the dense jungle, as Tina picked it up.

“Oh god, this is a gift I got Sheila on her birthday last year. The cannibals… the cannibals took her as well…” Trish ran to Tina after hearing that and looked at the necklace in Tina’s hand immediately, “It’s the necklace. So Sheila, Walter, Shittu and the rest are… they’re… Oh yea, we lost them not too long ago. Maybe they’ve just been captured by the cannibals and they’re still alive.”

“Or maybe the cannibals picked up the necklace in the rainforest by accident, while Sheila and the rest are safe.”

“Lisheng, do you think what you said is credible? I beg you, you’re the only one who can save Sheila and the rest now,” Tina held tight onto the necklace in her hand, she did not realize that the pendant’s sharp end had wounded her palm.

“There’s only one extreme way to save someone from the cannibal tribe. There’s no other way than killing them,” Zhang Lisheng thought about it and said calmly.

“People who eat their own kind can’t be called human. God will reward us if we kill more of such devils,” Trish showed a distorted expression that she had never shown before and said fiercely while she had the native’s blood on her face.

“But there will be children, women and old people in a tribe…”

“There are no innocents when they’re devils living in hell,” Trish said a quote from the Crusades during the medieval period.

“So what are we waiting for? Looking at the escaper’s condition, the cannibal tribe shouldn’t be too far away from us,” Zhang Lisheng pouted while controlling Island Dragon to show itself, he then climbed onto the wizard worm’s back. He was thinking to himself what kind of reward he would obtain as they followed the natives’ footprints. Killing the entire native tribe would give him the ability to break through to Rank-4 Wizard at least, or even Rank-5 Wizard. It should not be too hard for him to do that if they were to attack the tribe.

After riding on Island Dragon in the dense rainforest for over ten minutes, the three of them finally heard faint crowd noise.

“I didn’t expect the escaper to have run so far away. Fortunately there were many natives going after him, otherwise, we might really not be able to find their lair. You guys hide when I attack later, I’ll do it myself. Hmm, an ordinary native tribe shouldn’t have more than 1,000 people. There would be even lesser for cannibals. I can finish it within one to two hours the most.”

Although they were cannibals, it was hundred to thousands of lives after all. Trish who was suffering the loss of her brother and hated cannibals to her core could not help but shudder when she heard Zhang Lisheng saying that so calmly. However, she had no objection on that matter at all. Instead, she said with her pale face while clenching her teeth, “We can take care of ourselves, you go ahead.”

It was easy to blame others, but hard to blame yourself. Sometimes one would only understand how difficult it was to forgive when the thing happened to the person himself. Zhang Lisheng nodded in silence and controlled Island Dragon to move towards where the sound was coming from. The loud human noise was getting louder, there was even flowing water sound. The young man chanted witchcraft incantation to get his wizard worm to stop. He said softly after getting off the Island Dragon’s back, “Tina, Trish, we’re very close to the native tribe. You guys hide somewhere.”

The two girls nodded and went off the Island Dragon’s back. They found a huge tree hollow that was everywhere in the jungle and hid in there, ignoring how dirty it was. Seeing that the girls had gone into hiding, Zhang Lisheng grabbed some mud from the ground and applied it all over his body. It was his disguise, he sneaked into the native tribe quietly.

“Be careful Lisheng,” Seeing the young man moving forward while bending his body, Tina showed her head from the tree hollow all of a sudden and said quickly. Zhang Lisheng turned his head calmly and did a cutting-throat sign. He walked towards the cannibal tribe one step after another in the dense jungle. Zhang Lisheng spent more than ten minutes to walk a short hundred of meters. Finally, a vast native tribe appeared before the young man after he controlled Island Dragon to tear a poisonous bramble silently.

The visible part of the tribe was up to tens of thousands of square meters, it was isolated with thick brambles. One could think that these brambles must have been planted by the natives on purpose, using it as a wall to defend wild beasts’ attack. A small river flowed from the lake outside the jungle into the tribe, it should be a drain that the natives dug.

There were more than ten tanned native women with their big breasts showing on both sides of the shallow drain. They had white powder on their faces and breasts, they were washing a bunch of berries while chatting and laughing, which sounded like gibberish.

