Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Rong Yan's answer basically confirmed Zhu Fuxian's speculation.

This hundred-year-old Spirit Pulse Worm Mother might not have been attracted by the spiritual vein.

But why did Rong Long do this?

Why release a Spirit Pulse Worm Mother?

Why have the Rong Family come to this area to reclaim spirit fields?

There must be a reason for all this!

But at this level, it seems to have nothing to do with Xu Zhangqing anymore.

After all, he is just a Spirit Cultivator, and he has already fulfilled his duty.

As for the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King behind, the hundred-year-old Spirit Pulse Worm Mother, and even capturing Rong Long, those are matters for others, namely the Grain Master and Abyss Master, to worry about.

And this wait stubbornly lasted from night until day.

Until the sun came out, a slight humming suddenly came from outside, then the ground began to shake, and one could clearly feel the heavy Earth Qi rapidly gathering.

Zhu Fuxian's figure flickered, and the whole person vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing immediately shook the drunk and sleeping Rong Yan awake: "Don't sleep, the Earth Pulse Abyss Master should have discovered that hundred-year-old Spirit Pulse Worm Mother."

"Ah?"

"What?"

"Oh!"

Rong Yan shivered, as if suddenly awakened.

The two closely followed him, immediately running out of the house.

This situation also attracted the attention of Huo Wan, Ji Mingxuan, and others, but they did not come out; instead, they opened the doors and windows, curiously looking outside.

When Xu Zhangqing and Rong Yan came out, they found Zhu Fuxian already standing near the spirit field where Qiansui Jinmang Rice was originally planted.

Not only him, but also Earth Pulse Steward Yang Zhenyue, and the two-zhang-tall Earth Pulse Abyss Master Shi Yuan.

The three all lowered their heads, gazing at the Kengdong ahead.

Xu Zhangqing soon arrived, first curiously glancing at them, then imitating them by looking into the Kengdong, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Inside, a straight passage had already been dug; how deep it was was unclear, but thick Earth Qi was surging out from within.

And there was an extremely pungent earthy smell.

But what truly shocked Xu Zhangqing were those dense worm eggs.

Too many to count, occupying the entire underground.

Some had already hatched, burrowing around in the black soil.

Some had not yet hatched, slightly wriggling inside the eggs.

The unhatched worm eggs were oval-shaped, smaller than a grain of rice, translucent all over, and one could vaguely see the curled outline of the young worm inside.

They were attached to the roots and stems of Lingti or soil crevices.

And the hatched Spirit Pulse Young Worms were about three cun long, entirely red, slender like red threads.

The worm body was covered with fine soft scales, emitting a faint metallic cold light under the light.

At the top position, there was a serrated large mouth.

On the head was a pair of dark red compound eyes the size of needle tips.

Tiny feet grew on both sides, moving at extremely high speed.

They constantly searched for roots and stems remaining in the black soil, then crazily gnawed on them.

Earth Pulse Steward Yang Zhenyue said with a solemn expression: "The Abyss Master and I entered this exhausted spiritual vein to investigate, and found that these worm eggs were everywhere inside, in very large numbers."

Especially at this location, they were too many to count.

Xu Zhangqing explained: "This is because the eggs of the Nimai Worm parasitize on the roots of mutated Lingti, and there was previously a mutated rice plant here, so this is the situation."

Yang Zhenyue and Abyss Master Shi Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, considered it understood.

Zhu Fuxian spoke: "Did you discover the Spirit Pulse Worm Mother?"

This time without waiting for Yang Zhenyue to speak again, Abyss Master Shi Yuan answered first: "We found traces, but are not quite sure, so we came to have you identify them."

Xu Zhangqing hesitated for a moment, tentatively asking: "Go... down?"

Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Fuxian smiled playfully: "It's time to broaden your horizons."

The words had just fallen, as a green light enveloped them.

Zhu Fuxian, Xu Zhangqing, Rong Yan, all drilled into the Kengdong.

Yang Zhenyue and Abyss Master Shi Yuan exchanged a glance, immediately transforming into Earth Qi and Yellow Qi, closely following behind.

Five people, three in front and two behind, continuously went down along the Kengdong, going deeper and deeper.

From ten meters to thirty meters, mixed with a large number of withered Lingti roots and stems.

These roots and stems were covered with fine worm holes, the edges of the hole mouths emitting dark red corrosion traces, and from time to time sticky red juice seeped out from the outside, which was the excrement of the Nimai Worm.

Even a "sha sha sha" sound could be heard, which was made by the insect swarm moving and gnawing.

Beyond a hundred meters, the soil was gradually replaced by blue-gray rock.

The rock surface was covered with spiderweb-like crimson patterns, at the intersections bulging "Worm Nest Tumors" the size of a child's fist, the tumor surfaces wriggling with dense young worms, all crazily gnawing on some kind of crystal in the rock, leaving many honeycomb-like holes.

When reaching over a thousand meters deep, the space suddenly expanded more than ten times.

Like an unknown grotto, it was extremely dim, gloomy, and damp.

And the "shasha" sound, as if amplified, countless "rustling" noises rose from all directions, making one's scalp tingle.

Here or now, it was a spirit vein hollowed out by worms.

Originally white spirit veins were dyed crimson by Nimai Worms, like a congealed river of blood.

Countless egg sacs stuck to the surroundings, each egg sac about the size of an adult's fist, wrapped inside with over a thousand Nimai Worm eggs.

As the egg sacs ruptured, thousands of young worms poured down like a red waterfall.

If one listened carefully, a faint low "humming" sound came from the depths.

"Hiss!"

Whether Xu Zhangqing or Rong Yan, both sucked in a breath of cold air.

Originally thought it was already serious above.

Only upon deep entry into the withered spirit vein did they discover how terrifying the worm mother was.

Zhu Fuxian introduced: "A hundred-year Nimai Worm Mother, under conditions of sufficient Spiritual Energy and Earth Qi, can produce five egg sacs per day, each egg sac containing about a thousand worm eggs."

If reaching two hundred years, the number of egg sacs will double.

By this analogy, the older the age, the higher the yield.

The two words "yield" were truly apt.

Even people as well-informed as Yang Zhenyue and Abyss Master Shi Yuan furrowed their brows upon hearing this, let alone newcomers Xu Zhangqing and Rong Yan witnessing this for the first time.

Zhu Fuxian looked to the side and asked: "Where is the trace?"

Yang Zhenyue pointed to the Right: "Over there."

Zhu Fuxian raised his Chin: "Lead the way."

Whoosh!

Yang Zhenyue flew off first.

The other four followed closely behind.

Along this way, wherever the gaze reached could be called "blood flowing like a river."

Any corner could be seen with crimson Spirit Pulse Young Worms, or worm eggs.

After moving about a hundred meters, suddenly a "buzz buzz buzz" sound came from ahead, and even the air began to tremble slightly.

Soon, everyone discovered the source of the sound, which was actually a group of winged Spirit Pulse Adult Worms.

These adult worms were nearly one chi long, their bodies covered with black-red hard scales, dark red mucus seeping from the scale gaps, dripping onto the ground and even corroding small pits.

On the head was a pair of compound eyes, surging with bloodthirsty red light.

The mouthparts evolved into curved tusks.

The tail dragged a straight sharp needle, flashing with a gloomy blue luster, one look and one knew it contained deadly poison!
