【001】Treasure

The town of Moreya encountered a fire, which lasted for two days before being extinguished by heavy rain.

The insects who were originally entrenched in the town of Moreya were scorched by the fire and lay on the ground in a row, emitting an unpleasant odor.

This smell is like the smell of the mosquitoes being beaten by an electric mosquito, and the smell of the mosquitoes being burned by electric scorching.

Four surviving teenage girls quietly returned to the town after the fire was extinguished. The boy at the front was named Xiao. He was taken to the town by a blond man, but was abandoned on the side of the road outside the city.

At first, the fat chef who runs a restaurant in the town adopted him, but when he was three, the chef passed away due to a strange disease, so he grew up eating a hundred-storey meal after he was three years old.

His greatest ideal is to become a sheriff and repay the kind-hearted people in the town.

But this has become a thing of the past.

Because the town of Moreya was destroyed when attacked by insects, the fire the day before yesterday made this unknown town completely ruin.

"Brother Xiao, look over there!"

At this time, the girl following the owl said in a low voice.

Xiao immediately looked along the girl's fingers and saw a corpse of an insect man slightly cracked, and a baby-like arm drilled out inside.

No one knows where the insect man came from.

Their bodies are similar to humans, their heads are similar to those of bees, and there is a layer of mane that looks soft and strong but has a very high defense under their necks. Their bodies are protected by a very thin but very strong hard shell.

A week ago, the insects attacked the town of Moreya. Several brave and warlike sheriffs in the town fought bravely with the insects, but they didn't even last for a round. They were all cut off by the insects and threw them on the ground like garbage.

"Everyone come together!"

The owl knew very well how strong the insect man was, so he immediately shouted softly and rushed towards the cracked corpse with a dagger in his hand.

The dagger easily pierced the corpse and stabbed into the insect man's body. A stream of green liquid suddenly flowed out. He immediately pulled out the dagger and stabbed it at the insect man again, but the insect man instinctively grabbed the dagger with his hands.

Because the new shell has not yet become hard, the dagger cuts into the insect's finger bit by bit, but the resistance is increasing.

Obviously, over time, the shells of insects will become harder and harder.

At this time, several other teenagers approached, some picked up stones and smashed them on the worm man, and some kept hitting them with sticks. In the end, Xiao Ming, who was on the back, cracked the shell on the worm man's arm with an iron hammer, and a large amount of liquid was sprayed out, so the worm man could not catch the owl's dagger.

The owl pulled out a dagger from the insect man's hand and then stabbed the insect man's body dozens of times. The insect man's hand then hung down weakly.

Several teenagers were panting, one by one, and they were all in amazement. After a while, Xiao reached out to open the burning shell. There was a monster with a human head but a body like a bug.

"vomit!"

When Xiao Ming saw this scene, he immediately turned around and vomited.

In fact, there are not many insects in the town. Most of the insects left with their bodies after killing the people in the town, leaving only a small number of insects lurking in the town, specifically attacking the vendors who passed by.

The hiding place of Xiao and the others was not far from the town, and they had been quietly observing the situation of the town, so they only came back after the fire to find out the situation.

"There are other insects, hurry up!" Xiao felt uncomfortable, but he reacted quickly and immediately realized that the insect was not burned to death, and the other insects were likely to be alive as well.

Several people immediately trotted and found the insect, so they pounced on them and poked them.

However, most insects are actually dead, and only a few insects have the ability to molt and rebirth, but they are stabbed to death one by one before they recover.

"Haha, we killed all the insects."

After finishing his work, several teenage girls sat on the edge of the ruins, and a teenager who was not worthy of his name couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Ming also held the hammer tightly in his hand and said firmly: "All the insects have been killed. Let's rebuild Moreya together. As long as we are still alive, Moreya will not disappear!"

"I refuse!" Xiao looked down at the blood on the ground and suddenly spoke.

Xiao Ming said inexplicably: "Why?"

"Even if Moreya is rebuilt, what about the next time I meet the insect man? Aunt Taylor, Aunt Scarlett, Grandma Angelina... They were killed and kidnapped by the insect man, and then let it go?" Xiao looked up at Xiao Ming and asked seriously.

Xiao Ming was silent, gradually holding the hammer tightly, unwilling to say: "Even Uncle Brad, Robert, and Uncle Depp are not opponents of the insects, what can we do?"

The three people he mentioned were all first-class experts in the town. When he was young, he even hunted three-eyed tiger beasts in the mountains alone.

But when the three of them faced the insect man, they didn't even have the power to resist. They were all easily cut off their necks and died, as simple as people cutting off a chicken's neck.

Xiao also knew that he could not beat the insect man. Even the insect man who had just been seriously injured would be dead and alive, not to mention those who were completely healthy.

But he was unwilling to give up. Could it be that he just let it go?

He had no relatives. Uncle Brad in the town taught him how to hunt, Uncle Robert little taught him how to make a good dagger, Aunt Taylor taught him to identify words, and Aunt Scarlett taught him to cook.

