The stalactites range in size from a few centimeters to over ten meters long and weigh several tons.

Such a massive object falling is difficult to withstand.

Even the burly Tuerrolania was startled, and when she stopped screaming, she shouted, "Goddess, run! This place is dangerous!"

He reacted quickly, blocking the way in front of him as he retreated.

Then, Tuerdunqiya, who was skilled at running fast, picked up Ren Anran and headed towards the exit.

Zhang Xuezhou also pulled Turkalando backward.

A bamboo shoot-shaped stalactite crashed down from the top of the cave, splashing countless waves in the pool below. There was also a rustling sound as more stalactites broke and fell as the cave shook.

"Sound resonance couldn't have caused so many stalactites to fall; this place seems to have been eroded or hollowed out!"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed, and when he swept his spotlight behind him, he saw that dozens of stalactites had fallen, almost completely blocking the passage of the cave.

Then came the sharp, hissing sound of insects.

As the spotlight swept across various areas, Zhang Xuezhou saw a multi-legged head, the size of a washbasin, struggling back and forth within the stalagmite.

There's a giant centipede behind us!

Just thinking about the corresponding body type made Zhang Xuezhou's scalp tingle for a while.

Millipedes belong to the centipede family, but only those with legs that reach a certain length are called millipedes, and these insects also exceed the length of normal centipedes.

As for a millipede that grows to the size of a head, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this millipede was at least twice the length of his body, completely deviating from the concept of a normal millipede.

These insects are poisonous even when small, and when they grow to this size, their venom is enough to kill a person in a very short time.

"A millipede with a head as big as a washbasin!"

Turkalando, who was being dragged along by Zhang Xuezhou, was excited.

"I want to see a giant-headed millipede!"

"You're really something!"

Zhang Xuezhou pulled Turkalando along, sullenly trying to get out.

Two more paladins closely guarded Ren Anran as they quickly retreated.

After a short while, Zhang Xuezhou finally emerged from the cave and breathed a sigh of relief.

You can't fly up or crawl left or right in the cave; you can only move forward or backward. If you get blocked, you're doomed.

It's truly chilling to see problems occurring in such a high-risk area.

"A head, a millipede?"

Turkalando, on the other hand, seemed rather carefree, still pestering Zhang Xuezhou with questions about related matters.

"What, you want to pick it up and use it in medicine?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Are there really such large centipedes?" Turkalando asked doubtfully.

It should be this big!

Zhang Xuezhou gestured.

The cave lacks a normal ecological environment and is not suitable for the survival of organisms. He was quite surprised to see millipedes, especially since the millipedes he caught a glimpse of were extremely large, seemingly exceeding the size he had learned in his genetics course.

"On page 322 of the Grade 11 Biology Genetics course, it mentions that the largest millipede discovered so far is 0.83 meters long, and the largest ancient giant centipede can grow up to 2.6 meters long, right?" Zhang Xuezhou turned around and asked Ren Anran.

"I don't remember what I learned in my high school textbooks," Ren Anran replied awkwardly. "But the world record for the longest centipede is indeed less than a meter long. The giant centipedes that went extinct in ancient times could have exceeded a meter in length."

"I want to see the big-headed centipede," Tulcarando said.

"If it's really that big, it will definitely break records," Ren Anran said.

"It's not just about breaking records, have you thought about that?"

Turkalando pointed in a direction, which made Ren Anran frown slightly, and Zhang Xuezhou seemed to be deep in thought.

"You mean this thing is a mythical beast?" Zhang Xuezhou asked. "Isn't it said that mythical beasts only arise in the ruins of the Qinmeng Empire?"

Turkalando's idea was extremely bold, but many common-sense ideas led Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran to reject it, and they never even considered it.

Just as penguins in Antarctica don't appear in tropical regions, even if they knew something about it, they wouldn't make that connection.

"Can't you think any more outrageous?" Tulcarando said, "The alien beasts are still of normal size; only ferocious beasts have unusual sizes!"

"A ferocious beast?"

Zhang Xuezhou forced a smile and moved further away from the cave entrance, even though Ren Anran's expression showed wariness.

If exotic beasts are merely more powerful than normal wild animals, then ferocious beasts have transcended the boundaries of their respective species, possessing a comprehensive and significant enhancement in all aspects of their abilities.

Not to mention them, even someone like Zhou Xin, Seventh Sequence, needs to be handled with caution, as a slight misstep could result in being killed by the ferocious beast.

In all known cases, very few have successfully captured the ferocious beast.

"How could a ferocious beast possibly appear in a place like this?" Ren Anran asked, equally puzzled.

"Then you'll have to ask him," Tulcarando said. "I don't believe in such things either, but he said he saw a millipede with a head as big as a washbasin!"

"I swept the head with a spotlight and it was indeed that big!"

Zhang Xuezhou gestured with his hands.

He felt that what he saw couldn't be wrong; it couldn't be some kind of special stalactite.

Zhang Xuezhou even heard the chirping of millipedes.

"Did you hear the sound it made?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"All I heard was a rumbling and a rumbling sound," Turkalando said, shaking his head.

Ren Anran shook her head to indicate that she had not heard any insect chirping, while the two paladins were busy carrying Ren Anran to escape and did not notice anything amiss.

"How about we put out some smoke to fumigate it?" Tulcarando suggested.

She wanted to see a millipede with a head the size of a washbasin, but she wasn't thinking of risking her life; instead, she actively sought a way to do so.

But her suggestion was quickly rejected.

Firstly, the entrance to the cave is narrow and poorly Tongfeng, making it difficult for smoke to enter the passage.

Secondly, the interior of the cave is extremely large, making it very difficult to generate enough smoke; even if they burned it outside for three days and three nights, it would be to no avail.

"I'll go take a look!" Ren Anran said.

Ren Anran's "take a look" naturally did not mean she would personally go to inspect such a dangerous area.

She had only just mastered the technique of separating her Yang Soul from her body, Ren Anran hadn't expected to find a use for it so soon.

While there are various risks involved in the Yang Soul leaving the physical body, it is an irreplaceable ability when used for this kind of exploration.

No matter how powerful a ferocious beast is, it will not attack something virtual and intangible. Accordingly, there is no problem with the Yang Soul escaping to investigate, and Ren Anran can even observe it very carefully.

"It's a bit hard to see in the dark, isn't it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"Listening to the sound or sensing whether the millipede exists shouldn't be a problem!"

Ren Anran's original intention was to find the place where the Soul Jade was first discovered and see if there were any unexpected gains. However, what she encountered was beyond everyone's expectations.

If the verification is confirmed, the impact of the sound reverberation induced by the cave in Turrolanya will be far more than this.

This made her close her eyes and sit up straight. When Zhang Xuezhou was guarding her behind her, her spirit floated up and immediately leaped out of her body, drifting towards the cave.
