Chapter 364: Chapter 168: Lin Ci Shows Power, Purifying Pollution_1

Lin Baici felt that those two beams of light were intimidating, meant to instill fear in humans, but also deceptive, a feint, to make everyone believe that a person’s sudden death was due to the Pharaoh’s curse, not the insects.

Though the pollution of the rules had already been inconceivable, these were, after all, insects with physical bodies.

Exposed to the light, and insects would grow inside your body?

Lin Baici still found it hard to believe.

[These insects are called Blood Flesh Scarab Beetles, cultivated through curses and mystical herbs. They have two forms, one is the insect form, and the other is a mist form. When they land on a living being, they can enter through the pores.]

[They are particularly fond of drinking fresh blood.]

[In ancient Egypt, some Pharaohs liked to use these cursed Blood Flesh Scarab Beetles to punish slaves and to create mummies for burials!]

Commented Eater God.

[You’re right, those two beams of light are a distraction, making people think death is due to a curse, thus overlooking the Blood Flesh Scarab Beetles inside their bodies!]

If this detail remains unnoticed, then no matter how hard a God Hunter works, they’ll never survive or purify the rule pollution.

Lin Baici had an epiphany.

The scene was dimly lit and shrouded in black fog, making any other mists hard to detect. When Hua Yue Yu scratched her back subconsciously, it was actually the faint irritation caused by the mist-formed beetles entering their bodies.

When Lin Baici had asked Hua Yue Yu, he was somewhat alert, but who would have thought there were also beetles that could turn into mist?

It seemed he would have to be even more careful in the future. In the God’s ruins, no detail could be overlooked.

However, knowing the cause of death was of little use, as he couldn’t exactly perform surgery to remove the beetles, could he?

[Inside a living organism, the Blood Flesh Scarab Beetles gradually transform from mist to insect form, then begin to suck blood while secreting a toxin!]

[Once the toxin reaches a certain dosage, the organism dies!]

[The healthier the organism, the longer it survives!]

Lin Baici curled his lips, it seemed that no matter what you do, having a healthy body is always a benefit!

[These scarab beetles become less active under extreme cold or heat, and if the temperature changes drastically, they will flee a living body due to their survival instincts!]

Hearing this, Lin Baici immediately took a large pile of firewood and charcoal from the Black Tripod Bowl and made a small mound.

Everyone was stunned.

"What’s with that backpack of yours?"

The sales guy was shocked. How could so much stuff fit in such a small backpack?

If you used this for smuggling,

wouldn’t you make a killing?

Because the Black Tripod Bowl was in the backpack, the sales guy didn’t quite understand, but such a little trick couldn’t deceive the woman in red.

There must be space forbidden items inside that backpack!

In the woman’s eyes in red, a glint of greed flashed through. An artifact that could carry so much was priceless, its value for exploring the God’s ruins went without saying.

Supplies were the lifeline.

After dousing the woodpile with a bucket of gasoline, Lin Baici set it ablaze.

Boom!

Flames leaped up, and the orange glow illuminated the area, dispelling some of the darkness.

"Come and warm up by the fire!"

Lin Baici called out to Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin.

The woman in red moved closer without hesitation.

As the crowd surged, although they didn’t know why they needed to move closer to the campfire, following Lin Baici seemed like the right thing to do.

The Pufferfish squeezed through, looking slender but surprisingly strong. With a push of his arms, he cleared the people in front of him to the side.

"Make some room, everyone, let me in!"

"Save me a spot!"

"Come on, move over a bit!"

Everyone wanted to get to the fire first, but there were too many people, inevitably leading to a crush.

"You people are shameless!"

Hua Yue Yu scolded the crowd, "How did you treat Lin Baici just a moment ago? Do you still have the face to come and warm yourselves by the fire?"

The crowd turned awkward, but they weren’t about to leave.

Lin Baici didn’t send them away, mainly because he needed some expendables for the upcoming exploration.

However, the way these people had accused him earlier had also left him feeling disappointed. He definitely wouldn’t help them again.

Let fate decide then!

"Look, it’s standing up!"

The guy in the hoodie exclaimed.

The burly man who had been sitting on the pyramid steps stood up, staring over here, especially at Lin Baici. Even through a mask, everyone could feel his hatred, as if he wanted to devour the young man.

"It seems that even the mask has limited control over these beetles, otherwise it could have just made the beetles inside everyone kill them."

Seeing that the burly man was at his wit’s end, Lin Baici knew that this bout of rule pollution should be broken.

The fire grew bigger and hotter, making everyone uncomfortably roasted by the intense heat, feeling as if their skin was about to char, but they endured, seeing that Lin Baici wasn’t moving.

One by one, they started to sweat profusely.

Just as Lin Baici was considering whether to add more charcoal or gasoline, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach, like the nausea one gets from motion sickness.

Beside him, Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin’s expressions changed, both clutching their stomachs.

"How do you feel?"

Lin Baici patted the anchorwoman’s back.

"I..."

Hua Yue Yu couldn’t finish her sentence before she retched, vomiting a large pool of fresh, red blood, which contained a chestnut-sized insect.

Upon exposure to air, it seemed panicked, its eight legs flailing desperately, trying to crawl away.
