"I'm done for. This guy really is a menace!" Lin Taichu's mind was in turmoil as he continuously flickered through the air, dodging the encirclement of the Spirit Devouring Worms while struggling to find an opportunity to strike back.
He possessed all kinds of secret techniques and Divine Abilities, but none of them were of any use now.
"No wonder it's in the Innate Realm. My physical body is far stronger than that of Cultivators at the same level, but there's still an obvious gap between me and the Spirit Devouring Mother Queen. If this drags on, I'll definitely die!" Lin Taichu looked anxious.
"Hm?" Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he spotted what seemed to be two corpses lying deep within the swarm of Spirit Devouring Worms.
"That's not right! Why would there be people here?" Joy surged in Lin Taichu's heart. He leaped to the side of one of the corpses to inspect it.
The corpse retained its appearance from before death. Its skin was bluish gray, its flesh clung tightly to its bones, and it had clearly died a miserable death.
Lin Taichu was puzzled. Could he have been bitten by the Spirit Devouring Worms before he died?
"Or perhaps he was devoured by the Spirit Devouring Mother Queen?"
He examined the surroundings and eventually fixed his eyes on a Spirit Devouring Pearl.
The Spirit Devouring Pearl contained dense spiritual fluid that nourished the corpse, allowing it to retain a faint trace of life. Lin Taichu hurriedly dug out the pearl, then circulated his power to force every Spirit Devouring Worm out of his body.
After doing all that, he sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing and recover his depleted magical power and stamina.
*It seems this corpse was at least a Qi Refining Stage martial
