Shortly after, fear appeared on Erwen's face.
When Yazmin saw that, she suddenly grew anxious as well. It seems like things are more complicated than we
thought.
“Erwen, what's wrong?” she asked cautiously.
Erwen forced a smile and uttered, “Ma'am, you're fine. Don't worry, okay? Eat more vegetables and drink more
water in the meantime. Also, rest more. Soon, your headache will subside.”
The old woman smiled cordially. “Thank you, Miss!”
“You're welcome.” Erwen then dragged Yazmin aside.
Once they'd arrived at a place with no people, Yazmin asked anxiously, “Erwen, what's going on with that old
woman?”
“She'd been poisoned with worms. The Black Muraco Clan's worms, to be exact,” Erwen answered.
Sh*t! Yazmin's expression turned solemn. “Isn't the Black Muraco Clan's Progenitor gone? How are the Black
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMuraco Clan's cursed parasitic worms still around? Who poisoned the old woman? Are there still members of the
Black Muraco Clan here?”
“Yazmin, have you heard of trine worms?”
Trine worms? Yazmin couldn't help but shudder when she heard that. “Erwen, what made you think of that cursed
parasitic worm?”
In fact, trine worms were forbidden by the Muraco Clan. That was why Yazmin had a huge reaction upon hearing
that.
Centuries ago, the entire Muraco Clan established an unwritten rule. Wherever the Muracans were located, the
existence of trine worms would never be allowed, let alone the cultivation of trine worms.
The reason for that was the ruthlessness of trine worms.
Unlike other cursed parasitic worms, trine worms would attack the brains instead of the bodies. Trine worms could
take control over the human brains and turn humans into their puppets.
Throughout history, trine worms had caused countless tragic incidents. One of the most notable incidents happened
centuries ago.
Back then, some Muracans poisoned a city of over a hundred thousand residents with trine worms.
Within a day, all the hundred thousand people turned into puppets of the aforementioned Muracans.
The Muracans used those puppets and attacked another city.
However, the infected ones were no match for the military force. In the end, the hundred thousand people had all
died a gruesome death.
“Yazmin, you might find it unbelievable, but trine worms still exist today. The old woman just now was poisoned with
trine worms,” Erwen uttered.
Instantly, Yazmin's breathing turned rapid.
Actually, Yazmin had seen that coming the moment Erwen mentioned the trine worms. She had a feeling the
woman was indeed poisoned with them.
Hence, Yazmin could feel her heart in turmoil when her fears were confirmed by Erwen. Now that the trine worms
had re-emerged, chaos will soon follow. What should we do?

Right then, Erwen continued, “I bet the old woman isn't the only one infected. The other villagers could be poisoned
as well! Otherwise, the presence of the Black Muraco Clan in this village wouldn't be so strong.”
Yazmin gasped and asked, “If the whole village is poisoned with trine worms, will history repeat itself?”
“Don't panic, Yazmin. Since the trine worms haven't caused much damage yet, there must be a way to salvage the
situation. You should head back immediately and tell the clan leader about this. I'll stay here to prevent the trine
worms from spreading.”
Yazmin was worried about her. “Erwen, are you sure I can leave you here alone?”
“Don't worry. I can take care of myself.”
Yazmin nodded. “Okay. Erwen, I'll be back in no time. Wait for me.”
Meanwhile, Zeke and Sole Wolf had arrived somewhere three thousand miles off of Yellow Sand River, along with
their Dullioud captives before sunrise.
Despite running throughout the night, Zeke showed no sign of exhaustion. In fact, he was still moving extremely
fast when he leaped across the Yellow Sand River, spanning hundreds of meters wide. Finally, they arrived at
Vauxgan Pavilion.
No one knew when Vauxgan Pavilion was built, but it was in terrible shape. It looked like it could tumble at any
moment.
