Valen changed into the clothes he had taken off the guard. Although there was still some blood and smell on the clothes, he could barely deal with the next action. He hid the Tang sword inside the clothes to ensure that he could be pulled out at any time.

He checked the items in the lounge and found some keys, a few bottles of inferior wine and some scattered bullets. Valen put the keys away, and these things might be useful in the next action.

He walked out of the lounge and returned to the corridor. The corridor was still dark, and the smell of rotten and blood were filled with the air. Valen's eyes swept across the cells on both sides, and the prisoners inside were still numbly curled up in the corner, as if they had lost it.

The desire for freedom was suppressed in Valen's heart, but he knew that it was not the time to save people. He had to find the location of the mother and Worm as soon as possible and completely destroy this hellish place.

Valen continued along the corridor, his footsteps so light that he could barely hear. His eyes swept around with caution, his ears capturing any movement possible. At the end of the corridor was a thick iron door with complex inlaid

The lock is obviously an important area. Valen took out the keys found from the guardian from his pocket, tried a few times, and finally opened the iron door.

Behind the door is a downward staircase, with several dim oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides of the staircase. The lights sway and cast strange shadows. Valen took a deep breath and stepped onto the staircase. The staircase was not long, very

He came to an underground hall soon. There was a huge stone altar in the center of the hall, with some strange vessels and tools placed on it, and the surrounding ground was engraved with complex runes.

Valen's eyes were attracted by a huge cave behind the altar. The entrance to the cave was covered with a thick layer of spider webs, and some shriveled insect shells were hung on the spider webs. A deeper buzzing sound came from the cave, as if

Something was squirming. Valen's heartbeat was quickening, and he knew that the mother of insects was probably in this cave.

He approached the cave carefully, and the Tang sword in his hand was already tightly clenched. Just as he was about to enter the cave, a sudden sound of footsteps came from behind him. Valen quickly turned around and saw a man in a black robe standing at the entrance of the hall.

The man had a strange smile on his face and held a scepter inlaid with gems in his hand.

"I didn't expect that a mouse slipped into my territory." The man's voice was low and hoarse, with a chilling majesty.

Valen narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Are you Worm?"

The man smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I am Worm. It seems that you have seen my 'work'. How about it, isn't it perfect?"

Valen did not answer, his eyes were fixed on Worm, and the Tang sword in his hand was slightly raised, ready to attack at any time.

Worm didn't seem to care about Valen's hostility. He slowly walked towards the altar, and the scepter in his hand gently tapped the ground, making a crisp sound. "Do you know? The insect mother is my lifelong hard work. It's not just

A creature, it is the source of power and the key to eternal life. As long as the mother of insects exists, I can control everything."

Valen sneered: "Your eternal life is built on the pain of countless people. Today, I will end all this with my own hands."

Worm's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold look. "Arrogant boy, do you think you can stop me alone? The power of the insect mother is far beyond your imagination."

Before he finished speaking, Worm suddenly raised his scepter, and the gem at the top of the scepter emitted a dazzling light. Then, the buzzing sound in the cave suddenly intensified, and countless white insects surged out of the cave, towards the water like a tide.

Valen rushed over.

Valen quickly retreated, and the Tang sword in his hand waved a series of cold lights, cutting the nearby insects into two segments. However, the number of insects was too large, and Valen was quickly forced into a corner. Cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

I knew in my heart that if I didn't deal with Worm as soon as possible, I would be swallowed by these bugs sooner or later.

Just as Valen was forced into a desperate situation by the swarm of insects, a thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly took out a bottle of inferior wine found from his waist and smashed it hard on the ground.

It instantly spilled over the ground, and Valen quickly took out a box of matches from his pocket, lit them and threw them at the alcohol.

"boom!"

The flames spread out instantly, forming a wall of fire, temporarily blocking the insects. The insects made sharp hissings and retreated one after another, not daring to get close to the flames. Valen took the opportunity to rush out of the corner and headed straight for Worm.

