Nicole wanted to look but Davon stopped her by quickly saying, “Don’t look anymore, let’s go.”
Nicole was rushed out of the room by Davon. Davon slammed the door as they went out.
Nicole began to be overwhelmed by fear and her mind was blank. When she saw Davon closing the door, she yelled, “Morgan is still inside!”
“She can handle it! And only she can handle it!” Davon’s back was now covered with sweat. This was the first time in years that he had been so terrified. Had he reacted a moment later or if Nicole did not go with him, he would not have found out that there was something wrong with that maid’s stomach and now he would be a pile of bones.
Nicole was gripped with fear and continued to recall the incident that just happened. The maid’s stomach suddenly burst open and countless red worms emerged from her stomach. The worms had literally freaked her out.
The worms crawled swiftly and would latch themselves onto any living thing. In just a short matter of seconds, the leg of the chair was totally devoured.
It was easy for Nicole to imagine what would happen if the worms managed to get onto a person. She could not help but be worried for Morgan. Could Morgan really cope with it?
There were so many worms, what if one was to infect Morgan? What would she do?
Nicole wanted to return for a look but was stopped forcibly stopped by Davon.
“Have faith in Morgan. If she can’t deal with them, then we will all die here.” Davon did not exaggerate.
Nicole immediately turned pale from fear.
“What are those worms? Why are they so frightening?” Nicole asked as she trembled fearfully.
Davon said softly, “That’s Tomb Bride.”
“What?” Nicole exclaimed.
“Those worms are known as Tomb Bride. I read about it in some ancient manuals. In the past, there were used to prevent the corpse and coffin from being stolen. I didn’t expect to see it here.”
Nicole was stunned when she heard what Davon said.
“So what are they?” Nicole asked again.
“They can be considered as parasites and are reared by man. These Tomb Brides are very hardy, and they love the cold and damp environment. Once they encounter a living thing, they would burrow into the bloodstream and then attack the internal organs until the body is hollow. You saw for yourself how fine the worms are. They are very difficult to spot.”
Davon shared whatever he knew about Tomb Bride with Nicole. Nicole was still shaking in fear from the encounter and remarked, “That’s terrifying.”
“Yes!” Davon agreed. It was a long time since he was so frightened. He had read about the existence of Tomb Bride but never seen it. It was equally a shock to him. Had he known that there could be Tomb Bride in the room, he would never have let Nicole enter it.
What a close shave! He chastised himself for risking his sister’s life. Davon was shaken by the encounter but was thankful that Morgan was here. He was also happy that Samuel was concerned about Nicole. Otherwise, the day would end tragically for them.
As for Nicole, she pondered far beyond Davon, “Davon, did you say that these Tomb Brides are supposed to guard the tomb and corpse?”
