Walking deep underground, clear footsteps echoed in the tunnel. In front of Loran Hill was a miner and a local alchemist, and behind him were Mira and a knight.
The burning torches occasionally made slight sounds, and their orange-yellow light divided the crowd and the surroundings into distinct blocks of light and shadow.
The gravel in the tunnel made a friction sound as people walked through it, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from a dark corner in the distance.
After descending several hundred meters, they stopped. The passage ahead was blocked by collapsed rocks and soil, and traces of some kind of snake-like creature still remained around it.
After checking it out, several locals said, "This must be the work of the rock-drilling worms again. Sigh."
"Although there aren't many of these special monsters, once they appear, they can bring all kinds of destruction."
Mira asked, looking at the scattered stones and piles of earth.
"How long will it take for the passage here to be reopened?"
"With the help of extraordinary people, it will take at least a day and a night to recover. The main thing is to rebuild the structure to prevent further collapse, so that the obstacles can be cleared step by step." The alchemist explained. He looked to be in his 40s, but the strength was only Magic Sequence 3.
"Let me help too." Loran Hill said, and then walked forward under the gaze of everyone.
She first stretched out her hand and closed her eyes slightly. Some tiny light particles appeared around her. These light particles carried a weak airflow, which lifted her dress and hair slightly, and then flowed into the rocks and soil piled up in front of her.
Then, a slight vibration came from the rocks in front, and then dazzling light burst out from the cracks in the rocks.
After entering the rock and soil, the light particles continued to move, breaking the solid soil into fine particles. Then, they moved forward, clearing the large pile of debris into the passage ahead. A white light shield also appeared on the top of the collapsed area, like a solid crystal, supporting the soil above.
"It needs to be reinforced to make this place stable."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The alchemist nodded, then picked up his staff and cast a spell on the soil above. Under the spell, the structure of the soil was transformed, gradually becoming solid, and finally solidified into a concrete-like structure, fixing the passage.
After the passage stabilized, Loran Hill used a breeze to blow away the dust, and the few people continued to go down.
The few of them walked through several puddles of water, turned several forks in the road, and continued to move forward downwards. However, this time it was Loran Hill who was guiding the direction because she sensed that there was a problem in a certain direction.
In this way, they continued to bend and move downwards. After about half an hour of moving forward, a sound of running and crashing came from a distance, and several people quickened their pace.
"No, help." A miner ran upwards anxiously. He was gasping for breath and had little strength left, while a huge red tentacle was following him from behind.
Fortunately, the tentacle was not fast, so the miner was not caught.
Considering that this is underground and too much destruction will cause collapse, Loran Hill did not use the demon sequence job, but instead used the angel sequence job to fight.
Four long swords made of light emerged from the ground, surrounded by light particles as fine as water, and then shot out, nailing the tentacle to the stone wall.
The silvery-white magical light spread along the tentacles, gradually losing their power and becoming quiet. However, Luo Lanxier did not take it lightly and spoke.
"You can take this miner back with you, and Mira can stay here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The knight responded first, then pulled the slightly curious alchemist back, while the previous guide supported the miner. They slowly retreated and then walked quickly.
Mira asked after the others left.
"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"Well, a little." Loran Hill looked at the panel displayed on the system, thoughtfully.
Race: Crimson Worm
Status: Hungry (foraging)
Sequence: Dragon Sequence 4: Twisted Worm (Overall Rating: Excellent Silver)
talent:
[Mutation]: A creature with chaotic and distorted genes, occasionally developing various abilities and talents, but they are unstable and often in danger of collapse.
[Devour] (Excellent): Can devour most organic matter, without being picky about food, to restore strength and a small amount of magic power.
ability:
[Regeneration] (Excellent): Losing a part of your body will not cause you to die easily, but will slowly recover.
[Rock Piercing] (Excellent): Can soften rock structures and then break through them to pass through, but it consumes a lot of magic power.
[Toughness] (Excellent): The soft body has a certain toughness and is not easily damaged.
Skills: [Alternative Perception] (Rare): Has special perception of creatures with large soul fluctuations.
What a strange thing. Luo Lanxier thought so. It seemed that such a creature was not naturally produced. She had this feeling vaguely.
"Let's keep going."
Mira walked in front holding a torch, and as she illuminated the way, the body of the crimson worm gradually became complete.
It resembled a giant earthworm, all red, about a meter in diameter and over 50 meters long. It seemed to have no eyes and no intelligence. Now, the giant worm was pinned to the wall by a lightsaber, unable to move.
Generally speaking, extraordinary creatures have a certain level of intelligence, otherwise they would not be able to condense a very high level of extraordinary core based on instinct alone. This is also what makes Luo Lanxier feel strange.
The only change was that when the two people walked in, it seemed to sense something was wrong and wanted to escape.
