Although Ian felt that it was impossible for him to wake up Astharius and try to make it burn his own descendants, after listening to Lawrence's information, he still asked Betsy to set fire to the original owner of the cave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ian was pleased with the results.

As it turned out, these descendants failed to inherit their mother's ability to "burn and not die".

Of course, everyone was relieved to know that at least the larvae didn't inherit all of the properties of the Scourge, or that they couldn't until they reached a certain stage.

Looking through the pocket watch in his pocket, and after making sure it wasn't too early, Ian asked Lawrence one last question.

He asked, "So where exactly is Asathys?"

But Lawrence replied insincerely, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

He just told Ian, "As soon as you get to the epicenter, you'll know where it is." ”

In response, a smiling Ian stops Miss Julie, who wants to give him a "good night's sleep", and slaps him with a scabbard, knocking him unconscious.

The group rested in the burnt cavern for the night, and then began to march towards the epicenter again. It's just that the purpose of their trip is one more - to capture the descendants of the natural disaster.

The underground tunnels are intricately branched, but Ian has done some preparation to make it all the way. And when the group reaches the end of Ian's exploration, they find a new way to "navigate".

Because the number of other demons along the way is gradually decreasing, and the descendants of Asathys are increasing. Therefore, Bartlett judged that as long as they traveled in the direction of the most demon worms, they would definitely come to the place where Asharthys was.

This decision naturally made the two ladies present roll their eyes, but fortunately, although their faces were pale, they knew the general situation to some extent, and did not complain too much, but just followed everyone silently.

As they traveled some distance again, the mutilated corpses of various demons gradually appeared in the tunnel.

"It's a bite mark. Bartlett reflected the light of the fire and made a judgment after turning over the corpses on the ground: "They are using these demons as food." ”

"It looks like we're close to our destination. Ian looked at the swarthy hole in front of him, and with his extraordinary hearing, he could already vaguely hear the "rustling" of countless insects crawling.

Immediately, Ian closed his eyes, sank his consciousness into his mind, and began to sketch a panorama of the earth. With the Swordmaster's superhuman consciousness, a clear three-dimensional model soon emerged from his mind, revealing all the paths he had taken, as well as their current location.

After confirming the three-dimensional position of the people, he opened his eyes: "Go forward further, and we will enter the 'Demon Sea' directly below. ”

"The location of the epicenter is also roughly in front, and it seems that these demon insects have dug up a layer by themselves. Master Clark glanced at the bag of materials on his back, which contained the remains of a suitably sized demon worm.

"Heighten your vigilance and we move forward. ”

With Bartlett's order, everyone's expressions began to become solemn. Ian and Bartlett were at the forefront, Miss Julie and Master Clark were customarily protected in the middle, Rosen and Betsy were flanked, and Pullman was the queen of the palace.

The crowd slowed down and began to move forward more cautiously.

In a few moments, at the exit of this long tunnel, an extremely empty underground cavern appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The extent of this underground cavern is huge, like a huge underground tunnel, and the north-south direction is extremely deep, and there is no end in sight. Aside from the fact that the entire huge space seemed empty, this was almost a replica of the area where the previous layer of huge demon groups was located.

No, it may not be appropriate to say that this floor is empty.

As the crowd stood at the mouth of the small tunnel and looked down, the sight they saw made almost everyone shiver.

That's the corpse!

A thick layer spreads across the entire cave floor, and there are endless demon corpses at a glance!

They were broken and broken, piled up like garbage, covering the entire land and emitting a rotting stench.

"Just kidding, huh!?"

Lawson swallowed and walked over Bartlett in distraction, trying to get out of the tunnel. And Ian, who saw his action, hurriedly grabbed him by the back collar and pulled him back alive.

"Lord Ian?" asked Rosen, who had come back to his senses, after being pulled by this.

"Don't go out. ”

Ian's face was filled with unparalleled solemnity. Between the Sword Master's consciousness perception that was different from ordinary people, he had already seen a terrifying scene that ordinary people had not noticed at first.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Master Clark was the first to react: "Lord Ian, what did you see?"

"Head. ”

Ian looked up, an indescribable wry smile in his voice. With this action, after hesitating for a moment, everyone also raised their heads and looked at the zenith of the huge cavern.

In an instant, everyone's faces turned extremely pale.

The zenith glows faintly from yellow balls of varying sizes that adhere to the zenith. These wonderful, beautiful-looking balls lay densely on the zenith, and in each of them there seemed to be something slender tumbling and wandering in them.

At this moment, in the horrified eyes of everyone, one of the balls gradually shattered, spilling a disgusting viscous liquid. And as the sphere shattered, a crystalline milky white worm squeezed out of it.

It looked around twice, as if looking at its new world, and then as if it felt the first hunger of its newborn, it bit the orb that had given birth to it.

In a matter of minutes, its body turned from pale to yellow, then brown again, and finally, when it completely devoured the ball that enveloped itself, its fragile brown shell turned into a black-and-red armor at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a "rustling" sound, it slowly crawled out of the ovarian area. And as it moved, there was an even denser sound around it.

Areas that had been thought to be black rock formations began to wriggle irregularly, splitting into one after another, opening a gap to welcome their new compatriots. When the newborn incorporated its body into it, they clinged to each other again, stacked on the zenith and side walls of the cavern, and turned into lifeless rocks once more. (To be continued.) )
