Chapter 206

After burning like this for another three days, Lin Yan suddenly discovered that this Demon Worm Abyss was about to be burned clean by him!

"Why is this abyss's area so small!"

Lin Yan said with a soft exclamation.

This Demon Worm Abyss's area was indeed not large.

By Lin Yan's rough estimate, this Demon Worm Abyss's length was only about five or six hundred kilometers, its width only about three or four hundred kilometers, roughly forming an irregular rectangle.

A bit smaller than the area of the Beastman Kingdom east of the Misty Region.

In this area, Lin Yan used eight days and basically burned through two-thirds of it!

"This should be an upper-layer abyss."

Lin Yan thought.

No one knew how large the abyss was—this referred to all the abysses, not any specific A Certain Layer abyss.

In fact, there was even an abyss only about ten-something kilometers across.

Even... an abyss only the size of a single volcano.

These were territories built by some Magma Lords or Flame Demon Lords; if someone accidentally stumbled inside, the ending was usually not good!

"There's still seven days left. First burn through this layer of the abyss, then see if I can find another abyss entrance!"

Thinking this, Lin Yan drove his flames and burned toward the remaining area.

At this moment, at the edge of the Demon Worm Abyss where Lin Yan was, a group of people arrived.

This group of people was, surprisingly, a band of humans traveling together.

This group of humans all wore the same style of clothing, looking like students from some academy on the Gods' Continent.

"Wow, so this is the abyss, it's so dark! There won't be any danger, right?"

One student said worriedly.

"This is an upper-layer Demon Worm Abyss. The abyssal creatures here aren't very strong—the strongest is only a small lord-level Abyss Lord. As long as the Abyss Lord doesn't come, any other abyssal lifeforms that come—Senior Qi can kill one, and if two come, Senior Qi can kill a pair!"

Another student said.

In front of this group of students, an older-looking man held his head slightly raised, a posture carrying a faint hint of pride.

"Memorize the teleportation incantation firmly, and stay close by my side. A senior from our academy discovered this not-very-strong Demon Worm Abyss, which is perfect for broadening your horizons. You are all heaven's pride of the academy—it would be a pity if you were accidentally killed by an Abyss Lord."

At this moment, a middle-aged woman who looked like a teacher said.

"Teacher, don't worry. How could there be so many Abyss Lords?"

The student who had just been flattering "Senior Qi" said.

The moment his words fell, the ground began to rumble with a "Boom boom boom—".

This student opened his eyes and looked—before him, many enormous Demon Worms were charging over at full speed.

These Demon Worms were each five or six meters tall; for a bug to grow to such a size, one could imagine just how strong they must be!

"So many Abyss Lords!"

Seeing this scene, that teacher's eyes narrowed.

"Quickly chant the incantation! These are all Abyss Lords—I'll hold them off for you!"

Her words caused the students to stir in panic.

"Heavens, why are there so many Abyss Lords!"

"It's over, it's over, I forgot one word."

"I forgot too!"

That group of students was terrified by the scene before them—with so many Abyss Lords charging at them, it would be strange if they weren't panicking.

In their fright, one by one they actually forgot the teleportation incantation.

They could only watch helplessly as those Abyss Lords charged over.

That middle-aged teacher had already prepared for battle.

But her strength was enough to handle one small lord—here there were this many Abyss Lords!

"Why haven't you left yet!"

She was getting anxious too.

"Teacher, I forgot a key word."

A little girl was about to cry.

Just as the middle-aged teacher was about to charge over, she suddenly discovered that these Abyss Lords' target wasn't them at all!

These Abyss Lords came to their side one by one, their gazes not looking at them at all, but staring fixedly at the direction they had just run from, as if facing a formidable enemy!

Although this was the edge of the abyss, everything around was a hazy gray—you couldn't break out of here.

That group of students standing beside these Abyss Lords had the souls scared right out of them.

But they soon discovered that these Abyss Lords were completely ignoring them!

Moreover, some of the Abyss Lords' bodies were even trembling!

They seemed to be afraid!

But this was within the abyss, and there were so many of these Abyss Lords—even if a Seventh Rank or even Eighth Rank magician came, after being suppressed by the abyss's laws, they wouldn't make these lords fear; instead, they would be seen as prey.

What were they afraid of?
