The Eternal World

The depth of this huge crater was beyond measure.

Zhang Chao felt himself falling vertically, and only landed steadily on the ground after an incense's time.

Fortunately, while he was falling, there was a spinning force dragging his body, greatly reducing the force of his fall. Even when he landed on the ground, his two legs didn't have much of a burden to bear.

"This place is really sinister!" His eyes adjusted, and he immediately saw that the black ground at his feet was littered with the white bones of various animals.

Countless more poisonous insects were crawling in and out.

"Aiya, how disgusting!" A centipede that was the size of a palm and completely scarlet red in color crawled on the back of Zhang Chao's feet while wiggling its body.

He jumped in fright and instinctively shook it off. Then, he stepped on the centipede until it burst out with green liquid.

But it was not urgent, it immediately attracted the attention of the other poisonous bugs, and they all rushed towards Zhang Chao, waving their poisonous teeth, as though they had seen their prey, wanting to tear Zhang Chao into pieces.

"Even you little bugs want to do something to me?" Zhang Chao scoffed, with a flip of his palm, he released his spirit energy. The tyrannical pressure instantly crushed all the bugs around him.

"Strange, after so long, I shouldn't have jumped down by myself, right?" He clapped his hands, then looked up.

After waiting for a long time, he still wasn't able to find anyone who jumped down. He couldn't help but feel perplexed.

"Could it be that this place is very wide, so even if someone jumped in, they would be separated and hard to come in contact with?" He said to himself thoughtfully.

Just as he had guessed, the 800 plus people did all jump down. However, very few of them would land in one place, and most of them would be separated.

The ground of the entire Thousand Worm Abyss was vast and boundless. Moreover, the light was dim and the range of view was very narrow.

On the ground, there were all kinds of insects and ants running amok.

This is their heaven.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Suddenly, Zhang Chao heard a faint scream, and immediately ran towards the source of the scream.

As he approached, he couldn't help but cover his mouth.

The scene before his eyes was too tragic.

A student of Energy Accumulation Realm had most likely fallen into a wormhole when she was jumping down. Before she even had the chance to struggle, he was engulfed by a large group of bugs and was crazily devoured by them. At this time, half of her body had already been turned into white bones and only a small piece of her skin was left.

He opened his mouth wide, and the venomous bugs crawled around in his mouth. Even one of his eyeballs was bitten off. The liquid mixed with blood continuously flowed out of his eye sockets.

It was as if he wasn't completely dead yet. Seeing Zhang Chao's arrival, he stretched out his hand with all his might, seeking for help.

Zhang Chao hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed onto his opponent's hand and forcefully pulled.

"Crack!" He only pulled up half of his arm.

White bones were exposed, and from the cross section of the severed arm, a few bugs crawled out, even chewing on the other party's flesh!

"Hiss!" Zhang Chao was so scared that he quickly threw away his severed arm, and retreated a few steps.

Another group of bugs fiercely pounced over, instantly transforming that arm into a pile of bones!

The student's body was slowly engulfed by the sea of insects, and the chewing sounds came to a stop. Zhang Chao knew that the student had been completely devoured.

"Ai, senior brother, take care!" Zhang Chao sighed, he did not want to stay here any longer, so he immediately turned and ran.

Otherwise, after those bugs ate that unlucky bastard, what would they do if they came to bite him?

After walking in this gloomy place for a while, Zhang Chao also saw several seniors who came with him suffering misfortune.

Some were directly killed by the stone pillars erected on the ground, while others were attacked by bugs and died.

Some were even more unlucky. Those who hit the ground head first had their heads smashed into the wall, dying for no apparent reason.

"I really don't know how many people died just by jumping here …" Zhang Chao continuously shook his head, but they were not the main point. The fate of the new students was the key.

After walking aimlessly for half an hour, Zhang Chao finally saw a few people who were still alive and he moved along with them.

They had a rough understanding of the general situation of this place.

If he wasn't mistaken, the terrain here was strange, but because it was dark all year round, there was also a mysterious power here that formed astral winds that were constantly blowing about.

If one looked carefully, it would be easy to see that this place must have been formed tens of thousands of years ago. It should have been a part of the earth above.

For some unknown reason, this place had sunk in. Furthermore, with the passage of time, this place had been reduced to such a terrain.

When Zhang Chao and the others arrived at a depression, they had already gathered nearly twenty people.

Among these twenty people, there were two who were experts in transformational stage, and thus became the backbone of everyone.

The depression in front of him was very large and was several zhang deep. It looked like it was a lake a long time ago.

At the very bottom, there were some bones of fish scattered around, but not a single insect could be seen.

