Gu Yun, who was following behind Ye Li, felt extremely relieved at this moment. Ye Li's strength was really too powerful. He himself was already considered a good talisman master in the local area, but was slightly weaker than his father, Gu Tianwen, who was also a talisman master of this level.
But if he had entered the Netherworld Cave by himself, he might have been injured by the time he got here. After all, both the beetle monster that had appeared before and the insect monsters in front of him had the power to injure him.
If he had come in alone, he would probably be injured or even dead by now.
Following Ye Li, Gu Yun passed through this cave passage with great peace of mind and entered another huge cave space deep underground.
After arriving at this place, the surrounding environment suddenly became clear. The cave hall in front of them was as huge as an underground world.
The cave hall extended far into the distance, and Ye Li and Gu Yun could not fully observe the situation in the underground cave even if they tried their best.
After the two looked at each other, they could only choose to walk away along the underground road. Perhaps Gu Tianwen was somewhere in this underground world.
The two had just walked a short distance when there was a huge noise around them. A monster about five or six meters thick and shaped like a giant earthworm suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Scavenging hyena, why is this thing here!!!"
Gu Yun immediately recognized the monster in front of him and couldn't help but shout out in surprise.
The monster in front of him has the cultivation level of a divine being, and is much stronger than Gu Yun himself.
Its huge body is covered with thick armor, and its entire body is covered with sharp teeth like knives. It looks like it is not easy to mess with.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. Just when Gu Yun was feeling a little uneasy, a golden light flashed across Ye Li's fingertips.
The golden light gathered in the air and formed the shape of a sharp long sword, which slashed directly towards the monster's body.
The carrion earthworm was pouncing towards Ye Li and Gu Yun, but was naturally hit by the golden sword.
Amidst the flash of powerful golden light, the body of the scavenger iguana was instantly split in half, and a large number of half-digested corpses of monsters fell to the ground, covering the ground.
"Hey, how could it devour so many monsters? Although this guy's attack ability is strong, his attack intention is not too strong. It is impossible for it to attack a large group of other monsters!!!"
Gu Yun said with a look of surprise on his face as he looked at the pile of corpses in front of him.
Ye Li took a closer look and found that all the monsters that fell from the belly of the carrion-eating hyena were corpses, without any signs of life.
Some of these monsters are very large, while others are relatively small, but they are obviously all the same kind of monsters.
A foul odor hit his face, and Ye Li couldn't help but frown.
It can be seen from the corpses of these monsters that they are all the same kind of monsters, which means that this scavenging earthworm is likely to have eaten a monster of the same species from the same tribe.
Ye Li did not think this situation was weird. After all, the carrion earthworms were powerful in themselves, perhaps even stronger than the monsters in his stomach. It should not be strange that they could kill the group of monsters in one breath and swallow all the corpses.
But Gu Yun didn't think so. Although he had never entered the Nether Cave, he had read many books introducing the situation in the Nether Cave.
People who have been here before have recorded the existence of scavenging earthworms. Although this kind of monster is aggressive, its aggression is not too strong. They will only attack solitary monsters, or monsters that gather in groups of only one or two, or two or three.
The same is true for humans. If there are more than five people together, the scavenger iguana will no longer attack. It can be considered a very cautious monster.
But now, in the monster's stomach, there are so many corpses of the same monster that are being digested. It is very likely that these monsters were not killed by it at all. It may have picked up some other bargains to be able to swallow so many monsters in one breath.
Gu Yun informed Ye Li of this situation. Ye Li was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help but look at the pile of monster corpses rolling out of his stomach.
"You said these monsters weren't killed by this big guy!?"
Ye Li asked about Gu Yun's arrival.
Gu Yun nodded and said, "It was indeed not killed by it. If so many monsters gathered together, the scavenging earthworms would not even approach, let alone launch an attack.
This guy is very cautious, and he won't consider launching an attack if there are too many opponents."
After hearing Gu Yun's words, Ye Li naturally understood the doubts.
"This is the underground world. If there are a lot of monsters, there must be fights. Could it be that this scavenging earthworm just happened to catch a group of monsters fighting, so it can swallow a lot of corpses."
Ye Li guessed.
Gu Yun shook his head and said, "The monsters in the Netherworld Cave each have their own territory, so fighting rarely occurs.
Especially deep underground, the monsters each occupied an area to practice and seldom thought of fighting.
Therefore, such a large group of monsters are most likely not killed in a fight between monsters, but the corpses left behind after a fight between monsters and invaders!!!"
After hearing this, Ye Li finally understood what Gu Yun cared about. It turned out that Gu Yun saw hope of finding Gu Tianwen from this pile of corpses.
Because in his opinion, the monster in the belly of the scavenger iguana might have been killed by his father Gu Tianwen.
Few people come here anymore. His father has definitely entered the Netherworld Cave and will definitely fight with the monsters here as an invader.
If this is true, then it would not be surprising even if a large group of monsters died at the hands of Gu Tianwen.
It is very likely that the carrion-eating earthworms happened to catch up with this battle and devoured the corpses on the ground.
Thinking of this, Ye Li looked at Gu Yun and said, "Brother Gu Yun, are you doubting that these monsters were killed by Senior Gu Tianwen?"
Gu Yun nodded and said, “Yes, I think my guess is very likely.
Judging from the degree to which these bodies have been digested, they should not have been swallowed for too long. If they were really killed by my father, then our current location should not be too far from where my father is. "
After hearing Gu Yun's words, Ye Li couldn't help but look around. In the huge underground world, there were still many forks in the road, and no one knew where these forks led to.
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said to Gu Yun: "Brother Gu Yun, let's search nearby first. Maybe we can find some clues left by Senior Gu Tianwen!!!" (To be continued)
