Chapter 199: Chapter 137: The Princess of the Ice Country (4)_2

Although there was not a single speck of light here, the darkness could not affect Qin Chu’s vision, and he could clearly see the environment he was in. The entire cave was about ten meters high, surrounded by jagged rocks, and he could see numerous tunnel openings in all directions leading to unknown destinations intricately intertwined, resembling a vascular structure in a human body, with an eerie, stinking odor permeating the air.

Huge worms, about three meters long and fifty centimeters in diameter, were constantly wriggling on the ground, mountain walls, and overhead. Their appearance bore some resemblance to the Illusion Demon, and their bodies were covered with dense fur, including numerous soft, wriggling limbs on their abdomens.

Apparently due to being overly plump and fat, rings of protrusions would appear on their bodies as they moved.

The front end of their bodies was not a mouth, but a cluster of wriggling tentacles similar to those of an octopus, with the insides of the tentacles covered in dense, hard spines.

In the middle of the dense tentacles, there was also an oval tubular structure that could spray highly corrosive acid.

The spines on their tentacles and the acid allowed them to easily burrow through hard boulders, and almost all the interlaced holes in every demon’s nest were their handiwork.

Burrowing worms!

This was the name given to these demons by humans.

Their strength was not very formidable, being only around Level 30 on average. However, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.

Everywhere Qin Chu looked, the landscape was dominated by the presence of burrowing worms, their ugly, disgusting appearance having no impact on him. In Qin Chu’s eyes, they were merely piles of small experience packs.

"Well, then, devour..."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu’s face lit up with a smile, and he spread his arms as numerous slender, elongated, translucent tentacles that resembled a slime sprang from his body, stretching rapidly towards all directions.

As soon as the strange tentacles wrapped around a burrowing worm, the effect of the Devourer immediately began to take effect, and within less than two seconds, the strength of the burrowing worm was completely drained by Qin Chu, its body rapidly shriveled and fell to the ground, shattering into powder.

In a short amount of time, the surrounding area was cleared. Seeing the burrowing worms still sluggishly moving towards him, Qin Chu couldn’t wait for these creatures to get closer. He took the initiative to move forward, leaving only withered corpses in his wake.

The Prince wanted to fabricate a demon breakout to push all the charges of attempting to assassinate his fiancée Antasia onto the demons.

The military camp next to Conrad was also on high alert, ready for when the nests were bombed and the seal was broken, prompting a mass emergence of demons soon to occur.

Little did anyone know that not a single demon would leave this nest, as all of them were being absorbed by Qin Chu as mere experience packs.

Although each demon brought only a small gain, the sensation of his power slowly increasing every second was utterly intoxicating to Qin Chu, and he devoured everything greedily, like a gluttonous beast.

At some undetermined point, Qin Chu’s figure had even reached the deepest part of the nest, near the entrance connected to the Abyss.

It was a massive purple-black void that led to an unknown world. A steady stream of demons poured from this void, and the creatures appearing here were no longer just simple burrowing worms. More and more other demons began to appear, including some quite formidable foes.

The demons on the other side of the entrance seemed to have sensed the destruction of the nest’s seal, and a swarm of them rushed out, eager to wreak havoc in the outside world; however, what awaited them was nothing but destruction.

Even those powerful demons that had just appeared were heavily injured by Catherine, Antia, and Violet before being handed over to Qin Chu as huge experience packs.

Qin Chu had no idea how many demon’s strengths he had drained, only that their corpses had filled the cave and someone had even been assigned to clear these bodies.

Bang!

A giant troll, its body towering over nine meters tall, had just poked its massive, round head out of the entrance. It hadn’t even managed to climb up from the ground when Violet’s figure crashed down from the sky like a bolt of wind.

With a dull sound, her long, beautiful legs with their delicate soles smashed heavily onto the troll’s head, deeply indenting the skull of this Level 75 powerful demon.

Unable to withstand the force of Violet’s blow, its legs snapped with a crack, and its body knelt on the ground, its mouth opening wide to emit a piercing shriek from the lumpy protrusions on its head.

The next second, the Devourer enveloped it like jelly, draining the troll’s body thoroughly and leaving only a vast mummified corpse standing at the entrance.

With the troll’s demise, the demons in the Abyss on the other side of the entrance seemed to realize there was a ferocious hunter relentlessly hunting their kind here.

The ceaseless, tide-like stream of demons abruptly came to a halt.
