Chapter 78

"You little brat, you're courting death—"

Several voices of the Black Blood Devouring Worms sounded in anger. A faint, eerie smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth. He knew that the physical bodies of these black worms were extremely tough, and ordinary combat techniques could not harm them in the slightest. Now, Xiao Yan was at the peak of the mid-stage one-star Dou Di, and facing the Black Blood Devouring Worms, whose strength was two levels higher than his, his chances of victory were virtually non-existent.

Long Yi's figure reappeared. Now, Long Yi's physical body could match the Black Blood Devouring Worms. Long Yi's involvement undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to this battle.

Long Yi looked at the surrounding, large, black Black Blood Devouring Worms with a cold expression. He shook his hand, and a golden spear appeared—Long Yi had begun to gradually master his own power and could now materialize his own weapons.

Facing the Black Blood Devouring Worms, Long Yi showed no fear. He could sense that although the Black Blood Devouring Worms were stronger than him, their physical bodies were not as robust as his. This way, the gap between them was not so great.

The Black Blood Devouring Worms were slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of Long Yi. They sensed that Long Yi's strength was higher than Xiao Yan's. In fact, if Xiao Yan used a mental-level combat technique, his strength would be on par with Long Yi's.

The surrounding worms gathered more and more, and Xiao Yan let out a bitter laugh. It seemed that to reach the center, he had to pass this test. Xiao Yan's异火恒古尺 (Yi Huo Henggu Chi, Ancient Flame Ruler) was thrust heavily into the ground, causing cracks to spread like a spider web. A powerful aura swirled around Xiao Yan, and he pulled out the giant ruler, swinging it with all his might at the incoming Black Blood Devouring Worms.

"To take my life, you're not good enough—"

The large ruler in Xiao Yan's hand, weighing a thousand catties, sent one of the Black Blood Devouring Worms flying dozens of meters away.

A mid-stage one-star Dou Di youth actually repelled him, which was clearly hard for the Black Blood Devouring Worm to accept. After stabilizing itself, the Black Blood Devouring Worm let out a furious roar at Xiao Yan.

At this moment, snake-like beasts as numerous as ants also arrived, and in an instant, they were entangled in a battle with the worm swarm. In just a short moment, countless snake-like beasts died at the outer edge of the worm swarm, and some of the stronger worms opened their blood-red mouths and swallowed the snake-like beasts whole. The worms were much larger than the snake-like beasts, so it was normal for them to swallow them.

However, the blood-colored cloud in the sky quickly approached, and wave after wave of snake-like beasts surged out from the cloud. The number of worms was far less than that of the snake-like beasts, and they could not withstand the massive consumption by the snake-like beasts. The entire worm nest would likely be turned upside down by these numerous snake-like beasts in no time.

Several Black Blood Devouring Worms raised their heads. They were very clear that their situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. If they continued to tangle with Xiao Yan here, the entire worm nest would not last much longer.
