After walking for about forty or fifty meters, Dean cut off seven or eight worms. These worms were gray in color, and only one of them was completely black. This black worm would spit out a corrosive liquid that could corrode rocks from afar.
Soon, a fork appeared in front of Dean. Dean chose to go straight. The straight road was the path to the deepest part of the cave. The other road was opened up by the Wild Worm over a long period of time. Most of the villagers would go to the other road. For the villagers, as long as they could catch the Wild Worm, it was enough. Only a few arrogant people would take the straight road. They wanted to go to the deepest part of the Earth Dragon Cave to take a look and prove their courage.
After walking for more than twenty meters, Amelia suddenly groaned in pain. She squatted down and covered her stomach.
Dean calculated the time in his mind. Five or six minutes had passed. It should be time to see the effect.
Generally, eating the worm would take effect in about five to ten minutes.
Amelia curled up in pain. Her body trembled slightly. After less than ten seconds, she calmed down and quickly stood up from the wet ground. She was surprised to see her hands.
Dean noticed that the heat in her body had increased a lot. At first, her body was no different from an ordinary person. But in a short time, it had reached the level of a primary hunter. This surprised him. Was this little goddess really just an ordinary person at the beginning? Was she not deliberately hiding the heat? If this was the case, then the benefits brought by the worm were too strong!
However, he remembered what Priley and the other villagers had said. Eating a wild worm for the first time was a very painful experience. The pain would last for half an hour before disappearing. Only then would one's strength increase. Only by consuming it multiple times would the effect shorten. In the later stages of eating wild worms, the pain would only last for a few minutes, but Amelie only lasted about ten seconds. The difference was too big!
"Haven't you eaten this thing before?" Dean narrowed his eyes. He suspected that Amelia was pretending. But thinking of the vomiting reaction when she ate the worm, he felt that it was not the case. Unless the girl's acting was Oscar level.
Amelia shook her head as she heard Dean's words. She was about to answer when she realized the reason behind Dean's question. She frowned and bowed her head in silence.
Dean raised his eyebrows: "You'd better answer my questions. Otherwise I don't mind letting your body have more intimate contact with these insects."
Amelie's expression changed. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're so evil. Be careful that you don't fall into hell!"
"That's after death. You don't have to worry about it." Dean narrowed his eyes: "Most people won't be able to take effect so quickly unless you have taken it many times. Or you are a goddess. Although I don't know why your village selected you but there should be some differences between you and ordinary villagers. You better be honest or I will strip your clothes and bring the bugs to you. Let the bugs taste the blood of the goddess."
"You!" Amelia's body trembled as she heard Dean's shameless words. Her face turned white and red: "Yes, I'm different from everyone else. So I can digest the worms faster. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"What's the difference?" Dean asked.
She wanted to keep the secret but now it seemed that it was impossible. She raised her head and looked at Dean: "I'm the child of the Aragami. I have the blood of the Aragami in my body so I can easily digest these worms. Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you that these worms are very interested in my blood. Bringing me here is your biggest mistake because the worms will smell my scent. The deeper you go, the more worms you will encounter. You might even encounter a tide of worms!" Dean nodded. Amelie was angry and wanted to stomp her feet. She wanted to keep the secret but now it seemed that it was impossible. But she wasn't afraid that Dean would abandon her. After all, they were not far from the entrance of the cave.
Dean was startled. Child of Aragami? Was she a descendant of the War God's family?
He couldn't help but look at Amelia. The War God's family was more than ten meters tall. Their lower body was distorted but Amelia's height and appearance was no different from a normal person.
"If you are the child of Aragami then what is the great priest?" Dean stared at her.
Amelia snorted: "Of course I'm also the child of Aragami."
Dean narrowed his eyes: "Since you are the children of Aragami and your digestive ability is so strong, why haven't you eaten a worm before? If you want, you should be able to become the strongest person here! "
Amelia's face changed. Dean's question was too sharp. Although Dean's question might be unintentional but if she answered honestly then it would expose a lot of things including the weakness of the great priest. Her eyes flashed: "I'm the goddess. Even if I'm not the strongest in the village everyone has to respect me. Why should I eat these disgusting worms?"
"Really?" Dean stared at her eyes.
The goddess was also looking at Dean. Time seemed to stop at this moment but Dean didn't blink. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce into the depths of her soul. Amelia's heart pounded as she looked at him for a long time. She slowly turned her head: "It's up to you whether you believe me or not!"
Dean deeply looked at her: "I have a guess but I don't know if it's true or not. You said that it was your first time eating a worm and I believe it. But the reason why you didn't eat it before is not because it's disgusting but because you didn't want to increase your strength! Because the stronger your physique is, the stronger the smell will be and the greater the attraction to the worms! At that time, the worms won't stay here. That's why you didn't increase your strength! From this point I can guess that the great priest is different from you. She isn't the child of Aragami. Otherwise why is she the goddess and the great priest? "
Amelia's heart turned cold as she listened to Dean's words.
Everything was correct.
She didn't expect that Dean's speculation would be completely correct!
Dean was basically sure as he saw her reaction. His ability to read people's expressions had been tempered to perfection in the giant wall. Amelia's acting skills weren't Oscar level. After all she was just a teenage girl. Although her mind was much smarter than the average person but she didn't have much experience in this small village.
"The child of Aragami … Your ancestor should be a combination of human and Aragami?" Dean speculated again.
Amelia's body trembled because Dean was right. She looked up at Dean and saw his dark eyes. She felt as if she was completely seen through. She asked: "How do you know?" This secret wasn't a big deal as she was powerless to argue.
"Your mind doesn't look like a person who has lived for decades. From this point of inference, your age and appearance are consistent. The Aragami has been dead for hundreds of years. Your father gave birth to you which means that your father was a human. But you are still the child of the Aragami. It can only mean that you have half of the Aragami's bloodline in your body. From this it can be inferred that your ancestors were a combination of the Aragami and humans." Dudian said.
Amelia was startled. She felt that it wasn't difficult to speculate her identity after hearing Dean's words. She felt a little better in her heart but she was still angry that Dean could see through so many of her secrets. She gritted her teeth: "Who said that I haven't lived for decades? How much older are you than me? Humph! "
"You have to call me brother even if you are one year older." Dean no longer paid attention to her angry words. He turned his head and looked around. He felt a faint movement coming from the front of the cave. Something was slowly approaching. Most likely it was a worm.
She was about to move forward when she found that she had overlooked one thing.