"Strange, this place is filled with poisonous bugs, why is there not a single one in this depression?" It's very abnormal! " A student rubbed his chin as he asked doubtfully.

"Could it be that there is something below that even the venomous bugs are afraid of?"

"Hmm, it's very possible. Although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the whereabouts of the freshmen, it's still worth investigating. If we find out the secret that the poisonous bugs do not dare to approach, our journey here will be smoother!"

Everyone agreed. After all, expelling the venomous bugs on the way was too disheartening. Those squirming creatures were practically everywhere, and some of them were so fast that it was hard to guard against them.

Although getting bitten wasn't a big deal, after all, everyone's cultivation level wasn't low, but they couldn't take a hit from a sniper!

"Alright, since no one has any objections, let's go down and take a look!" An expert of transformational stage rolled up her sleeves and then leaped down from the edge of the depression.

After he landed steadily on the ground, a few other people also jumped down.

However, Zhang Chao did not move.

He had the nagging feeling that something was wrong.

Stealthily using his left eye, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden in the soil at the center of the depression. However, since it was too far away and the light was dim, he couldn't make out what it was.

However, the more he thought about it, the more dangerous this place became.

This intense sense of danger enveloped his heart in an instant.

"What are you still looking at? "Come down quickly!" At this time, everyone had already descended into the depression, and a few of them turned around to shout at Zhang Chao.

"No, that's not right. Everyone, hurry up!" Zhang Chao suddenly trembled, and immediately shouted.

He saw that there was a mass of something underneath the center of the depression that was beginning to move!

"Zhang Chao, what's wrong? This is incomparably flat, and there's nothing here at all! " Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, the people who jumped down first had almost reached the center of the depression.

Suddenly, the entire ground violently crumbled, and a pair of huge claws extended from the ground, immediately slicing apart that expert with transformational stage!

Blood spurted out!

That pair of claws was over three meters long, and it was pitch black, shining brightly. It was filled with a thick baleful aura, and after cutting off the transformational stage expert, the other one smacked down!

"Boom!" The earth trembled, and four or five experts were instantly smashed into mincemeat.

"Heavens …" "Heavens, what monster is that?"

"Run, run!" When the others saw this, their blood ran cold. They quickly turned around and ran away.

However, following closely behind was another incomparably large tail that had a crimson hook on it. With a sudden thrust, several people's chests were pierced through.

Immediately after, the monster that was hiding underground appeared. It was actually an incomparably large black scorpion.

The scorpion opened its mouth, and its fangs moved up and down, spitting out a cloud of black gas. After enveloping everyone, it sucked with force!

Screams could be heard endlessly. Everyone's flesh and blood instantly rotted and turned into pus.

As for the pus, it was all swallowed up by the scorpion, only leaving behind a pair of bones with different postures.

However, the scorpion did not seem to plan to let go of these bones. Like a dessert, it used its large claws to pick up the bones one by one and threw them into its mouth.

The ground had been cleared out and there was no sign of anyone stepping on it!

"Roar!" But the scorpion seemed to be unsatisfied, and looked at Zhang Chao who was still above the depression.

Zhang Chao swallowed his saliva, feeling his entire body turn cold.

He finally understood.

Why was this place so clean? There were no traces of poisonous insects at all.

There were so many monsters lurking below, how could any poisonous bugs dare to approach?

Or perhaps, this place was the scorpion's territory, and it was hiding underground, waiting for its prey to appear.

It was unknown how many people had entered this place before, but they were all ambushed by it. They became its food, and not even its bones remained.

And now, this monster had already set its sights on him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The monster's body crawled out from the ground. It shook off the dirt on its body and waved its two claws, eyeing and moving forward like a tiger with its eyes fixed on its prey.

Zhang Chao tried to take two steps back, but suddenly swung the scorpion's tail. From the scarlet poison needle, it shot out a poisonous liquid behind Zhang Chao.

"Zi la!" Smoke rose, accompanied by a stench.

Behind him, a hole the size of a watermelon was actually corroded on the ground!

"F * ck, are you trying to warn me not to run away?" Zhang Chao was drenched in cold sweat as he licked his lips and muttered to himself, "If I were to clash head on, how would I be a match for this monster? Even the seniors of transformational stage were killed by it … "

"Brother Yuan Zongyi, didn't you say that the first floor doesn't have any dangers? Back then, I'm afraid you have never seen this big bug before. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to say such words! "

Run or fight?

Zhang Chao hesitated for a moment.

If he were to run away, he really didn't know what tricks this big guy would use to wait for him.

However, if they were to fight, would it be possible for him to defeat his opponent?

However, that big guy didn't plan to give him too much time to think. With a sudden leap, he leapt up extremely quickly and pounced towards Zhang Chao …
