282: Everyone in Bei'an is in danger

Name: Worm King

Description: Golden Six-Star, proficient in Earth-element abilities, innate burrowing talent. Weaknesses: Slightly weaker resistance to Water and Ice elements.

Qin Shilei couldn't believe he had discovered another Golden Realm exotic beast on Blue Star.

As time passed, more and more Golden Realm exotic beasts crossed over from other realms, making Blue Star's environment increasingly grim.

“Hiss!”

The Worm King hissed furiously, simultaneously summoning several giant meteorites to fall from the sky and smash into Qin Shilei and the other person.

“Roar!”

Not far away, King Kong roared, took a single stride, and arrived beside the Worm King, delivering a powerful sweep that slammed into the opponent.

As King Kong swung his staff, he mumbled something.

It sounded like he was saying, “Take a blow from this Old Sun!”

Boom!

The Worm King was struck by King Kong's staff and fell to the ground.

Its grayish-brown carapace was shattered in a large section, and trickles of blood seeped out.

Seizing the advantage, King Kong raised his King Kong Staff again and chopped down.

Boom!

Another loud bang sounded, and the earth cracked open with a deep fissure.

However, King Kong's blow missed; the Worm King's figure beneath the staff had vanished from everyone's sight at some unknown moment.

Qin Shilei, flying in mid-air, clearly saw a flash of yellow light just now, and then the Worm King disappeared.

Could this be its innate talent, burrowing?

“Watch out!”

Qin Shilei shouted loudly, simultaneously teleporting to King Kong on the ground.

A large hole suddenly appeared beneath King Kong's right foot, followed by a gaping maw that viciously bit towards King Kong's right foot.

Because his right foot suddenly stepped into empty space, losing balance instantly, King Kong had no time to react and was bitten squarely by the Worm King.

King Kong, however, showed no panic; instead, he took the opportunity to exert force and stomp down hard.

The Worm King's sharp teeth bit into King Kong's right foot, and while they could pierce King Kong's skin, they failed to bite through King Kong's hard bones as desired.

Instead, King Kong took the opportunity to stomp squarely on it, nearly breaking its teeth.

A cold light flashed as Qin Shilei, who had teleported over, thrust his sword towards the edge of the Worm King's mouth.

Just as the Giant Que Sword was about to strike the opponent, the yellow light that had just appeared flashed again.

The Worm King's figure once again vanished from his sight.

“What a cunning Worm King, if it misses a strike, it immediately burrows away.”

Qin Shilei could only fly into the air again, carefully observing the surrounding ground.

King Kong, whose right foot was bitten, furiously swung his King Kong Staff, wildly striking the surrounding ground.

The ground cracked, and dust billowed.

“King Kong, return to the pet space first.”

Such chaotic attacks were utterly useless, so Qin Shilei had no choice but to recall King Kong.

For a long while, the Worm King did not reappear.

“Shi Lei, if this worm doesn't come out, we can't do anything to it,” An Qian said as she flew beside Qin Shilei.

“Hmm.” Qin Shilei then asked, “An Qian, do you want to take this Drill Worm as a pet?”

An Qian shook her head, “No, it's too ugly.”

Qin Shilei's face was covered in black lines.

He actually thought this worm was quite good; not only was its strength decent, but it could also burrow. However, since his wife disliked it, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

As the two spoke, they suddenly heard screams coming from inside the city.

“Let's go.”

The two immediately turned and flew towards the city.

Crossing over the city wall, they looked down.

The Worm King from earlier was wantonly slaughtering humans below.

Thunder Escape!

The Worm King had just swallowed an Evolution, when it suddenly felt something, looked up, and a bolt of lightning shot towards it at high speed.

Before it could react, it found that the lightning bolt had already arrived close by.

Then it felt a pain in its body, and its entire body seemed to be under a paralysis spell, unable to move a single inch.

One-Punch Man!

Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky!

Qin Shilei, in his strongest un-transformed state, continuously attacked the Worm King.

Soaring sword energy savagely cut and cleaved at the Worm King's body.

Purple blood splattered like a gushing spring.

However, the defense of the Golden Six-Star Worm King was truly astonishing.

Furthermore, after Qin Shilei advanced to the Golden Realm, the amplification of One-Punch Man had become only five times.

Although Qin Shilei, unleashing his full power, inflicted a large amount of damage on the opponent, he failed to kill it in one blow.

Two seconds later, the Worm King, having been hit by two consecutive Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky attacks, was almost split in half.

Believing the situation was settled, Qin Shilei was preparing to use another combat skill to finish off the opponent completely.

To his surprise, a yellow light suddenly emanated from the dying Worm King.

Before Qin Shilei could summon a phantom to restrain the opponent again, his vision blurred, and the opponent's figure was gone.

“Holy crap!”

Qin Shilei couldn't help but curse.

He couldn't believe the opponent had managed to escape even like that.

Earth Escape truly was a divine skill, not only swift in activation but also vanishing without a trace.

The opponent's escape was also due to Qin Shilei underestimating its strength and not summoning a phantom to help restrain it.

But now that the opponent had escaped, it was too late to say anything.

“Where's that big worm?” Wen Zhiyuan stepped forward, asking with lingering fear.

“It ran away,” Qin Shilei replied simply.

“Without any warning, how did it escape? I didn't even see it burrow into the ground.”

Wen Zhiyuan looked around but didn't find any burrow left by the Drill Worm's departure.

Qin Shilei explained, “It has a unique burrowing technique; it can pass directly through the earth without actually digging.”

Sect Leader Feng Yuxin also approached and asked, “Mr. Qin, you've fought it. How strong is this worm?”

Qin Shilei did not hide anything, “Golden Six-Star, proficient in Earth-element abilities, has a burrowing unique skill, and is relatively afraid of Water and Ice element attacks.”

The hearts of the surrounding people immediately sank, and their faces became grim.

They had seen the Worm King slaughtering Evolutions earlier and knew it was formidable, but they hadn't expected it to be a powerful Golden Six-Star exotic beast.

Moreover, this exotic beast could burrow, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. Anyone targeted by it would likely face certain death.

“That worm came out from underground! Let's quickly go upstairs or to the city wall!” Someone suddenly shouted.

Instantly, the Evolutions below the city disappeared, either climbing onto the city wall or rushing into nearby buildings.

Wen Zhiyuan and Sect Leader Feng Yuxin also wanted to run, but seeing that Qin Shilei hadn't moved, they couldn't bring themselves to leave.

Tan Anguo spoke to comfort them, “I think that worm was severely wounded by Mr. Qin, so it probably won't cause trouble again for a while. Everyone doesn't need to panic too much.”

Qin Shilei saw that some were still somewhat panicked, but he just smiled and turned to go outside the city again, killing worms.

He guessed that the worm would hide to heal its injuries.

Unexpectedly, around 5 PM, the opponent's figure suddenly appeared in the city.

In a densely populated residential area, the Worm King suddenly emerged from underground, instantly swallowing seven or eight people and killing dozens, then silently disappeared.

From its appearance to its disappearance, it was only a short period of less than ten seconds.

Then, its figure was discovered in several other places in the city.

It always came and went in a hurry, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

The news that a Golden Six-Star Worm King had arrived underground in Beian City spread rapidly.

For a time, everyone in Beian City felt unsafe, and they all moved away from the ground, running to higher buildings.
