Snap snap snap...
That eerie, terrifying sound rang out again; it was clearly the sound of the armor on the scaled death worm scraping against the sand and gravel.
At the same time, Zuan felt an extremely cold divine sense sweeping over the surroundings, clearly indicating that they had been discovered!
He knew very well that with the strength of that scale-like death worm, coupled with its ability to move like the wind in the soil, even if he tried his best, he would probably be caught by it very soon.
Only by teleporting to a very far place, like before, can one shake off the opponent.
He wanted to use the Key again, but his soul was in excruciating pain. Clearly, the two consecutive uses had severely depleted his soul. If he forced it to start again now, he would probably be annihilated before the death worm could even kill him.
What to do, what to do...
Zuan has one advantage: he becomes calmer in critical situations, and his thinking is even more insightful than usual.
He immediately thought of a plan and urged Yu Yanluo, "Quickly, enter your own Thousand Mile Mountain and Sea Map!"
Storage spaces like the Glazed Pearl can't hold people, but Yu Yanluo's magic artifact is a self-contained space, and he had been put into it before.
Yu Yanluo was puzzled. She roughly guessed what the other party was planning. Unfortunately, even if they could take the two of them in, the Mountain and Sea Map would still remain in the same place.
It might fool ordinary death worms, but this powerful queen worm will definitely sense her presence in the painting. When she swallows it whole, the entire world within the painting will be a cataclysmic destruction, and those hidden inside will naturally face only death.
However, she knew that time was of the essence and there was no time to ask questions, but she still trusted him without reservation. In a flash, she was completely absorbed into the painting.
She was trying to lure Zuan in as well, but before she knew it, he had rolled up the entire scroll.
"Huh?" If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't be able to touch her painting so easily.
When Zuan made his move, she didn't have the strength to retaliate and was easily swept up.
"Azu, what are you doing?" Yu Yanluo was anxious, worried that the other party might do something foolish to save her.
"Shh, be quiet!" As he spoke, Zuan put the scroll into his pocket, took off the luminous pearl in his hand, and immediately activated the skill he had drawn earlier: Dark Stealth!
Almost simultaneously, the death worm's enormous maw rushed in and bit down on the spot where the two had just been standing.
With a loud crack, the two enormous mandibles collided, producing a tooth-grinding sound.
The death worm raised a small section of its body with some confusion. It knew it had missed its bite and was looking around at its surroundings, searching for its target.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it looking around, because it has no eyes. It senses any tiny vibrations in the surrounding air with the six tentacles around its mouthparts. It also has a highly developed sense of smell and a divine sense comparable to a grandmaster. Therefore, although it is pitch black around it, it has no effect on it.
But after sensing around, they couldn't find the other party anywhere.
It let out a sharp, piercing cry, clearly feeling very depressed.
Several times today, its prey suddenly disappeared right in front of it, and even it couldn't figure out why.
Somewhat unwilling to give up, it continued to roam around, searching.
Zuan hid in the darkness not far away, only by observing so closely could he feel how terrifying the other party was.
Its overwhelming aura was even more terrifying than the domain of a Grandmaster. Perhaps it was a biological instinct, or perhaps it was the thought of the tragic fate of accidentally becoming food, but the hairs on its body stood on end.
At first, I was a little worried about being discovered by the other party, after all, the other party's strength was too terrifying.
After a while, he realized that the other party was wandering around like a headless fly and he couldn't find him at all. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the skills provided by the keyboard are still reliable.
Having confirmed it was safe, Zuan looked at the insect bodies swimming in the distance, feeling a surge of anticipation.
If I were to deliver a fatal blow with a dagger at this moment, would it be possible to kill it directly?
Once the thought crossed his mind, he became eager to try it out and quietly took out the poisoned dagger.
Unexpectedly, the death worm turned its head and "looked" in his direction, startling him so much that he quickly put the dagger away.
The death worm swam over, circled the area, found nothing amiss, and then burrowed underground and disappeared.
Zuan then realized that his clothes were completely soaked. It seemed that with the Death Worm's strength, it would detect even the slightest hint of murderous intent from him.
He remembered the skill description for Dark Stealth: the stealth effect would disappear instantly once he was about to attack.
Given the terrifying power of that death worm, it must have reacted instantly.
While pondering how to deal with the opponent, he released Yu Yanluo.
"Azu, how did you do that?" Yu Yanluo was extremely shocked, because in her opinion, the two of them had been here the whole time, and the death worm had passed by them several times, but it seemed as if they had not noticed them at all.
“I have a method that can conceal one’s aura and form,” Zu’an explained briefly. “Let’s go and meet up with Master Yun and Master Yan first.”
Soon the two arrived at the pool where they had parted ways earlier.
Sensing that the bubbles in the pool were safe and sound, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been a tragedy if he had returned to find that the two women had been swallowed by some monster.
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were meditating and regulating their breathing in the water bubble. Sensing the water bubble slowly rising, the two opened their eyes.
Seeing Zu'an return safely, Yun Jianyue's eyes showed a hint of joy, and even Yan Xuehen's cold gaze softened a bit.
