Shen An sighed: "As expected, he is the number one Yu Shen in the ranking."

Yu Nian smiled and said, "You will have so many in the future."

Nie Feng suddenly asked, "Yu Shen, you have so much money, why do you still participate in this game?" Yu Nian was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, but Shen An keenly noticed the sadness in her eyes.

"That's someone else's private matter, why are you asking so many questions!" Shen An tried to smooth things over.

Nie Feng curled his lips and said, "Okay~ Yu Shen, Sister An, where are you two going to go tonight?" Shen An turned his head to look at Yu Nian and asked, "Are you staying at my house?"

"Your house doesn't seem to have enough space for two people, why don't you come to my house?" Yu Nian suggested

"I'm going too, I'm going too, take me with you!" Nie Feng also shamelessly joined in.

"Where are we going now?" Shen An asked Yu Nian.

"Statue of the Goddess in the Square."

The three of them walked to the square. As expected, there was the magic circle that Nie Feng had mentioned, but the seal on the goddess statue had been lifted. Why was she still in the square?

They stood in front of the statue of the goddess, and the goddess' expression was as compassionate as when Shen An first saw her.

Shen An asked: "Hasn't the seal been lifted? Why did she come back here?" Yu Nian guessed: "Maybe she needs to meet certain conditions to move around."

"Night!" Shen An replied. "It's just a guess."

Nie Feng suddenly noticed some blood on the right hand of the goddess statue. "Look at her right hand." The bright red blood on the statue's slate-gray skin was particularly eye-catching. "Whose blood is it?" Yu Nian asked.

Shen An reminded: "Didn't we meet her at the mayor's house last night? Did she have a fight with the mayor?"

Nie Feng: "Well done!"

"Let's go and take another look at the cave. There is a bright path that we didn't enter last time." Yu Nian suggested.

"it is good."

Together they came to a fork in the road deep in the cave. This time they chose the brightly lit path. There were paintings engraved on the walls on both sides of their road, telling the origin of the insects.

These bugs used to feed on crystals, but one day, because humans kept mining, a crack appeared in the ground, and a black mist came out of it, infecting all the crystals. Then the bugs that ate the crystals also mutated and became what they are now. However, because the bugs had no crystals to eat, they were always hungry, and some of them fell asleep.

Nie Feng looked at the paintings on the wall and sighed: "This was caused by the townspeople."

As they continued to walk deeper, they saw skeletons on both sides of the road. The clothes on the skeletons were all characteristic of this town, and it could be seen that these skeletons were probably the townspeople. "Uh...uh..." A faint sound came from the front, and Shen An heard it a little unreal. "Hush, don't move, listen!" Nie Feng and Yu Nian stepped down. "Uh...uh..." Shen An reminded them: "There is a sound!"

Shen An took out a fruit knife from his pocket, Yu Nian also took a crossbow, but Nie Feng was the only one who clenched his fists tightly, looking alert as if he was going to be punched by someone any moment.

The view became dim as they walked further forward. Yu Nian took out the lighting props and the vision suddenly brightened. There was a huge pit under their feet, and the bones below were almost filling up the pit.

"Look up!" Nie Feng shouted.

They looked up and saw densely packed white cocoons hanging on the top of the cave, some of which were even moving, as if they were about to break out of their cocoons in the next second.

"Leave!" A woman's voice came from somewhere. "Who?!" Shen An looked around for the source of the voice, "Who are you?!"

"Hurry up and keep your voice down, or you'll alarm the insects!" the voice sounded again.

Shen An followed the source of the sound and saw a skinny woman in the pile of bones. However, her belly was bulging so big that she couldn't walk.

They jumped down the pit, stepped on the bones and walked to the woman. "Did you come to save me after seeing my diary?" the woman asked.

Shen An took out the diary she always carried with her and asked her: "Are you the owner of this diary?"

"Yes! But you are late."

Yu Nian looked at her big belly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's the mayor! He brought me to this place to breed insects!"

Nie Feng asked: "Did you lay all these cocoons?"

The woman suddenly started crying: "Woo woo... yes, after the larvae are born, they will be wrapped in silk spun by the adults and hung on the ceiling of the cave."

"It's been a year, how did you survive?" Shen An asked.

"Under these bones is a crystal mine. These crystals are edible. I eat them when I'm hungry!"

"Didn't they say that the crystal mines had been eaten up?"

"These crystals grow very quickly and will grow again in a few days, but they are buried under the bones and the insects don't know about it."

Shen An looked at her now half-human and half-ghost appearance and asked: "How can we help you?"

The woman closed her eyes for a long time and said, "Kill me. I don't want to keep giving birth to babies for these disgusting bugs."

Shen An was silent.

Yu Nian took the knife from Shen An and said, "Let me do it."

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. "Thank you."

There was a flash of the knife, and Yu Nian stabbed it cleanly and neatly into the woman's heart, and she gradually lost her life.
