"Mole?" Catherine glanced at As, "Lindworm, did you hear any movement?"

"No, master. Linde's huge faucet also put on a special posture of listening, "I didn't hear anything." ”

"No, it won't. Ace sat up and said, "The sound is loud, and I can hear it now when I sit as I sat it." It's getting closer, it's digging into us. ”

"Is there a mole here, Lindworm?" asked Catherine, though she added, "The mole is a creature of the surface world, and usually stalks in the ground. It was about the size of two fists of mine, black and fluffy, with short forelimbs and digging very fast. They usually hide underground, and occasionally dig a hole at night to get to the ground to breathe. ”

"No, dear master. I've been here a few times, and I've never seen the mole you mentioned. Lindworm thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there can be no other creatures under this fire mud. ”

Catherine thought about it and understood. This underground is a territory of silver roots, and if there are really living creatures to burrow into the ground, they don't make those strange carnivorous roots nourishment.

Since there can't be a mole here, could it be that Ace misheard?

"Master, I heard the voice. But then Lindworm said, "Something is coming at us, and it's fast." ”

Catherine looked at As, and thought: Asbillind had already heard this, but there was something mysterious. When did his ear power become so good. Is it because of eating shaman's eyes?

Wrong. Even if the physique is improved, it is only the lowest demon physique. Linde Worm didn't know how much stronger than him, but he didn't hear the sound.

The sound of "clatter, clatter" came from underground, and now Catherine could hear it. That's the sound of digging.

"Roots. Catherine muttered to herself, "That's the only way." ”

Catherine picked up a blood-red tendril, scattered beside her, "This thing really deserves a good look at it, and it's best to find an alchemist." ”

"Ace, you pick up a ball of fire mud. ”

Catherine and Ace climbed onto the head of the Lindworm, wrapping the remaining roots in a large mass of fiery mud.

"You take care of this root mud ball, don't lose it. Catherine finished instructing As, and then said, "Lind worm, watch out for that thing, it's coming out." ”

The Lindworm carefully hung its tail in the air, acting as if it was ready to attack.

"Master, it stands to reason that the only one who can walk underground here is the gardener. Could it be the gardener?"

"That's up to you. Catherine said without thinking, "You know the gardener better than we do, do you think it's him?"

"I don't think so, the gardener's duty among the guardians is actually the simplest, which is to plow the land, and it seems that he doesn't care about anything else. But when I listen to this voice, it is a bit like him. Lind replied with a wry mind, "Once the Great Being summoned us four Guardians. When the gardener arrived, there was a similar noise from the ground, but it was much louder. ”

"What are the responsibilities of the four of you, Guardians?" Catherine heard something else, "Lindeworm, you're not honest enough. I haven't said what I should have said, do you think that if I don't ask, you can stop saying it if you don't say it?"

"Dear master, you have wronged me again. Linde pretended to be pitiful, "I don't know what you want to know, there are many things I dare not talk about, for fear of annoying you." ”

"I and the two heavenly ones are responsible for selecting food for that being. After pretending to be pitiful, Linde immediately replied honestly, "Of course, we also have some other divisions, such as I am also responsible for arresting people who inadvertently enter the prison place. ”

"Like we, aren't we?" said Ass in an unkind tone, "no wonder you ate us in your mouth when Catherine and I jumped." ”

"The duty lies. Linde Worm simply admitted, "As for the two ——, in the sky, they have come out!"

Linde Worm was about to say more when a large puff of dirt suddenly erupted from the ground. At first glance, it really looks like a fountain. However, the "fountain" lasted only two seconds before it died down. There is only one cave left, which is not big or small, and it is about half a circle thicker than As's waist.

Catherine sat on Lindebug's head and looked condescendingly. The cave could not be seen to the end, and the sound of "clacking" continued to be heard from inside, and it was getting louder and louder.

For some reason, the Linde worm actually trembled, and it involuntarily stepped back, a little bit away from the cave.

"It's coming, it's coming. "It's terrible, he's coming." Master, let's run away. He's coming!"

"yes. Catherine, why don't we stay out of the way. Unexpectedly, Ace was also persuaded by the side, and his voice sounded clearly trembling.

"Huh?" Catherine realized something was wrong, and she closed her eyes to feel something strange in the air.

"Stop! Catherine snapped open her eyes and shouted, "Useless fellow, turn around and go back to the edge of the cave." ”

The frightened Linde worm had already turned around and was about to escape. Now I had to go back. However, Linde Worm deliberately walked very slowly, twisting and twisting forward. Finally Catherine seemed to be lenient and did not force it to speed up.

The Linde worm was only halfway through when a palm popped out of the cave. This scene is too similar to the appearance of the gardener, and even the shape and color of the palm are the same as the gardener's. It's just that this palm is a super miniature version, and it also looks slightly fat (more meat).

As soon as the palm appeared, the Linde worm immediately stopped walking. It coiled its body in a ball, and its whole body was constantly shaking.

Catherine stared at her palm and opened her mouth wide, then looked at her own hand to make sure that it was not much larger than her own, and couldn't help but laugh. But she turned her head again and looked at Ace, who was huddled behind her back and clung to her.

"Alas!" the female mage sighed helplessly.

"Put away your talents, Marshal, this is not a battlefield. Catherine said unhurriedly to the palm.

As soon as Catherine's voice fell, the palm of her hand jumped out of the hole with a "pop". It flipped exaggeratedly in mid-air, and then landed on the ground in a very dashing manner.

The palm of the hand stood on the ground with the middle two fingers, the palm of the palm facing the direction of Catherine, and the outer two fingers touching the back of the hand, which looked like a back hand, and then swayed and walked over.

"Little bug, so many years have passed. Why are you still so cowardly? What a waste of your good body, I think I might as well let me eat your soul and give me this body. The palm of his hand stood in front of the Linde worm, which was dozens of times taller than it, and he raised a finger, and his tone was extremely arrogant.

In fact, it is very quiet, like a buzzing bug. Catherine leaned down to look, only to notice that there was a small mouth on the finger that had been raised from the palm of her hand, from which the sound came from.

Linde was still trembling, and his palms leaned back slightly, as if he was looking up to the sky and smiling. Catherine rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, feeling that this old friend had not only changed his appearance, but also his personality had become a bit of a headache.

Who knew that at this moment, the palm of the smiling hand fell to the ground with a "pop", and there was a "whoosh" sound in the air.

Catherine secretly screamed badly, and sure enough, there was a slender whip stuck in the palm of her hand. The source of the whip came from the body of the Linde worm.

I really didn't expect that the Linde worm, who was so frightened that he only dared to tremble, would suddenly attack and nail his palm to the ground in one fell swoop. The speed of the blow was even faster than the sound. So much so that even Catherine couldn't find out in advance, so it can be seen that Linde Worm is doing his best.
