Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

"An ocean?"

Li Wei and Saint Xi stared at the scene before them, their faces etched with surprise.

Coming to his senses, Li Wei shook his head. "This isn’t an ocean. This is most likely the stomach of the Ice Emperor, which means this liquid must be its digestive fluid."

"Be careful. This fluid could be extremely dangerous," Li Wei warned.

Saint Xi nodded, her expression grave. "I understand."

After reaching the edge of the digestive fluid ocean, the Energy Core Star Worm stopped moving.

Just as Li Wei was wondering what it was doing, several specially-shaped, flat Star Worms emerged from the ocean nearby.

The flat Star Worms approached the edge of the ocean and moved in front of the Energy Core Star Worm. Taking small steps, the Energy Core Star Worm dragged its heavy stomach and climbed onto the flat Star Worms’ backs.

The "boat" formed by the several flat Star Worms began to carry the Energy Core Star Worm toward the depths of the ocean.

Li Wei and Saint Xi exchanged a look of amazement.

"It seems this ’seawater’ is indeed extremely dangerous. The Star Worms have even evolved a specialized caste just for transport in this ocean," Li Wei murmured.

Saint Xi said nonchalantly, "It doesn’t matter. We can fly anyway."

"True. Let’s go. But we also need to be careful—the Star Worms might be able to fly, too."

The two resumed following the Energy Core Star Worm, searching for the Star Worm Nest that might be hidden in the ocean of digestive fluid.

’The Star Worm Nest probably isn’t in a place like this,’ Li Wei thought. ’Wouldn’t there be too many restrictions? Of course, from the Ice Emperor’s perspective, having the nest in the digestive ocean would be a good thing, as it would severely limit the Star Worms’ reproduction. If it really is here, perhaps it’s a form of resistance from the Ice Emperor. Anything is possible.’

While they were flying, Saint Xi suddenly looked up. "Li Wei, is something falling from above?"

Li Wei looked up, his gaze focused. His expression quickly changed, and he immediately activated his Invisible Armor Shield, enveloping them both.

A drizzling rain fell from above, lasting for several minutes before stopping.

Li Wei only deactivated the Shield after the rain had passed.

"Acid rain, and it’s highly corrosive," Li Wei said, his expression grim.

Just defending against that short burst of acid rain had consumed a tenth of his Mana.

A tenth of his current Mana was enough to cast a large-scale, Tier Six area-of-effect Attack Magic.

This just showed how terrifying the acid rain was.

This wasn’t ordinary acid rain from the outside world, but a super gastric acid secreted from within the Ice Emperor’s body.

It could easily melt and corrode even metal and jade.

Even a Magic Shield would be corroded.

Li Wei glanced down at the acid ocean below. ’If the acid rain is this terrifying, falling in would probably mean not even your bones could be recovered.’

He scanned their surroundings and said, "Let’s go, quickly. We can’t lose them."

Snapping back to the present, Li Wei hurried Saint Xi along.

The two quickly chased in the direction the Energy Core Star Worm had disappeared.

In the few minutes they had spent fending off the acid rain, the Energy Core Star Worm had vanished from their sight.

Now Li Wei understood why several flat Star Worms moved together when only one was needed to carry the Energy Core Star Worm.

They also had to defend against the acid rain falling from above.

Fortunately, the Star Worms didn’t move quickly in the acid ocean, and Li Wei and Saint Xi soon caught up to the Energy Core Star Worm they had lost.

After advancing through the incredibly dangerous acid ocean and enduring several more downpours of acid rain, Li Wei finally saw the Energy Core Star Worm’s destination.

It was a black island floating in the acid ocean. The island was over five hundred meters long and wide, and its surface was covered in many uneven pits, with Star Worms occasionally crawling in and out.

After climbing down from the flat Star Worms’ backs, the Energy Core Star Worm crawled into a larger opening and disappeared from Li Wei’s view.

Gazing at the black island in the distance, Li Wei was ninety percent certain that this was the Star Worm Nest.

Saint Xi watched the massive black island, which squirmed and shifted as if it were a living creature, and asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?"

Li Wei replied, "To be safe, we first need to confirm if the Star Worm Queen is inside. If she is, we’ll use Magic to destroy it completely."

Saint Xi glanced at Li Wei and asked doubtfully, "Can you even use that Summon Meteorite from the Heavens Magic of yours in here?"

Li Wei was taken aback for a moment. He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "That’s a good point. I probably can’t use the Meteor Fireball Technique inside the Ice Emperor’s body. We’ll have to think of another way."

A corner of Saint Xi’s mouth curled up. She puffed out her chest and said confidently, "Why not leave it to me? I’ve been itching to deal with these disgusting bugs for a while now."

"Watch me incinerate these disgusting bugs with a single blast of Dragon Flame."

Li Wei didn’t doubt that Saint Xi had the power to do it.

However, he still restrained her impulsive urge.

"Calm down. Let’s not alert our target. If we let the Queen get away this time, it’ll be much harder to find the Star Worm Queen again."

"Let me first see if the Queen is actually in there."

Li Wei focused his gaze on the black island below and tried to use his Spiritual Perception to probe the Star Worm Nest.

He discovered that the Star Worm Nest had some ability to block perception.

After strengthening his Spiritual Perception, his Spiritual Power was able to penetrate the Star Worm Nest.

BUZZZZZ!

The Star Worm Nest reacted. Hordes of winged Star Worms burst out of the nest, charging toward Li Wei and Saint Xi.

A single glance told Li Wei that the Star Worms had discovered him after he intensified his Spiritual Perception.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and immediately pushed his Spiritual Perception to its absolute limit.

In an instant, his Spiritual Power shot through the Star Worm Nest like an X-ray, projecting its entire internal structure and all its activity into his mind.

The scene inside the vast Star Worm Nest appeared in Li Wei’s mind.

Soon, his Spiritual Power detected an individual with immense energy, hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary Star Worm.

’Barring any surprises, this has to be the Star Worm Queen,’ he thought.

It was the only such abnormally powerful individual in the entire Star Worm Nest.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Wei shouted, "Saint Xi, full power!"

"RAWR!"

Saint Xi let out a great roar and transformed into a Holy Giant Dragon. Holy Light radiated from her body, illuminating the dim acid ocean.

With a single flap of her massive wings, she shattered the air with a tremendous sonic boom.

The next moment, Saint Xi became a golden meteor, streaking toward the swarm of approaching Star Worms.

Like a golden Holy Sword, she pierced straight through the swarm. Her immense Holy Power annihilated the Star Worms, leaving nothing behind.

The surviving Star Worms caught in the shockwave rapidly changed their forms, attempting to evolve a new shape that could resist the Holy Power.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In the end, all the Star Worms self-detonated in mid-air.

They were unable to evolve into such a form.

Li Wei put away his Blade of Judgment and smiled slightly. "Looks like I won’t be needed."

Saint Xi charged above the Star Worm Nest and opened her great maw, a golden Holy Dragon Breath gathering in her mouth.
