Chapter 528: Brain-eating worms invade, causing heavy losses to the human race
Wang Bin scolded Wang Ziyu, the unfilial son, and felt much better.
The matter ended here. He felt much more at ease leaving it to Chu Qingluan. It seemed that young people could not be reused and needed to be trained.
During these five years, Hu Niu cultivated more than 100,000 green rock turtle monsters, Wang Bin extracted 30 drops of Xuanwu blood essence, and the Xuanwu Dharma image was also cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.
Now Wang Bin can release three Dharma images at the same time, and his physical defense has also improved a lot, although it still cannot withstand the attack of the power of law from the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Qilin's blood essence is already being cultivated on a large scale, and we'll have it by next year.
By then I will be able to cultivate the Qilin Dharma Image, but it will be a pity for Dahuang.
It doesn't even know that it already has tens of thousands of offspring.
Wang Bin went to Baiyun City, Huludao, and Xingchen Island, but found no problems, so he began his retreat again.
He has refined thirty drops of Black Tortoise blood in the past few years, and his physical body and spiritual consciousness are about to break through.
He plans to remain in seclusion for another half a year so that his cultivation can be improved.
Unfortunately, Wang Bin’s retreat was forcibly interrupted after only a dozen days.
Du Juan, Liu Yiyi, Chu Qingluan, Qin Wenjun and others kept triggering the formation outside the secret room where Wang Bin was in seclusion.
Wang Bin was forcibly interrupted from his retreat and saw the anxious expressions of the women.
Wang Bin knew something big had happened as soon as he walked out of the secret room.
Du Juan said anxiously:
"My dear husband, something terrible has happened. Venerable Fire Phoenix wants to see you urgently and needs you to attend a meeting in Sihai City immediately.
Someone has been sent to inform me that mortals have started to die in Baiyun Academy in recent days.
Thousands of mortals have died in Baiyun City in the past few days. I heard that mortals in those mortal countries are dying city by city."
Looking at the anxious women, Wang Bin glanced at the voice transmission token, in which Venerable Fire Phoenix only sent a few words.
"Come to Sihai City to discuss matters immediately! It's urgent! Urgent!"
"You guys hold Baiyun City steady. I'm going to Sihai City to check out the situation first!"
Time was running out, so Wang Bin only gave a few instructions and took the teleportation array to Sihai City.
As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, he flew directly into the air, activated the Purple Lightning Dragon Body, and soon appeared in the courtyard of the Fire Phoenix Venerable.
As we flew along, we found that many places in Sihai City were in chaos. Jindan cultivators and dead mortals could be seen everywhere, as if all the Jindan cultivators in the city had come out.
At this time, Venerable Fire Phoenix was the only one in the yard.
"You're finally here! You're the last one to arrive, the others have already gone to treat mortals.
Time is running out, so to make it short, the demon tribe attacked us first, and we haven't yet figured out who did it."
Venerable Fire Phoenix waited for Wang Bin to sit down before taking out a crystal bottle.
Inside was a small transparent worm, shaped like a deep-sea plankton, less than one-tenth the length of a grain of rice and only one-tenth the length of a hair.
Its entire body is transparent and gelatinous, dotted with several spider-silk-thin tentacles. It is almost transparent in the water and requires spiritual sense to see.
"We call this the 'brain-eating worm'; that's the name we gave it.
Just as its name suggests, it specializes in eating brains. It can easily penetrate into the body of a mortal and enter the human brain through the blood.
Then it lurks deep within the mortal's brain, using brain fluid as nourishment while releasing trace amounts of neurotoxins.
The infected person initially feels dizzy and sleepy. After three days, they begin to experience auditory and visual hallucinations. Within five days, their consciousness becomes blurred as if they are in a fog.
After seven days, the toxin will completely corrode the central nervous system, and the mortal will die of brain depletion in madness or coma.
After death, the eyes were wide open, and there were very light sea-blue threads remaining in the eyes.
