The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 545



Chapter 545

Many guards came in, after seeing the scene inside the room, those who were bold still fell weakly to the ground while those who were more timid immediately fainted in shock .


While the people found it creepy, those corpses suddenly emitted cracking sounds . It was like ear-piercing sounds those skeletons made when they were moving .

The Ling Emperor looked at those corpses and his face was pale . He seemed to have heard that they were killed miserably, suffering from great pain and so on .

”Immediately clear them out, use fire to burn, quickly,” The Ling Emperor disregarded his image as he shouted loudly .

Quite a number of guards were afraid . They were stammering and did not dare to go up to the corpses .

”I’m ordering you all to clean it immediately,” Seeing them stammering and not daring to take action, the Ling Emperor was furious in his heart, they were a bunch of trash, they were unable to do anything good during crucial moments .

The leader of the guards summoned his courage, he instructed his subordinates to carry those corpses out before another group came in to clean up and lit the incense . After a while, the strong scent of blood was gone .


But the Ling Emperor did not wish to continue remaining there, as long as he entered, he couldn’t help but recall the pile of corpses .

They had died while standing, it was what caused the Ling Emperor to feel fearful .

”Your majesty, we’re ready . ”

”Burn them,” As long as they were all burned, not a single trace would remain .

The Ling Emperor stood at the entrance as he watched the guards placing firewood around those corpses, they even poured tung oil[1] on it .

The leader of the guards took the torch and threw it at the pile of corpses .

When the Ling Emperor gradually relaxed, he suddenly heard squeaking sounds, he subconsciously looked towards the flames .

What did he see? He saw many black unknown tiny worms heading over towards them .

Those tiny worms first touched the guard’s bodies, the Ling Emperor then could hear miserable screams, it was not all, through the armor, those worms could devour a living person to the bones .

The Ling Emperor hurriedly entered the room and closed the door tightly .

”Your majesty, we can only seek the master from Miaojiang to help . ”

”Right, right, quickly invite him over . ”

An old man hurried over after a short while . When he then saw the black worms as well as the white bones on the ground, the old man had horror in his eyes .

Could it be that there was a Miaojiang expert? But Miaojiang and Ling Empire were allies, they wouldn’t attack each other .

There was only one possibility, it was someone else .

”Master, quickly help us,” The Ling Emperor’s voice was filled with horror, his gaze when looking at those worms was like they would take his life away .

The master shook his head in a helpless manner, he took out a little bottle, there was some liquid inside . He scattered the liquid in the air .

The worms that touched the liquid instantly turned to ashes .

Not only so, those worms which did not touch it were like moths flying towards the fire after smelling the liquid as they crawled towards the old man .

The Ling Emperor was at ease after all the worms were destroyed, the old man then asked him what was going on .

The Ling Emperor gulped down his saliva and told the whole story, the old man frowned after hearing it: “This would not happen if you all did not burn those corpses,” He was certain the other party delivered those corpses and was waiting for them to burn them .

But was the Regent’s daughter really that amazing? To think she’d be able to obtain such things .

Fortunately, those worms were only the lowest grade of Gu worms, they reproduced quickly . If they were at a higher level, he was afraid that other than the person who made those worms, even he would have no way to handle it .

The Ling Emperor looked at the old man in a dumbfounded manner, it seems to be caused by the fire .

”Master, what should I do right now?” After this incident, the Ling Emperor almost died in fright, how could he dare to do anything else .

”For the time being, do not attack those people, there are experts on their side,” That person was absolutely more amazing than him, he still could not understand how the other party had handled those Gu worms .

The secret guards from the Regent’s Residence saw everything in the dark, they looked at each other and quietly left, their hearts kept twitching . It was indeed not enough .

[1] Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree . Tung oil hardens upon exposure to air, and the resulting coating is transparent and has a deep, almost wet look .
