Chapter 607: Corpse Worms Parasitizing the Heart of the Sea of Blood
Kaka.
Another rock wall collapsed, and Yu Lie's figure flashed in it, and he grabbed a piece of immortal bone in his hand.
Then the fairy bone in his hand suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly reappeared, like a snake spitting out its tongue, and was finally thrown into the furnace of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
This is what Yu Lie did after he had cleansed the immortal bone he had obtained through the Spirit Transformation Pool in the Purple Mansion, removing some impurities from it and preventing any backup plans left by other people in the immortal bone.
After feeding this immortal bone, Yu Lie looked at his Hundred Demons Night Parade furnace and thought to himself:
"It has been nearly half a month since I entered this unknown corpse. The ghost furnace has already swallowed up nine pieces of immortal bones. Although the quality varies and each has its own defects, the nine pieces of immortal bones piled up in the furnace are enough to cause this furnace to undergo earth-shaking changes..."
What Yu Lie could feed the Ghost Stove was enough. The next step was to let the Ghost Stove digest it on its own, or he could find a place to hide and use fire to cook to promote the Ghost Stove's digestion.
However, Yu Lie is now in the last level of the secret realm, and there may be treasures all around him. Even the air is filled with strong and evil spirits. He does not have the time to retreat and nurture his magic weapon.
After careful consideration, Yu Lie raised his head and looked towards the deepest part of the place.
After exploring this area for a period of time, he has already figured out some rules of this area.
The place where he is now is only the periphery of the last level of heaven. The further inward he goes, the thicker the blood will become, and the more frequently the celestial bones will appear.
But at the same time, Yu Lie also intuitively sensed that the danger inside was becoming increasingly greater.
Due to various concerns, he has been wandering around the periphery recently, choosing to get any benefits he can get first.
Besides, Yu Lie was also thinking about whether he could run into Hei Shuizi. If they did, the two of them would work together, and the safety and success rate of hanging out here would be higher.
Unfortunately, this area is extremely vast, and the blood can block the qi and hinder the Taoist's senses.
After so many days, he actually didn't find any trace of any other Taoists.
Yu Lie exhaled: "Forget it, it's time to go in and take a look to see what's going on."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his figure flashed and flew towards the direction where the blood sea was becoming increasingly thick and turbid.
Very quickly, after two or three hours.
Yu Lie's eyes were shrouded in an even more condensed blood light, and the range that his eyesight could see was less than thirty feet, and the range that his spiritual sense could penetrate was shortened to less than ten feet.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he had become a blind man, and therefore he walked more cautiously in the sea of blood.
Suddenly, a wave emerged beyond Yu Lie's perception, like a snake crawling or a fish leaping.
He couldn't see the other person's figure or appearance clearly, and could only sense traces of something strange through the water waves.
And it was not just one wave, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of strange waves that came, and appeared in three directions of Yu Lie.
Only the direction from which he came had no signs of any foreign object.
From Yu Lie's perception, the other party was also rapidly surrounding him, trying to cover him like a big net.
"What the hell is this thing? It's so fast. Is there a Taoist ambushing me here?"
Yu Lie was filled with shock and suspicion, so he immediately turned around and retreated in the direction he came from.
Mist and strong winds appeared around him, and he used all his strength.
But what was strange was that when Yu Lie was about to escape from the encirclement of the foreign objects, he suddenly stopped and looked at the other party with puzzled eyes.
In an instant, Yu Lie retracted all the magical auras in his body, rolled up his Taoist robe, and his flesh and bones collapsed. In the blink of an eye, he lost his human form and turned into a red earthworm maggot.
Swish!
The next moment, the foreign objects that surrounded Yu Lie swam closer and finally revealed their original forms.
What they saw were actually numerous red earthworm maggots, densely packed and lying across the sea of blood, looking extremely ferocious and powerful.
Moreover, compared with the Dan earthworms that Yu Lie had encountered in the outside world, the Dan earthworms here had a stronger scent and were larger in size.
Looking over there, each one was as thick as a child's arm, and there were no small earthworms as thick as chopsticks at all.
When they swam to the front and back of Yu Lie's body, the earthworms could no longer track Yu Lie and suddenly lost their target, so they began to dance wildly within a thousand feet range.
