174. Little Junior Brother, I'm So Hungry(1/2)
Upon hearing Ye Ling'er's reminder, the three of them immediately became solemn and their spiritual senses were on high alert.
Being able to make her show such an expression is definitely extremely dangerous.
Just when they were holding their breath and nervously observing their surroundings, a strange noise suddenly came from the rock wall beside them.
At first glance, the sound sounded like some kind of hoarse and strange roar. The sound was sharp and weird. It was not like the roar of any creature known to Anle. But after careful analysis, it seemed that it was just the trembling of the rock formations.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Junliang's expression suddenly changed: "How could it be?"
Immediately afterwards, the strange sound quickly moved from far to near. One second it seemed to be thousands of meters away, and the next second it was very close to them.
The dark and thick rock wall kept shaking and shaking, and some cracks appeared on the ground, as if something was trying to get out of it.
At the same time, a strange and deep pressure spread, which was completely different from any powerful enemy Anle had ever encountered.
The depth and mystery seemed to come from a terrifyingly ancient time.
So much so that all the spiritual energy in his body became restless, as if it was about to be withdrawn from his Dantian and meridians.
Anle frowned while controlling the spiritual power in his body: "What on earth is this..."
This time, even Xiao Xiaohong didn't give an explanation.
The memory she regained is obviously not omnipotent, and it is impossible to cover everything about the strange existence in Xuyuan.
Soon, after an earth-shattering tremor, the rock wall farther away suddenly opened a huge gap, and a thick yellow-brown body came out of it.
hiss---
The hoarse roar suddenly became countless times sharper, almost piercing Anle's eardrums.
It contains endless madness and unknown, which makes the spiritual power fall into a state of loss of control. Anle even reads... fear from the spiritual power?
Jiang Junliang wailed in a low voice: "The fearful earth dragon..."
Anle's eyes were fixed on the half body drilled out of the rock wall, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although this so-called "Spirit-Dreading Earth Dragon" was called an "Earth Dragon", in his opinion, it was just a giant worm with no eyes or nose on its head, and only a large mouth that kept swallowing scarlet tentacles.
Its body is hairless and consists of rings one after another.
If you look carefully, there seem to be countless sharp teeth in those ring-shaped ravines, which look sharp and dangerous.
Many tentacles protruded from the mouth, chewing and devouring nearby rocks and sending them into the body.
Thinking about it, this is how giant worms can move freely through rocks.
After the Fearful Earth Dragon poked out from the rock wall, it stretched its huge body wantonly, and many rocks and soil were shaken off, as if there was a rain of earth and rocks.
Fortunately, it was still some distance away from Anle and others, so the aftermath that everyone received was not strong, only the ground was constantly shaking.
Hiss—hiss—
The cries of the earth dragon sounded one after another.
But at this time, Anle discovered that apart from the weird characteristics of the sound itself, there was not much malice in its cry, but rather... cheerful and relaxed?
It's like the feeling of a student who has been depressed for several days at school and finally gets a three-day holiday.
An Le had a suspicion in his mind: "Could it be that it just wants to come out of the rock formation to take a breath?"
The performance of the fearful earth dragon seems to confirm Anle's idea.
It shook its huge torso happily, opened its mouth wide, and breathed in the outside air. Its tentacles kept protruding and then retracting.
This posture is very similar to the action of a big dog sticking out its tongue to dissipate heat.
However, for it, it was just a playful behavior, but it caused huge damage to the surrounding environment. Rock formations collapsed one after another. Huge gravel fell like raindrops and hit the ground at the bottom, forming several deep pits.
.
Some monsters were unable to dodge, and were either crushed to death by boulders, or were unfortunately tied up by the tentacles that stretched wantonly, and then were sent into the terrifying mouth.
Among them there are many third-level monsters that are equivalent to Jindan monks.
Obviously, this fearful earth dragon doesn't mind eating a few snacks while getting some air.
