The Fire Earthworms were akin to single-celled organisms, stubborn-minded creatures that, once an idea formed in their brains, would act upon it immediately without concern for whether their actions could lead to success or even if they might encounter danger.
Thus, no matter the level of strength Zhou Tian displayed, it was unlikely to have any impact on those Fire Earthworms. In their minds, they were fixated on how to devour Zhou Tian, and facing such opponents, the only way to defeat them was to annihilate them completely.

However, no matter how troublesome those Fire Earthworms were, one thing was undeniable: their strength could never surpass Zhou Tian's.
