Chapter 259 The Thorny Giant Worm
Yesterday's.
On the outskirts of the Endless Forest, Yang Zenke led his group of five people with a look of caution on his face. He wiped away the sweat running down his cheeks using his hands covered in dirt.
“Brother Yang, that Thorny Giant Worm may be following us. I think it would be better for us if we fought him. Our food and water will not last long, and at that time, we will not have enough energy.to deal with it.” One of Yang Zenke's teammates suggested with a grim face.
Yang Zenke glanced at his team and looked at their worn out appearance. They had been sent here by Jiu Shen to train their fighting abilities against the ferocious beasts of the Endless Forest. Today was their last day of training, but it seemed like they could not regroup with the other teams. The reason for this was because their group was being trailed by an early stage Emperor level 7 Spiked Giant Worm!
It was a huge worm that was about fifty meters long and with a body as big as a barrel. Together with the sharp spikes around it, this Thorny Giant Worm would prove troublesome even for experienced rank 7 Emperor realm cultivators.
Yang Zenke's ears suddenly twitched and he immediately crouched down and touched the ground with his palm.
His teammates were shocked by his actions, but they suddenly felt a crisis when they saw Yang Zenke's change in expression.
“There is here. Everyone prepare for battle!” Yang Zenke shouted as he felt the ground tremble.
He took out his blood red sword and gazed into the distance. From there, he could see a huge cloud of dust and smoke as a huge giant crept towards his group with its huge mouth wide open.
Everyone immediately drew out their swords as they sensed the tremors of the ground. They knew that the creatures that followed them for days finally caught up with them.
It's thundering! It's thundering! It's thundering!
The earth tremor grew stronger as the huge beast approached.
Yang Zenke narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Thorny Giant Worm in front of them. He was quite nervous at the thought of fighting against these ferocious beasts as they were many times stronger than them. However, there was no fear in his eyes!
This savage beast had no eyes, but its sense of smell was league above other ferocious beasts. His sharp teeth were covered in blood, proof that he had eaten many creatures along the way.
“Do not be afraid! With his master's sword, we can cut anything!” Yang Zenke's words raised everyone's morale and the light in their eyes shone with madness as they looked at the Thorny Giant Worm.
It was unthinkable to see a group of young men facing a wild rank 7 Emperor beast. Even the young elites of the Alliance would not dare to do this crazy thing!

A thousand meters away from the scene was a man with long wavy red hair. He stood on top of a tall tree as he stared at the confrontation between Yang Zenke's group and the Thorny Giant Worm. This man was Hu Xiandao. He was the one sent by Jiu Shen to secretly protect the young men during their training.
Behind Hu Xiandao was a cold-looking woman in her early thirties. He had hair full of black hair that reached his waist. This woman was one of the elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
Hu Xiandao turned his head towards him and replied in a confident tone. “Indeed, but Sect Master Jiu's plan was to train these children and let them experience life and death battles. This is a great opportunity for them and it would be a pity if I interfered. Don'worry. If those children will interfere. in danger, I will immediately go and save them.”
The cold-looking woman nodded her head reluctantly while leading her words. There were three young women among Yang Zenke's group and the three were disciples of their Ice Cloud Sword Sect. He was not worried about Yang Zenke and the others as they already had a lot of experience in fighting against ferocious beasts, but the three young girls were still inexperienced.
“I hope the girls will be fine.” He muttered silently, but Hu Xiandao could hear his words clearly.
“Do not worry about them. Yang Zenke was the leader of this group and he should have been able to prevent the ferocious beast from seriously injuring his teammates. Besides, we're still here to protect them. Come closer.” Hu Xiandao said before jumping from one tree to another.
The cold-faced woman followed him.

“Stay close to each other and don't let it hit you!” Yang Zenke shouted as he dashed towards the Spike Giant Worm. He was actually planning to attack him head-on!
“The Brother! Careful!”
The Thorny Giant Worm could feel a small human running towards it, so it immediately pointed its sharp fangs towards this crazy human.
Yang Zenke suddenly jumped into the air when he saw the beast's movements. He then brandished the sword in his hand as he shouted.
“Earth Slicer Sword Spectrum!”
An arc of bloody light shot out from his sword and shot towards the Thorny Giant Worm.
The savage beast felt threatened when it sensed Yang Zenke's attack. It hurriedly pulled itself back, but it was still hit by Yang Zenke's slash.
Puchis!
Roaaarr!!!
The Thorny Giant Worm let out a cry of pain after being hit. However, Yang Zenke and the others saw his open wound close quickly.
“It's recovered! This savage beast actually has high regenerative abilities!” One of them shouted after witnessing the scene.
Yang Zenke glared at the Thorny Giant Worm and muttered to himself. “Cih! It's gonna be hard..”
