Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 741 - 704: Escape to Heaven

Chapter 741: Chapter 704: Escape to Heaven

Rocky’s all-out strike cleaved the Mother Worm in two, leaving everyone’s jaws dropped in shock and relief. But before they could catch their breath, the Dissolving Cave trembled once more.

Looking in the direction of the trembling, Liliya and the others saw not one, but… three Mother Worms!

Following the tremors, Liliya and her companions quickly saw three gigantic Mother Worms emerge from the darkness, appearing like three moving hills, terrifying and exerting immense pressure.

“How… how is this possible…”

As they watched the three Mother Worms roar and barrel toward them, everyone was stunned. They finally understood why it had taken Rocky so long to return after being flung away and why he had urged everyone to leave immediately after killing the Mother Worm—it was because of this!

Indeed, the reason Rocky took such a long time to come back after being flung to the depths of the Dissolving Cave was that he almost crashed into another Mother Worm. It was this encounter that was reason enough for him to realize that the Dissolving Cave was home to more than just one Mother Worm.

On closer thought, it was evident that the thousands of cocoons in the Dissolving Cave couldn’t have been the progeny of only one Mother Worm. It had to be several Mother Worms to produce so many Flying Demons. But this meant that staying in the cave was not an option for Rocky and his companions.

Don’t assume that because Rocky easily split the Mother Worm in half with one strike that they are easy to defeat. On the contrary, the enormous Mother Worms possess strength in proportion to their vast size. Rocky was able to cut it in half so easily because Liliya and the other two had already severely wounded the Mother Worm, and because of the power of the White Demon Armor and the Magic Fang Scythe.

But now, facing three Mother Worms appearing simultaneously, it wasn’t going to be easy for Rocky to dispose of them all. Given the strength the Mother Worm had previously demonstrated, should even one survive, it would pose a massive threat to both Rocky and the other three. Therefore, unless Rocky could instantly slay all three Mother Worms at once, he had no confidence in entangling with such creatures any longer.

Thus, Rocky made an immediate decision—they couldn’t stay here any longer. Though somewhat unwilling to leave, they had to depart. If they left now, there might still be a chance to return, but if they all died here, everything would indeed be over.

After that, without a second word, Rocky immediately led Liliya and the others flying toward the exit above. They fled through the opening before the three Mother Worms got any closer, flying back into the chasm.

“Rocky, are we just leaving like this?”

Back in the chasm, although everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also felt unease. They all knew that if they left this time, it might not be so easy to come back again. Although unwilling to admit it, they had to acknowledge that the Demons were breeding in such a concealed place, undoubtedly as a precaution against humans. It was conceivable that after they left this time, returning would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, even if they could come back, dealing with the three Mother Worms—or worse, the tens of thousands of Flying Demons about to hatch—would still be a headache.

“……”

Rocky was well aware of this issue, but he remained firm in his decision—they needed to leave as soon as possible. He would rather abandon this place than let his people die in this cursed location. That was his bottom line.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

However, just as Rocky was about to speak with a frown, a series of roaring hisses came from the Dissolving Cave. Looking down through the exit, the four of them saw the three Mother Worms below!

They’ve actually caught up!

Just as they saw the Mother Worm had reached the entrance, everyone was alarmed, quickly maneuvering their Armors to accelerate and start flying upwards, but at the very moment they accelerated their ascent, they heard a loud boom, and the Mother Worm’s eight legs suddenly sank downwards, and then, just as quickly, it leaped into the entrance!

Upon entering the pit, the Mother Worm’s huge body spread its eight legs in an instant, barely gripping the surrounding cliffs as if casting a giant net inside the deep pit, then began to climb up relentlessly.

“My God! How did this thing climb up here!”

Looking down, they saw a creature of enormous size climbing up from the Dissolving Cave below, leaving Rocky and his companions dumbstruck, never having imagined that the Mother Worm, with its massive body, could climb up through the entrance.

Now they were in trouble, as Rocky and the others didn’t even have the chance to discuss their next move, hurriedly speeding up their climb without any delay.

When they had flown down earlier, Rocky and his team had also been pursued by tentacles, but the situation now was far more dangerous than before. Despite the Mother Worm’s enormous size, or precisely because of it, when it climbed up the cliff walls, it moved incredibly fast. Each movement it made allowed it to ascend more than ten meters. Although the frequency was slow, its speed was not at all slower than Rocky and his team.

In such dire straits, Rocky didn’t dare to pause or delay. He pushed the Armor’s speed to the maximum. It had to be admitted that the advantages of the Void Magic Armor were immense under these circumstances: its flying ability combined with its superior speed eventually enabled Rocky and his team to create a safe distance from the Mother Worm, which continued to grow larger.

But just then, just when Rocky and his team had breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, several huge tentacles burst out from the depths of the cliffs, instantly blocking their path!

“Stick with me!”

The suddenly appearing tentacles frightened everyone, but Rocky’s reaction was lightning-fast. The moment the tentacles reached out, he swung the Scythe in his hand, slicing the tentacles into pieces in just a few swipes, then quickly led Liliya and the others past the tentacle blockade.

However, after this, more tentacles burst forth from the cliffs, and began flailing wildly within the walls. Although they were not fast, they undoubtedly slowed Rocky and his team’s escape, allowing the Mother Worm, which had been left behind, to catch up again.

Left with no choice, Rocky had to take the lead, sweeping away all obstacles with his Scythe while considering how to break through.

Given the current situation, with Rocky’s strength, if he cleared the path ahead, the tentacles would definitely not be able to stop them. If the tentacles couldn’t stop them, then the Mother Worm behind would certainly not be able to catch up. But the problem was what to do after they emerged from the deep pit.

After all, the Dissolving Cave above had been occupied by Beetles and Mantis Demons. Therefore, even if Rocky and his team manage to break through the deep pit successfully, they would still have to face endless Beetles and Mantis Demons. And without a doubt, the Mother Worm would eventually also break into the Dissolving Cave above. What should they do then?

How exactly could they escape from this place?

“I’ve got it!”

As this thought struck him, a spark of inspiration flashed across Rocky’s mind. He then turned back and shouted to Liliya, “Liliya! Dusa! Take He Nan and stick close to me, we’re going to speed up!”
