After being injured, the serpent's ferocity was fully unleashed. Its body twisted violently, causing the ground to undulate like waves. The cave began to shake, and various cracks appeared on the ceiling, with sand and soil falling down as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Because of the immense strength of this worm, Yu Yanluo couldn't hold on to it and was thrown away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zaun summoned a poisoned dagger and plunged it in.
The strange insect's body was as hard as armor, as evidenced by the fact that the Paper Bride's attack had even sparked.
However, even the hardest outer shell could not stop the poisonous, black blade inside the dagger, which sliced through it as easily as cutting tofu.
One second the worm was causing the earth to shake, the next it convulsed, and then its whole body went limp and it fell heavily to the ground.
Kong Qing, who was in the distance, was taken aback. He knew that although his attack had injured the monster, it was difficult to seriously damage it, let alone kill it.
How did that kid from Zuan manage to do that?
Just then, a scream rang out. Everyone turned around and saw that the night elf had tried to escape, but when he passed the cave entrance, he was bitten by a strange insect that suddenly jumped out of the wall.
Although it would take a long time to describe everything, from the moment the strange insect attacked Zaun Jade Smoke Vine to the moment it was finally killed by the poisoned dagger, it only took a few breaths. The night elf was cautiously running away and had just arrived there.
"There's still one left?" Zu An was shocked.
He rushed to Yu Yanluo's side and protected her to prevent her from being attacked.
Yu Yanluo's face turned pale as she nervously looked at the dark elf who was being bitten.
Unlike the venomous child who was caught off guard and bitten, the night elf was on high alert. So, at the last moment, he dodged to the side. Unfortunately, he was injured and his movements were slower than usual.
However, because of his dodge, the strange insect did not bite his torso, but instead bit his right arm.
The night elf struggled desperately, but the opponent's pincer-like mandibles were too sharp and bit off his right hand.
The strange insect could be seen wriggling and swallowing his arm whole.
However, it was clear that one arm was far from enough to satisfy its enormous size.
It lunged forward, trying to bite his entire body.
Its attack speed is as fast as lightning, giving the night elves no chance to dodge.
Those in the distance wondered if they could have dodged at that speed if they were in that situation.
However, the strange insect missed its target, and its two terrifying mandibles collided violently, producing a metallic clang.
The night elf had already blended into the shadows in the blink of an eye, and appeared inside the cave the next second.
He dared not venture further into the dark mine; the path ahead was filled with unknowns and dangers. Being with this group of experts gave him a slight sense of security.
He quickly sealed the acupoints on his right arm wound, stopping the bleeding. Compared to saving his life, losing an arm was nothing.
He looked up at the location of the strange insect, wanting to see what it was that had almost killed him.
However, looking around, the strange insect was nowhere to be seen in that spot.
"Watch out!" came the warning from Zuan nearby.
The night elf immediately felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
Although the two had been enemies before, upon hearing the other's reminder, he dared not have the slightest doubt.
My first instinct was to disappear into the shadows, but I was too late.
With a scream, he was bitten in the waist and almost instantly torn in two.
His lower body was inside the strange insect's mouth, while his upper body fell to the ground. However, he still desperately clung to the ground with his hands, trying to move forward and get as far away from the strange insect as possible.
The scene was so gruesome that even Kong Qing and the paper bride instinctively took a step back.
Zu An made a move. He was worried that Yu Yanluo would also be attacked after he left, so he simply took her with him and rushed over.
He wasn't being overly compassionate and wanting to save the night elf; he was just worried that the strange insect had retreated back underground, making it difficult to find it again.
Judging from its brief exchange with the night elf, this thing seems to be able to teleport in the ground. In addition, it spends most of its time underground, making it unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
Rather than passively defending yourself, it's better to take it down while it's attacking.
Seeing that he moved, Kong Qing also moved, clearly having the same idea.
With someone taking the lead, the Paper Bride was not to be outdone, and together with Yu Yanluo, the attacks of the group were simultaneously directed at the strange insect.
They were all top experts of their time, and in their shock and fear, they showed no mercy in their attacks. Soon, the strange insect was smashed into a burst of green liquid, its body swaying and finally collapsing to the ground, clearly having lost its life.
"Huh?" Kong Qing and the others looked strange, clearly not expecting to kill him so easily.
At that moment, a faint voice from the night elf came: "Master Kong, save...save..."
Before he could finish speaking, he breathed his last, his eyes wide open, clearly dying with his eyes still open.
Kong Qing squatted down beside him and examined him. Looking at the black blood flowing from his waist, and even his internal organs were black, he said in a deep voice, "With his cultivation level, even if he were cut in half at the waist, he might not have lost his life. It's a pity that the strange insect had a deadly poison in its mouth, so he can't be saved."
Zu An thought to himself, no wonder the Venom Child was able to hold out longer before. Besides having a higher cultivation level, he was also skilled in poison attacks, which allowed him to resist the toxicity of the strange insects to a certain extent.
