Chapter 33: Scorpions and Devil Fruits

About twenty minutes later, Lily's boat successfully landed on the small island, which is a very small island, and three-quarters of it is covered by mountains, and there is only a small village, but anyway, Lily and the others are only replenishing a few buckets of fresh water, and the size of the village does not matter.

But when everyone came to the island, they felt wrong, it was too quiet, the whole village was too quiet, there was no breath of life at all, it was noon, but there was no smoke in the village in front of them, there was no one on the road, and everyone could not hear anything except the sound of the wind blowing.

"All on alert, you, and you, go back to the boat and inform the eldest sister, the others are not allowed to disperse, pay attention to the surroundings." The battle leader instructed the two to return to the ship to inform Lily, while the remaining ten men were on guard.

Leading the people behind him, the battle team leader slowly approached the largest house, the battle team leader knocked lightly on the door, no one responded, knocked again, and then quickly put his ear on the door, there was no movement in the door, and the other little brothers looked in through the window and didn't see anything.

"3,2,1!" The battle team leader kicked open the door, and the room was covered with dust, and there was no one in the room.

"Work in pairs, search and see if there are any clues." The battle team leader said as he lit the oil lamp hanging on the side of the door.

After a while, the four groups came back and found nothing.

"Team Leader! Come on! Bones found! The fifth group shouted.

The leader of the battle team rushed up with an arrow, and in a small room on the second floor that looked like a storage room, two white bones were scattered on the ground.

"Quick, let's see if the eldest sister is here, hurry up and call the eldest sister." The battle leader commanded.

After a while, the two younger brothers took Lily upstairs.

When Lily saw the two corpses, she immediately felt wrong, too clean, the two corpses were too clean, this was not like a rotting corpse, more like a skeleton model in the hospital, but it was not right, this texture was real bones, not a model, and according to the color, hardness, etc., these bones were exposed to the air for less than a week.

Lily gently stroked the bones with her hand, and touched Lily and found that it was wrong, these bones had some small lines on them, which were not normal bone lines, just like someone gently slashed them with a knife, and then cut tens of thousands, millions of knives.

"Insects?" Lily suddenly remembered the story that Wanshou told him, a man who threw a dead person into the nest of carnivorous insects to destroy the corpses, but did not expect that these insects only ate meat and not bones, and finally found the bones and caught the perpetrator.

The bones described by Wan Shou were very similar to those in his own hands, and Lily raised her head and asked:

"Do any of you know of any special insects on this island?"

"Insects? I really don't know, this island is a subordinate island of Ubo Island, there is no name, and even there are very few ships docked, after all, there is a better Ubo Island, and no one has to go here. The navigator who disembarked with him thought for a moment, but did not come up with anything.

Lily frowned, looked out the window at the other houses, and gave an order.

"Everyone, search all the houses in pairs, and report to me if you find bones like this, and everyone beware, there should be carnivorous insects on this island, and there are a lot of them."

"Yes."

Hearing Lily's order, the crew dispersed to search, and soon someone reported that the bones had been found, some under the bed, some in the cellar, some in the warehouse, and some on the street.

Lily examined the bones one by one to make sure that they had been eaten by insects, an answer that caused the crew to shiver together, just thinking about their own bodies crawling with insects, and then these insects tore off their flesh like knives through their mouthparts.

"You will return to the ship as soon as possible, sail directly out of port, and wait for me on the shoreline." After Lily finished speaking, without waiting for the crew to reply, she walked directly to the hill behind the village, and Lily had a hunch that she could find something amazing this time.

The others wanted to persuade Lily, but after thinking about Lily's strength, the crickets and insects were not a problem, so they didn't say anything more, and after finding the well in the village and filling it with fresh water, they immediately sailed away.

The camera returns to Lily's side, Lily walks along the obvious traces of being trampled on the ground, her domineering eyes have been fully opened, the surrounding trees and weeds are guiding her path, as Lily goes deeper, a faint sweet smell appears, Lily, as a doctor, immediately reacts, the air here contains toxins, but this toxin has no effect on Lily of the ghost clan.

Lily quickened her pace, and a few dodged to a dirt bag, and saw and heard the domineering aura released into the ground, and in Lily's senses, dense scorpions crawled underground, and the number made the dense phobia collapse 100%.

Just when Lily thought she had found the culprit for the destruction of the village, a different aura appeared in Lily's senses, it seemed to be a scorpion, but this scorpion was too big, at least more than two meters, which was definitely not normal.

Lily chased the scorpion all the way forward, and finally came to a big pit, Lily standing on the top of the pit, looked at the large and small round holes on the pit wall around her, and after a while, one by one the scorpions crawled out of the round hole and gathered into the big pit, but these were not what Lily was looking for, and after waiting for a while, a round hole shook violently.

"Bump", a huge scorpion came out of it, and the other scorpions made way for the big scorpion, and when the giant scorpion landed, it turned into a little girl in a white dress with pink carving, looking like that, she was 7-8 years old, with pink half-long hair hanging down on her shoulders, and big purple eyes watery.

[Fruit Ability!] Lily thought immediately, but Lily didn't say anything, although the little girl in front of her gave her good senses, but not the feeling in her heart didn't point to this girl, at least not completely.

Lily watched the little girl walk to the round platform in the middle of the pit, just when Lily thought the little girl was going to say something, but saw her holding an amethyst-like scorpion with her hand, the scorpion shook in the little girl's hand, and at the same time made a series of clicking sounds with the pliers, with the movement of the crystal scorpion, the other poisonous scorpions began to be restless, and for a while the whole pit was full of clicking sounds made by the pincers, and it took a while to quiet down.

Then, the amethyst scorpion swung its tail again, and the scorpion below made way for a passage, and the little girl walked down with the crystal scorpion in her hand, and then a group of poisonous scorpions swarmed up and cut the clay round platform, and when the scorpions dispersed again, a strange fruit appeared.

[Devil Fruit!] Lily's nerves tensed instantly, it was a lilac devil fruit, crystal clear, very beautiful, with a branch hanging on it, like a poisonous hook on the tail of a poisonous scorpion.

At this time, the scorpions once again moved out of the way, and the crystal scorpion in the little girl's hand danced again, as if to tell the little girl something.

As if to understand what the crystal scorpion meant, the little girl stepped forward slowly, gently picked up the purple fruit, and looked left and right.

Then, to Lily's surprise, the little girl opened her mouth to bite into it.

When it was too late, Lily appeared directly in the middle of the pit with an arrow step, stood in front of the little girl, and snatched the Devil Fruit with her hand.

"I didn't expect that there are fools in this world who want to eat two devil fruits, and if they are too greedy, they will die!"

The scorpion swarm has rioted!
