Chapter 866: Rope Worm

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Rope Worm

Su Liyan was no longer relaxed and said solemnly, "We’re in big trouble now."

"What’s the problem?"

"These aren’t Gu worms!"

Su Liyan stood up and took a small porcelain bottle from her pocket. She took a tiny bit of powder out with her pinky, and when she sprinkled it over the head of the worm, it quickly emitted a chilling "sizzle—".

"If they aren’t Gu worms, what are they?"

"They?" Su Liyan slightly suppressed her voice and looked up, her pupils suddenly contracted!

At that moment, everyone involuntarily formed a circle as numerous rope-like worms had appeared all around without notice.

Their appearance was identical to the worms residing within Big Giant, some even as thick as a hundred-year-old tree!

"Sister, brother-in-law, what should we do now?"

You, holding your head, sighed, "Originally when you were outside drinking coffee and chatting, I could still think of a way to avoid them, but now with so many people, we’ll have to face them head-on."

"Face them head-on? Aren’t you joking? These creatures are terrifying, not only are they fast, but their teeth look like they could even bite through rocks!"

A young man, who admired Su Liyan, exclaimed in horror.

Seeing more and more creatures appearing, you asked the people around, "What abilities do you all have?"

Su Liyan was the first to answer, "Besides rearing Gu worms, I also possess a secret technique from the Open Gate, but using it puts a huge strain on my body, so I generally don’t use it unless absolutely necessary."

No one asked what this secret technique was, as other than you, the rest were people of Chu Sect, and they were well aware of the significance of this technique.

Hong Chuange said, "My superpower is controlling sound, which can damage the human body and also serves as a detection method."

Hong Chuange’s companion, Huang Jun, said, "My superpower is wind, but I’m still too weak right now. It’s enough for self-defense, but seems insufficient against these worms."

"My superpower is lightning," said a cool-looking girl who had been standing next to Su Liyan and was evidently responsible for her protection.

Additionally, there were another man and woman, the woman controlled ice, and the man was the young man who was in love with Su Liyan. He was also a disciple of the Open Gate Inner Sect.

"I can also activate the Open Gate secret technique, but it only lasts for three minutes."

Upon hearing this, Hong Chuange glanced specifically at him, nodded secretly, and said with a smile, "No wonder, I was wondering why your energy fluctuations were so slight and you didn’t seem to have any special skills. How could you have entered the Open Gate Inner Sect? It turns out you were personally taught by the sect master."

"Cut it out, a person who can’t last even three minutes is useless."

Su Liyan said disdainfully, her focus entirely on you, well aware that if this group wanted to make it out alive, they were entirely reliant on you.

"Brother-in-law, we are all listening to you, you say—"

While speaking, all the worms suddenly lunged at you all at the same time!

You, who were already prepared, glared with a strong flicker of black and white light in your hands and shouted angrily, "All Forms of Sen Luo, Domination!"

A half-circular shield of intertwined black and white light enveloped you all, repelling all the worms’ attacks.

But these worms didn’t give up and kept crashing against the black and white shield.

Without going into details, the sound alone generated from their teeth, bodies, and the collision with the black and white shield was enough to drive anyone mad!

Everyone covered their ears, frowning tightly. Although the black and white shield blocked a lot of the view, the occasional sight of the worms’ disgusting mouths and bodies involuntarily generated negative emotions in everyone.

"Sis, is there any way to drive these worms away?"

You asked Su Liyan.

Su Liyan thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"

"Speak."

"Although I can’t name these worms, and they don’t seem to be worms, they resemble a type of Gu worm called Rope Worms found in Gu worms. These Rope Worms thrive on human feces, previously used to solve constipation issues."

For a delicate young lady to deal with worms and even use terms like ’feces’ without care showed she truly was a heroine among women.

"Rope Worms have a characteristic, they are eyeless. I observed earlier and found that these things don’t have eyes; they seem to rely on sound and smell to determine their direction."

"Sound and smell, huh?" you frowned.

"If sound can lead them away, it would be much easier."

Hong Chuange suddenly spoke up and then opened his hands in front of everyone about half a meter apart.

A strange ripple spread outwards.

Suddenly, you all noticed it had become quiet around you, unable to hear a sound!

The worms were still fiercely crashing against the black and white shield, but now they made no sound at all.

About a minute later, Hong Chuange gently clapped his hands and then, about several dozen meters away, an extremely harsh sound erupted.

The worms quickly ceased their attacks and swarmed toward the distant sound.

Although the worms had left, you did not retract the black and white shield but asked everyone, "Are you prepared to continue forward, or turn back?"

"Of course, we’ll continue forward, Sister Qian Ling is waiting for me to rescue her!" Su Liyan said, looking up.

The rest also expressed their determination to continue forward. The people of Chu Sect, though varying in strength, were not known to be cowardly or fearful. After all, everyone knew that their profession was highly dangerous, and even slight negligence could cost them their lives.

"Since that’s the case, everyone follow me, but be sure to be cautious of our surroundings. We don’t know what lies ahead, and we must not let the team be scattered."

Seeing everyone nod, you immediately retracted the black and white shield and led everyone toward the deeper part of the forest at a brisk pace.

Soon, the trees ahead began to thin out, and an open space appeared with a villa built in the center. Around the villa grew a very peculiar plant that looked somewhat like a pineapple tree, except instead of pineapples, what grew at the top were objects resembling silkworm cocoons.

At the villa’s main entrance stood another similar tree with a cocoon on it.

At that moment, a man dressed in a suit was lying on a lounge chair near the tree, with two bikinied, voluptuous women massaging him.

"Didn’t expect you guys to still make it here alive."
