Chapter 505: The Soul of the Sand Earthworm
The Ultramarines and Minotaurs were still a little dazed, but as soon as they heard the word sandworm, they were immediately frightened, and they struck the Kodomon hard to urge them to run.
Dejiko was also shocked, stopped cutting halfway, and looked at the team anxiously.
They were still more than 400 meters away from this side, and they were already running desperately, but in the distance, the underground sandworms seemed to sense that the target was fleeing, so they stopped hiding their movements and accelerated the pursuit.
The ground shook violently, like an earthquake.
Miles away, smoke and dust billowed out, and countless yellow sand was lifted into the sky, as if a sandstorm was blowing.
There are terrifying huge figures swimming in the dust, where they pass, the desert collapses, the hills are leveled, their number is unknown, the range of the sandstorm is not endless, the front, the left, and the right, almost forming a surrounding trend, only the direction of the ruins is smaller.
Looking back at the ruins, I saw that there were also sandstorms rolling up, but at a greater distance.
Dejiko gasped, but saw Wren raise his left hand, and there were blue runes flashing on the back of his hand, as if he was casting a spell, and his face was unusually calm.
"Your Lord!"
"Don't worry, we can get out and you continue to harvest the material. Wren immediately thought of a way to escape, calculating the speed of the Kodomon and the Sandworms, who were able to escape to the ruins before they were overtaken, and enter the Ethereal Gate in time.
Even in the worst-case scenario, you can abandon Kodomon and summon a fiery dragon to fly away.
Seeing that Wren was so calm, Dejiko no longer hesitated, bent down and continued to cut the corpse material of the scarab, not caring about the fear of breaking the song of the blue sky, and his movements sped up several times.
Time ticks.
The ground shook more and more, and the sandstorm tens of meters high was like a giant wall, crushing and surrounding from three directions, making people have nowhere to escape.
If you let the Ultramarines and Minotaurs run on their own, they can run more than 400 meters in less than half a minute, but Kodomon can't. The Kodomon mount is better in terms of endurance, heavy load, mediocre speed, and lack of explosiveness, and it can only speed up by two or three percent when it runs.
With each passing second, the sandworms get closer to the Kodo team, a race against time.
Wren lifted his feet off the ground and hung half a meter in the air.
He cast spells silently, and his palms were as steady as a mountain, unaffected by the enemy's approach.
Finally, a minute later, the spell was cast, and a large portal made of crystal opened in front of him, in the shape of a semicircular arch, with a width and height of more than ten meters, and it was possible to see that the opposite side was also a dry and hot desert.
When Dejiko saw this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally understood why Wren was so calm.
Seconds later, the Ultramarines and Minotaurs returned.
Without hesitation, the Ultramarines rode the Kodomon into the Ethereal Gate, and the Minotaur hurriedly followed. At this time, the sandstorm has approached less than 100 meters, the sky has been blocked, as far as the eye can see, the ground seems to be flipped over, and the figure of the sandworm can already be seen.
A huge head with a diameter of seven or eight meters poked out of the dust.
Its surface is covered with gray cuticles, and only a body more than 30 meters long can be seen, like a worm magnified countless times, and the longer body is hidden in the sand, unable to be seen, guessing that it is at least 100 meters long! There are more sandworms around it, although they are not so big, but there are not a few that are more than 10 meters long, and it is impossible to count how many there are.
Wren glanced at it with the eye of his soul, and his heart was slightly shocked.
The legendary high-level sandworm has not yet reached the Holy Rank, but it is infinitely close to only a thin line, and with such a huge size, even a Saint-level wizard is very tricky to deal with.
By the standards of a praying mantis, this can be regarded as a sand earthworm!
At this time, its head was raised, and five petals opened like a flower in full bloom, revealing a mouth full of teeth.
The dense teeth are neatly arranged in circles, at least a dozen circles, and each tooth is more than a meter and a half long, and it is shiny like crystal, sharp and hard, and if it swallows it, it makes people shudder to think about it.
The sand earthworm opened its abyss-like jaw, took a sharp breath, and countless sand and dust rolled into it, and its body swelled up with its head down, as if it was about to spit out something.
Whatever you spray, it's never a good thing.
At this time, the Ultramarines had all rushed into the Ethereal Gate, and more than a dozen minotaurs were left behind, and Kojiko had just cut the materials and threw them into the portal.
"Be careful!"
Dejiko stretched out the shield of light, trying to fend off the incoming spit.
Wren shot one step earlier than him, turned on the battle music, and at the same time forcibly stimulated the bloody rage again, ignoring the blessing of the dragon power technique, he directly took out the hammer of Thor, shouted, his body collapsed like a giant bow, and threw it with all his strength.
Bang!
The warhammer is like lightning, so fast that you can't even catch it.
In an instant, Thor's hammer traveled through the void and appeared in front of the sand worm as if it flashed. It has no eyes, but its perception is extremely acute, and it senses great danger, but it has no time to react.
There was a loud bang.
Thor's hammer shoots into the sandworm's mouth.
