Chapter 2100 - 1599: The Great Retreat Operation! (Part 2)

Of course, if it's the Godslayer Worm Queen, that's a different story.The queen itself may not be strong, but its most terrifying trait is its ability to produce the second generation of Godslaying Worms. When the number of such worms becomes significant, even Paramount Realm experts dare not confront them head-on and must keep as far away as possible... otherwise, only demise awaits.

Qin Fang recalled that the skeleton discovered in that secret place was devoured by Godslaying Worms—a top-tier expert at the Supreme Realm level, perhaps? Otherwise, it wouldn't have hidden so many Godslaying Worms.

For average experts, a single Godslaying Worm is enough to handle, while only those who reach the Supreme Realm need to rely on numbers to win.

"Hehe, this has nothing to do with me anymore, you all can chase it down!"

However, Qin Fang couldn't care less about these things. The matter of the Godslaying Worms was naturally left to these Paramount Realm experts to capture, even though it cost Qin Fang a significant amount of vital energy...

After consuming vital energy from a Great Grandmaster-level late-stage expert like Wu Liang, along with many other Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster-level experts, it's undoubtedly a terrifying amount of energy.

But even though this energy is powerful, and could perhaps elevate Qin Fang's cultivation to the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, or even late-stage, it doesn't matter compared to life itself.

When one's life can't be preserved, what good is it to have such immense vital energy?

It's important to know that right now, Qin Fang is being hunted not only by Godslaying Worms but also by experts from the Five Dragons' Den and Five Dragons' Stockade... especially Yang Tianlin, who wishes to skin and dismember Qin Fang!

Even if they are ancestors of the Five Great Families from Five Dragons' Stockade, should they encounter Qin Fang while chasing the Godslayer Worm, they are more likely to show no mercy.

To deal with a Great Grandmaster-level expert, Qin Fang could still deploy the Godslaying Worm, but should he encounter Paramount Realm experts... then Qin Fang would be done for.

"No, I need to hurry back and check on them!"

However, when it comes to the Godslaying Worm, Qin Fang does not dare to be careless.

Qin Fang himself does not fear the Godslaying Worm; if it dares to come, it basically spells doom, instead bringing Qin Fang a "feast."

Yet, Qin Fang is not alone; he still needs to pay attention to Qin Tiannan, his father, and Lin Qian, and Everard... this requires extra caution.

Therefore, after shaking off the pursuit of the Five Dragons' Stockade experts, Qin Fang quickly headed toward the cave where Qin Tiannan and the others were hiding.

"Son..."

Noticing Qin Fang's return, Qin Tiannan immediately emerged from the shadows, gave him a thorough once-over, and relaxed only when confirming Qin Fang was unharmed.

"Phew~~ It's good that you all are okay!"

Similarly, Qin Fang also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mutter.

"What happened? Is there something wrong?"

Qin Tiannan, puzzled by his son Qin Fang's tone, casually asked.

"It's nothing but the uproar caused by the Godslaying Worm. The entire Devil's Island is in panic; it's said that even the ancestors of the Five Great Families of the Five Dragons' Stockade have personally exited seclusion to hunt it..."

Qin Fang spoke very calmly. As long as Qin Tiannan and the others were safe, the rest mattered little to him, and he naturally couldn't be bothered with idle business.

"The five great ancestors..."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Qian and Qin Tiannan couldn't help but be amazed, while Everard wore a bewildered expression, not understanding what they were talking about.

They had lived on Devil's Island for twenty years as old folks, naturally understanding the situation on Devil's Island better.

The Five Great Families' ancestors are Supreme Realm-level world-class experts who've not shown their faces for years, perpetually sequestering themselves to extend their longevity.

Even a direct descendant like Lin Qian from the Lin Family has seen the Elder Ancestor of the Lin Family only once in these twenty years... during the family's quinquennial ancestral worship ceremony.

Since then, Lin Qian hasn't seen the Elder Ancestor exit seclusion again...

After all, if not for an event threatening the family's survival, these old ancestors are not inclined to emerge, remaining secluded.

But this time, the appearance of the Godslaying Worm is indeed a tremendously important event, enough to make these Supreme Realm-level experts restless.

The Godslaying Worm is too terrifying, with only Paramount Realm experts capable of slaying it... Great Grandmaster-level experts can't, and would instead become "food" for the Godslaying Worms.

Whenever the Godslaying Worm consumes some vital blood, its power enhances a bit; the more vital blood consumed, the stronger it grows.

Though the second generation of Godslaying Worms cannot reproduce, they can still evolve further. Should a Slayer Insect King be born, it becomes too formidable for even Paramount Realm experts to handle.

Of course, birthing a Slayer Insect King isn't so easy; it requires millions of exceptionally potent Godslaying Worms to fight fiercely, devour each other's corpses, and ultimately bear one most formidable Godslaying Worm King.

The probability of this is as slim as winning a major lottery prize, virtually negligible...

Yet, despite this, the Godslaying Worm is enough to alarm these longstanding sequestered Paramount Realm ancestors to emerge...

Even though currently, only one Godslaying Worm has appeared, it's roaming free, and the individual is very nimble, able to fly quickly—possibly showing up anywhere on Devil's Island—a potential insect bomb!
