With a "glug" sound, a huge, pure white eyeball without a pupil slowly rose from the depths of the river.
His unwavering white eyes silently gazed at the location where Ruan Tang and the other person were.
Immediately afterwards, a huge, pure white eyeball without pupils slowly rose from the river and indifferently turned towards their direction.
Pure white, enormous eyeballs filled Ruan Tang's entire field of vision.
The other party did not release any killing intent, but looked at the two of them with unusual indifference, as if they were two dead objects.
That's not looking at two living creatures.
It released no murderous intent, no emotion, and not even a clear focus.
It was a detached scrutiny from the ancient wilderness, like looking at a stone or the dust beneath one's feet.
Ruan Tang stopped breathing.
Her blood froze instantly, and a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head. Her hands and feet were stiff as iron, and she couldn't even muster the simplest thought of forming a hand seal.
That's not a monster.
It was something... incomprehensible and impossible to resist.
Yan Yu's body reacted before he could think.
He suddenly tightened his grip on Ruan Tang's waist, and with his other hand, he made a fierce slash in the empty space to the side!
A pitch-black rift was torn open in the space.
He held Ruan Tang in his arms and stepped inside.
My vision was distorted, and the world seemed to spin.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of another cave wall a kilometer away.
However, the suffocating sense of oppression did not diminish in the slightest.
It's actually become stronger.
"Boom—Rumble—Rumble—"
The entire underground world was trembling violently.
This is not an earthquake.
It is the earth beneath their feet that is coming "alive".
The soft, furry ground where they had just stood began to wriggle and bulge, like a giant that had been sleeping for millions of years, slowly stretching its muscles and bones.
A colossal creature awoke from its slumber without warning.
The viscous underground river was quickly absorbed by the other side, and the once wide river instantly shrank by half.
"This, this is... an earth venom worm..."
Ruan Tang's teeth were chattering uncontrollably. An ancient book that she had forgotten in the corner of her memory suddenly exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.
They feed on the earth's veins and live in symbiosis with minerals.
They have no intelligence, only instinct.
This is what she saw in the "Tales of Myriad Beasts" in the sect's library when she was a child.
Ruan Tang still remembered the brief description in the book: "[Earth ley worms feed on earth veins and live in symbiosis with minerals. They have no intelligence, only instinct. They are not living beings, but rather walking natural disasters. If you encounter them, retreat quickly; do not attempt to fight them.]"
It was startled awake.
The violent aura emanating from that fragment of demon core, as well as the incongruous, pure metal-type spiritual power emanating from Yan Yu, were overwhelming.
"roar--"
A roar unlike any other creature could utter, extremely muffled, came simultaneously from the depths of the earth and from all directions.
The sound waves transformed into a tangible impact, shaking large chunks of rock off the cave walls.
The giant rocks crashed into the soft ground without making a sound, and were silently swallowed up.
Yan Yu's mental barrier fluctuated violently under the sound waves. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
This thing is at least fourth-order, or even fifth-order!
They are simply not beings they can contend with right now!
"Walk!"
Yan Yu tore through space once more.
Teleportation!
Teleport again!
He held Ruan Tang in his arms, flashing wildly through this underground world, each time trying his best to cross a distance of thousands of meters.
