Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

As the sand dune was broken open, a fist-sized dark shadow rushed straight at Xia Jian's face.

Xia Jian reacted very quickly, holding his sword in front of him.

Ding~

A strange sound came from the sword, and the black shadow was also bounced away by the longsword and disappeared back into the sand.

Xia Jian looked at the longsword in his hand, which had been forged through countless hammer blows, and noticed that a small nick had appeared on it.

"What the hell is this?!" Natsume stared wide-eyed, feeling a bit incredulous.

Because the longsword in his hand was no cheap item; it was a master-level work that Jocelyn had taken from his own treasury. The entire blade was incredibly hard, and even ordinary high-ranking knights could hardly leave a mark on it.

However, although the sword had a minor problem, it also made Xia Jian realize that the thing was not a ghost or any kind of creature.

Xia Jian sheathed his longsword, took a deep breath, and then threw a punch.

Thunder Tiger Fist!

A half-meter-long white tiger shadow appeared, immediately blowing the sand on the ground away.

In that instant, a dark figure darted out from the sand. Xia Jian reacted swiftly, drawing his longsword and thrusting it straight out.

'Squeak~'

The dark figure let out a strange cry as it was pierced by the longsword.

Once the sand in the room had settled, Xia Jian looked at the tip of the longsword in his hand. There was a strange creature that resembled a beetle, with a black shell, but with the limbs of a frog.

The black worm's mouthparts were incredibly sharp, constantly tearing at the longsword and making a strange "crunching" sound.

Xia Jian's arm trembled slightly, and as his fighting spirit surged into the longsword, he instantly shattered the strange beetle into pieces.

Seeing that the danger had been averted, Xia Jian was about to look for another way out when the entire ruins suddenly began to tremble violently.

Xia Jian's expression changed, and he looked up at the main source of the tremor.

"We've been discovered!"

Seeing this, Xia Jian immediately knew why; the death worms must have been attracted by the commotion earlier.

As sand continued to fall from above, before Xia Jian could find a place to hide, the roof was ripped open, and a blinding light poured into the room through the gap.

Xia Jian extended his left hand, and the moment the death worm appeared, a black arrow shot out, piercing the death worm's head on the spot.

As the dead worm fell and covered the entrance to the hole, the room returned to silence.

Without much hesitation, Xia Jian raised his hand and unleashed a sword aura at the wall.

The wall suddenly exploded, revealing a pitch-black hole.

Feeling the tremors around him, Xia Jian took a torch and went straight inside.

…………

At the same time, the dead death worm was pushed aside, and a larger death worm's head poked into the room, seemingly trying to find Xia Jian's whereabouts.

Before the death worm could leave, Xia Jian's trembling voice rang out from next door: "Would you believe me if I said I didn't come in on purpose?"

Upon hearing the sound, the Death Worm swept its massive body across the room, tearing off the roof of the house where Xia Jian was.

As the light entered the room, the black worms that filled the room began to stir and then pounced on Xia Jian and the Death Worm.

Xia Jian unleashed his fighting spirit, blasting away the approaching black monster.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Jian punched the wall.

As the wall collapsed, it covered the black worms, but Xia Jian, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, was unharmed.

Having witnessed the sharp teeth of the black insects, Xia Jian knew that staying any longer would definitely cause problems; his current physical strength simply couldn't withstand the bites of so many insects.

The key point is that everyone has weaknesses, and Natsumi is no exception.

He hasn't even started enjoying his happy life yet; it would be troublesome if he got hurt in a place he shouldn't have.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian glanced at the dead worm being torn apart by the black worm.

Although the Death Worm is very resilient and has thick scales for protection, it is still no match for the black monster.

Furthermore, the black worm was unfazed by the corrosive blood of the death worm, flowing into the death worm's body through the bitten-open scales.

Without much hesitation, Xia Jian took advantage of the death worm being entangled, quickly channeled his fighting spirit into his legs, and then leaped out of the room.

Just then, the Death Worm struggled incessantly as it was being torn apart, and its huge tail lashed out at Natsumi, who had just jumped out of the room.

Xia Jian was caught off guard and was sent flying, crashing into two walls before finally falling into a dark room.

Before she could even relieve the pain in her body, and fearing that it was another room full of strange insects, Natsumi quickly got up from the ground and cautiously observed her surroundings with the help of the light from the cave entrance.

Seeing that there were no strange insects in the room, Xia Jian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Summer gently stroked her burning cheeks, inwardly cursing, "Damn it!"

If Backkom is going to make a sequel, casting him would be the perfect choice.

It truly lives up to its name as the Sea of ​​Death. If other knights were to enter, they would probably have been devoured to the bone.

However, his powerful physique still did not bring Xia Jian a sense of security.

Xia Jian looked out through the hole in the wall, and a large number of dead worms noticed the commotion and came running over.

Faced with these black worms, the Death Worm did not back down at all, easily flattening the black worms with its huge tail alone.

Just as Xia Jian was worrying about how to deal with the death worms, a black tide came into his view.

Countless black worms emerged from the sand, surging towards the death worm like a tide.

Although the Death Worm was very strong, it was quickly devoured by the countless black monsters, leaving only a pile of skeletal remains.

Seeing this scene, Xia Jian opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Now it's truly a situation where we're caught between a rock and a hard place, and we don't even know how to run away.

Turning to look at the opposite wall, Xia Jian had originally planned to break through the wall and escape, but now he was really afraid that it was full of strange black insects.

Just then, the ground beneath Xia Jian's feet suddenly began to shake violently.

Unlike the previous encounters with the Death Worm, this one was incredibly violent, like an earthquake.

"earthquake? 』

Xia Jian was speechless for a moment.

While earthquakes can occur in the desert, the probability of them happening is extremely low.

Suddenly, the earthquake stopped.

"Bang!"

Before Xia Jian could figure out what was going on, a deafening roar came from afar.

Looking out through the cave entrance, a giant worm with a diameter of over 7 meters stood upright on the ground.

The giant death worm's round mouthparts, covered in sharp spikes, twitched slightly, and then a green flame shot out from its mouth.

The green flames were extremely hot, and wherever they passed, the black insects were burned to ashes.

Xia Jian stared in disbelief at the scene.

No wonder the Sea of ​​Death is said to be dangerous. Ordinary knights cannot even break through the thick scales of such a colossal death worm.

As for using archery...

Looking at the giant death worm's flesh and skin, which was nearly two or three meters thick, Xia Jian thought it was better not to make such a joke; hitting it would probably be like tickling it.
