Chapter 1126 Long and Hard
"What about the second step?" Ren asked.
"We've carried out the first step first," I said, "How can we build a tall building without even building the foundation?"
Renn chuckled: "Are you training me?"
"This is not training." I shook my head: "It's just that I haven't thought about the second step properly. Besides, plans can't change as fast as they do. If things change, we have to adapt accordingly."
"Then I'll listen to you," Ren said, "Do you have any other instructions?"
"There is only one instruction," I said: "Even if the mission fails, you must come back alive."
Renn smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I walked home, I felt much better, finally finishing a trivial matter.
If my guess is correct, Ren will definitely not carry out this mission himself, but will hand it over to one of his disciples. After all, it is definitely not a good thing for a foreigner to become famous in Moonlight City as an assassin.
Go home for morning exercise, then breakfast, and then dungeon experience, as regular as breathing, without any disorder.
Everyone in the guild is extremely proficient in the tactics against the earthworms. Every time the earthworms release electric balls, everyone can safely avoid them, including Princess Aurora and Mi Lulu who joined later.
Princess Aurora and Milulu are not weak in the first place, and the princess is also a rare magician among the dwarves, which greatly increases the combat power of my fearless guild.
Especially when I learned that Princess Aurora was on par with the Ice and Fire Girl.
As long as the circumstances are not drastically different, more people are still more effective than fewer people.
In just half a day, we killed a dozen ground insects.
With such a record, I began to consider whether to take them to the next level.
Maybe the sandworms are no match for them either.
This is just my unilateral conjecture. I still need to verify the facts.
So I discussed it with Cagalli and a few others during my lunch break, and decided to start executing it after dinner.
The sandworms on the eighteenth floor are different from the groundworms on the seventeenth floor. The latter have always lived on the surface of the sand. As long as the distance is not too far and the eyesight is not too bad, they can be distinguished at a glance; the former lives on the sand. It crawls under the sand layer and swims in the sand layer. It never shows its head at ordinary times. It only pops up suddenly when hunting. It opens its big mouth, shows its fangs, and bites down hard on the prey.
Generally speaking, when sandworms eat adventurers, they won't chew them into pieces. Instead, they will swallow them directly into their stomachs, stun and roast the adventurers with powerful currents in their bodies, and then slowly digest them.
All the above are recorded in the Adventurer's Manual, the content is true, and it is actually a life-saving artifact for novice adventurers and ordinary adventurers.
However, in my guild, very few people actually read this book through. Most of them just threw it away somewhere, or simply couldn't remember that this book existed.
In order not to let people who have not read this book suffer, I have to tell everyone the content of the book before entering the portal, and ask them to remember it. Whenever there is trembling under your feet, you must pay attention. Sandworms are very likely Just a few meters below your feet.
Everyone listened absent-mindedly, staring at the portal one by one eager to try. It seemed that the battle against the ground worms gave them strong confidence, thinking that the sand worms were as weak as the ground worms. However, not long ago, they saw that the ground worms His eyes were full of fear, hey, that’s how people are, when they grow up they become proud.
After entering the teleportation gate, everywhere you look is still yellow sand.
There are no fewer adventurers on this level than on the previous level, but the difference is that the adventurers on this level prefer to get together, with dozens of them gathered together, looking wary and looking directly at the sand.
Ten seconds later, a soft clicking sound was heard not far away, the ground shook, and sand and stones jumped randomly.
I am very familiar with this phenomenon. It is a sign that the sandworm has selected a target and is preparing to launch an attack.
The elf adventurers not far away were obviously very experienced, and they all closed their eyes and listened. After a few seconds, an elf more than ten steps away from me shouted: "Flash!"
Before he finished speaking, several elves moved with him, moving far to the side. Just as they stood firm, they heard a few soft noises. The ground where they were standing suddenly cracked, gravel collapsed, and sand flew around. Only a sandworm with a diameter of about one meter emerged from the ground. Because the elves hid in time, it jumped into the air. After its long giant body rose to more than ten meters, it finally stopped, then lowered its head and used a pair of fist-sized He looked at the adventurers around him coldly with his eyes, then let out a low cry and plunged into the sand with his head and body. After a few seconds, the sandworm sank into the sand and never saw its shadow again. However, when it came out before, it hit The large hole that emerged was filled with yellow sand within ten seconds.
From the time the sandworm emerged to the time it disappeared, less than a minute passed. Everything was calm again, without any changes, and it was impossible to tell that a giant creature had appeared here.
I looked at the place where the sandworm disappeared and said calmly: "How is it? Isn't it quite dangerous?"
There was silence behind him, no one spoke.
I turned around and saw that except for Yula, Princess Aurora, Milulu and Gordo, everyone else had frightened expressions on their faces.
After a while, Billy was the first to speak: "Well, then, I think he has a lot of experience with earthworms, right?"
Zach looked confused, not knowing whether to agree or refute.
Susan hugged Belle, who was shaking with fear, and said, "Is this bug really something we can defeat now?"
Jackson glanced at the big shield on his arm and suddenly sighed: "My shield is useless against this thing."
Cagalli stood silent and didn't speak, and the Ice and Fire girls stood on both sides of Cagalli and didn't speak.
Phoenix walked up to me quietly, blocked my arms with both arms, and leaned forward with his whole body. His plump breasts and delicate body were trembling slightly. It seemed that the ferociousness of the sandworm was very lethal to Phoenix.
Yang Jiu said at this time: "Xiaoyi, will the sandworms attack single individuals first?"
I understand what he means. If the sandworm attacks a single individual, he can release the puppet to hook it up. When the sandworm shows its true form, everyone will attack together and kill the sandworm.
This is a good strategy, but unfortunately, the sandworm's targets are randomly determined.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Princess Aurora said: "Actually, the sandworm is not that difficult to deal with. As long as you dodge its attack, you will have a few seconds to attack it."
"Yeah," Yura agreed, "I used to kill sandworms with my team. In fact, sandworms are also a very easy monster to deal with."
Two women cheered up, and the team's morale recovered somewhat, but it was still sluggish.
His eyes swept over everyone, and finally settled on Mi Lulu's face. Seeing her calm face, he must have fought against sandworms before, so he asked knowingly: "Mi Lulu, have you ever fought against sandworms?"
Mi Lulu nodded: "Fighted."
I asked her again: "What do you think?"
Mi Lulu carried the battle ax and said domineeringly: "Although it is long and hard, it was finally cut off by my giant axe!"
