A disgusting worm

Silence was usually used in duels between Mages, because many spells could only be cast by chanting spells. As long as the opponent's mouth was sealed, a lot of spells couldn't be performed. But in fact, this spell wasn't very useful for the players, because the Mages pursued speed and explosiveness. They would try their best to reduce the chanting time to the minimum, or even to cast the spells instantly.

Although the chanting spells were more powerful, the players believed that it was very feasible to sacrifice the power for the chanting speed. It was indeed powerful to chant one spell at the same time, but if they cast three spells of the same level that were slightly less powerful, the explosive power would be much greater. Also, a faster chanting speed meant a more flexible way of fighting, which was very important in a duel between experts.

That was because the players could resurrect infinitely, and fast-paced battles were common among the players. Player Spellcasters often finished a battle in two to three minutes, but NPCs were different. They pursued extreme completion of magic power. Although they pursued chanting speed, they cared more about the amount of magic power that could be gathered at the same time. In comparison, NPC Spellcasters had the habit of chanting for a long time. Therefore, Silence was very popular among them. However, because Silence didn't completely stop the person from speaking, it only selected certain words and filtered certain sensitive words. That's why Silence had to be inputted into the nodes of Silence before the spell was cast in order to be effective.

That was exactly what happened to Rex right now. He was under the Silence of a certain word, so he couldn't say anything. Liang Lidong grabbed his collar and threw him to the corner of the table, before he said, "Write it out yourself. Hurry up. My patience is limited."

Rex rubbed his chest and stood up. The place where Liang Lidong stepped on was still stinging. He said angrily, "I'm a noble. Aren't you afraid that my people will come after you for treating me like this?"

"I'm a noble too, a Divine Noble. It's not hard to deal with your clansmen. "Liang Lidong smiled." In terms of bloodline, I'm much stronger than you. I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, I will slowly torture you. I don't know if you have heard of a kind of torture called the Death of a Thousand Cuts. You use a sharp knife to cut the prisoner. Every time you cut the prisoner's flesh like cicada wings. You have to cut the prisoner a thousand times before he dies. It's even more painful than going to hell. "

Rex's triangular eyes trembled as he listened to Liang Lidong's creepy words. His teeth chattered non-stop, and he finally said after quite a while, "You must kill me? Can you let me go? Even if you don't let me go, my wife and children won't get better! I can give you a lot of money, and they will never appear in front of you again. "

"I know the temperament of nobles … It is our nature to go back on our words, there is no need to do this. Since you want to turn me into a chimera, then you should be prepared to be killed by me. " Liang Lidong chuckled. "Also, I have killed many people, including men and women, young and old. So, don't expect me to let your family go just by begging for mercy. If you write it now, you can die painlessly. If you don't write it, I will let you die a painful death, and then I will investigate it myself. It will just take more time. "

"I … I!" Rex held the table and kept shaking his body. The fear of death made him unable to think. Then, he couldn't even speak coherently. In such a situation, he couldn't write at all.

How troublesome! According to the message from the Fog Riding Spell, the mayor's wife was already on her way here. Although the thick fog blocked her vision and movement speed, she would arrive here in another two to three minutes. After all, the castle was her home, and she was very familiar with the terrain here.

"How about this? If you write it, I can consider letting your wife and children go," Liang Lidong said coldly as he looked out of the window.

"Really?"

"I can't promise you anything, but you can try to trust me."

Rex looked at Liang Lidong's calm expression. As a noble, he knew how to read people's expressions. So, he could tell that Liang Lidong had already made up his mind to do it. After a brief moment of hesitation, he began to cry. He covered his face with both hands and howled miserably. However, Liang Lidong remained unmoved. After crying for about ten seconds, he wrote a name on the table while twitching. Liang Lidong walked over. When he was about to take a look, he found that Rex's body suddenly swelled up weirdly, like a balloon that was rapidly inflating.

F * ck!

Liang Lidong cursed in his heart. He turned around and ran out of the room. With his agile movements and the speed boost provided by the Fog Riding skill, he dashed out of the door like the wind. Then, he rolled to the left. Just as he squatted and leaned against the wall, a boom echoed in the room, like the sound of a balloon exploding. Blood and flesh spurted out of the room like a fountain. Very soon, the whole floor was filled with a disgusting stench.

Liang Lidong snapped his fingers and deactivated the Fog Riding Spell. At this moment, the mayor's wife rushed up from downstairs. She looked at the disgusting flesh and blood at the door, and then asked Liang Lidong, "Mr. Beta, what happened?"

There was an obvious reproach in her words, as well as a faint sense of wariness.

Liang Lidong pointed at the pool of flesh and said, "His Excellency Rex self-detonated."

"Self-detonated? What's going on? " The mayor's wife was obviously infuriated. An ally of a noble had died in her home in such a miserable way. If the news got out, Longman would have to face all the nobles in Winterwind. "The fog just now was your masterpiece, wasn't it? You probably had something to do with Rex's death, didn't you?"

Liang Lidong nodded. "I did have something to do with it … Although I did want to kill him, I didn't kill him."

"Then who?"

Liang Lidong walked to the door. "You'll know after you go in."

The mayor's wife extended her hand to her calf, where there was a venomous dagger. But after a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and followed him.

Stepping on the sticky flesh and blood, they walked into the room, only to see that the walls and the ceiling of the room had been painted red, with drops of blood dripping down. At the side of the table, where Rex was standing, there was only a red skeleton lying on the ground.

Liang Lidong walked close and poked the skeletons with his shoes. Then he turned around and said, "It's obvious. It's the Necromancer's Corpse Explosion."

"Are you saying that Rex is a dead man?" The mayor's wife stared back at Liang Lidong as if he were treating her as an idiot. "That's a good mistake."

"Who told you that Corpse Explosion can only work on a human body?" Liang Lidong pointed at the skull of the skeleton. "Look carefully. Isn't there a hole on the skull?"

The mayor's wife looked carefully and found a hole on the top of the skull. It was very small, about the size of a toothpick.

Liang Lidong said, "You'll find something if you break the skull."

The mayor's wife was not entirely convinced. Eventually, she stepped forward and stomped on the skull. As a melee professional, the mayor's wife was strong enough even if she was a woman. The skull cracked and broke into several pieces. Then, she withdrew her foot, only to find a fat, motionless worm in the middle of the broken bones. It had clearly been dead for a while.

"What is this?!" The mayor's wife had a look of disgust on her face.

"A puppet brain worm! It's a special life form between a creature and a spirit. It can be used as a medium for Corpse Explosion. " Liang Lidong said, "It's a necromancer's favorite. After eating up a person's brain, it will have the memories and knowledge of the person whose brain it ate. It will even think that it is the host and control the host's body. It won't even realize that it's a worm. But it's actually controlled by the necromancer. The Rex we've seen recently is actually just a worm. "

The mayor's wife gasped. "How is that possible?!"

"A puppet brain worm is a product of the Abyss. It's not easy to raise one in the modern world." Liang Lidong smiled. "And essentially, it can only eat the brains of non-professionals. The brains of professionals contain too much energy, and the larvae of the Cerebrate will die after taking a bite, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by these things, madam."

After secretly sighing in relief, the mayor's wife developed a great sense of disgust at the flesh and blood on the ground. She said, "Come to my room. It's not good to talk here. Then you have to tell me everything you know. After all, this is the Longman family. An important noble died here. I can't just ignore it. "

Liang Lidong shrugged: "As you wish."
