Chapter 174: Sand Worms

The underground passages were as complex as the huge roots of a giant tree underground, and Lévi and Alexia couldn't immediately tell if the paths could be navigated, because this place was not inhabited by intelligent beings like the previous caveman territory, which would leave traces, except for sand, insects.

Walking in the dark underground for a long time can bring a great sense of panic to people's psyche, and this uneasiness is gradually accumulated and cannot be eliminated, but fortunately, the two are also mentally resilient people, so it will not be affected too much.

Only the footsteps of the two could be heard in the silent underground passage.

"Levy. Alexia said suddenly.

"Huh?" Levi turned his head curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Why would you give up your comfortable life and choose to travel everywhere? Alexia gave him a strange look, "And keen on danger. ”

Levi paused, thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I can't tell, maybe it's my preference, when I was a child, I often sneaked out of the palace and went to the mercenary guild to listen to those mercenaries who traveled north and south to chat, well, and later found out that most of them were actually bragging." I don't like to stay in one place for a long time, and the last time I went back to the imperial capital was because my eldest brother grabbed me when he returned from the border - it just so happened that I hadn't seen the old man for about a year, so I went back together. ”

"How did you know my sister? Alexia continued, "What kind of person do you think she is?"

"It's a bit complicated to say, you know, I used to be a mercenary for a while. Levi tapped the hilt of the sword on his waist, "B-rank mercenary Levi, registered at the Imperial Capital Headquarters." I was on a mission and there was news of a high-risk serial murderer haunting Andros City with a bounty of 30,000. I happen to be a young man in swordsmanship, and I am young and vigorous, so I naturally want to try it. ”

"The wanted criminal with a bounty of 30,000 shows that he is at least infinitely close to the gold level, or he is a poor and vicious person with an extremely high IQ. Alexia remembered the level of the bounty corresponding to the prisoner, although this thing was increased according to the crime. But if a person does not have enough force and superhuman intelligence, then he cannot commit a great deal.

"That's right, the target prisoner killed six women in Andros one after another, the victim's neck was cut to death, some organs were taken away by the murderer, and blood was left at the crime scene, this method is similar to a previous homicidal maniac, but the local security forces can't determine whether this is a copycat or himself. Levi had a look of remembrance in his eyes, "I was so stupid at the time." thought he had caught the prisoner's little tail, but he was led into a trap step by step, and in the end he was almost used as a scapegoat. ”

"And then?"

"And ......," Lévi was about to say something, but his ears suddenly moved, as if he heard something strange.

He immediately waved Alexia to quiet down. Alexia was immediately silenced and stopped.

After the underground passage fell silent, Lévi finally heard the strange sound of an iron plow plowing in the sand. The sound starts small. But it gradually became bigger and bigger, and even a normal human could hear it very clearly.

The sound was very regular. Little by little. After a while, it stopped, then a few minutes later.

"The voice was ahead of us. Alexia squinted her eyes and whispered, "It's heading towards us." ”

"Eldora?" Levi's muscles tensed as he entered a state of imminent battle.

"It should be. "Underground creatures tend to be less sensitive to vision, but to compensate. The sense of hearing and smell is well developed. He heard our conversation. ”

"No, it's probably footsteps. Levi pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, "Here it is." ”

The tunneling sound was getting louder and louder, long cracks appeared in the side walls of the passage, and the whole passage was shaking. It's a sign that there's a creature out there that is about to crash into the passage.

There was a crunch, and the rock wall exploded like fragile eggshells, and a thick silkworm-like creature burrowed into the passage. The fat body contracted ring by ring, dragging the huge breath in the front full of sharp teeth, wriggling, and countless rubbles flowed out of its mouth.

Judging from the size of its body, the passage that Lévi and Alexia walked was also the one left over from the time it moved, and it was only a few passages that were fortunate enough to survive.

The huge body almost filled the passage,

"It turns out that the sandworm is a digging dragon beast. Levi grinned, "I've been looking for it for a long time, but it looks a little small." ”

"Don't be careless, the terrain here is so good that it can drill into the ground at any time, and it can cause the passage to collapse. Alexia drew her twin swords, "Fight quickly." ”

"Okay—" As soon as Levi's words fell, he turned into an afterimage and rushed past.

The giant monster, whose body was more than twice Lévy's height, rolled and retreated as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, and the hard rock wall shattered like fragile plastic foam, and was widened by more than ten meters.

But to Levi's surprise, the two-meter-long greatsword easily sliced into the body of the Digging Drakemon, but it felt as if it had cut into a layer of oily skin, and the thick skin was so tough that it almost caused the blade to bounce back instead of cutting it.

Although the sword in his hand is not an artifact, it is also a high-strength weapon forged by himself with folding and forging techniques, compared with many so-called heirloom works, in addition to the lack of enchantment, the attributes in other aspects are even higher, and he is the strength of the golden median, with all his strength to cut up with a sword, there is not even a white seal, let alone a white seal, there is not even a trace of depression when it is cut, as if the moment the blade is bounced open, the epidermis will return to the original.

What kind of perverted defense is this?

After Levi's first attack, Alexia had also finished accumulating, and the silver-white fighting energy was burning like flames, but it was gathered on Alexia's hands and two swords.

This is a much more explosive technique than conventional combat skills, and it is also the direction that Alexia is ready to try.

A flash.

Crimson lightning slammed into the sand worm's relatively soft underbelly as Levi's attack rolled over, and a faint tearing sound was faintly heard, and Alexia bounced back at an even faster speed. Luckily, Levi moved ahead of time and caught Alexia before he hit the rock wall.

"This guy has a high epidermal defense and has a strong rebound, and the force of the attack will be transmitted back to the attacker twice or more. Levi said as he put Alexia down.

Levi was feeling a lot of headache right now, the sand insect's epidermal defenses were too high to penetrate.

Alexia's breathing was a little heavy, and the flash just now was also extraordinary for her, and she also took a rebound, which felt like she had been hit by a carriage, and her bones and muscles were a little sore.

"I broke through its defenses. Alexia said.

Levi looked closely, and sure enough, a faint red mark appeared on the surface of the sandworm, but it was very small on the huge body of the sandworm.

The huge sandworm was already in a state of rage after being attacked, the surface of its miserable white skin gradually dyed purple red, and its speed of action suddenly increased, and its head, which was completely composed of huge mouthparts, suddenly turned towards the two of them, and its circular body contracted, and then popped out like a spring of explosion, and the huge mouth shrouded the two of them.

The two of them spread out left and right and leaned against the rock wall, and the huge body of the sandworm passed through the middle of the passage, the huge mouth slightly downward, and the ground it passed was like dirt ploughed by an iron plow. (To be continued.) )
