Chapter 108

The undead don't eat, and if they don't use acid or venom as their means of attack, they don't need to secrete this kind of stuff.

According to Lu Lin's introduction, the main means of attack of this worm is to drag people into the mud and suffocate them in the ground. I think there is really no need for something like this in its stomach.

"Well, how does it feel?" Lan Jie asked.

"Well... very subtle," Jack Zhengyi said, "The flesh and blood of this thing are cold, just like being put into a leather bag, very stuffy and hot, and it will be a little uncomfortable when being dragged away, but generally it's okay... No, why are you asking me? Don't you know if you try it yourself?"

"Ah? Should I try it again?" Lan Jie was embarrassed.

"Nonsense, we will officially take action tonight, of course we have to try it," Jack Zhengyi said.

"No, I don't think it's necessary..."

However, before Lan Jie finished speaking, the worm buried its head and swallowed Lan Jie into its stomach in one gulp.

Chapter 177 Free mud bath, this is not a great enjoyment

That night, the tourists received a notice.

The venue for the dinner today has changed. The lunch hall will serve a full meal, there will be a barbecue party near the hot spring, and the breakfast hall will serve special theme dishes.

The tourists seemed very happy to receive this notice.

In their opinion, this is a welfare activity organized by the city lord.

Not only have the dishes to choose from increased, but even the three entertainment venues are not closed, so they naturally have no dissatisfaction.

Only Lu Lin and others know that this arrangement is entirely because of the arrival of the Tianri Sect. The banquet hall of the city auditorium is used to receive the people of the Tianri Sect.

"But the dinner is suspended, which means that at least during this period, they will not continue to count the number of people, right?"

In the small room, Si Li sat on the sofa, shaking a glass of iced drink in her hand.

At this moment, the coffee table is full of various dishes, and Li Mi is sitting on the side and showing off his meal silently.

Before, it was not allowed to ask the waiters here to move all the food to the small room, but after the Tianri Cult came, even the small room delivery service was unlocked, which gave the three people a convenient chat environment.

"It seems that as long as the Tianri Cult is here, our city lord will not hold a cleansing. In this case, there is no need to count the number of people."

Lu Lin said while cutting the steak on the plate.

"But considering that the number of tourists will continue to increase during this period, it is estimated that as soon as the people from the Tianri Cult leave, they will immediately start to clean up the tourists. Of course, this has nothing to do with us. After all, we are actually acting with the Tianri Cult."

"That's good. I don't really want to participate in this so-called cleansing and test," Si Li drank a sip of iced drink.

"How are the two over there now?" Lu Lin said, placing the cut steak in front of Li Mi.

"They..." Si Li closed her eyes, and after a while, she slowly said, "Well, it seems that they are trying to persuade some idiot."

"Brother, we have limited time, and we may be discovered at any time. Can you move faster?" Jack Zhengyi looked at Lan Jie helplessly, "Isn't it just burrowing in the ground? You are a ground spirit, how can you be so cowardly?"

"I am a ground spirit, not a flesh spirit," Lan Jie said bitterly, "It feels so bad to be in the stomach of that thing..."

"It will pass if you bear it, it won't really eat you, hurry up," Jack Zhengyi urged, "If someone comes, it will be a big problem."

"Alas, I know that too," Lan Jie said, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, and raised his head to drink the magic potion prepared by Si Li.

Jack Zhengyi seized this opportunity and immediately controlled the worm to swallow Lan Jie in one gulp. With the screams from the echoing elves, the worm directly dragged Lan Jie into the ground.

Jack Zhengyi looked at the ground that had temporarily turned into a swamp and swallowed his saliva.

Speaking of which, he suddenly thought of something.

Although he had been swallowed by the worm before, and his body was very clean when he was spit out.

But that was on the ground.

When the worm was walking in the swamp, would the mud pass through its mouth and through its body...

Hmm...

Feeling.

It's really hard to say.

However, as long as we wait, we should know the result.

Jack Zhengyi didn't know the situation underground, so the order given to the worm was to find an underground hole. When it found a suitable hole, it should spit out Lan Jie.

At that time, they would naturally enter the space under the city.

However, the waiting time seemed to be much longer than Jack Zhengyi imagined. He waited for nearly half an hour before Lan Jie's voice came again in the echoing elf.

"Pfft...Pfft, ah, damn, so much mud, and all silt, ah, God, I almost thought I was going to die down there."

"Hey, it sounds really miserable."

Silly's voice sounded with some mockery.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long..."

Jack Zhengyi was also a little embarrassed, in fact, he was just worried about whether something would happen.

"So, what kind of place are you in now?" Sili asked.

"Well...how should I put it, it looks like the end of an underground passage, and it looks like it's not finished."

Underground, Lan Jie stood up with the help of the mud wall and looked at the passage in front of him.

"Except for the end where I am, the floor and walls of the entire passage are made of rock. Maybe because of this, the worms were unable to drill in from the middle of the passage."

"I see, it seems that they have successfully entered the underground structure," Sili's voice came again.

"Okay, then you stay there and don't move, I'll go there soon," Jack Zhengyi said, and with a thought, he called the worm back.

"Damn it, do I have to wait for you here for an hour?" Lan Jie looked at the passage leading to nowhere in front of him, his face was subtle, "Is it sure that nothing will suddenly drill out of this place?"

"If something drills out, chop it, don't hesitate, the creatures enslaved by the necromancy will not be too closely connected with the main body, otherwise the necromancer will blow his head off when summoning the sea of ​​skeletons," Sili's voice came, "Don't worry too much, the city lord should be busy dancing with the master of the Tianri Sect now, and he should have no time to care about you."

