Chapter 357: Chapter 357

357 Something Coming

“Stay alert! Open your eyes wide, Guard GeLu don’t let your guard down, the enemy is very close”

In an instant the frightened voices of the city warriors rang out, where did the enemy come from? What could come in the middle of the forest if not XiaoWu and the other beasts.

Calm. There was no sound, it was very quiet, it was too quiet, usually, in the forest, there would be sounds of small and large animals like monkeys and others, but, now, it was too quiet. Until something suddenly appeared from the trees and hit several soldiers in the very front.

“Ah!” Don’t know what it was but those long black creatures immediately knocked the soldiers off their horses and bit their necks hard.

“Ahh”

“Brother!”

ChenMing and SuLang readied their weapons, while LiuHai and his men tried to fight whatever ferocious long creatures in large numbers came out of the bushes.

....

Blood floated in the air, there were the groans of soldiers as well as the groans of a creature that resembled a large worm with small sharp teeth that did not hesitate to bite the neck of its target.

.....

ChenMing helped a few soldiers who were overwhelmed, but the number of creatures was keep growing.

SuLang stood in front of BaiYing with his long spear drawn to protect him, the horses including XiaoHei panicked in fear, of course, whatever it was, it was definitely not an ordinary beast as it used to be.

“Young master Su, what are they?” Bai Ying asked.

SuLang opened his eyes wide, several creatures that were approaching them were immediately paralyzed by GeLu and his men.

“There is a legend that says that XiaoWu Mountain is indeed inhabited by many strange and mystical creatures, one of which is a one-eyed earthworm, it is said that this worm is the size of a horse and can eat humans though, but, that’s just a legend, so far creatures like it never appeared until no one knew the truth, how, they could appear at a time like this?”

GeLu also stood in front of BaiYing to protect the young man.

“Your Majesty, this could be due to a landslide, since the landslide, the ground in this area has lept moving, all creatures feel that their habitat is threatened and started to comes from their habitats”

“Then, what should we do? Their numbers seem very large and endless, this is, eh...” BaiYing looked around, the wounded soldiers and the creatures that had to be slashed with the sharp swords of the warriors, and ChenMing, even his clothes were stained with blood,

“Ah this will be very it smells bad” ChenMing grumbled seeing the blood on his still-wet clothes.

It wasn’t over yet, the ground beneath BaiYing’s feet moved again.

“Oh no, someone else is coming,” said GeLu, putting up a defence.

BaiYing’s eyes went wide, what else came now? He looked at ChenMing who was quite far away from him.

“Older brother!”

ChenMing turned his head, his eyes widened as he saw the ground not far in front of BaiYing appeared a fairly large mound, as if something was underground and trying to get out.

“Dam it, brother stay away from there!” ChenMing exclaimed trying to get closer, after finishing off a few worms he stomped his foot towards BaiYing, but just as fast as something appeared in front of him.

“Ah!” startled ChenMing almost crashing into him, he was forced to retreat back into place and couldn’t get close to BaiYIng and the others.

An enormous creature emerged from the ground, resembling a worm, but much larger than the others, a huge mouth with a body as big as a two-story house.

“Arrgghhh!” His roar was loud, opening his mouth full of small sharp teeth as if ready to bite anything he saw from the big round eyes in the middle of his head, it was a one eye worm-like what SuLang said.

The creature was right above ChenMing who fell, and his eyes seemed to be looking at him, ChenMing swallowed his saliva, this was the biggest and ugliest creature he had ever seen, the young man stood up quickly and attacked the creature.

“God damn it! Why is there such an ugly creature here?” he cried, lunging forward.

But his snorting breath was enough to make ChenMing’s body fly far away.

“Older brother!” BaiYing shouted, SuLang stepped forward, he stomped his foot against the slimy giant creature with his spear, however, the thrust from the sharp tip of the spear could only tickle the creature, and because of its extremely thick and slimy skin, SuLang almost lost his balance as he fell to the ground, but the young man did not give up, he stomped his foot back to attack with all his might, the worm turned its head towards SuLang and slammed its head against the small body,

“brukk!” very easily dropped the young man’s body threw him far into the trees.

