Chapter 279: Thousand Feet Black Silkworm
Deep in the silent night, the cold wind blew, which covered everything with icy dew…
Yi Yun suddenly woke up from his deep sleep.
A natural instinct for danger suddenly arose in his mind. Yi Yun immediately opened his energy vision and found a furry desolate beast that was slowly moving like a ball.
This desolate beast had a pair of black round eyes and its body was covered with numerous small tentacles. These tentacles would rub against the ground, but strangely it did not emit a single sound.
Not only that, the beast’s presence was extremely well-concealed. There was not a single sign that it was present. As it moved forward, corrosive liquids flowed out from its pores. Everywhere it went, a trail corroded by this liquid was left behind on the ground.
This corrosive liquid also slowly seeped into the soil.
“Chi!” “Chi!” “Chi!”
The explosive disk arrays Yi Yun had set up previously gave off soft sounds that were nearly inaudible. Due to the corrosive liquid that had seeped into the ground, the disk arrays were corroded just before they could initialize.
Yi Yun’s muscles tensed up and the Purple Crystal within his body swelled up with light. This desolate beast was a Thousand Feet Black Silkworm!
Yi Yun had previously read in the “Divine Wilderness” book that the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm was a desolate beast that was extremely difficult to handle. It liked to ambush its prey at night and it had an obtuse temperament. It completely ignored the feces of King-ranked desolate beasts. As the liquid that flowed out from its body could corrode the Ignition Disk Array, it could catch many cultivators by surprise. Hence, it was also the nemesis of many cultivators that traveled alone.
The Thousand Feet Black Silkworm’s body hair was needle-like. They could be shot out, and due to the toxic bodily fluids within it, a warrior would die just touching a tiny bit of the corrosive liquid.
That was the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm’s most powerful move. When it shot out all its body’s arsenal like arrows, it was almost impossible to evade.
A typical cultivator would often hide to avoid fighting it to the death if they met a Thousand Feet Black Silkworm.
Before Yi Yun came into the Divine wilderness, he had made ample preparations. The Thousand Feet Black Silkworm’s weakness was its speed. To deal with it, he had to first open up a gap from it, and attack it from far.
It was equivalent to committing suicide trying to attempt melee combat with a desolate beast that was full of toxins and that had spikes that were as solid as steel.
With the Tai Cang Bow in hand, Yi Yun suddenly burst up from the pit!
Peng!
Rocks and soil were sent flying. The sudden explosion stopped the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm in its tracks for a while.
At that moment, Yi Yun had flown more than thirty meters backwards. While he was in the air, he pulled the Tai Cang Bow to its fullest.
Yi Yun’s Yuan Qi rapidly condensed and surged into the black arrow head. The cold beam of the Wind Chasing Arrow flashed in the night.
Whew!
