334: King of Worms

Qin Shilei, riding Little Strong, quickly searched the skies near Changzhou City.

It wasn't until dusk that he discovered an anomaly in a dense forest about one hundred kilometers from Changzhou City.

From time to time, Silver Beetles led groups of Scythe Beetles out of the dense forest.

Qin Shilei put away Little Strong and flew directly into the dense forest.

After some searching, he finally found the Space Rift, over two meters in diameter, about five meters above the ground.

No wonder no Golden Realm insects had been discovered in Changzhou yet; it turned out the Space Rift wasn't large enough.

Qin Shilei casually killed dozens of Scythe Beetles near the Space Rift, then plunged headfirst into the Space Rift.

With a shift in space and time, he once again arrived in the Insect World.

A bone-chilling wind blew directly at him.

Before Qin Shilei could carefully observe his surroundings, countless strong winds blasted towards him from all directions.

Devouring Thunder!

As thousands of heavenly thunders descended, countless beetles were charred.

Qin Shilei waved his hand, summoning Glutton.

"Roar!"

Glutton roared, suppressing the insects further away.

Only then did Qin Shilei have time to observe his surroundings.

He was currently standing on the summit of a large mountain.

Goose feather-sized snow drifted down with the wind, covering the surrounding mountain bodies in a layer of silver.

Countless insects were crawling from the foot of the mountain towards the summit, presumably preparing to enter Blue Star through the Space Rift.

"Glutton, let's go. First, let's find a Golden Realm insect."

Qin Shilei jumped onto Glutton's back and ordered him to fly in the direction the insects came from.

After descending from the snowy mountain and flying for over an hour, they finally discovered the first Gold Beetle.

"Glutton, your little brother has come to your doorstep. Why are you still standing there like an idiot?"

Qin Shilei kicked Glutton, signaling that it was time to work.

"Master, this Gold Beetle also has another Earthworm Emperor's imprint; I can't completely control it."

Glutton replied with a wronged expression.

"Oh?" Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Have it lead us to its Earthworm Emperor."

The Gold Beetle did not resist Glutton's command and turned to lead the way forward.

After running for several hundred kilometers, Qin Shilei found the Gold Beetle too slow, so he had Little Strong pick it up and fly forward.

They flew for nearly twenty thousand kilometers, and it wasn't until the red moon hung high that they saw a mountain tens of thousands of meters tall.

"Master, this Gold Beetle says its Earthworm Emperor is in a cave in this big mountain."

Glutton said, pointing at the large mountain ahead.

Just then, a powerful oppressive aura emanated from the mountain.

Then a black shadow quickly flew out of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow flew over ten kilometers closer.

"Run for your lives!"

Qin Shilei quickly put Glutton into his pet space, mounted Little Strong, and fled in another direction.

Although he was still unclear about the opponent's strength, judging from the opponent's speed, he was probably not much weaker than the Phantom Sound Butterfly Empress he had Sealed in the battle barrier.

At this moment, he didn't have a second battle barrier that could Seal, so he could only temporarily retreat.

After Little Strong activated all his acceleration abilities, his speed was barely a hair faster than the opponent's.

However, after three minutes, the acceleration ability expired, and the distance between them began to slowly close.

Soon, the opponent was within one kilometer.

"We don't have any deep-seated hatred; do you really need to keep chasing?"

Qin Shilei cursed inwardly.

With a thought, he also put Little Strong into his pet space, then plunged into the dense forest below.

Thunder Escape!

Qin Shilei transformed into a bolt of lightning, changed direction, and fled into the distance from the dense forest.

In the blink of an eye, he had escaped ten kilometers. After his figure flashed, he immediately concealed his aura and hid in the bushes of a large tree.

Just as Qin Shilei thought he had escaped the opponent's pursuit, the feeling of being faintly Lock-On suddenly arose in his heart again.

Through the leaves, he saw a black shadow in the distance rapidly flying towards him.

"Damn it, eat my arrow!"

Qin Shilei took out the Piercing Dragon Bow, drew the bow, and nocked an arrow.

The distant energy frantically poured into the Piercing Dragon Bow.

The originally dark Piercing Dragon Bow began to emit a faint white light.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer.

Qin Shilei could finally see that the opponent was an earth-yellow worm.

Forty to fifty meters long, nearly three meters wide.

Name: Earthworm Emperor

Description: Platinum Peak, proficient in earth-elemental abilities. Its mouth has immense suction, capable of sucking enemies whole into its body.

One thousand meters.

Five hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Silver Dragon!

A silver long dragon shot towards the Earthworm Emperor like lightning.

In an instant, it arrived before the Earthworm Emperor.

The Earthworm Emperor never imagined that the anomaly it was chasing, a mere Golden Realm human, could unleash an arrow with such astonishing firing speed.

Caught off guard, it was simply unable to dodge the Silver Dragon.

An earth shield instantly formed in front of it.

Pfft!

The earth shield was instantly shattered.

The Silver Dragon, having absorbed thirty percent of Qin Shilei's primordial energy, shot into the Earthworm Emperor's wide-open mouth with an unstoppable momentum.

Whoosh!

A violent gust of wind erupted from the worm's belly.

Blown by this gust of wind, the Silver Dragon immediately shrunk by half.

But it still continued to drill into the Earthworm Emperor's belly with unwavering determination.

Pfft!

A muffled sound was heard, and a yellowish-brown light flashed on the worm's body, then it dropped straight to the ground.

????

Qin Shilei didn't expect the Piercing Dragon Bow to be so powerful, actually felling the Platinum Peak Earthworm Emperor with a single arrow.

No!

This was the effect of paralysis.

He reacted instantly.

Teleport!

Qin Shilei instantly appeared beside the rapidly falling Earthworm Emperor.

Phantom!

Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth!

One-Punch Man!

One ultimate skill, two entries, instantly cast.

Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky!

The continuously giant-sized Qin Shilei rapidly swung the Giant Que Sword in his hand around the Earthworm Emperor.

Suddenly, a thick layer of yellowish-brown armor appeared on the Earthworm Emperor's body.

Qin Shilei, at full power, had astonishing attack power. He had just cleaved off one layer of armor when the opponent grew another.

Only the seventh sword barely shattered the opponent's armor, leaving a wound several meters long and over ten centimeters deep on the opponent.

However, Qin Shilei had just paused for a moment, and after unleashing Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky, the two-second paralysis duration had already expired.

The Phantom, which had been standing by in full readiness, stabbed a sword into the wound left by Qin Shilei.

It pierced through the earth-elemental armor that had reappeared above the wound, plunging into the Earthworm Emperor's body, and paralysis took effect again.

What made Qin Shilei despair was that he and the Phantom attacked with all their might for two seconds, yet they only managed to expand the previous wound to a depth of thirty to forty centimeters.

Compared to the Earthworm Emperor's nearly three-meter wide body, this injury was hardly a serious one.

And that wound was quickly protected again by a thick layer of earth-elemental armor.

"Roar!"

After two seconds, the Earthworm Emperor finally regained its ability to move and let out an angry roar.

An even more powerful aura emanated from its body.