Seeing this, Worm's face changed and he hurriedly waved his scepter to try to summon more bugs. However, Worn's speed was faster than he thought. He rushed to Worm with a quick turn of lightning.

Punched out. Worm hurriedly raised his scepter to block it, but Valen's blade had already cut through his arm, and blood suddenly gushed out.

"Do you think you can defeat me this way?" Worm roared, and the gem on the scepter emitted a dazzling light again. The buzzing sound in the depths of the cave became even more intense, and the mother of insect seemed to feel Worm's summoning and began to slow down.

Move slowly.

Valen felt the ground shaking slightly, and he knew that the insect mother was approaching. He had to solve Worm as soon as possible, otherwise once the insect mother appeared, the situation would be completely out of control. He took a deep breath, swung the Tang sword in his hand again, pointing directly

Worm's throat.

Worm sneered, and a scepter swung suddenly, and an invisible force shook Valen back several steps. Vorm stabilized his body and was secretly alert. Worm's power was much stronger than he expected, obviously the insect

The existence of the mother gave him some extraordinary ability.

"You can't understand the power of the insect mother!" Worm laughed wildly, lifting the scepter again, and the air around him seemed to become heavier. Valen felt an invisible pressure covering him and his movements became slow.

At this moment, a whisper suddenly came from Valen's ear, as if a sound from deep inside him: "Use fire... only fire can destroy it..."

Valen suddenly realized that although the insect mother and these insects were powerful, they were obviously afraid of the flames. He quickly took out the remaining bottle from his pocket and smashed it hard at Worm. Worm could not dodge, and the wine spilled on him.

On the black robe, Valen quickly lit the last match and threw it at Warm.

"boom!"

Worm's black robe was ignited in an instant, and the flames quickly spread throughout his body. He let out a shrill scream, waving his scepter frantically, trying to extinguish the flames. However, the flames burned more and more vigorously, and Worm's body was gradually being

Swallow.

At the same time, the mother insects in the cave let out a deafening roar, as if she felt Worm's pain. Valen seized the opportunity, rushed to the altar, and pushed down all the oil lamps on the altar. The flames quickly spread to the entire hall and the ground

The runes on them emit a strange light in the flames.

The figure of the mother insect finally appeared from the cave. It was an extremely huge white insect body, covered with eyes and tentacles, and thick liquid was sprayed out of its mouth. Its appearance made the entire hall start to vibrate, as if

It will collapse at any time.

Valen knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible. He quickly ran towards the stairs, and the mother behind him roared angryly, trying to chase him. However, the flame had spread to the entrance of the cave, and the mother's body was surrounded by flames, making a harsh sound.

Hissing.

Valen rushed up the stairs with all his might, and the flames behind him were intertwined with the roar of the insect mother. As soon as he ran out of the iron gate, a loud noise came from behind him, and the entire underground hall collapsed. Valen was overturned by the air waves.

On the ground, but he quickly got up and ran towards the other end of the corridor.

The prisoners in the corridor were awakened by the explosion and shouted in horror. Valen knew that he had to take them out of here as soon as possible. He quickly opened the door of the cell and shouted loudly: "Run! This place is going to collapse!"

Although the prisoners were weak, driven by the instinct of survival, they struggled to get up and ran towards the exit. While commanding them, Valen observed the surroundings vigilantly to make sure that no one was left out.

Just as the last prisoner ran out of the corridor, the entire underground prison began to shake violently, and the walls and ceiling began to collapse. Valen rushed out of the prison with all his might, and the building behind him collapsed completely in the roar, raising the dust in the sky.

Valen gasped and leaned against the wall beside the ruins, looking at the mess in front of him. He knew that the mother of insects and Worm had been buried underground, and this hellish place had finally been destroyed.

He slowly stood up and walked towards the distance. Next, he needed to find Lilith and Leonardo to ensure they left safely. Then, he would contact Miranda to completely clean up the remnants of Worm's ancestral home.

Valen's steps were firm and powerful, and he knew that the battle was not completely over, but he had taken the most important step.

