The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Watching Youluo unleash her furious attack, annihilating those disguised Devouring Worms, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

Lu Ye had observed this place since his last visit.

Directly killing these Fel Eaters with brute force wouldn't be of much help.

Because the energy of those dead Devouring Worms does not disappear, but is instead consumed by other Devouring Worms.

The end result will be the breeding of several extremely powerful Devouring Worms!
However, Lu Ye did not stop her, allowing Youluo to take the initiative.

Some things are hard to believe unless you see them with your own eyes.

Sure enough, as Youluo continued to kill, hundreds and thousands of Devouring Worms were destroyed.

As that energy dissipated, it was absorbed and devoured by the Devouring Worms deeper within the passage.

The more evolved and powerful Devouring Worms possess a slight increase in intelligence, realizing that continuing to disguise themselves is futile.

From deep within the passage, the Zerg language was immediately spoken.

In an instant, all the Devouring Worms in the passage came back to life!
"so much?!"

In an instant, Youluo was stunned. Among these Devouring Insects that pounced on her, there were even a few whose strength was comparable to that of a martial arts grandmaster!
"My lord, let me handle this. I refuse to believe I can't kill all these things!" However, Youluo quickly stopped caring and continued to attack.

After all, even the Devouring Worms, which are comparable to Grandmasters, number only two or three, and they are far from enough to withstand the attack.

Two more minutes passed...

"How come there are several more Grandmaster-level Devouring Worms?!"

Youluo had completely sensed something was wrong. The more she killed, the fewer the swarm of Devouring Worms there were, but the stronger each individual worm was.

"My lord, what's going on?" At this moment, Youluo finally realized that brute force alone was not working.

"It's very simple. Living Feral Devourers will devour the energy of dead Feral Devourers."

Lu Ye explained from the side, "When you kill a Devouring Worm, you need to destroy the energy it releases, or take it elsewhere so it doesn't remain in this space."

Upon hearing this, Youluo suddenly realized what was going on.

Suddenly, Youluo changed her tactics against the Devouring Worms. After each kill, she immediately separated a portion of her Origin Qi to envelop the energy released by the dead Devouring Worms and send it towards the mountain fissure that ran from bottom to top.

Let those energies rise from the crack.

In this way, the Devouring Worms in these passages instantly lost the energy replenishment from their companions.

It took a full incense stick's time for Youluo, who was at the eighth level of the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, to finally clean up the cave passage.

At this moment, Youluo leaned weakly against Lu Ye, panting, "This is too...too much. If there's any more, Youluo won't be able to handle it."

This kind of pure source gas output, at a high intensity in a short period of time, does indeed put a considerable load on the system.

"Alas, if only I had discovered what you were talking about sooner, my lord and husband, all my previous efforts would have been in vain."

Youluo thought of this again and sighed.

She glanced up at Lu Ye, then said happily, "But it's alright, as long as you can understand it, that's fine. Youluo will do the work, and you'll use your brain. If we join forces... won't things get really exciting?"

Lu Ye: “…”

Let Youluo rest for a while to replenish her consumed source energy.

After all, the situation in that valley is not particularly clear right now.

If there really are larvae of the Nine-Headed Void Worm in that white mist, it would obviously be best to restore them to their peak condition.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In a city not far from this mountain range, Zhang Chong, who had just hurriedly returned from the mountains, arrived at the living room.

"Father, we've investigated the mountain crevice over there. There's no treasure inside, but rather... countless insects!"

"What?!" Zhang Zhen, the patriarch of the Zhang family in Fushan City, suddenly stood up: "What kind of insect is it?"

Zhang Chong quickly said, "Most of the guards we sent down to investigate have returned. Several were killed on the spot, but many of the guards who escaped also had these insects on them."

Zhang Zhen immediately said, "Take me there to take a look."

A moment later, Zhang Chong led Zhang Zhen to a courtyard. Even before they got close, they could hear screams of agony coming from inside, as if everyone was enduring inhuman torture.

Zhang Zhen pushed open the door and entered, finding several guards inside, all foaming at the mouth. Beneath their skin, there was something...

It appears to be wriggling.

Zhang Zhen's expression changed, and he quickly went to a guard, probing in with his eighth-level innate true energy, trying to force the thing out.

However, after a short while, Zhang Zhen realized that it was all in vain.

These worms can perfectly hide themselves inside the human body by burrowing into the flesh.

However, those who are expelled cannot use their own true energy to penetrate the flesh and blood indefinitely, since this is not much different from torture.

After some probing, the guard's face turned even paler, and Zhang Zhen withdrew his hand, letting out a helpless sigh.

"Master, kill me! Ah..."

The guard, who was already curled up on the ground in excruciating pain, roared.

"I never imagined that the area beneath that crack would be so wicked. If these insects were to grow up and no longer stay there, it would be an absolute disaster for Fushan City!"

Zhang Zhen's eyes instantly sharpened as he said, "I'm going to ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion and join forces with the city's forces to wipe out all these demonic insects!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chong immediately said, "Father, someone has already gone..."

Immediately, Zhang Chong recounted his previous encounter with Lu Ye and his companion.

"What? Those two said they were just going to kill these insects?!" Zhang Zhen was slightly shocked.

Below, the guard, writhing in agony, shook his head and said, "They can't be killed... they can't be killed! There are at least tens of thousands of insects down there!"

"Moreover, the more you kill them, the stronger the remaining insects become!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chong's expression changed.

They can't kill them all...

Doesn't that mean those two are in danger?!
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chong said, "Father, I'll take some men there to take another look."

Zhang Zhen frowned: "It's too dangerous there, let's forget about it."

Zhang Chong shook his head and said, "I won't go down easily, Father. If those two manage to escape, I can help them out."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine then. Remember, don't go down there lightly!"

Beneath the crack.

Youluo took the recovery pills she had on her body, and under their effects, she had almost fully recovered.

“My lord, I’m all better now,” Youluo said, getting up.

Nodding, Lu Ye said, "Come with me."

The two entered the cave passage again, where the lurking, disguised Devouring Worms were no longer present.

Having arrived smoothly at the end of the passage, Lu Ye looked at the faintly glowing teleportation array and asked, "Are you ready?"

After being teleported in, Lu Ye was unaware of the current situation in the valley, which is why he asked this question.

"I'm ready. With you here, Youluo isn't worried." Youluo glanced at Lu Ye, a smile appearing on her face.

They entered the teleportation array with Youluo, and the next moment, light burst forth, and the two figures disappeared from the spot.

In the valley.

Two figures fell from mid-air and quickly regained their footing.

Lu Ye immediately scanned his surroundings.

The white mist that had been lingering near the entrance of the valley had now mostly flowed into the valley!

A subtle sense of danger permeated the surroundings... (End of Chapter)
