Several people turned to him, and he explained quickly.
"These things live in enormous colonies. A small nest holds millions, and a large one can hold tens of millions or even hundreds of millions." His face turned grave. "If someone falls into a full nest, even a cultivator at the 9th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm can be eaten alive before he gets out."
The others went pale at once, and the Heavyset Middle-aged Man looked around.
"Don't stay on the ground. Everyone, fly!"
He circulated his Essence Qi, and his body rose. Then a black light flashed with a hiss, and his expression froze. A thin line appeared across his neck, his head came away from his body, and blood sprayed out as his corpse fell.
Everyone stared. "What?"
The Heavyset Middle-aged Man had been powerful. Before his capture, he had reached the 7th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, and in this group only Li Yun and the Gray-robed Elder had been stronger. Yet the moment he took to the air, he died.
