The two people digging for gems did not notice that some of the gems had dark, deep holes inside, and from within these holes came faint rustling sounds, as if small animals were crawling through them. The two people, too focused on digging for gems, didn't discover this at all, and continued to dig, unearthing many more black holes.

  The fourth elder finished digging one place and went to dig in another direction. On the side where he was heading, small insects like spiders crawled out, densely packed together.

  Lao Wu continued to focus on digging the gemstone in front of him, a black hole appeared where he had dug, he looked puzzled and leaned forward, seemingly hearing a rustling sound by his ear. He looked again and a small spider crawled out from the black hole. Lao Wu, who was initially startled, let out a sigh of relief, "It's just you little thing, scram."

  He stretched out his hand to crush the spider in his palm, but the spider suddenly bit him hard. Just as Lao Wu was about to shake off the spider, it strangely crawled into his wound, and a sharp pain followed, causing Lao Wu to let out a painful cry.

  Lao Si, who was standing beside him, hadn't noticed what was behind him and pulled back Lao Wu, who was about to fall backwards. "What's wrong with you, Lao Wu?"

  Lao Wu was covered in sweat, his whole body convulsing, his face twisted in agony. "I'm in pain, I'm in pain, Fourth Brother! A spider has crawled into my body and it hurts so much!"

  Lao Si was about to look at Lao Wu's wound when he suddenly felt a severe pain in his neck. He slapped the painful spot on his neck with his hand, and found two dead spiders on his palm. Thinking that would be the end of it, but the pain only intensified, spreading from his neck to his back. He felt as if hundreds of small creatures were crawling into his body through his neck, then scurrying down his back and into his own body.

  Lao Wu let out a loud, agonizing cry, and Lao Si followed suit. Suddenly, a swarm of spiders emerged from the dense thicket in front of them. The two men watched in horror as countless spiders poured out of the black hole above their heads, crawling towards them with an unnerving intensity. Many of the spiders bit down on them, then burrowed into their bodies through the wounds. They could see the small, grotesque creatures bulging out of their arms - countless spiders that filled them with a terror so profound they were left speechless.

  Lao Wu and Lao Si cried out in alarm as they fell backwards from the tree and landed on the ground.

  Huang Quan and Lao Er, who were standing still, looked over in the direction of the noise, and soon saw two people struggling painfully on the ground, surrounded by countless small black spiders that were fiercely wrapping around them.

  "What is that?"

  Huang Quan stared with his eyes wide open, asking incredulously. Lao Er's face turned pale as he shook his head, he didn't know either, now his mind was a complete blank, it felt like everything was just a dream.

  "Big brother, save me, save me."

  "Second brother, save me, I don't want to die."

  Lao Si and Lao Wu's bodies were infested with countless spiders, their entire persons dyed crimson, the spiders crawling about inside them, that moment looking eerie and terrifying, even Qin Tianye couldn't bear it.

  Huang Quan and Lao Er stood frozen in terror on the spot, unable to move forward.

  "What in the world is this stuff?"

  "I don't know, I also don't know, why these things would drill into the body, what are they going to do?"
