Chapter 857: Coming Out Of The Cave
Dudian didn’t dare to eat the flesh of the Aragami in the following days in order to avoid stimulating the golden sarcoma in his right shoulder. Without the flesh of the Aragami, Dudian also lost his source of food. Fortunately, he could see that Haisha’s wound would heal in a day or two at most. By then, he would be able to leave the place. If her healing time was longer.., it would take four to five days. He had to consider whether or not he should make an exception and get “Ingredients”from Amelia.
Seeing that the day of the hole was coming, Dudian also began to prepare. He took the sealed jar from Amelia to suffocate the Aragami. He came to the edge of the pool of mercury-silver mucus. He was only two meters away from it, the mucus began to squirm slightly. It seemed to sense the smell of life. The silver mucus that was as thick as a finger protruded from the edge and reached towards Dudian’s feet.
Dudian’s eyes turned serious. The crystal worm was not only different from the other worms in terms of physique but also in terms of ability and vitality, the Crystal Worm would die when its body was cut open. However the crystal worm maintained a terrifying vitality as it melted into the slime. It seemed that as long as it was nourished by fresh blood and flesh it would be able to recover.
Moreover, Dudian had thought of a problem that he had overlooked. The remains of the Aragami were well preserved. What would the Aragami feed on in this bare cave?
This pool of mucus had been here for several days and hadn’t eaten anything. Could it be that it could maintain a long feeding time without moving?
Dudian opened the sealed jar and put it on the ground. He picked up the knife and stabbed it into the silver mucus. It felt like he was stabbing into an unimpeded water. The tip of the knife stabbed into the soil.
Dudian quickly moved but found that the characteristics of the mucus were very similar to that of water. No matter how he cut it, in the blink of an eye it would stick together and still squirm.
No matter how sharp the knife was, it couldn’t cut the soft water.
Dudian saw that he couldn’t hurt it so he simply changed the method and moved it into the jar.
Fortunately, the mucus was soft like water so it was easy for Dudian to move it. Although the process was a bit cumbersome and there was no spoon or other suitable tools, but with a wider knife.., dudian smoothly moved the mucus around the pot. He cut a hole next to the pot and moved the pot in. The mouth of the pot was level with the ground. Then he moved the mucus into the mouth of the pot.
During this process, from time to time, silver tentacles stretched out from the mucus towards Dudian. But Dudian used the knife to hit them down and sank them into the mucus.
Half an hour later, Dudian moved all the silver mucus into the pot. When the last bit was in the pot, Dudian didn’t wait for it to climb out again. He quickly covered the pot and pressed it to death.
When the pot was pressed to death, Dudian clearly felt that the inside of the pot was trembling. The pot gently shook but the force was not strong. The impact lasted for a while and then stopped.
Dudian dug out the jar and put it aside. He didn’t open it to check. He didn’t care if it was dead or alive. If there were conditions, he would like to use it to study. But in his current situation.., it would be good if he could take this thing away from here.
Although the crystal worm was big, but there was not much mucus after melting. It was like it had been concentrated. It was enough to fill the jar with the size of a basketball. It saved a lot of space for Dudian.
Dudian looked at the Aragami embedded in the rock wall. There was something strange in his eyes but he didn’t know what it was. However he was thinking about.., how to take it away.
The Aragami was about ten meters tall. It was impossible to carry it away. Moreover the smell of the Aragami could attract terrifying things from the abyss. It had to be sealed in a bag or a box, just like the few pieces of Sylvia meat that he carried with him.
He came before the Aragami thoughtfully and looked at the left and right sides. He estimated the thickness of this Aragami’s body and calculated silently in his heart. His backpack was three meters tall, two meters thick, and two meters wide, the backpack that was used for hunting outside the giant wall could be considered to be the largest one. If this Aragami was placed into it, it would naturally not be able to fit in. However, he was considering whether he could cut her up and dispose of her into neat pieces of meat, he would then pile it into the backpack.
However, looking at the thickness of the Aragami’s body, especially the size of its lower body, it was still a bit difficult to fit it in his backpack.
After thinking for a while, he decided to keep the intact body of the Aragami for the time being. It was a big headache for him to leave this place.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Haisha’s injuries were finally fully recovered. Dudian didn’t cut off all of the Aragami’s limbs. Instead, he cut off a part of the Aragami’s limbs that looked like spider legs. He put it into his backpack and took Amelia and Haisha with him, he was ready to explore the outside of the cave.
After leaving the depths of the cave, Dudian returned to the passage. He found something strange. There were only small pieces of the giant Aragami’s limbs that he had cut off. The entire passage seemed very empty, when he rushed out of the passage, the limbs of the giant worm were piled up to half a meter high. It was almost impossible to move.
Dudian looked at Amelia and frowned: “What’s Going On?”
Amelia blinked her eyes and innocently said: “How do I Know?”
“You ate it?”Dudian squinted his eyes. He noticed that Amelia’s physique had reached the level of a pioneer. The speed of improvement was like a rocket. He suspected that if she ate it.., she would become an Abyss Walker in this cave!
Amelia rolled her eyes, “Even if I was a pig, I wouldn’t be able to eat so much!”! “When I came to take it, I found that a lot of the worms had disappeared. Every time I came to take it, I saw a large part of them disappear. I guess they have climbed into the passage to hide.”
Dudian frowned slightly. He looked at the depths of the passage. Indeed, he hadn’t seen Amelia leave the cave many times in the past few days. Even if she ate day and night, she wouldn’t be able to eat so many worms, moreover, although she was used to the desolate insects but she wasn’t willing to eat them. Her appetite was limited.
He stepped into the passage and slowly moved forward. He found that the number of desolate insects was decreasing. When he reached the passage which he used to block with coal, he found that the ordinary desolate insects which he had crushed in the passage were gone, the ground was very empty. There were only some gaps and grooves in the rock wall. There were some finger-sized desolate insects which were crawling weakly inside.
Dudian slightly raised his eyebrows. This situation was a bit strange. Could it be that other villagers had come in from behind?
However, there was no trace of other people’s smell.
He pondered for a moment and continued to move forward along the passage.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a large dent on the ground. It was about half a meter wide. It seemed to be caused by something round. He squatted down and touched the Dent. It was sticky and smelled, it was the smell of the mucus on the desolate worm’s body.
A hint of shock flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked into the darkness in front of him along with the Dent.
