Chapter 51 Grandma will never do anything immoral again.
Through the narrow opening, she seemed to see a cold, bloodthirsty light flashing inside, which startled Old Lady Sun.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ground cracked open rapidly like a spider web, with the cracks extending in all directions, and the hole below grew larger and larger.
Grandma Sun stared in horror, her face drained of color, and she quickly backed away.
In her panic, she glanced down and, just as Zhao Taohua's little dog had said, there was a grub down there.
Normally, the largest grubs are no bigger than a thumb, but this one was more than two meters long.
Its enormous body, like a thick tree trunk, twisted and turned inside the cave.
Its body was covered with a slippery, gleaming dark gray skin, covered with eerie black spots and patterns.
Its head was flat and round, with a pair of huge compound eyes on both sides. When Grandma Sun and Grandpa Sun looked at each other, Grandma Sun was so frightened that she staggered and tripped over the crack in the ground, falling into the cave.
In the critical moment, she flailed her arms in the air and managed to grab a piece of the ground, thus preventing herself from falling.
"Help!"
Grandma Sun clung to the ground, her feet bracing against the cave walls, and cried out for help.
Zhao Daqiang, Zhou Shi, and Zhao Feng, who had been following behind her, had already run far away, and none of them dared to step forward.
The commotion was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of other villagers who were catching insects in the medicinal herb field. When they arrived, they all shrank back in fear, and no one dared to go forward.
"What should we do? This grub is so big, won't it eat Sun Shi?"
"After we finish eating Grandma Sun, what if she crawls out and eats us all?"
Grandma Sun clung to the ground, listening to the eerie rustling sounds coming from the grub below.
She was terrified, and her tense nerves were so agitated by the conversations of the other villagers that her crotch became wet.
The village chief frowned with worry. Although Grandma Sun's character wasn't great, he still didn't want any deaths to occur in Zhao Family Village.
He quickly called out to Zhao Taohua across the street:
"Peach Blossom, do you have any way to kill this enormous grub monster?"
Upon hearing the village chief's words, hope immediately ignited in the eyes of the people who had been lost and panicked.
They all looked at Zhao Taohua: "Taohua, you have to think of something!"
Zhao Taohua explained to everyone, "Don't worry, it doesn't eat people."
It's this pest that's causing all the damage, bringing many pests to everyone's medicinal herb fields.
But Grandma, you must be careful! Don't fall! If you get crushed by the grub monster, you'll die!
Grandma Sun pleaded loudly, "Peach Blossom, please save Grandma! Grandma was wrong before, Grandma will never do anything immoral again."
This time, Grandma Sun truly felt the consequences.
Why can't other people step into the grub monster's hole? Why don't other people fall in?
It turns out that doing too many bad things really does have consequences.
It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet!
Grandma Sun hung in mid-air, weeping bitterly while yellow urine dripped from her trouser legs.
Zhao Taohua glanced at the snail spirit in her hand and saw that its four tentacles were shaking wildly in four directions, as if it couldn't wait.
Zhao Taohua's lips curled up slightly; she was also somewhat looking forward to seeing its abilities.
She threw the snail spirit into the hole, and Grandma Sun seemed to hear the sound of a pebble falling to the ground.
The next moment, she felt as if her body, which had been suspended in mid-air, had stepped on something.
Looking down, she saw a shell of unknown origin, which continued to grow larger, eventually lifting her out of the hole!
Grandma Sun didn't dare to hesitate at all and quickly climbed out of the hole by stepping on the giant shell.
However, Zhao Lianhua, standing behind Zhao Taohua, could see it clearly. Just now, Taohua threw something out, and that thing suddenly became enormous.
Its shell almost filled the entire burrow, and it even looked a bit bigger than the grub monster.
After seeing that Old Lady Sun had successfully escaped, Zhao Taohua gave the order to the snail spirit:
"Snail demon, deal with it! How dare it sabotage the medicinal herb fields in my Zhao Family Village? It's asking for trouble!"
After the grub monster saw the snail spirit emerge from its shell, it frantically rubbed its two rows of sharp mandibles together, and its huge compound eyes were full of danger.
Another spirit has appeared in its territory?
The grub monster's enormous body wriggled rapidly as it charged toward the snail spirit. Its muscles rippled rhythmically beneath its skin, leaving deep marks on the ground wherever it passed, exuding a powerful sense of strength.
The villagers, who were looking timidly into the cave, were all trembling with fear!
Although the snail spirit that Zhao Taohua threw down looked about the same size as the grub monster, compared to the grub monster's fierce appearance, the snail spirit seemed rather weak.
The snail spirit looks too weak.
The village chief was somewhat worried and suggested:
"Peach Blossom, you should handle this yourself. This snail spirit has already done its best to rescue the Sun family..."
Other villagers thought the same thing.
However, before the village chief could finish speaking, the snail spirit's antennae suddenly grew as long as whips, lashing at the grub monster again and again.
"Clap! Clap! Clap..."
The snail spirit's tentacles lashed down with a whooshing sound. The grub monster was about to use its three pairs of thoracic legs to defend itself, but the tentacles precisely bypassed its defenses and struck its back.
The grubs were in so much pain that they squeaked and cried out!
Furthermore, the snail spirit has four tentacles, and it can precisely control all four tentacles to whip the grub monster until it is completely powerless to fight back.
The crowd watched as the enormous grub monster was whipped and writhed in agony on the ground by the snail spirit, until its body shrank smaller and smaller with each beating.
His once-obese body gradually became empty, leaving only a loose, flabby shell.
Only then did everyone dare to get a little closer to the cave entrance and take a look at the incredibly weak grub monster below.
Zhao Taohua stood at the cave entrance, her hands forming a hand seal. Using spiritual energy as a blade, she dissected the grub monster's body and extracted its inner core.
The dark gray inner core emitted a faint luster, like a gray pearl.
Everyone looked at Zhao Taohua with admiration, both shocked and curious about what she was going to do with the thing she took out of the grub monster.
"Eat it!" Zhao Taohua said to the snail spirit below.
The snail spirit opened its mouth in surprise. Although the grub monster had only been cultivating for a few decades, its inner core was still a valuable item.
The snail spirit swallowed it without hesitation, and in an instant, its body emitted a pale yellow light, which was then filled with brown and golden light.
Finally, amidst a sea of brilliance, a handsome young man with striking features and bright eyes emerged.
His hair was tied up high, with a hairpin inserted at an angle.
What's most eye-catching is the huge snail shell on his back.
A look of surprise flashed across Zhao Taohua's eyes, then she smiled and said, "The snail spirit has transformed into human form!"
Meanwhile, some villagers were pleasantly surprised to find that the dense swarms of pests on the herbs had disappeared!
"Not a single one left!"
"Forget about aphids and spider mites, they're all gone!"
"It's true! Peach Blossom is amazing! Now our herbs are saved!"
The villagers were overjoyed.
Everyone invested a lot of money in planting medicinal herbs, especially Old Lady Sun, who spent more than four taels of silver. If the herbs were damaged by pests, the Zhao family's old house would be doomed.
Grandma Sun immediately squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, the pests were gone.
Overjoyed, she cried, "This is wonderful! The herbs can be saved!"
She quickly ran to Zhao Taohua, smiling as she thanked her:
"Peach Blossom, you are truly our family's lucky star. If it weren't for you, Grandma's twenty-three acres of medicinal herbs, which she had invested so much in, would have been ruined."
