Five days later.
Jade Spring Workshop, east gate.
More than a dozen enormous centipede-like insects lay obediently in a row, spaced four or five meters apart.
The centipedes were over twenty meters long and three to four meters tall, their entire bodies glossy black.
Countless jointed legs densely lined both sides of their bodies.

Their bearing also carried a wild, uninhibited air, completely unlike the Lower Academy Disciples he had seen before.

"Luckily, their bodies didn't mutate."
"If they had truly taken on the forms of demon beasts, Pavilion Master Zhu would be in trouble."
There was a problem with the Rebirth Pill?
Chen Mu could not help raising a brow.
This was already the second time he had heard
