Chapter 33: Poison Scorpion and Devil Fruit

About twenty minutes later, Lily's ship successfully docked at the island. It was a very small island, and three-quarters of it was covered by mountains. There was only one small village, but Lily and others only replenished a few barrels of fresh water anyway. The size of the village does not matter.

But when everyone came to the island, they felt something was wrong. It was too quiet. The whole village was too quiet and there was no breath of life at all. It was noon, but there was no smoke in the village in front of them. There was no one on the road, except those who were blown by the wind. No one could hear anything except the sound.

"Everyone is on alert. You and I, please go back to the ship and inform the eldest sister. Others are not allowed to disperse and pay attention to your surroundings." The battle team leader directed the two of them to go back to the ship and notify Lily, while the remaining ten people stayed together to be on guard.

Leading the people behind him, the combat team leader slowly approached the largest house. He knocked gently on the door, but no one responded. He knocked again, and then quickly put his ear to the door. There was nothing inside. There was no movement, and the other boys looked in through the window and saw nothing.

"3, 2, 1!" The combat team leader kicked open the door. The room was filled with dust and there was no one.

"Work in pairs and search to see if there are any clues." The combat team leader said, lighting the oil lamp hanging on the side of the door.

After a while, the four groups came back and found nothing.

"Team leader! Come quickly! The bones have been found!" The people in the fifth group shouted loudly.

The combat team leader rushed forward. In a small room on the second floor that looked like a storage room, two white bones were scattered on the ground.

"Quickly, see if the eldest sister is here, call the eldest sister here as soon as possible." The battle team leader ordered.

After a while, two boys came upstairs with Lily.

When Lily saw the two bones, she immediately felt something was wrong. They were too clean. The two bones were too clean. They didn't look like rotten bones, but more like skeleton models in the hospital. But they were wrong. The texture was real. Bones, not models, and based on color, hardness, etc., these human bones had been exposed to the air for less than a week.

Lily gently touched the bones with her hands, and she found something was wrong. There were some small lines on these bones. These were not the lines of normal bones. It was like someone had lightly scratched them with a knife, and then scratched tens of thousands of them. Knives, millions of knives.

"Insects?" Lily suddenly remembered the story Wan Shou told him. A man destroyed the corpse by throwing it into the nest of carnivorous insects. Unexpectedly, these insects only eat meat and not bones. In the end, they found the bones. On to the perpetrator.

The bones Wan Shou described were very similar to the ones on her hands. Lily raised her head and asked:

"Do any of you know any special insects on this island?"

"Insects? I really don't know. This island is an island belonging to Ubo Island. It has no name, and there are very few docked ships. After all, there is a better Ubo Island, and no one has to go here." We got off the boat together. The navigator thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.

Lily frowned, looked at the other houses outside the window, and gave an order.

"Everyone, search all the houses in pairs. If you find such bones, report to me. Everyone, pay attention. There should be carnivorous insects on this island, and there are a lot of them."

"yes."

After hearing Lily's order, the crew members spread out to search, and soon someone reported that they found bones, some under the bed, some in the cellar, some in the warehouse, and some on the street.

Lily checked the bones one by one and confirmed that they were all eaten clean by insects. This answer gave the crew a collective shiver. Just thinking about their bodies being covered with insects, and then these insects passed through their mouthparts like small knives. It feels horrible to tear off the flesh from your own body.

"You guys get back on the ship as soon as possible, sail directly out of the port, and wait for me on the coastline." After Lily finished speaking, she walked directly to the hill behind the village without waiting for the crew to reply. Lily had a hunch that she would find something terrible this time. something.

The others wanted to persuade Lily, but after thinking about Lily's strength, crickets and insects were not a problem, so they didn't say anything more. After finding the well in the village and filling it with fresh water, they immediately left in a boat.

The camera returned to Lily. Lily was walking along the obvious traces of being trampled on the ground. Her domineering spirit was fully activated. The trees and weeds around her were guiding her. As Lily went deeper, A faint sweet smell appeared, and Lily, as a doctor, immediately realized that there were toxins in the air here, but this toxin had no effect on Lily, who was a ghost.

Lily quickened her pace, ducked a few times and came to a dirt bag, and released her domineering power towards the ground. In Lily's senses, densely packed scorpions were crawling underground, the number of which would make trypophobia 100% sure. collapse.

Just when Lily thought she had found the culprit for the destruction of the village, a different aura appeared in Lily's senses. It looked like a scorpion, but this scorpion was too big, at least more than two meters long. Absolutely not normal.

Lily chased the scorpion and finally came to a large pit. Standing on the top of the pit, Lily looked at the large and small round holes on the walls of the pit. After a while, scorpions crawled out of the round holes. They came out and gathered into the big pit, but these were not what Lily was looking for. After waiting for a while, a round hole began to shake violently.

With a "bang", a huge scorpion rushed out from inside, and other scorpions made way for the big scorpion. When the giant scorpion landed, it turned into a delicate little girl in a white dress. She looked about 7-8 years old, with pink semi-long hair hanging on her shoulders and big purple eyes.

[Fruit ability user! ] Lily thought immediately, but Lily did not speak. Although the little girl in front of her gave her a good feeling, the feeling in her heart was not directed at this girl, at least not completely directed at her.

Lily watched the little girl walk to the round platform in the middle of the pit. Just when Lily thought the little girl was going to say something, she saw her holding a scorpion like amethyst in her hand. The scorpion swung in the little girl's hand, and at the same time, it made a series of clicking sounds with its pliers. As the crystal scorpion moved, the other poisonous scorpions began to get agitated. For a while, the whole pit was full of the clicking sounds of the pliers, and it was quiet for a while.

Then, the amethyst scorpion swung its tail again, and the scorpions below made way for a passage. The little girl walked down holding the crystal scorpion, and then a group of poisonous scorpions rushed up and dug up the earthen round table. When the scorpions dispersed again, a strange fruit appeared.

[Devil Fruit! ] Lily tensed up instantly. It was a lavender devil fruit, crystal clear and beautiful, with a branch hanging on it, like the poison hook on the tail of a poisonous scorpion.

At this time, the scorpions made way for a passage again, and the crystal scorpion in the little girl's hand danced again, as if telling the little girl something.

As if she understood what the crystal scorpion meant, the little girl walked forward slowly, gently picked up the purple fruit, and looked at it from left to right.

Then, to Lily's surprise, the little girl actually opened her mouth and prepared to bite it.

In a flash, Lily appeared in the middle of the pit in a flash, stood in front of the little girl, and snatched the devil fruit away.

"I didn't expect there are still fools in this world who want to eat two devil fruits. Being too greedy will cost you your life!"

The scorpions are rioting!
