Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2251

He had never heard about that, but he couldn't be honest to the villagers, could he?

To preserve his dignity, Don gave a curt nod. “Mm. I've heard that saying from the older generation. Let's try it.”

With that, he fished a lighter out of his pocket and set fire to the bone.

Underneath everyone's watchful gazes, the bone turned black. It was practically burnt now, but it still didn't catch fire.

Andres and the ladies heaved a sigh of relief.

Don pocketed his lighter. “This isn't our ancestors' bone? Then why are you fiddling around our ancestors' graves?”

The villagers might've believed that Andres didn't take their ancestors' bone, but they refused to let the three outsiders leave without giving any explanation.

After all, Andres and the ladies' actions were too suspicious to be ignored.

Andres announced, “We're here to save your lives. Didn't you realize you've been acting strangely lately?”

Don nodded. “We've been feeling unwell recently. How do you know about that?”

“I shall be honest with you. Someone has used the Poisonous Worm Technique on you, and we know about the existence of this technique. It was pure coincidence that we discovered you've been infected by the cursed parasitic worm, so we decided to help you out,” Andres said truthfully.

The villagers immediately erupted into an uproar.

“Cursed parasitic worm? What kind of worm is that?”

“A worm that can enter your body to eat your flesh and suck your blood!”

“What? There are worms inside me? Oh, f*ck. Get them out now!”

“Oh, dear. I'm going to puke...”

Don was flustered, too. A chill went down his spine as he asked, “Is that true? There are worms inside our body?”

“Of course,” Andres responded firmly. “Why would we lie to you?”

“Can you help us get rid of the worms?” Don queried.

Andres sighed. “I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee the results.”

Don nodded vehemently. “Please help us. Help our village.”

Some distance away, Cesar witnessed the entire incident in a dark and secluded corner.

D*mn it! The villagers are foolish enough to trust Andres easily!

There was no way Cesar would allow them to trust Andres.

He shut his eyes and pondered briefly before coming out with an idea.

He pulled out a bell from his pocket and shook it gently.

Following the ringing sound, a few villagers of Durbaine froze momentarily. Their gazes had glazed over as they marched toward Andres stiffly.

They raised their tools up high, and their target was none other than Andres.

Andres yelled anxiously, “What are you doing? Please stop!”

Alas, the men paid no heed to his words and picked up their paces to charge at him.

Don's brows knitted together, for the men had taken action without his order. He was displeased by their behavior.

Coolly, he barked, “What are you doing? Are you trying to overstep my authority? Come back at once. Otherwise, I shall punish you in accordance with our village's rules!”

However, the villagers ignored him and soon arrived before Andres.

They raised their farming tools to hit Andres.

“Everyone, these are witches! They were the ones who brought misfortune to our village! Quick, we need to kill them!” they shouted.

Andres, Yazmin, and Erwen were shocked beyond words. Clearly, they would lose their lives here if they didn't retaliate.

Left with no choice, Andres had to release his cursed parasitic worms.

With lightning speed, the cursed parasitic worms crawled into the villagers through the openings of their bodies.

The controlled villagers screamed in agony and dropped their farming tools. They then collapsed to the ground and rolled around in pain.

The other villagers gaped in disbelief at the sight.

They couldn't believe that Andres could knock down a few muscular men just by using a few worms.
