Chapter 537 - Quickly Stop

Chapter 537 - Quickly Stop

Suddenly, he felt something under his feet sway slightly.
Klein was taken aback and quickly stopped him.
"James, don't hit the tree trunk! Quickly stop!"
James was taken aback. He also realized that something was amiss.
The moment he patted the tree, there seemed to be something buzzing in the tree. As the sound of his tapping grew louder, he hurriedly stopped and took two steps back.
Then, the towering tree actually shook slightly.
Klein quickly grabbed James by the shoulder..
"Don't look. Follow me and find a place to hide!"
It turned out that Klein had already received detailed information about the tree through the system.
Other than the precious resources on the tree, the tree was also very dangerous. There was an extremely terrifying creature living inside it!
If they were careful not to touch the main body of the tree, these creatures wouldn't be awakened. It was basically safer.
However, James' slap just now had awakened these things!
James was dragged back by Klein when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind him.
It sounded like a huge roar from a swarm of mosquitoes.
James turned around curiously and saw a red cloud flying out from the tree trunk.
James was shocked and immediately felt that something was amiss!
"What exactly is this red cloud? Why does it feel like a swarm of hornets?"
Klein sighed softly in his heart. That's right, according to common sense, it could indeed be seen as a swarm of hornets.
The only difference was that these creatures were even more terrifying than hornets.
If it were to bite them, it wouldn't just be poisoning or swelling. It would probably be life-threatening!
"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and run with me! If these things catch up to us, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
James couldn't help but feel guilty. If he hadn't patted the tree trunk with his extra hands, he wouldn't have provoked these things.
He hadn't even gotten his hands on the precious treasures when he was about to begin his escape.
Unfortunately, the terrain of the entire space was complicated. Furthermore, there was some rare grass beneath his feet, and the branches of some trees were sticking out.
It was very inconvenient to move in this place, and he could trip over the plants under his feet at any moment,
James accidentally tripped on the roots of a tree. His body lost its balance as he sprinted, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
Klein frowned slightly and was about to pull James up when the terrifying things behind him caught up.
So these things were the legendary Bloodworm King.
Due to their extremely powerful attacks, they were also nicknamed the Red Killers.
These Red Killers had always been fighting in groups. Not only did they attack humans, they were also bloodthirsty!
At this moment, Klein realized that it was too late to continue running.
He quickly took off his coat and danced in the air in an attempt to chase away the Red Killers!
James quickly struggled to get up from the ground and took off his coat as well.
Seeing that James was unharmed, Klein felt relieved. He flicked out a true fire with his left hand.
The flames soared into the sky and instantly dispelled the Bloodworm Kings that surrounded him!
However, the Bloodworm Kings didn't seem to be afraid of the true fire burning them. They quickly gathered together and continued chasing after the two.
Perhaps it was because they were fleeing in the wrong direction, but then they realized that they had taken the wrong path.
They weren't on the way back, but into a forest that was even more difficult to walk through!
And on the way forward, they actually discovered many ghastly white bones.
James was taken aback. "Isn't this an undeveloped space? Why are there so many white bones?! Could it be that someone has entered this space before?!"
Klein shook his head. "Take a closer look. These aren't human bones. They should belong to primates that are about the same size as humans..."
This also proved that there were living creatures in this space.
And these creatures were basically extinct for some reason. All that was left were these white bones!
James already had a bad premonition, and Klein also had such thoughts.
They immediately understood how these white bones were formed.
If there were living creatures in this space, they definitely needed to reproduce, which would have some impact on the ecological environment.
And the loud noise might have alarmed the Red Killers that were originally in the tree.
After the Bloodworm Kings flew out, they launched a brutal attack on these creatures, and in the end, all of them were exterminated.
"Holy crap, these Red Killers are too powerful. They can actually exterminate all creatures that are dozens of times larger than them. This probably has the power to destroy the world!"
Not only that, Klein suspected that these creatures didn't decay naturally into white bones.
Instead, they were gnawed by the Red Killers until they looked like this.
He could even imagine that wherever the red tide passed, all the living things would be gnawed away in an instant!
James suddenly felt his scalp go numb. No, even if he died, he couldn't die so miserably!
He quickly grabbed Klein's arm and dragged him forward, turning into a reverse drag.
James shook his head. "Klein, the path here is too difficult. Can't you use the invisible cloak to turn into a flying carpet?"
Klein shook his head. Although the flying carpet was fast, it had obvious flaws.
The terrain was complicated, and the space was filled with obstacles. It wasn't suitable for flying carpet.
Most importantly, flying carpets in the air formed a living target.
That way, the Red Killers' pursuit would become faster and faster!
At that moment, the two of them heard a loud buzzing sound as they approached once again.
In such an environment, Klein and James didn't have any advantage in escaping.
'It looks like I have to think of another way...'
'Since I have fire-type spells that can't affect the Bloodworm King, I'll try other types of spells!'
Although Klein had comprehended the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, there were still some prerequisites to using it.
That's right, if Klein wanted to try the wood-type spell he had just comprehended...
He wasn't very mature when he had just comprehended it, so he rarely used it against enemies and defense. It seemed like he had no choice but to try it today!
With this thought in mind, Klein stopped in his tracks and prepared to take the lead in attacking.
James also summoned his bow and arrow and prepared to counterattack!
