Free Web NovelChapter 431: Chapter431-The Sandworm Race Is in Big Trouble
Seeing Caelan swallowed by the underground hole, everyone from the Ironclad Legion present revealed regretful expressions.
Because they knew very well what would happen after being caught by a Sandworm.
To put it simply, once someone was dragged into an underground cavern by a Sandworm, there was basically no possibility of survival.
At this moment, Kate’s eyes turned red with anxiety.
Although she and Caelan had always bickered and fought, and there had basically never been a peaceful moment between them over the years, no matter what, he was still her biological older brother!
Kate instantly unleashed her full power and launched a fierce attack toward the hole, trying to force the Sandworm to abandon its nest and come out to fight.
However, the Sandworm was not stupid.
How could it possibly give up its own advantage and come into a crowd of people to deliver itself to death?
The next instant, the Sandworm actually took the initiative to close the hole.
The ground instantly became flat once again.
Seeing this, one of the Merlin family relatives could not help stepping forward and patting Kate’s shoulder in comfort.
"Little Kate, don’t be too sad. Although your brother is handsome, once he’s taken away by a Sandworm, there’s no way he can survive."
"That’s right. Last time, there was a six-star awakener. She had even awakened her rule state, and she was a combat class too, but she still didn’t survive after being caught by a Sandworm. I think you should give up."
"My condolences, Little Kate. Why don’t you join our Ironclad Legion? I can arrange for you to become a team leader, specifically responsible for exterminating Sandworms..."
Lazy Cousin Talia’s eyes were also red.
Still, she stepped forward and gently hugged Kate.
Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, the hole that had already closed suddenly opened again!
The next instant, countless streams of lava sprayed directly out from the opening!
Before anyone could react, a huge Sandworm shot out of the hole with a whoosh, as though its tail had been burned by fire.
Then, under everyone’s stunned gazes, it charged fiercely toward the artificial lake not far away!
However, for some unknown reason, a fully loaded ten-thousand-ton stone transport vehicle happened to pass by on the way.
Clearly, this time, the Sandworm had truly run into terrible luck!
Kate was completely stunned.
Because she actually saw a trace of fear and frustration in the Sandworm’s eyes!
Although the Sandworm was not small, measuring more than ten meters long and weighing dozens of tons, compared to the ten-thousand-ton transport vehicles of the human capital, the difference was far from minor.
The human race’s ten-thousand-ton transport vehicles had long since achieved unmanned driving. They were also made from specially designed ultra-strong metal and could carry weights on the level of ten thousand tons.
In front of the ten-thousand-ton transport vehicle, the Sandworm was like a slightly oversized earthworm!
With a bang, the ten-thousand-ton transport vehicle crushed over the Sandworm’s body without the slightest suspense.
The Sandworm’s enormous body was almost instantly crushed into two halves.
"Hiss!"
The Sandworm let out a violent cry of pain.
Then, using only the front half of its body, it continued crawling with difficulty toward the artificial lake.
For a monster like a Sandworm, this kind of injury was clearly not enough to be fatal.
As long as it consumed some energy, it could easily recover.
What it was truly afraid of right now was actually something else.
The Sandworm’s abnormal behavior quickly attracted Kate and the others’ attention.
"What’s going on with this Sandworm? Why does it feel like it has such a strong obsession with the artificial lake?"
"I don’t get it. I really don’t get it! Don’t Sandworms not drink water? I remember learning in biology class that the way they replenish moisture is actually through food!"
Just then, Kate keenly noticed that the Sandworm’s condition seemed off.
On its teeth, there seemed to be a fiery-red stone.
If one did not look closely, it would be very easy to miss.
Kate narrowed her eyes and activated her appraisal skill. freewebnoveℓ.com
The next instant, her expression instantly froze.
[Lava Core]
[Description: A crystal core containing the power of lava. There is a separate space within it, storing a large amount of lava. Unless the lava is completely released, it will continuously discharge magma.]
When Kate saw this introduction, she could not help drawing in a cold breath.
She finally understood why the Sandworm had such a strong obsession with the artificial lake.
If it did not cool down soon, the Sandworm would really die!
It could not withstand this at all!
"It’s a [Lava Core]!"
"Hurry up and stop it! It wants to use the lake water to extinguish the lava!"
Kate immediately issued her warning.
However, she received no response.
"Little Kate, you’re overthinking it. That artificial lake is the king’s private property. We can’t control it at all!"
"That’s right. Besides, it’s too late to say anything now. We should focus on killing the Sandworm after this is over!"
...
While Kate and the others were discussing, the Sandworm was already extremely close to the artificial lake.
At this moment, almost everyone saw a human-like expression of relief flash through the Sandworm’s eyes.
It was as though it was saying, I finally found water.
The Sandworm curled its body to the limit.
Then, like a spring, it shot out with a whoosh!
It wanted to fly to the very center of the artificial lake.
It wanted to completely extinguish this damned [Lava Core]!
Water, this Sandworm is coming!
However, just as the Sandworm leapt up and reached the highest point in midair, a massive hole had somehow appeared at the bottom of the artificial lake.
At the same time, the lake water poured rapidly into the bottom of the artificial lake at a visible speed.
After only a few short seconds, not a single drop of water remained in the entire artificial lake.
All that was left was the hard lakebed, reinforced by a Runic Array.
Bang!
The Sandworm smashed heavily onto the bottom of the lake.
Its brains were splattered all over the ground!
This bizarre scene left Kate and the others completely stunned.
And just then, from the original hole, a cursing voice suddenly came out.
"God damn it, you damned Sandworm! That’s what you get for biting me! Chipped your teeth, didn’t you?"
"Hey, is anyone there? Give me a hand!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Talia and Kate were the first to react.
The two exchanged a glance, then rushed over at the same time.
"Little Caelan, you’re actually still alive?"
"My dear brother, thank goodness, you’re still alive! Do you know how badly you scared me just now?"
As she spoke, Kate gave Caelan a huge hug and refused to let go no matter what. freēwēbnovel.com
Caelan was slightly stunned.
Then the expression on his face gradually softened.
Having a biological younger sister seemed pretty nice after all.
He narrowed his eyes and looked toward the artificial lake.
Trying to mess with me?
You Sandworm race are in deep trouble!
