Chapter 109 Chametipedes Curse The attack by the horde of snakes, insects, rats, and ants wasn't fatal, but the relentless bites were painful beyond words. It was not just physical pain that River Yu endured; he felt deeply humiliated. Those creatures he had summoned to tear apart the country bumpkin had turned against him instead, "Good job, country bumpkin, trickinglike that?" River Yu snarled, "What did I trick you about? You're neither a big-breasted beauty nor wealthy, what reason would I have to fool you?" Daniel replied with a dismissive tone.

"You claimed you weren't a curse master, just a rural doctor!" "I didn't lie to you! I am a rural doctor!" "A doctor? My ass! What was that back there, hm? How could you control all those snakes and vermin?" "I didn't control them! Weren't they summoned by you? Oh, right, you summoned them to bite yourself, didn't you?" "You..." River Yu was speechless with rage, unable to form a retort to Daniel's mocking words.

"Enough!" Burning with fury, River Yu was ready for his last resort. With a vast open mouth, a strange guttural noise cfrom his throat, and then, a centipede the size of an earthworm wriggled out from his mouth.

This centipede was capable of changing its body color to match its surroundings, like a chameleon. Chametipedes Curse? This was the Chametipedes Curse, and it was River Yu's most powerful curse! "Wow! Master Yu, way to go. It seems you're really livid. That Chametipedes-that's your mightiest curse, right? If I kill it, you might not die instantly, but you'll have at most a hundred days left. Within those hundred days, unless you manage to place another strong curse, once the tis up, your life is over." No sooner had Daniel finished speaking than the Chametipedes vanished from sight. To say vanished would be imprecise-it had blended in seamlessly with the ground. So perfectly did it match the colors that there was no discernible difference at all. Even the tiniest change in the ground's hue caused the Chametipedes to adapt its coloration; it could becindistinguishable from its environment.

Noticing the Chametipedes had now silently approached Daniel's feet, River Yu finally spoke, "You don't know where my Chametipedes went, do you? Actually, it's right behind you, near the heel of your shpe."

River Yu attempted to deceive Daniel to create an opening for the Chametipedes to strike Daniel knew River Yu was bluffing but decided to play along, turning his head to look behind.

Sure enough, at the moment he turned, the Chametipedes coiledhand sprang with force, larming straight for Daniel's neck-a direct threat to his life.

However, the small branch Dániel had used earlier to take care of the other centipedes was still in his hand. As the Chametipedes attacked, Daniel swiftly swung the branch, striking the predatory creature mid- leap.
