124: Is the spiral such an inconvenient thing?

"Green Forest Worm..."

Hatties's eyes narrowed slightly.

During this time, leading the Black Flame Death Soldiers, he had brutally hunted distorted creatures in the Whispering Forest, naturally gaining a good understanding of the types of distorted creatures in these forests.

This type of distorted creature, known as the Green Forest Worm, was already at the top of the food chain in the outer regions of the Whispering Forest.

Every one of their colorful, slender hairs contained deadly venom.

Their soft bodies were also filled with highly corrosive, poisonous bodily fluids.

Moreover, this creature had extremely strong regenerative abilities, making it an extremely troublesome distorted creature.

Seeing that Green Forest Worm continuously wriggling closer towards the manor.

Whoosh...

Hatties's figure instantly vanished from his spot.

Along the way, he casually pulled a spiral-shaped Flame Gold Spear from a dead wild boar-like distorted creature.

He raised his hand, leaned back...

A terrifying Spiral Force fiercely poured into it.

He ruthlessly hurled the spear in his hand towards the approaching Green Forest Worm.

"Bang!!!"

In the air, three invisible ripples seemed to explode.

The Flame Gold Spear disappeared from sight the moment it was thrown.

The next instant, it abruptly appeared in front of the Green Forest Worm's massive head, instantly embedding itself within its body, then bursting out from its tail, disappearing into the sky!

The spear directly pierced through the Green Forest Worm's enormous body, creating an incredibly smooth, slender passage from head to tail, through which the sky behind could even be seen.

"Hiss hiss..."

However, despite suffering such a heavy blow,

the Green Forest Worm's bizarre human-like face only let out a painful hiss.

Its massive body suddenly rolled over on the spot, crushing over a dozen distorted creatures that couldn't dodge beneath it.

Those crushed distorted creatures were instantly swallowed into its body by its wriggling movements.

Meanwhile, the terrifying penetrating wound on its own body rapidly healed at a visible speed, quickly returning to normal.

Seeing this, Hatties's expression couldn't help but turn a little grim.

This fellow was covered in venom, making it difficult for him to approach easily.

And the penetrating damage caused by his specialized Spiral Force was not suitable for dealing with creatures with such strong regenerative abilities.

A scene involuntarily flashed through his mind.

That time behind the castle, in front of the master,

he had used Spiral Penetrating Kill for the first time, piercing through the Silver Armor Corpse's body, but it instantly recovered, making his efforts seem meaningless.

Thinking of this,

Hatties's expression became even grimmer, and a strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.

"Hiss hiss..."

In the distance, the Green Forest Worm let out an incomprehensible hiss, twisting its massive body and rushing towards Hatties's position.

"Black Flame... Spiral..."

Hatties's brows were tightly furrowed.

He stood motionless on the spot, countless thoughts flashing wildly through his mind.

The surrounding wind seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, beginning to spiral around him.

The fiercely burning Black Flame on his body also began to take on a strange spiral shape.

"How can the Spiral be so inconvenient..."

Hatties slowly raised his right arm, pointing it remotely at the continuously approaching Green Forest Worm.

The dark flames on his body, as if blown by an invisible gale, swept forward entirely, like a dark banner.

"Black Flame Spiral: Penetrating Finger..."

Hatties slightly closed his eyes, murmuring softly.

The next instant,

a terrifying dark Spiral Qi burst forth from the tip of his raised right index finger!

At first, that Spiral Qi was just a slender black line,

however, every inch this black line advanced, its volume would violently expand twofold!

In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic black Spiral Dragon tornado, engulfing all distorted creatures blocking its path!

The terrifying spiral, accompanied by a dark gale, directly pierced through the entire surging beast tide!

When the dust settled,

Hatties slowly opened his eyes.

A massive, perfectly straight gully had appeared on the ground in a straight line in front of him.

All the distorted creatures along the way had vanished without a trace.

And in the distance, of the enormous Green Forest Worm, only a small piece of peripheral flesh that hadn't been grazed by the terrifying vortex remained, slowly collapsing.

"Hoo..."

A smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Hatties's mouth as he gently exhaled.

However, suddenly.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

On the other side of the beast tide, the group of distorted creatures stirred again, and another equally massive Green Forest Worm wriggled from afar, rapidly approaching.

The smile on Hatties's face instantly froze.

He felt a strong sense of weakness surging through his body like a tide.

He probably wouldn't be able to launch another attack within a short period...

"Boom..."

Just then,

from the shadows in the distance, a pale and tall figure suddenly rushed out!

It completely ignored the venomous hairs on the Green Forest Worm's body, rushing directly into its massive and soft interior.

Its slender corpse arm, driving sharp corpse claws, furiously tore at the worm's emerald-green, resilient flesh.

It showed no concern for the poisonous bodily fluids; all venomous damage received was rendered null and void by the terrifying recovery power of Tai Sui Guarding Corpse.

The Silver Armor Corpse wreaked havoc inside the worm.

Soon, the Green Forest Worm's internal body was utterly shredded.

Large sections of its massive body showed signs of lifeless gray-white, and eventually all life was completely devoured by that pale humanoid figure.

The Silver Armor Corpse's figure slowly emerged from a pile of rotting flesh, its dark eyes sweeping across the battlefield without any pause, before disappearing back into the shadows.

Hatties's eyes drooped slightly, and the last trace of a smile on his lips completely vanished.

...

On the other side,

due to the still small number of Black Flame Death Soldiers, and the fact that they were all only at the first Realm of Nine Lives Spiral Skill, they quickly became exhausted in such high-intensity combat, and their killing efficiency greatly decreased.

Just as Hatties and the Silver Armor Corpse were temporarily held back by two Green Forest Worms,

a large number of distorted creatures had already broken through the outer defense line, surging towards the manor's main gate in black, tide-like hordes.

"Creak..."

The manor's main gate slowly opened a narrow crack, revealing a dense, viscous darkness within.

Several small, pea-sized eyes emerged from the darkness, silently observing the outside world.

"Whoosh!!!"

The next instant, a huge suction force came from within the gate, drawing a large number of distorted creatures to fly towards the gate.

Along the way, their bodies became smaller and smaller, and no matter how they struggled, it was useless.

Then they disappeared into that crack, vanishing completely.

A moment later,

from the darkness behind the door,

a dense cluster of small eyes appeared, silently gazing outwards.

"Come on, all of you, come on..."

Barton stood quietly on the gatehouse by the entrance, holding the dim yellow oil lamp.

The flickering light and shadows behind him continuously expanded, forming a bizarre, distorted, and inverted unknown land that enveloped the entire area around the manor's main gate.

Countless distorted creatures rushed into it in hordes, as if entering an ever-changing kaleidoscope.

They were randomly dispersed by an invisible force, facing strange demonic creatures that emerged from hidden corners.

Soon, they disappeared from this world, leaving no trace behind.
