51 Evolved Tapeworm (1/2)

---

”How did a Mutated Tapeworm ended up here!?”

It was Bradley who exclaimed. His voice was loud enough to draw the attention of the people inside and as they saw the monstrosity inside the ceremonial waters, they couldn't help but to draw in a cold breath of air.

There was no mistaking about it's appearance and it's ridiculous reproductive ability. It truly is a Mutated Tapeworms.

Tapeworms belong in a parasitic tree of the dangers outside. They are inherently camouflaged which means that it could infect basically anyone that carelessly made contact with it. The tapeworms will attach itself to a host and penetrate their stomach, there they would descend towards the intestines and tax the food it's host takes in. It will the lay eggs to further infect the body of the host until it grow up to the point of bursting out of the host's body.

By this time, the tapeworms will have a minimal chances of mutating, and if they did it will transform their bodies to a stronger form which could exist in an extended period of time without a host or if they find an energy filled water source, they could similarly survive there. Either way, the cycle continues and the infection rises.

”How could this be…” Korra felt despair, he truly couldn't believe at what he was seeing right now. He madly searched for him brain about the possible ways to infect that ceremonial waters but nothing come to him mind.

First of all, the mutated tapeworms would only survive if they are inside of a human or on energy filled water source. The moment they are deprived of that, they die. Korra can't fathom why this thing is alive even though majority of the time, the place is on shut down. Second, how is it possible for Mutated Tapeworms to be this huge? It would take at least three humans holding each other's hands to completely wrap around it's body and it's at least 23-25 meters long! How long had this thing been in here? And to think that they were completely oblivious about it's existence really drove his mind insane.

”This is no Mutated Tapeworm.” Raven's voice echoed beside them. The two looked over to him seemingly asking what he meant. ”It's impossible for Mutated Tapeworms to exist in the ceremonial waters. That is an Evolved Tapeworm, it's eggs are the mutated once, but given time those too will evolve.”

By now, people started to gather around them forming a small crowd. All of them looked closer and felt an incredible disgust towards the massive tapeworm.

The bad news wasn't received well as it made their faces uglier. Knowing that this is no mere mutation but rather an evolution just completely made the situation even worse. Then only real difference between a Mutated Tapeworm versus an Evolved Tapeworm, is that Evolved Tapeworms had a fighting prowess and the Mutated ones doesn't.

Now everyone was worried. Eliminating this thing is going to be extremely challenging. If they trespass the waters with killing intent, the worm would retaliate, and that could result in few scenarios.

One is that they kill it but the ceremonial waters would be contaminated by it's blood, two is they attempt a battle of attrition but the tapeworm might choose to blow itself up, destroying the whole place in the process. Three, they could try to bait it out of the waters but as if that would work. And finally, they could leave it alone but that surely isn't a way.

”The reason why the last few batches of people who went here suffered is because they were infected by this huge parasite. It won't be hard to treat them, just tell them that they have to boil three Green Jasmine Leaves along with honey, instruct them to drink it and wait until stomach rumbles, they will know what to do after that. As for this fucker. I just happen to have the best idea to get rid of it.”

Raven's words were like a ray light shining upon the people around him. Their attention were immediately gathered towards him and those were looks of expectations and anticipations.

”Anyone who could wield the Lightning Element, step forward and help out.”

As soon as he said his piece, numerous people step forwards bravely, Raven inspected them one by one and nodded. The people with higher cultivations were ordered to stand on top of the totems while the rest faced the invisible walls and held their hands in front of them.

”Is there anything I could do to help young friend?”
