Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 181: Fighting the Footworm Together

"What do you know, little brat? I want to be reunited with my brother, but I can't get out of here."

"Senior, what about you who said at the beginning that you would secretly help us when we were looking for the sacred stone? How can you help us if you can't even get out?"

Longsha angrily confronted Zhenlong, thinking that he was just talking big. Zhenlong was not convinced.

"When I say help secretly, I mean to let the kids around me help you."

Everyone looked up, looked around, and couldn't find the child Zhenlong mentioned! They all sighed and lowered their heads.

"Do you remember the tree you came in with? I can ask it to help you."

"Senior, are you talking about that tree? Isn't that the barrier to enter this secret realm?"

"Oh my god, you're kidding! That's the Tree of Life, it has an endless supply of vitality. As long as you're not dead and still have a breath, I can save your life. Isn't that a help?"

"Wow, so powerful? Where is it now?"

Hanzai asked innocently, and Ruirui's words left everyone breathless.

"Didn't that tree explode and blow apart? I guess there's not even any ashes left!"

"Of course it's with me. Don't talk nonsense, you little brat."

A small sapling appeared in the real person's hand, emitting a bright green light.

"Senior, Soul Grass and Gui Yuan were both trapped in their own barriers before, and we accidentally broke in. Since then, we have been able to come in and out freely. Why don't you come with us and give it a try?"

"Is there such a thing? Then I'll give it a try."

The real dragon slowly followed Bixi toward the intersection, but an invisible wall inexplicably blocked his path. Furious, the real dragon fumed and glared.

"What did I say? It's because I can't get out that I've been trapped here for thousands of years. I use this Tree of Life to survive. I gave this young man the Divine Stone so that he could find a way for me to get out. Unexpectedly, after all these years, he still hasn't found it."

"Long Qing, Long Sha, Meng Meng, Rui Rui, the four of you give it a try. You four are all descendants of the dragon clan, so you should be able to sense it."

The four of them stood before the barrier, gently pushing against it with their hands, but it still bounced back. Everyone was baffled. Could it be that this barrier didn't belong to their bloodline? It couldn't be broken by this relationship. Could there be another purpose?

"I remember that Na summoned Gui Yuan when she was pregnant with Han and Yan, and Gui Yuan said it was because of his bloodline. Senior Hun Cao was Na's brother who broke into the valley, and Senior Hun Cao said it was because of the Earth Spirit. Senior Bai Lan was pregnant with the fox cubs that time, so who can we rely on this time? Without Na, can we not do it?"

After hearing this, Meng Meng took out the small dagger she carried with her and cut her palm, which was immediately covered in blood.

Meng Meng endured the pain and slapped the barrier. The barrier shattered like a spider web, scattering in all directions. And it was visible to the naked eye.

The real dragon looked at the cute cub with joy. "Little boy, I didn't expect you to have such ability. Grandpa is very happy."

Meng Meng increased her strength. With a bang, the barrier was completely broken. Suddenly, everyone felt that the sky above their heads was much bluer, the air was much fresher, and there were bursts of birdsong and flowers!

After leaving the secret realm and entering the valley, they discovered a hidden wonderland. A dazzling array of exotic flowers and herbs, including many rare medicinal herbs, filled the valley. Meng Meng excitedly ran over to pick some, but was stopped by a real dragon.

"These spiritual creatures have their own spirituality and cannot be moved at will." The real dragon warned.

Everyone walked cautiously and came to an ancient stone tablet. There were some strange runes engraved on the stone tablet, which looked like some kind of formation.

"This is probably the key to the exit." Long Sha observed the stone tablet carefully.

At this moment, the ground began to shake violently, and a huge monster emerged from the ground. The monster, with its fangs and claws bared, pounced on everyone.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhenlong pulled Mengmeng to the side, and everyone dodged quickly!

"What kind of monster is this? It has so many legs, more than a map has legs!"

Long Qing was shocked and transformed into a beast, slapping the monster with its tail. However, the monster was not a pushover either. With its many legs, it made a Z-shaped turn. Long Qing's tail missed, and before he could slap it a second time, the monster's Z-shaped tail jumped into the air and locked onto its tail. The monster rolled on the spot and pulled Long Qing down from the air!

With a loud "bang", dust flew all over the ground and everyone shouted.

"Long Qing!" The dust cleared, revealing a trace of blood oozing from the corner of Long Qing's mouth. Clearly, he was seriously injured. Seeing this, the monster grew even more elated, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Long Qing.

At the critical moment, a hint of cunning flashed in Mengmeng's eyes. She quietly clenched the dagger in her hand, aimed at the monster's eyes and threw it.

The monster was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and its eyes hurt, so it temporarily stopped attacking.

The dragon took the opportunity to rush forward and started a fierce battle with the monster. In the face of the dragon's powerful strength, the monster gradually lost the upper hand.

Long Sha, Bixi and others were ready to take action when the monster hurt Long Qing. Now they seized the opportunity and rushed forward to beat him up!

Finally, everyone completely killed the monster and sat down, panting heavily.

"What kind of monster is this? It has so many legs and is so powerful. One or two people are no match for it!"

Long Qing spoke with lingering fear, and everyone shook their heads, expressing their confusion about the monster's origins. Only the real dragon could explain it!

"This monster is called the 'Centipede'. It enjoys eating human flesh and often appears in dark, damp places." The True Dragon paused, then continued, "If we fight alone, it will be difficult to defeat it. This time, only if you all work together can we defeat it."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of heroism in their hearts.

"However..." Zhenlong changed the subject, "Why this centipede appeared here is really puzzling. There must be other dangers here. We need to be extra careful."

Before the True Dragon could finish his words, he saw Longsha and some of his cubs chopping off the centipede's legs, while Bixi was searching inside the monster's skull with a knife when he suddenly cried out in surprise.

"I guessed right, this is a ferocious beast, Longsha, cut open its belly and see if there is any beast core!"

Bixi held up the sticky beast crystal in his hand and said to Longsha and others with a smile. "Seeing that Bixi had made some progress, everyone became more enthusiastic about cutting off feet and cutting open abdomens, hoping to get some beast pills!"

After much effort, Long Sha and his companions finally found a faintly glowing beast core in the centipede's belly. As soon as they took the beast core, they could sense the powerful energy it contained.

"This beast pill will be of great use if given to Mona." Long Sha said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Since a ferocious beast has appeared here, it means there may be other dangers nearby. We'd better leave quickly." Zhenlong reminded.

Everyone nodded, packed up their things, and prepared to move on. However, at this moment, the ground began to shake violently, as if some huge power was awakening.

"Oh no, I'm afraid there will be bigger trouble." Zhenlong's face changed and he looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure emerged from the ground and charged towards them with fierce momentum. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was an even larger centipede!
