"This was left by the Yellowstone worm." said Chen Laojiu.

Lin Feng felt a surge of fear in his heart as he imagined the scene of those giant Yellowstone worms wreaking havoc on this volcano.

"We must be careful, these Yellowstone worms can be dangerous," said Chen Minghui.

Everyone continued to move forward, when suddenly, a low roar came from a distance.

"It's the Yellowstone worm!" Chen Laojiu said loudly.

Everyone immediately became alert and took out their weapons to prepare for response.

Lin Feng's heartbeat quickened as he nervously scanned his surroundings. A swarm of yellowstone worms emerged from behind a boulder. Their bodies were a yellowish-brown color, their hard shells gleaming with light. They pounced on the group, their fangs bared and claws snarling.

Lin Feng quickly lit a detonator and threw it towards the insect swarm. With a loud bang, the detonator exploded in the insect swarm, and the Yellowstone worms were blown away.

Chen Laojiu and Chen Minghui also quickly used their true energy to engage in a fierce battle with the yellow stone worms. Their swords were waving in the air, harvesting the yellow stone worms like cutting vegetables.

Chen Feng, Chen Ling, Chen Yang, and Chen Hao also showed strong strength, but they were not as relaxed as Chen Laojiu and Chen Minghui.

These Yellow Stone Worms varied in strength, ranging from Rank One to Rank Four. The stronger they were, the larger they became. When the four members of the Chen family faced a Yellow Stone Worm with the strength of a Rank Four warrior, they found it difficult to defeat it. They could kill it, but they would also sustain minor injuries.

Under normal circumstances, animals of the same realm are not something that ordinary people can deal with. This is because animals of the same realm have stronger bodies, more agile movements, and greater strength than humans.

The Chen family was able to kill these yellow stone worms in the same realm because of their inheritance. Families with long-standing traditions often possess powerful skills. Even so, it was difficult to kill yellow stone worms without cost in the same realm.

Seeing this, Chen Laojiu and Chen Minghui decided that they would deal with the Huangshi worms above the fourth grade, while the rest would be dealt with by the four members of the Chen family.

Chen Xiner watched the battle nervously, holding a dagger tightly in her hand, ready to strike when necessary.

However, more Yellowstone worms emerged from all directions. Their number far exceeded everyone's expectations, and it seemed endless.

Lin Feng threw out one detonator after another, trying to stop the Yellowstone Worm's attack. But he also began to feel anxious. If this continued, the detonators would eventually run out.

"We can't be so passive anymore! Use artillery!" Chen Minghui shouted loudly.

Lin Feng lifted his cannon and fired a shell at the insect swarm. The shell arced through the air and landed precisely in the swarm. The explosion set off a heat wave that toppled the Yellowstone worms to the ground.

Chen Xiner also mustered up the courage to take up arms and join the battle, but her strength was insufficient and she soon fell into danger.

"Xin'er, be careful!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.

He rushed towards Chen Xiner and used his body to block the attack of a yellow stone worm. The sharp fangs of the yellow stone worm left a deep scar on his arm.

Lin Feng endured the pain and kicked the yellow stone worm away. He turned back to look at Chen Xiner and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Tears flashed in Chen Xiner's eyes, "I'm fine, Lin Feng, you're injured."

Lin Feng shook his head. "It's just a minor injury, don't worry."

In the fierce battle, everyone gradually felt exhausted, while the attacks of the Yellowstone Worm became more and more fierce.

"This is not a solution. We must find the Yellowstone Worm King." Lin Feng said.

"Let's leave here first!" said Chen Laojiu.

They ran desperately along the mountain road, and the roar of Yellowstone worms came from behind them.

Finally, they ran out of the Yellowstone worm's territory and came to a relatively safe place.

Everyone sat on the ground exhausted, breathing heavily.

"It was really dangerous just now." said Chen Minghui.

Lin Feng's heart was still filled with fear, "These yellow stone insects are too powerful."

Chen Laojiu comforted everyone, "We have already gone through a test, and we must be more careful next time."

Chen Xiner looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Lin Feng."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "We are partners, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

Unexpectedly, they were unable to even glimpse the Yellowstone Worm's hidden lair or its powerful king, forcing them to retreat in disgrace. At this point, they only had five detonators left and only a few artillery shells.

After a brief rest, a daring plan flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He planned to lure these abominable Yellowstone worms into the valley Chen Minghui had once visited, then detonate the rocks on either side. This way, he would be able to wipe out most of the Yellowstone worms in one fell swoop. However, this plan required a fearless bait, and it was destined to be a farewell from which there would be no return.

At the thrilling moment of deciding who would be the bait, a tense atmosphere hung among everyone like a heavy dark cloud, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

"Oh my god! I'm strong and can attract more Yellowstone worms!" Chen Laojiu's eyes were as firm as a rock, and his voice echoed in the air, as if declaring war on fate.

"No, Brother Laojiu, this is too dangerous! Let me go!" Chen Feng's voice was filled with uncontrollable anxiety. He held Chen Laojiu's arm tightly, as if that was their last connection.

"No! You are still young, and there will be more responsibilities waiting for you in the future." Chen Laojiu's tone was stern and firm, and his eyes revealed an unshakable determination.

"But, Brother Laojiu..." Chen Feng's voice was choked, tears welling up in his eyes.

The crowd was caught in a fierce, almost crazy argument, with everyone vying to express their willingness to act as bait, and their voices intertwined and collided in the narrow space.

"I can go too! I'm not afraid of death!" Chen Yang shouted loudly, with a hint of tragedy in his voice.

"No, it's more appropriate for me to go!" Chen Hao echoed, his tone full of determination.

During the scramble, everyone's emotions burned like a blazing fire, becoming increasingly intense and scorching. Tears gleamed in their eyes, as if uncontrollable emotions were burning deep within their hearts.

Finally, Chen Laojiu struggled to free himself from Chen Feng's tight grasp. He slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping across each face in turn. His voice was deep and powerful: "Everyone, this is my responsibility. I'm old, and there's nothing to be nostalgic about. But you are different. You still have a long road ahead of you. The future of this family depends on you. Remember, live bravely!"

Chen Xiner's heart was filled with reluctance and sadness. She held Chen Laojiu's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Laojiu, you can't go. You are the person closest to me. I can't lose you. There must be another way."
