Chapter 2311
Immediately, Sole Wolf and the others hardened their faces.
Crippled Williams has been plotting against us since the beginning.
Gritting his teeth, Sole Wolf shouted in the direction of the tunnel entrance, “How dare you scheme
against us, Crippled Williams! We''ve underestimated you.”
“I''m sorry, but you''re mistaken. I did not scheme against you guys. I do intend to bring you to Ghoul
Cliff. However, I''m only going to drag your corpses all the way there!” Crippled Williams replied.
Sole Wolf snorted. “If you know what''s good for you, you''ll let us go now. Otherwise, I swear we''ll rip
you apart when we get out of here!”
“Tsk, tsk! You can''t me me for what happened to you. I told you not toe, but you wouldn''t listen
to me. You only have your own obstinacy to me. Maybe now you''ve finally learned your lesson.”
Sole Wolf sneered in response because he knew he and the others could break the boulder effortlessly
with their energy.
Yet, just when they were about to do so, they heard a rustling sound behind them.
Upon turning around vigntly, Sole Wolf and the others noticed the appearance of countless little
holes in the wall of the cave, from where thousands of bee-like creatures emerged.
Like a dark cloud, the creatures hovered and buzzed above the group''s heads, causing the men to
shudder as if they had trypophobia.
Before Sole Wolf and the others could react, the creatures swooped down in an attempt to attack them.
Hence, they formed an energy barrier almost subconsciously to protect themselves from the assault.
As a result, the bee-like creatures were repelled, failing to harm Sole Wolf and the others.
Right when Sole Wolf was about to release a surge of energy to kill the creatures, Zeke''s voice
suddenly sounded in their minds. “Sole Wolf, don''t kill them!”
“Zeke, Crippled Williams yed us false. He''s trying to have these bees sting us to death!”
“No, those aren''t bees; they''re just cursed parasitic worms that look like bees.”
“Cursed parasitic worms? Sh*t, why are there so many of them here? Nobody can convince me that
Crippled Williams has nothing to do with Cesar. Not a chance! If you ask me, I think these cursed
parasitic worms were bred by Cesar.”
“Sole Wolf, I need you guys to pretend as if you''ve been poisoned by the worms. y along so that I
can find out what Crippled Williams is up to.”
“Okay, Zeke. We''ll do it your way,” responded Sole Wolf after taking a deep breath.
“Good. From now on, do as I say.”
Zeke issued the samemand to Ares, Nameless, Alfred, and Tyler.
“Great Marshal, we have no idea what it''s like to be attacked by cursed parasitic worms since we''ve
never experienced it before. How do we fake it?” inquired Tyler.
Zeke did not know how to answer that question.
To be honest, he, too, was none the wiser about the type of cursed parasitic worms they were facing.
Thus, he would not know the signs and symptoms one would disy from being poisoned by those
worms.

However, most victims of the worms looked like robots, moving stiffly and reacting slowly.
“Just pretend that you''re robots,” was all Zeke could offer as a piece of advice.
“Got it!”
Sole Wolf and the others then acted like machines and stoodpletely still.
Because the group was shielded by the energy barrier, the cursed parasitic worms could not harm the
men in any way.
After about ten minutes, the boulder blocking the entrance of the tunnel slowly sank into the ground.
The second the rock moved, the worms returned to the holes in the wall and disappeared without a
trace.
Crippled Williams walked in and smirked deviously as he eyed Sole Wolf and the others, who were
frozen like statues.
“What a bunch of idiots! They thought they could take me on just because they outnumbered me. What
a joke! Look how I''ve beaten them anyway in the end.”
Suddenly, a man''s hoarse voice came from seemingly nowhere. “Another batch so soon, Crippled
Williams? What do you have for me this time?”
