Allen maliciously used his index finger to crush the Black Shell Bug.
The bug turned into a puddle of green fluid and fragments at his fingertips without any resistance, which made Allen feel slightly better.
His heavy heart relaxed for a moment, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily began to slowly lift.
However, before his smile could fully bloom, it suddenly froze on his face. His pupils contracted sharply like needlepoints, his eyes widening.
He saw, from the crushed Black Shell Bug, various tiny, sesame-sized black dots emerging like a fountain, then branching out in several directions.
In just this moment of shock, Allen couldn't continue moving, and those Black Shell Bugs quickly disappeared before his eyes, making it impossible to visually track where these little creatures had gone.
Perhaps they burrowed into the grass, or perhaps into his clothes.
At the thought of this possibility, Allen immediately felt an itch begin to spread over his body.
