276: The power of the humanoid ferocious beast, the Ice Silkworm

Outside the stone box, there was a small door. The material of the small door was the same as that of the massive Stone Stele.

Ye Bai tried to push the small door open, but it wouldn't budge at all. Ye Bai kicked it twice, but still couldn't kick it open.

He thought for a moment, then simply took out his Dagger, preparing to cut it down.

Just as Ye Bai was about to cut it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Oh no, there is a mechanism on this Stone Door!"

Ye Bai was instantly horrified; he immediately stepped back two paces and held his breath. At the same time, he took out his military knife for self-defense.

He stared at the Stone Door and tapped on it a few times with his Dagger. Sure enough, a faint sound of metal friction came out.

Ye Bai tapped it a few more times, and sure enough, there was movement again. Next, Ye Bai pried it a few times with his Dagger. Soon, the Stone Door was pried open, leaving a crack. Without hesitation, Ye Bai darted inside like lightning.

The inside of the Secret Chamber was pitch black, and a musty smell assailed his nostrils. It was gloomy, cold, and damp inside. Ye Bai dared not delay and quickly walked inside.

The Secret Chamber here was very spacious, but it was empty; never mind treasures, there wasn't even a ghost of a shadow to be seen.

"Could I have guessed wrong?" Ye Bai frowned and pondered to himself.

"That's impossible!" Ye Bai was unwilling to give up easily, so he continued to explore deeper inside.

The further he went inside, the gloomier and more eerie it felt. Just then, Ye Bai heard the sound of rushing water, as if something had fallen into a river.

"Could it be a river?" Ye Bai was extremely puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it and quickly ran inside.

The further in he went, the colder it felt. The temperature here was extremely low, practically reaching minus twenty degrees or more. Such an environment was truly unbearable.

When Ye Bai arrived at the place where the water was flowing, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

It was an extremely beautiful and spectacular picture; the river water surged and roared like a dancing, angry Dragon. And in the middle of the river, a lotus flower was blooming.

The lotus was as white as snow, pure and without a single trace of Impurities. After it bloomed, the whole world turned into a vast expanse of white, with only that white lotus standing proudly in the middle of the water.

The petals of the lotus were crystal clear; every petal was lifelike, just like the most perfect work of art.

Beneath that white lotus, there was a black snake coiling.

Ye Bai was stunned.

"This is the legendary Ice Silkworm! The Ice Silkworm spins silk into a web, capable of freezing a thousand miles!" Ye Bai exclaimed in amazement.

The Ice Silkworm is a rare treasure of the world. It is rumored that this Ice Silkworm spins silk to weave a peerless giant spider web. If one has achieved success in Cultivate, they can use the giant spider web to capture any prey.

And the Ice Silkworm's eggs are hailed as the most mysterious treasures under heaven; after consuming them, one can live a long life. Even if a terminal cancer patient eats one, there is a fifty percent chance of survival.

Besides that, the meat of the Ice Silkworm is tender, delicious, and rich in nutrition.

"Damn, to think I would run into such a young Ice Silkworm beast. Hahaha..." Ye Bai suddenly realized he had hit the jackpot.

At this moment, the Ice Silkworm seemed to sense that someone had intruded. Thus, it raised its head and looked at Ye Bai with an icy gaze.

"Goodness, it really has become a spirit!" Ye Bai looked at the Ice Silkworm with a smile; he was not in a hurry to make a move. He knew that his strength could not compare to the Ice Silkworm, and if he were to act rashly, he feared it would be a one-way trip.

The Ice Silkworm stared coldly at Ye Bai, seemingly judging Ye Bai's threat level. After a while, the Ice Silkworm slowly shifted its position and swam to the side. It clearly disdained dealing with Ye Bai, this insignificant human.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly chased after it. The swimming speed of this Ice Silkworm was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it drilled into the riverbed.

Ye Bai followed closely behind and dove down along the riverbed. Soon, Ye Bai arrived near the Ice Silkworm.

The speed of the Ice Silkworm was getting slower and slower; it had reached its limit of endurance.

And all around it was solid ice. Ye Bai knew that although these blocks of solid ice looked ordinary, they contained deadly poison. If he was not careful, he would be frostbitten.

Ye Bai stood on the ice cave and carefully examined the Ice Silkworm several times. Suddenly, he saw that there was a sword mark on the Ice Silkworm's belly. The sword mark was very deep.

"What a sharp sword!" Ye Bai gasped. The skin of this Ice Silkworm was extremely tough, like a wall of bronze and iron. Yet, someone was actually able to pierce the Ice Silkworm's skin. What kind of freak was that?

The Ice Silkworm seemed to sense Ye Bai's presence, and it was extremely furious. Suddenly, it twisted its massive body, bringing up a mass of ice shards, and swept toward Ye Bai.

"Damn it, you beast, you even know how to attack?" Ye Bai roared. At the same time, he leaped and dodged it.

Bang! The Ice Silkworm's tail swept over. Its speed was too fast, faster than Ye Bai could imagine. Just as Ye Bai jumped away, the Ice Silkworm's tail smashed fiercely against the wall. In an instant, the thick wall actually cracked open.

The Ice Silkworm launched another attack, and Ye Bai dodged left and right, in a sorry state. This guy was simply a Humanoid Vicious Beast! And it was the kind that couldn't be killed or broken. Ye Bai was depressed to the extreme, but at the same time, his heart was filled with even more desire.

If he could catch such an Ice Silkworm and consume it, he would definitely benefit infinitely.

Ye Bai fought with this Ice Silkworm for a long time, but he still couldn't do anything about it.

"Damn it, are we just going to leave it at that?" Ye Bai was frustrated in his heart.

Just at this moment, the Ice Silkworm suddenly stopped attacking.

"Huh, something is not right!" Ye Bai immediately became vigilant and quietly circled around to the Ice Silkworm's back from the other side.

The Ice Silkworm's belly was extremely soft, but it had a huge space.

At that moment, Ye Bai took out his Dagger. He came to the back of the Ice Silkworm silently.

Ye Bai held his breath and focused; he prepared to stab the Dagger in and then use a rope to snare this beast.

Ye Bai was already prepared, waiting for a single strike to succeed. The Ice Silkworm suddenly opened its eyes; its pupils were blood-red, flashing with terrifying light. Ye Bai was horrified when he saw this.

Just then, the Ice Silkworm opened its mouth and sprayed out a blue liquid.

"Damn it!" Ye Bai was startled and hurriedly dodged away. As soon as he dodged, he heard a squelching sound, and he stepped on and crushed a stone slab under his feet.

Ye Bai narrowly avoided the blue liquid sprayed by the Ice Silkworm, feeling a wave of lingering fear in his heart. He knew that this Ice Silkworm was by no means a gentle creature; if he was not careful, he might lose his life here.

At this time, the Live Stream Room team outside the cave was nervously watching Ye Bai's every move. The audience in the Live Stream Room was also attracted by this thrilling scene, and bullet comments flooded the screen.

"Wow, this Ice Silkworm is too powerful! Boss Ye must be careful!"

"Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi must be worried to death; I hope Ye Bai returns safely."
