Chapter 214: 189. Lin Da captures the Flesh Worm, ruthlessly exploits it.
"What are you doing, ying ying! Let me go at once!"
Under the sinister gaze of Lin Da and the others, the fake Monica panicked, flailing her small hands and feet vigorously. It certainly didn't want to be shoved back and forth by humans until its buttocks turned bright red!
But the strength of the Dark Whip was clearly not something it could escape from.
The bed shook chaotically, and the delicate limbs were also marked with red welts.
Lin Da remained indifferent and took out a candle to light it.
The thing that the Flesh Worms feared the most, Monica had told him through text.
Anything burning... They were very afraid of it!
Just seeing the flame was enough to make them tremble with fear.
Previously, in the underground hall, the fake Monica went outside to 'feed', and it wasn't without reason that there were too many blue torches in the hall.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have let its true form out of sight.
"Ying ying, what are you doing! Keep that thing away from me!"
The fake Monica tied to the bed was terrified and struggling fiercely.
As Lin Da approached with the candle in hand, the fake Monica's eyes almost dropped pearls, and its delicate body trembled, "Don't be scared, I'm no longer part of the 'Wish Bug' family, this thing can't hurt me..."
Lin Da snorted and lifted the fake Monica's garments, exposing her white belly.
Although the soul inside was a Magical Creature, the body was after all a teammate's, and the soft tender belly made Lin Da feel somewhat reluctant...
His fingers gently stroked, eliciting a scream from the fake Monica. The sensitivity of a girl's body was probably much higher than that of the ugly skin of a Flesh Worm, a peculiar sensation the Flesh Worm had never experienced before.
'It's a Magical Creature, I must not be soft-hearted!'
Lin Da took a deep breath and tilted the candle with an indifferent expression.
The liquid candle wax collected drop by drop, falling toward the waist of the fake Monica.
During this time, Monica transformed into a Flesh Worm, emitting bashful ying ying sounds.
Lin Da focused his gaze, trying not to look at the impressive terrain nearby.
All his teammates had developed too well.
Drip drop.
The slightly hot candle wax fell onto the fake Monica's belly.
In Lin Da's view, a red -1 popped up.
The scalded area turned slightly red.
All things considered, it was not a lethal attack.
Was this method effective?
Just as Lin Da was wondering, the fake Monica's body tensed up, her little face showing extreme terror as she let out a high-pitched scream, "Ying ying!!!"
The wail was akin to a pampered little Princess being forcefully stuffed into a puff pastry by a Goblin.
It was so loud it could drown out the cries of a hundred wailing babies!
To the Flesh Worms of the 'Wish Bug' family, dripping wax, which is an ordinary, even pleasurable torture for some adventurers, seemed like a more terrifying punishment than death itself.
"I don't want this at all!"
The fake Monica cried out in despair, her body convulsed briefly, and then her expression gradually returned to calm as she blinked in confusion, "Lord Captain? I feel like I've come back."
Meanwhile.
The Flesh Worm, as quick as a rabbit, scurried off toward the door.
Lin Da was prepared, "Dark Whip, go!"
A purple energy whip shot out from his palm, like a venomous snake hunting its prey, opening its maw wide and biting onto the Flesh Worm.
"Ying ying! No!"
A soft, adult female's voice came from within the Flesh Worm.
Lin Da certainly wasn't one to 'Cherish Fragility'. He yanked the Flesh Worm over, stomped on it, and with a sneer, poured the entire candle wax onto the head of the Magical Creature.
"Ying ying! Ying ying ying!"
The Flesh Worm twisted and writhed as if scalded by boiling water.
From full of life, in just a few minutes, it was on its last breath.
"Ying..."
If the Flesh Worm had been human, by now Lin Da's wax dripping would have it rolling its eyes and drooling.
Kafni untied Monica, who with tearful eyes, burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Da's arms.
```
"Becoming a bug, how terrifying! Wuuwuuwuu..."
The experiences of just one day were unforgettable for Monica!
Lin Da could only hold Monica, gently stroking the young girl's head.
"Wait, Captain will avenge you."
Lin Da lit the second candle, taking a two-pronged approach.
"No, stop... I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you all!" The Flesh Worm's voice was tearful, "I'll fulfill all your wishes, just don't treat me this way, ying ying..."
Kafni was furious, "You wretched bug, trying to trick us again, huh!"
Bang Bang Bang!
Kafni kicked the Flesh Worm wildly, causing its head to swell.
"No, that's not it, my real body is in your hands, how dare I trick you." The Flesh Worm said in pain, "I was hiding under the pool earlier, that's why I dared to play tricks, but now with my real body exposed, I truly don't dare to offend you all."
"There's some logic to that, but not much. Who knows what you're planning." Kafni huffed.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Da said, "Let's do this, start with something minor and work our way up. At the first sign of anything fishy, we'll kill this thing right away."
"Good." Kafni cracked her knuckles, "Lord myself here, especially loves to bully Magical Creatures."
The Flesh Worm trembled with fear.
It said, "Ahem, I should remind you that my power is limited. If you make too many wishes, I might break, so..."
"So just pray then," Kafni sneered. "Pray you don't break!"
"Ying ying..."
"The wishing starts now." Lin Da thought for a moment, holding up a finger, "Give me one Level 1 Demon Core."
Slurp.
The Flesh Worm spit out a fingernail-sized blue stone from its mouth.
Lin Da picked it up to inspect, and sure enough, it was a Level 1 Demon Core.
"One Level 2 Demon Core."
"One Level 3."
"Level 4..."
Ten minutes into the experiment.
In front of Lin Da lay 20 Demon Cores, Levels 1 through 20.
His wishes had indeed come true.
Correspondingly, the Flesh Worm had shrunk in size, its plump body now shriveled.
"Helped you lose weight, be grateful." Kafni kicked the Flesh Worm once more.
"Ying!" The Flesh Worm let out a furious cry, but upon seeing Kafni pick up the candle, it was frightened into drooping its head.
"Bad bug." Monica, holding a grudge, hid behind Lin Da and attacked the Flesh Worm with her gaze.
"Hmph." The Flesh Worm was disdainful, afraid of Lin Da and Kafni, but not at all of Big Lolita.
If it had the chance, it still planned to seize Monica's body!
"Next is the 21st wish."
Lin Da calmly stated, "An Epic-level Material, Golden Dragon Skin."
In Lin Da's Space Ring, there was the Thousand-Change Demon's Demon Core, just lacking a piece of Dragon Skin to craft the Epic Equipment, Magic Dragon Soft Armor.
The Flesh Worm spoke hastily, "No, no way! Give me another wish! You've already taken so many magic gems, asking for Dragon Skin now will greatly injure me!"
Lin Da was expressionless, "So? Impoverished and desperate adventurers injure themselves every time they go on a date with Elves at the tavern. And you, a defeated underling, should be thinking about how to save your life, yet you expect to remain unscathed?"
"Ugh."
The Flesh Worm was left speechless.
It had held sway at the Dawn Church, able to utter a sound and send out 'Divine Decrees,' and everyone held it in awe.
But falling into Lin Da's hands... it only wanted to return to its own pool!
"Can't produce Golden Dragon Skin, is that it?"
Lin Da shook his head regretfully, "Kafni, do it."
"Eh, wait a second!"
Seeing the danger it was in, the Flesh Worm cried out in a panic and under Lin Da's satisfied gaze, its body emitted a white light. After that, it exerted force and spat something out.
