Chapter 1632


    Mango had still wanted to take a look, but Tristan turned her head around and said quickly, "Don''t


    look! Hurry!"


    At this moment, Mango was practically dragged out of the room by Tristan. Just as the two of them


    were outside, Tristan closed the door immediately.


    Mango was still a little frightened and in a daze, but when she saw Tristan close the door, she


    couldn''t help but say, "Bettany is still inside!"


    "She can handle it! She is the only one that can settle such a matter!"


    Tristan''s back was wet.


    It was the first time in so many years that he was so afraid!


    If he had been a secondte, if Mango had not followed him, and if she had not noticed that there


    was something wrong with the servant''s tummy, he would have be a pile of bones right now.


    Mango was also feeling a lingering fear as she kept recalling what she had just seen.


    The servant''s stomach suddenly exploded, and many small red bugs had crawled out from her


    belly.


    There were so many bugs that it was a sea of red with no ends.


    They crawled in shocking speed and attached themselves to whatever objects they came across,


    no matter living or dead. Within a few seconds, the legs of a stool had beenpletely corroded.


    Mango could easily imagine what the consequences would be if they were attached to a person''s


    body.


    Thinking of this, she could not help worrying about Bettany.


    Could Bettany really handle it?


    There were so many bugs, what if one of them got Bettany?


    Mango wanted to go over to take a look, but Tristan held onto her tightly.


    "You must believe in Bettany. If Bettany can''t handle it, everyone here may die."


    Tristan was definitely not exaggerating.


    Mango''s face suddenly turned pale.


    "What on earth are those? Why are they that terrifying?"


    Mango had rarely seen such a scene, so her legs couldn''t help but go weak.


    Tristan whispered, "Tomb Crawlers."


    "What?"


    "Those worms are called Tomb Crawlers. I read about them in the Hikasa Manual before. They


    were used to protect bodies and coffins from tomb thieves. I didn''t expect them to be here."


    Hearing Tristan''s words, Mango waspletely stunned.


    "So what exactly are they?"


    "They are a sort of poisonous worm that was made by humans. They breed fast, and they like living


    in a cold environment. Once they encounter a living thing, they will immediately bite through their


    skin and permeate into their blood vessels. Gradually, they will upy the human''s internal organs


    until they arepletely hollowed out. Like what you saw, they are long and thin. If there is only


    one of them, it can''t be seen clearly if we don''t look carefully."


    Tristan told her everything he knew.


    Mango was shocked after she heard this.


    "They can really do that?"


    "That''s right!"


    Tristan was rarely afraid of anything.


    He had only heard about Tomb Crawlers and had never seen them before, so he did not recognize


    them at first sight.


    If he had known earlier, he definitely would not have brought Mango into the room.


    Almost!


    He was so close to killing his own cousin!


    Tristan felt a lingering fear in his heart, but at the same time, he was d that Bettany was here and


    that Nathaniel cared about Mango. Otherwise, everyone here would not have survived today.


    Compared to Tristan''s lingering fear, Mango thought even more about it.


    "Tristan, do you mean that the Tomb Crawlers guard the coffins and the corpses inside?"


    "Yes!"


    Tristan nodded.


    Mango thought of the servant''s swollen corpse and couldn''t help but say, "Then could it be that the


    servant had died a long time ago, but her body was upied by the Tomb Crawlers. Therefore,


    what I saw was actually a controlled corpse and the person behind this is after Desmond instead!


    They wanted Desmond to die unnaturally!"


    When Tristan heard this, he paused before nodding seriously.


    "Desmond''s blood is special. If the Tomb Crawlers really entered his body, he would have been


    eaten alive. But because of his special blood, those bugs would not be spared too. So the person


    behind this had just wanted to kill Desmond alone?"


    Tristan''s words made Mango frown.


    "If they were only after Desmond, why would they release such insidious bugs? Could they be that


    soft- hearted? Also, isn''t Ezequiel dead? Is there anyone else in the world who knows how to make


    poisonous worms?"


    This was what Mango was most worried about.


    To this, Tristan frowned too.


    "We will need to investigate itter."


    Just then, the room door opened, startling Mango and Tristan.


    When they saw Bettany appear intact, they involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Bettany, are you all right?"


    Mango took a step forward and noticed that Bettany''s face was a little pale.


    Bettany shook her head and said, "I''m fine. It''s just that there are too many Tomb Crawlers. It''s a


    little troublesome to clean it all up. How did they appear here?"


    "We want to know too."


    Tristan was a little depressed.


    He almost caused a disaster.


    Bettany whispered, "Those worms don''t like sunshine, so the body inside has been dead for at least


    five days."


    Hearing Bettany''s words, Mango and Tristan were not surprised.


    "But if she had been dead for more than five days, how could she still look that alive?"


    Mango was a little confused.


    Bettany looked at Mango and exined, "This is what the Tomb Crawlers are great at. They can


    make a dead person appear alive. Only when they have bred enough and kill themselves by


    exploding will the person show their actual state."


    Hearing her exnation, Mango was very surprised.


    She still didn''t know much about the worms, but she didn''t expect such a thing would happen.


    "Bettany, do you know where theye from?"


    "Longford County has its own method of raising


    them, and they have been documented in the Hikasa Manual too."


    Hearing Bettany''s words, Mango paused.


    When Zion had obtained the Hikasa Manual back


    then, no one had thought of the use of it, but where did the book go now?


    Mango recalled that she seemed to have given it to Henry.


    Could it be Henry?


    No!


    No way!


    Mango denied it quickly in her heart.


    Bettany looked at Mango and whispered, "Madam, me, the master, and Henry have read the book,


    and there''s someone else who has read it too."


    "Who is it?"


    Mango''s eyes narrowed at this.


    Bettany was a little hesitant, but she still said, "Haniya Bell, I once identally saw Haniya read the


    book."


    Mango immediately felt her limbs go cold.


    Haniya?


    Could it be her?


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    She wanted Desmond dead?


    But why?


    Thinking that Desmond going berserk was also Haniya''s doing, Mango''s mood went downhill.


    It was very bad!


    "It can''t be her!"


    Although Mango said so, she knew that she couldn''t even convince herself.
