Chapter 26: Long Worm

The long worm had dark brown patterns intertwined on its body, and it was as thick as the waist of an eight or nine-year-old child. Its body was coiled around a large banyan tree, and it stared coldly at Li Tongya and the others with yellow vertical pupils.

"What a big long worm!"

While exclaiming, Li Tongya pinched the technique, but his hands were not slow at all. As soon as the words fell, the dim golden light had already appeared in his hands.

The long worm hissed and spat out a bright red tongue. It opened its mouth wide and suddenly spat out a thick black mist.

The golden light arrived first, heading straight for the chin of the brown-patterned long worm, hitting the long worm's head to one side, and the black mist poured onto a tree on the side.

That large banyan tree creaked instantly, and its lush branches and leaves were instantly corroded, turning into drops of black water dripping into the soil, and even the main trunk, which was as thick as two people could embrace, was corroded by a thick layer.

"Hiss."

Li Yesheng and the others saw this and were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, looking as if they were about to run away.

"Watch it, retreat slowly."

Saving Li Yesheng and several villagers from the long worm, Li Tongya shook his head solemnly and said in a low voice.

Watching the few people retreat slowly, the long worm did not pursue, but coiled on that large banyan tree and stared coldly at the crowd.

Until that large banyan tree disappeared from view, Li Qiuyang said timidly:

"That fruit is behind the tree!"

"No rush."

Li Tongya waved his hand and instructed Li Yesheng:

"Call the villagers in the village, take the long sticks and iron shovels from every household, and if there are bows, it's even better. Bring bows and arrows and go up the mountain together."

"Yes."

Li Yesheng responded, and hurriedly went down the mountain with those few villagers.

Li Xiangping patted Li Qiuyang on the shoulder and said:

"You must have met this long worm foraging at that time. Not only did you escape with your life, but you also got an opportunity! Go back to the courtyard and practice, there's nothing for you here."

Seeing Li Qiuyang sweating profusely, he responded and went down the mountain. Li Xiangping found a blue stone and sat down, saying to Li Tongya:

"This long worm has such hard scales, a Jin Guang Technique only shattered a few scales on its chin."

"Looking at its appearance, it's just a small monster in the breath realm. Its spiritual wisdom has not been opened. What is the use of hard scales?"

Li Tongya replied lightly, carefully observing the terrain.

Before long, the strong men of Lijing Village went up the mountain one after another. Hearing that they were going to kill a monster, they were both uneasy and excited, walking cautiously behind Li Yesheng.

Li Tongya surveyed the terrain, found Liu Linfeng, and asked:

"Uncle, I heard that the Liu family used traps to kill wild boars last year. I don't know how big a trap is suitable for such a big long worm?"

Liu Linfeng hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously:

"I heard that this long worm is a monster, so it cannot be measured by common sense. What if it can fly..."

Li Xiangping said, muttering to himself in his heart:

"If this long worm could fly, would we still be alive right now?"

"Then it's easy to handle!"

Hearing Li Xiangping's words, Liu Linfeng made a guarantee, directed the crowd to dig a pit, and under his pointing, he covered the traces of fresh soil and covered it with withered leaves.

Liu Linfeng had also been holding back for a long time. Although the Li family was powerful in the past, they at least gave the Liu family face, and would come to ask if there was anything in the village.

"This can't go on. My Liu family must find a place to use under the protection of the Li family, otherwise, it will decline sooner or later!"

While directing, Liu Linfeng thought secretly.

Li Tongya didn't know that Liu Linfeng had so much drama in his heart. He and Li Xiangping were busy attaching the Jin Guang Technique to the arrows. If they didn't use it, the spell could probably last for six to seven hours, which was enough to kill the long worm.

The magic power of the two of them could probably be attached more than ten times each. When the magic power was exhausted, they adjusted their breath. By the time the crowd finished digging the pit and covered the traces of fresh soil, the two had also finished adjusting their breath.

The villagers set up their formation, those with long sticks stood in front, and those with bows stood behind, each holding an arrow attached with the Jin Guang Technique, walking cautiously toward the long worm.

The people in front walked to the large banyan tree and couldn't help but exclaim in unison:

"What a terrible long worm!"

The long worm coiled on a large banyan tree, and its bright yellow vertical pupils made everyone feel terrified. It opened its mouth and spat out a thick black mist.

The golden light arrived first, and those arrows, attached with the Jin Guang Technique, were extremely sharp, hanging one by one on the brown-patterned scales of the long worm.

Having been disturbed several times, the long worm was finally angry, hissed and spat out its tongue, abandoned the banyan tree, and coiled toward the crowd.

The people in front scattered instantly. Li Tongya and Li Xiangping hurriedly pinched the technique to release streams of golden light, hitting the long worm until it screamed in pain. It raised its golden pupils to look at the two and rushed over rapidly.

The two were not surprised but happy, watching the long worm coil along the cliff slope, and shouted loudly:

"Ready!"

The long worm was walking, but felt its body sink, and almost hit the large hole under the withered leaves on the ground.

It was just that the long worm's body was quite long, and it didn't fall into the trap for a while. The snake head raised quickly, resting on the other end of the trap, watching it about to climb up.

A group of villagers emerged from the cliff, pushing a large blue stone together, shouting in unison:

"Hit!"

The blue stone fell, hitting the long worm's back squarely. For a time, bones were broken, and the brown-patterned long worm hissed, instantly pressed to the bottom of the pit, its snake head raised high, its half body bent into a U-shape, but it couldn't move.

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Linfeng laughed loudly behind the crowd, watching his masterpiece succeed, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Up!"

Li Yesheng shouted, and everyone picked up the sharpened bamboo and poked into the pit.

Although the long worm's scales were hard, it couldn't withstand more than a dozen big men tossing it like this. Everyone poked for half an hour, and only stopped when the bamboo they picked up was dyed bright red.

After confirming again and again that the long worm was dead, the crowd cheered, feeling proud, and discussed how to get the long worm out and carry it back to the village.

Leaving Liu Linfeng to preside over the matter, Li Tongya and Li Xiangping took Li Yesheng and several confidants to quietly bypass the back of the large banyan tree.

Seeing the white bones all over the dense grass, Li Yesheng sighed and said:

"Li Yesheng went up the back mountain a few years ago and never came back. He must have bumped into the long worm foraging and was swallowed by it."

Li Xiangping nodded naturally, but Li Tongya looked at the small tree with five red fruits hanging on it, his expression solemn, and said to Li Yesheng:

"Take people to watch this place, don't let anyone come over." ===== CHAPTER 27 =====

"Take some men and watch this place; do not let anyone come over."
