104 Chapter 104, the giant earthworm!
Yang Tian didn’t mind seeing the two Xu sisters off for six or seven days. It was a good thing, and he would never mind doing good deeds.
After leaving the terminal, Yang Tian left Black Rock City. He was too unfamiliar with this city and didn’t want to stay here any longer.
After leaving Black Rock City, Yang Tian met up with the little unicorn and the little azure dragon and continued to move forward.
In the past twenty days, he hadn’t even covered one-tenth of the distance. He still had to hunt some high-level exotic beasts to raise his cultivation. He wouldn’t be able to reach Hero City in a year’s time. He had to speed up.
Yang Tian took out the map and looked at it, thinking to himself.
Five days later.
Yang Tian had already arrived at the red circle marked on the map.
This was the territory of a level-eight exotic beast. As for what kind of exotic beast it was, the map didn’t specify.
High-level exotic beasts were very smart. They could only stay in a place for one or two years at most. Other than the excellent geographical conditions, which could ensure secrecy and the source of food, they would only stay there. Therefore, the map that elder Qin gave to Yang Tian was updated. It wasn’t a map that had existed several years ago.
A level-nine warrior was too mysterious! They seem to know more information than others… Yang Tian looked at the dense jungle in front of him and thought to himself.
The terrain of Black Rock City was flat. There were no mountains. If high-level exotic beasts wanted to hide themselves, they would most likely dig a hole in the jungle and hide deep underground… even powerful exotic beasts had to adapt to the environment.
The Little Azure Dragon had already gone to investigate, and Yang Tian was waiting for news.
What kind of exotic beast was it?
Yang Tian guessed curiously.
After the little azure dragon left for about half an hour, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the dense forest in front of them. Subsequently, the ground began to tremble as well.
What a powerful momentum!
Yang Tian’s eyes widened. He knew that this exotic beast must be a big fellow. It was very big!
“Squeak squeak…”
A few minutes later, the little azure dragon returned and kept calling out to Yang Tian.
“It’s a very big exotic beast. Very, very big…”
This was the first time the little azure dragon had said that the exotic beast was very big.
This was because after the little azure dragon transformed, it was also a colossus. The ‘Big’it spoke of was not an ordinary colossus.
“Let’s Go! Let’s go take a look! You stay here and look after my things,”Yang Tian said as he patted the Little Unicorn’s head.
The little unicorn nodded.
Yang Tian held his saber, and under the guidance of the Little Azure Dragon, he advanced at high speed towards the forest ahead.
They were only a few kilometers away, and soon reached the edge of the forest.
At this time, the ground had already calmed down. It no longer trembled, and returned to its usual tranquility. However, those low-level exotic beasts in the forest had all rushed out in groups from the forest. They looked very panicked, obviously frightened.
Yang Tian didn’t even have the interest to attack these low-level exotic beasts, such as the Green Python, the black-backed wolf, and the silver-light leopard. When these low-level exotic beasts saw Yang Tian, they also took a detour.
“Squeak!”
The Little Azure Dragon cried out excitedly at this time, accelerating its speed.
“Peng!”
Yang Tian stood on the ground and jumped up. Only by bouncing between the trees could he catch up with the Little Azure Dragon.
Soon, the little azure dragon brought Yang Tian to the entrance of a cave that was twenty meters in diameter.
The high-level exotic beasts here were indeed hiding underground. Yang Tian took out a flashlight from his waist and shone it at the cave.
The walls of the cave were very smooth and deep. The edges seemed to have been squeezed out, and they were from the inside out. There were rings of protruding sand surrounding the entrance of the cave. The layers were clear, and each ring was higher than the previous one.
Obviously, the exotic beast hiding underground was growing continuously.
How should he go down?
Yang Tian frowned. He didn’t carry such a long rope with him.
“Squeak Squeak!”
At this moment, the Little Azure Dragon cried out twice again, and rushed down the cave wall like lightning.
The Little Azure Dragon planned to lure the exotic beasts out from below!
When the Little Azure Dragon went deep into the cave, Yang Tian squatted down and touched the black soil on the cave wall with his hand. He found that there was a kind of liquid mixed in the soil. He sniffed it again, and there was a faint fishy smell.
Yang Tian became even more curious about the exotic beasts under the cave.
A few minutes later, the ground shook again, making a rumbling sound, as if an earthquake had happened. Yang Tian didn’t feel it when he was far away just now, but now, the shaking of the ground made him stagger.
Yang Tian’s legs pressed down, and his center of gravity sank. Only then did he stabilize his body.
“Hu!”
At this moment, the sound of wind could be heard, and a violent air current rushed out from the cave. In this strong air current, there was a rotten smell, and it was very unpleasant to smell.
“Squeak Squeak!”
At this moment, a green shadow flashed, and the Little Azure Dragon rushed out from the cave. It jumped onto Yang Tian’s shoulder and cried out excitedly.
As soon as the little azure dragon came out, the exotic beast in the cave finally rushed out of the cave.
A fleshy beard?
No!
What appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes was a scarlet, soft thing covered in fine armor. Its diameter was more than twenty meters, the same as the diameter of the cave.
As soon as the exotic beast appeared, its thick and strong body continuously surged out. After it emerged more than thirty meters out of the cave, it suddenly smacked toward Yang Tian.
Yang Tian stomped his feet on the ground and dodged.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the exotic Beast’s body slammed into the ground, directly breaking a few large trees that were as thick as a man’s waist. It created a groove that was several meters deep and more than two meters long on the ground.
At this moment, the exotic beast’s body was still surging out continuously..
A few minutes later, the exotic beast finally appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes.
It was actually a huge… earthworm!
That’s right! It was an earthworm!
Yang Tian had seen such a mollusk by the ditch beside the city gate when he was young. Logically speaking, an earthworm shouldn’t have mutated into a exotic beast!
But now, such a huge earthworm had appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes. Its body was more than twenty meters in diameter and hundreds of meters in length. After coming out of the cave, it coiled together like a mountain of meat.
When the earthworm came out, Yang Tian kept retreating. He retreated about 50 meters from the hole before he stopped.
How should he kill it?
Yang Tian looked at the huge earthworm and felt helpless.
Because the vitality of the earthworm was extremely strong. Even if it was cut into pieces, it could still survive and turn into several earthworms. Needless to say, this level-eight earthworm most likely also possessed this ability. One had to know that the YS virus caused mutations in exotic beasts, and also strengthened the abilities of the beasts themselves. At the same time, it also added new abilities to others.
While Yang Tian was thinking, the earthworm opened its soft mouth and suddenly closed in on Yang Tian.
