Chapter 64: Meeting on a Narrow Road
“In case everyone doesn’t understand, the monster that suddenly attacked me just now is called the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm.”
Qi Xuan said to the camera while moving away from the River channel:
“The Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm’s form is somewhat like an octopus. Its head is oval-shaped, and it usually hides deep in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water. The head is directly connected to dozens or even hundreds of slender tentacles. The ends of the tentacles have enlarged mouthparts, which are filled with sharp teeth and barbs. Basically, once you are swallowed by it, you will lose a layer of skin if you don’t die.”
“Usually, the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm will extend many tentacles into the water and rely on the powerful vortex created by rapidly Devouring the flowing water to constantly devour the surrounding Prey.
If it encounters Prey that it cannot Devour or that can cleverly evade it, it will further trigger its attack mechanism. Many tentacles will surge over to encircle and kill. Generally, in this case, even Ferocious beast of the same level as it are often difficult to escape.”
After a pause, he glanced at the River channel in the distance and then said:
“To be honest, I was very surprised that the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm appeared in this place, because under normal circumstances, it should be active in the deep sea of a large river. Although this River is wide, it should not have reached its settling standard.
This is also the reason why I couldn’t react when I encountered the dark vortex. I never expected that the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm would be active in this River.
A moment of negligence almost cost me my life.”
Speaking of this, Qi Xuan was still in Lingering fear.
The audience in the Live Stream Room only saw him successfully escape, avoiding the pursuit of the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm.
But the real situation was far more dangerous than they imagined.
Because this Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm is a genuine Second Rank Demon Beast.
Since the beginning of the transmigration, he has explored the Jungle everywhere and encountered many animals and Ferocious beast.
For example, the White Silk Blind Snake, for example, the Thorn Iron Bug.
For example, the Giant Octopus, for example, the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon.
For example, the Circular-Patterned Leech, and even the many Alligator Gar that were captured not long ago.
These peculiar species, whether they are called animals or Ferocious beast, are all classified as Demon Beast in the 《Encyclopedia》.
Of course, not all Wild Beast will be classified as Demon Beast.
The difference between Demon Beast and Wild Beast is that Demon Beast can absorb Spiritual Energy, have the potential to evolve, and even later can give birth to intelligence, and even awaken all kinds of extraordinary talents.
The gap between Demon Beast and Demon Beast is even so large that it is hard to imagine.
For example, the White Silk Blind Snake and the Thorn Iron Bug are also Demon Beast, but with the strength they showed at the time, they were at most equivalent to the Zero Rank—able to threaten ordinary people, but easily killed by Qi Condensation.
As for the Circular-Patterned Leech and even the Alligator Gar, the levels are all in the First Rank, roughly equivalent to between Qi Refining First Level and Third Rank.
Among them, the Circular-Patterned Leech is around Second Rank, and those Alligator Gar are all First Rank.
However, he has not encountered stronger Demon Beast.
For example, the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon in the mist sea, it was too far away, he wasn’t very clear, but judging from the other party’s sensitivity at the time, it could at least reach Third Rank.
And the strongest Demon Beast he has encountered so far, that Giant Octopus that was entrenched in the Swamp, its tentacles alone were comparable to the thickness of a train, and its body was like a mountain. Even if a Foundation Stage Cultivator went over, they would probably be swallowed in one bite. It is estimated that the worst would be equivalent to the peak of Foundation Stage—about Sixth Rank.
As for the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm he encountered this time, although it was only Second Rank, judging from the thickness of its tentacles, it was not far from Third Rank.
Specifically, its strength is roughly equivalent to Qi Refining Stage 6.
If he hadn’t drawn the Diamond Talisman last time, he would have been finished this time when crossing the River.
What Gale Palm, what Space-Splitting Leg, or even the Substitute Death Talisman, none of them worked.
Because the Substitute Death Talisman can only substitute once, and in that kind of underwater environment, once entangled, the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm can kill him a hundred or a thousand times.
This also reminded Qi Xuan that although the Substitute Death Talisman’s effect was heaven-defying, it was not omnipotent.
If he encounters this kind of environment that continuously triggers death, even ten more wouldn’t necessarily be enough.
With such a Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm blocking the way, under normal circumstances, he should have chosen to give up.
But Qi Xuan still had some clever ideas.
He walked into the Jungle next to him while chatting with the camera.
Seeing that the direction he was walking gradually deviated from the River channel and the return route, the Netizen in the Live Stream Room were all full of question marks:
“What’s going on? Has Qi God gone the wrong way?”
“This isn’t the way home. If you take a detour, you shouldn’t choose this side either.”
“Are you going to build a boat out of wood again? Listen to my advice, Qi God, it’s useless no matter how big you build your boat.”
“What about building a bridge?”
“Building a bridge is useless! With the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm’s attack speed, before you finish building the bridge, the person is gone.”
……
While the Netizen were discussing, Qi Xuan had already arrived above the Hillside in the forest.
He picked and chose, found a rugged Huge Stone with a diameter of one meter nearby, and then took out a thick and tough rope and tied it on the spot.
After doing this, he came to the front of the Hillside and looked at the Jungle across the River.
After aiming at the position, he retreated more than ten steps, held the Huge Stone and spun it around, and finally let go.
In the sharp whistling sound, the Huge Stone was like a cannonball, drawing a long parabola and falling into the opposite Jungle.
Qi Xuan suddenly pulled the rope, and the Huge Stone that landed on the other side was pulled up by him, stuck between the thick Branches, and remained motionless.
He tied the other end of the thick rope to a large tree next to it.
With the help of the Terrain on both banks, the thick rope was stretched into a straight Suspension Cable in the air.
Seeing this scene, the Netizen in the Live Stream Room couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise:
“I’ll go! Suspension Cable crossing!”
“Awesome, you can actually come up with this method!”
“It’s just Qi God, with great skill and courage. If it were me, even if I had a Suspension Cable, I would have to be afraid of heights and pass out.”
……
The Netizen were excitedly discussing, and Qi Xuan was also quite emotional.
He didn’t expect that the seemingly useless rope could be used in this place.
After testing the toughness and load-bearing capacity of the rope, he hooked his hands on the rope, then suddenly flipped over, stepped on the rope with his feet, and walked as if on flat ground.
This scene once again aroused countless exclamations in the Live Stream Room, but for Qi Xuan, it was a normal operation.
After all, he is an Immortal Cultivator, and his grasp of body balance is far above that of ordinary people.
Even, after adapting to the bumps of the rope, he started running quickly on the rope, quickly rushing towards the other side.
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
He rushed past the short riverbank and came to the top of the River.
The speed increased again!
His figure flashed like a shadow, rushing fiercely towards the other side, as if flying.
In just a moment, Qi Xuan had rushed to the middle of the River channel.
This place is about fifty or sixty meters away from where he was attacked before.
It stands to reason that he should be far away from the location of the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm.
While countless viewers were paying close attention.
Just as Qi Xuan was about to rush to the other side.
A section of thick and tough Tentacle suddenly broke through the water surface and attacked like lightning!
