Chapter 187 - Buddha"s Illumination
"Roar!"With a roar that was filled with both anger and shock, the Netherworld Leopard"s ma.s.sive body was bitten! Xiang Yun and Luo He simultaneously turned to look.
What was biting down on the Netherworld Leopard was actually a dark green jade-like monster with a body that was as large as a python. Its head was the size of a fist and there were hundreds of eyes on it!
This monster was like a giant worm whose entire body was covered in dark green mucus. Its huge, slippery body actually filled the entire karst cave.The giant mouth of the latter was filled with jagged, jagged, strange stone fangs that were extremely horrifying. At this moment, it firmly held onto the body of the Netherworld Leopard as it struggled nonstop!
"It"s the Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm!"
The moment the enormous emerald green creature appeared, Luo He, who was beside Xiang Yun, blurted out the monster"s name.
"Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm!" Xiang Yun was also greatly shocked. Back then, when he had read about this type of Cloud Beast in an ancient book, he had also seen a short record of this insect.
It lived in a dark and humid cave all year round, curled up in a dark underground river without any light. However, it had over a hundred eyes. The latter was usually fishing in underground rivers for a living and rarely came out to hunt for prey!
The strength of this beast was very weak. From the number of eyes on its head, one could tell that if it could have over a hundred eyes, then the Hundred Eyed Corpse Worm would have stepped into the rank of a general level Cloud Beast.
If a person was able to break through the third digit and reach a level of over a thousand eyes, they would become a king level corpse worm.
The eyes of this Hundred Eyed Tattooed Corpse Worm were as dense as lotus seeds; it was extremely disgusting. Although there were less than a thousand of them, there were at least several hundred. This was definitely a powerful late general level existence!
"Roar!"
Now that it was firmly bitten by the hundred-eyed zombie worm, the Netherworld Leopard immediately lost its calm. It roared and struggled, his body glowing with a black light. It suddenly turned around and swiped at the giant creature!
The latter waved its five claws, bringing with it five streams of tyrannical energy. It directly drew five black lines in the air and brazenly slammed into the huge mouth of the monster!
"Clang clang!"In an instant, the sound of metal hitting stone resounded through the cave. A handful of brilliant sparks bloomed. The Netherworld Leopard cut through metal and broke jade. Its powerful claws were unexpectedly ineffective at this moment.
The five claws were like the toughest metal in the world. They created a series of sparks, but were unable to break through the Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm"s soft skin. Only five white scars were left on its green and soft body.
"Hiss!"Although the Netherworld Leopard"s claw didn"t work, breaking through the corpse worm"s defense caused it a great deal of pain, causing it to be thoroughly enraged.
The next moment, it let out a strange roar from its throat. From the pink flesh in its mouth, tens of thousands of tentacles as thin as silk suddenly shot out and wrapped around the Netherworld Leopard"s body!
As soon as the tentacles came in contact with the Netherworld Leopard"s body, they would pierce through it with the tip. They would then wrap themselves around the Netherworld Leopard before continuing to find a place to pierce its body.The countless tentacles actually ignored the Netherworld Leopard"s protective profound light and instantly pierced the Netherworld Leopard"s body. Some pierced through its abdomen, some drilled into its eyes, and some directly pa.s.sed through its mouth, throat, stomach, and through its back.
For a time, the Netherworld Leopard howled miserably. Its body was bleeding profusely and splattered everywhere!
Originally, the Netherworld Leopard"s claws were firmly clamped on the ground, preventing itself from being swallowed by the Hundred Eyed Corpse Worm.However, in the next moment, it was already wrapped into a large pink coc.o.o.n by those pink threads. It could no longer let out a howl, and could only hear heavy and heavy gasps as its bones cracked, and the ear-piercing sounds of its muscles breaking!
"Gu Du Du"Tens of thousands of tentacles pulled at the body of the Netherworld Leopard, and these tentacles opened their b.l.o.o.d.y chests like an abyss. The Netherworld Leopard"s ma.s.sive body was actually completely swallowed up!
In the blink of an eye, the majestic and predatory Cloud Beast had turned into a pile of dead meat in the stomach of another!
"Ugh!"Xiang Yun stared blankly at the Netherworld Leopard being devoured by the Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his entire being dull and lifeless.
Fear uncontrollably spread through Xiang Yun"s heart. His back felt somewhat cold, and his scalp couldn"t help but go numb!The method of devouring the Netherworld Leopard was simply too terrifying. The tens of thousands of tentacles pierced through and tightened, slicing the Netherworld Leopard"s body into pieces. This method of death was truly too chilling!
Xiang Yun subconsciously reached out and grabbed Luo He, who was standing at the side. The latter did not turn around, but instead stared straight at the Hundred Eyed Corpse Worm that was devouring the Netherworld Leopard. Xiang Yun silently pulled Luo He back, one step at a time.
As he retreated, Xiang Yun lowered his voice, saying carefully, "This big fellow ate the Netherworld Leopard. It shouldn"t be looking for trouble with us, right?"Luo He tightly gripped her hand as she wore her storage ring. She was also vigilantly staring at the enormous being that seemed to be digesting the Netherworld Leopard"s corpse as she replied in a low voice.
"But how come I"ve heard that these Armored Corpse Worms are cruel and gluttonous? As long as they see a living thing, they will not let them go."
