Chapter 350: The Reappearance of the Parasites

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

As more and more insects appeared, the voices became more and more noisy. However, amidst the cries of the children, they did not attract the attention of others.

A small insect slowly climbed onto the wooden horse in the amusement park and onto the body of a little boy. Then, it silently burrowed into his ear.

The little boy only felt uncomfortable and cried loudly like he’s gone insane. The little boy’s parents were a little bewildered and did not know what was wrong with their child.

Bang.

Without any warning, the little boy’s entire body exploded. Blood splattered everywhere. Everyone around was stunned. The little boy’s parents were only more horrified by the sudden turn of events.

However, the little boy’s body did not collapse. Instead, it turned into a huge worm that opened its maw and brandished its claws. It dragged the little boy’s parents straight into its mouth. After chewing for a few times, it swallowed them.

Immediately, the entire amusement park fell into chaos. The people in the amusement park probably would not forget such a terrifying scene for the rest of their lives.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

As more and more insects appeared, countless people exploded. It wasn’t just children anymore, but also those adults.

“These… These are parasites!”

“The parasitic species has appeared again…”

The people of Dragonlith City were very familiar with the parasitic species. When they saw these horrifying huge parasites, they immediately thought of the parasitic Screwworms.

The parasitic species had reappeared. This tragedy did not only occur in the amusement park. In various places in Dragonlith City, such as restaurants, squares, stations, and so on, wherever there was dense traffic, the parasitic species appeared.

The alarm in Dragonlith City had long been raised. The law enforcement team quickly mobilized.

Owing to the Dragonlith City’s special status, there was even a Legate overseeing it. However, the Divine Realm Legate was also at his wits’ end now, because he had no idea how these parasites had entered Dragonlith City at all.

In the past, weren’t those Screwworms all huge and conspicuous? Moreover, there were frontline bases. How did these parasites bypass the frontline bases?

However, the moment he saw those tiny mantis-like parasites, he understood.

Beep-beep-beep.

The Legate picked up the call.

“The frontline bases have all fallen… Please evacuate quickly. The parasitic species is here again…”

“Again?”

The Legate’s expression was grim and uncertain. The information from the frontline base had come too late. The parasite race had already infiltrated Dragonlith City. The entire population of Dragonlith City, numbering in millions, was in danger.

“Die!”

The Legate struck out with his palm. Terrifying Astral Power condensed into a huge palm that slapped numerous parasites to death. However, this was only a very small portion of the parasites.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, a parasite, still very tiny, charged straight towards the Legate with a scarlet light.

Thump.

The Legate’s eyes widened. What did he see? Even the Astral Power in his body could not stop this tiny parasite from boring into his body.

“No, no…”

The Legate panicked. He wanted to expel the parasite from his body, but that parasite seemed to possess powerful strength. It was not an ordinary parasite at all.

Boom.

Finally, the Legate exploded as well. At the moment of his death, he finally realized that this was no ordinary parasite, but a demon general!

But if even the demon generals of the parasitic species were so good at disguise, was this really the end of humanity?

Chaos. The entire Dragonlith City was in chaos. Be it the five major factions or the law enforcement team, they could no longer control the situation in Dragonlith City.

This time, the parasitic species seemed to have come prepared. Moreover, they seemed to have “evolved”, becoming more adept at disguise and stronger.

“Quick, inform Lord Sage…”

The situation was out of control. They could only inform the Sages of humanity and pray for the descent of the Sages to stop this calamity.

…

“Why hasn’t Sage Lin Feng emerged after so many days?”

“Could something have gone wrong?”

“The Dead Sea of Abyss is filled with danger, and we can’t contact Sage Lin Feng now. We can only wait for now.”

Ten days had already passed. The eight Sages at the shore of the Dead Sea of Abyss were all a little worried. After all, Lin Feng had already entered the Dead Sea of Abyss for ten days, but he still had not returned.

Even Sages did not dare to enter the Dead Sea of Abyss lightly. That was why they were so worried.

However, they had an agreement on the duration of one month with Lin Feng. As long as the duration of one month was not up, they would continue to wait.

Beep-beep-beep.

Suddenly, the communicators of the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, and the others rang.

“What’s going on?”

Sage Kang and the others looked at each other. Then, the communicators of the Sages from the military faction rang. Almost all the communicators of the eight Sages rang.

The communicators of the eight Sages rang one after another. All the Sages’ expressions changed. Could something major have happened in human society? Otherwise, how could the eight Sages all be notified at once?

Hence, the Sages all picked up their communicators.

“What? The parasitic species has appeared again?”

“Moreover, the entire Dragonlith City is in danger. Even the Legate has been parasitized.”

“At least half of the million people in Dragonlith City have been parasitized…”

The eight Sages received the news at the same time, and this news was too shocking. It left the eight Sages in disbelief, and they were all stunned at the same time.

Hadn’t the parasitic species been annihilated the last time? Why were the parasitic species making a comeback this time?

Moreover, how had the situation become so dire?

“Invincible Fist Sage, I remember that you were the one investigating the parasitic species, right?”

Sage Kang’s expression darkened. Millions of people had been parasitized. How great a loss was this?

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression was also very solemn. He did not avoid his responsibility. This was indeed his negligence.

“Sage Kang, I was indeed in charge of the investigation of the parasitic species. However, I did not find out that there were other parasites back then, just like how the parasitic species in Dragonlith City appeared out of thin air. After that, the parasitic species had not appeared again, so I did not continue the investigation.”

The Invincible Fist Sage also clenched his fists tightly. His negligence had caused humanity to pay such a heavy price now.

“Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. How should we deal with it?” Sage Yuanyi hurriedly said.

“I’ll go to Dragonlith City to deal with the parasites! I will definitely get them all this time and wipe them out completely without reprieve!” The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth and said.

However, Sage Kang frowned and said, “No one can say for sure how strong those parasites are after making a comeback. It’s not prudent for the Invincible Fist Sage to go alone. I think we should send half of our forces. Four Sages will go, and the rest will still wait here to reinforce Sage Lin Feng.”

“We’ll go with the Invincible Fist Sage.”

Sage Bingyu and Sage Cass stepped forward. The three Sages of the academic faction had always advanced and retreated together.

“Count me in.”

Sage Claus also stepped forward. He was prepared to “make amends”. After all, he had joined forces with Sage Batai last time. Even though Lin Feng did not hold him accountable, he still felt a little guilty.

“All right, thank you for your trouble, Sages!”

Sage Kang nodded. Hence, the four Sages immediately boarded their airships and rushed towards Dragonlith City.
