Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Although this so-called "Spirit-Fearing Earth Dragon" was called an "earth dragon", in his opinion, it was just a giant worm with no eyes or nose on its head, only a big mouth that constantly swallowed and spit out scarlet tentacles.

It has a hairless body and is made up of a series of rings.

Looking closely, there seem to be countless sharp teeth in those circular grooves, which look sharp and dangerous.

Many tentacles extended from its mouth, chewing and swallowing the nearby rocks and sending them into its body.

I think this is how the giant worms can move freely among the rocks.

After the spirit-fearing earth dragon emerged from the rock wall, it stretched out its huge body wantonly, and many stones and soil were shaken off, as if it was raining earth and stones.

Fortunately, it was still some distance away from Anle and the others, so the aftermath they felt was not strong, only the ground was shaking continuously.

Hiss—hiss—

The cries of earth dragons rang out one after another.

But then Anle discovered that apart from the strange nature of the sound itself, there was not much malice in its cry. Instead, it seemed a bit... cheerful and relaxed?

It’s like the feeling of a student who has been depressed in school for several days and finally gets a three-day vacation.

Anle had a guess in his mind: "Could it be that it just wants to come out of the rock to get some fresh air?"

The behavior of the spirit-fearing earth dragon seemed to confirm Anle's thoughts.

It shook its huge body happily, opened its mouth wide, and breathed in the air from the outside world happily, with its tentacles constantly extending out and retracting.

This posture is very much like a big dog sticking out its tongue to dissipate heat.

However, what seemed like just a playful act to it caused tremendous damage to the surrounding environment. Piece after piece of rock collapsed, and huge rubble fell like raindrops, hitting the ground at the bottom and forming several deep pits.

Some monsters were unable to dodge in time, and were either crushed to death by the huge rocks, or unfortunately tied up by the tentacles that stretched out wantonly, and then sent into the terrifying big mouth.

Among them there are many third-order monsters that are equivalent to Jindan monks.

Apparently, this spirit-fearing earth dragon doesn't mind having a few snacks while taking a breath.

Not long after, the giant worm drilled back into the rock, leaving behind a huge tunnel, and its body gradually moved away and disappeared from sight.

The shaking of the earth and rock walls gradually subsided.

Only then did Anle and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

"so close……"

Jiang Junliang's tense nerves finally relaxed, his face full of surprise at surviving the disaster.

"Luckily this earth dragon is not in hunting season, otherwise we probably wouldn't have survived."

Cheng Yuemei still had some fear in her heart and couldn't help asking.

"Just now... my spiritual power seemed to be out of control? Is this also the ability of the earth dragon?"

"Yes."

Jiang Junliang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "This is also the real horror of the Spirit-Fearing Earth Dragon."

"It can even devour a cultivator's...realm."

Anle raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Realm?"

This was the first time he had heard of the ability to swallow realms.

"That's right. There were cultivators who came into close contact with the Fearful Earth Dragon and fell from the fifth level of the Golden Core to the third level of the Golden Core. Some were even worse, falling from the Golden Core to the Foundation Establishment stage, and could not make any progress for the rest of their lives."

"This is why people are so afraid of the Fearful Earth Dragon."

Cheng Yuemei was also very curious: "Where did the cultivation that was swallowed by it go?"

Jiang Junliang shook his head: "I don't know either, but some people say that it was absorbed by the earth dragon, and some people say that the earth dragon will spit out these cultivations and randomly bestow them on those who are destined to have it."

"But I've been in Urobuchi for so long, and I've never heard of anyone accepting a gift from an earth dragon."

"On the contrary, during the years when I served in Xuyuan, there was a saying that anyone who encountered a spirit-fearing earth dragon had extremely bad luck and was despised by the heavens."

Jiang Junliang was obviously feeling a little self-pitying, and sighed, "I'm afraid... you're talking about people like me, right?"

He was hit by his recent encounters and thought it was his bad luck that brought him into so much danger.

Hearing this, Anle had a strange expression on his face.

'That's true!'

But Jiang Junliang was obviously overthinking it. Anle was a genuine "forsaken person". In terms of bad luck, he was still far from it!

However, the appearance of the spirit-fearing earth dragon also sounded the alarm for Anle.

"The danger level of this Xuyuan is probably far greater than that of the Gu Family Mountains. There are countless creatures like earth dragons, so we still have to be extra careful."

Suddenly, Anle noticed that Ye Ling'er was staring at the direction where the Spirit-Fearing Earth Dragon left, and seemed to be saying something.

"Second Senior Sister?"

Anle listened carefully and heard Ye Ling'er mumbling to herself.

"This bug is so fat, it must taste delicious, right?"

"If I could just take a bite... slurp..."

As she spoke, Ye Ling'er swallowed subconsciously, looking extremely greedy.

Anle: "..."

Even though Second Senior Sister has become thinner, her nature has not changed at all.

"Junior brother, I'm so hungry... do you have anything to eat?"

Noticing Anle's gaze, Ye Ling'er immediately turned her head away, with a pitiful expression on her pretty face and a pair of big eyes that were watery and sad.

There are probably few people in the world who can withstand such an attack.

An Le couldn't help but feel soft-hearted: "I still have some monster meat in my storage bag, Senior Sister, you can take it and eat it first!"

"Great!"

Ye Ling'er jumped up with joy, hugged Anle and started spinning around.

"Junior brother is the best!"

"Senior sister, I really did love you for real!"

