Chapter 621 The Reappearance of the Ultimate Skill

The still-intact bat used its claws to grab its companion, who was visibly struggling to breathe. With a flap of its wings, it lifted its companion and prepared to leave.

"No need to chase him," Su Li ordered, catching her breath. "It's actually a good thing he got away."

Everyone understood. This place was only so big; with the bats gone, they could kill the remaining three gold-level monsters one by one.

Especially the giant worm. This thing is so big that it takes a lot of effort to kill it.

The giant worm was somewhat bewildered. What happened, big guy? Just a moment ago, the situation was going very well, with some harassing and others casting curses. And now, in such a short time, two are dead, one is injured, and one has escaped.

The giant worm seemed to have pressed the skip button in a game, resulting in a "battle failed" screen that asked the player to strengthen their equipment and try again, leaving them completely bewildered.

However, relying on its size, the giant worm showed no sign of retreating.

For tiny insects like Zuli, it would be difficult to even penetrate its tough outer skin. How could it possibly scare away a giant worm?

The giant worm's bewilderment lasted only a few seconds; its beastly instincts drove it to make the most immediate reaction—to continue crushing them with its body.

Its massive body suddenly sank, causing the entire bowl-shaped cave to tremble. The cave floor, ravaged by worms for so long, finally gave way; the gray ground began to crack, revealing a strange, black surface inside, resembling stringy cheese.

The crystals on the ground, emitting a bluish-purple fluorescence, jingled and clanged amidst the violent tremors, releasing waves of strange power.

"Scatter!" Su Li shouted in a low voice through the mental connection.

The group had already tacitly split up and acted separately. Ivan protected the heavily injured and exhausted Sun Keke as they retreated rapidly, while simultaneously deploying a double-layered shield to focus on defending against possible attacks from the ground.

Song Mingyu maintained her spellcasting gesture as Su Li carried her away. The seeds she had sown in the wound, catalyzed and fueled by the Eternal Flame, continued to burrow deeper into the wound.

"How much longer?" Su Li asked in the mental link.

"It's hard to say, let's wait and see." Song Mingyu gave a vague answer. "After breaking through the outermost layer of keratinized skin, the skin underneath is flowing with a fluid that has corrosive, digestive, and healing properties. I must expend effort using some plants to guide the Eternal Fire to cleanse it before I can continue digging."

【Very good, continue.】

The giant worm's body slammed into the ground once more, and this time, the ground rippled like ocean waves—this reaction had occurred before, but it was more pronounced as the hard soil was being destroyed.

After the body crashed down, another sweeping motion followed.

Su Li and the others hid underground, while Sun Lili once again created a spatial rift, adding a long scratch to the giant worm.

Sun Lili looked up, her face pale, and saw the new wounds on the giant worm. The wounds left using the same method earlier were now covered with a layer of yellowish-green liquid, sealing them together. Since these were cuts, not gouged-out wounds, once pieced together and sealed with the healing fluid, the wounds were essentially healed.

The only real wound left on the giant worm is the one that Zuli ignited with the Eternal Flame, and which is still emitting a red glow.

The icy blue color of the greatsword in Su Li's hand faded, the Moon Wheel Sword's timer ended, and next up was the Sun Wheel Sword's timer.

Su Li did not deliberately increase the temperature of the Sun Wheel Sword, but let it grow naturally.

Seemingly sensing that Su Li and the others had no way to deal with it, the giant worm let out an excited roar, stirring up another shower of stalagmites.

Smash, sweep, smash, sweep.

It's the simplest attack method, yet it's highly effective.

His stamina, nurtured in this fertile ground, seemed almost inexhaustible. As long as he continuously depleted the energy of these little insects, he could easily eliminate them.

Indeed, this seems to be the case, and Zurich and his team's response is becoming increasingly complicated.

At first, it was enough for Sun Lili to open the crack. After a few times, Sun Lili stopped opening the shield and instead Su Li used sword energy to cut open the skin.

Then, Su Li and Sun Lili began to switch roles, and finally Ivan used his light shield to adjust the angle and dodge attacks by relying on the angle and the toughness of his skin.

As the giant worm continued to sweep across the ground, various crystals on the ground were also uprooted and rolled around on the ground. After being swept away, they would collide with the surrounding crystals and roll back, causing trouble for Su Li and the others.

The giant worm even felt a sense of relief.

Just as it was feeling smug, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, countless vines appeared from the earth. The area, spanning several kilometers, was entirely covered by these vines.

The vines intertwined, weaving themselves into ropes, and coiled around the giant worm.

The giant worm exerted its strength, and the vines that had wrapped around it made a teeth-grinding squeaking sound before snapping one by one.

It's alright. The underground here is surprisingly rich in nutrients. Even the curse that pervades the entire world couldn't turn those underground resources into sand.

Song Mingyu's eyes shone with a green light, and the buffer energy layer she had set up in advance on the energy circuit was running at full power. Green patterns bloomed on Song Mingyu's body, causing Sun Lili to exclaim, "Wow, Yingwen!"

"You little brat!" Sun Keke kicked him. "Get to work!"

Sun Lili quickly hugged Sophia and Su Li, "Prepare to teleport!"

In an instant, the three of them vanished.

After twirling and flashing in the air for a few seconds, Sun Lili, along with Su Li, pulled out the wound that Su Li had previously left behind.

Su Li looked at the wound. Now, the wound was covered in the flames of eternal calamity, burning it into a pitted mess. And in the center of the wound, there was a huge crater, with charred flesh surrounding the crater.

Su Li, carrying Sophia and Sun Lili (whose face was ashen and looked like she had applied powder), stood beside the wound.

Based on Zuli's perception of the Eternal Flame, this wound was a full hundred meters deep. And at the very bottom, the Eternal Flame began to burn flesh and blood that were different from the outer membrane.

Zuli and Sofia exchanged a glance. "Let's go!"

The three of them jumped into the wound together.

Besides the Eternal Flame, there were also numerous vines in the wound, which dug into it like a tunnel boring machine.

As it fell, the giant worm sensed something was wrong and began to struggle, but it was held firmly to the ground by the vines that Song Mingyu was supporting with all her might.

After freefalling to the deepest part of the wound, Su Li pointed the greatsword forward.

Eclipse Sword Qi Unleashed, Unleashing Full Power!

The sword energy, tens of meters long and composed of temperatures tens of thousands of degrees, erupted for a moment at the deepest part of the wound.

This almost completely drained Zuli's magical energy, and only lasted for 2 seconds.

The sword energy dissipated, leaving behind a charred wound. The wound began to ooze copious amounts of bodily fluid, and the creature tried to wriggle and squeeze the wound.

Sofia, who had assumed a shooting stance, seized the moment when the sword energy disappeared and pulled the trigger.

The giant worm felt as if its very soul had frozen in that instant.

“Come on,” Sophia murmured, “Simulate Genesis.”
