The monster in the second room on the second underground floor was the Bladefoot Worm.
The monster looked like a praying mantis but it had six pairs of legs. The four lower limbs on its abdomen had a powerful jumping ability and grip, allowing it to climb anywhere with ease. The remaining eight upper limbs were used to attack. Each of them was as sharp as a sword and was comparable to an expert-grade relic.
An ordinary bug monster would have a blind spot on its back, but the Bladefoot Worm had no blind spots. Even if its back was attacked, its blade-like legs could still twist back to defend itself. The degree of twisting its blade-like legs was comparable to a yoga master.
There was another ability of the Bladefoot Worm that was often overlooked, which was its wings. The pair of wings on its back was actually a pair of blade-like wings that were as sharp as its blade-like legs. To be exact, the monster did not have eight swords on its body, but ten instead. Many of the hunters who were deceived by the monster's name were killed by its blade-like wings.
It was a monster with speed, explosive power, and an outstanding killing ability.
An adult Bladefoot Worm was almost five meters long and its combat level was basically on blue flame-level. Only a few of them could reach purple flame-level. Among the monsters of the same level, they were the top predators. Their individual abilities could basically be a level higher.
When they saw that the monster in the second room was a Bladefoot Worm, their faces turned pale, especially Li Lang.
He knew very well that it would be difficult for him to fight one of them.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Li, be careful." Yi Zheng turned around and reminded them. Unlike the Bat Demon, the Bladefoot Worm could be killed as soon as it was hit.
Lin Huang and Lancelot stood behind the four of them, looking relaxed. Such a monster could not pique their interest.
"Lin Huang, don't be careless. Get your summoning beasts to be careful. This monster is very fast." Leng Yuexin had no idea about Lin Huang's ability. She frowned and reminded him. She was curious as to why Yi Zheng excluded Lin Huang when he reminded them earlier. Yi Zheng thought that it might be because Lancelot was too powerful and he felt that Lin Huang would be fine under Lancelot's protection.
In reality, Yi Zheng thought that even if Lin Huang was weaker than him, he would not be much weaker. After all, both of them had fought before Lin Huang leveled up to holy fire-level. As a spectator of the battle, Yi Yeyu knew how powerful Lin Huang was. As for Li Lang, he had already seen Lin Huang's strength in the Volcanic Purgatory Ruin. He didn't know how strong Lin Huang was, but he was sure that Lin Huang was much stronger than him. Leng Yuexin was the only one who was worried because she had never seen Lin Huang's ability when he was on gold-level.
"Don't worry about me. Lancelot won't let the monster near me." He then said to Yi Yeyu and Li Lang, "Yeyu, Old Li, both of you guard the entrance. Don't go too deep into the forest." Yi Yeyu and Li Lang nodded.
Li Lang knew that he was not powerful enough, so he did not dare to go further.
Yi Yeyu did not want to give up. She wanted to activate her flame again, but after thinking about it, she decided against it as it would not be as effective as training.
Soon, the Bladefoot Worm sensed the existence of Lin Huang and the rest and pounced towards them.
Yi Zheng and Leng Yuexin were the vanguard as they charged into the monster horde while Yi Yeyu and Li Lang guarded near the entrance. Each of them was fighting a monster.
Under such circumstances, the difference between the four of them could be seen.
The spear in Li Lang's hand had transformed into a three-meter long spear. It was on par with a Bladefoot Worm.
Yi Yeyu only ignited the bloody sword in her hand. She was also locked in a battle with a Bladefoot Demonworm.
Leng Yuexin held a sword in each of her hands. The two opposing attributes of ice and fire were unleashed. She charged into the monster horde and the monsters retreated wherever she passed by.
On the other side, Yi Zheng's sword had already left his hand. He moved his sword like the wind. The sharp sword pierced through the monsters' bodies one after another.
It was obvious that Leng Yuexin and Yi Zheng were going all out this time. Yi Yeyu and Li Lang could not help them in this battle as they could not hold back their abilities like before.
To be honest, Leng Yuexin's dual attributes of ice and fire and Yi Zheng's Sword Manipulation were out of Lin Huang's expectation as he had never seen them use such a technique before.
Leng Yuexin's current battle style was very effective. She usually froze the monsters with ice and killed them with fire. Moreover, the ice sword could be used for defense while the fire sword could be used for attack. However, Lin Huang knew that it was the simplest use of dual attributes. Leng Yuexin must have more powerful techniques.
On the other hand, Lin Huang could not comment on Yi Zheng's Sword Manipulation after witnessing the Sword Manipulation Dominator's technique. When Yi Zheng performed the Sword Manipulation Dominator, Lin Huang was curious as to why he did not get a few more swords. However, when he saw that Yi Zheng could not control one of the swords with ease, he immediately understood that he had high expectations. Yi Zheng's Sword Manipulation Dominator was obviously not a monster skill that he had obtained from the Sword Manipulation Dominator. Instead, he cultivated it himself.
Lin Huang, who had fought with Yi Zheng before, knew very well that it was not Yi Zheng's most powerful technique. However, it was the most effective technique at the moment. The Bladefoot Worms were too fast and it was difficult to kill them with ordinary sword skills.
All of a sudden, one of the Bladefoot Worms gave up on Leng Yuexin and pounced towards Li Lang.
With a powerful explosive force from its hind legs, it appeared in front of Li Lang in an instant. The timing was just right before Li Lang could pull back his giant spear.
"Oh no, I'm going to die!"
In Li Lang's mind, the image of his body being cut into several pieces had already appeared. At this moment, a dark red light flashed, and the head of the Bladefoot Demon Worm that had launched a sneak attack instantly exploded. It was like a watermelon that had been penetrated by a bullet.
Seeing the Bladefoot Worm's dead body falling to the ground, Li Lang could not help but turn his head to look at Lin Huang. Lin Huang was still standing in the corridor behind him with his hands in his pockets while Lancelot took a dried vegetable and put it into his mouth as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, it's not a good habit to be distracted during a battle." Lin Huang's lazy voice was soon heard.
Li Lang then looked away, but he could not calm down for a long time. Although he had long realized that Lancelot was very powerful, he had never experienced it firsthand. Lancelot's attack that killed the Bladefoot Worm in one hit really shocked him. Not only did he not have the chance to fight back, he could not even dodge the attack. This was because Lancelot's attack had pierced through the Bladefoot Worm's head before he could react. It meant that he would be killed in one hit by Lancelot.
"Is Lin Huang a match for Lancelot?" Li Lang could not help but ask this question in his heart. However, in the next second, he gave a negative answer. "After all, Lin Huang is only a white flame-level. He's definitely not a match for Lancelot."
The battle in the second room finally ended after half an hour without any mishaps.
The monsters that tried to attack Li Lang and Yi Yeyu were killed by Lancelot in one hit. The rest of the Bladefoot Worms seemed to have noticed that something was wrong and dared not attack them anymore.
After half an hour of fighting, more than 60 Bladefoot Worms were killed by Yi Zheng and Leng Yuexin.
The Bladefoot Worm's sword legs were quite valuable as they were the main material of a sword relic. The eight sword legs could be sold at the price of two expert-grade relics. It was a great harvest.
