Drill Worms.

That's their name.

According to the book, the Drillers have been scattered all over the world, and their populations have flourished for a long time, with adult Drillers living up to 1,000 years, and they will carefully protect their fragile cubs until they reach adulthood.

They don't need to breathe, their bodies are always covered in slime, they resemble giant squids, their tentacles all grow on the front of their bodies, which is good for digging and hunting, and the adult burrower worms can cause strong earthquakes, tolerate extremely high temperatures, and can roam the lava at will.

Perhaps in order to facilitate communication, the Drill Demon Worm also has the ability of telepathy, and can connect a spiritual network with nearby companions to exchange information at any time. Mel is able to sense the minds of all races, and is able to make contact with them wherever they are.

The Driller is large and sturdy, and an earthquake attack can destroy everything on the surface, but even such a powerful creature has its own weaknesses.

They are very afraid of water, and soaking in water can dissolve the slime covering their bodies, which will lead to the death of the Driller.

Another of their weaknesses is the cubs, the adult Drill Worm is extremely strong and has no natural predators, but it comes at a price.

In order to gain strong strength, their cubs need to go through six different periods to complete the physical changes and accept strong power, which directly causes their cubs to be extremely vulnerable, and the temperature of more than forty degrees Celsius is enough to kill the larvae, and ordinary people can crush the larvae to death at will with a little force.

Drillers need to constantly migrate and change habitats, so fragile larvae are obviously not suitable for survival in harsh underground, so in order to avoid the worst, the hatchlings of the drillers will parasitize in the dreams of other creatures to obtain the most stable growth environment, they maintain their own development by devouring the energy in the dream, this stage usually lasts for several months, and when the larvae grow into the size of an earthworm, they will collectively form a cocoon and pupate, waiting to enter the second instar.

The second instar of the Driller worm has grown wings, has the ability to migrate, and the survival rate will be greatly improved, at this time the larvae will lay eggs again, and then in order to find the powerful same kind in the ground, seek their protection, they will shed their wings, and at the same time change into heavy armor, enter the third instar, and live on the shallow ground for a period of time.

When they mature again, they will grow in size again, as the surface can no longer cover their size, so the larvae will shed their armor that is not conducive to digging and grow tentacles on the front of their bodies, while their bodies will be covered with a layer of slime that will be used to obtain basic energy from the dirt and go deeper into the ground. At this time, they are already in their fourth age.

They live comfortably underground for a period of time until they are fully developed telepathic, which is the fifth age.

At this stage, no creature can stop them, and the larvae will find their companions through telepathic abilities and join the group until they reach the sixth age, which is the adult stage.

According to the book, billions of years ago, the Drill Demon Worm and their supreme leader Xiude. Mel was once used by the Old Gods in a name called Ge. Harlan's mysterious city, but then they waited for the ripe time, and under the leadership of the Great Leader, they successfully broke free from the seal and regained their power in an attempt to become great again.

However, unfortunately, they did not catch up with the good time, as soon as they came out, they happened to encounter the surface of the earth is experiencing fierce turmoil, all kinds of gods and demons are dancing, and even the stars are disintegrating and falling from the sky, in this context, the insect swarm that has just broken free from the seal and has not fully recovered its full state was almost wiped out, and was finally sealed again in a certain seabed in the south of the dream realm, legend has it that the great magician Ebon built a tower of Serac by the sea, and lived there, responsible for suppressing the earth demon worms.

Regarding this period of history, the record in the book is relatively vague, and it does not specify the specific time of occurrence, nor does it say who sealed the Drill Demon Worm, as if the author is deliberately avoiding a certain name and does not want to mention it.

But just from these short descriptions, Xia Ren can also imagine what a shocking picture it was.

At the same time, he also realized that if everything recorded in the book was true, then the world he was in at the moment was the legendary dream realm, and this spire-shaped building was the tower of Serrac.

Because when they entered the study, they clearly saw that the door number read "Eibon Eibon", which was obviously the name of the great magician.

and the corpses of the worms he found just when he came to the beach, indicating that the sealing site was in this sea area.

Before you know it, the book has turned to the last page, where a circular pattern is depicted, and according to the description of the text below, believe in the Earth Demon Worms and agree to help them become great again, and you will be able to attain the cultivation of virtue. Mel's favor is able to use the spiritual power of the demon insects.

"No wonder Yue Dan immediately ran to the laboratory to destroy the evidence as soon as she saw me, she may have obtained some of the power of the demon insects and can see what is special about me."

Xia Ren closed the book and unexpectedly found that a pool of blood had gathered on the tip of his toe.

The blood was dripping from his jaw, and he had just indulged in the contents of the book, and he didn't even notice it.

Reaching out and touching his cheek, he found that his nose and eyes were bleeding outward.

"Brother, brother, are you okay?"

Lily asked, hugging his thighs and looking up.

Xia Ren laughed, raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and said disdainfully: "What can happen if you shed such a little blood?" ”

He carried The Underground Digger into his arms, the main book on the history of the Driller, and the cure for atypical insect phobia may be in it, and he absolutely had to take it back no matter what.

The rest is to look for the hive, with Lily here, maybe you can cultivate virtue with that. Mel touches it, and if it succeeds, it will directly destroy the hive, and there will be no future trouble.

Therefore, the ignorant are fearless.

Maybe it was because he had read too much, Xia Ren didn't know how crazy and dangerous his idea was just now.

But then, the problem arises.

The Earth Drill Worm is afraid of water, probably because of this, they are sealed at the bottom of the sea, and there is endless sea water above them, although the insects can't get out, but Xia Ren can't get in, and it may even be difficult to find the location of the seal.

"What can I do?"

Xia Ren frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lily couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that his front was already soaked in blood.

"Brother......

Xia Ren lowered his head and found that although he was not reading, the blood did not stop there, and it was still flowing.

"It's okay, just leave this little bit of blood, I'm so good"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes went dark, and his body fell straight backwards.
