Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3194: Hide Behind Nuonuo

"Could it be... there is something hidden beneath? The kind of monster the Saintess Sect harbors, one that devours people?" Little Nuonuo's eyes gleamed with speculation as he gazed at the heap of corpses.

A monster, he mused, could he possibly fight it?

He glanced up at his eldest brother, then his second-eldest, and finally down at his own small stature, feeling a pang of disappointment.

His brothers wouldn't permit him the opportunity, and any attempt would merely divert their attention. It was better to conserve his energy; once he grew taller and stronger, he could truly participate in the fray.

"What is it, are you afraid?"

Min Yi scooped the little one up again and inquired.

He had registered the peculiar, almost indescribable look on the infant's face. Was it fear?

"I am not afraid in the slightest!"

Little Nuonuo immediately puffed out his chest.

With his brothers leading the way, what was there to fear? Even if the worst occurred and they were overcome, the Stone People would surely intervene.

The absence of any warning from them thus far suggested that whatever lurked here was within their capabilities to manage. When the moment arrived, he would witness his brothers crushing that monster's head!

"Big Brother Min Yi, your cultivation level is not particularly high. If a fight breaks out, remember to position yourself behind Nuonuo. Nuonuo will keep you safe."

He patted his own chest with gusto, speaking with an air of bravado to Min Yi.

Min Yi: "..."

He felt an urge to protest that the situation wasn't dire; even in defeat, he wouldn't require protection from a mere toddler.

Did he possess no sense of pride? If this declaration were ever to spread, his reputation would be ruined.

Just as he contemplated how to salvage his dignity and make a favorable impression on the young child, a distinct 'clack clack' emanated from the mound of deceased bodies.

"What is that noise?"

He traced the sound to its source and beheld a large, pale, and plump insectoid creature emerging from the mountain of remains, its mandibles crunching on human bones before it swallowed them whole.

"Gulp."

Unable to suppress a flinch, he instinctively took a step backward, swallowing nervously.

"Blood Corpse Worm!"

Upon uttering this name, every strand of hair on his body seemed to stand on end.

"What is a Blood Corpse Worm?"

Little Nuonuo, cradled in his arms, inquired with evident curiosity, being the only one who had clearly discerned his mumbled words.

"Shh!"

Min Yi gestured emphatically for silence toward the child, listening intently to the rustling.

"Come here, all of you, gather closer."

He motioned Qian Yizheng and the others to approach, lowering his voice and beckoning them, his gaze darting nervously towards the Blood Corpse Worm, fearful it might suddenly advance.

"Blood Corpse Worms are a peculiar variety of demonic beast native to the Seasonal Moon Plane. They exhibit pack behavior and sustain themselves on carrion, exhibiting a particular fondness for human skeletal remains.

The existence of Blood Corpse Worms on the Seasonal Moon Plane necessitates a specialized type of timber known as Sun-facing Trees."

"I am aware of that. We observed Sun-facing Trees growing in abundance along our journey; their scent is quite overpowering, yet they are planted so extensively." Little Nuonuo raised his small, chubby hand, interjecting.

"This is precisely because Blood Corpse Worms possess an intense aversion to the aroma of Sun-facing Trees. Consequently, the sole regions on the Seasonal Moon Plane that remain untainted by Blood Corpse Worms are those where Sun-facing Trees have been cultivated."

Min Yi elaborated.

"Furthermore, given that Blood Corpse Worms subsist on decaying flesh, humans are compelled to utilize Sun-facing Wood exclusively for their coffins; otherwise, any buried bodies would simply vanish within a few short days."
