Xuanyuan was almost so pierced by the bright light that he couldn't open his eyes, and subconsciously put a hand on his eyes to block the light a little.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some behemoth moving on the ground in front of me, and a violent friction sound suddenly remembered.

As the distance decreases, the friction sound gets louder and louder. What started out as a slight rustling sound turned into a rapid and piercing "snort" and eventually a loud rumbling.

Xuan Yuan's heart perked up, and he stepped back on his toes a little, but he did not retreat into the underground space. Instead, one hand was placed on the edge of the well, and the other hand was in front of his face to block the light that erupted from the air shield.

After standing firmly, Xuan Yuan tried to move his hand away, wanting to see through the gap between his fingertips to see what kind of monster was inside the purple smoke.

However, except for the bright patch in front of him, Xuanyuan couldn't see anything.

"Huh-" There was another roar, and a large amount of black smoke erupted, hitting the bright yellow gas hood.

Unlike the usual flickering and erratic, the current air hood is still as stable as Mount Tai after being attacked by black smoke. Even, the light on it suddenly shone in bursts, and a wave of qi erupted.

Like a tsunami mountain roaring, the air waves were wrapped in unparalleled momentum, and they dispersed directly to the surroundings, and a large amount of smoke was purified.

However, the wave of air did not go far.

A huge black shadow suddenly flashed in the brightness, directly shattering the qi wave, and then crashing into the air hood itself unabatedly.

"Boom—"

The sky shook and the earth shook, and a large amount of sand and gravel fell from the top of the cave, and the whole cave was almost about to collapse.

Fortunately, with the flickering of the three remnant stone tablets, a trace of bright yellow lines appeared on the walls of the entire cave, consolidating the entire cave and finally stabilizing.

And after the cave stabilized, it seemed to sense the threat of the black shadow in the depths of the smoke, and the three words "town" on the stele were shining brightly, and they were directly separated from the stele. Then, they caught the wind and collided with the black shadow in a daze.

"Whew-" Another sound came into my ears, but this time it was no longer a low roar, but the terrible and sharp howl of a black shadow.

Xuan Yuan couldn't see the scene in front of him, but he felt the intensity of the struggle through the violent shaking on the ground.

After a long while, the light faded. When he opened his eyes, Xuanyuan found that the air shield had once again returned to its original flickering appearance, and around the Bagua Square, purple smoke still blocked all the way out.

It's as if the previous fierce struggle had never happened at all.

It's just that Xuan Yuan looked at the stele carefully, and still found a clue - the three words "town" seem to be a little smaller than before.

It seems that in the conflict just now, the stele did not completely gain the upper hand.

After glancing at the smoke, Xuan Yuan planned to return to the underground space: judging from the current situation, breaking through the smoke was really not a good strategy.

Suddenly, at the moment of turning around, Xuan Yuan caught a glimpse of several foreign objects in the purple smoke. What is this? He paused as he looked at the conspicuous gray-white.

Without hesitation, he threw out two grass seeds again, and with a pinch, the two grass whips were immediately extended, and before they were corroded by the purple smoke, they picked up a gray-white unknown object on the ground.

The moment it passed through the air shield, the gray-white unidentified object suddenly twitched and began to resist violently.

Living thing?Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, mana poured out, and the pale green light on the grass whip immediately became brighter, tightly binding the gray-white object.

In about a breath, a black smoke peeled off from its body, and the gray and white areas suddenly turned pure white.

And as the black aura escaped, it was no longer hindered by the air shield, and the strawwhip was finally able to pull it into the square.

With a slight shake, the white object was easily thrown seven or eight meters in front of Xuan Yuan. At this moment, Xuanyuan finally saw its whole picture clearly.

I have to say that Xuan Yuan was a little surprised.

Whether it was the purple poisonous smoke in front of him, or the violent friction sound he heard before, it all hinted to Xuan Yuan that there was probably a huge poisonous snake hidden in this cave.

However, what was lying on the ground in front of me was just a bug!

The adult thighs are thick, about half a meter long, the whole body is smooth and white, and the tight skin is simply blown!

It's just that although its body is still very intact, in fact, I don't know if it's because of the black qi peeling off, it has no vitality at this moment.

Xuan Yuan looked at the white tender mass and frowned. As soon as the magic in his hand changed, the straw whip swung forward and poked the motionless corpse of the white worm quite hard.

Surprisingly, the whip did not puncture the skin of the white worm. On the other hand, the white worm seems to be like a ball of jelly, shaken back and forth.

Xuan Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he controlled the grass whip to poke at the white worm's corpse again.

However, even though Xuanyuan had increased his efforts again, the epidermis of the white worm's corpse had not been punctured—not even a small opening.

With such a strong defensive power, Xuanyuan was a little unsettled.

Withdrawing the grass soldiers, Xuan Yuan turned around and summoned three blue fireballs, and with a wave of his big hand, he smashed into the corpse of the white worm on the ground.

"Bang-" The blue fireball exploded, setting off a small wave of heat.

When the fire disappeared, what appeared in front of Xuanyuan's eyes was still the intact corpse of the white worm.

"Huh?" Xuanyuan's eyes froze, and at a certain moment just now, he seemed to see red and black. Could it be his own delusion? Xuan Yuan didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence.

Raising his right hand, a blue flame appeared out of thin air, flying towards the white insect under Xuanyuan's control.

Without the interference of the fire and the waves, this time, at the moment when the flames hit the white insect, Xuan Yuan clearly saw the red and black lines that appeared on the white insect's epidermis - the same as the red and black on the vines!

What is the connection between the two?

Vines, insects, red and black......

A thought flashed in Xuan Yuan's mind, perhaps, the two of them were once attached to the same object.

Approaching the dead white worm, Xuanyuan observed its appearance.

The middle of the body is rounded, the ends are cone-shaped, and the teeth are tiny. If you scale it to the size of your finger, it won't look like an ordinary tree bug!

Thinking of the withered giant tree in the underground space, Xuan Yuan was stunned, the white insect in front of him was really a giant tree worm?

If the thing in the depths of the smoke was really a giant tree worm race, then the previous few rumbling noises should have been caused by it—if so, its size could not be described as just huge, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it terrifying!
