One of the Seven Great Starry Sky Demonic Insects, Pupil Worm

Just as Su Luo was about to reach out and take the Crystal Core.

A small white worm, only a few centimeters long, suddenly burrowed out from one of the Four-tailed White Ape's eyes.

It looked like a hairless caterpillar.

Su Luo stared at the little white worm, puzzled.

He couldn't understand why there would be something like this in the Four-tailed White Ape's eye.

Just as he was about to reach out and grab the worm, to his surprise, the little white worm suddenly leaped up and jumped onto Su Luo's glabella.

Su Luo felt a sharp pain in his glabella.

He was instantly alarmed, as this little worm was trying to burrow into his brain!

Su Luo quickly pinched the worm's body with his fingers and pulled it out from his glabella.

He raised his hand and touched his glabella; indeed, it was bleeding and a small cut had opened up.

If he had reacted any slower, this little worm might have actually made it into his brain.

Who knew what problems would have arisen then.

The more Su Luo thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine, his eyes wide.

He glared angrily at the gradually weakening worm in his hand.

He slowly tightened his grip, intending to crush the worm to death.

At that very moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"No, no, no! If you squeeze any harder, I'm really going to die!"

Hearing this, Su Luo's expression froze instantly.

Then, his brow furrowed, and he stared intently at the worm in his hand, his fingers no longer applying pressure.

"Are you the one speaking?"

The worm weakly nodded, looking very uncomfortable.

"Esteemed Human Brother, could you please let me go first? It's really uncomfortable being squeezed by you."

Su Luo's eyes were sharp, and he let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, you almost burrowed into my head, and you still want me to let you go? You think you're clever, little worm."

Even though he said that, Su Luo still loosened his grip slightly.

He was quite interested in this worm and didn't want to kill it.

As Su Luo eased his grip, the worm also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the three sisters had already arrived behind Su Luo.

Seeing Su Luo holding a white worm, they couldn't help but exchange glances.

"Brother Su Luo, what are you holding a worm for? It's so disgusting how it moves around," Shen Huaiyu said, looking at the worm with distaste.

Upon hearing this, the worm in Su Luo's hand seemed to have been struck in a sensitive spot.

"You rude female creature, don't lump me in with the common insects on your planet!"

"Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because you have a powerful mate!"

The worm's indignant voice echoed in all four of their minds.

Hearing this, Shen Huaiyu's face gradually turned flushed, and she avoided making eye contact with the other three.

Su Luo gently nudged the worm with his finger, signaling it to watch its words.

Shen Huaiyue and Liu Yunyi exchanged a look and said nothing, turning their attention to why this worm could speak.

"Su Luo, why can this worm talk? Where did you catch it?" Shen Huaiyue asked curiously.

"It crawled out of the Four-tailed White Ape's eye. I have no idea why this worm can talk."

"Hey, who are you?" Su Luo pinched the worm and brought it closer to his eyes.

The worm snorted proudly upon hearing this.

"Hmph, my origins are not something you low-level creatures are qualified to know."

Seeing its arrogance, Liu Yunyi immediately drew her sword and pointed its tip at the worm.

"Su Luo, can I stab it to death with my sword?"

The worm felt the chill from the sword tip behind it and quickly tried to placate Liu Yunyi.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't get excited! I didn't say I wouldn't tell you. Esteemed female creature, please put away your weapon. Let's talk things through properly."

"Don't waste my time! Tell me your origin quickly! If you waste any more of our time, I'll crush you to death immediately!" Su Luo's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke icily.

Seeing the killing intent in Su Luo's eyes, the worm knew it had no choice but to confess.

But it was a super-species from the starry sky, and here it was, being coerced by such a low-level creature.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but shed tears and sigh deeply.

"Sigh~"

"To think I've fallen so low!"

After composing itself, the little bug began to recount its origins.

"I hatched more than ten years ago from an underground cave."

"The moment I was born, my race's inherited memories flooded my mind."

"These memories told me that I am one of the Seven Great Starry Sky Demonic Insects, the Pupil Worm."

After hearing the little bug's words, all four of them wore confused expressions.

"Seven Great Starry Sky Demonic Insects? Pupil Worm? So, you're an extraterrestrial being?" Su Luo asked in surprise.

"That's right, but for some reason, I hatched on such a backward planet," the little bug said, perplexed.

"You say we're backward? How are we backward?" Shen Huaiyue retorted, determined to make the little bug explain itself.

"This somewhat irritable female creature, I know you're anxious, but please calm down, and I'll explain slowly," the little bug comforted her.

"Although I haven't personally seen other planets, compared to the civilizations of other planets that flashed through my inherited memories, your planet's civilization is indeed backward."

"The measure of a planet's civilization, whether backward or not, is whether its inhabitants can traverse the starry sky."

"Whether through their own bodies or through technology."

"Once they possess the ability to traverse the starry sky, they gain the opportunity to communicate with other planetary civilizations and the capital to conquer them."

"However, based on my observations, your civilization is still in a very backward stage, completely unable to meet the requirements for traversing the starry sky in any form."

After hearing the little bug's words, the four of them couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

So, there were other races beyond the starry sky.

Along with their astonishment, a sense of urgency welled up in their hearts.

If other races were to come and conquer Azure Star, could the strong individuals on Azure Star withstand them?

Su Luo noticed the somber atmosphere and quickly changed the subject.

"You mentioned the Seven Great Starry Sky Demonic Insects earlier. Besides your Pupil Worm, what are the others?"

Upon hearing this, the little bug's spirits immediately lifted as it said:

"Besides our Pupil Worm, the remaining six races are the Fantasy Dragonfly, Thunder Domain Centipede, Undying Cicada, Star-eating Ant, Ghost-Piercing Butterfly, and Mother Nest Spider."

"Each type of demonic insect possesses a long lifespan and different powerful abilities."

"As long as a demonic insect forms a symbiotic bond with a lifeform, it can strengthen its host."

"For example, me. If I form a symbiotic bond with a lifeform, I can evolve the host's eyes."

"Of course, depending on the host, the abilities gained after evolution will differ."

"This White Ape, whose talent is barely passable, grew two extra eyes after I bonded with it."

"The psychic shockwaves released from its eyes will force opponents into a few seconds of rigidity."
