Chapter 1033 - 925: Flying Giant Worm (Part 2)

Duan Gujin replied.The mercenaries present, upon hearing the conversation between Duan Gujin and Wu Xiuqing, suddenly realized the truth.

"It seems these two must be from the Divine World!"

The Divine World opened up teleportation arrays to thirty thousand planes, hosting the Dimension Advancement Competition, allowing the victors to enter the Divine World for study, a fact that had spread across all thirty thousand planes.

The mercenaries present just realized that the woman in front was from the Divine World. Although they weren't sure of her combat power, simply considering her identity made some onlookers retreat.

They thought to themselves that anyone who could survive in the Divine World surely wasn't someone to be trifled with.

The middle-aged man leading this team initially intended to act against the woman ahead, but after listening to the conversation between Duan Gujin and the woman, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead like soybeans, and he was grateful he hadn't acted rashly earlier.

If he had indeed acted recklessly before, he feared he might be dead by now.

With this thought, a cold sweat broke out down his spine.

"I was really blinded by lust just now! For this woman to delve so deeply here, she mustn't be ordinary! She ventured into the Absolute God Forbidden Land all by herself; how could she be a weak woman without strong power?"

"Friend ahead, we were rude earlier, my friend. Can you please tell us what's ahead?"

The middle-aged man quickly inquired of Wu Xiuqing.

Wu Xiuqing laughed lightly upon hearing this: "It's just an ancient fierce beast ahead, but its origins are unknown. I suspect it might very well be an ancient demon! Handling such an ancient demon isn't too difficult!"

Hearing Wu Xiuqing describe the ancient beast as an ancient demon, the martial artists present gasped, particularly struck by Wu Xiuqing's last words 'isn't too difficult'.

They didn't have much confidence that they could handle an ancient demon like that.

"What is the cultivation level of that ancient demon?"

The middle-aged man pursued further.

"About the Shattering Void First Layer! Though it's only at the Shattering Void First Layer, its innate ability is exceedingly terrifying, allowing it to move freely in the void, which is related to space! If you don't understand, let me put it simply for you!"

Then, with a wave of her right hand, an image appeared in the palm of her right hand.

Everyone saw her demonstrating this skill, and their brows furrowed.

They all opened their eyes wide to look at the image.

In that image, a massive gigantic entity appeared, resembling a giant worm with a row of exceedingly sharp teeth.

"This is that demon. This kind of demon is called a Flying Giant Worm. It can hide within a self-created independent space, look here! What do you say you see?"

Wu Xiuqing focused her mind, enlarging and clarifying the image on her palm.

This time, everyone saw more clearly, revealing a mountain in front of them. "Are you sure you see an artificial mountain?"

Wu Xiuqing asked.

"Yes, I see an artificial mountain!"

Many mercenaries responded.

"Look carefully!"

Wu Xiuqing said mildly.

The following image underwent a startling change, as a Flying Giant Worm crawled out of the artificial mountain.

The mercenaries saw the artificial mountain vanish instantly, transforming into a Flying Giant Worm, and each gasped, filled with fear.

"Is this an illusion?"

A mercenary asked.

"More or less!" Wu Xiuqing replied lightly.

Duan Gujin, hearing this, furrowed his brows, knowing that the Flying Giant Worm didn't use illusions to bewilder enemies.

He suspected Wu Xiuqing falsely claimed it was an illusion because she didn't want to explain further to those mercenaries.

If the Flying Giant Worm simply used illusions, it would be easier to deal with.

However, the Flying Giant Worm wasn't using illusions; it was space magic, allowing it to hide in an independent space.

To find its exact location, they would need to identify the space it occupied.

Finding the location of the Flying Giant Worm would require a strong ability to sense space.

Duan Gujin suspected that none of the current mercenaries understood the precise implications of hiding in space.

"What should we do next? Find it, then all of us go in and kill it?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Wu Xiuqing sighed softly, saying: "I fear even if you all go together, it would be of no avail. You should all head back! Accompany me as we retreat!"

After hearing her words, the middle-aged man furrowed his brow, uncertain whether to advance or heed the woman's advice.

He pondered for a while, eventually deciding to listen to the woman.

The woman had said the Flying Giant Worm was surely a Shattering Void First Layer, and neither he nor the personal soldiers behind him had reached the Shattering Void Realm.

If possible, he would have loved to use a sea of people strategy to wear down the Flying Giant Worm.

The Flying Giant Worm's strength, coupled with its notably formidable innate ability, naturally induced some fear in him.

His eyes flickered, and he asked, "Has the friend seen many mercenaries here before?"

"That, I don't know. Do you want to go up?"

Wu Xiuqing asked.

The middle-aged man hesitated, his mind racing, unsure what to do next.

He had painstakingly entered this place and had already found some clues; he felt compelled not to leave simply because the woman advised so.

He didn't want the elders of the mercenary corps to think he was inept, so after pondering briefly, he decided he should record the image of the Flying Giant Worm to show the elders later.

Only by showing the mercenary corps' elders the image of the Flying Giant Worm would they believe it wasn't his lack of ability in uncovering the truth behind the mercenaries' deaths.

He sighed, saying: "Thanks for reminding me, but I think we should find the truth. If the Flying Giant Worm is really formidable, and we can't deal with it, there's nothing we can do!"

Though the middle-aged man said this, he harbored other thoughts in his heart.

"I should send in some cannon fodder first to force the Flying Giant Worm out, and then use the Recording Crystal to document everything, so I can show it to the bigwigs in our corps. Only seeing it with their eyes will make them believe I'm not colluding with others to deceive them!"

The middle-aged man exhaled a breath of stale air. He knew the Flying Giant Worm ahead posed a great threat, but considering it would first confront the mercenaries he had recruited earlier, his task was to record the appearance of the Flying Giant Worm. Ideally, he wanted to capture it consuming the mercenaries.

He felt that only by getting the recorded image of the Flying Giant Worm devouring the mercenaries and showing it to the bigwigs would they believe his words.

To him, those hired mercenaries were just cannon fodder, and even if they all perished, he wouldn't feel any heartache.

"Goodbye, friend!"

The middle-aged man waved his right hand and led the group of mercenaries with him on the way.

His gaze flickered as he looked at Duan Gujin.

"Are you a disciple of the Ascension Academy?"

He secretly transmitted his voice to Duan Gujin.

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin responded.

"Have you heard of the name Geng Jingtian?"

The middle-aged man continued to ask.

"No! The Ascension Academy has many people; I can't possibly know everyone!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Are you here for an academy mission?"

The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, I do have a mission here to investigate, so I came!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he answered.

"I'll go with you! I can sense its approximate location!" Suddenly, Wu Xiuqing said from ahead.

Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this, feeling puzzled as to why Wu Xiuqing, known as the Demon Immortal, suddenly became so enthusiastic.

"She's quite strange and doesn't align with the rumors about her! Could this Wu Xiuqing merely be a clone of her true self?"

After thinking it over, Duan Gujin considered this possibility.

"Very well, come with us! Let's form a team with our friend here!"

The middle-aged man looked excited.
