Chapter 337: The Heart-Eating Worm
Zhuo Ali was the name of the shadowy figure before me.
In "Deadly Weeds," Li Muyang had encountered this man. He was a villager of Black Cloud Fort but also followed the Temple-Sealing Lord and other Demon Cultivators in practicing their evil cultivation.
Yet, unexpectedly, I now met Zhuo Ali among the bizarre gray mist underground.
His body had swelled to a height of thirty feet, causing his gray clothes from Black Cloud Fort to stretch and enlarge as well.
But this tremendous shadowy figure was crawling with hair-raising blue monstrous insects.
These blue insects had long, sharp hairs, resembling giant wriggling caterpillars. Each strand of hair sparkled with a cold, deep blue light, adding an ice-cold and terrifying presence to them.
As they moved in the darkness, the blue spots on their bodies writhed like numerous hideous eyeballs.@@@@
Just at the sight of this creature, the dragon girl couldn’t help but scream.
"Ah, how terrifying!"
"Li Muyang, what is this thing?!"
Just a glimpse of the appearance of these heart-eating insects made the dragon girl feel physically ill.
Li Muyang also couldn’t help but shudder, goosebumps breaking out all over his skin.
These eerie blue caterpillars were indeed too terrifying and repulsive, causing a natural loathing.
However, looking at this fierce and fearsome monster, Li Muyang finally understood where that sense of homecoming came from.
—The aura of this underground world of gray mist was exactly the same as Black Cloud Fort!
Looking at Zhuo Ali with the health bar of [Mad Demon Cultivator] above him, Li Muyang’s mind was awash with speculation.
Could it be that when the group of Demon Cultivators from the era of the Temple-Sealing Lord perished, this place was their final den?
Li Muyang’s thoughts raced, but the monster ahead had none of the joy of villagers meeting fellow villagers.
The moment it saw the woman in the black mist, it roared instinctively and charged towards Li Muyang.
The blue heart-eating insects writhing on its body emitted a fierce blue glow, producing an eerily demonic blue flame.
Li Muyang immediately moved and released Heavenly Fire towards the monstrous creature ahead.
The Heavenly Fire crashed onto the giant body of Zhuo Ali, making him wail in agony and retreat continuously.
Yet those blue worms on its body seemed unaffected.
The Heavenly Fire blazed fiercely, and the blue light released by the heart-eating insects quickly coalesced into one.
Finally, a cluster of blue flames pierced through the Heavenly Fire called forth by Li Muyang, striking him directly.
—Could this blue flame penetrate Heavenly Fire?
And the amount was not small either.
Seeing this, Li Muyang’s eyes lit up.
He had ventured out this time precisely to hunt demonic beings to level up.
Now that the monsters in this underworld grey mist could increase experience points by being eaten... wasn’t this an excellent leveling dungeon?
Li Muyang’s mood immediately brightened up.
The Bite-Moon Flood Dragon also sensed the change in its body and was extremely delighted.
"Eating this monster can actually improve one’s cultivation? Li Muyang, you must have guessed it earlier, didn’t you?"
"No wonder you agreed to the Buddhist mother’s request so readily."
Realizing that eating the creatures in the grey mist could lead to leveling up, the dragon lady became happy as well.
Li Muyang then counted the heart-eating worms in the gourd, somewhat disappointed.
"Only 17 of them..."
These heart-eating worms were large and appeared dense, but only 17 were caught in the end.
It seemed he needed to kill more demonic creatures in the grey mist to accumulate enough heart-eating worms to exchange for the Seven Marrow Pill.
Li Muyang rested in the grey mist to digest for a while before taking out the white bone Taishang mother had given him.
He carefully cut off a small piece of Taishang meat and tossed it into the grey mist.
As the Taishang meat drifted through the mist, a faint fragrance also dispersed with it.
Li Muyang floated aside, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
But this time, he waited an entire hour before there was a stir in the grey mist.
A long shadow swam out from the grey mist, surprisingly a giant serpent with dry, scaly skin and a ferocious appearance akin to a walking corpse.
The giant serpent was twenty-zhang long and covered with blue bugs.
It roared, moving towards the piece of white bone Taishang meat.
But it quickly noticed Li Muyang, immobile in the grey mist.
A blue light suddenly appeared in the hollow, pitch-black eye sockets of the giant serpent.
An ugly heart-eating worm crawled out from its eye socket and howled angrily at Li Muyang in the mist.
The next second, the heart-eating worms on the giant serpent’s body shone brightly with blue light, and a dazzling blue fireball was hurled directly at Li Muyang in the grey mist.
But descending simultaneously was the fiery red heavenly fire that appeared out of nowhere in the grey mist, slamming fiercely onto the giant serpent’s body...
