285 Unexpected Harvest

The Sandworm’s huge mouth spewed out the gravel. The creature swallowed boulders into its mouth, crunched on them, and expelled the remnants through two holes.

The Lords who were reluctant to leave the valley watched in shock as the Light Earth-boring Worm Cavalry climbed out of the holes in a rush.

Before the Lords could think, they saw the hideous creature climb out of the hole too. The huge mouth opened like a flower in bloom. The numerous teeth that opened in a spiral made them cower back in fear.

The creature swallowed the Light Earth-boring Worm Cavalry whole. After that, the cavalry was spat out on the ground.

The ground shattered. The dust and rocks flew everywhere. A few Lords who were close were crushed by the falling boulders.

The creature squirmed for a while and then disappeared underground again. When the Lords got a hold of themselves, they saw the giant hole in the ground that was left behind by the creature as it burrowed down.

Everyone was shaken by the scenes. “What the hell is that thing?”

If multiple creatures burrowed out of the ground, they could devour everything in sight. The Lords were terrified. They no longer thought about hunting Su Wan. It was the last thing on their minds. They wanted to survive!

The Light-Types watched in a daze as the creatures disappeared underground. They were too stunned to say anything.

Their despair was unimaginable. They wondered if God had abandoned them.

Su Wan, along with Lin Yao, waited for the Sandworms to cease their movements. She then flew deeper. She was curious to see where these creatures lived.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she kept going deeper. Finally, She and Lin Yao came upon an open underground space.

Their eyes lit up with the thrill of discovery. They waited for a while. When they sensed no danger, they dug through the gravel.

Su activated her inner perception. The space was huge.

What caught their attention was the outermost area. Dozens of giant tunnels connected the deeper parts of the earth to the surface.

The space smelled fishy. Su Wan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to understand more about this underground space they had discovered.

At least ten wormlets were sleeping in the space. Each of them was 10 meters long.

Su Wan looked around. ‘Is this the creature’s nest?’

The creature hadn’t returned, so that gave them some time to explore. Su Wan wondered if she would find anything worthwhile in this area.

Su Wan’s camouflage was still active. She and Lin Yao blended with the background. She wasn’t afraid of being discovered.

Su Wan examined the nest closely. The nest itself was unguarded and empty, except for the wormlets that dug deep and slept without worry.

Although the wormlets were big enough to pose a threat, Su Wan doubted they could fight. She walked closer to the sleeping wormlets. Their bodies were smooth and long, allowing them the flexibility of slithering through sand and tunnels. They had no eyes on their head, only a mouth.

The teeth were just starting to bud. They were arranged in a spiral that went deeper into their bodies. There were two holes behind the mouth. This was for spewing out soil and sand to line the tunnels as they moved through them.

Their bodies were created so that they could burrow through the earth.

[Sandworm Wormlets]

[Level: Level 1]

[Status: Larva Stage]

[Note: When the body reaches 30 meters, it will enter the growth stage. When it reaches 80 meters, it will enter adulthood. When it reaches 100 meters, it will be a full-fledged adult.]

Perhaps because they were still wormlets, their “Abilities” section was blank.

When one of the wormlets turned around and touched a rock, its mouth expanded, and the teeth snapped down on the rock. The teeth ground the rock to dust. Its bulging mouth shrank back to its normal size. The wormlet squirmed. The hole behind the mouth spewed out gravel after a while.

Su Wan also squirmed internally. These creatures would grow up to be dangerous. However, they could be very useful as a troop. If only she could raise some of them, it would be very beneficial.

In the future, any enemy who attacked from the land would have to brave these creatures. Besides, her territory had many underground spaces which could prove to be a suitable habitat for such creatures. She wanted to recruit these creatures.

Without disturbing the wormlets, she and Lin Yao explored the underground space. There was another huge tunnel behind the area where the wormlets slept. It was filled with sticky fluid.

‘Is that an incubation area for the creatures?’ wondered Su Wan.

Su Wan flew to the area to examine it. She sensed something.

She expanded her inner perception to gauge the area. The huge space was filled with sand. On the sand, some eggs hadn’t yet hatched. There were probably several thousand eggs in there.

‘This is a great harvest!’ Su Wan rejoiced.

Su Wan’s smile froze on her face. She couldn’t sense any sign of life on most of the eggs. Some of the eggshells were cracked.

The eggs must have hatched many years ago. These were just remnants of the eggs that had already hatched.

Su Wan felt a little disappointed. She could have built a massive Sandworm army with these eggs.

She sighed. ‘What a pity!’

Su Wan focused on those eggs that still had a sign of life. She only found 15 of them.

Just then, two of the eggs cracked and little heads popped out of the shells. The two little wormlets devoured the opening of the egg and left the area.

Su Wan was even more disappointed after losing two more creatures. Now she only had 13 eggs to take home.

She didn’t have Xu Yuan with her, so she wasn’t willing to fight against the creatures even if they were just wormlets. If the wormlets called for their mother, she would be in danger.

She quickly wrapped the 13 other eggs carefully and took them with her. They weren’t easy to carry.
