Inside a room of the villa.
Shi Xiaole is seated cross-legged on the bed.
He wasn't aware of the bugs inside his body but now that he found out, there was no way he would just sit idly by and wait for death. He immediately deployed his spirit strength to scan his entire body over and over again.
Shi Xiaole's spirit strength had always been higher than top practitioners in the Spiritual-Passage Realm. His strength had grown exponentially after absorbing the spiritual essence from the mysterious creature's brain in the ghost fortress, unparalleled beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
After scanning his body dozens of times, he finally discovered an anomaly in his rib.
It was a tiny, barely noticeable dark spot, not much bigger than a speck of dust, which was moving with the flow of his blood, making it hard to discover.
To his astonishment, the bug was being eroded by some unknown force within his body, having already lost a small part of its form.
