Since it is fed with essence and blood, the quantity cannot be too much.
Hu Jiaojiao counted them carefully and found that there were still eight.
She looked at Long Mo, "This should be all the remaining bloodworms."
"There's something else there." Long Mo pointed to a small hidden space at the back.
"Could he have hidden something else here?" Hu Jiaojiao was surprised and approached Long Mo cautiously.
In the dim vision, a desiccated corpse came into view.
The corpse looked very thin, with the skin tightly attached to the bones, a true mummy.
"What is that?"
Hu Jiaojiao suddenly saw that there was something moving in the mummy's mouth.
Long Mo picked up the wooden stick and pried open the mummy's mouth.
Inside was a skinny bloodworm, sucking the flesh and blood from the dried corpse which was now without a trace of flesh and blood. Since it could not eat any flesh and blood, it could only die together with the dried corpse.
Fortunately, the bloodworm no longer had the strength to crawl out. Long Mo threw away the stick, and it could only perform a trick in the mummy's mouth.
"This should be a female corpse." Long Mo looked at the mummy indifferently and said lightly.
"How do you know it's a female? Because it looks very small?" Fox Jiaojiao asked curiously.
"No." Long Mo shook his head slowly, "The one who could be hidden here so carefully by Wu Liu must be his partner."
Some males are very short, so you can't tell anything based on their stature alone.
But the most precious thing to a male must be his partner.
Fox Jiaojiao was shocked.
"Since she was his partner, he used bloodworms on her?"
She just couldn't understand.
A normal orc would never let his partner use this kind of thing.
There is only one possibility, that is, the female does not like him.
Isn't Wu Liu deceiving himself? He forced females to become his partners and sucked them dry to keep them by his side.
A pure pervert!
Hu Jiaojiao just felt a chill.
"Jiaojiao, I won't let you get contaminated by this dirty stuff." Seeing Hu Jiaojiao's ugly face, Long Mo whispered the assurance.
He was afraid that Hu Jiaojiao would distrust him because of this.
"I know." Hu Jiaojiao nodded and took his arm, "This kind of perversion is still rare."
"Pervert?" Long Mo was confused by this new word.
"It's this kind of psychologically twisted orc who is willing to hurt other orcs in order to achieve his goals. In fact, the only orcs he cares about are himself." Fox Jiaojiao explained.
I didn't expect that there are such perverts in the orc world.
After hearing what Hu Jiaojiao said, Long Mo frowned subconsciously.
A trace of confusion flashed across Junyi's face, and he quickly added:
"I'm not a pervert. You're the one I care about most in my heart. I will never hurt you, Jiaojiao."
Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao looked at him with amusement.
"Of course I know you wouldn't do that."
The two checked every corner and made sure that there was nothing else they hadn't found. They decided to set the place on fire to avoid any accidents that might occur if the bloodworms were taken out.
There was no firewood in here, so Long Mo went out to get some wood to burn.
While Long Mo was away, Hu Jiaojiao sprinkled some gasoline on the ground.
Not long after, Long Mo dragged in a large bundle of wood and hay, filling the cave.
Hu Jiaojiao took out a fire starter from her bag, opened it, and blew out a flame.
The two of them moved a little further away, and Hu Jiaojiao threw the tinder on the hay.
The flames expanded rapidly, emitting scorching heat.
With the help of gasoline, the entire cave was soon engulfed in huge flames.
The black box was made of iron and could not be burned by fire. Long Mo opened it in advance, and the bloodworms inside had turned into ashes along with the mummy.
The two also quickly exited the cave.
"The bloodworms have been dealt with." Hu Jiaojiao said to Xie Man who was waiting outside the cave.
Xie Man, however, looked a little pale.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jiaojiao looked at him strangely.
"Langmie and Langshuo escaped." Xieman apologized in a dry voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect them."
He really didn't expect that Lang Shuo was already half dead and only had his last breath left, but Lang Mie would still take him away.
Just now, he and the orcs were all paying attention to the cave and did not notice Langmie's actions.
Thinking back on this, Xie Man felt full of self-blame.
"Run away?" Hu Jiaojiao was also stunned. Thinking of Lang Mie's loyal appearance, he really seemed like a beast that could do such a thing.
Can…
"What's the point of him running away? We won't kill him, so how can he find a witch doctor right away?"
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly.
Lang Shuo’s death is a foregone conclusion.
"You take the iron ore back first, and I will go and get them back." Xie Man said seriously.
He went to capture the orcs that he failed to protect himself.
"Forget it, no need to look for it."
Fox Jiaojiao shook her head.
"But there are still bloodworms on Lang Shuo's body..." Xie Man looked worried.
"It's okay. The bloodworms will only parasitize him. If he dies, the bloodworms will die with him."
Fox Jiaojiao explained.
This is what she and Long Mo had just discovered in the cave.
The bloodworm in the mummy's mouth has a sharp spike on its tail, and is connected to the mummy. It can only move around in the mummy's body, but cannot leave the mummy.
Hu Jiaojiao guessed that this was probably to prevent the orcs from escaping the control of the bloodworms.
If you want to separate them, you can only use force to break them.
But that would most likely put the orcs' lives in danger.
Xie Man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Hu Jiaojiao say this.
Now that the bloodworm problem has been resolved, it’s time for Hu Jiaojiao and her group of orcs to go back.
The animals packed their luggage quickly, transformed into animal form, carried the animal hide bags filled with ore on their backs, and were ready to go.
Also returning with them were the beast slaves brought back by Lang Shuo.
They were unwilling to stay in the Canglang Tribe and begged Hu Jiaojiao to take them back with them.
Hu Jiaojiao thought that Hu Lin's tribe could just accommodate them and could also help build a new tribe. After explaining the situation to the beast slaves, she let them make their own choice.
All the beast slaves hope to leave here.
Hu Jiaojiao agreed to take them with her.
The Gray Wolf Orcs had no objection to this.
Without Langmie and Langshuo, they all became dejected, like defeated roosters.
There is an agreement between Lang Shuo and Hu Jiaojiao. The Canglang orc promised Hu Jiaojiao that he would never burn, kill or loot again.
Hu Jiaojiao was very satisfied with this result.
When a group of orcs were preparing to set off.
Fox Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something and found the smart orc who told her the secret.
"Has your tribe ever captured a cub before?"
"Is it the black, skinny, dirty and smelly cub..." The orc nodded immediately, describing while recalling.
"Yes, it's him." Hu Jiaojiao asked, "Where is he now?"
The orc hesitated, "He died... a few days after he was captured."
He thought Hu Jiaojiao wanted to settle the score with them.
"He's dead." When Hu Jiaojiao heard the news, she just frowned but didn't ask any further questions.
That was Lu Li's own fault.
