The soldiers, who had just been hesitant to attack these women because they looked much like normal people, were now stunned by the sight before them.

These women had so many worms inside their bodies.

Now they finally understood the meaning of the sentence that these insects were produced by those women.

So all those big bellies they were carrying were filled with worms.

No, it seems that not only are their stomachs full of worms, but their entire bodies are worms except for the skin they wear on the outside.

The soldiers who had hesitated to strike earlier were now shivering with fear, and without further hesitation, they swiftly attacked the pregnant women with their knives.

Within moments, several women had their necks chopped off.

Large numbers of insects surged and fled to the ground.

Ji Yunshuang prevented the pregnant woman from escaping while simultaneously setting the place on fire...

Thick black smoke rose from the scene.

The stench mixed with the thick black smoke, creating a nauseating smell.

Everyone fought while enduring nausea, and only when the sun was directly overhead did they finally kill all the women and insects that tried to escape.

After Ji Yunshuang burned all the insect corpses and those strange human skins to ashes, the soldiers finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

One soldier sat on the ground, looking completely disheveled, and said, "Finally, it's all over! My God, this was more tiring than killing Qi dogs on the battlefield!"

"Qi Gou isn't that creepy!"

"That's right. No matter how despicable the Qi dogs are, they are still human beings. Unlike these ghostly things, which are so strange and eerie!"

……

Many soldiers sat together, comparing the insects to the Qi army.

Some people exclaimed that the protective suits Ji Yunshuang found were really good; if it weren't for the protective suits, they would have been overtaken by these insects long ago.

Some soldiers lay on the ground, silent. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk; they were simply too exhausted.

My throat is parched and burning, and my hands are trembling...

After the crisis subsided, hunger and sleepiness overwhelmed them. But the experience they had just gone through left them unable to eat or sleep.

And so many innocent people, they might be someone's mother, or someone's sister...

But these people were all turned into monsters by the witch, forcing them to point their swords at them.

Thinking of the wicked witch, someone finally remembered and asked Ji Yunshuang, "My lord, have the witch and Prince Duan been killed?"

The soldiers all turned to look at Ji Yunshuang.

Unlike the soldiers who sat down on the ground without any decorum, Ji Yunshuang stood lazily at this moment.

She appeared to be lost in thought, but in reality, she was using her telekinesis to search the vicinity, trying to confirm that all the insects had been killed, and whether any had managed to escape.

Hearing the soldier's question, she nodded slightly, "Yes!"

She did not withdraw her mental power when she answered.

Suddenly, she realized something, drew her sword, and rushed out.

The soldiers were startled by his actions, and some immediately got up to see what was going on.

But they had been fighting intensely for too long since last night, and then relaxed just now. For a moment, their movements seemed a bit clumsy, and they couldn't catch up immediately.

"You guys rest here, I'll go!" As soon as Lu Yinheng finished speaking, he followed Ji Yunshuang out.

He caught up with Ji Yunshuang very quickly.

At that moment, Ji Yunshuang slashed at a rabbit with her knife. The rabbit was killed, and a worm crawled out from inside.

Upon seeing the appearance of the worm, Lu Yinheng's expression changed drastically.

"Can that insect possess a live bird and escape?"

If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult; they have countless live birds in the forest.

Doesn't that mean a lot of insects ran away with the live poultry?

After killing the worm, Ji Yunshuang burned it and the rabbit's carcass to ashes before saying, "There shouldn't be many that escape by possessing live birds."

At least, after searching with her telekinetic powers for so long, she only found this one: a heart-devouring worm that had possessed a rabbit and was trying to escape.

Lu Yinheng still asked with some concern, "Won't the birds and beasts in the mountains contract diseases?"

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment and said, "That's possible!"

Lu Yinheng's brows furrowed immediately.

Wild animals roam freely in the mountains, making them difficult to monitor. They also cannot kill all of them simply because they suspect they might be infected.

And even if they wanted to kill them all, they simply didn't have the manpower to do so. There were still many villages infected with the disease that needed to be dealt with…

After a while, Ji Yunshuang added, "However, that's not necessarily true!"

She had previously relied on her post-apocalyptic experience to deal with these insects. However, after comparing them over the past few days, she discovered that these insects were quite different from the mutated insects and plants of the post-apocalyptic world.

These insects are clearly controlled by the witch, if she was indeed killed by her.

For some reason, she thought of the witch's eerie smile when she died.

She felt a vague unease, sensing that she had some other trick up her sleeve.

But what's their next move?

Ji Yunshuang couldn't figure it out for a moment. She said, "Let's go back first, take the soldiers down the mountain to wash up, and then we can talk about the rest."

Lu Yinheng nodded, and the two walked back together.

Upon seeing the two return, the soldiers hurriedly asked what had happened.

Ji Yunshuang said calmly, "A worm escaped by attaching itself to the rabbit, but it doesn't matter, I've already killed both the worm and the rabbit."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all praised Ji Yunshuang's prowess.

They didn't notice anything unusual, but she even noticed something as subtle as an insect attaching itself to a rabbit and escaping.

Some soldiers were curious about how Ji Yunshuang discovered it, and why they hadn't noticed anything.

Before Ji Yunshuang could answer, a soldier slapped the one who had asked the question and said, "Can you compare yourself to the lord? What doesn't the lord know? If it weren't for the lord, would we be alive today?"

Leaving aside the soldier who asked the question, the rest of the people echoed and praised Ji Yunshuang once again.

Ji Yunshuang didn't need to bother making up excuses to explain, and was happy to be relaxed.

However, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to these soldiers praising her to her face.

She raised her hand and said, "Alright, stop flattering me. We're going down the mountain now; let's find a place to rest."

We have now killed the witch and the prince, but many villagers are still suffering from the plague, so we cannot let our guard down.

"Once everything is settled, I'll treat you all to a feast at a grand restaurant. There will be rewards for everyone!"

The soldiers, who were so tired they didn't even want to move their fingers, felt their energy return after hearing her words.

The soldiers marched down the mountain with high morale.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang, who had just said a few words and had already energized the soldiers again, Lu Yinheng's eyes flashed with admiration.

Even among his previous troops, none had been as good at inspiring morale as she was.
