Chapter 305: Strange Formation
Hu Qing stood beside the hole dug by the earthworm, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with a seriousness.
He released his spiritual sense and tried to explore the depths of the cave to see where the earthworm was leading to.
However, as soon as his spiritual sense penetrated, he was shocked - the ground had been dug into a complicated mess by earthworms.
The tunnels are intertwined like a maze, and it is impossible to tell the direction.
"The digging ability of this earthworm is truly amazing." Hu Qing muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Gu Yang took out a shovel from his storage ring and held it in his hand, his eyes flashing with eagerness:
“Since the divine sense can’t detect it clearly, let’s just dig it up and see!
I want to see what kind of thing is hidden underground that can suck up so many carrion flies!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Qing quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be impatient! The ground below has been hollowed out. If you dig in like this, it will probably cause a landslide!"
However, before he could finish his words, Gu Yang had already raised the shovel high, poured spiritual power into it, and slammed it down to the ground.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, the ground collapsed instantly, smoke and dust rose, and soil and gravel flew everywhere.
Gu Yang felt his feet go empty, and his whole body fell down with the collapsed ground.
Hu Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He quickly jumped up, grabbed Gu Yang's collar and lifted him into the air.
"Ahem—I'm sick, my mouth is full of sand..."
Gu Yang was choked by the smoke and dust and kept coughing. His face was covered with dust and he looked miserable.
Hu Qing covered his mouth with his hand and held Gu Yang in his other hand, floating in the air.
He waved his hand, releasing a stream of spiritual power that blew away the smoke and dust around him.
However, before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, two dark red figures suddenly rushed out of the pit, opened their bloody mouths, and pounced towards the two men!
"Those two earthworms are coming up. Be careful not to get bitten! Send me down and I'll kill them."
Gu Yang shouted and quickly pulled out the Soul-Devouring Blade. The blade drew a cold light in the air and pointed directly at the head of one of the Earthworms.
However, the two earthworms seemed to sense the danger, twisted their bodies, and jumped high enough to avoid Gu Yang's fatal blow.
The Soul-Devouring Blade slashed across their bodies, sending up a shower of sparks.
"Qiang——!"
The blade collided with the earthworm's skin, making a harsh sound.
Gu Yang felt a shock on his wrist, and was secretly surprised that the earthworm's skin was so tough.
He gritted his teeth, pushed hard, and finally split the bodies of the two earthworms in half.
However, the next second, a terrifying scene appeared - the two broken body parts twisted rapidly and each grew a new head.
In the blink of an eye, the two earthworms turned into four!
"This... why does this damn thing keep growing the more I chop it!" Gu Yang's eyes widened, his tone filled with a hint of frustration.
Hu Qing was suspended in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the four earthworms, his tone solemn:
"I've already said that once a Earthworm's body is cut, it will split into two separate individuals.
We have to destroy their heads directly, otherwise they will just keep coming back."
Gu Yang gripped the Soul Devouring Blade tightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes:
"But they drilled so fast that I couldn't cut them off!"
Hu Qing pondered for a moment and whispered, "I'll hold them back, and you look for an opportunity to attack their heads."
After he finished speaking, he quickly landed on the ground, took out the king's sword, formed a seal with one hand, and his spiritual power turned into sword blades, sweeping towards the earthworm.
The sword blade made a sharp whistling sound in the air, forcing the earthworm to dodge everywhere.
Seeing this, Gu Yang's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly seized the opportunity and pointed the Soul-Devouring Blade directly at the head of one of the Earthworms.
The blade flashed with a cold light, and the earthworm's head was instantly chopped off. Its body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
"Success!" Gu Yang shouted excitedly.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the other three earthworms had already burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Hu Qing walked up to Gu Yang and whispered, "Don't be too happy yet. These earthworms have only retreated temporarily. They will come back again."
Gu Yang nodded, his tone somewhat solemn: "What is hidden underground? Why are there so many strange monsters?"
Hu Qing stood beside the collapsed pit and scanned the surrounding land.
The ground was still dry and hard, as if everything before was just an illusion, and the corpses of the carrion flies had gone somewhere else.
He frowned slightly and whispered, "It seems that the ability to absorb corpses is not the land itself, but that strange formation."
Gu Yang nodded, gripped the Soul Devouring Blade tightly, and spoke with a serious tone:
"Then what do we do now?"
Hu Qing cast his gaze towards the center of the pool and whispered:
"The core of the formation is right there. We have to go to the formation point and take a look. Maybe we can find the key clue."
After he finished speaking, he prepared to take Gu Yang and fly to the center of the pool.
However, just as the two of them took off into the air, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Three earthworms suddenly rushed out from the ground, opened their bloody mouths, and sprayed several extremely fast stones towards the two people.
"careful!"
Hu Qing let out a low cry and quickly adjusted his body in the air to avoid the attack of the stones.
Gu Yang snorted coldly, and the Soul-Devouring Blade drew a cold light in the air, blocking all the flying stones.
The stone collided with the blade, making a "bang bang" sound, and then shattered into powder and fell to the ground.
"These ghost things are really haunting us!" Gu Yang said gritting his teeth.
Hu Qing was suspended in mid-air, staring at the three earthworms with cold eyes.
He formed seals with his hands, and his spiritual power transformed into a powerful pressure, instantly freezing the three earthworms in place.
"Now!" Hu Qing said in a low voice.
When Gu Yang heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He swiftly swung the Soul-Devouring Blade, and three blade beams shot out from the air, pointing directly at the Earthworm's head.
"Pfft——!"
The blade precisely chopped off the heads of the three earthworms. Their bodies instantly stiffened, and they fell to the ground powerlessly.
Their bodies were swallowed by the earth at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were pulled into the ground by some invisible force.
"This...what's going on?" Gu Yang widened his eyes, his tone filled with disbelief.
Hu Qing fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on the ground that was gradually recovering.
I saw that the big hole dug by the earthworm was being filled up slowly.
The soil squirmed like a living thing, eventually covering the hole completely, and the ground returned to its original state, as if it had never been damaged.
"This formation can not only absorb corpses, but also repair the land..." Hu Qing said in a low voice, with a serious tone.
Gu Yang gripped the Soul Devouring Blade tightly, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "This place is getting weirder and weirder."
Hu Qing nodded, looked at the pile of bones in the middle of the pool, and whispered:
“No matter what, we must find out the purpose of this formation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the people of Waterdeep might be in greater danger."
Gu Yang took a deep breath, and said with a firm tone: "Then let's go and take a look at the formation point."
The two of them took off into the air again and flew towards the center of the pool.
