Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm and followed behind the Bladefoot Worms secretly. The Bladefoot Worms encountered a few search teams along the way, but they were not suspected.
Just like that, Lin Huang and the rest advanced with an unusually smooth journey.
Over an hour later, Lan Ling finally spoke excitedly.
"I see the exit!"
However, her excitement only lasted for a moment before her expression suddenly changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Huang and the rest noticed her abnormality immediately.
"There's a Bug Tribe guarding the exit …" Lan Ling told them the results of her investigation with the curse, "I'm not sure about its combat strength, but its aura is very powerful."
Virtuoso and the rest's expressions immediately turned grim, although this was to be expected.
"I'll send the Bladefoot Worms over to take a look first. We'll discuss this after we've ascertained its combat strength," Lin Huang suggested.
Virtuoso and the rest nodded immediately, agreeing to Lin Huang's suggestion.
Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm to go underground and wait while Lin Huang controlled the Bladefoot Worms to rush toward the exit.
Very soon, the team of six Bladefoot Worms arrived near the exit.
Through the eyes of the Bladefoot Worms, Lin Huang saw a Black Blindbug blocking the exit.
The Black Blindbug was a bug monster that had no vision. However, its sense of hearing was extremely developed, and it had ultrasonic sensing abilities similar to those of bats.
The Black Blind Bug in front of him that had been contaminated by Abyssal energy was even larger in size. It was more than five meters tall, and each of its sixteen blade-like legs was nearly five meters long. They were sharper and colder than the blade-like legs of the Bladefoot Worms.
After the Bladefoot Worms appeared, the Black Blindbug merely turned its head to take a look, and its ultrasonic waves had already identified the Bladefoot Worms' appearances. Realizing that it was one of its own, it turned its head away and stopped paying attention.
Lin Huang immediately controlled the Bladefoot Worms to leave the vicinity of the exit.
"How is it?" Virtuoso asked immediately when they saw that Lin Huang had opened his eyes.
"It's not looking good." Lin Huang shook his head lightly. "The one guarding the exit is a Black Blindbug with ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength."
Virtuoso and the rest's expressions turned even more grim when they heard what Lin Huang said.
"Ninth-rank …" Tu Tong and Lan Ling frowned.
"I'm guessing that the guardians at the other exits might also be ninth-rank. Even if they're not, their abilities might not be any lower than ninth-rank," Lin Huang voiced his speculation.
"Black Blind Bug, are you confident?" At that moment, Saber9 asked Virtuoso, who was next to him, out of the blue.
"I'm not confident." Virtuoso shook their head. "After all, he's a ninth-rank powerhouse. Moreover, those with abnormal senses will have much stronger senses in other aspects. They might even be close to half-step lord-level, so it'll be very difficult to fool them. "
Listening up to this point, Lin Huang roughly understood that the duo's discussion was probably about whether they could rely on Virtuoso's abilities to cast illusions to deceive them. However, Virtuoso gave a negative answer.
"Let's look for the next exit," Saber9 said to Lin Huang without hesitation when he heard this answer.
Lin Huang nodded as well and immediately ordered the Bladefoot Worms to head to the next nearest exit.
Unable to take the exit that was right in front of them, Lin Huang and the rest were in low spirits. Faced with a powerful Black Blind Bug guarding the exit, they could not force their way through, so they could only choose to take a detour.
Although the other exits might also be guarded by Bug Tribe powerhouses of the same level, there was still a chance they could take advantage of. Even if they were only slightly weaker, the chances of Lin Huang and the rest successfully escaping would greatly increase.
After receiving Lin Huang's new order, the team of Bladefoot Worms moved forward. Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm and continued to follow them stealthily.
Along the way, Lin Huang and the rest could clearly see that there were more and more bug groups joining the search.
The team of Bladefoot Worms would encounter another search team almost every few minutes. Fortunately, none of the teams noticed anything unusual about this team of Bladefoot Worms.
Just like that, Lin Huang and the rest followed the team of Bladefoot Worms stealthily for most of the day without being noticed. That was until the team of Bladefoot Worms encountered a mixed team made up of various Bug Tribes.
The mixed team had an average combat strength of middle-rank. There was a Demonic Sonic Bug that was adept at scouting, two Iron Blood Bugs that were adept at combat, a Diamond Beetle with powerful defense, and two Demon King Spiders with control techniques.
The mixed team did not have much of a reaction when they encountered the team of Bladefoot Worms.
However, after passing by the team of Bladefoot Worms, the Demonic Sonic Bug suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Lin Huang and the rest did not expect to encounter such a team by accident.
To prevent any unexpected changes from occurring due to the long distance between them, Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm to follow the team of Bladefoot Worms very closely.
Therefore, when the Bladefoot Worms saw the mixed team, the Boa Worm was less than 30 meters away from them.
Although Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm to stop in time, Lin Huang and the rest were rather anxious.
This was because apart from being adept at soundwave attacks, the Demonic Sonic Bug was also a bug beast with scouting abilities. It could hear the tiniest sounds in its surroundings, including breathing and heartbeats.
After the mixed team and the team of Bladefoot Worms passed by each other, the Demonic Sonic Bug suddenly stopped not far above them. Everyone's hearts clenched.
The Demonic Sonic Bug raised its head high and stared at the spot where the Boa Worm was lurking. It seemed to be ready to sound an alarm.
At this moment, the team of Bladefoot Worms suddenly let out a low, warning cry.
The Demonic Sonic Bug and the rest of the mixed team's bug beasts turned their heads to look at the team of Bladefoot Worms behind them.
In an instant, six blood-red electric arcs appeared out of nowhere in the air and shot toward the six bug beasts in the mixed team.
By the time the six bug beasts realized that something was amiss, it was already too late. The six electric arcs pierced through the heads of the six bug beasts with incredible precision. The entire process of killing them was over in less than half a second.
When they saw Lin Huang retract his telekinetic flying daggers, Saber9 and the rest had strange looks in their eyes.
"Even a sixth-rank Heavenly God was killed instantly …" Lan Ling's eyes widened.
"Not only that, but two sixth-rank Heavenly Gods," Tu Tong added from the side.
Saber9 was not concerned about this. He exclaimed, "You're also a psychic?!"
Virtuoso was the only one who did not seem surprised by Lin Huang's abilities.
Lin Huang did not respond to their exclamations. Instead, he said calmly to Lan Ling, "Get the Boa Worm to drag the carcasses down. Otherwise, the other search teams will discover them very soon."
Lan Ling nodded immediately. She controlled the Boa Worm to drag the six bug carcasses underground and clean up the bloodstains.
After cleaning up the crime scene as quickly as possible, the few of them did not linger where they were.
Lin Huang continued to control the Bladefoot Worms to search for the exit, while Lan Ling continued to control the Boa Worm to follow behind the team of Bladefoot Worms. However, she had learned her lesson this time. She increased the distance between them from the original twenty meters to fifty meters. Not only that, but she also got the Boa Worm to lurk even deeper.
