Just as the two continued to walk forward, an incredibly terrifying sound suddenly came from ahead.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
A series of terrifying, indescribable sounds entered Ye Lin's and Lu Daosheng's ears, and Ye Lin frowned.
The panel showed that Lu Daosheng had previously found the queen worm in this cave, and since Lu Daosheng, with his cultivation, could find the queen worm, why was it so difficult for him now?
He had walked so far, yet still hadn't found the queen worm.
"Die."
Ye Lin raised his right hand, and instantly, a fiery red flame appeared around him.
In an instant, the flames filled the entire cave, and Blood Worms were burned to dust, with crackling sounds echoing in the air.
A burnt smell entered their noses.
In front of the terrifying Phoenix Fire, these Blood Worms didn't even have a chance to get close.
In an instant, the entire cave was cleared, and the path ahead looked much better.
A few seconds passed, and the two arrived at the center of a giant cavern, where a massive platform lay ahead, upon which a white maggot was curled up.
This maggot was a hundred meters long, entirely white, with four pairs of eyes at its head, and dense teeth in its abyssal maw.
From a distance, it looked extremely horrifying.
"This should be the queen worm, right?"
Lu Daosheng looked at the giant maggot above and spoke.
He was not shocked by the queen worm's appearance, because he had seen things far more terrifying than this maggot; this was merely a trivial matter.
"It should be."
Ye Lin nodded indifferently, looking around the cavern.
The walls around were covered with all sorts of dense, protruding particles, filling the entire cavern, countless in number.
Upon closer inspection, these particles were indeed individual worm eggs.
"Hiss."
At this moment, the queen worm above suddenly let out a roar, and below, a large wave of worms surged in from all directions.
"Out."
Ye Lin formed a hand seal, and a small fiery red Phoenix appeared above his head; the small Phoenix grew with the wind, and slowly, a giant fiery red Phoenix, flapping its wings, floated above the entire cavern.
"Screech!"
With a sharp shriek, streams of flame spread in all directions, like waves, one after another, their terrifying temperature instantly melting the surrounding rocks.
If not for Ye Lin protecting Lu Daosheng, Lu Daosheng would have long been vaporized by the Phoenix Fire.
"You stay here and don't move."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he leaped several times towards the queen worm.
Meanwhile, several Soul Devouring Insects suddenly appeared around, rushing towards Ye Lin with their sharp fangs.
However, they were all turned into blood mist by Ye Lin's punches.
"Die."
Ye Lin arrived above the queen worm's head and threw a punch towards it.
"Hiss."
The queen worm raised its head and let out a huge shriek, and instantly, Ye Lin stopped his movements, closing his eyes to protect his Divine Soul.
For a moment, he almost lost control of his Divine Soul.
He didn't expect the queen worm to directly attack the Divine Soul.
"Die."
Just now, Ye Lin was merely careless; recovering himself, he threw several punches.
Instantly, a terrifying golden light flashed, and the queen worm's enormous head was directly blown apart.
After the queen worm died, the surrounding Blood Worms scattered.
They had obeyed the queen worm's commands and were fearless of death, but now that the queen worm was gone, they naturally dispersed.
"The queen worm's strength is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, but its most terrifying aspect is its ability to continuously breed Blood Worms."
After dealing with the queen worm, Ye Lin clapped his hands and spoke.
The Phoenix Fire around them also began to disappear at this time.
Looking at the queen worm's corpse, Ye Lin directly waved his hand, and the queen worm's massive body was thrown directly onto the ground below, where a crimson small flag appeared from its abdomen.
An extremely evil aura emanated from the small flag.
Cultivators with low cultivation would fall into Qi Deviation just by staring at this flag for a while.
There was something on this flag that could disturb one's Divine Soul.
"Presumably, this is the blood fiend flag."
Ye Lin beckoned with his hand, and the blood fiend flag slowly flew into his grasp.
Looking at the mysterious patterns on the blood fiend flag, Ye Lin put it away.
This blood fiend flag was undoubtedly an item belonging to a Demonic Path Cultivator.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Lin placed the blood fiend flag into his space ring; no matter what, this item was an Earth Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, incredibly valuable.
After everything was done, Ye Lin finally came before Lu Daosheng.
"Tell me about the function and usage of the blood fiend flag."
Lu Daosheng, who was in a daze, fell into contemplation when Ye Lin asked him, and then spoke.
He dared not ask Ye Lin why he asked this question; now, he only needed to answer honestly.
"The blood fiend flag is Blood Taoist's Natal Spiritual Artifact. Its main function is to absorb blood. In this world, as long as it's blood, the blood fiend flag can absorb it."
"Once enough blood is absorbed, upon activation, the blood fiend flag can unleash an extremely terrifying attack."
"The blood fiend flag also has another function: it can convert the absorbed blood into pure Spiritual Qi to feed back to its owner, allowing the owner's cultivation to advance rapidly."
"It can also extend one's lifespan."
"These are all the functions of the blood fiend flag. As for how to activate it, I don't know."
After listening to Lu Daosheng's explanation, Ye Lin nodded. This was indeed a Demonic Path Spiritual Artifact.
However, he had no use for this item for now.
"Hehehe, we've finally waited! It seems our actions just now were correct."
Just as the two were conversing, three people dressed in black walked in from the cave entrance.
The three of them looked at Ye Lin and Lu Daosheng, letting out strange laughs.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Yan Luo. You now have three seconds. Within three seconds, hand over the blood fiend flag."
Yan Luo, one of the three, looked at Ye Lin with a cruel smile on his face, introducing himself.
"Oh? People from the Demonic Path?"
Looking at the three in front of him, Ye Lin had no fear whatsoever; they were just three small fry at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage, whom he could crush with a single hand.
"That's right, but time has passed. If you don't hand it over, we'll take it ourselves."
After Yan Luo finished speaking, his Divine Soul suddenly stirred, and the three quickly rushed towards Ye Lin.
Their speed was extremely fast.
Anyway, there were only two people here. If they didn't give it, they would take it themselves. Yan Luo had always disliked talking nonsense with people.
"Clowns, be gone!"
Looking at the three in front of him, Ye Lin sneered, then formed a sword with two fingers and unleashed a sword strike.
Instantly, an incredibly terrifying sword light appeared, and the three, who had rushed forward so fast, were sent flying back at three times that speed.
The three figures crashed heavily into the wall behind them, creating a large hole in the wall.
"Damn it, it's a Prodigy from a major power! Stick to the old plan."
Yan Luo clutched his chest and cursed under his breath as he looked at Ye Lin. They hated these Prodigies from major powers the most.
Each of them was nurtured with top-tier resources, coupled with their incredibly strong innate talent. Within the same cultivation stage, ordinary Cultivators like them were no match.
Since that was the case, they would proceed according to their Demonic Path's usual style.
