"No way! What's going on?"

As the SUV approached, the outline of Refugee Camp No. 9 gradually came into view: rows of tin-roofed houses leaning precariously, as if trampled by some enormous wild beast.

“They didn’t survive the beast tide!” Leng Yue didn’t stop the car rashly, but kept circling around the area near Refugee Camp No. 9.

If there are a large number of monsters in Camp Nine, they can quickly escape by car in the first instance.

"Why isn't there a single corpse here?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled, because this phenomenon was too abnormal.

Logically, those who fail to survive the beast tide will inevitably be left behind, with many unable to escape. In the face of such a catastrophe as the beast tide, being alone almost guarantees no survival. Although monsters have a habit of eating corpses, no matter how much they eat, they will still leave behind some remains.

Now, this place is exceptionally clean.

"The people here must have made a planned retreat, otherwise the battlefield wouldn't be so clean!" Ning Yanlan said.

Monsters don't have the habit of cleaning up the battlefield, and the fleeing refugee camp No. 9 is even less likely to clean up the battlefield; they don't even have time to escape!

"Let's go inside and take a look!" Jiang Yuan frowned and pointed in a direction.

Leng Yue had the same idea, and after observing the surroundings, she drove inside.

Jiang Yuan wasn't pointing randomly; Shi Zhixi sensed human presence in that direction, which was why he went there.

There was a deathly silence. If it weren't for the stench of blood everywhere, no one would doubt that this place was a bustling human gathering place just a few days ago.

"There's a monster ahead, everyone be careful!" Jiang Yuan habitually and secretly cast a Holy Spirit Protection spell to ensure Ning Yanlan had enough time.

Leng Yue knew how terrifying Jiang Yuan was along the way, and had been preparing for battle since hearing his reminder. On the other hand, Ning Yanlan was willing but powerless, as her condition was simply not good enough to support any battle.

Her current vitality is entirely due to the protection of the Holy Spirit, which is the ten points of divine power given by Jiang Yuan. Using spiritual power rashly would shorten her lifespan by one hour and extend her lifespan by another.

The car had entered the center of Refugee Camp No. 9. Here, tin-roofed houses were very rare, and villas had become the main architectural style.

"Oh no, the monster is underground!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't probe too deep underground; he only realized what was happening when the monster was within three meters of the surface.

Leng Yue reacted extremely quickly. She swerved the car, changing its original direction, and drove it towards the thickest part of the concrete.

With a loud crash, the paving stones two meters in front of the vehicle were blown off and hurtled towards the SUV like cannonballs.

Bang, bang, bang! The dull impacts caused varying degrees of dents in the already extremely sturdy vehicle body, and at that moment, the monster that had torn the ground apart revealed its true form.

"earthworm!"

Jiangyuan Sky Eye directly detects.

Undead Earthworm, Tier 7 Lord Monster, Strength: 180, Soul Energy: 184, Advanced Talent: Regeneration.

Note: The undead earthworms that feed on rotting corpses have begun to possess undead power.

"Advanced talent!" Jiang Yuan was shocked. This was the first monster he had ever seen with an advanced talent, and the name of the talent was "Regeneration Advanced Talent," which showed how abnormal the talent was.

"What a powerful monster!" Ning Yanlan sat up straight, no longer daring to underestimate it. Clearly, she had also seen the strength of the suddenly appearing monster with her Eye of Insight.

"You can't escape at this speed, get out of the car!"

Leng Yue's expression was stern, and in an instant she regained the aura of a former iron-blooded soldier. However, this time she had no heavy weapons and could only fight hand-to-hand with a knife.

"Heavenly Soul Child, protect her!"

Jiang Yuan carried Ning Yanlan out and handed her over to Tianhun Tong for protection, while he charged towards the location where the undead earthworm had appeared, gun in hand.

"Be careful!" Ning Yanlan knew her current state well; it would be good enough if she didn't cause any trouble, let alone help.

Jiang Yuanfeng arrived a step ahead of Leng Yue. He said to Leng Yue in a deep voice, "Be careful. This monster is no weaker than an eighth-tier monster!"

A Tier 7 dual-elemental lord monster, and with its energy points maintained at nearly 200, is already comparable to an Tier 8 monster.

The once flat ground began to collapse after the two stepped on it, and deep, bottomless holes appeared around them.

"Under your feet!"

Jiang Yuan remained still, but communicated with Leng Yue through the ring he had obtained earlier.

As expected of a seasoned veteran, Leng Yue showed no sign of alerting the enemy upon hearing this, but she was already on high alert.

With a boom, a ferocious head burst out of the ground. Calling it a head might not be accurate; it was more like a large cylinder with a diameter of two meters and two sharp mouthparts, each one meter long, in the middle.

"You beast, I've been waiting for you for ages!" Leng Yue was already prepared. The moment the undead earthworm emerged from the ground, she took two steps to the side, then pulled out a grenade from somewhere, pulled the pin, and shoved it into the mouth of the undead earthworm.

"Big sister, don't use grenades!" Jiang Yuan panicked. If the undead earthworm was killed by a grenade, he would lose the core reward. Even if the injury level was less than 50%, it was still only a 50% probability, so he still couldn't gamble.

Leng Yue didn't take it seriously at all, and simply said, "Such a monster is beyond human power to defeat. I think the grenade's power is too weak!"

The undead earthworm's attack missed, but the grenade had already detonated inside its belly with a loud bang. The expected rupture of its intestines did not occur. The undead earthworm merely shuddered and then continued its attack without any apparent harm.

"Impossible!" Leng Yue's expression changed. She couldn't believe that a high-explosive weapon like a grenade hadn't exerted its expected power inside the narrow belly of the undead earthworm.

"A seventh-tier monster comparable to an eighth-tier monster, I suggest you call for air support!" Jiang Yuan gripped his gun tightly, managing to crack a joke to ease the tension.

With a rumble, the ground shook, and Leng Yue was thrown three or four meters away by the churning mud, while the undead earthworm revealed its full form.

With a diameter of two meters and a length of nearly thirty meters, the diameter of the clitellum even reaches more than three meters. Its entire body is covered with a viscous fluid, which drips onto the ground and directly corrodes the gravel. This is an earthworm that has become a spirit.

The undead earthworm wriggled, its ferocious mandibles about to swallow Leng Yue, who couldn't dodge in time.

"Lightning Strike!" Leng Yue hadn't expected this monster to be so powerful. Instead of being killed by the explosion, it was directly aimed at taking her life. So, without any hesitation, she immediately activated her skill.

As powerful energy surged into her body, Leng Yue's rationality in fighting calmly was weakened, and her bestial nature gradually took over her consciousness.

The sixth-tier Deadly Blade charged towards the undead earthworm that was spitting foul-smelling saliva.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan could no longer stand idly by. He used his Wind Step to step onto the body of the undead earthworm and thrust his spear straight into its mouthparts.

"Double the stealth kills!"

The spear moved like a dragon. Before Leng Yue's blade even reached the undead earthworm, Jiang Yuan had already plunged the God-Slaying Spear into its body. Although compared to the undead earthworm's thirty-meter length, the God-Slaying Spear was just a tiny toothpick.

roar!

With a roar, the earthworm, which originally had no vocal organs, suddenly let out an angry howl, and the high-frequency sound waves swept across a radius of ten miles.

"Damn it, this guy's calling for 'underlings'!"