"No, my master can't dance..." Jack Zhengyi's mouth twitched.

At the same time, Lu Lin noticed Si Li's upturned mouth corners, and curiously asked what happened.

After Si Li told Lu Lin that Lan Jie had entered the underground space, Lu Lin was relieved.

In any case, at least the first step has been successful.

With the strength of Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi, as long as the old master can contain the body of the lich, there should be nothing that can threaten these two people.

But just when Lu Lin thought so, an accident happened.

Perhaps because it only takes a straight line to come back, Jack Zhengyi's worm only took ten minutes to return to his side.

Then, Jack Zhengyi did not hesitate, drank the potion, got into the worm's stomach, ran the golden light to protect his body, and plunged directly into the ground.

He thought he would have to stay in the ground for half an hour like Lan Jie.

Or, even if the worm knew the road, it should take more than ten minutes to send him to the underground space.

But he didn't expect that the worm spit him out in just two minutes.

And what appeared in front of him was actually the same underground passage as Lan Jie.

As for the situation where he was, Ye Ye was the same as Lan Jie described, like an unfinished underground passage, with mud all around.

"Huh? We got there so soon? But..."

Jack Zhengyi frowned slightly, and immediately used the Echo Elf to ask where Lan Jie was.

Lan Jie was confused when he heard this question, saying that he stayed where he was and didn't move at all.

But there was clearly no sign of Lan Jie around Jack Zhengyi.

Considering the huge difference in the time the worms took to travel in the ground twice.

Jack Zhengyi suddenly thought of a possibility.

They might have been sent to two different entrances in this underground passage.

Chapter 178 Dedication, Endless and Extreme Love and Hate

After learning that the two were sent to two different entrances by the worms, Lu Lin and Si Li were a little troubled.

This situation was indeed beyond their expectations.

But thinking about it carefully, this is normal.

After all, Cloverfield's swamp corpse worms are only intermediate undead puppets, not advanced puppets.

In addition, the intelligence level of the undead creatures is not very ideal, and this corpse worm has no brains at all. It relies on instinct to find the underground entrance. If there are multiple entrances, it will go wherever it wants.

Now think about it, this thing can't take two people at a time. As long as there are multiple entrances underground, the two people can't get together, which seems to be a high probability event.

And judging from the time difference, the passages where Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi are located are likely to be far apart. At this time, even if the worm takes Jack Zhengyi back to the underground and finds the entrance again, it is unlikely to find the entrance where Lan Jie is.

"What should we do? Is there any way for us to meet?" Lan Jie asked using the echo elf.

"I can't think of a way at the moment," Jack Zhengyi answered honestly, "Witch, what about you?"

"I'll ask the alchemist for you... uh, he said he didn't think it through, and it seems that there is nothing he can do now."

After this, everyone was silent.

Because of the previous battle with the Holy Church, they always thought that Lu Lin was a master who had planned everything, but they didn't expect that this plan would have an accident.

However, it seems that Lu Lin can't be blamed.

After all, he didn't know the situation underground before. If the outer walls of these passages were not extremely luxuriously sealed with polished stone bricks, the worms would not have to find the end of the road to let people out.

If the worms did not specifically search for the end of the road as an entrance, their final destination would not be so far off.

It can only be said that sometimes, man's plans are not as good as God's plans.

"But... Actually, you don't have anything to worry about, right?"

At this time, Si Li's voice came again.

"With the strength of the two of you guys, even if you encounter any danger, at least you can run, right? Anyway, you are now in the underground facility, why don't you just investigate together? Maybe you will meet him while walking?"

When the two heard it, it seemed to make sense.

Anyway, Jack Zhengyi's master is staying in the city now. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to support it. They just need to investigate. If there is any problem, it will be left to the master to solve.

Thinking of this, the two no longer hesitated, kept communicating, and began to move along the passage.

They took every step carefully, always alert to their surroundings, for fear of encountering any monster that might get stuck or suddenly appear.

But the further they walked, the more they found that there seemed to be nothing here, just a continuous passage.

There were no forks, no traps, no monsters, and even the floor and wall styles remained the same.

Hearing the information from the two, Si Li frowned.

This kind of underground building is obviously rare.

If the builders were not just building it for fun, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that these passages are actually unfinished facilities, and perhaps they will be expanded on both sides and built with some rooms.

The other possibility is that these passages are not actually roads for people to pass through, but part of a large magic array of some city-level scale.

If the first possibility is true, then isn't the amount of work too big?

Except for a few races with an affinity for the earth, most people find it difficult to accept living in the dark underground for a long time. It is really hard to imagine what they are going to use such a large underground project for.

But if it is the second possibility, there should not only be roads, but also corresponding functional components...

Just when Si Li was thinking about this, she heard Lan Jie's voice.

"Huh? What is this?"

"Hmm? What did you find?" Si Li asked hurriedly.

"Uh... an empty room with a huge statue inside," Lan Jie replied.

"What kind of statue is it?" Si Li asked again.

"It's hard to describe, like... a cow caught in a whirlpool?" Lan Jie said uncertainly, "The limbs are twisted by the whirlpool, and there are twisted spirals on the back, but it seems that it is carrying the huge spiral, which is connected to the zenith. As for the bull's head... it looks a little scary, but it seems very calm, uh... that's about it? I'm not sure how I describe it."

"Cow? Spiral?" Si Li frowned slightly, "Could it be Metaudes carrying the Pillar of the World? Dedication totem?"