"This …" Xiang Yun was speechless, but he could only watch nervously. The Hundred Eyed Tattooed Corpse Worm in front of them was something that even the Netherworld Leopard would be unable to dodge in time. Once it decided to kill them, they would have no chance of escape!"Bro, we brought you such a big meal. It"s fine if you don"t thank us, but you can"t possibly want to eat your benefactor, right? If you"re full, go back to sleep. Please don"t come over."
Xiang Yun pulled Luo He back step by step as he muttered to himself.
Beside him, when Luo He heard this, she couldn"t help but feel that it was funny even though she was nervous.
However, it was unknown if it was because Xiang Yun"s words had truly been understood by the Hundred Eyed Tattooed Corpse Worm, or if it was because the latter had eaten a commander level cloud beast. Its stomach was already full.A satisfied hiss came from the Hundred Eyed Striped Corpse Worm"s mouth as its huge body slowly retreated back into the cave. Its big, smooth body rubbed against the side of the cave and made a "ji ji" sound that made people"s teeth ache.
"Hu!"
Xiang Yun and Luo He both let out a long sigh at the same time upon seeing this.However, just when the two of them had exhaled and thought that everything was fine …
It had already retreated to the bottom of the cave and was about to return to the pool. However, it didn"t seem to have noticed their hundreds of eyes, so it suddenly fixed its eyes on them.
"Hiss!"In the next moment, the cave suddenly shook. The originally retreating corpse worm suddenly rushed at the two of them with a speed even faster than when it had attacked the Netherworld Leopard. Its momentum was extremely terrifying!
"This is bad!"
It was as if the Hundred Eyed Tattooed Corpse Worm"s gaze was locked onto the two of them. The moment he did, Xiang Yun sensed that something was wrong.
It turned out that this beast wasn"t planning on letting the two of them go. Its retreat was just to recharge its explosive power and kill the two of them as fast as it could!
At this moment, Xiang Yun"s first thought was of the Small Teleportation Pill in his hands. As long as he and Luo He each consumed a pill, the two of them would be able to teleport outside of the cave in an instant.
However, just as Xiang Yun was about to raise his hand and swallow the pill, he realized that it was already a little too late. He had overestimated his own speed, and had also overestimated the Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm"s speed.
If Xiang Yun had placed the pill in his mouth before, he might have been able to make it in time. But at this moment, with just a fraction of a second, the Hundred Eyed Zombie Worm was fast enough to reach the two!And even if he was lucky enough to escape, as for Luo He, he would die for sure!
To be able to instantly kill the extremely fast Netherworld Leopard, one could imagine how fast this worm was. It had already surpa.s.sed the natural reaction speed of humans.
From the corner of his eyes, Xiang Yun had already caught a glimpse of the Armored Corpse Worm"s b.l.o.o.d.y maw. It was only a few dozen feet away from the two of them. To the Armored Corpse Worm, this distance could be covered in an instant!
At this moment, Xiang Yun had wrapped his arms around Luo He"s body, instinctively moving backwards in a myriad of steps, fighting for the time to think!
At this moment, Xiang Yun"s mind was racing. He had thought of all sorts of methods to escape, but right now, his only options were the Hundred Transformations Divine Body, Tiger Claw Extinguishing Hand, Gale Speed Sword, and the like.
Although these cards were powerful, at that very instant, there was no possibility of stopping this enormous monster with horrifying strength!
[What else do I have? It seems there is a sect building order …]
Also
Right, there was also the "Buddhist light"!
At this moment, Xiang Yun suddenly thought of a special item that he had drawn a few days ago, "Buddhist light".Towards this skill that did not have any effect and could only be used for illumination, Xiang Yun did not have any good feelings towards it at all. He had even almost forgotten about it.
However, in this completely exhausted and awkward situation, Xiang Yun suddenly remembered this skill!
Even Xiang Yun himself felt that he was going crazy using a non-offensive ability like Buddhist light to block this late general level Six-Eyed Tattooed Corpse Worm!
But right now, there was nothing he could do. He didn"t have time to use any other methods. All he could do was use the Buddhist light.Even if it could buy him a second, it was better than not doing anything and dying here immediately!
Without any hesitation, Xiang Yun shouted into the cave!
"Buddhist Illumination!"Xiang Yun"s voice, which was filled with a heroic aura, echoed throughout the cave as he left!
Luo He, who was beside them, was slightly stunned. Even the Hundred Eyed Patterned Corpse Worm that was chasing after the two of them was inexplicably stunned!
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, the entire cave suddenly buzzed loudly. At the same time, a resplendent golden light instantly flooded the entire cave of darkness, as if Buddhist light was shining on the earth!
"Hiss!"
The Hundred Eyed Striped Corpse Worm lived in this dark cave all year round. Although it had over a hundred eyes, it still hated light.Upon suddenly seeing such a strong golden light, his hundreds of eyes subconsciously narrowed. At the same time, the momentum of his charge was immediately halted!
"Brother Wei, you!"Luo He"s incomparably surprised voice suddenly rang out from within the cave. The latter was currently staring with wide eyes at Xiang Yun, who was bathed in golden light like a G.o.d that had descended to the mortal world!
At this moment, Xiang Yun was bathed in a holy golden light, a blinding light shining in all directions!
His eyes were lowered, and golden symbols circulated between his eyebrows. If it were not for the fact that his hair was long and black, the current him was like the golden Buddha that descended to the mortal world!
