Free Web NovelChapter 432: Chapter432-The Sandworms Were Wiped Out?!
Human Capital, Artificial Lake. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The Sandworm whose brains had splattered all over the ground shook its head once again and stood back up.
At this moment, rage nearly erupted from the thousands of eyes across its body!
It glared furiously toward the huge hole at the bottom of the lake.
As the king of the Sandworm race, how could it possibly fail to recognize that this was the work of the Sandworms?
Which bastard had dug a hole in a place like this?
Instead of properly eating humans, why the hell were they eating lake water?
Wasn’t that just pure insanity?
Just then, a confused little Sandworm burrowed out from the bottom of the lake.
It looked around blankly, and its thousands of eyes quickly locked onto the Sandworm King.
The next instant, the little Sandworm’s body froze completely.
On the other side, the Sandworm King, the large Sandworm whose brains had splattered everywhere, also turned into one giant idiot the moment it saw the little Sandworm!
Wait.
Wasn’t that its own unlucky child?
Why was it...
The next instant, the large Sandworm seemed to realize something. Its thousands of eyes were instantly filled with intense terror!
As everyone knew, Sandworm nests were made from carefully selected sand.
Sandworms liked dry environments. If there was too much moisture, they could easily drown!
But...
Wasn’t the little Sandworm supposed to be inside its nest?
Why was it...
No!!!
The large Sandworm let out a shrill roar of rage.
Then it no longer cared about anything else and fiercely drilled into the hole at the bottom of the lake!
However, the next moment, it was firmly stuck at the entrance.
After all, it was only natural that it could not pass through a tunnel dug by a little Sandworm. Their sizes were completely different.
Just as the large Sandworm prepared to use its sharp teeth to widen the tunnel, the [Lava Core] shattered again.
A massive amount of magma instantly poured down into the depths of the hole!
Before the little Sandworm could even react, it was burned into a lump of charcoal by the magma...
At that moment, the large Sandworm’s thousands of eyes almost split apart with fury!
It had never dreamed that its poor child would encounter something so horrifying!
However, it no longer had time to grieve.
Because the magma’s target happened to be the old nest of the Sandworm race...
Endless waves of heat swept through the entire human capital, even raising the overall temperature by ten degrees!
These heat waves did not come from the sky.
They surged from deep underground.
There was even a faint smell of roasted meat in the air...
Kate and the others stared blankly at the scene before them.
They could not understand it.
Clearly, it was the Sandworms who had taken the initiative to attack the human race.
So why was it that, in the end, their own nest had suffered a disaster of extermination instead?
Just then, Talia keenly narrowed her eyes.
Her gaze then stopped on Caelan as she carefully examined him.
Strange.
Why did she sense a trace of the Power of Laws?
Could this boy...
A passionate smile suddenly appeared on Talia’s face. She then leaned forward and directly wrapped an arm around Caelan’s neck.
"Little Caelan, be honest with me. What exactly happened with the Sandworms? Why did I smell the aura of rules?"
From beginning to end, Caelan had never planned to hide anything.
So he spread his hands and said, "Nothing much. It’s just that the class I awakened happens to carry a tiny bit of the power of rules. Since it’s the Rules of Misfortune, this is very normal!"
Caelan did not deliberately lower his voice.
Instead, he intentionally raised it.
The relatives not far away were all fairly powerful awakeners themselves. They instantly heard Caelan’s words clearly, and their faces were immediately filled with shock!
Wait, seriously?
Why could someone obtain the power of rules right after awakening a class?
Was this really reasonable?
In truth, although Caelan, Talia, and the others had not returned to the family, the eyes of the two families had always been watching their lives.
Because of that, these relatives all knew that Caelan had only participated in the awakening ceremony within the past two days.
But they had never known that Caelan’s class actually contained the Power of Laws!
Just then, an elderly figure appeared before Caelan and Talia.
As the head of the Merlin family, Lina possessed the strongest power and the broadest knowledge.
She narrowed her eyes, her kindly gaze sweeping over Caelan.
After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.
"Although I have lived for many years and experienced quite a few things, to be honest, I have never seen anyone awaken a class related to rules."
"However... perhaps you have received the favor of the rules. That may also be possible."
"All right, child. Come with me to the Ironclad Legion headquarters. I believe there is a suitable place for you there."
...
Since Lina had spoken, naturally no one would choose to defy her.
Ironclad Legion Headquarters, Supreme Conference Room.
Because Caelan’s class was extremely special, he was exceptionally permitted to attend today’s meeting.
This kind of meeting was something even Kate did not have the qualifications to participate in.
And Caelan’s appearance instantly caused intense discussion inside the headquarters.
Even outside the Supreme Conference Room, a large number of Legion members were gathered at the door, whispering among themselves.
Compared to the serious atmosphere inside the conference room, the atmosphere outside was clearly much livelier.
The topics they discussed were also extremely bold.
"Have you heard? That handsome little boy named Caelan is actually our relative. I thought he was Sister Kate’s boy toy!"
"Wuwuwu, my heart shattered all over the floor. I even customized a doll of him. Looks like I won’t be able to use it now!"
"Tell me... why would his support class actually receive the favor of the Power of Laws? Isn’t his luck way too good?"
"Exactly, exactly. Compared to fighting such a bizarre ability, I’d rather fight other combat classes. You didn’t see it. The Sandworm race was truly miserable. According to our commander’s detection, the entire Sandworm race was completely wiped out!"
"Too terrifying. First, their nest was washed apart by a flood. Then they were buried in wet sand. After that, they ran into scorching magma. They could only be roasted alive and couldn’t even escape. Tsk, tsk..."
"Speaking of which, Sandworms actually taste pretty good! Smooth, springy, and chewy. Isn’t it basically a high-end version of shrimp meat?"
"Wait, sister, your tastes are way too heavy, aren’t they??? You can actually put something as disgusting as Sandworm in your mouth?"
...
The discussion outside gradually veered toward a certain special topic.
Meanwhile, inside the Supreme Conference Room, almost every member present had a look of shock written across their face.
Wait.
Had he really awakened a rule class?
