Dean frowned. The best way to escape was to rush out with Aisha and leave Amelie behind to attract the huge worms. But if the worms ate Amelie and returned to the nest, then he would have to face the worms again. If he couldn't deal with the worms then he wouldn't be able to get the remains of the Aragami.
The thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly grabbed one of Amelie's arms and used the clean edge of the saber's hilt to slice off a piece of flesh. He threw it at the huge worm swarm behind him.
Amelia was still in a daze and was caught off guard. The pain from her arm made her scream, and tears almost fell from her eyes. She said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
Dean didn't answer. He took out a match from his waist and quickly lit it. He tore off Amelia's sleeves and exposed her snow-white arms. He lit the sleeves. Amelia's clothes were very thin. It was woven with animal wool. It was very warm and easy to ignite. The sleeves were ignited before the match was finished.
Dean quickly tore off Amelie's other sleeve. He took out a small bottle from his backpack and threw it to her: "Apply it on the wound to stop the bleeding. Quick!"
Amelie took the bottle. She was annoyed and amused at the same time. But she had probably guessed the purpose of Dean's action. She opened the bottle and poured out dark red powder. She smeared it on the wound and frowned in pain.
Dean ignited the other sleeve, and then threw the half burnt sleeve to the front of the swarm of wild insects. The flame was erratic in the passage, reflecting the shadows on the wall like swaying ghosts, and then fell in the middle of the wild insects. The flame was still burning, but the wild insects quickly dispersed, not daring to get close to the flame.
Dean was relieved. Although there were no records in the books, but since ancient times, fire was the nemesis of all life. Humans relied on fire to survive. Using fire to disperse beasts was the knowledge of ancient ancestors. Although the worms were special and had strong survival ability, they were obviously afraid of fire. After all, even microbes with strong survival ability would be destroyed by high temperature. If they weren't destroyed then it could only mean that the temperature wasn't high enough!
Amili used the light from the fire to see the swarm of wild worms in the tunnel ahead. They were densely packed like snakes. Her scalp went numb and her face turned green. She even forgot the pain in her arm.
Dean noticed that the huge worm swarm stopped and started to gnaw on the piece of flesh that he had thrown out. The worms swarmed forward and plunged into the center of the fight. They were like a group of black tentacles. He opened his backpack and took out two black stones. He rolled his burning sleeves towards the black stones.
Amelie didn't understand Dean's behavior: "What are you doing?"
"Take off your clothes." Dudian ordered.
Amelie was stunned. Her eyes widened as she said, "What, what did you say?!"
Dean looked at her coldly: "If you don't want to be eaten by these things then take off your clothes. I need burning materials."
Amelie's face turned red: "Why don't you take off your clothes? You, you …"
"You really won't take it off?" Dean was too lazy to explain the reason to her. He had a set of Splitter armor so it couldn't be burned. Only his underwear and underwear were flammable. But he naturally wouldn't take off his clothes until the last moment.
Amelie had seen Dean's strength and domineering. She shivered in anger. She had never exposed her arms and thighs in front of a man before. She gritted her teeth: "If you want to kill me then kill me. I'd rather die than be insulted by you!"
"Quite chastity." Dean glanced at her: "I'll run out of fuel. If you don't take off your clothes then I'll leave you here and let you be their dinner."
Amili raised her head to look at the passageway in front of her. Her sleeve was burning to the end and was about to be extinguished. From the light of the fire, she could see large numbers of wild worms circling around the flames and charging over. Her expression was ugly. She clenched her fists and did not make a sound.
Dean didn't say anything more. He blew on the two black stones. The stones soon burned into a fiery red color. These were two pieces of coal. He carried them with him as fuel. They were also essential items in the wilderness. In most cases, the role of these two stones was more useful than first aid medicine. After all, first aid medicine couldn't cure all kinds of injuries, but fire was indispensable to human beings.
Dudian put the stone behind him after it was heated. Then he rushed to the front of the swarm of worms with his sword and quickly chopped them down.
Whoosh!
He activated his demon body and the saber turned into a sticky liquid that covered his entire body. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a monster with sharp blades all over his body. He stood in the tunnel like an evil god. Countless wild insects swarmed over. He waved the blades all over his body. In an instant, he was like the propeller of a helicopter. The greyish-white insects that swarmed three meters in front of him were quickly crushed into countless pieces.
Amelie saw Dean's appearance through the flame. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, but the terrifying figure almost made her faint. Her heart was beating wildly. She didn't expect that the person she was accompanying was not a human but a monster. No wonder he was so indifferent!
Boom!
At this time, the giant worms in the passage rushed again. The piece of flesh that Amelie had thrown out had already been snatched. At this moment, they were like a torrent. But when they were about to reach the two coal stones, their speed rapidly decreased. They stopped three meters away from the coal stones. They didn't dare to get close.
Seeing this scene, Amelie's little heart slightly relaxed. She suddenly thought of an ancient legend. She didn't expect it to be true. These worms were extremely afraid of fire. To be precise, they were extremely afraid of high temperature. That's why the cave was so deep and cold.
The giant worms stopped in front of the two coal stones. They didn't dare to get close. Some of the worms had round holes in front of them. Sharp blades came out of their mouths. They were like two praying mantis arms. They wriggled forward, but when they were about two meters away, they seemed to be burned and quickly shrank back.
In fact, the temperature brought by the two coal stones was not high. But miraculously, they blocked the giant worms that were comparable to pioneers.
Dean was killing the worms in front of him while paying attention to the movements behind him. Seeing this scene, he was surprised. He thought that it would be good if he could slightly cushion the attacks of the giant worms. He didn't expect that they would all stop. How afraid of fire were they?
He thought of Black Prison. It would explode at the slightest touch and was also extremely afraid of fire. However, Black Prison was afraid of fire because its body was made of fat and oil. Moreover, Black Prison was an artificial product created by the Monster Research Institute. Could it be that the materials used to create Black Prison included this Desolate Worm?