The scene was completely different from the ferocious cannibal tribe Zhang Lisheng imagined. Moreover, the massive amount of berries the natives were washing showed that they most probably planted them. It would prove that the tribe did farming, which made them different from cannibals who hunted.

“Could there be another native tribe around here…” Zhang Lisheng frowned and mumbled as he hid in the bush while watching the natives women laughing by the drain. Although he was deadly cruel sometimes, he had a bottom line. If it was just a normal native tribe, he would leave silently.

Just when Zhang Lisheng was trying to make up his mind, two native men came out from a row of low mud huts far away. They had a wooden spear in each of their hand while holding a rope with a tied fat and dirty lady. The fat lady looked like she was 300 to 400 pounds, her fats were jiggling when she walked. Looking at her skin that was filled with dirt, he could forcefully tell that she was a white lady. The two natives brought the white lady to the drain.

When the two natives brought the white lady to the drain, the native women began washing the white lady strenuously and agilely with clean drain water, then they scooped with a wooden ladle after chatting with the men happily. The warm water rained on her naked body, it was so comfortable that the white lady whose body was so fat like a dough smiled on her face that she looked blank. Just when she smiled, the two wooden spears pierced through her neck. Blood was spurting out from the artery on the white lady’s neck. The natives laughed in joy when the blood got onto them.

“So this is their main course,” As he watched the natives letting the white woman bleed to death and washing the dirt on her body, Zhang Lisheng shifted his attention to the berries at the drain, “That’s just the side dish.”

He controlled Island Dragon to dash towards the smiling natives as he spoke. The first ones who were attacked were naturally the two native men who had a weapon with them. They were fighting with all of their might, although it was like a fly fighting a rabbit. Zhang Lisheng’s determination and cautious character was revealed entirely when he was killing them. At an instant, the cannibal tribe’s native men fell onto the ground after being torn apart. They had deadly fear on their faces that were filled with blood. Perhaps they were not afraid of death but feared the mysterious unknown.

However, the native women were surprisingly tough when they were fighting back. After the two tribe warriors fell without a reason, instead of running, they showed their blackish teeth and growled blindly. They did not even retreat a step back. No matter how fierce a tribe was, the women who cooked would never be tougher than men who hunted and fought. Such a thing puzzled Zhang Lisheng, but he did not show mercy at all. He chanted witchcraft incantation to control Island Dragon to attack with its claws and teeth instantly. Everything before him turned into a sea of blood.

Seeing that there were no standing enemies before him, Zhang Lisheng controlled Mountoad to hop out of his backpack. It expanded and followed by his side, they walked out of the jungle slowly. Looking at Zhang Lisheng’s cold eyes and the giant toad that was guided by its side, the dying natives by the drain naturally knew he was the one who attacked without having to communicate with each other.

At that moment, the native men and women had a 180-degree change of expression. Although they had lost all ability to fight back, the two native men were still hissing at him stubbornly with the attempt to threaten him. Most women, on the other hand, showed deadly fear and begging expression, they did not stop speaking gibberish in their native language. Some were knocking their heads on the ground.

“When you guys put people of your own kind in the recipe, you should be ready that you would be killed by people of your own kind,” Looking at the wailing natives, Zhang Lisheng inhaled the air with thick bloody smell around and mumbled to himself looking calm. At the moment, the sea of negative emotion gathered from the tens of natives gave the wizard power in his blood a stir. Countless witchcraft symbols floated in his head, there were tens of ferocious black and white ancient strange worms appearing faintly while crawling in a distorted way.

When the natives were dead, there were four sarcomas growing on Zhang Lisheng’s mandible. At an instant, a brand new wizard incantation appeared in his head and he had more than half of wizard power boosted in his blood. All of a sudden, Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth wide and released a silent scream. It scared all of the bugs away within 100 miles in the rainforest.

Tina and Trish were whispering in the tree hollow and guessing what Zhang Lisheng was doing. They were shocked to see the sea of bugs that appeared on the jungle ground like a carpet. They could not help but screamed. Fortunately, the sea of bugs disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. The two ladies looked at each other in the tree hollow and said nothing for a long time.
