Chapter 54: Strange Reddish-brown Stone Wall (Please collect and read)
It pounced out like lightning, and a sharp knife light of nearly two meters flashed across, and the tip of the khaki sandworm exposed above the ground was instantly broken into five pieces!
"Huh?" Xu Yang's face changed, and he quickly stretched out his claws to hook the sandworm's wound.
It turned out that the severely injured sandworm was not dead. Although a large amount of blood was spurting out of the broken end, it was still struggling to drill into the ground at a very fast speed! This kind of annelid similar to an earthworm cannot be speculated by the hunting method of ordinary mammals.
Xu Yang's strength has now reached the third level of the stellar grade, and his force of 32.8 billion kilograms is truly terrifying!
Therefore, although the sandworm's body was entangled in the winding corridor underground, it was still pulled out slowly and firmly by Xu Yang.
five minutes later.
The sandworm spewing scarlet blood was completely pulled out. Its body length was nearly 30 meters and its diameter was about 1.5 meters. If the part cut off by Xu Yang was included, the estimated length would reach 33 meters.
If Xu Yang hadn't been afraid that the force was too great and would break it in pieces, allowing part of his body to escape, it wouldn't have taken so long.
Although the sandworm that was pulled out was twitching violently in pain, it still did not give up struggling. Like a giant snake, it swung its body at an extremely fast speed, making crackling sounds. Driven by the instinct of life and death, it was so bold that it coiled towards Xu Yang's neck.
Seeing the sandworm attacking him like a giant snake, Xu Yang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He didn't even try to dodge, but relied on his reaction speed which was one major realm lower than his own to arrive first. He opened his bloody mouth, revealing his sharp fangs, and bit fiercely at the broken end of the sandworm.
"Crack!"
Xu Yang's fangs were like sharp blades, instantly cutting off another section of the sandworm. However, the sandworm still did not die, and the remaining part was still twisting wildly.
After chewing it vigorously, Xu Yang unexpectedly discovered that the sandworm tasted very good, fat but not greasy, with a burnt aroma and a sweetness like cream ice cream.
With his two front paws firmly holding down the remaining body of the sandworm, Xu Yang chewed the still lively sandworm segment in his mouth. Scarlet blood dripped along the gaps between his teeth and the corners of his mouth onto the sand. The pervasive bloody smell not only did not make him look ferocious and violent, but instead brought him a unique sense of nobility.
After swallowing the delicious food, Xu Yang still felt unsatisfied.
He lowered his head and forcefully tore off a piece of the tender body of the sandworm again. As he tore, he heard the sandworm's painful struggles and shrill screams, but these sounds did not affect Xu Yang at all, as if he did not hear them.
As time went by, the sandworm's body was gradually devoured by Xu Yang, and its struggling movements became quieter and quieter.
[Resource +1]
Now his digestive ability has become abnormally terrifying. He swallowed the entire sandworm that was more than 30 meters long without leaving a single piece. His mouth was full of blood and his stomach was slightly swollen.
"It's delicious, just like having a big meal of cream ice cream." After a slight burp, Xu Yang praised it endlessly. He licked the corner of his mouth to clean the last trace of blood, with a satisfied light flashing in his eyes.
I thought I would have to go to bed with an empty stomach tonight, but I didn’t expect that there would be a takeaway service delivering delicious food to my door!
Xu Yang, who has been a delivery man for three years, also enjoyed the pleasure of delivering takeout for the first time.
After combing his hair and using the Force to shake off the blood on his body, Xu Yang paced to the hole where the sandworm broke through the ground. The hole was very small. After removing the rubble covering it, it was only about 1.7 meters in diameter, just a circle larger than the body of the sandworm.
"What a nice smell, there must be more!" Xu Yang stared at the cave entrance with eyes that were not much smaller than the cave entrance, looking into the deep interior. His sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and he could feel a light breeze carrying the scent of sandworm meat drifting out of the cave entrance.
"Insect-like creatures like sandworms should live in groups. It's impossible that there is only one in such a vast plain." Xu Yang made a bold assumption in order to satisfy his appetite and [resources].
Putting his nose close to the cave entrance and taking a deep breath, Xu Yang immediately memorized the smell of the sandworm. With his sense of smell fully activated and his brain's spatial imagination fully mobilized, Xu Yang struggled to construct a rough smell route in his mind. Compared to the smell on the ground, it was obviously ten times more difficult to search for this underground smell.
"Hopefully something will come of it."
Xu Yang lowered his head like a puppy, with his nose very close to the ground, trying his best to sniff the faint scent of sandworms.
Whoosh!
With a kick, Xu Yang's body rushed out.
……
Searching along the way, Xu Yang estimated that he had run at least 100 kilometers. Although he was still searching hard, he had already lost hope.
Suddenly, Xu Yang's eyes lit up, and the color of the soil and rocks under his nose changed!
It was not the loose yellow sand that was so dry that it could cause a sandstorm when the wind blew, but reddish-brown soil with very little moisture.
The soil is still hard, but it contains moisture. Xu Yang, who has lived on this land for quite some time, knows very well what this means!
There must be creatures nearby that rely on this soil that still carries moisture to survive. In this vast plain where the temperature even reaches over 40 degrees Celsius at night, this soil that still preserves the source of life is the most precious resource!
Sure enough, Xu Yang noticed the difference as soon as he looked up.
He was now standing at the bottom of a wall of reddish-brown sandstone. His shoulder height was 18 meters, and if he looked up, he was nearly 22 meters high. However, he looked very small in front of this wall of reddish-brown sandstone.
"It shouldn't be like this. Looking from this angle, the sandstone wall is at least one thousand meters high. How come I didn't notice it from the sky?" Xu Yang frowned. You know, on this plain, a hill five hundred meters high is already very conspicuous. He would definitely not miss it from the sky, not to mention this one-thousand-meter-high reddish-brown stone wall with obvious traces of carving.
With some confusion, Xu Yang turned around and looked, then he discovered the clue.
It turned out that Xu Yang was so focused on walking along the way that he did not notice that the one-kilometer road behind him was all downward slope, and the reddish-brown stone wall was hidden in this sunken pit!
"No wonder it can store water vapor. It turns out it is already underground." Xu Yang suddenly realized.
The weather over the plain is very clear today, and the moon is bright at night, so even though Xu Yang is now semi-underground, his wolf eyes can still clearly reflect the surrounding scenery.
Without forgetting why he came here, Xu Yang continued to sniff the scent of sandworms.
"left!"
Xu Yang felt that the aura on the left was almost twice as strong, so he took a step forward and ran to the left without hesitation.
“Rustle, rustle~~~”
Every time Xu Yang landed on the ground, he would fully relax his joints to reduce the impact of his palms as much as possible. Now was not the time to boost morale, and there was no need to make the dull "dong dong dong" sound of stomping on the ground.
Quietly, don't shoot!
