Chapter 4: White Grubs
Reality proved that even though Luo Wen wasn’t afraid of the white grubs, his current weaponry and equipment were utterly useless against them.
The white grubs’ skin appeared delicate and transparent, as if it could break with a single poke. However, it was incredibly tough—at least from Luo Wen’s perspective at the moment. His striding limbs, small claws, and proboscis-like mouthparts were powerless against the white grubs.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but envy their massive fangs.
Watching the fat white grub roll around incessantly as if mocking him—”Come on, do your worst!”—Luo Wen felt his frustration rise. If he were still human, he could have crushed the white grub into a burst of pulp with just two fingers. But thinking about it, the notion felt revolting, so he quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.
Suddenly, a realization struck him. The presence of this white grub here meant there had to be food nearby; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so lively and energetic.
“Just you wait! I’ll eat up all your food and starve you to death. Let’s see how cocky you’ll be then!” Luo Wen glared menacingly at the white grub.
Without paying it any further attention, he resumed digging.
Before long, he unearthed a few more siblings of the white grub. This discovery irritated Luo Wen even more. Why did other insects live in colonies, yet he was all alone?
After brushing these annoying worms aside, the soil crumbled to reveal the food they had been guarding.
