After resting briefly in the desert, Su Yao and Ling Yu prepared to leave. However, just as they stood up, the desert ground began to shake violently, as if something enormous was awakening underground.
"This is bad, there might be other unforeseen events," Su Yao said warily. Before she finished speaking, huge cracks appeared in the desert, billowing up clouds of sand. Then, a sand worm as large as a mountain slowly emerged. The worm's body was covered in a hard exoskeleton, each segment adorned with patterns that shimmered with a mysterious light. Its head possessed enormous mouthparts, surrounded by countless tiny tentacles that lashed out like whips, exuding a dangerous aura.
"This thing is huge, it looks tough to deal with." Ling Yu frowned and quickly prepared for battle. The sand worm spotted them, let out a deafening roar, and charged towards them. Ling Yu immediately used his ice-type ability to create massive ice walls in the sand worm's path. But the sand worm was unstoppable; it smashed through the ice walls, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.
Su Yao activated her spatial ability, teleporting the surrounding sand to the sand worm's eyes in an attempt to disrupt its vision. The sand worm paused briefly, then frantically shook its head, flinging the sand away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yu conjured countless ice blades and shot them towards the sand worm's tentacles. The ice blades severed parts of the tentacles, and the sand worm, in pain, lunged at them even more furiously.
"Its shell is too hard; we need to find its weakness," Su Yao shouted to Ling Yu while dodging the sandworm's attacks. She quickly scanned the sandworm's body using the system, looking for a possible opening. The system indicated that the glowing patterns on the sandworm's body might be the source of its power; if they could destroy these patterns, they might be able to weaken its strength.
So, Su Yao and Ling Yu changed their strategy, starting to look for opportunities to attack the sand worm's markings. The sand worm relentlessly attacked them with its mouthparts and tentacles, and they weaved through the gaps in its attacks. Ling Yu seized the opportunity, using his ice-type ability to create a giant ice axe, and slashed at a marking on the sand worm's body. The ice axe struck the marking, sending sparks flying, but only leaving a shallow mark.
"Attack together!" Su Yao shouted. She used her spatial abilities to teleport Ling Yu to the other side of the sandworm's body, and the two simultaneously launched their strongest attacks at the same pattern. Su Yao compressed her spatial power to its limit, forming a sharp spatial cone, while Ling Yu gathered all his remaining ice energy into an ice spear. Their attacks struck the pattern at the same time, producing a loud bang. The pattern showed obvious damage, and the sandworm let out a painful roar, its movements becoming sluggish.
They repeated their attack, continuing to attack the patterns on other parts of the sandworm's body. Under their assault, the patterns on the sandworm's body were increasingly destroyed, and its power gradually weakened. But the sandworm also began to struggle frantically, burrowing its body into the ground and then suddenly emerging from beneath Su Yao and Ling Yu's feet, attempting to trap them.
Su Yao activated her spatial teleportation ability in time, escaping danger with Ling Yu. The sandworm was already badly wounded, but it still possessed considerable attack power. They knew they had to deliver the fatal blow. After dodging another attack from the sandworm, Su Yao noticed a darker-colored marking on its abdomen, likely its vital point.
"Attack its abdomen!" Su Yao said to Ling Yu. They charged at the sand worm again, which opened its massive jaws, ready to swallow them whole. Just then, Ling Yu created a large number of ice spikes, shooting them at the sand worm's mouthparts and temporarily halting its attack. Su Yao then used her spatial abilities to teleport herself and Ling Yu above the sand worm's abdomen. Together, they gathered all their energy and launched a final attack on the patterns on the sand worm's abdomen.
This time, the powerful energy impact completely destroyed the patterns on the sandworm's abdomen. The sandworm let out a miserable cry, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a huge cloud of sand. With the death of the sandworm, the desert gradually returned to calm. Su Yao and Ling Yu, exhausted, collapsed in the desert. They knew that in this revived world, many more unknown challenges awaited them.
