Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Red Glow Worm. The azure stone Xiong Yu held was identical to the other stones nearby; no differences could be discerned.
“It seems the Naga Statue’s Demonic Power originated from that white stone. I wonder what kind of white stone it was?” Qin Yefeng mused, holding fragments of the white stone.
“Alright, there’s no more danger here. Let’s enter the Demon Tower and take a look,” Zi Baiying said to Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu.
From a distance, the Demon Tower didn’t appear very large, but upon closer inspection, they found it to be an eerie structure, a thousand zhang wide and ten thousand zhang tall. Green phosphorescent flames flickered across its massive body.
As Qin Yefeng and the others arrived at the Demon Tower, a crimson demonic power shot upwards from its peak, surging towards the cave ceiling, radiating an extremely dangerous aura.
Instantly, the entire subterranean world was bathed in this crimson demonic power, as if this dark underground realm had transformed into an Asura’s Hell, filled with boundless terror!
Rocks continuously rained down from the cave ceiling of the subterranean world. Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu swung their weapons to fend them off.
“This Demon Tower is truly sinister. I think we should leave,” Xiong Yu said, unwilling to die here. Everything happening was simply too bizarre.
As the crimson demonic power surged towards the sky, only Qin Yefeng still harbored the courage to press forward, determined to uncover what was truly happening here.
Even Zi Baiying felt that the current situation was beyond her expectations, and she was starting to have second thoughts.
However, throughout the subterranean world, the crimson glow caused a swarm of red glow worms to take flight, rushing towards Qin Yefeng and the others.
The red glow worms were countless, numbering in the tens of thousands, though not all were concentrated on Qin Yefeng’s group.
Immediately, Qin Yefeng manifested a Golden Spiritual Power Shield around himself to protect against these unfamiliar red glow worms.
Xiong Yu and Zi Baiying followed Qin Yefeng’s lead, each manifesting a Spiritual Power Shield: Xiong Yu’s was made of earthy yellow spiritual power, and Zi Baiying’s of purple-black spiritual power.
But when the swarm of red glow worms attacked Qin Yefeng and the others, the three of them discovered that their Spiritual Power Shields could only temporarily withstand the worms’ assaults.
Initially, when the dense swarm of red glow worms surged forward, they couldn’t break through Qin Yefeng’s Spiritual Power Shields.
However, after that, the red glow worms began to rotate and strike the Spiritual Power Shields above their heads with their tails.
At first, Qin Yefeng didn’t quite believe it. Although the Spiritual Power Shield wasn’t as hard as stone, he thought these tiny, glowing red worms couldn’t possibly break through it.
But to Qin Yefeng and the others’ surprise, the red glow worms began to enter their Spiritual Power Shields one after another. And now, green phosphorescence ignited on the bodies of these small worms.
Carrying a dangerous aura, they directly devoured the spiritual power emanating from the three of them.
This situation startled Qin Yefeng. The furious, destructive Burning Heaven Dragon Flame immediately surged into his palm, the Dark Golden Flame coiling around his hand.
Before the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame even reached the red glow worms that had breached the Spiritual Power Shields, they dropped to the ground like grains of rice.
“Quickly, get behind me! You absolutely cannot let these red glow worms enter your bodies!” Qin Yefeng urgently called out.
Xiong Yu and Zi Baiying had initially intended to crush these pests with their bare hands, but seeing Qin Yefeng’s grave demeanor, they could only choose to follow behind him.
“I’ll ask you one last time,” Qin Yefeng said, “we’ve come all this way. Do you still want to enter the Demon Tower and take a look?”
“Damn it, we finally made it down to these subterranean ruins, and I even suffered such a serious injury to my back. We’re already at the entrance of the Demon Tower; we can’t not go in!” Xiong Yu declared, looking utterly resolved.
“This…” Zi Baiying still hesitated. Entering the Demon Tower was bound to be extremely dangerous, and she hadn’t fully made up her mind.
Meanwhile, above the Demon Tower, after Qin Yefeng incinerated some red glow worms, the green phosphorescent flames on the tower began to drift outwards.
The Demon Tower was covered in countless red glow worms, all staring at Qin Yefeng and the others, eager to devour them.
It was then that Qin Yefeng finally understood: the green phosphorescent flames glowing in the darkness were all the doing of these red glow worms.
This overwhelming sea of red glow worms felt like it could lift Qin Yefeng and his companions. If they were truly surrounded by the sea of red glow worms…
…once their spiritual power was depleted, only death awaited the three of them!
“We absolutely cannot let the sea of red glow worms surround us. Let’s enter the Demon Tower first, and once the sea of red glow worms passes, we’ll come out,” Qin Yefeng declared, no longer hesitating, and rushed into the Demon Tower.
Zi Baiying and Xiong Yu followed closely behind Qin Yefeng, entering the Demon Tower’s interior together.
The moment the three of them entered the Demon Tower, it was as if they had stepped into a barrier, immediately sensing a distinct difference.
Inside the Demon Tower, they couldn’t hear any sounds from outside. Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu tried to leave, but found a transparent air barrier blocking them, preventing their exit.
“This Demon Tower is truly strange. It seems we can only look for another exit from within,” Zi Baiying said.
Qin Yefeng gazed at the vast interior of the Demon Tower and sighed, “It appears this is our only option!”
In the center of the Demon Tower’s first floor stood a thousand-meter-tall stone tablet, inscribed with Ghost Cave Script.
Zi Baiying, at this moment, deciphered the inscription: “Demon God Tower”!
“Could it be that this Demon Tower was an ancient place used to worship and offer sacrifices to Demon Gods?” Qin Yefeng asked Zi Baiying.
“I’m not entirely sure, but powerful members of the Demon Race must be imprisoned here, perhaps even ancient Demon Race members. We must be careful,” Zi Baiying whispered, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
Thus, Qin Yefeng, Xiong Yu, and Zi Baiying began ascending to the upper floors of the Demon Tower, all three having already prepared for battle.
In their minds, the Demon Tower within the Ancient Ruins was surely fraught with grave dangers!
After ascending one floor of the Demon Tower, they hadn’t encountered a single Demonic Beast.
Upon reaching the second floor of the Demon Tower, they found numerous Demonic Beast corpses scattered across the ground.
Their blood had turned black, indicating they had been dead for quite some time. This truly came as a surprise to Qin Yefeng and the others.