“Ah!”

BaiYing clenched his fists, creating a white circle of fire in his hands, he shouldn’t be standing still while the others are getting overwhelmed, he could very easily defeat the creature,

He was about to attack the creature but SuLang preceded him, the young man jumped back onto the body of the big creature, stuck his spear into his hard and slippery body, although it couldn’t penetrate the skin, but young master Su did not lose his mind, before he grabbed the rope from his saddle which was now tied to his waist, threw it over the creature’s head and tied to its neck.

“Arrgghhh!”

The creature tried to struggle when SuLang’s rope managed to follow its neck, that’s when ChenMing appeared, his eyes sharp, he wiped his mouth which was slightly bleeding from the pounding of the creature’s spiritual energy earlier.

“God damn it!” with shining eyes the young man stomped his foot in attack with a drawn long sword, helping SuLang injure the creature.

“Arrrgggh!”

It’s loud moaning while contorting its body was enough to overwhelm SuLang and ChenMing, the big creature was not the opponent of the two, which was very small in his eyes, but he was quite overwhelmed by the continuous attacks from ChenMing and SuLang that didn’t stop hitting his body.

“Hold the head!” Chen Ming exclaimed.

SuLang nodded, he jumped down to the ground while lowering his two legs to form a stance to hold the rope that tied the creature’s neck, but he didn’t know if he could last long enough because of the creature’s powerful strength.

“Your Majesty, I can’t hold it anymore”

ChenMing tried to attack the creature’s eyes, he would just stab it and blind it, he thought because eyes are the weakest part and are not protected.

“Hold on! I will attack its eyes”

But BaiYing disagree, the creature only had one eye.

“No Brother, don’t.”

With the white flames already gathered in his hands, BaiYing threw them at the giant worm’s body.

“Argghhhh!” A loud scream of pain was heard, part of the back of the worm’s body was burned by BaiYing’s flames. He struggled so hard that he threw SuLang who was holding the rope tied around his neck, hitting ChenMing’s body into the trees.

“Ah!”

The creature struggled, it was in pain, of course, BaiYing’s white fire was difficult to extinguish even though the worm was already rolling on the muddy ground, all moved away as the giant creature struggled, until finally after looking at BaiYing for a while, the worm twisted its body hit the ground with its head, it ran away.

“Arrgh!”

ChenMing who fell near a dense tree approached BaiYing again, as did SuLang who had a hard time due to falling so hard that his body almost crushed him.

“Akh, Your Majesty”

SuLang left behind what happened, in an instant the worm had fled. But ChenMing looked at his little brother intently.

“This little brother, why don’t you let me pierce its eyes!” ChenMing exclaimed in annoyance.

“No Brother, that creature only has one eye, if it is blind it will be difficult to find food later” BaiYing replied with sharp eyes looking at his brother.

“Why is he need to look for food anymore? Brother is planning to kill it, you”

BaiYing wanted to scream again, but ChenMing’s eyes were already fixed on him.

“Next time that creature can kill more people, another more victims will fall, this brat, next time, if we meet another creature you have to kill it” ChenMing exclaimed somewhat annoyed.

BaiYing stuttered, he followed his brother who was checking on the city soldiers and his men who had been injured. BaiYing was about to go before his brother to check on the people but ChenMing held his hand.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

BaiYing struggled to release his brother’s tight grip on his wrist.

“Ying’er wants to help them, they are hurt”

“No need, you are just wasting your energy, save it to kill other strange creatures if you meet them again”

“But brother, they are injured, let Ying do something”

The young man insisted, he tried to let go of ChenMing’s grip.

SuLang and the head bodyguard GeLu glanced at each other, both of them didn’t know what to do, SuLang groaned a bit when he noticed the torn wound on his hand was still bleeding dripping down to the ground.

The ground was full of mud, instantly the blood of SuLang and the soldiers fell and fell deep into the ground.

“Brother!”

ChenMing pulled BaiYing’s hand away from the soldiers and looked for a place to rest.

“Brother’s hand is injured, you must be responsible, just treat this” ChenMing exclaimed.

BaiYing pursed his lips.

“Brother”