Many earthworm maggots also hit Yu Lie's transformed insects.
Fortunately, his transformation skills were advanced enough that these earthworm maggots could not recognize him at all.
After dancing wildly for a while, the swarm of insects gradually calmed down.
Yu Lie's mind also gradually calmed down, and he said to himself:
"I never expected that there would be so many earthworm maggots here. If I can catch them all, the energy I need will be completely sufficient!"
In addition, he was also wondering whether there was a nest of earthworms deep in this place, and whether there were more precious immortal materials in the nest.
So next, Yu Lie did not wait for the swarm of insects to leave, but suppressed his mind, transformed into an inconspicuous flesh worm in the swarm, and followed along.
Anyway, the earthworms can't tell him apart, so why should he go through the trouble of groping around here on his own? It would be better for him to lurk among them and take advantage of them.
Soon, the swarm of insects retreated deeper.
The blood around him became thicker, making Yu Lie's perception even more obscured.
Fortunately, as he was traveling among the insect swarm, he gradually discovered that the speed of the swarm was getting slower and slower. After arriving at a certain place, they would hang in the blood one by one, standing upside down, and remain motionless.
The blood around also became calm and silent.
Yu Lie stayed where he was, standing there like a piece of wood for several hours.
When he found nothing unusual around him, he swam carefully and explored deeper.
When he just moved, the water waves he created triggered the earthworms maggots around him, but after waking up, the fleshworms did not notice any unusual smell, so they just moved a little and continued to stand still.
Even though some flesh worms keenly noticed that it was Yu Lie who was moving around randomly, they still subconsciously opened their mouths and bit Yu Lie.
But when Yu Lie avoided the opponent's attack, the opponent found that Yu Lie was a hyperactive fellow, so he let it go and shrank back.
This made Yu Lie even bolder. He rushed around in the stationary insect swarm. Anyway, these guys had low intelligence and could not recognize him at all.
Yu Lie even began to think about where he could set up the formation and divide this huge swarm of insects into several pieces, making it easier for him to use thunder and fire to burn and kill them, as well as force them into his purple palace for confinement.
But as he moved forward, he discovered a shocking situation.
That was an extremely large swarm of insects in his eyes, and its specific size was far beyond his expectations.
The swarm of earthworm maggots are not just lurking in a certain area deep in the sea of blood, but are everywhere. It can be said that they have formed a sea of worms!
After Yu Lie realized this, he refused to believe it and swam around in circles for a whole day, but still could not find the end of the swarm.
"Hiss! Where did these earthworms come from? Why did they fill up this place? What's in the depths of the insect swarm?"
With thoughts jumping in his mind, Yu Lie hesitated for a few times, finally gritted his teeth and began to swim towards the deepest part of the insect swarm.
Then, one after another, larger earthworm maggots passed by him.
Soon, a flesh worm ten feet in size appeared, and it was not the largest one. Two feet, three feet, ten feet... and even a ten-foot-thick earthworm maggot appeared in Yu Lie's perception.
Compared with them, the earthworms transformed by Yu Lie were as tiny as mosquitoes and grasshoppers.
Moreover, the aura of these huge earthworms also shocked him.
Even if he used the lightning energy produced by Lei San, he would most likely not be able to kill the flesh worms that were more than ten feet long, and might even be eaten by them as food.
After all, no matter how much the lightning energy can restrain this thing, it is not omnipotent. It depends on the quantity and quality of both sides.
Yu Lie had no choice but to follow his heart and change from his previous reckless state to being cautious again, for fear of alarming the giant earthworms around him.
Fortunately, his transformation technique was very powerful, and no matter how big the earthworms were, they could not detect any clues from him.
Finally, after spending an unknown amount of time, Yu Lie went fast and slow.
He swam to the deepest part, where several earthworm maggots with bodies as long as dragons appeared. Their aura was comparable to that of creatures at the Dancheng level!
They lay horizontally in front of us instead of standing upright, and were swaying slightly, as if they were not asleep.
This made Yu Lie extremely nervous. He was very worried that these earthworm maggots would discover his traces and try to bite him.
