"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss …" A strange and deep sound came from the terrifying mouths of the ferocious-looking blood worms. In the gaps between the many sharp and fine teeth, one could vaguely see a snake-like tongue rolling around. A few drops of venomous saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths. Those green eyes stared at Lu Chen as if they were not looking at a person, but a walking lump of flesh and blood food.
Lu Chen's pupils constricted slightly. Of course, this was not the first time he had seen this kind of strange and terrifying creature. The last time he saw this kind of blood worm was when he was on the Kunlun Mountain.
Lu Chen clearly remembered that it should be close to the night of the full moon. When he felt the strong but unexpectedly familiar power in the depths of the Kunlun Mountain, he thought that all the blood worms had disappeared after the night of the full moon. But now it seemed that he was obviously wrong. Some kind of power had reappeared in the Immortal City and brought this kind of terrifying creature again.
What he did not know now was whether something strange had happened in the Immortal City or whether some kind of power from the Kunlun Mountain had come here.
The next moment, Lu Chen almost instantly remembered the time when he went to the forbidden area of the Kunlun Mountain. In the dark underground world between the clouds, he had encountered an almost unimaginable black dragon that used the power of the Kunlun Seal. If he didn't guess wrongly, perhaps he was the one who brought the black dragon from Kunlun Mountain to the Immortal City.
The Kunlun Seal was then handed over to Perfected Lord Tian Lan. Since then, Lu Chen had never seen the Kunlun Seal again. Of course, he had never seen the black dragon again. Now it seemed that during this period of time, the black dragon did not hide in the dark anymore. Instead, it stood out. As for what it had done, Lu Chen still had no idea.
"Hiss hiss …" Accompanied by a strange chirping sound, the few Blood Worms seemed to be unable to resist the temptation of fresh meat. They opened their mouths and opened their eyes wide. Then, without any visible movement, these Blood Worms leaped up from the ground and shot towards Lu Chen like arrows that reeked of blood.
Looking at those ferocious mouths with sharp teeth in midair, if they were to land on a body of flesh and blood, it was almost unimaginable what would happen next.
Lu Chen's expression was solemn as he stared at the blood worms that were charging towards him. His expression was grave, but there was no fear in his eyes. He took a step back. At the same time, two balls of black flames burned in his eyes.
"Pu!" Like a sharp knife piercing through leather, there was even a layer of trembling ripples in the air. In the blink of an eye, the fastest Blood Worm had already reached in front of Lu Chen.
However, when it was two to three feet away from Lu Chen, Lu Chen suddenly stretched out his right hand. His five fingers formed a claw and his arm quickly appeared like a ghost, directly grabbing the body of the Blood Worm.
The Crimson Worm started to wriggle, but before it could turn around and bite the hand, a ball of black flames gushed out from the palm and engulfed the Crimson Worm.
"Zhi …" A sharp and hair-raising scream was instantly heard from the ball of black flames.
The Blood Worm desperately twisted its body in the black flames, as if it was crazy and wanted to get rid of this terrifying nightmare. However, its body was firmly grabbed by the black flames. Then, the black flames burned mercilessly. In just a short while, the Blood Worm's skin and flesh were torn open, and then it directly melted.
Yes, this strange, mysterious, and terrifying Blood Worm was completely melted in the black flames.
"Hiss hiss hiss …" At this moment, the other Blood Worms also rushed over at this moment. Lu Chen's face darkened, and he did not retreat anymore. He threw away the burnt Blood Worm in his hand and waved his hands continuously. Instead of retreating, he advanced. The black flames burned wildly in the air, instantly swallowing several Blood Worms. Ear-piercing screams were heard continuously, and it made one's scalp tingle.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the ferocious Crimson Bugs were burned to death by the black fire. The remaining two Crimson Bugs saw that the situation was not good, so they forced themselves to stop, turned around in mid-air, and fled frantically to the side. However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side. It was Ah-Tu.
Atsu growled in a low voice, and its blood-red eyes flickered strangely. It opened its mouth wide, and with a cry, it actually directly bit the two Blood Worms in mid-air.
Lu Chen was shocked. Just as he was about to warn Atsu to be careful, he saw that after Atsu landed on the ground, it turned around and looked at him with its mouth fiercely biting. After a short while, a stream of blood flowed out of its mouth, and the cries and squeaks of the Blood Worms quickly disappeared.
Black Dog, who was eating the Blood Worms, looked even more terrifying with blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Lu Chen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After a moment of silence, he retracted his hands, and the black flames in his palms quietly extinguished. The Blood Worms fell to the ground one after another, looking like candles that had been burned by a raging fire …
Lu Chen looked at Atsu, and Atsu stared back at him with blood dripping from its mouth.
The long street regained its silence again. The two of them just stared at each other, and there was a faint atmosphere of confrontation between them. After an unknown period of time, suddenly, there was a moment when they both shifted their gazes at the same time and looked forward together.
Lu Chen strode forward, with Ah-Tu by his side. Just like they had done countless times in the past, they walked together into the unknown, inseparable, inseparable, never to be separated.
…
The little bird in his arms had quietened down, and it did not make a sound for a long time. Lu Chen reached into his arms and gently touched it. Under its soft feathers, the little bird's body was still warm, and he could still feel its heartbeat.
Although it was fragile, it was still tenaciously alive.
Perhaps the death of the Blood Worms had calmed the little bird down, or perhaps it was because Lu Chen's warmth had finally made the little thing trust and rely on him for a long time. It began to get used to Lu Chen's aura, and it no longer struggled or moved around.
Lu Chen and Atsu continued to walk in this Immortal City that had suddenly become empty. In front of him, there seemed to be a fog and an unknown and mysterious future. When he was still on Mount Heavenly Dragon and walked to the outside of Kunlun Palace, the reason why he did not enter the palace was because he acutely sensed that there seemed to be an extremely terrifying power hidden in the darkness of the palace. That cold killing intent caused him to shrink back at the sight of it.
That was probably an instinctive sense of vigilance that arose from his many years of being a shadow.
That was not the aura of Perfected Lord Tianlan, but another force.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen decisively chose to leave and go down the mountain without hesitation. Indeed, as he had guessed, the Immortal City and Sky Dragon Mountain were one, and the strange phenomenon on the mountain was not spared at the foot of the mountain.
Things were getting stranger and stranger.
Lu Chen decided to go to Horse Washing Bridge first. If he remembered correctly, there was an injured White Lotus in that house.
