281: Earthworm King

As a fleshy worm just popped out of a tunnel, several swords struck its body.

With a few muffled thuds, only a few shallow wounds appeared on the worm's body.

"Pfft!"

The enraged worm's body suddenly swelled, then it opened its mouth and spewed out a large mouthful of deep blue liquid.

Ah!

As if splashed by concentrated sulfuric acid, the flesh and blood of the Evolutionaries who were hit rapidly melted away, emitting screams of agony.

The worm was quickly killed by the combined efforts of everyone, but those Evolutionaries had already slumped to the ground, likely beyond saving.

More and more Drill Worms burrowed in, and human casualties continuously expanded.

Qin Shilei once again split a Claw Beast in half with a single sword, then flew into the air.

Standing in mid-air, he surveyed his surroundings and found the situation was even worse than he had imagined.

In these short few minutes, two to three thousand people had already been killed by the worms, and this number was still increasing.

He and An Qian, and even Sect Leader Feng Yuxin and more than ten other top experts, could tightly guard one passage.

However, there were too many wormhole exits, and Qin Shilei was stretched thin, unable to attend to all of them.

The worms that burrowed in were mainly Bronze Realm, interspersed with Silver Realm worms.

Once a high-level Silver Realm worm appeared, it would cause significant casualties in the surrounding area.

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Which of you are Tan Anguo, Sect Leader Feng Yuxin, or Wen Zhiyuan?"

Sect Leader Feng Yuxin and Wen Zhiyuan immediately disengaged from the battle, looked up, and replied, "I am Sect Leader Feng Yuxin." "I am Wen Zhiyuan."

Tan Anguo also stepped forward, protected by his subordinates, and replied, "I am Tan Anguo, may I ask, Mr. Qin, what brilliant plan you have for this?"

Qin Shilei quickly said, "My wife and I will go outside the city to block those worms. You send people into the wormholes to kill the Drill Worms inside and completely seal off the passages they've made."

"You want to go outside the city?"

The three of them looked surprised, their faces showing expressions of doubt.

The area outside the city was now packed with worms, to the point where there might not even be a place to land.

Even if thousands of people were to exit the city one by one, they would instantly be torn to shreds by the worms and eaten until not even a speck remained.

Yet Qin Shilei was now saying that two of them would block the worms from the other end of the wormhole, preventing them from burrowing into the city again through the tunnels.

Was this a joke?

They knew Qin Shilei was very strong, but in the face of absolute numbers, no matter how strong one's ability, they would be overwhelmed by the massive number of worms, eventually exhausting themselves and dying, right?

Qin Shilei showed no intention of explaining, and spoke again, "Killing the Drill Worms in the tunnels and sealing the tunnels, you don't have a problem with that, do you?"

"If you can truly prevent the worms outside the city from entering the tunnels again, then these two points you mentioned, we can definitely accomplish them," Wen Zhiyuan replied with certainty.

"An Qian, let's go."

Qin Shilei called out to An Qian below and then took the lead, flying out of the city.

An Qian followed closely behind, also flying out.

Upon arriving above the entrance of a tunnel, Qin Shilei waved his hand and summoned King Kong.

Boom!

Like a meteor striking Earth, the massive King Kong crashed heavily onto the ground.

It not only shook to death and flattened all the worms within a ten-meter radius but also completely collapsed that tunnel entrance.

"King Kong, find these entrances and collapse all of them for me."

After instructing King Kong, Qin Shilei flew towards another entrance.

Devouring Thunder!

He first used his ultimate skill to clear the worms within a hundred-meter radius, then summoned Tank.

Ground Stomp!

Tank raised his legs high, then easily collapsed the entrance.

Qin Shilei then put away Tank and flew towards the next entrance.

While ultimate skills were convenient for clearing small monsters, they consumed too much.

After unleashing two Devouring Thunders, Qin Shilei switched to using Thunderbolt Thrust to clear the worms.

In this manner, one person and one pet quickly collapsed more than ten entrances.

However, Tank was also exhausted and could no longer perform Ground Stomp.

In fact, Qin Shilei could also easily collapse the entrances after transforming into a small giant, but he couldn't fly after gigantification.

"You wouldn't be unable to deal with these tunnels just because I'm not an Earth-Type Ability User, would you?"

Qin Shilei's heart hardened, and he raised the Giant Que Sword high.

The Yuan Qi in his body surged madly into the Giant Que Sword, and a sword energy nearly ten meters long shot out from the tip of the Giant Que Sword.

"Collapse for me!"

Qin Shilei chopped down with force, and the sharp sword energy fiercely struck down.

Boom!

A crack several meters deep appeared on the ground.

As for the tunnel entrance, it had long since been split open and covered.

"Too much force."

Qin Shilei murmured softly, then flew towards another entrance.

Outside the city, two people and one beast moved as if in an uninhabited land, continuously destroying the tunnel entrances.

This scene also deeply shocked everyone standing on the city wall.

"Can that heavenly lightning, that phoenix firebird, truly be possessed by humans?"

"Countless worms turned to ash with a single strike, it's truly enviable."

"I also wish I had a pet like King Kong; holding it to sleep at night would surely feel very safe."

"Aren't you afraid it would flatten you with a single roll?"

"Is this the strongest being on our Blue Star? Truly too strong."

"We kill worms with trepidation, but this couple kills worms in piles. The worms can't even touch their clothes."

They were all amazed by Qin Shilei and An Qian's strength, but they were even more infatuated with King Kong's brutality.

King Kong, holding his staff, was like an invincible God of War; with one swing of his staff, countless worms' bones shattered, instantly killing them.

Raising his staff and chopping down, a crack several meters deep appeared on the ground.

The worms directly became meat paste, mixed with the soil, leaving no complete corpses.

With every move, King Kong struck fear into the surrounding worms, who even showed faint signs of retreating.

"If I also had such a pet, how vast is Blue Star? Where could I not go?"

This was a thought that arose in countless people's hearts.

One by one, the tunnel entrances were collapsed and sealed by Qin Shilei and his companions.

Sect Leader Feng Yuxin and his team also took the opportunity to annihilate the worms inside the tunnels.

Using various methods, they completely destroyed and sealed the tunnels.

As for the Drill Worms inside the tunnels, Sect Leader Feng Yuxin and his team personally led the search for them, killing them one by one.

Qin Shilei came to An Qian's side, "Let's go back."

Just as the two were about to fly into the air, the ground suddenly shook, as if a magnitude five or six earthquake had occurred.

"Something is coming from underground, let's fly up into the sky first."

Qin Shilei immediately pulled An Qian and flew vertically upwards.

Boom!

The spot where they had just stood suddenly exploded, and a gaping maw full of sharp teeth shot out like lightning, trying to bite the two of them.

The gaping maw was incredibly fast, and it was about to bite Qin Shilei and An Qian.

Qin Shilei suddenly accelerated, pulling An Qian up more than ten meters instantly, escaping the giant maw's bite.

Looking down, he saw that it was an incredibly huge Drill Worm.

This Drill Worm was grayish-brown all over, two to three meters thick, and the part of its body that had emerged from the ground was already twenty to thirty meters long; as for the part still underground, its length was unknown.
