1067 The Underground World Becomes A Mess

"Roarrrr!"

"Owooo…"

Numerous underground creatures split into two groups in the tunnel as they chased a zombie dog and a large snake everywhere.

Bowwow was as fast as a bolt of thunder, and much nimbler than the lowest-leveled underground creatures. Therefore, the large number of pursuers didn't pose it any measure of threat.

The snake was fast too. However, as his body was too long, his tail always ended up being bitten.

Soon, more and more underground gorillas showed up. A few level-four ones came to the round-shaped room and sniffed around, then raised their heads together to look at the mushroom which was still hanging upside down on the cave roof.

The mushroom stayed silent.

The few level-four underground creatures stood below the mushroom and looked up at it, then lowered their heads and roared at each other, seemingly running a discussion. A few seconds later, they dug out some rocks from the corners of the room and threw them at the mushroom, each rock weighing about ten kilograms.

Where they trying to hit the mushroom off the roof? How could that be so easy?

The mushroom tilted its head and dodged the first rock, which flew to the other side and hit the cave wall. As the first rock missed its target, the group of level-four underground gorillas immediately threw out the second one, the third one, and the fourth one.

They found more rocks and kept throwing them at the mushroom, which was hanging about ten meters away from the ground. The mushroom leaned from side to side, flexibly dodging every piece of rock that flew at it. Not even one rock hit it as the mushroom turned its body happily, seeming to be enjoying the game.

"Roar!" After trying for quite a while, the group of underground gorillas started to lose patience. They gathered together again and roared at each other, then changed their plan.

Soon, one of them lay on the ground and another one climbed onto its shoulder. Then, the first one propped its upper body up with its arms. After that, the other few creatures climbed onto its back.

Clearly, they planned to send one of them to the roof to bring the mushroom down.

Five three-meters-tall underground gorillas could reach the cave roof by forming a pyramid. However, could they form a pyramid stably?

They could! Pretty easily, they reached closer and closer to the large mushroom.

The mushroom quietly gave a few glances at those creatures, then pulled its roots out of the cave roof and slowly made a few steps to the side before turning back. As expected, the few underground creatures were looking at it confusedly.

Lin Qiao walked into the tunnel which was connected with some other tunnels. From time to time, some underground gorillas came out of those tunnels.

They quickly ran forward and Lin Qiao followed behind them like an invisible shadow. Soon, she entered another broad room that was crowded by underground creatures.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A five-meter-tall underground gorilla and a few three-meter-tall ones were standing in the middle. The five-meter-tall one was the highest-leveled one that Lin Qiao had seen in the cave.

It was a level-seven one, as large as a buffalo.

It stood there silently, with the few level-four underground gorillas roaring at the group of lower-leveled ones by its sides, seemingly giving out some kind of instructions.

Lin Qiao took a few glances at the level-seven underground creature. It wasn't as energetic as the ones that she caught from the earth surface. It seemed weaker than those, but she still wanted its energy.

After all, the energy it had was more than what a hundred level-four ones could have. As for the weakest ones, the total energy of a thousand of them might still not be as much as the energy of a level-seven one.

Lin Qiao quietly looked at that level-seven underground gorilla. As the few level-four underground gorillas gave a few roars o the crowd, the crowd split up and went into the surrounding tunnels. Before long, the room became empty; only the level-seven one and the few level-four ones stayed there.

Lin Qiao waved a hand and sent a few wisps of dark fire toward those underground creatures. While she was using her power, her body flashed across the air and was no longer invisible.

The dark fire drifted in the air and drilled into those creatures' noses and ears, not missing any one of them.

"Roar!" Sensing Lin Qiao's vibe, the group of underground creatures immediately grew alert and roared at her. Animals usually roared to warn their enemies.

Soon, the netherworld fire that had drilled into their bodies started to absorb their energy. The disappearance of their energy made them panic. What was taken was not only their energy, but also their life force.

"Roar…" The level-seven underground gorillas threw both arms on the ground and gave a painful roar as he started scratching its face, just like the others.

Lin Qiao stood near them and raised both arms to gain a stronger control over her power to absorb their energy and life-force more quickly.

Soon, the few level-four underground creatures fell on the ground stiffly before their bodies shrank and then disappeared. A few streams of dark fire flew out of their bodies into that level-seven one's body, and then merged together under Lin Qiao's control.

"Roar…" The level-seven underground creature started rolling on the ground. The creature had extra strong skin, but wasn't able to stop her from absorbing its energy from the inside of its body.

Within one minute, the level-seven underground creature stopped moving, and then its body shrank. At last, it was devoured entirely by Lin Qiao's dark fire.

As the black fire flew back into her palm, Lin Qiao sensed a familiar energy flow across her entire body and then enter her nucleus.

Still not enough! She needed much, much more to break into level-eight. That energy was…

She wondered how the level-eight creature was doing at the moment, and how badly it was harmed by Wu Chengyue last time. If she could weaken that creature by fifty percent, she might be able to start absorbing its energy.

Lin Qiao didn't come down into the cave to look for the level-eight one particularly, but she now decided to try and look for it. If the creature was wounded severely, she would have a great chance.

She had spent quite long in the cave, yet all underground creatures she met were at lower levels. She had only seen a few higher-leveled ones so far.

With that thought, she turned herself invisible and looked around, then walked into the largest tunnel.