After the brain-eating worms absorb the brain marrow in the brain, they will split into more brain-eating worms in the human brain.
Once they encounter water, they can immediately blend into the water and follow the water flow into the mind of the next creature.
Now, large numbers of brain-eating worms have begun to appear in the waters of the human race, and across the entire True Spirit Continent, mortals are beginning to die in large numbers."
Wang Bin used his spiritual sense to carefully observe the insect. It was a very ordinary insect, without any spiritual energy, and its vitality magnetic field was very weak.
But this is only for a strong person like me. It is completely different for ordinary people.
"What should we do now? How should we deal with this?"
Wang Bin was also a little frightened when he saw the insect. There was actually such a terrifying thing.
Venerable Fire Phoenix sighed and said:
"The only way to prevent it now is not to drink raw water from the ground. Water must be boiled before drinking. When the water is boiled, the brain-eating worm will die.
We must also prevent it from entering the body through the skin, as it has little effect on monks.
But it has a huge impact on mortals, especially once it enters the mind.
Only a Jindan cultivator can use his spiritual consciousness to directly shock it to death.
Although the spiritual consciousness of cultivators below the Jindan stage can detect its location, once the brain-eating worm enters the brain.
The control of spiritual consciousness by cultivators below the Jindan stage is not so delicate, and it is easy to shatter the brains of mortals and brain-eating worms together.
What you need to do now is to lead all the cultivators in Baiyun City to protect the mortals within your sphere of influence.
This brain-eating worm can lurk in a mortal's brain for seven days. You should ask the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators to examine the mortal's brain.
Once the parasite is discovered, let the Jindan cultivator shock it to death immediately, which will be more efficient.
It has now been discovered that its only weakness is that it must live in water or within a host's body. The brain-eating worm will die within an hour of leaving the water.
As for how to deal with the brain-eating worms in the water source, their origin, and what to do next, our Human King Sect is still investigating. The most important thing is to save people first!
Hey! The brain-eating worms have been invading the human race on a large scale for at least ten days now, and our Human King Sect only learned of this news today.
Those mortal countries didn't even have a foundation-building cultivator, so how could the cultivators care about the life and death of some mortals? Only when a large number of mortals died, this matter was discovered and reported!
"Okay! I'll go back and arrange it right away!"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Wang Bin stopped talking nonsense and quickly returned to Baiyun City with the sample brain-eating worm.
He immediately summoned Du Juan and the others to a meeting, except Dongfang Wan and Hu Niu who were in the secret realm.
All the other clansmen with cultivation levels above foundation building have come.
Wang Bin took out the crystal bottle with a serious face and introduced the brain-eating worm according to what Venerable Fire Phoenix had just said.
"That's the situation. Wang Zong is not sure about the specific reason for the time being.
But the situation is urgent, and the most important thing now is to send someone to inform mortals that all drinking water and food must be cooked.
Send all cultivators above the foundation-building stage to the surrounding mortal countries to rescue the mortals.
In this situation now, we can only focus on prevention. There are too many mortals, and our entire Wang family only has dozens of cultivators above the Jindan level. Let's save as many people as we can!
Every Jindan cultivator brings a Jindan monster, and brings all the Jindan monsters from the Flame Mad Lion clan and the Star Spirit Turtle clan.
At the same time, you gather the monks in Baiyun City and ask them to go and help.
Just offer a higher remuneration. I will personally be in charge of the dispatch in Baiyun City. If you have any questions, please contact me using the communication token!
Remember to leave a team in Baiyun City to start the inspection!"
"Master! I've memorized its scent. I can smell where it is!"
Dahuang stood up immediately. Ever since he found his Taoist partner and became a real man, he has not been as reckless as before and is now much more mature in his actions.
Wang Bin's eyes lit up and he almost forgot about Da Huang. Its sense of smell was so sensitive, it was just right for him to find the source of the brain-eating worm.
"Everyone else do what you're told, Da Huang stay!"
