Douluo Continent: Starting with Transforming Xiao Wu into the Zerg Queen

Looking at the hunched figure sitting on the bed, his hands clenched into fists beneath the cloak, trembling violently.

"Old Jack."

The middle-aged man spoke softly to old Jack, who was sitting on the wooden bed.

Crack!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out inside the room.

Old Jack's movements froze for a moment, then his head stiffly and slowly turned around.

The bones in his neck crackled and popped like firecrackers as Old Jack turned his head.

But old Jack's hunched body remained motionless, sitting on the bed.

Old Jack's head slowly turned backward, inch by inch.

When it reached an extreme angle, with a loud crack, old Jack's head twisted violently and turned completely around!

His head turned 180 degrees, his eyes bloodshot and filled with countless fine blood vessels as he stared intently at the middle-aged man.

Old Jack, however, remained seated on the bed, his back completely to the middle-aged man!

Old Jack's face was pale, and his eyes were eerily bloodshot, with countless fine, fleshy tentacles constantly leaping out of his eye sockets and fluttering around his eyeballs.

Old Jack's face was pale and dry, dull and without any luster.

Like a withered tree bark, it was as if it were embedded in her face.

"Oh, it's Tang Hao."

Old Jack slowly grinned, revealing blood-red lips, and gave the middle-aged man a strange smile, his expression seemingly both mocking and weeping.

Old Jack's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a sharp stone being rubbed hard on the ground, extremely grating.

"Long time no see, Tang Hao! Why are you only just getting back?! Why are you only just getting back?!"

Old Jack's eyes suddenly bulged out as he stared intently at Tang Hao, large amounts of blood seeping from his mouth, completely soaking his shirt.

The sound became even more piercing and unpleasant, with sharp sound waves desperately trying to penetrate Tang Hao's head.

Seeing Old Jack's appearance, Tang Hao remained silent.

The last vestige of hope in his heart was shattered completely, beneath the cloak.

His burly body trembled slightly, and a desolate aura slowly emanated from Tang Hao.

Looking at Old Jack's appearance, Tang Hao slowly opened his mouth and said, "Old Jack."

"What happened in the village? Why did you become like this?"

As if he hadn't heard Tang Hao's words, Old Jack moved his body off the bed and slowly crawled toward Tang Hao.

The withered lips continued to shout, "Tang Hao! Tang Hao!!! You're finally back!"

Squeak!! Squeak!!

As Old Jack moved, the object he had been fiddling with while his back was to Tang Hao was carelessly tossed onto the bed.

That was an arm.

An incredibly delicate arm.

A tattered piece of red cloth was still hanging on it.

On this delicate arm, several dark teeth marks and countless needle-thread holes are clearly visible.

Countless drops of purplish-black blood trickled out from the needle holes, casting an eerie red hue over the small wooden bed.

Tang Hao stood there blankly, his last shred of hope shattered by the sight before him.

Seeing Old Jack desperately lunging at him, Tang Hao felt a sudden wave of nausea.

It's an inescapable feeling that makes you want to gag intensely.

This feeling almost brought back the feeling of that one thing.

A faint crimson hue gradually appeared in Tang Hao's eyes.

"Get out!!! Get out of here!!!"

Tang Hao's voice was like muffled thunder!

He roared desperately at Old Jack, his body enveloped in crimson soul power, which surged fiercely towards Old Jack with his roar!

Crunch!

Old Jack's body, like a tattered leaf, was tossed and swayed by the immense fluctuations of soul power.

at last.

Old Jack's lower body couldn't withstand the tearing and was slammed hard against the wall behind him.

But old Jack's withered hands gripped Tang Hao's arm tightly.

Old Jack's back was to Tang Hao, his scarlet eyes meeting Tang Hao's gaze, his pale face barely breathing.

At that moment, Tang Hao saw a struggle in Old Jack's eyes, and a trace of Old Jack's loving kindness.

Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat!

"Tang Hao, don't blame me."

"Tang Hao, I know! Quick, run!"

Old Jack used all his strength to finish saying those words, and with his withered hands pushed Tang Hao hard, as if he wanted to push Tang Hao away.

"Old Jack!"

Tang Hao's voice was choked with emotion as he tried to wrap his arms around Old Jack's remaining, broken body.

Glug glug—!

Suddenly, a strange sound came from Old Jack's body.

It sounded like flowing water, or perhaps the constant wriggling and crawling of some dark creature.

At the same time, old Jack's eyes were tightly closed, and he had completely stopped breathing.

But old Jack's body was convulsing violently.

hiss--!

Chi Chi Chi!

A scarlet, one-inch-long worm slowly crawled out of Old Jack's body.

Then he wanted to burrow into the ground.

Tang Hao disregarded his grief and swiftly used his soul power to suppress the strange worm.

Chi Chi Chi!

The worm writhed violently back and forth, but when it couldn't break free from Tang Hao's control, it suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into a pool of blood that flowed onto the ground.

The ground sizzled as it was corroded by the pool of blood.

Inside the room, silence returned.

Tang Hao stared blankly at the scene before him, then looked at Old Jack's corpse.

He then ran out of Old Jack's house like a madman.

Standing on the street of Holy Soul Village, looking back at the path I had walked before.

All the villagers he killed.

They all collapsed to the ground, their bodies shriveled and emaciated.

Without exception, each of them had a huge, bloody hole torn open in their chest.

The opening is neither too big nor too small.

It was just big enough for a worm to crawl out of.

Chapter 101 Stupid Davis! Tunnel Worm!

Tang Hao's eyes glazed over slightly as he looked at the drastically changed Holy Soul Village before him, a chill suddenly running down his spine.

Tang Hao, who was fearless, suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Holy Soul Village.

What happened?

Tang Hao stared blankly at the Holy Soul Village, which resembled a living hell, and slowly raised an arm from under his cloak.

He opened his palm, and there was a small, round ball that was constantly flashing with fluorescence.

At this moment, the light inside the small round ball had already dimmed considerably, and the last glimmer of light was like a candle flame about to be extinguished, flickering precariously.

"I wish I had come back sooner."

Tang Hao was utterly devastated, his muttered words choked with sobs.

At this moment, the last soft spot in this hardened man's heart was completely shattered.

Old Jack's kind face and his meticulous care for Tang San.

The glimmer of hope for the meaning of life that Tang San had felt because of his awakening of his martial soul was completely shattered.

Tang Hao lowered his head and remained silent, his dark aura growing ever deeper.

Wow! Wow!!

A jet-black crow let out a mournful cry, then flapped its wings and flew towards the back mountain of Holy Soul Village.

Tang Hao suddenly woke up and looked up at the purplish-black grassland in Holy Soul Village, which stretched into the mountains behind the village as if it had no end.

These meadows seem to have appeared only since I entered Holy Soul Village, right?
