383: Chapter 383 Black Poison Insect

“This area is too dangerous! Someone has already died shortly after entering!”

A young man muttered with a pale face; few people could remain calm in the face of death and danger!

“This is just the beginning; the deeper we go, the more dangerous it becomes. Even those Half-Saint Realm Prodigies might fall here. If you’re scared, leave quickly; there’s still time!”

Someone heard the young man’s words and immediately advised him!

This area was too dangerous; the best choice for survival was to leave now!

Qin Xiao, riding the Golden Lion with Phoenix Yao, followed far behind this group of people!

He carefully examined these trees and was very shocked. These trees were extraordinary, harboring strong spirituality. Although they had no medicinal properties, they were rare spiritual wood, of extraordinary value!

Especially the blood-black soil beneath his feet, which was even more remarkable; he could even sense a trace of divinity from it, which was astonishing!

“This land couldn’t have been bathed in divine blood, stained red by it, could it?!”

Qin Xiao muttered in his heart; this forest was too mysterious. He wondered if it was man-made or naturally formed by heaven and earth?

“Bang!”

Just as Qin Xiao was pondering, some of the people at the very front were attacked again!

A creature resembling a centipede, a hundred feet long, with a blood-red carapace and a thousand long legs, broke through the soil.

Its scythe-like mouth bit a young Prodigy in half!

A shrill scream echoed, and blood splattered across the ground!

The creature lifted its two tentacles, brought the two halves of the corpse to its mouth, chewed a couple of times, and then swallowed!

Immediately after, its gaze turned to the group of Prodigies in front of it, its eyes filled with greed!

“It’s a Thousand-Foot Bloodworm, run!”

A young man in black, upon seeing the creature clearly, immediately cried out in alarm, his eyes filled with fear!

The Thousand-Foot Bloodworm is a type of exotic insect in the Flesh and Blood Forest. It is extremely aggressive, very bloodthirsty, and its entire body possesses potent venom. A single touch is fatal to a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator, making it terrifying!

The Thousand-Foot Bloodworm, seeing its prey about to flee, immediately gave chase.

“Die, beast!”

A young man unleashed a Heaven-Grade spiritual weapon, which struck the Thousand-Foot Bloodworm’s carapace, emitting a metallic clang!

It left a white scratch, but the attack couldn't even break the Thousand-Foot Bloodworm's carapace!

“What, no….”

The young man was instantly terrified at this sight, only managing to let out a scream before being bitten by the Thousand-Foot Bloodworm!

He barely had time to struggle before being poisoned to death and swallowed!

“Senior, help!”

They hadn’t run far when the Thousand-Foot Bloodworm behind them caught up, having devoured four or five people in a short time!

Upon seeing the Golden Lion and the carriage, this group of people immediately cried out for help!

Seeing this, Qin Xiao extended his hand directly from the carriage and slapped forward!

The enormous Thousand-Foot Bloodworm was sent flying, its carapace shattering into pieces, revealing incredibly dark blood that reeked horribly, even corroding holes in the ground!

“So strong!”

The fleeing people, seeing this scene, immediately cried out in astonishment. They never expected that the Thousand-Foot Bloodworm, which had sent them fleeing in disarray, would be dealt with so easily. It was truly terrifying!

“Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!”

This group of people hastily bowed to the carriage, respectfully expressing their gratitude. If Qin Xiao hadn't intervened, they would have been in trouble!

“It’s a small matter, no need to be polite!”

Qin Xiao said indifferently, then gestured for the Golden Lion to lead the way, continuing deeper inside!

After advancing a little further, they were attacked again!

A swarm of pitch-black, ferocious-looking, ghost-like, thumb-sized insects swarmed towards them.

These insects were incredibly fast and carried potent venom; any creature they touched would rot and die!

They gathered in swarms, like a black cloud, attacking Qin Xiao and the others!

“Scram! Roar!”

The Golden Lion roared, its body emitting a golden radiance, then it let out a terrifying roar towards the sky, producing a horrifying sound wave!

Wherever the sound wave passed, swarms of black insects fell, forming piles of insect corpses on the ground!

However, those insects showed no fear; instead, they charged at the Golden Lion and the carriage like mad, fearless of death!

“These are Black Venomous Worms, extremely fierce and difficult to deal with as they are group creatures!”

Inside the carriage, Phoenix Yao explained to Qin Xiao, having seen this type of insect in ancient texts!

Their venom was extremely potent, capable of poisoning even Saints to death, making them very terrifying!

Boom!

Qin Xiao nodded upon hearing this, his entire Aura erupted, and a flame appeared in his hand, striking out at the dense swarm of Black Venomous Worms outside the carriage!

Screech! Screech!

Piercing screeches erupted from the insect swarm as the flames clung to their bodies, forming a cloud of fire!

Then, it quickly spread, and swaths of the insect swarm fell to the ground, a stench of burning flesh permeating the air, emitting a pungent odor!

Although Qin Xiao's attack destroyed a large portion of the insect swarm, their numbers were simply too vast. He had only killed a small fraction, and the remaining portion continued to charge at them!

“There must be an Insect King among these Black Venomous Worms. It’s controlling the swarm to attack us. As long as we find it and kill it, our crisis can be resolved!”

Phoenix Yao said gravely after hearing the crackling sounds outside the carriage!

“Mm! I know! I’ll deal with it!”

Qin Xiao waved his hand, unleashing another burst of flames, eliminating a large group of Black Venomous Worms, then his Divine Sense swept through the surroundings!

Searching for traces of the Insect King!

Soon, he found the trace of the Insect King within the swarm; it was staying far at the end of the swarm, directing the swarm's attack!

The Insect King was about the size of a fist, and its Aura was sharp and terrifying. Its black carapace even revealed faint golden edges, making it look very noble!

“Found you! Die, you bastard!”

Qin Xiao roared, took out the Soul Eating Whip, and lashed it towards the Insect King!

“Screech!”

The Insect King seemed to sense the danger and shrieked frantically, commanding the swarm to rush towards the Soul Eating Whip in groups, trying to block its attack!

But it had no effect. The Soul Eating Whip specialized in attacking the Soul, and the Souls of these insects were incredibly weak, dying upon contact, unable to stop it at all!

Bang!

A sound rang out as the Soul Eating Whip accurately struck the Black Venomous Worm King!

Immediately, the Insect King fell to the ground, its Soul dissipating, and it died instantly!
