Seeing this situation, the five people hurriedly suppressed their footsteps, and then used their clothes to cover part of the light of the crystal lamp.
At this time, the movements of the surrounding egg-shaped objects slowed down, and the rustling sounds in the eggs gradually disappeared, and calm returned to normal.
After the five people breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Li lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "Third Grandpa, what on earth are these?"
Ye Wujin glanced around, a little doubt in his eyes, and then said: "I don't know what these are, they look like eggs of something, but I instinctively feel that these things should be very dangerous.
We slowed down our pace, covered the lights, and tried not to disturb these things.
Look ahead, there is an exit, we just need to walk through it quietly."
As Ye Wujin spoke, he pointed to the other side of the cave hall, where there was an entrance.
Ye Li and the three elders nodded, not daring to make any sound, and followed Ye Wujin carefully to the opposite side.
Although the three of them walked carefully, they were not slow and soon passed through the middle of the cave hall.
Without the stimulation of light and sound, these egg-shaped objects became completely calm, like ordinary rocks.
Just when Ye Li and the other four were planning to speed up their pace and leave the area quickly, a series of hurried footsteps and heavy breathing suddenly rang out from the cave passage they had passed through.
The five people were startled and turned around suddenly, looking at the cave entrance behind them with vigilance. A middle-aged man covered in blood rushed out of the cave in panic.
Behind him, there were three mole wolves with glowing red eyes.
The moment they saw this man and the mole behind him, the faces of Ye Li and the other four changed immediately. It was not because they were afraid of the three mole wolves, but because the noise made by them had alarmed the strange eggs hanging on the stone walls of the cave hall.
In the originally quiet cave hall, there was a rustling sound all of a sudden, as if thousands of poisonous snakes were crawling.
This terrifying sound caused goose bumps to appear on Ye Li and the other four people's skin in an instant.
"Damn it, hurry... let's run, that guy has alarmed something here."
Ye Wujin cursed and hurriedly called Ye Li and the three elders.
The five people had already reacted at this time, and they didn't care to slow down their steps anymore. They turned around and strode towards the opposite cave entrance. The middle-aged man who had just entered the cave hall saw Ye Li and the other five not far away. He immediately seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted loudly: "Help, please save me!"
In his panic, he didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment at all. After being stimulated by his screams, the strange eggs on the stone wall shrank even more violently, as if they would explode at any time.
Hearing the other party's shouting, Ye Li and the other four showed bad expressions on their faces.
Before they could react, the strange eggs above the middle-aged man's head, which had expanded to twice their size, exploded with a loud bang. Countless smelly liquids splashed everywhere, and along with the liquids, dozens of strange maggots twisted wildly like poisonous snakes.
The strange maggots were as big as small snakes, brown all over, and looked extremely slippery. As they twisted their bodies, they rubbed against each other, making a series of rustling sounds.
"This... This is a Soul Devouring Maggot, a social monster in the Spiritual Pill Stage!"
Ye Li recognized the strange maggots the moment he saw them, because he had seen them once in the illusion in the rune secret land, so he had a very deep impression of them.
His shouting also alerted Ye Wujin and the three elders. Ye Wujin said to them anxiously, "Hurry up, there are too many soul-eating maggots here. You can't deal with them except me, and I can't protect you alone!"
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Ye Li and the three elders were also running away, because they all knew how powerful this notorious strange monster was.
The middle-aged man at the back was not so lucky, because the noise on his side was the loudest, so the soul-eating maggots above his head were the first to be alarmed.
The egg sac formed by the soul-eating maggots enveloped the middle-aged man and the mole wolf behind him the moment it exploded.
The slurry with strong corrosive power was first splashed on the middle-aged man, and a puff of green smoke and a howl rose from his body.
The middle-aged man who was originally running for his life staggered two steps unconsciously due to the severe pain. His movements slowed down a little, and he was knocked to the ground by three red-eyed mole wolves following closely behind him.
Before he could struggle, the mole wolf with red eyes bit him without hesitation.
However, what moved faster than the mole wolves were the soul-eating maggots that fell from the top of the cave. These disgusting creatures, which were several meters long, rolled towards the middle-aged man and the three mole wolves the moment they landed.
In just one breath, dozens of soul-eating maggots entangled the man and three wolves into a ball.
The three mole wolves seemed to have no intention of resisting the soul-eating maggots and just allowed them to attack them.
It seemed that the middle-aged man was their only target in their scarlet eyes.
The huge noise had awakened all the soul-eating maggots in the entire cave hall. Egg sacs began to explode on the ceiling and walls of the cave, and groups of soul-eating maggots twisted and entangled continued to fall down.
After just two breaths, there was no more sound from the place where the middle-aged man fell. Only a huge maggot ball formed by hundreds of soul-eating maggots was still rolling around.
Although the five people on Ye Li's side saw the opportunity early and started to flee immediately, they still could not completely avoid the attack of the soul-eating maggots.
Four or five groups of soul-eating maggots wrapped together spewed out from the egg sacs near them and surrounded the five people.
The three elders immediately activated their talismans, trying to attack and disperse these soul-eating maggots. However, when their talismans fell among the soul-eating maggots, they only injured a few maggots at the front. The talismans, which were originally so powerful, shattered in the blink of an eye and turned into streams of spiritual energy that were eaten by the group of soul-eating maggots.
The soul-eating maggot that had swallowed the talisman seemed to become even more excited. It accelerated suddenly and surrounded the five people again.
"Don't attack them. Spiritual Pill Stage attacks can't do anything to them. They will only make them stronger."
Ye Wujin took out a square hammer as big as a human head and shouted to everyone.
After infusing the awl in his hand with enough spiritual energy, Ye Wujin threw it up suddenly and drew a series of talismans with his hand.
A strong golden spiritual energy quickly condensed on the hammer, and the entire hammer head became extremely huge in the blink of an eye, and smashed towards a group of soul-eating maggots.
