The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 78 Sandworm

"Pfft!" Sean spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto Krobo's already shriveled head.

After wasting a lot of effort, Sean only got half of a broken magic wand.

Krobo's magic wand seemed to be more advanced than Sean's strong acid cane.

The magic inscriptions engraved on it were much more than Sean's strong acid cane.

I don't know if it has reached the level of a formal magic guide, but it's a pity that it was broken.

From the chest down, Krobo's body was gone, including only one arm, no wonder Sean didn't get anything.

There was only a black spine connected to some broken meat in front of Sean.

The quasi-black magician Krobo had such a fate, and it was his own fault.

Sean, who had wasted a lot of effort but didn't get much, wanted to vent something.

He raised the half magic wand in his hand and was about to throw it out.

At the end, he took it back.

At least it was half a harvest, and the material of this magic wand was OK.

Even if it looked useless, it seemed good to replace the strong acid cane as a digging tool.

Sighing softly, Sean continued to search nearby.

He actually wanted to go to the center of the sand valley, but the crisis reminder from his subconscious told him that it was better not to do so before his injury was completely recovered.

...

After three consecutive days of searching, Sean found more than a dozen corpses of apprentices.

Most of these corpses were buried under the yellow sand and had lost vital signs. Sean had not found any living people except him.

Affected by the erosion of the yellow sand, it may also be affected by the violent energy element ripples in the previous chaos.

Sean collected a lot of low- and medium-level magic props, but most of these magic props have been destroyed and have little value.

Although a limited part can still be used, the loss of internal elements is extremely serious. It is still unclear whether Sean can repair it.

Apart from the "garbage" he collected, Sean himself suffered a lot of losses.

Not only were his injuries severed, but the pale mask that Sean had been wearing on his face was also scrapped.

The reason why he didn't throw it away was that this low-level magic item was the first magic equipment he had seized personally.

Like the acid cane, it has a certain meaning to Sean.

If possible, Sean wants to try to repair it in the future.

He collected a total of seven elemental beads that were important for Sean's return to the Underdark.

This number was obviously not enough for Sean to activate the grip, but he could no longer find more apprentice corpses.

In order to find more apprentice corpses, it was also to solve the doubts that had lasted for many days.

After his body and magic power were almost restored, Sean slowly walked deep into the center of the Sand Valley.

"The earth element shield ring has some wear and tear, but fortunately the invisibility cloak seems to be intact." When heading to the unknown center of the Sand Valley, Sean activated his high-level magic item.

The terrain of this sand valley is quite special. Because it is funnel-shaped, Sean, who is at the bottom of the valley, has not felt too hot these days, and the sun rarely shines here.

As Sean continues to move deeper into the center of the sand valley, his altitude is getting lower and lower.

There is a subtle sound of sand flowing, and when Sean comes to the bottom of the sand valley, he even feels a long-lost sense of coolness.

It may not be accurate to say cool, because Sean's body is cold at this time.

At this time, in front of Sean, the number is difficult to count. At a glance, dense yellow worms are constantly rolling in the yellow sand.

These yellow worms are definitely not any of the worm species Sean has seen before.

Obviously, their bodies look more flexible and smooth, but what is chilling is that these worms have a fang full of barbs at both ends of their heads and tails.

These worms are eating.

The dry and hard yellow sand, which has no nutritional value, is the food of these worms!

The body lengths range from less than ten centimeters to several meters, which shows how exaggerated the growth potential of these insects is.

This is just what Sean saw with his naked eyes. There may be even larger giant insects in the deeper part of the sea of ​​insects that he did not see.

"Sandworm" is the name given to this kind of insect in Sean's mind, because the other party feeds on yellow sand, and the world Sean is currently in is a yellow sand world.

But obviously these sandworms do not only feed on yellow sand.

Next to the piles of sandworms gathered and rolled, Sean saw some scattered black magic robes.

This is the standard magic robe for apprentices of the Black Magic Academy in Mosobra City. Only the robes are left, and the bodies and flesh of other apprentices are not seen.

It can be seen where they have gone.

However, after the body was cold, what made Sean's body temperature recover was that he saw about 20 to 30 scattered red element beads next to those broken magic robes.

These element beads seemed to be indigestible by the sandworms.

The mucus in the mouths of these sandworms can even melt clothes and sand. For some reason, they are not interested in the elemental beads.

Sean was a little excited and wanted to rush over and grab those elemental beads immediately.

However, before he could act, a giant sandworm with a length of more than ten meters, which was obviously the king of all the sandworms around, squeezed out of the pile of sandworms.

What made Sean even colder was that once this giant sandworm appeared, it crawled straight towards his location.

The huge mouth, sharp fangs, and huge body were enough for the giant sandworm to swallow him in one bite.

And this giant sandworm was not alone. As it continued to crawl towards Sean, it was accompanied by countless small and micro sandworms, as well as two other medium-sized sandworms with lengths of three meters and four meters respectively.

"Can these sandworms see through my invisible cloak?" Sean was shocked.

As the giant sandworm dragged its people away from the sand pit, Sean noticed that there was another world under the sand pit.

It was an underground space that could not be seen at the end for the time being, and in addition to the sandworms in front of him, there seemed to be more sandworms below.

There might be a more powerful existence than this giant sandworm. Seeing the danger coming, Sean turned around and ran without hesitation.

Reckless behavior is not Sean's style. Excellent magicians often win with wisdom.

Including the low-level apprentice stage, the cross-level killing of the saltwater crocodile was also the result of Sean's repeated considerations and inner simulations.

Facing these sandworms whose depth and number were unknown, Sean had to make a long-term plan.

As Sean left quickly, the sandworms slowed down their pursuit.

It can be seen that although these sandworms seemed to be able to see through Sean's invisibility, their range of catching prey was not too far.

So, how did they find Sean?

Was it by smell, temperature, or the elemental power in Sean's body?
