The little worm emerged from the ground as if it had no physical entity, crawling slowly on the asphalt road. Its movements were unhurried, not only burning away small items like shredded paper and cigarette butts on the road but also quietly scorching the road itself, leaving a charred crawling trace beneath it.
Within the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of such worms appeared, occupying most of the road in front of the Spencer couple's house. Looking around, the entire street was filled with writhing red; Gongsun Ce guessed that a similar scene might exist in front of every household at this moment.
Just ten seconds after the worms appeared, a rapid bell rang out on the street, followed by a broadcast that sounded exactly like a community committee aunt: "It's Molten Rock Worm time now, please cooperate with pest control, be careful not to get burned."
