"I think we finally know where Merlin's nutrients come from..."

"These giant tunnel worms devour the flesh and blood of the challenger and victims, and through those immortal monsters, they sent all the nutrients to this forest..."

Langdon grinned his teeth and felt numb in his scalp: "It's so disgusting. Are those bugs transformed from living people? Why do they still have human skull components on their heads..."

Iggs covered his mouth and said with all his might: "It seems that the rumors are true. Those suicide dead men turned into terrifying monsters under the power of the magic gem. Although they have lost their human consciousness, they will always serve the Holy Emperor's forest and turn all invaders into fertilizer!"

"The Holy Emperor...offends...death..."

The giant worm kept wriggling, and vague speech was made in the fuzzy skull. Whether it was a romantic and tragic story or not, its face was really unsatisfactory.

In ancient times, there were always monster legends such as "death worms" and "cow intestinal sandworms" in deserts around the world.

Legend has it that these worms are the god of death in the desert. They have mouths but no eyes, and their heads and mouths are sharp teeth that bloom like chrysanthemums, which are usually dormant in dark places. When hunting, sandworms will spray strong numb-paralytic venom from their mouths, which can easily knock down oxen and camels to the ground.

Most of these worms look like the intestines of red bulls. They rely on the movement and displacement of muscles in the links. After putting down their prey, they will immediately drill into the body from the seven orifices of the prey and devour the internal organs of the prey from the inside. The victimized animals are often eaten to only one piece of skin and bones, and any creature entering their territory will be terrible attacks.

This is a disgusting monster that is extremely ugly but also uncomfortable.

Originally, it was annoying to be a small sandworm alone, but the "waist" diameter of human insects transformed by these magical techniques is generally more than 1 meter. If anyone is swallowed by it in one bite... the picture may be something that most people don't want to see.

"It's a worm! What a big worm!" Yatira became incoherent after being surprised. Fortunately, Komako stayed by her side to protect her at any time.

Accompanied by strange vibrations, everyone ran out.

Giant worms broke out from the ground, swaying in the wind like giant sea anemones, and the scales on their abdomen slowly swelled like waves. I don’t know if they were digesting something or brewing more disgusting attacks.

"Everyone is alert, keep running, don't stay in the same place for too long, be careful to be surrounded by them!" Chen Yaogang held the bow and arrow and cut into the combat posture directly.

Needless to say, since he realized the disadvantage of close combat, he played flying axes much more frequently: "These guys are as disgusting as giant maggots in the snowfield in the north. Are they all scavengers that live on corpses?"

"Die..." The giant insect, which was half a human face, swelled its abdomen and suddenly spit out a large ball of sharp and broken filthy bone fragments. Iggs, who was hiding behind the wall, was shocked and quickly expanded the magic barrier, but was knocked away by this force.

When Eggs came to his senses, he saw that there seemed to be some undigested human tissue in the filthy bone fragment. Although he was the king's body, he immediately vomited it out.

Chen Yaogang shot a giant worm with one arrow. The latter was stimulated by electric current and immediately fell into a twitching and screaming, and the juice from the wound kept ejecting.

Langdon shot another arrow into its mouth: "God, please shut up, you are so disgusting that you have come out of a new realm!"

Komak protected Yatira in awe. When he thought that the worms were so fat and juicy, he didn't even want to use his sword to cut down those ghost things: "The tomb guardian of the Holy Sword Emperor is really different from what I imagined. How many evil and twisted creatures are there in this maze? Why didn't the Goddess of Justice destroy them?"

"Maybe the goddess of justice is going to keep it for us to fight against evil?"

Chen Yaogang aimed at the worms, shot continuously, and threw a small explosive barrel to the others: "Hold this, they always attack from below. When they drilled out of the ground, they threw this into their mouths, and they had to find a way to blow them out of the soil!"

"Oh my God, how long are their bodies? We have to hide behind trees. Their attacks are so dense!"

"The head can drill out of the ground and spit out attacks, but its tail is like a centipede-like poisonous scissor tail. If I ask me again, I might not want to go to the maze adventure!"

Chen Yaogang was not disgusted or disturbed by the giant insects. He kept shooting while standing and feeling the vibration under his feet.

A second before the worm came out, Chen Yaogang threw down the bomb and jumped up, landing on the wall behind.

Seeing the worm swallowing the bomb in one bite, a ball of light quickly burst out from its translucent body. The worm was blown out of the soil with a whine, lying on the ground like an eel, constantly wriggling and struggling back and forth.

The centipede worm died without being stiff. Even though Chen Yaogang broke it with several explosion arrows, half of the insect's fat body still tried to wriggle and tried to drill back into the soil.

"I would have liked Kaila here. Using a freezing floor can more or less prevent these bugs from rushing hard."

The oil jar was thrown out, and Chen Yaogang once again used elemental flames, forcing the insects to stop attacking and drilled back into the wet humus soil layer.

With one blow, Chen Yaogang covered his teammates to escape from the battle: "How are you? We can't get the plum fruits just by doing this. We have to find a way to determine the nests of the dead and dig out their insect roots from below."

When I heard that I was going to fight underground, Igs immediately turned blue and got goosebumps all over his body: "How to find this? We don't know the entrance to the Holy Emperor's tomb!"

Komako also pursed her dry lips: "I think it's a bit risky to fight the bugs underground. Maybe I can steal a few of them with a crow?"

Langdon covered his mouth and frowned slowly: "Are you sure you still want to eat this kind of plum fruit after listening to this kind of story? I have no appetite at all now, it's so bad!"

Chen Yaogang pointed to the plum trees: "Don't retreat. Since it is a challenge arranged by the goddess of justice, let's just accept it all. I just observed that the arrangement of those plum trees is very special. Since each plum tree can be nurtured and irrigated by worms, it means that the tomb passage is under the plum trees."

"It is impossible to get the memory of the Holy Emperor without suffering. The future mission may be even more disgusting and dangerous than this. How can I be afraid? I just sent a crow to investigate. This forest is very vast and I didn't see the entrance to the next maze, and maybe it's under the tomb."

With Chen Yaogang's encouragement, Igs barely recovered a little of a living face: "Okay, I'll look for the entrance to the tomb, but you have to protect me. I don't want to be trapped by the disgusting insects... God, I think pythons are more cute than them now. Why do these loyal ministers turn into such disgusting monsters?"
