C63 spirit-eating worm

After entering the Death Ridge, the sense of danger in Nangong Shi's heart became even more obvious. He carefully walked inside.

"Bother Cheng, be careful!"

Nangong Shi nodded at Luo Cheng, and started to watch.

The interior was completely different from the scenery outside. There were even some feelings outside. However, when he was in such a state, Nangong Shi realized that this place was even more terrifying than what he had seen outside. A boundless pressure came over, making it hard to breathe. It was as if there was a huge rock pressing against his chest, making him unable to breathe. Furthermore, the interior was pitch black, and the surroundings were completely dark. The naked eye could only see a distance of three meters. He was also unable to use his divine sense.

This place was even more terrifying than the Misty Forest!

Nangong Shi muttered to himself, and his heart became even more vigilant.

"Bother Shi, look!"

Just as Nangong Shi was thinking, Luo Cheng suddenly shouted. Nangong Shi looked in the direction that Luo Cheng was pointing, and saw light! Furthermore, there were two of them!

"Why is there light here!"

Nangong Shi was shocked, and said somewhat cautiously.

"Bother Shi, the information that Liu Mei'er gave us also does not contain any specific information regarding the Death Ridge. It was said that the outer perimeter of the Death Ridge was filled with spatial cracks and could not be teleported. One could only fly by walking and could only exit from this layer of black fog. Do you think these two beams of light could be a form of guidance? "

Luo Cheng started to make some guesses.

"Guidance?" I always felt something was wrong. You didn't notice that, although the air and the surroundings have been stifling since we came in, we didn't encounter any danger along the way. If it was that simple, someone would have come a long time ago! He still had to be careful! Let's go over and take a look! "

Nangong Shi thought about it, he had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint it. The sense of danger in his heart also became more and more intense.

Luo Cheng did not care that much as he walked towards the two lights step by step. Although Nangong Shi felt that something was amiss, he was worried for Luo Cheng's safety and immediately followed along. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of their feet.

The two beams of light seemed very close, but in reality, they were very far away. Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng carefully walked for more than two hours. The two beams of light looked to be even closer to each other, but in the end, they were still unable to reach the entrance even after walking for another hour.

"Bother Shi, something's really wrong. According to our speed, although we can't compare to the speed of flying, our speed is much faster than mortals. We've already traveled at least five kilometers. How could we not have arrived? Is the outer perimeter that big? "

Finally, Luo Cheng also felt that something was amiss, and stopped to speak.

"That's right. The two beams of light appeared to be only a few dozen meters away from us. How could they have not arrived even after walking for such a long time? There must be something wrong! "

Nangong Shi stopped and looked around, and started to ponder.

"Bother Cheng, look, is there some dark gray fog around us?! Furthermore, the Soul force in my body seems to be decreasing! "

After Nangong Shi finished speaking, he waved his hand and a Soul force formed a ring of light around them. At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed. He saw the black gas around him being attracted by something, and pouncing frantically towards Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng. When they got close enough to look, both Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng's expressions changed. How was this gas? Several pairs of wings could be vaguely seen on his back. He had been flying too fast in the air to notice them!

Not good!

Nangong Shi secretly exclaimed, and immediately transferred the Soul force out, maintaining it on the protective shield. The crumbling protective cover lit up once again. The bugs outside went crazy again. Some of them directly lay on the ground and started biting onto the protective shield with all their might. Not long after, the protective shield began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bother Shi! What to do! How about we teleport out! "

When Luo Cheng saw the densely packed bugs outside the protective shield, he was also shocked. This was too scary! There had to be at least ten million of them!

"No!" This is the outer perimeter. If we teleport into the spatial crack, we might die there and then. Logically speaking, most bugs were afraid of fire. If I had known this would happen, I would have brought the Fire-Spitting Lion with me! "

Nangong Shi was anxious too, as he maintained his shield, he laughed bitterly.

"Kid, now you know who I am? "It's a good thing that my sense of smell is more sensitive, so I followed you guys as soon as you guys started walking."

Just as Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng were at a loss for words, a voice suddenly came out.

"Fire-Spitting Lion!"

Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng looked at each other and were immediately overjoyed.

"Fire-Spitting Lion, why aren't you coming out to help? Bother Shi can't hold on much longer. "

immediately shouted when he recognized the voice of the Fire-Spitting Lion.

