Bei Xu woke up amongst the pile of rocks he had built to be his hideout. He immediately picked up on faint scraping sounds outside.
When Bei Xu heard these noises, all the hair on his body stood on end.
The scraping sounds were an urgent warning in the Grotto Continent. It was the sound of a colony of Knife Twist Line Centipedes.
The Knife Twist Line Centipedes were not considered feys. Their only means of attack was using their knife-like mouths.
If the Knife Twist Line Centipede accidentally bit an adult, they would be immediately trampled to death.
All of Bei Xu's hair had stood on end because of a legend that came to his mind.
The Knife Twist Line Centipede did not like to feed on flesh. It liked to eat metal-type spiritual ingredients.
According to legend, subterranean dimensional rifts opened up wherever a Knife Twist Line Centipede colony appeared.
