Evil Immortal!

He glanced at Huang Qing beside him and temporarily abandoned the idea.

There will be plenty of opportunities later, but now is not the time...

Meng Yuan is just a river patrolman; he may have some talent, but he doesn't pose a threat to him for the time being.

Although this kid is indeed quite strong, and his performance just now was quite amazing, it was all due to external factors.

Meng Yuan glanced at Qiu Changshan and keenly sensed a hint of malice in him.

He pretended not to know, but in his heart he was thinking about finding an opportunity to get rid of this old guy, so that he wouldn't be stabbed in the back one day.

Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly rose from the Yinliu River, creating huge waves, and rushed towards Meng Yuan and the other two!

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Yuan threw himself to the ground and rolled on the spot to dodge the attack.

Huang Qing's injuries were less severe, and he was stronger. His reaction was just as fast as Meng Yuan's, and he also avoided the attack from the shadowy figure.

However, Qiu Changshan was not so lucky.

He was already poisoned by the corpse, and his whole body was weak and powerless. After Meng Yuan and Huang Qing dodged, he became the most obvious target and was pounced on by the dark figure.

"ah--"

Qiu Changshan screamed as his 400-pound body was picked up by the dark figure like a tiny rag doll, chewed up and swallowed in a few bites, and his screams stopped abruptly.

As Meng Yuan retreated, he glanced at the dark figure and was immediately dumbfounded.

This is a gigantic monster that looks like a centipede!

It is called a monster because this enormous creature is like a Lego set, completely pieced together from countless human corpses, including men and women, old and young, and looks exceptionally sinister.

The upper body alone was as tall as a three-story building, and the torso was as thick as a locomotive. The corpses that made up the body were tightly stuck together, writhing and struggling, emitting cries and wails that were ominous and sent chills down one's spine.

The centipede's legs are made up of human arms, with sharp bone spurs growing from them, densely arranged on both sides. Its two jaws are like sickles, gleaming with a chilling light and dripping with blood.

On its head grew an old human head, with a gloomy face and white hair, but it was the size of a millstone!

However, there was a vertical eye between the eyebrows of this human head, which was tightly closed, with wisps of blood flowing out from the gap. This gave Meng Yuan a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

A series of blood-red data messages appeared above its head:

【Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede】

Template: Nightmare Boss (Crimson)

Rank: ? ? ?

introduce:???

Danger level: ? ? ?

.....

"Nightmare-level BOSS... How come there are monsters like the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede in the Yinliu River?"

Meng Yuan looked up at the series of question marks above the monster's head, his face full of astonishment.

He had naturally seen the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede, a rare demonic creature, but all the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipedes he had seen in his previous life were elite-level.

He had never seen a nightmare-level Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede before.

In the world of [Evil Immortal], the template levels of various monsters and NPCs are actually strictly divided into high and low.

From lowest to highest, the order is: Grayish-white (common) – Pale red (elite) – Scarlet Nightmare – Dark red Calamity – Black-red (forbidden) – Dark Purgatory.

The crimson nightmare monster is definitely a major boss in the early stages of the game!

The fact that all the attribute information is question marks indicates that this Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede is at least a Tier 3 BOSS. Even if players change their classes, they will need to use a large number of people to deal with this kind of monster, and they will have to sacrifice many lives!

"No wonder the blood eels have been acting strangely lately; it seems to be because of this Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede... But why does this monster have an extra vertical eye, and it's emitting a bloody glow... Wait, bloody glow, blood-red eye!"

Meng Yuan suddenly remembered the unusual behavior of the blood eels in the Yinliu River recently, as well as his previous speculation about Wu Xingkong's defection from Jinji Temple. He suddenly had a guess about the identity of the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede in front of him.

"Could it be... that this Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede is an avatar of the Blood-Eyed Ancestor?! Is that why it's a Nightmare-level BOSS?"

Thinking about it this way, Meng Yuan looked at the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede's tightly closed vertical eye between its brows, which emitted wisps of blood-red light, and felt even more certain that he had guessed the truth. His gaze towards the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede even subtly changed.

NPCs of the Blood-Eyed Ancestor's caliber are almost always hidden in the early stages of the game and rarely appear.

But once it appears, it means there will inevitably be big moves, which may involve some hidden plots.

Meng Yuan had a clue as to what the hidden plot was; it was probably about Wu Xingkong's defection.

Wu Xingkong is an unparalleled genius in the cultivation world. He possesses a keen mind and can master ordinary spells at a glance. He can also master many supernatural abilities in no time. He has received attention and training from the Golden Rooster Temple. In just ten years since entering the temple, he has become a true disciple with a high position and great power. In the future, he will surely become a big figure in the Golden Rooster Temple and wield power in his own right.

At first, many people, including players, didn't quite understand this person's defection, but as the hidden storyline was gradually revealed, the truth came to light.

Wu Xingkong does not actually possess the talent of "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart", but rather the talent of "Exquisite Demonic Heart".

The two are highly similar, and the latter is much rarer.

Few people know that those who possess a clever and cunning mind are deeply demonic, with an inherent restlessness and unruliness, and a bloodthirsty and ruthless nature.

Therefore, when Wu Xingkong first joined the Golden Rooster Temple, it was destined that he would not stay there to cultivate. This was also the fundamental reason why Wu Xingkong was later bewitched by the Blood-Eyed Ancestor and betrayed his sect!

The Blood-Eyed Ancestor's clone, the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede, is hiding in the Yin Willow River, most likely intending to meet up with Wu Xingkong.

However, the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede's vertical eyes were tightly closed, perhaps indicating that the Blood-Eyed Ancestor's consciousness was still dormant and had not yet awakened.

Meng Yuan was knowledgeable and experienced, and he was still able to keep his composure at this point.

However, Huang Qing's expression changed drastically, his fat face twitched uncontrollably, and greasy sweat dripped down his face.

"What the hell is this...?"

A suffocating, oppressive aura emanated from the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede, making his scalp tingle and his legs go weak, giving him a terrifying feeling that a great calamity was about to befall him.

Both were surprised, but their actions were surprisingly the same: they hurriedly retreated, trying to get as far away from the thousand-armed corpse centipede as possible.

They prepare to flee for their lives, and if they sense something is wrong, they will run away as fast as they can.

The reason they didn't leave immediately was not only because they knew they couldn't escape, but also because the Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede didn't do anything after swallowing Qiu Changshan.

The Thousand-Armed Corpse Centipede merely glanced at the two of them coldly, seemingly uninterested, or perhaps already full. Then, it twisted its body and suddenly darted into the water, its massive form disappearing from sight.

As the water rippled, the river surface quickly returned to calm.