Just as Valen thought everything was over and was about to leave the ruins, a suffocating sense of oppression suddenly came from the air. He stopped suddenly and turned to look towards the collapsed underground hall. In the dust and smoke,

A huge figure slowly appeared.

It was a monster nearly three meters tall, with its body composed of countless wriggling insect bodies, covered with thick carapaces, and shining with a metallic luster. Its head has no facial features, only a huge mouth covered with sharp teeth.

Corrosive liquid kept dripping from his mouth. Its arms were like a huge sickle, flashing with cold light, and behind it several tentacles composed of insect bodies were stretched. Each tentacle seemed to have an independent consciousness and danced in the air.

"The Incarnation of the Insect...Kalsas..." Valen murmured in a low voice, and an unprecedented sense of crisis arose in his heart. He thought that the Incarnation Mother and Worm were the end of this nightmare, but he didn't expect the real

The threat has just begun.

Karthas took a step slowly, and the ground trembled. Its voice was like the roar of countless insects, harsh and low: "Silly mortal...you think that destroying the mother of insects and Worm will stop me

The arrival of the insect mother is just a container of my strength, and Worm... is just my puppet."

Valen held the Don Karthas tightly and stared at Karthas. He knew that the enemy in front of him was far from comparable to Worm's previous swarm. Karthas's existence had surpassed common sense, and its power was enough to destroy.

everything.

"No matter what you are, I will send you back to hell." Valen said coldly, and despite his vigilance, his tone was still firm.

Karthas let out a low laugh, as if he had heard something ridiculous. It raised a sickle-like arm and waved it gently, and an invisible force instantly knocked Valen away several meters away. Valen was heavy

The ground hit the wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Struggle like an ant..." Karthas slowly walked towards Valen, causing the ground to shake slightly with each step. Its tentacles danced in the air, as if teasing its prey.

Valen stood up with difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He knew that his strength alone could not compete with Karthas. But he did not give up, but quickly took out the bullets and wine he had found from his pocket.

Bottle. He poured out the gunpowder from the bullet, sprinkled it into the wine bottle, and then sealed the bottle's mouth with a cloth strip to make a simple molten bottle.

"Try this!" Valen shouted and smashed the molten bottle at Kalsas. The bottle drew an arc in the air and accurately hit Kalsas' chest. Valen quickly lit the match and threw it at the burner at Kalsas's chest.

.

"boom!"

The flame spread across Kalsas in an instant, but it was not engulfed by the flames like the previous swarm. Kalsas just waved his tentacles gently, and the flames were extinguished. There was a hint of mockery in its voice: "

Flame? Do you think this low-level method can hurt me?"

Valen's heart sank, but he was not panicked. He knew that he had to find Kalsas' weakness. He quickly observed Kalsas's body and found a core with a faint glow on its chest, which seemed to be him.

The source of power.

"The core...that is its weakness!" Valen said in his heart. He held the Don Karthar tightly and rushed towards Karthar. Karthar seemed to have noticed his intention, and swung his sickle-like arm out and took it straight.

Valen's throat.

Valen quickly leaned over and dodged, and the Don Kalsas's chest was pierced by the sword. However, before the blade touched the core, Kalsas's tentacles had already wrapped around his wrist. Valen felt a huge wave of

The force lifted himself up and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Silly mortal... your struggle is meaningless." Karthas's voice was filled with contempt. It raised one foot and was ready to crush Valen completely.

At this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from Valen's ear: "Valen! Hold on!"

He looked up and saw Lilith and Leonardo rushing over from the other end of the corridor. Lilith was holding a silver pistol in his hand, aiming the muzzle at Karsace. Leonardo was dragging it.

A huge hammer, although his body was still weak, his eyes were full of determination.

"Why are you... here?" Valen asked with difficulty.

"How could we leave you alone!" Lilith shouted and pulled the trigger. The bullet accurately hit Karthas's chest core, and although it failed to cause fatal damage, it took it a step back.

Leonardo took the opportunity to rush to Valen and helped him up: "We have to deal with it together!"
