Ch 33: The Terrifying Worm

The worm was about to attack Qin Xingling but before it could do anything, Qin Xingling's eyes flashed and the worm let out a painful screech that seemed to be coming from its soul. Although Qin Xingling could do much about souls yet, she could still affect souls to some extent.

The worm was angered. Instead of killing Qin Xingling, it actually caught her by shooting a sticky white net from its mouth.

"Junior Sister!"

Seeing Qin Xingling being controlled by the worm, Ning Xiang's face turned pale. She hurriedly picked up the sword and slashed at the worm.

However, the worm did not care about the Sword Light that Ning Xiang slashed over and dragged its huge body away at a very fast speed, carrying Qin Xingling along!

"Bastard, stay behind!"

Ning Xiang's pair of bright gold pupils were filled with blood-red light.

The giant worm fled with all its might.

"Let's catch up with that worm first. Maybe, there is a way to save Qin Xingling."

Ye Xiao comforted Ning Xiang. His brows were tightly knitted. He did not expect that such a thing would happen. His heart felt a little heavy. After all, Qin Xingling was a good person. It would be a pity if an accident happened.

"En."

Ning Xiang nodded at Ye Xiao. She suddenly felt that this human in front of her was much more composed and wise than she had imagined. It was just that she had always been prejudiced against Ye Xiao and thus did not notice it.

The two of them followed the direction where the worm had fled. After an unknown period of time, a desolate cave appeared in front of them. There were waves of demonic aura coming out from the cave.

The enormous body of the giant worm quickly drilled into the cave.

"This should be this guy's nest. Let's go in and take a look!"

Ye Xiao's eyes shone with a cold light as he spoke.

Then, he quickly moved toward the interior of the cave.

Ning Xiang's eyes slightly fluctuated as she looked at the pointless back view. They could be considered to have met Ye Xiao by chance, but when they encountered a crisis, Ye Xiao would always be able to help them at the first possible moment. He wouldn't even care about her comforting him. There was flesh and blood.

This caused Ye Xiao's image in Ning Xiang's heart to change once again.

Very quickly, the two of them entered the cave, one in front and one behind. They found that this cave was naturally formed and had a very deep appearance.

It was slightly harder for them to enter the cave. The worm had disappeared without a trace. It could be seen just how big this cave was.

Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang carefully walked forward, and finally found a little bit of light in the direction they were heading.

Soon, the light became bigger and bigger. When the two of them really got close to the light, they found that it was the core area of the worm's lair.

This area should be within the inner area of a mountain. It was several hundred meters in diameter and extremely wide.

"Hiss! Hiss"

Seeing Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang chasing after him, the worm let out a roar, as if warning the two not to get close to it.

Not far away, Qin Xingling's delicate body was lying on the ground. There were no obvious injuries on her body, so she should have fainted.

"It seems that we must kill this fellow before we can save Qin Xingling."

Ye Xiao's eyes flickered with a sharp light as he said to Ning Xiang.

"Yeah."

Ning Xiang nodded at Ye Xiao. The two of them surrounded the worm from two different directions.

"Roar!"

The worm let out a roar. Its body was covered with a thick layer of black gas, and it released a pungent smell. Its tail crazily swept towards Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang!

Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang dodged. They knew that ordinary attacks would not be able to hurt the worm, so they waited for an opportunity.

The attack of the worm was incomparably violent. Every strike was earth-shattering. The entire cave kept trembling, and from time to time, rocks would lose and fall to the ground.

Soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed. Due to the worm losing an eye, its vision was greatly affected, and its attack was not as accurate as before.

Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang both were powerful warriors. Therefore, although the attack of the worm was extremely powerful, it was very difficult to injure Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang.

Gradually, perhaps because of the huge consumption of energy, the movement of the worm began to slow down, and it could not keep up with the rhythm.

"You stay in front of it and attract its attention. I'll go blind its other eye. This way, we'll be able to find a chance to kill it."

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw the worm slow down. He said to Ning Xiang.

"Okay."

Ning Xiang nodded and waved the cyan sword in her hand. She took the initiative to attack the worm, attracting its attention.

Very quickly, the worm's attention was shifted to Ning Xiang. At this moment, Ye Xiao attacked. A spear was thrust out, and the terrifying spear light arrived in an instant. It pierced into the other eye of the worm. Dark green blood splashed onto Ye Xiao's body. It had actually corroded Ye Xiao's Clothes in an instant. Clearly, it possessed an extremely strong poison. It was extremely frightening!

"Roar!"

At the same time, one of the eyes was blinded, and the worm became even more violent. Its huge body continued to struggle, and it rampaged through the space. It smashed into the surrounding walls, causing a deafening sound to ring out.

"Take this opportunity to kill it!"

Immediately after, his body moved first. Ning Xiang also followed him. The two of them rose into the air and attacked the space between the worm's eyebrows from two different directions.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!"

The worm, who had lost its eyes, didn't know that danger was approaching. It continued to struggle. In the next moment, two muffled sounds were heard. Ye Xiao's spear and Ning Xiang's longsword pierced into the center of the worm's brows.

The next moment, the worm's huge body trembled violently, and it actually stopped struggling in an instant.

"Hu!"

However, just as Ye Xiao and Ning Xiang thought that the battle had ended, the worm suddenly opened its huge mouth again. This time, instead of a sticky white net, a green net shot out from its mouth. Ye Xiao hurriedly dodged the net in an instant by teleporting away, but Ning Xiang was not that lucky. Ning Xiang's body was wrapped by the green net.

"Boom!"

The worm's huge body fell down with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust in the air.

The dust gradually dispersed. Ye Xiao turned to look at Ning Xiang, only to see her lying on the ground. She had fallen unconscious. And her clothes were slowly melting because of the green net. This net was acidic in nature and Ye Xiao did not doubt that if touched the skin, Ning Xiang will definitely be poisoned. At the same time, her skin will also start burning because of the green net's acidic nature.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly and slowly approached Ning Xiang.

Her breathing was rapid and she seemed to be in a perilous situation. The sweet sweat on her forehead was dripping, and the binocular had become somewhat blurry.

"I never thought that the sticky green net that the worm shot out at the end would have such power." Ye Xiao thought in his heart.

Then he used his Void Shattering Spear and started removing the sticky green net. It took some time, but Ye Xiao successfully removed the sticky green net from Ning Xiang's body.

Because the clothes on her body had started melting, it revealed her snow-white skin.

There were a few burned places on her body and she was already poisoned. Ye Xiao did not think much and immediately placed his hand on her front shoulders before speaking, "Devour".

The next moment, streams of green gas started coming out from Ning Xiang's body. Ye Xiao was devouring this green gas rapidly. This green gas was the poison from the green net.

Ye Xiao's devouring ability could devour anything as long as Ye Xiao is capable enough. The thing he could devour has a direct relation to his strength.

Devouring poisons out of someone's body was not that difficult for the current Ye Xiao.

After devouring the poison, Ye Xiao spoke: "Life Recovery!"

Life Recovery was another one of the nine special abilities Ye Xiao was born with. This ability could not only heal Ye Xiao's own injuries, but it could also heal others' injuries easily.

As for what kind of injuries it could heal, just like his other abilities, it was also directly related to Ye Xiao's own strength.

The current him could not but there will come a day when Ye Xiao would be able to heal soul injuries easily and might even completely heal a soul from its shattered fragment.
