All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 161 Six-Winged Flying Centipede

After resting for a night, the group continued exploring the underground palace.

Although they encountered several groups of poisonous insects along the way, with the Angry Sun Chicken leading the way, they managed to avoid any major dangers.

After passing through a long passage, the scenery changed—there was a main hall and a side hall on the left, and a huge square on the right.

Beside the square, there was an underground river about ten feet wide. The sound of flowing water could be faintly heard, but the bottom was invisible, and its depth was unknown.

Overall, it looks like an underground valley.

Chen Yulou looked around and couldn't help but say, "No wonder those emperors chose to refine elixirs here. This Bottle Mountain really is a treasure bottle. The inside of the mountain is hollow, and we are now inside the bottle."

The kidnapper made a rare joke: "You're not going to turn us into pills too, are you?"

Hong Gu couldn't help but tease, "Do you want to turn into an elixir?"

The kidnapper shook his head quickly: "Of course not!"

"Coo coo coo————"

At this moment, the Angry Rooster suddenly began to stir.

"Watch out, something's up!" Chen Yulou shouted immediately.

Immediately, the Angry Rooster let out a phoenix cry, its body soaring into the air and circling above the side hall.

"I'll go take a look."

Partridge Whistle, skilled and daring, immediately ran towards the side hall.

"I'll go take a look too!"

Gu Yu quickly followed.

His main purpose in coming to Ping Mountain was to obtain the inner core of the six-winged centipede, so naturally he had to be at the forefront to avoid any accidents.

When Chen Yulou saw that Gu Yu and Partridge Whistle had both rushed over, he naturally did not want to be outdone, so he immediately drew his Little Divine Sword and ran towards the side hall.

Upon entering, a nauseating, fishy stench assaults the senses, making one feel dizzy.

Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou quickly pulled up the face masks tied around their necks.

This is a face mask soaked in medicinal liquid, which can prevent the invasion of poisonous gas and miasma to a certain extent.

"Rustling sound—"

Suddenly, a noise was heard.

"Be careful!"

Gu Yu shouted.

At this moment, Partridge Whistle also saw a huge black shadow climbing down the pillar on the roof beam, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"A six-winged flying centipede?"

Chen Yulou also saw the giant centipede and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is a legendary monster recorded in ancient books. Its wings are somewhat like those of a dragonfly and are semi-transparent. Although it cannot soar freely in the air like a bird, they are enough to support its short-distance low-altitude flight.

Ancient books also say that centipedes with wings are called flying centipedes, and their venom is extremely potent and ferocious.

"Bang bang bang!"

Seeing that the six-winged centipede was about to crawl to the ground, Partridge Whistle raised his hand and fired several shots.

"Bang bang bang!"

Immediately afterwards, several more sounds echoed in the hall.

This is the echo of a bullet hitting a centipede, like hitting a metal plate, sending up a shower of sparks.

"Hiss~"

Although he was unharmed, he enraged the six-winged centipede, which opened its mouth and let out a strange cry. With a sudden twist of its body, it charged towards Partridge Whistle like a giant snake.

"Bang bang bang!"

As Partridge Whistle retreated, he fired several shots, attempting to target the six-winged centipede's eyes as he had done with the old white ape.

However, this six-winged centipede was exceptionally agile. With a slight shake of its head, it avoided vital points. The bullet hit its head and was immediately deflected.

At that moment, Gu Yu rushed over from the side, aimed at the junction of the giant centipede's carapace, and stabbed it with his knife.

If the giant centipede doesn't move, its carapace is completely covered, making it impossible to find a place to attack. But as soon as it moves, gaps appear at the joints of its carapace, and Gu Yu precisely timed his attack to strike the gap as the centipede twisted.

"Bang!"

The slash was as swift as lightning, instantly piercing the crevice. The giant centipede, in pain, sprang to the side, sending Gu Yu flying. Its body landed heavily, causing the side hall to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

"Bang bang bang!"

Next, the giant centipede went berserk, shaking its head and tail, spinning like a windmill. Chen Yulou couldn't dodge in time and was swept by the centipede's tail, immediately spitting blood and flying away.

Gu Yu rushed forward and caught Chen Yulou, while shouting at Partridge Whistle, "Quick, get out of there and let the Angry Sun Chicken deal with it."

Partridge Whistle fired a few more shots, then quickly ran out the door.

As soon as the three of them left the hall, the giant centipede let out an angry hiss and chased after them.

"Retreat now!"

As soon as he stepped outside, Gu Yu shouted at the group.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the giant centipede burst through the door.

As soon as it appeared, the Angry-Eyed Chicken, which was circling in the air, immediately swooped down and grabbed the back of the giant centipede with one claw, actually tearing through its incredibly hard shell.

At this moment, Partridge Whistle truly witnessed the extraordinary nature of the Angry Rooster.

He had fired more than ten shots, all of which ricocheted, which shows how hard the giant centipede's shell was. In the end, the Angry Sun Chicken still managed to break through its defenses.

Indeed, there is always something that can subdue something else.

"Hiss~"

The six-winged centipede let out a sharp, painful screech, its body leaping high into the air. Its six wings on its back finally spread out completely, reaching a length of several meters.

Although its wings were light, they flapped extremely fast, creating a strong gust of wind that sent it swooping down on the Angry Sun Chicken in mid-air.

The Angry-Eyed Chicken folded its wings and plummeted downwards, narrowly avoiding the giant centipede's attack.

Just as it was about to land, its wings quickly spread open, and with a gentle flap, its body took off again, instantly flying above the giant centipede.

"唳~"

The Angry Rooster circled swiftly once, letting out a long, drawn-out phoenix cry that echoed through the sky.

Several disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect finally came to their senses and subconsciously raised their guns, wanting to shoot while the giant centipede was flying in mid-air.

"Don't shoot!"

Chen Yulou forced a shout despite his pain.

"Yes, be careful not to hurt the Angry Rooster," the kidnapper added.

"call!"

The Angry-Eyed Rooster swooped down again and began to fight the giant centipede.

The old herbalist frowned and couldn't help but mutter, "This thing is way too big. I wonder if the chicken can handle it?"

Partridge Whistle said, "It should be fine for the time being, but it might get difficult if it goes on for too long. We'll have to find a chance to help."

At this moment, Gu Yu took out a throwing knife and stared intently at the giant centipede.

When the giant centipede flew a little lower, he finally seized the opportunity to strike.

"call out!"

The throwing knife shot through the air and disappeared into the giant centipede's belly in the blink of an eye.

The giant centipede had strong defenses, but its abdomen was relatively weaker. More importantly, Gu Yu's throwing knife contained...

With its surging true energy, it could pierce even a steel plate.

"Hiss~"

Having suffered such a severe blow, the giant centipede let out a sharp cry, thrashed about frantically for a few moments, and then fled swiftly toward the side hall.

"Bang!"

This guy actually smashed through the roof and rushed inside—
