These insects were incredibly powerful. Earlier, everyone had thought it might take two hours for them to die.
No one had expected them to die in less than an hour. It seemed the stomach really was an insect's most important organ.
Every insect had been poisoned after eating Mo Qiong's Poison Sword. The instant Little A's poison touched a living creature, it would poison it. Thus, once the sword was digested, the stomach began to necrose.
The poison took effect in the stomach first. As soon as the insects came up, their vital organs began to be destroyed.
This destruction was incurable. Even their extraordinary regenerative abilities and biological manufacturing capabilities were useless.
No matter how many cells they produced, they would all die within three hours. Within one hour, one-third would inevitably be "dead."
That was precisely why Incurable Poison was incurable. It killed biological cells in equal proportions. An ant's biological tissues would collapse into inorganic matter after three hours, and an elephant's would do the same.
Any biological matter that subsequently grew or multiplied would also fall within the scope of this proportional killing.
Even Wolverine would be doomed.
Unless it possessed some means of self-preservation—and these insects clearly did not.
"The insect swarm is beginning to collapse on a massive scale..." Luo Yan said excitedly.
Their biological forms were collapsing.
The earliest batch of insects began dying one after another. The insects still active on the battlefield were also nearly finished. They were strong on the outside but hollow within, their insides already rotted into a mess.
"It's over..." Mo Qiong suddenly said.
Master Gou hurriedly looked toward Mo Qiong and saw that only a few thousand of the hundred thousand swords suspended above his head remained.
"Why did you stop? Keep going!" Master Gou said.
