In the beginning, they didn’t see any reaction, but the more they stare, the more they felt their scalps tingling.

The blood that was in the lard was decreasing bit by bit.

It was impossible to mix blood and lard together. If the blood was reduced, it only can only leak or be sucked by something.

Bai Zhi took a silver needle. After the blood in the bowl disappeared, she pushed aside the two pieces of licorice a little bit and saw several red soft worms quickly got into the lard from the licorice.

There were several holes in the licorice.

The three of them looked horrified. With just two slices of licorice, there were so many gu worms attached to them. If those people drink three bowls of tea a day, wouldn’t they be full of such venomous worms?

Thinking of the disgusting scenes in the movie the City of Zombies, Bai Zhi had a chill and felt uneasy. She even felt her scalp tingling.

Hu Feng looked at the bowl of lard and asked, “How do you kill these things when they get into your body?”

Bai Zhi thought for a while, and said: “Since they like to eat blood and oil, the opposite thing may be their nemesis.”

Hu Feng couldn’t think of something opposite of lard.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, “Did you forget? If the bowl is too oily, you need to wash it with hot water and soap to make it clean.”

Hu Feng suddenly said, “Yes, that’s the reason.”

Soon someone brought hot water and soap.

Bai Zhi put the lard bowl on the stove. The creamy lard quickly turned into a transparent liquid. There were dozens of red and black venomous worms greedily sucking the lard in the bowl. Their bodies were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it grows slowly, it can be seen clearly.

Bai Zhi didn’t care about them, and let them eat first, and then start making a move when they were full.

Most of the lard in the bowl was eaten clean in two-quarters of an hour. The gu worms also grew a lot. Each of them was as thick as a child’s finger. The small bowl filled with lard now was replaced by these venomous worms.

The three felt nauseous but suppressed their desire to vomit.

Bai Zhi took the hot water and soap liquid. She poured the hot water first. The gu worms were swimming restlessly, but there was no change.

Bai Zhi poured the soap next after diluting it. The Gu worms who were swimming restlessly began to roll and twist their bodies. Soon, white bubbles appeared in the bowl, and the white bubbles turned into red bubbles. The gu worms made splashing sounds as if they were small fishes.

She didn’t know how long it took before the movement inside the bowl, became smaller and smaller until it was completely disappeared.

Bai Zhi ordered people to take a large white porcelain bowl and pour all the contents of the small bowl into the large bowl. After the bubbles disappeared, only a stinky thick juice remained in the large bowl.

Hu Feng raised an eyebrow: “It melted?”

Bai Zhi nodded: “It seems that it has been melted. It turns out that the soap is the nemesis of this gu worm.”

Zhou Awu busily said: “But you can’t drink soap. I remember seeing a child who drank a lot of soap before, it almost killed him.”

Bai Zhi glanced at the leftover soap in the bowl. The soap here was very different from the soap in modern times. There were not so many chemical additives, so even if it was eaten, people will not die.

Bai Zhi said: “The child almost lost his life, but he didn’t die and survive, right?”

Zhou Awu immediately understood her meaning, he nodded his head: “Yes, he is still alive, and didn’t have any aftereffect.”
