With a loud crash, the massive war puppet broke through the large iron gate.

"Go in and take a look!" Jiang Yuan ordered Tianhun Tong.

Don't be fooled by the Heavenly Soul Child's powerful physique into thinking it's just a melee machine that relies on strength. It's actually a treasure of soul energy, as evidenced by its performance in Tieling Village.

The Heavenly Soul Child, capable of absorbing souls, has countless uses, but Jiang Yuan has not yet grasped its true essence, thus he cannot unleash its full potential.

"How could there be a wandering soul here?" Jiang Yuan was extremely surprised, because the Heavenly Soul Child's soul energy began to rise when he entered the manor villa.

The Heavenly Soul Child's soul energy is synchronized with Jiang Yuan's divine energy. It not only relies on the Holy Spirit Stone to restore its divine energy, but its free divine energy can also increase its soul energy limit.

"It actually fed back its soul energy to me!"

Jiang Yuan did not act rashly, because this was too strange. The Heavenly Soul Child's soul energy limit kept breaking through, and it had now reached eighty-three. As a result, Jiang Yuan's divine energy also gradually increased. Although the increase was not as exaggerated as the Heavenly Soul Child's, it was a real breakthrough.

"Why don't you go in?" Leng Yue was puzzled by Jiang Yuan's actions.

"etc!"

Jiang Yuan gently pressed down on his hand, and Tianhuntong continued to go deeper. Suddenly, the ground beneath Tianhuntong's feet collapsed. Out of its own will, Tianhuntong leaped back. A large hole in the ground continued to spread out, revealing a shocking scene below.

"hiss!"

All three people in the car gasped in shock.

"What's going on?" Ning Yanlan's body was trembling.

"No wonder it's called the Dead Earthworm!" Jiang Yuan murmured, looking at the scene before him.

An underground world appeared in the open space in front of the manor villa, with a series of crisscrossing passages collapsing one after another, revealing its full appearance.

The passageway was filled with human skeletons!

Just looking at this scene, one can imagine the despair of those humans, being swallowed by the undead earthworm, and then, from the head to the tail of the undead earthworm, finally becoming a skeleton lying in the damp tunnel.

At the end of the passage was a huge pit a hundred meters deep. It was because Tianhun Tong stepped on this spot that the soil on the surface of the pit collapsed.

The scene inside the pit was far more gruesome than those passageways; perhaps calling it a pit is no longer appropriate, a graveyard would be more fitting.

Thousands upon thousands of skeletons were scattered haphazardly in the deep pit, devoid of blood and flesh, as if all digestible parts had been devoured by the monster that had taken over the dungeon.

"Was it those earthworms that caused this mess?"

Even a bloodthirsty warrior like Leng Yue felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

“These must be the people from Refugee Camp No. 9!” Jiang Yuan stared at the ground, which explained why there was such a strong sense of resentment here.

With so many people dying unnaturally, the accumulated resentment could even drive ordinary people insane.

"So, the reason we didn't see a single human corpse when we came in is because those monsters moved all the human corpses here?" Leng Yue guessed.

"This is too cruel!" Ning Yanlan's eyes showed unbearable pain. In the past, the monsters she had seen would at most attack a few people, but the scene in front of her was no longer a small-scale fight between individuals, but involved the slaughter of an entire race.

“There are hundreds of thousands of people in Refugee Camp No. 9. The bodies here should be those who failed to escape in time or who were already killed in action!” Jiang Yuan said, offering his speculation.

Although Refugee Camp Nine is called a refugee camp, it mainly consists of people relocated from other major cities who haven't been designated as safe zones. The fighting power within Refugee Camp Nine is still considerable. If a single seventh-tier lord-level monster could wipe out the entire Refugee Camp Nine, then there would be no point in humanity surviving the cataclysm.

"Where are they? Where could hundreds of thousands of people have gone?" Leng Yue wanted to open the car door and enter the deep pit to check the situation.

"No need to go down and check!" Jiang Yuan called out to Leng Yue, his gaze falling on a villa behind the manor. "Perhaps, the answer we're looking for is there!"

"A villa?"

Leng Yue and Ning Yanlan said in unison.

Jiang Yuan did not provide a specific explanation. The human presence he could sense was extremely faint, so he was unsure whether it was as he had imagined.

The SUV traversed the potholes and headed straight for the villa. Sometimes, when they encountered a pit they couldn't cross, Tianhuntong would simply lift the car over it, so the group quickly approached the villa.

"The aura is coming from underground!" Jiang Yuan looked left and right and locked onto the underground parking garage behind the villa. "Let's go check it out!"

There was a road leading directly to the underground parking garage, so the group drove straight in to save time.

The roller shutter doors of the underground parking garage were completely closed, as if the garage were completely sealed off.

Tianhuntong led the way, and the three of them drove slowly into the underground garage. Because the garage was private, there were not many partitions inside, and the entire garage could be seen at a glance.

"There's no one here!" Ning Yanlan peered out through the glass, her gaze landing on a red sports car. She then remarked, "It's been so long since I've driven. How about we drive that car later?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Ning Yanlan and immediately rejected her suggestion. "You're not driving, you're joking. A flashy sports car is no match for even a tenth of this kind of heavily equipped off-road vehicle."

"There's no sign of monsters here, let's get out of the car!"

The first thing Jiang Yuan did after getting out of the car was to protect Ning Yanlan. After the three of them got out of the car, they wandered around the garage. Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "Something's not right. I could definitely sense a human presence here before! How come it's gone in such a short time?"

"Look there!" Leng Yue pointed, seemingly having discovered something fishy.