Anle struggled for a while, but found that the power transmitted from the two arms on his body was so heavy that he could not resist at all and could only accept the current situation helplessly.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yuemei and the other person had different expressions.

Cheng Yuemei's eyes were filled with envy: "So this is the relationship between them?"

"Now they are considered a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Her mind suddenly opened up, and she imagined many plots that didn't exist at all: "Wait, could it be that the two of them had already been together before? Fellow Daoist An didn't mind that body shape at all, and after Senior Ye lost weight, he completed a gorgeous transformation, and the lovers finally got married... This is very much like the plot in a vernacular novel."

Jiang Junliang thought: "I heard that Daoyou An has many female confidantes, even his senior sister..."

He glanced at Anle's handsome face and felt that it was natural.

Anle had no idea what the two were thinking.

He was suppressed by Ye Ling'er's tremendous strength and had no power to fight back. At the same time, he felt the chill coming from Xiao Xiaohong behind him and felt extremely tortured.

******

Soon.

Most of the monster meat in Anle's storage bag was eaten up by Ye Ling'er.

Even so, she still seemed unsatisfied and went on to make a request to Jiang Junliang and the other man.

Whether it was the previous life-saving grace or the strength displayed by Ye Ling'er, the two had no reason to refuse.

The inventory of the two Jindan cultivators was still much richer than Anle's, and it temporarily and barely filled Ye Ling'er's appetite.

Ye Ling'er sat in front of the empty food cauldron, her eyes were melancholy and her expression was gloomy. She touched her flat belly and muttered to herself, "I'm only one-tenth full, but I still want to eat meat..."

Jiang Junliang and the other man had dazed expressions on their faces, not knowing what to say.

If they hadn't known Ye Ling'er's identity as a glutton, they would never have believed that such a tall woman could eat up most of their food reserves by herself, with her belly flat without the slightest undulation.

Where did all the food go!?

Anle, who was standing by, realized that they had two urgent tasks at the moment.

The first is to find the base of Taixu Palace and leave Xuyuan as soon as possible.

The second is to fill Ye Ling'er's stomach!

To this end, Jiang Junliang put forward a suggestion.

"Are you sure... this method is feasible?"

Anle frowned, his eyes full of suspicion.

Jiang Junliang affirmed: "It's absolutely true!"

Ye Ling'er beside him also became interested and responded, "Junior brother, I think this method will work! There is no need for Brother Jiang to lie to us."

Since the senior sister has spoken, Anle naturally has no reason to refuse.

After flying for a short distance, they arrived at...

In the corridor opened up by the spirit-fearing earth dragon.

This is exactly the method proposed by Jiang Junliang.

The corridor is deep and you can't see the end at a glance. You can only barely see that it leads to the depths of the abyss.

There was still a faint lingering strange smell of worms in the air, making it impossible for the spiritual power to remain calm.

Looking at the bottomless corridor, Anle felt an inexplicable ominous premonition in his heart. It was like a big open mouth, waiting for the prey to walk into it.

Feeling this pressure, Jiang Junliang's face also turned slightly pale, but he spoke firmly.

"Believe me, this method works!"

"It is precisely because the earth dragon passed through here that it left this aura. Other monsters and aliens dare not easily set foot here. This is how we can reach the depths of the Abyss faster."

According to Jiang Junliang, the deeper Urobuchi goes, the closer he gets to the core area.

Taixu Palace divided the abyss into five layers according to different depths, from shallow to deep: stars, moon, sun, earth, and sky.

The danger levels of the first three levels are almost the same, each has its own characteristics, and is still within an acceptable range.

Starting from the abyss, the danger suddenly changed qualitatively, and it became difficult for ordinary Jindan cultivators to survive in it.

Therefore, most of the Taixu Palace’s strongholds are located on the Riyuen level.

Anle and his three companions are still in Xingyuan. If they want to go deeper quickly, using the tunnel built by the earth dragon is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Moreover, the Spirit-Fearing Earth Dragon has always been the subject of research for many cultivators in the Taixu Palace. We may be able to take this opportunity to encounter them."

The reasons Jiang Junliang gave were very sufficient and Anle found it difficult to refuse.

He looked at Ye Ling'er not far away.

Smelling the scent left by the worm, Second Senior Sister was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked extremely excited and eager to try.

Anle had no doubt that if the Spirit-Fearing Earth Dragon appeared in front of Ye Ling'er again, she would definitely try to take a bite.

'Oh, I hope everything goes well.'

With a very heavy heart, Anle stepped into the corridor, and his figure was gradually swallowed by the shadows.

******

Taixu Palace.

Gujia Mountains.

The light of the teleportation array flashed, and Jiang Yun slowly opened her eyes. A pair of long legs wrapped in ice silk evil-repelling stockings flipped off the back of the spirit beast and fell in mid-air, standing tall and slender, looking exceptionally tall and attractive.

Beside her, there were several disciples from Taixu Palace.

There are disciples from aristocratic families, as well as monks who join through trials.

Although some hidden contradictions within Taixu Palace have intensified to a certain extent, there are always some people who are unhappy about this and do not want to act according to the old and corrupt rules.

Jiang Yun is one of them.

She has always believed in promoting people based on their talents, and does not care much about their origin, gender, or family background. She will take the initiative to make friends and help talented people who are in trouble. As a result, she has made a group of like-minded friends and is called "Sister Yun" in the small circle, with the demeanor of a big sister.
