Chapter 844: [ First Watch ]
He went about 50 meters deep and came to a corner. Dudian looked forward but still couldn’t see the end of the cave. There were a lot of worms in the cave. They looked like dogs that had smelled strange smells, the worms squirmed out from the crevices and the wet ground. They looked up at Dudian and Amelia.
The worm was like an earthworm. It had no eyes at both ends. There was only a round hole that looked like a mouth. It looked disgusting and creepy.
Amelia’s face turned pale. She subconsciously hid behind dudian. She saw Aisha standing quietly on Dudian’s right side.
Although she knew that she was a dead body and didn’t know fear, but Amelia had a strange feeling in her heart.
The next moment, all of the worms left the nest and swarmed toward Dudian. The body of the worm that was originally the length of a finger was stretched to half a meter long. It squirmed and moved forward in a bow shape. Its speed was slightly faster than an ordinary adult’s walking speed, when the worm squirmed to four or five meters in front of dudian, it raised its body and sprayed transparent mucus from the round hole at the front end. Its speed was extremely fast and it shot toward Dudian like a water gun.
Dudian quickly rushed up and dodged the shot of the transparent mucus. He lifted the worm and cut off its body. Although he couldn’t kill it but he could restrict its movement.
The simplest way to kill the worm was to cut its body into two halves. If it was cut horizontally, it wouldn’t die on the spot. Instead, the wound would heal over time, the two parts of the body would slowly grow into two worms.
But to cut them vertically, the body of the crooked worms had to be pulled straight and fixed.
Although with Dudian’s knife skills, he could cut them in half even without fixing their bodies, but he needed to concentrate and waste more time. Therefore, cutting them in half was the best way.
Soon, Dudian cut a path through the desolate insects. He turned his hand to shake the bell and let Aisha follow him.
Amelia didn’t need Dudian to say much and quickly followed behind Aisha.
Dudian walked forward. Everywhere he passed, the bodies of the desolate insects fell on the ground and twisted.
“How Deep is it?”Dudian asked as he walked and killed.
Amelia looked at half of the insects that occasionally fell to the ground. Her face was pale: “I don’t know. But I heard that it is very deep.”
Dudian frowned slightly. At this time, he continued to go nearly fifty meters deeper. The number of insects in front of him was increasing. Some of the walls were covered with a layer of insects, dudian even thought that they were part of the wall. But when Dudian arrived, they slowly wriggled and woke up. It was as if the front wall was twisting.
In addition to the large number, the size of the desolate insects was also much larger. Dudian finally realized how courageous it was for ordinary villagers like priory to come in and hunt the desolate insects.
Whoosh!
A black worm jumped out from the side of the wall. It was like a poisonous snake. It quickly wrapped around Dudian’s thigh and stretched towards his crotch.
Dudian quickly grabbed it and pulled it down. He threw it into the cave and continued to move forward.
Hiss!
Several white worms swam towards Dudian. They didn’t move in a bow but in a snake shape. Their bodies were thick and strong like a baby’s arm. They were about one meter long and smooth, the first half of their bodies were slightly raised. The soft tissues under their bodies extended out and turned into two sharp blades. They were like mantis arms as they swam towards Dudian, their speed was faster than that of a primary hunter.
Dudian’s face slightly changed. This should be considered one of the stronger ones among the insects. Although the ordinary insects were very strong. The mucus they spat out could corrode the body and armor. But after all, their movement was slow. A normal person would be able to dodge it, but from the shape of the desolate insects, they were like killers. Ordinary people would definitely die if they encountered them. What surprised him the most was that the body of the desolate insects had changed. Its round body could suddenly produce sharp blades!
Whoosh!
Dudian waved his sword and cut off several white desolate insects that were swimming towards him. In front of a master level expert, these insects were as slow as a turtle’s speed.
Dudian picked up a broken white blade insect and said: “Open the jar.”
Amelia’s face turned pale but she quickly opened the jar in her arms.
Dudian threw the slightly twisted half of the insect into the jar. Amelia quickly closed the jar. Dudian turned around and continued to kill the insects: “You can eat it after it suffocates.”
Amelia’s face was ugly but she knew that there was no point in arguing. She could only hold the pot and follow dudian.
In the blink of an eye, they went deeper than a hundred meters.
Dudian found that the number of the worm had decreased. However, the size of the worm had increased. The grey worm that he had met outside the cave had disappeared, they were as thick as an adult’s arm and one meter long. But when they swam over, their round bodies were like machines. There were seven or eight sharp blades in their soft tissues. There were even two short wings on the back of the desolate insects, they could fly up like dragonflies that were magnified hundreds of times.
Dudian brandished his sword and quickly cut them into pieces. Although the large desolate insects were strong but their speed was similar to a limiter. In front of him they could only be considered as “Small monsters”.
“It’s so deep.”Dudian crossed the body of the worm. He calculated the distance. He had walked about 200 meters from the outside of the cave, but if it was a 200-meter tall building then one could feel the length of the building. A normal monster’s cave was at most 30 meters deep.
“Whoosh!”
There was a worm hanging upside down from the top of the cave. It suddenly spat out a mouthful of mucus and shot at the ground in front of Dudian’s feet.
However, Dudian found that the mucus touched the rock in front of his feet. It quickly dissolved and collapsed into a small pit.
He was secretly shocked. The speed of corrosion was too fast. Even the king’s water of the old era was not so terrifying?
Previously the corrosive liquid spat out by the desolate worm could only slightly corrode rocks. Dudian didn’t care much about it but this desolate worm was different. Dudian recognized its appearance and rushed up to cut it down.
Dudian cut it into three parts. He picked the middle part and threw it back to Amelia: “Eat it later.”
Amelia looked at the arm-thick part of the worm. Her face turned green. She had swallowed the white blade desolate worm which was suffocated to death. She didn’t expect to eat such a big one now.
Dudian continued to move forward.
The worms emerged from the cave one after another and swam towards Dudian.
Dudian quickly cleared the path. He noticed that almost all of the worms were rushing towards Amelia. Although Amelia had been standing behind him but the worms didn’t have eyes, they were aiming at the direction of Amelia.
It seemed that Amelia and her clansmen were able to eat the insects to become stronger. The insects were also interested in their meat quality.
Dudian walked along the winding cave. He suddenly stopped. He saw that the inner wall of the cave had suddenly expanded. It could accommodate five or six people at the same time, there was a thick dark worm coiled around it.
Dudian’s eyes focused. This was the biggest worm he had seen so far. There was no record of such a big worm in the books given by the god.
The worm seemed to be sleeping. When Dudian saw it, it seemed to have smelled something. Its body slowly moved. It raised one end of its body and looked in the direction of dudian.
“Why didn’t it leave?”Amelia’s heart jumped when she saw Dudian stop.
