Chapter 1598 Giant Dan
"You wait..."
"No more waiting, what if Chen Xuan meets the Red-clothed Queen? I'm going to save him!"
"A daughter who grows up is a married woman!"
The imposing figure stamped his foot in anger and sighed deeply.
He added, "Who dares to touch the Chen family in this area? Isn't that courting death?"
...
After fleeing for more than ten kilometers, Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist stopped.
The slovenly Taoist picked a few spiritual fruits by the roadside and swallowed them to restore his depleted spiritual energy. The escape during this period had consumed a great deal. "Fortunately, we ran fast enough, otherwise it would have been really troublesome."
Chen Xuan also pretended to eat a few spiritual fruits, seemingly to recover his spiritual energy, but in reality, he was thinking about what was going on.
Was there anything different about him compared to ordinary people?
If there was anything different, it was that he didn't have a Nascent Soul, but a World Tree.
"Chen Xuan, you don't need to be surprised. With my World Tree, I can even draw water from a desert, let alone the Underworld? I can completely absorb energy for you," the World Tree said with a laugh.
It was indeed this fellow!
Chen Xuan understood and was relieved.
"If this were the human world, I would definitely beat them up!"
The slovenly Taoist said indignantly.
Being bullied by a few ghost generals made him very unhappy, especially because of spiritual energy.
"That makes sense, that makes sense," Chen Xuan agreed.
As they walked, the slovenly Taoist suddenly looked at the bloody sky, and his expression changed, "Let's get out of here quickly!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan asked in confusion.
"We've entered the territory of the Red-clothed Queen. The Red-clothed Queen eats people without spitting out bones. If we're discovered, we'll really die here. She's a very powerful being that even the Great Yama Kings are unwilling to provoke!"
The slovenly Taoist swallowed and showed a hint of fear.
Chen Xuan's face also turned ashen.
He hadn't expected to stumble into the Red-clothed Queen's territory. "Then let's get out of here quickly!"
The two agreed, turned around, and were about to leave, but at that moment, a booming sound rang out.
"Boom boom boom!"
Even the surrounding mountains shook, and the ground seemed about to crack.
Immediately after, they saw a giant, over ten meters tall, walking towards them. It had a green face and fangs, and was extremely ferocious.
"Damn it, how did we attract Giant Dan?"
The slovenly Taoist looked at the giant, his face looking worse than if he had eaten a fly.
"Giant Dan, what is that?"
Chen Xuan asked.
The slovenly Taoist explained, "Do you remember the Hundred-legged Demon Worm?"
"I remember!"
"That Hundred-legged Demon Worm is the Red-clothed Queen's pet. This guy is responsible for guarding the Hundred-legged Demon Worm for the Red-clothed Queen. This guy probably sensed the aura of the Hundred-legged Demon Worm on us, which is why it chased us. This guy is incredibly strong, capable of smashing a small mountain with a single punch. Even if we combine our strength, it'll be tough!"
Chen Xuan was speechless at the slovenly Taoist's words.
In the human world, they could conquer everything, but here, they couldn't defeat this one or that one, which was truly frustrating.
"Then what should we do?"
"Find an opportunity and escape!"
Escape again?
Chen Xuan was unwilling, but looking at the Hundred-legged Demon Worm, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
"Where did you take my bug? Hurry up and call my bug out!"
Giant Dan suddenly spoke.
His voice was deep and resonant, with a somewhat silly demeanor.
It made one think of a foolish son from a landlord's family.
"What bug? I haven't seen your bug."
Chen Xuan flatly shook his head.
"Nonsense! You have the scent of my bug on you. You definitely know where my bug is. Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, I'll tear you to shreds right now!"
Giant Dan stomped on the ground, causing another tremor, like an earthquake.
"I really haven't seen it."
Chen Xuan shook his head.
"You're seeking death!"
Giant Dan clenched his fists and smashed them down onto the ground.
With terrifying power, a wave of energy shot out!
The ground instantly cracked and spread towards their feet, along with countless stones.
Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist quickly retreated. If they had been even a little slower, they would have been buried by the stones.
"Escape!"
The two turned and fled.
But just then, a massive figure descended from the sky, blocking their path.
Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist's expressions changed again.
This massive figure was none other than the Hundred-legged Demon Worm!
Roar!
The Hundred-legged Demon Worm let out a fierce roar at Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist. Its circle of sharp teeth was enough to make one's scalp tingle. A single bite would likely leave them crippled.
"Bug, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing the Hundred-legged Demon Worm, Giant Dan's heart filled with joy, and he excitedly rushed over.
Boom boom boom!
The ground shook.
This wasn't a two-hundred-jin fatty, but a several-ton fatty!
Giant Dan hugged the Hundred-legged Demon Worm. The Hundred-legged Demon Worm did not resist Giant Dan and even rubbed against him.
Then, the Hundred-legged Demon Worm roared a few more times, and Giant Dan's eyes became more ferocious.
He let go of the Hundred-legged Demon Worm, and with a fierce look, he glared at Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist, "You dared to drop my bug's treasure and let it fall into the Yin River! You're dead!"
Saying that, Giant Dan charged towards them.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist immediately made their move.
Giant Dan's strength was immense. With a single punch, Chen Xuan narrowly dodged it. The punch hit a small mountain, causing trees to fall and the mountain to collapse, looking even more terrifying than a mudslide.
Chen Xuan swallowed.
Fortunately, his agility allowed him to evade Giant Dan's attacks. As for a direct confrontation, he dared not try.
After a while, Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist had made Giant Dan dizzy and disoriented.
Before the two could catch their breath, the Hundred-legged Demon Worm also charged at them.
"You deal with the Hundred-legged Demon Worm, I'll deal with the Hundred-legged Demon Worm!"
Chen Xuan leaped up and landed on the Hundred-legged Demon Worm.
"Roar—"
The Hundred-legged Demon Worm roared to the sky, its massive body writhing violently.
Chen Xuan also swayed, but it was as if he was stuck to the Hundred-legged Demon Worm's body, not moving an inch.
"Bang!"
He punched the Hundred-legged Demon Worm, causing it to scream hysterically.
The Hundred-legged Demon Worm roared to the sky, emitting painful cries that echoed for dozens of miles.
However, Chen Xuan did not stop; instead, he increased his force, "Do you submit? Do you submit!"
After being dealt with by Chen Xuan, the Hundred-legged Demon Worm's ferocious nature seemed to have changed significantly. It quieted down and even showed a pleading expression.
"This thing is so easy to tame? It surrendered just like that?"
Chen Xuan could hardly believe what he was seeing.
But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger. He quickly lowered his head and prostrated himself on the Hundred-legged Demon Worm's back. The Hundred-legged Demon Worm's tail swept past, almost grazing his back. If he had been any slower, he would have been finished.
"You good-for-nothing, you actually played a trick on me! Today, I will cut you into pieces and braise you!"
Chen Xuan clenched his fists fiercely.
