This time around, Zeke and the others understood what it was trying to say. Did it say, “Die?” Does Worm King want us to die with it?
Right then, with a blast of mental energy, Worm King started controlling the Myriad Worm Formation.
All the cursed parasitic worms in the Myriad Worm Formation also released the strongest wave of mental energy.
Are they trying to self-destruct by releasing mental energy? Indeed! That's what they're going to do! Zeke and the others grew anxious. If Worm King does it on its own, it won't be a problem. Even if a bunch of cursed parasitic worms were to do that, it won't be a problem either. However, if they combine, they'll pack quite a punch!
Evidently, they were a lot stronger when they were combined.
Zeke yelled an order, “Deploy the energy barrier!”
Almost subconsciously, Sole Wolf and the others deployed their energy barriers to protect themselves.
When the cursed parasitic worms' mental energy had reached its peak, they self-destructed.
A strong wave of mental energy was sent toward Zeke and the others.
Suddenly, Sole Wolf and the rest were greeted by an intense ray of light, and they lost their consciousness momentarily.
As strong as Zeke was, he felt the threat of the wave of energy as well.
After an intense mental energy explosion, Worm King and the rest of the cursed parasitic worms died and fell to the ground.
The carcasses of countless cursed parasitic worms were seen piling into a hill.
Zeke couldn't be bothered about the carcasses, though. Instead, he quickly unleashed a wave of energy to soothe the blow Sole Wolf and the others had encountered when they were hit by the wave of mental energy.
He was worried that Sole Wolf and the others would suffer serious injuries in terms of their consciousness.
Fortunately, Sole Wolf and the others were stronger than Zeke thought. It didn't take too long for them to regain their consciousness.
Still, they couldn't help but feel a chill running down their spines.
“F*ck! They were strong.”
“My mental energy almost exploded as well!”
“Wouldn't it be funny if we were actually killed by a bunch of worms? Ha!”
They were shocked when they saw the carcasses of the cursed parasitic worms.
“Zeke, what should we do with the dead cursed parasitic worms?” Sole Wolf asked.
“Burn them. Be careful, though. Don't cause damage to the corpses at the bottom of the hill. Some of the dead were from the village nearby. Identify them and bring them back to the village,” Zeke instructed.
“Okay. I'll get people to deal with the corpses,” Sole Wolf answered.
“Let's go and track Cesar down,” Zeke uttered.
“Okay!”
Cesar had made his escape earlier on, but Zeke could track his aura with ease.
Following the trail all the way down the valley, Cesar's aura disappeared near a subterranean river.
Zeke and the others had no idea which direction Cesar had gone.
Everyone was at their wits' end.
In the end, Zeke contacted White Muraco Clan's Progenitor with his telepathy.
Since Cesar and White Muraco Clan's Progenitor were from the same Muraco Clan, it was safe to assume that White Muraco Clan's Progenitor could track him down.
“What do you want? Talk quickly, and don't waste my time,” White Muraco Clan's Progenitor said.
“I've found Black Muraco Clan's elder. However, I've lost him. I need your help to locate him.”
“What? Black Muraco Clan's elder? He went missing a few years back, and everyone thought he had gotten into an accident or something. Is he still alive?”
“Of course. He's well and alive. Recently, he's trying to rebuild Black Muraco Clan so that he can take White Muraco Clan out.”
“What? That's outrageous!” White Muraco Clan's Progenitor was infuriated. “No matter what, he needs to die! I'm going to use my willpower to control your body and find out where Black Muraco Clan's elder had escaped to.”
“Sure!” Zeke unhesitatingly allowed White Muraco Clan's to Progenitor control his body.
He could feel his consciousness slipping away gradually before losing it entirely.
After a while, Zeke woke up, and he asked, “Whitey, did you find out where did he go?”