Not long after, the giant worm drilled back into the rock formation, leaving a huge tunnel, and its body gradually moved away and disappeared from sight.
The tremors of the earth and rock walls gradually subsided.
Only then did Anle and the others heave a sigh of relief.
"It's so dangerous..."
Jiang Junliang's tense nerves finally relaxed, and his face was full of surprises.
"Fortunately, this earth dragon is not in the hunting season, otherwise we might not be able to survive."
Cheng Yuemei was still frightened in her heart and couldn't help but ask.
"Just now... my spiritual power seemed to be out of control? Is this also the ability of the earth dragon?"
"Yes."
Jiang Junliang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "This is also the real terrifying thing about the fearful earth dragon."
"It can even swallow the monk's... realm."
Anle raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Realm?"
This was the first time he had heard of the ability to swallow realms.
"Yes, there were monks who came into close contact with the Fearful Earth Dragon and fell from the fifth level of the Golden Core to the third level of the Golden Core. What's worse, they fell from the Golden Core to the Foundation Establishment and were unable to move forward for the rest of their lives.
"
"This is why people are so afraid of the Spirit-Dreading Earth Dragon."
Cheng Yuemei was also curious: "Where did the cultivation that was swallowed up by it go?"
Jiang Junliang shook his head: "I don't know either, but some people say that it was absorbed by the earth dragon, and some people say that the earth dragon will spit out these cultivations and give them to the destined people at random."
"But I have stayed in Xuyuan for so long, and I have never heard of anyone accepting a gift from Earth Dragon."
"On the contrary, during the years when I served in Xuyuan, there was a saying that anyone who encounters the fearful earth dragon has extremely bad luck and is despised by heaven."
Jiang Junliang was obviously feeling sorry for himself, and sighed: "I'm afraid... you're talking about people like me, right?"
He was shocked by recent encounters and thought it was his bad luck that caused so many dangers.
Hearing this, Anle had a strange expression.
'That's really true!'
It's just that Jiang Junliang obviously thinks too much. Anle is a genuine "Heaven Abandoned". In terms of bad luck, he is still far behind!
However, the appearance of the Fearful Earth Dragon also sounded the alarm for Anle.
'The danger level of Xuyuan is probably far greater than that of the Gujia Mountains. There are countless existences like Earth Dragon. We still have to be careful.'
Suddenly, Anle noticed that Ye Ling'er was looking straight in the direction where the Fearful Earth Dragon was leaving, and seemed to be saying something.
"Second Senior Sister?"
Anle listened carefully and heard Ye Ling'er murmuring to herself.
"This bug is so fat, it must taste good, right?"
"If I could just take a bite...chiliu..."
As he said this, Ye Linger swallowed subconsciously, looking extremely greedy.
Anle: "..."
Even though Second Senior Sister has become thinner, her nature has not changed at all.
"Junior brother, I'm so hungry... Do you still have something to eat?"
Spotting An Le's gaze, Ye Ling'er immediately turned her head, with a pitiful expression on her pretty face, and her big eyes were moist and sad.
There are probably not many people in the world who can withstand such an attack.
Anle couldn't help but feel soft: "I still have some monster meat in my storage bag, senior sister, please take it and eat it first!"
"Yeah!"
Ye Ling'er jumped up with joy, hugged Anle and spun around.
"Junior brother is the best!"
"Senior sister, I really didn't hurt you in vain!"
Anle struggled for a while, but found that the power coming from his two arms was so heavy that he was completely unable to resist and could only accept the status quo.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yuemei and the two had different expressions.
Cheng Yuemei looked envious: "So this is the relationship between them?"
"Nowadays, she can be regarded as a handsome man, a talented woman, and a very good match."
Her imagination suddenly opened up, and she imagined many plots that did not exist at all: "Wait a minute, could it be that the two of them were already here before? Fellow Daoist An didn't dislike that body shape at all, and after Senior Ye lost weight, he completed a gorgeous transformation and became a lover.
Finally getting married... This is exactly like the plot in a storybook."
