Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

The violent shaking of the sand came so suddenly that many of the martial artists who were digging had no time to react and stumbled and fell to the ground.

"what happened?!"

"Why is the ground suddenly shaking?"

"Is it an earth dragon turning over?!"

"Run! If this sandy area collapses, things will get really bad!"

As everyone steadied themselves and retreated to the outer perimeter, the four grandmasters hidden among them were the first to notice something amiss.

"Watch out, everyone! This isn't an earthquake, something's about to crawl out from under the sand!"

Everyone was taken aback by Ke Lianba's reminder.

"Is something trying to crawl out?"

"How is this possible? How big must something be to cause such a wide-ranging and violent tremor!"

"That's right. In my opinion, it must be that these powerful forces have ill intentions and want us rogue cultivators to be their cannon fodder!"

Some rogue cultivators who were unaware of Ke Lianba's identity did not believe his warning, so they ran away and retreated without hesitation.

Seeing the group of rogue cultivators and giant tigers, apart from the disciples of the major powers, running away, Yan Guang looked at Jiang Yuchuan and asked, "Young Master Jiang, should we move further away?"

Jiang Yuchuan, as steady as a rock, shook his head and warned, "Don't move for now. The thing below seems to be locating based on the sounds from the ground."

What exactly is beneath this sand?

Yan Guang kept his eyes on the ground nearby, but he couldn't find anything amiss, which made him both apprehensive and very curious.

"I don't know what exactly is underground either," Jiang Yuchuan said truthfully. "All I can say is that once these things lurking underground come out, they will be much more difficult to deal with than anything we've encountered before."

"So scary!"

Yan Guang clicked his tongue and said, "Then wouldn't most of us be going to perish here?"

"Who knows?" Jiang Yuchuan shrugged and looked at the four grandmasters who were tightly protecting Qu Ziming in the middle. "It depends on whether those guys will actually make a move when the time comes."

Yan Guang followed Jiang Yuchuan's gaze and sighed, "I think it's unlikely. These people are always arrogant and haughty. Even if they really make a move, they will only protect their own disciples and will not care about the lives of us rogue cultivators."

As the two were talking, they suddenly felt the shaking of the ground lessen. Then, Yan Guang looked at the scattered cultivators who were retreating. Soon, he saw cracks appearing in the sand behind them.

"Could it be that something down below is about to come out?"

Thinking of this, Yan Guang's heart tightened.

Although he is currently in a safe position and has not been targeted by anything underground, no one can guarantee what will happen next.

After the crack appeared, the thing hidden under the sand quickly sprang to the surface and revealed itself.

When Yan Guang and the disciples from those powerful forces saw what the enormous creature that had sprung out of the ground looked like, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

No one expected that such a huge monster was hidden beneath the sand!

These enormous monsters that emerged from the sand one after another looked like legless, brownish-yellow worms magnified countless times.

These fleshy worms, the smallest of which are as thick as a water bucket; the larger ones are even comparable to water tanks!

From the half of their enormous bodies that emerged from the ground, there were no eyes to be found; where their heads were, there was only a huge, round mouth filled with sharp teeth, a ferocious and terrifying sight.

Those rogue cultivators who were running away panicked when they saw that such a huge and terrifying monster was chasing them. Only a few people launched an attack the moment Guan Wu appeared.

However, when these rogue cultivators attacked the monster's tough hide, they couldn't cause any effective damage; they only slightly scraped off a layer of skin.

This attack clearly enraged the monsters, causing them to open their massive jaws in a frenzy and bite down on the person opposite them.

Several daring rogue cultivators, seeing that attacking the monster's body was ineffective, simply plunged their swords into the gaping maw.

Beneath those densely packed, sharp teeth, the iron swords became incredibly fragile, their very surface being bitten to pieces.

Those unaffiliated cultivators wielding swords fared even worse. Once their weapons broke, the monster's gaping maw either swallowed them whole or bit off half their bodies, leaving blood and shattered internal organs scattered on the ground.

You can't outrun them, and you can't beat them in a fight.

Upon witnessing the gruesome deaths at the hands of these terrifying and ferocious monsters, the remaining surviving rogue cultivators gritted their teeth, turned around, and stood motionless in their original positions. Those who were temporarily spared from the monsters' attacks fled in terror.

"Damn it, I knew those bastards were full of evil! Even if they die, they'll drag us down with them!"

Yan Guang cursed angrily, clearly furious at the actions of those rogue cultivators who had attracted the monster.

But anger aside, the most important thing in the face of this situation is not to investigate the actions of these people, but to find a way to deal with these thick-skinned and ferocious monsters.

Once the monster was lured into the crowd, the group could no longer remain calm and observe as before, and had no choice but to attack the monster together.

Fortunately, there were only a few dozen of these monsters that emerged from the ground. Even though many rogue cultivators had perished in the monsters' jaws while trying to escape and resist, the remaining people could still form teams of several people to work together to fight off the monsters.

Jiang Yuchuan and Yan Guang are still on the edge of the battlefield against the monsters.

No one wanted to team up with this old man and young man, two seemingly weak rogue cultivators. Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan and Yan Guang had to team up as a pair.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't care at all; on the contrary, he was even happier with it.

Seeing that only he and Jiang Yuchuan were dealing with this terrifying monster, Yan Guang felt a little uneasy and afraid, but still chose to trust Jiang Yuchuan.

Although Yan Guang still hasn't figured out the origins or strength of this boy who looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, the fact that he can't see through the boy's appearance at all makes it worth taking a gamble.

The monster the two faced was not considered large; among its kind that had emerged from the ground, it was only of medium size.

With Jiang Yuchuan's strength, he could have easily dealt with this monster, but he didn't.

One reason was that he didn't want to reveal his strength too much, but the most important thing was that when these monsters appeared, Jiang Yuchuan keenly sensed a very strange power fluctuation emerging from beneath the yellow sand in this area.

This energy appeared quickly and disappeared even faster. If Jiang Yuchuan hadn't released his divine sense from the very beginning, he might have missed it.

Jiang Yuchuan thought that, according to Qu Ziming, the ruins of the ancient Northern Rong Kingdom were very likely buried under this yellow sand.

Therefore, these suddenly appearing flesh-worm monsters and the strange energy that briefly surged from the ground just now most likely originated from the ancient Northern Rong Kingdom buried underground.

Thinking back to this, Jiang Yuchuan did try to probe the Northern Rong Ancient Kingdom by extending his divine sense deep underground, but unfortunately, no matter how he searched with his divine sense, he found nothing.

Within the area covered by divine sense, everything was pitch black.

Therefore, Jiang Yuchuan had to abandon his idea of ​​sneaking underground ahead of time and slowly deal with the monster in front of him while waiting for the others.

He's come this far, so a little longer won't hurt him.

Just as everyone was locked in a stalemate with these monsters, an old man with extensive experience brought by Ke Lianba suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered what these huge monsters that could move freely in the sand were.

He was terrified and cried out in a trembling voice:

"This, this is the Death Worm! Also known as the 'Sand Dragon King,' it's a terrifying monster that is said to have gone extinct a thousand years ago!"