"Don't be in such a hurry. I can see that the boy doesn't seem to be able to persevere any longer." Well, should I say you're lucky or not? This is the Spirit Devouring Beetle, you actually dare to release the Soul force within the Spirit Devouring Beetles. "Do you think you've lived too long?"

As the Fire-Spitting Lion spoke, it walked out from the void. The strange thing was, when the Fire-Spitting Lion walked over, the Spirit Devouring Beetles would automatically retreat, as if they were afraid of the Fire-Spitting Lion.

"Fire-Spitting Lion, they seem to be afraid of you? Also, how can you teleport? "

Luo Cheng saw through the situation of the Fire-Spitting Lion with his sharp eyes and said.

"I say, brat, do you want me to answer your question first, or do you want me to help your Bother Shi get rid of these things first?"

The Fire-Spitting Lion pointed at the Spirit Swallowing Worm on the protective cover and joked.

"Let's help Bother Shi first."

Luo Cheng looked at Nangong Shi, whose face was already turning white, and anxiously asked.

The Fire-Spitting Lion laughed. It looked like a teenager, making people feel funny. The Fire-Spitting Lion stopped smiling and turned into a beast again, as its body slowly grew. When it was about ten meters tall, the Fire-Spitting Lion stopped.

Hiss!

The Fire-Spitting Lion opened its mouth, and a suction force came out. The surrounding densely packed Spirit Swallowing Worms were all sucked into the Fire-Spitting Lion's mouth. As for the surrounding light, it slowly brightened up.

"Fire-Spitting Lion! Stop! If you keep sucking it in, you'll suck us in! "

Luo Cheng resisted the suction from the Fire-Spitting Lion with all his might and finally recovered.

Burp!

When the Fire-Spitting Lion heard Luo Cheng, it stopped, and its body slowly shrank and turned back into its human form. It stood in front of Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng and burped.

"I haven't eaten this full in a long time." The Fire-Spitting Lion said with satisfaction.

"You … you actually ate them!?" Aren't you afraid that they will bite through your stomach? "

Luo Cheng said in shock as he looked at the appearance of the Fire-Spitting Lion. Nangong Shi also looked at the Fire-Spitting Lion with an astonished face.

"If it were any other beast, its intestines would have been bitten through by the Spirit Swallowing Worm. Unfortunately, I am a Fire-Spitting Lion! "

The Fire-Spitting Lion said proudly. Under Nangong Shi's questioning, the Fire-Spitting Lion finally revealed the reason behind it.

It turned out that the Spirit Devouring Worms were natural born insects that relied on devouring spirit energy to survive. No matter what it was, as long as one had spirit energy, they would absolutely die when encountering the Spirit Devouring Beetle. However, the only thing that could suppress the Spirit Devouring Beetles were the legendary Qilins. This was because all the Qilins had an empty space within them. The impartial Fire-Spitting Lion coincidentally had the Qilin's bloodline within it, and it was even the only existence in its body whose bloodline had reached the Ancestral Bloodline in the past ten thousand years.

"Now you know why they are afraid of me! "Remember, I saved both of you this time."

The Fire-Spitting Lion proudly said. From time to time, it would suck a Spirit Swallowing Worm over and swallow it.

Kirin? I also have the Elder Mo's bloodline in my body, so why aren't they afraid of me? Nangong Shi thought somewhat suspiciously. Forget it, I'll study it when I have time in the future.

"Fire-Spitting Lion, can you help me catch a few Spirit Swallowing Worms? I want to study it. "

Nangong Shi thought about it, then decided to share his thoughts.

"Research?" Well, it's a small matter anyway. " The Fire-Spitting Lion looked at Nangong Shi strangely, and with a wave of its hand, it grabbed a bunch of Spirit Swallowing Worms and brought them over.

"Thank you." Nangong Shi carefully took out a porcelain bottle and placed the Spirit Swallowing Worm inside. He casually tossed it into the ring.

"Let's go. Since you've already followed us, just follow us." "Thank you this time. I will definitely do what I promised you."

After Nangong Shi finished speaking to the Fire-Spitting Lion, he took the lead and walked over.

"Fire-Spitting Lion, thank you for this time. I, Luo Cheng, owe you a favor. "

Luo Cheng said to the Fire-Spitting Lion as well, and followed after Nangong Shi.

"Wait for me." Seeing Nangong Shi and Luo Cheng already walking far away, the Fire-Spitting Lion hurriedly shouted and followed them.
