Just as Naxi continued to coerce and lure Nubis, the guide elf, to tell what was coming from this irritating noise, the situation on the field changed subtly.

Lidona stared closely at everything around her, and she was surprised to find that some of the grass was swinging strangely about a hundred meters away. After a violent sway, they were all a few points taller than the green grass next to them.

And the tall grass was clearly arranged in a strange line that kept swinging, and was constantly rushing towards the position where everyone was.

Lidona drew her greatsword and charged her strength, then unleashed a slash that pierced through the earth at the place where the green grass was surging.

"Dragon Diving Ground!"

The crescent-like sword qi slashed diagonally towards the place where the green grass was constantly rising. After the boom, the sword qi blasted open the green surface, and the brown soil below also flew around under the effect of the slash, forming a huge crater more than four meters wide.

The sudden loud noise startled Naxi, who was still interrogating Nubis, and he turned around to see Lidona's masterpiece. The steaming crater made him impressed by Lidona's prowess once again.

How powerful is this ice beauty, Naxi glanced at Lidona, who had been expressionless all the time, and suddenly felt a shudder.

Thanks to this slash, the annoying noise finally disappeared. Naxi stopped questioning the Guide Elf, but the other people's expressions became more solemn.

Especially Lidona, who is the captain, has confirmed that something is eyeing them, and it is at their feet. Although the slash just now blasted open a large crater, there was nothing else to be found around the pit except for the blast open and the green grass.

It could be seen that the slash did not hit the unidentified object lurking underground, and it had chosen because of the sudden attack

The breathless crowd watched every inch of grass around them, convinced that a lurking danger was in the surrounding soil. Compared to the visible shadow wolf, this unknown threat made everyone's nerves tense even more.

Of course, the rookie Nashi seemed unaware of the impending crisis, as he had never encountered an aggressive creature that could emerge from the ground. But when he saw that everyone's faces were solemn, he also began to realize the danger that was coming.

The atmosphere around him became extremely heavy, and the air seemed to freeze. Although the head was as warm as ever, and the wind on the grassland was not normal, everyone's hearts never dared to let go. No one knows

Tick tock, tick tick.

It seems to be the sound of some ancient machine being activated again, as it only appears at the moment when the gears are activated.

It was clear that the ticking sound had detonated the strange noises and humming that had just stopped, and the annoying noise had returned. And the disturbing sound is getting louder and closer, and everyone can even directly feel that the noise is coming from under their feet.

The first to react was Lidona, who spun her left hand and grabbed Kisma, who was closest to her, and then kicked hard and jumped away as fast as she could.

At about the same time, the dwarf also sensed the added danger, and he ignored his own image, and rolled away from what he felt was dangerous. Raikkonen followed closely as well, quickly leaving the place where he was fighting. As an agile and alert Assassin, he knew exactly what was coming.

Dulles jumped near Naxi, a sudden move that made Naxi nervous. He didn't know why everyone left their original place in a panic without any big scenes.

And Naxi, who had been suspecting that Dulles had a conspiracy for the past two days, found that Dulles was standing by his side, and he suddenly had a very desperate thought:

"What are you doing here? Naxi, who was still carrying the elf Nubis, couldn't help but panic.

As soon as the words fell, where everyone was standing, a large bag of soil suddenly rose from the soil. Immediately followed by a loud sound that broke the sky, and a pitch-black figure broke through the obstacles and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Naxi was too frightened by the sudden behemoth to move. Because what appeared in front of him was a behemoth that looked like an earthworm but had black hard skin. When Naxi's eyes looked up again, the monster's neck turned out to be a circle of shiny blades, still spinning rapidly.

Seeing this, he finally understood where the strange noise was coming from, it was the protrusion of the monster's neck with a rotating blade fang, like the knots of bamboo.

Spinning the neck of countless fangs, and beyond was the monster, uglier than any snake, with a head full of fangs. The difference is that this monster does not have a fiery red tongue like a snake in its mouth, only a bottomless and constantly dripping bloody mouth with corrosive acid.

The monster has no eyes, and its head has only a bright red light that constantly flashes, which is where the buzzing sound comes from.

Looking at this monster with both biological characteristics and a mechanical appearance, Naxi's mind suddenly remembered a name that only existed in books.

Puppet pit bugs.

"Tunnel bugs...... How could it be a pit worm. Naxi couldn't believe his eyes. He remembered very well the explanation in the book, that this kind of puppet beast, which contained a very high level of craftsmanship but maintained its biological surname, could only be found in those ancient legends. Moreover, the craft of books has long been lost, and it is impossible for it to exist in the world.

But seeing is believing, the pit worm does exist, and it is still appearing in front of his eyes, Naxi has to believe this fact.

The beast with a red glow of its head writhed its thick body, and without eyes, he seemed to be surveying the field.

"What the hell is this?" said Naxi, holding Nubis trapped in his hands. Since he could imitate a sound similar to the monster in front of him, he must know what this pit worm was called.

"Haha, since you asked sincerely, then I will be merciful to tell you. The guide elf Nubis was once again triumphant, "You are so lucky that you have met the king from the Confused Grassland, the puppet pit worm! Even in the age of mythology, it is the most difficult pit bug on the battlefield. Enjoy, it's much tougher than the fragile Shadow Wolves. Haha......"

"Bastard, stop him quickly. Naxi had read the descriptions of the pit worms, and this extremely difficult thing was definitely not something he could deal with.

While Nashi was arguing with Nubis, the puppet pit worm had already targeted him. The front body of the tunnel worm leaned back slightly, and the muscles of the neck could be seen to have a significant contraction, which was exactly the same as a cobra entering an attacking state.

Wow, aiming at the pit where Naxi was, the insect suddenly pounced forward, enough to swallow the blood of more than a dozen people, making Naxi, who suddenly found that the crisis was coming, felt extremely desperate.

Just when Naxi thought he was going to die, a figure suddenly rushed to his side and pushed Naxi out of the devouring range of the pit worm.

At the moment when he was pushed out of the range of the pit worm, Naxi discovered that the person who pushed him away was Dulles, whom he had always suspected. And after Dulles pushed him away, there was not enough time to jump away, and the bloody mouth of the fast-moving pit worm had already rushed down.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped, Naxi did not believe what he saw, and Dulles's last helpless smile and inaudible words were the last scene he saw.

"Don't!" shouted Naxi, who was pushed aside.

Bang!

The moment it swallowed Dulles, the tunnel worm had already gouged open the escape hole with the help of the rapidly rotating blade teeth on its neck, and its huge body dived into the ground under its feet like a loach, and its dive was so fast that it even brought a whirlwind.

Seeing Dulles being swallowed by the pit worm in order to save himself, Naxi suddenly knelt on the ground. Guilt, remorse, and grief broke through Naxi's psychological defenses at once.

He hated his incompetence and unresponsiveness for not being able to detect the movement of the pit worms. Because of this, Dulles died under the attack of the pit worm in order to save himself

But such remorse was useless, for the piercing digging and the maddening hum were approaching him.

The pit worm that had just swallowed Dulles had just eaten the first dish, and it would not stop if it didn't eat all these adventurers who had broken into its territory.