In his heart, these people are his relatives.

In an instant, he made a decision in his heart and said, "In this way, let's separate. I will find a way to avenge Aunt Taylor and the others. You can either rebuild the town or go to your loved ones."

"You are looking for death!" Xiao Ming immediately shouted loudly.

Xiao stood up and looked at Xiao Ming and said seriously: "Since the fire can burn the insects to death, at least I know that the fire can deal with them, right?"

In fact, the origin of the fire in the town is unknown and it ignited the entire town almost instantly, so the worms could not escape, but Xiao and the others did not know how the fire came about.

"Brother Xiao, are you really going to leave?" the girl stood up and asked.

Xiao's eyes suddenly became softer, and he looked at the girl and replied: "So, we must find a way to deal with the insects, otherwise even if we rebuilt the town of Moreya a hundred times, it may be destroyed a hundred times. Someone must do this."

"Then can I go together?" So asked reluctantly.

Xiao shook his head and refused seriously, "No, this matter is too dangerous. Xiao Ming, tomorrow you will take Sa to Kaote Town, where is Sa's uncle."

"No, I won't go." So grabbed Xiao's hand and kept putting it down.

Xiao said seriously: "Don't be willful. If the insect man finds out, do you know how bad the outcome will be? You will be eaten by the insect man!"

"But I don't want to leave you." So said aggrievedly.

She was the daughter of the fat chef who adopted the owl. After the fat chef passed away, she depended on her mother for survival, but when she was nine years old, her mother suddenly suffered from a strange disease.

At that time, she was so ignorant that she had no idea what to do. Xiao came over to help all day long with a smile. In the end, Xiao was taking care of her, comforting her, and helping her deal with all kinds of things she didn't understand.

Later, she became a follower of the owl and never separated.

However, this time Xiao was obviously determined to drive her away. She could feel it. Xiao was very serious this time, which was different from the angry words he said in the past when he was angry and quarreled.

But she didn't want to leave Xiao. Only by following Xiao could she feel safe.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Brother Xiao, do you still remember the last time Uncle Thomas came here?"

"Although Thomas is a bastard, at least he is safe." Xiao thought what So wanted to talk about Thomas' character.

In fact, after So's uncle Thomas came to visit him after knowing that So's father passed away, he was a very bastard, and his mind was full of money. If it weren't for the people in the town to stop him from doing anything wrong, So's restaurant would have been sold.

"No, actually, on the night when Uncle Thomas stayed overnight, I didn't fall asleep one night. When I heard footsteps in the corridor, I secretly eavesdropped. Uncle Thomas said that there was a big secret in our house." So said seriously.

Xiao Ming's young man immediately widened his eyes and guessed: "Is there a big treasure hidden in So's house?"

"What's the big secret?" Xiao looked at Xiao Ming, then asked as he looked at So.

So shook his head and said, "I don't know. I was also very curious at that time, but after a few days, Uncle Thomas seemed to be getting more and more angry. He had a fight with Aunt Marilyn and left."

"Xiao, even if you want to leave, you won't be in a hurry. Why not go to the So family first? If there is really a big treasure and you have the funds to buy better equipment, do you want to deal with the insects with bare hands?" said the boy who was not worthy of having his name.

Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

He only had a dagger on his body as a weapon, and it had no use when he encountered an insect man. If he had enough money, he might not be able to create a weapon specifically for the insect man.

So the four of them walked towards the So home.

The home of So is actually right behind the restaurant, the restaurant, the residence and the kitchen form a courtyard, and there is also a water well in the middle of the courtyard.

However, at this time, So's home was completely destroyed by the fire, leaving only the dark ruins.

The four of them walked into the compound and then started searching. In fact, they didn't know what to look for, so they just searched for it first.

Most of the buildings in the town of Moreya are made of wooden structures, and all of them are burned into coke under the fire, and only some metal objects are preserved.

Xiao flipped through and found a kitchen knife, an iron pot, and then found another iron stick.

He took these things to the courtyard and put them down, then went into the ruins and continued to search, but he did not find anything like a treasure chest.

The four of them searched for an afternoon, but there was no treasure except pots and pans.

"Will it be burned?"

The four of them sat under a tree outside the courtyard and said uncertainly.

Xiao shook his head and said, "Impossible. If it is a treasure, it must be something like gold coins. Even if it is burned, it will not disappear."

"In other words, there is actually no treasure?" Xiao Ming guessed.

Xiao looked at the water well and said, "We have another place we haven't found."

"You mean you're underground?" Xiao Ming immediately reacted and asked at Xiao.

The owl nodded and said, "There is this possibility, otherwise we can only dig three feet into the ground to determine whether the treasure exists."

There can be confirmed that there is no treasure in the ruins of the building. They only have two choices: one is to give up, and the other is to make reasonable speculations based on the fact that the treasure does exist.
