Zhuo Ali was the name of the shadow before him.
In 《Deadly Weed》, Li Muyang had seen the person before him.
He was a villager of the Black Cloud Village but also practiced evil cultivation with the Temple Seal Lord and other demonic cultivators in the back mountain.
But he never expected to encounter Zhuo Ali in this eerie grey mist underground.
His body had swollen to ten zhang tall, and the Black Cloud Village grey robes he wore had also expanded.
But the surface of this huge shadow was crawling with creepy blue worms.
These blue worms had long, thin, sharp hairs, like giant wriggling caterpillars.
Each of these thin hairs shimmered with a cold azure light, adding an icy and terrifying creepiness to it.
As they moved in the darkness, the blue spots on their bodies also writhed like ugly eyeballs.
Just the sight of this creature made Dragon Maiden scream.
“Ah! So scary!”
“Li Muyang! What is this thing?”
Just the sight of the heart-eating worms made Dragon Maiden feel physically ill.
Li Muyang couldn’t help but shiver, his skin breaking out in goosebumps.
These eerie blue caterpillars were indeed terrifying and repulsive, instinctively disliked by anyone who saw them.
But as Li Muyang faced this ferocious and terrifying creature, he finally understood where that familiar feeling of returning home came from.
–The atmosphere of this underground world of grey mist was exactly the same as Black Cloud Village!
Looking at Zhuo Ali, who had the health bar of a 【Mad Ancient Evil Cultivator】, Li Muyang’s mind raced with speculation.
Could it be that this place was the last stronghold of the Temple Seal Lord and his fellow cultists when they perished in ancient times?
Li Muyang’s thoughts were rapid, but the creature before him showed no joy at seeing a fellow villager. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Upon seeing the woman in the black mist, it instinctively roared and charged at Li Muyang.
The blue heart-eating worms writhing on its body glowed even brighter, emitting a sinister blue flame.
Li Muyang immediately dodged and released Heavenly Fire at the monstrous creature.
The Heavenly Fire fell upon the giant Zhuo Ali, causing it to howl miserably and retreat continuously.
However, the blue worms on its body seemed unaffected.
The Heavenly Fire blazed fiercely, and the blue light released by the heart-eating worms quickly merged into one.
Finally, a blue flame shot through the Heavenly Fire summoned by Li Muyang, striking him directly.
–Can this blue flame penetrate Heavenly Fire?
Li Muyang was astounded.
It was the first time he had encountered something that Heavenly Fire could not burn.
The blue flame released by the heart-eating worms seemed to exist in its own right, impervious to interference or obstruction.
In an instant, Li Muyang’s body was engulfed in blue light.
The burning blue flames scorched his skin, causing him to twist in pain, and a layer of fine white jade scales appeared on his delicate skin.
These jade-like dragon scales sizzled under the searing blue flames, the intense heat scorching Li Muyang’s soul, leaving him somewhat dazed.
The true master of the Flood Dragon’s body, Dragon Maiden, screamed in agony.
“Ah, it hurts so much!”
“Li Muyang! It’s killing me!”
“Is this the ‘no danger’ your mother-in-law spoke of? It hurts me to death!”
Dragon Maiden cried out in pain.
Fortunately, it seemed that the dragon scales truly resisted the blue flames.
Despite the scorching pain, Li Muyang felt no damage to his soul.
Seeing this, the creature in the mist roared and turned to flee.
The Heavenly Fire continued to burn its body, leaving it covered in wounds.
But the flames it released could not harm Li Muyang.
This mad cultivator was now afraid.
However, Li Muyang did not give it a chance to escape.
This was the first minor monster he had encountered down here, and he couldn’t let it go so easily.
Enduring the pain of the blue flames, Li Muyang chased after the thirty-zhang-tall cultist in the mist, continuously bombarding it with Heavenly Fire.
As the health bar of the blood-red creature rapidly decreased, the giant monster soon let out a wail and fell motionless into the mist like a soulless husk.
The eerie heart-eating worms attached to its body scattered with a bang at the moment the creature fell, trying to escape into the mist.
But Li Muyang brought out the gourd given to him by the Buddha Mother, and a great suction force emerged, sucking all the heart-eating worms into the gourd.
Finally, looking at the floating corpse of the monster in the mist, Li Muyang reflected for a moment before reverting to his original form and swallowing the creature whole.
The Moon-Biting Dragon, now three hundred zhang long, consumed the thirty-zhang-tall monster as if it were a small snack.
As the mad ancient times cultist was devoured by Li Muyang, system notifications quickly popped up in his field of vision.
【Experience Points +30】
【Experience Points +30】
The body of this ancient times cultist actually gave experience points when eaten?
And the amount was not insignificant.
Seeing this, Li Muyang’s eyes lit up.
He had set out on this journey to find evil creatures to slay and level up.
Now that eating the monsters in this underground world of grey mist could increase experience points… wasn’t this the perfect leveling dungeon?
Li Muyang’s mood instantly brightened.
The Moon-Biting Dragon also sensed the change in its body and was overjoyed.
“Eating this monster can actually improve my cultivation? Li Muyang, you guessed it all along, didn’t you?”
“No wonder you agreed so readily to the Buddha Mother.”
Discovering that eating the evil creatures in the mist could lead to leveling up, Dragon Maiden also became happy.
Li Muyang then counted the Heart-Eating Worms in the gourd, feeling somewhat disappointed.
“Only 17…”
These Heart-Eating Worms were large and seemed numerous, but only 17 were caught in the end.
It seemed he would need to kill more monsters in the mist to collect enough Heart-Eating Worms to exchange for the Seven Marrow Pills.
Li Muyang rested in the mist to digest for a while before taking out the White Bone Tai Sui given to him by the Buddha Mother.
He carefully cut off a small piece of the Tai Sui flesh and tossed it into the mist.
As the Tai Sui flesh drifted in the mist, a faint fragrance also spread through the mist.
Li Muyang floated to the side, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
But this time, he waited for a full half hour before there was any movement in the mist.
A long, slender shadow swam out of the mist, revealing a giant snake with dry, scaly skin, looking like a walking corpse.
This giant snake was twenty zhang long, its body covered with blue worms.
It roared as it approached the piece of White Bone Tai Sui flesh.
But it quickly noticed Li Muyang, motionless in the mist.
In the hollow dark eye sockets of the giant snake, a blue light suddenly appeared.
An ugly Heart-Eating Worm crawled out of its eye socket, angrily howling at Li Muyang in the mist.
The next second, the Heart-Eating Worms on the snake’s body shone brightly, and a dazzling blue fireball was hurled directly at Li Muyang in the mist.
But accompanying it was the fiery red Heavenly Fire, which appeared out of nowhere in the mist and slammed fiercely onto the giant snake…
