Chapter 114: Escape from a Desperate Situation

Immediately after, more bugs poured in from outside the cave, densely packed, almost blocking the entire entrance.

These bugs had various forms; some had sharp claws, some sprayed green venom, and some even had strange masks resembling human faces.

"Damn, there are too many of them!" Tang Tian gripped his dagger tightly, sweat seeping from his palms.

The Holy Son's face was solemn, and a long sword emitting a faint golden light appeared in his hand, "It seems we underestimated the Worm King's strength; these bugs are probably all sent by it."

Lin Xiyue grabbed Tang Yun's arm tightly, her eyes full of worry, "Tang Yun, what should we do?"

Tang Yun took a deep breath, enduring the sharp pain in his body, and said in a deep voice, "Xiyue, protect yourself. Holy Son, Tang Tian, let's stand back-to-back and try to minimize injuries."

Before he finished speaking, a bug with sharp claws pounced on Tang Yun.

Tang Yun dodged to the side, condensed a ball of Chaos Medical Qi in his hand, and hit the bug's head hard.

The bug let out a sharp hiss, its body twitched a few times, and then it fell to the ground motionless.

"Boss, your Chaos Medical Qi is effective against these bugs too!" Tang Tian shouted excitedly, his dagger flying as he killed the bugs approaching one by one.

"Don't be careless, these are just small fries." The Holy Son waved his long sword, the sword light flashing like golden lightning, splitting several bugs attempting to sneak attack in half.

He scanned the surrounding swarm of bugs with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice, "The real threat is yet to come."

As soon as the Holy Son finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the depths of the cave, and the ground trembled. Tang Tian's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "This... this sound..."

A much larger bug slowly crawled out from the depths of the cave. Its body was covered with a hard shell, and it had two sharp antennae on its head, emitting a suffocating pressure.

"Worm King!" Tang Yun's eyes tightened, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.

This Worm King was huge, almost occupying the entire cave, and every step it took, the ground shook violently.

Its scarlet compound eyes stared fixedly at Tang Yun and the others, and it let out low roars, as if declaring its sovereignty.

"This... how do we fight this?" Tang Tian swallowed, and the dagger in his hand was a bit unsteady.

Even the Holy Son's face became unusually solemn at this moment. He said in a deep voice, "The strength of this Worm King far exceeds our expectations; we must find a way to escape."

Tang Yun did not speak; he stared at the Worm King, his mind racing, thinking of countermeasures. Escape? Where to escape? The entire cave was surrounded by bugs, and there was no way to escape at all.

Just then, he suddenly felt a warmth coming from the crystal in his hand again, and a faint light radiated from the crystal. Tang Yun's heart stirred, could it be...

He injected Chaos Medical Qi into the crystal, the crystal's light gradually increased, and a blurry image appeared in his mind.

It was a small path hidden in the depths of the cave, which seemed to lead to the outside world.

"Follow me!" Tang Yun shouted and ran in the direction indicated by the image.

Although Tang Tian and the Holy Son did not understand what Tang Yun was doing, they couldn't care about that much at the moment and followed closely behind him.

Lin Xiyue grabbed Tang Yun's hand tightly, not daring to relax at all.

The Worm King let out an angry roar, and its huge body chased after Tang Yun and the others. In the cave, a thrilling escape began.

Tang Yun ran wildly in front, looking back from time to time. The huge Worm King rampaged in the narrow cave, gravel splashing along the way, and the deafening roar echoed in the cave, as if it were going to shake the entire cave to collapse.

"Boss, this thing is too fierce!" Tang Tian cursed while running, dodging the gravel falling from above from time to time.

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiyue behind him; her face was pale and her breathing was rapid, obviously she was almost unable to hold on.

"Xiyue, hold on!" Tang Yun shouted loudly, reaching out to pull Lin Xiyue and protecting her behind him.

"I... I'm fine..." Lin Xiyue managed to squeeze out a smile, but her trembling legs had betrayed her.

The Holy Son said nothing, his golden-flashing long sword constantly hacking at the small bugs pouring in from both sides, clearing the way for everyone.

He frowned tightly, his eyes full of worry.

"There seems to be light ahead!" Tang Tian suddenly pointed forward and shouted.

Tang Yun looked closely, and sure enough, a faint light appeared in the dim depths of the cave.

"Quick! Rush out!" Tang Yun shouted and accelerated.

The Worm King seemed to have sensed their intention, let out an even angrier roar, and its speed suddenly increased, looking like it was about to catch up with them.

"Damn! This beast!" Tang Tian couldn't help but curse, and the dagger in his hand was thrown out fiercely, hitting one of the Worm King's compound eyes.

The Worm King felt pain, let out a shrill hiss, and its speed slowed down slightly.

"Good chance!" Tang Yun seized the opportunity, pulled Lin Xiyue, and rushed out of the cave entrance first.

The Holy Son and Tang Tian followed closely behind and also rushed out.

As soon as they left the cave, the dazzling sunlight shone in, and everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes.

"Holy crap! Where... where is this?" Tang Tian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.

They were currently standing on a cliff, with a bottomless abyss under their feet, surrounded by clouds and mist, bottomless.

And behind them, the Worm King's huge body also appeared at the cave entrance, its scarlet compound eyes staring fixedly at them, and low roars came from its mouth.

"We're in big trouble now..." Tang Tian said with a bitter smile.

"What should we do now?" Lin Xiyue grabbed Tang Yun's hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.

Tang Yun did not speak; he scanned the surroundings and found an old, crooked tree growing on the edge of the cliff, with a thick trunk extending beyond the cliff.

"Perhaps... we can try..." Tang Yun took a deep breath and pointed to the old tree.

"Boss, you don't mean..." Tang Tian widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"There's no other way now." Tang Yun said firmly.

The Worm King had already begun to approach them, and there was not much time left for them.

Tang Yun grabbed the trunk first and climbed down carefully.

"I... I'm afraid of heights..." Lin Xiyue looked at the bottomless abyss under her feet, her face pale and her whole body trembling.

"Xiyue, trust me!" Tang Yun looked back at Lin Xiyue, his eyes full of encouragement.

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, closed her eyes, grabbed the trunk tightly, and began to climb down.

Tang Tian and the Holy Son followed closely behind and climbed onto the old tree.

Seeing Tang Yun and the others climbing onto the old tree, the Worm King let out an angry roar, and its huge body also began to approach the old tree.

Under the impact of the Worm King, the old tree shook violently, leaves fell one after another, as if it would break at any moment. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
