Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: The Terrifying Bone-Eroding Worms

Lin Chen, Su Yun, along with Yang Minghui and the Yang family disciples, passed through the passage behind the stone chamber one by one, heading toward the next stone chamber.

Lin Chen still didn’t miss the traps in this passage, after all, they were all Sixth Rank magic treasures.

Upon reaching the next secret room, Lin Chen discovered that this stone chamber was several times larger than before; a rough estimate showed it could easily accommodate a hundred thousand people.

In the grand hall of the stone chamber, many had arrived before Lin Chen and the others.

After all, the passage leading to this stone chamber was not the only one Lin Chen and the others had previously taken.

Arriving at this stone chamber, everyone was instantly shocked.

Because within the grand hall of the stone chamber, there were actually eighteen massive stone coffins.

And surrounding these stone coffins, piled countless translucent crystal stones the size of fists.

These crystal stones contained infinite energy; Lin Chen looked up and found these crystal stones were the same spirit crystals that Shi Lijian had previously gifted him as a token of gratitude for Shi Yu’s life-saving aid.

Lin Chen’s heart immediately surged, fully understanding the value of these spirit crystals, and there were so many here, who wouldn’t be tempted?

These spirit crystals, any one of them was equivalent to thousands of top-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, the quality of these spirit crystals was exceedingly high, far superior to the one Shi Lijian gave Lin Chen.

It’s well known that some powerful formations, even sustained with top-grade spirit stones, struggle to achieve the desired effect and can only be maintained with spirit crystals.

Thus, the value of spirit crystals is evident; they are a universal currency for all experts.

Seeing such a large quantity of spirit crystals, even the Four Great Families could not remain calm, and Su Yun, Yang Minghui, Tang Tianpeng, and Mu Qinghe, too, showed signs of fervent desire in their eyes.

Lin Chen, Su Yun, and others moved forward slowly, wishing they could fly over and sweep up all those spirit crystals into their pouch.

However, things weren’t that simple.

The Water Bandits and the martial artists of Xindi Water City were also ahead. They were equally determined to acquire those spirit crystals, but had yet to act rashly.

Lin Chen moved to the front and discovered why the martial artists from other factions hadn’t made a move yet.

There lay a spirit mist, over five hundred yards wide, separating everyone from those stone coffins like a barrier.

Yet, this spirit mist didn’t seem particularly terrifying, but beneath the white mist were piles of humanoid skeletal remains.

And on those remains crawled countless bone-eroding worms, about the size of a palm.

Those bone-eroding worms were merely Fifth Rank toxic insects, attributed to yin, but their sheer numbers made even a Creation Realm expert likely incapable of dealing with them.

At this moment, seeing the spirit mist barrier, everyone frowned, unsure of how to cross.

Especially the groups of Heng Sanjin and Gu Yong’an, who were deeply intent on pocketing those spirit crystals.

"Go check it out; if you find a way to collect them, you’ll naturally get your share of those spirit crystals."

Heng Sanjin coldly gazed at a nearby Water Bandit.

Being able to reach this place meant these martial artists were no ordinary people; they had real skills.

And the man chosen by Heng Sanjin was one of the seventy-two Water Bandit leaders.

Summoned, the Water Bandit showed a trace of fear on his face.

Though the spirit crystals were indeed important, he felt them too precious to claim, yet Heng Sanjin’s command left no room for refusal.

"Hurry up, don’t make me personally throw you over there."

Heng Sanjin coldly addressed the Water Bandit.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell on the Water Bandit, not out of sympathy, but rather anticipation for him to explore ahead, curious about what might happen next.

The chosen Water Bandit’s face was incredibly solemn, knowing Heng Sanjin meant what he said; he’d witnessed his ruthlessness before, and if he continued hesitating, he’d surely be tossed over.

Then, the man slowly approached the spirit mist barrier, his heart chilled by the sight of the countless remains.

Moreover, there were innumerable bone-eroding worms on those remains.

Though called bone-eroding worms, they didn’t feed on bones; they consumed flesh instead.

Looking back, Heng Sanjin was already losing patience.

Reluctantly, the Water Bandit gritted his teeth and flew toward the barrier’s opposite side.

Typically, a mere five hundred yards distance would only take a few breaths for a Peak Nirvana Realm expert to cross.

However, within this Cave Heaven Stone Mansion, the massive pressure in the water forced the Water Bandit to take a hundred times longer.

The man soon reached the sky above the spirit mist barrier, though the bone-eroding worms had shown no sign of movement; yet the Water Bandit was sweating profusely in fright.

Flying halfway over the spirit mist barrier, he began to relax slightly, thinking the bone-eroding worms hadn’t noticed him.

But then, in the next moment.

Bzz bzz bzz—

Suddenly, countless tiny dim lights flickered within the spirit mist barrier, as the eyes of the bone-eroding worms opened.

Instantly accompanied by a piercing sound of wings fluttering, countless bone-eroding worms shot skyward from the spirit mist barrier, enveloping the Water Bandit instantly.

"Ah..."

A scream rang out.

It took no more than three to five breaths before those bone-eroding worms hovered briefly in the air, then plunged back into the spirit mist barrier, becoming silent.

Yet, the Water Bandit left behind only bleached bones, falling into the spirit mist barrier below, becoming one of the million remains, forever staying in this place.

Gulp—

Everyone watching this scene couldn’t help but swallow.

"Such bone-eroding worms, how terrifying!"

This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.

Initially, they believed not flying over that spirit mist barrier would keep them unnoticed by the bone-eroding worms, as these worms had indeed fallen silent after plunging into the barrier.

However, in the next moment, the sound of fluttering wings echoed around.

"Not good, those bone-eroding worms have come searching!"

A Water Bandit suddenly shouted, seeing a dense swarm of bone-eroding worms below him.

These bone-eroding worms cunningly used their wings to shield their bodies, hiding amidst the spirit mist.
