“What?” Looking at the palm covering the opening of the glass, Bo was shocked.
“Fishy? How so?” He sniffed the wine and said confusedly, “The wine has a full-bodied fragrance and a lasting after smell. It’sfine.”
“The wine on its own is fine. But there is something else in it. If you drink it, you'll die.” Dustin replied seriously.
“Is the wine poisoned?” Bo frowned and put down his glass of wine slowly. He turned to gaze at his bodyguards and askedcoldly, “What’s going on?”
It was protocol that his wine would be tested for poison before it was served to him. It'd only be brought before Bo if it wasdeemed safe.
“Mr. Dawson, we tested the wine. There was no poison in it.” The bodyguards immediately shook their heads to confirm that thewine hadn't been poisoned.
“| saw it with my own eyes. The test was negative.” Elara, the female grandmaster, said calmly.
“Dustin, could you have made a mistake?” Bo thought it was weird. He could choose not to trust his bodyguards, but he wouldnever doubt Elara. They grew up together and had been through life-and-death situations. There was no secret between them.
“You were testing for poison. But the substance in the wine isn’t poison.” Dustin took out a needle as he spoke and pricked hisfinger lightly.
He then squeezed out a drop of blood and let it drip into the glass of wine. As soon as the blood dripped into the wine, somethingblood-curdling happened.
The wine started bubbling when the drop of blood fell into it. Suddenly, there were parasitic worms started wriggling andsquirming as they fought to devour Dustin’s drop of blood.
These parasitic worms were transparent and tiny. If they were not moving, they could not be detected by the naked eye.
However, if there was blood, the parasitic worms would be attracted to it and become aggressive as they fought to feed on freshblood. Everyone had goosebumps as they looked at the swarming parasitic worms in the glass.
“What... What is this?” Bo was so scared that his eye started twitching as he staggered backward. The small glass of wineactually contained so many parasitic worms. If they had drunk it, they would have been eaten alive from the inside!
“This is the zombie worm, one of the many venomous curses. Mystic artists will cultivate these worms using corpses,” Dustinexplained casually.
“Zombie worms feed on fresh blood. Once they get into a human body, they will continuously reproduce as they devour humanflesh and blood. “If the person wasn’t treated with an antidote, the person who has been cursed will die a slow death.”
“Fuck! This is such a brutal method! Who would be this cruel? How could they use this curse on another person?” Bo wasshocked and angry. He had always been cautious.
Nevertheless, there were still things like this curse that he could never prevent.novelbin
“It was good that we found out in time. If not, it would have been a mess.” Lana also looked terrified.
The zombie worms could not be detected using a normal test. They would die without knowing the reason if they had consumedwithout realizing it.
Elara suddenly pulled a long sword from the sheath around her waist and immediately held the blade against the waitress’ neck.She shouted, “Tell me! Who's behind this?”
“No, no, it wasn’t me! | don’t know anything about this!” The waitress was so scared that she shivered and fell to the floor. Shelooked terrified.
“You served the wine. Hence, you're the biggest suspect. You should just be honest. If not, then prepare to die!” Elara glared atthe waitress.
She had put Bo in danger due to her invigilance. If Dustin hadn’t noticed it, she could not have redeemed herself if anythinghappened.
“I-I really don’t know! I’m just a waitress, and | didn’t do anything!” The waitress was so startled that she started crying. Her tearsfell like rain.