At the moment of impact, Wren's mind controlled the weight of the warhammer to more than 100,000 pounds, and the hammer of Thor, which was only more than a meter long, looked very small compared to the sand earthworm, but it caused huge damage. With a single breath, the warhammer pierced the abyssal jaw of the sand earthworm and flew out from the other side.
Pale yellow acid splattered all over the sky, and the warhammer penetrated through the place, leaving a hole more than a meter in diameter.
At the same time, countless arm-thick golden lightning bolts erupted in its mouth.
Because it was not the "Thunderball" that Wren played with a war hammer, the power of lightning failed to reach its peak, and it was only equivalent to a five-ring spell.
Even so, the magic resistance in the mouth of the sand earthworm was far less than what it seemed, and it was immediately seriously injured.
"Hiss......"
It let out a strange roar that no one could understand, but it could be heard that it was in excruciating pain, and its head slammed into the ground, and with a thud, the whole ruin shook for a moment.
One blow, but Wren didn't love to fight.
The earthworm's vitality is extremely tenacious, and its resilience is even more amazing, and this injury cannot kill it. The rest of the sandworms have already surrounded them.
He immediately controlled Thor's hammer to cut an arc trajectory in mid-air, turning around and flying back.
By this time, the last minotaur had already ridden Kodomon into the Ethereal Gate, and Dejiko had removed the shield of light and ran in, Wren following closely behind.
Thor's hammer flies inverted much slower than when thrown, after all, there is no power blessing.
Sensing that his target was about to flee, the earthworm fell to the ground in pain, and despite his injuries, he twisted his body frantically and got up, chased the flying war hammer, and pounced on the Ethereal Gate.
Wren quickly retreated into the Ethereal Gate.
A few seconds later, Thor's hammer flew in front of him and was firmly caught by him.
"My lord, close the portal!" Dejiko shouted anxiously.
But Wren turned a deaf ear and stared at the approaching sand earthworm, his eyes flickering.
The wounded giant monster seemed to have lost its mind, or rather, it didn't have too much intelligence in the first place. The Ethereal Gate was just the size of its head to pass through, and with a boundless cloud of sand, it plunged headlong into the Ethereal Gate, an abyss-like jaw that bit into Wren who was close at hand.
Smack!
The hideous and terrifying mouthparts bite, but they bite in the air.
Wren flashed to the side at the last moment, and with a fierce wave of his left hand, he closed the door of the ethereal.
The spatial passage opened by the spell closed, interrupting the connection between the two places, and the huge body of the sand earthworm was in two spaces, separated by hundreds of miles. As if being slashed by the sharpest blade in the world, its body instantly became cut in two, the incision was as smooth as a mirror, and the surging acid blood flowed out.
The part of the sand earthworm that passed through the Ethereal Gate was only about fifteen meters long, including its head, and it was directly decapitated.
More bodies remained on the other side of the rubble.
Despite this, this small section of its body did not die immediately, and it rolled and struggled wildly, spewing puffs of foul-smelling acid to attack nearby enemies.
"Stay away from it!" Wren reminded.
The Ultramarines and Minotaurs had long since retreated far away, and Dejiko did not dare to stay close for a long time.
Wren flew into the air on his own, protecting a safe distance.
The Soul Eye saw that the soul of the sand earthworm had been severely damaged, and it was already in a state of near death, and it had the supernatural element "limb regeneration", but it could not be reborn out of thin air without losing more than three-quarters of its body.
It's just a flashback from the moment of death, and the harder you struggle, the faster you die.
Wren kept an eye out for half of the earthworm as he checked the surrounding desert.
When he opened the Void Spirit Gate, he didn't teleport in any direction, but chose a place he passed through yesterday, and the distance was only a hundred miles, which was enough to get rid of the sandworms.
No anomalies were heard in the sound of all things, and it was certain that no sandworms would be attracted to it.
"Boss, do you want to shoot it?" the Ultramarine, who had retreated into the distance, was about to move, and Sicarius shouted for instructions.
"Don't waste ammo. Wren refused.
It's likely that the sand just now was caused by the gunshot, isn't it troublesome enough?
Sicarius stumbled.
Wren saw that this half of the sand earthworm would not be able to die for a while, and made a big noise, so he decided to do it himself. Thor's hammer flew down, slamming it into the head, up and down, lightning erupted, and then flew upside down into its own hands.
The blow made the sand earthworm even angrier, but its tenacious vitality was still holding on, and the wound it had pierced was healing rapidly.
If it weren't for the fact that it had lost most of its body, the injury didn't matter.
Wren continued to throw Thor's hammer, and the warhammer roared and flew, up and down, slicing through lightning-like trajectories in mid-air, and struck back and forth through the head of the sand earthworm.
Each wound healed rapidly, consuming its soul.
Finally, after smashing more than a dozen hammers, half of the sand earthworm was no longer able to die and struggle, and fell in the sand like a mountain of meat, motionless.
The Soul Eye confirmed that it was dead.
Wren hurriedly flashed down, stood on the huge corpse, took out the "Purple Source Soul Crystal" that could permanently preserve the demon soul and pasted it, a gray demon soul was ingested, and into it, the soul crystal also turned into a light gray gem.
He looked at it, it was the soul of the sand earthworm!
