On the boundless sandy wasteland, several people were bent over, crawling on the sand, digging at something.
"Captain, your lure is amazing! These sandworms are like idiots, they won't run away at all!"
Huang Changming was so excited that his face turned red. He was sweating profusely but he couldn't bear to get up and rest. He hugged the specially made small jar and lay on the sand frantically picking up insects!
Fang Qingdai sighed inwardly. The attraction of the spatial water was indeed powerful. After sprinkling a few drops, the extremely vigilant sandworms seemed to be drunk and rushed out one after another.
After approaching the baiting spot, the team members were initially cautious, afraid of startling the sandworms and scaring them away.
You should know that in the past, catching sandworms involved a combination of ambushes, encirclements, and traps, and it would take half a day to catch just a few.
Who would have thought that using the indigo styrax as a lure, the sandworms would act as if they had been given a sluggish buff, and would not even flinch when people approached them!
All the team members were having a blast collecting sandworms. Xiao Mao was frantically picking up sandworms while muttering, "Sandworms can be sold for one point each at the market. Everyone, pick up as many as you can. I'll be in charge of selling the rest, except for those for completing tasks!"
The task of collecting 100 sandworms requires live sandworms, so the task points are high, with 500 points awarded.
I originally thought it would take a lot of effort, but now it seems it won't take much time at all.
Fang Qingdai was a little disappointed, because this would not help the team to work together at all.
But this harvest of over a thousand sandworms, plus the ability to sell them for points after completing the task, was quite a lucrative harvest.
All the team members were happily collecting sandworms. Even Qingluan was carefully pinching the soft, squishy worms. The little girl didn't back down at all because of the sandworms' disgusting appearance.
Fang Qingdai was more pretentious, mainly because the sand worms were really unsightly.
The worm, as long as a palm, has layers of soft skin stacked up like a silkworm pupa, but the skin is even softer. When it wriggles, the skin stretches open, and you can even see the white mucus under its skin.
You can imagine how disgusting it would be if you accidentally squeezed one open and the white sap burst out!
Especially when there is water to lure them in, the sandworms huddle together and wriggle, their tiny black heads crowding together, a sight that sends chills down your spine!
So Fang Qingdai took out two long sticks from her spatial storage and used them as chopsticks, picking the strips one by one into the jar.
Just as she was getting into the swing of things, Fang Qingdai suddenly felt a slight tremor under her feet.
She stopped moving, looked up abruptly, and saw that Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba's expressions had changed drastically!
Fang Qingdai, who had initially doubted it was her imagination, immediately sounded the alarm. She rushed towards Qingluan and shouted, "Come closer to me!"
Upon hearing the command, Xiao Mao and Qing Luan immediately ran towards Fang Qingdai without any hesitation. Xuan Ba hesitated slightly, but was also grabbed by Xuan Liu and ran towards Fang Qingdai!
Huang Changming was the furthest away. He hesitated for a moment, and just as he made his decision and took a step toward Fang Qingdai, a thick black shadow shot into the sky from the originally calm sand!
The shadowy figure just happened to cut off his route with Fang Qingdai and the others!
Fang Qingdai caught a glimpse of the enormous, fat sand worm that was at least three people could hug and tens of meters long, and her hair almost stood on end!
Suppressing her nausea, Fang Qingdai grabbed Qingluan and shouted, "Grab my clothes!"
Xiao Mao was the first to react as always. He didn't hesitate at all when he heard Fang Qingdai's command and immediately grabbed her sleeve.
Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba followed closely behind. Then, everyone felt a dizziness. When the dizziness subsided, they found themselves in a pitch-black space!
The darkness was unsettling. Xuanba, panting heavily, asked urgently, "Captain, where are we?"
"Space! It must be in my sister's space!" Xiao Mao exclaimed excitedly, but quickly realized, "Where's Huang Changming? Didn't he come in?"
Fang Qingdai's face turned pale, and she immediately extended her consciousness out of the space to check!
After the giant sandworm king burst out of the sand, it rolled over and crushed and exploded a large number of small sandworms. With its movements, Fang Qingdai could even hear the "crackling" sound of the sandworms exploding!
The sound was both crisp and disgusting. The key point was that the yellow sand was covered with a thick white slurry in a moment, and the yellow and white mixture looked even more disgusting!
Fang Qingdai endured her discomfort and searched everywhere for Huang Changming's whereabouts. When she finally saw him, her expression suddenly changed drastically!
The giant sandworm king darted around several luring points where spatial water had been sprinkled. Its black, hard head arched towards the luring point, and its mouth, covered with suckers, instantly swallowed large swaths of sand that still contained spatial water!
Even the small sand worms that were still entrenched at the luring point were swallowed up by the giant sand worm king!
Huang Changming was currently near the closest luring point to the Sandworm King!
After the giant sandworm king broke out of the ground, its movements made the surrounding sand very soft, causing it to flow and collapse wildly.
Huang Changming was stuck in a sand pit and was struggling frantically, but he could not get out and was sinking deeper and deeper!
As the giant sand worms rushed toward the luring point where Huang Changming was, Fang Qingdai immediately used her consciousness to fetch a cup of spatial water and rushed toward the outside of the space!
Water in spaces untouched by pollution appears to be purer, naturally doubling its appeal!
The fat and burly sandworm king paused, then turned around wildly and pounced in the direction where the spatial water had been splashed!
Fang Qingdai took the opportunity to manipulate the space and head towards Huang Changming's direction.
"Hold on tight!" Fang Qingdai stretched out a hand from the space and grabbed Huang Changming just as he was about to be swallowed by the sea of sand!
He intended to pull the person directly into the space, but found that the sand dune's suction was too strong, and Fang Qingdai couldn't pull her away!
She gritted her teeth and shouted, "You guys lend a hand!"
The team members looked bewildered in the darkness; the space isolated by the barrier was absolutely dark.
It was pitch black; they hadn't dared to move an inch since they came in, waiting for Fang Qingdai's order.
They've received their orders, but they can't find Fang Qingdai's direction!
The group groped their way toward Fang Qingdai, following the direction of the sound, but they were only delayed for a short while before Huang Changming was swallowed up by the sand dunes!
Now only half of his head and half of his arm are outside, and his mouth and nose have been buried by sand!
Fang Qingdai felt the powerful suction was about to tear her arm off, and she was extremely anxious!
At the critical moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness!
A faint light suddenly appeared, and everyone turned to look, only to find that Qingluan had turned on the castrated version of the bracelet she had just acquired that day!
With the help of the dim light, everyone finally saw Fang Qingdai's direction!
Several people immediately rushed over and helped to grab Huang Changming!
With the combined strength of several people, they were finally able to fight against the sand dune, and Huang Changming, who was almost suffocating, finally managed to peek his head out again!
He gasped for breath in terror, but the next second, he was faced with the giant sandworm king charging at lightning speed!