If this is the case, he can only expose his body, cast magic to protect his body, and stay alive.
Otherwise, with the power of the creature that has achieved Dancheng's power in every move, the flesh-worm body at the moment would not be able to resist at all.
Fortunately, such a scene did not occur, and the Dancheng flesh worms did not notice him at all.
A scene that surprised Yu Lie appeared at the end of his vision.
I saw a huge object like a palace appear. It had a strange shape and was marked with countless twisted lines. It looked ancient and weathered.
After careful identification, Yu Lie found that this object was extremely similar to a human heart, and was peach-shaped.
And those Dancheng-level Dan earthworm maggots are inserted on this giant object. At first glance, they look like blood vessels extending from a "heart".
But when Yu Lie continued to move forward and took another careful look, he found that the earthworm maggots were wriggling, as if they were constantly sucking something from the "heart".
The surface of the heart was covered and entangled with these flesh worms, like a rock wall of a pavilion covered with vines.
Yu Lie’s mind was full of thoughts, and he remembered that he was most likely in the body of some giant creature.
Then a strange thought popped into his mind: "Red earthworm maggot, red earthworm maggot... Could it be that this worm is the parasite or maggot in this huge corpse?"
Before Yu Lie could sort out this thought, a wave of movement swept across the surroundings, drawing all his attention.
Boom!
The "huge heart" that was entangled by the flesh worms trembled slightly and made a dong sound.
The waves it caused spread out, causing the blood and water within a radius of thousands of feet to shake. The earthworms and maggots entangled on it also swirled around wantonly, emitting a murderous aura and sucking nutrients from it even more vigorously.
Yu Lie stared at the direction where the beating sound came from, and was terrified: "Is it still alive?!"
But when he plucked up the courage to move closer again, the huge heart was no longer abnormal.
Apart from the evidence of the still lingering earthworm maggots, the heartbeat just now seemed to be just Yu Lie's hallucination.
Fortunately, Yu Lie waited patiently around the giant heart, observing its movements while looking for a hole that would allow him to drill in and take a look.
After several hours, the heart beat again.
This proves that the heartbeat just now was not Yu Lie’s hallucination, nor was it an accident.
This discovery made Yu Lie's gaze towards this object become extremely hot:
"A living immortal heart!!"
The look of great joy filled his mind, and it took him a long time to recover.
You must know that some time ago, he was wandering around the outskirts of the last heaven, and the "immortal bones" he dug up were all dead objects, and in a semi-petrified state, with most of the spiritual energy inside lost.
But even so, nine fairy bones the size of a baby's fist are enough to fill the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons furnace, and there is a 99% chance that they can be promoted to a fifth-grade magic weapon.
And now, a living immortal heart, or one that has not lost its activity, is swaying in front of Yu Lie, and he can't help but be excited.
Not to mention taking the whole thing away, he only needed to scrape some flesh and draw some blood from it, and all the materials needed to form a pill would be available!
Yu Lie was happily imagining, and thinking to himself:
"Judging from the size of this place, the owner of this heart was definitely not an ordinary immortal god when he was alive. He must be at least more powerful than that blood maggot... With the help of his essence and blood, I may even be able to make a first-grade pill!"
He was ready to make a move and could no longer suppress his greed.
With a whoosh, Yu Lie transformed into a red earthworm maggot and also lay on the huge heart. He looked for holes on its petrified surface and drilled into them, trying to squeeze in.
After a lot of effort, the huge heart beat eight more times.
It was not until the ninth time that Yu Lie found a suitable gap, and felt a surge of blood and energy like burning fire, so full of vitality that it even burned him.
This made Yu Lie not surprised but delighted, and he kept saying: "This heart is really alive and active!"
He quickly extended his spiritual sense inside, trying to find a suitable angle, and then drill his entire insect body into it to pick up the benefits.
But as soon as Yu Lie's spiritual consciousness entered, he suddenly retracted it and his heart skipped a beat.
If he was still in human form, his eyes would surely be hugely wide open, with a look of shock and confusion on his face.
"Someone?"
Because just now, Yu Lie's consciousness touched another consciousness deep in his heart, and in a flash, he also saw a human face...
