They were attacked by fire.
These tide worms didn't scatter like they usually did.
Instead, they huddled together tightly. They looked stupid on the surface, but their true intention was to protect … What were they protecting? Could it be the new generation of Tide Worms that Mr. Wood mentioned that could evolve under hostile conditions or had already begun to evolve? If they could evolve into the next generation that was not afraid of fire …
"Damn it, there's a Stealth Wing Worm, it's a Stealth Wing Worm. Everyone, leave!" The soldier in charge of security shouted.
"Let's go!" Seeing dozens of Stealth Wing Worms over two meters long crawling over, they seemed to be attracted by the scent of the Tide Worms. He did not care about the truth anymore and quickly ordered the team to leave.
After walking for less than eight hundred meters.
In front of them, there was a five-meter long Mudflat Leech lying lazily. Around it were strange holes of different sizes.
These holes were the ventilation holes for the Bone Wrist Worm or Iron Wrist Worm to the surface.
It was obvious.
This Mudflat Leech was waiting for its prey. It was hunting for the Bone Wrist Worm or Iron Wrist Worm that was hiding underground.
If it was any other time, Am Mu would have led his men around the hungry Tidal Leech without hesitation. However, they couldn't do it now. It was easy to go around it, but the surrounding underground would definitely be filled with Bone Cavity Sandworms that were scared away by the Tidal Leech. If they went around it, who knew if a Bone Cavity Sandworm would crawl out of the ground and bite off their foot if they stepped on it. The Bone Wrist Worm did not dare to show its head because of the Mudflat Leech. If someone walked above, it would be perfect for them to vent their anger!
They could not go in front, nor could they go around it.
There was still a Stealth Wing Worm behind them.
"Fire, give it a fire. When it curls up, we will leave immediately! Be careful not to get close to it. A fire might not kill it! " Amu waved his hand and gave an order. Before his team members could take action, the exploration team members beside Evans picked up flamethrowers and sprayed them at the Mudflat Leeches on the ground. The blazing flames burned the skin of the Mudflat Leeches, causing them to sizzle. The Mudflat Leech rolled on the ground. Its huge body twisted and turned, sweeping the mud and stones on the ground. The controlled flames did not stop, afraid that it would not die. Only when the Earth Leech's body was scorched black, withered, and hardened, close to being carbonized did the exploration team member announce to stop.
"Quickly leave, those Stealth Wing Worms are not full yet, they are coming this way! Hurry up! "Walker, who was in charge of security, shouted again.
"Everyone, we've already cleared the obstacles!" Adam didn't have time to make any brilliant remarks.
He was forced to run forward.
He ran until he was out of breath.
Amu and White were in charge of guarding the rear. As they slowly retreated, they scanned their surroundings.
When Amu sensed that there was nothing wrong and was about to follow the team, he suddenly heard White's teeth chattering. His voice was also trembling because of fear. "L-L-Captain, d-d-d * mn it. Oh, oh, oh, God …"
Amu followed White's gaze and found that he was looking at the completely charred mudflat leech.
The charred Mudflat Earth Leech did not move at all.
Now, it suddenly moved.
The squirming became more and more intense.
"He's still alive after being burned like this? It's impossible in the past! " This was not the first time Amu had used flames to burn these Mudflat Earth Leeches that liked to crawl on the ground lazily. These large underground leeches were very afraid of fire. They would run away in fear at the slightest flame. Although they had a strong life force and could continue to live after being cut in half or cut into pieces, under normal circumstances, they would die completely as long as the surface of their bodies was charred by fire.
"God, oh, oh, God, it's really alive. It, it, it evolved!" White trembled as he watched.
There was a smack.
A brand new Mudflat Earth Leech crawled out from the charred corpse. Its body was much smaller, and its appearance had changed greatly. Not only did it grow two strange tentacles that could be retracted and retracted at the bottom of its mouth, but on the front half of its body, there was also a strange shell that was slightly transparent like a prawn's shell. The originally round tail with suction cups had become a sharp cone. It looked hard and sharp, like a scorpion's tail, but it did not have a ball-shaped venom sac or barbs. If it was not for the two symbolic red stripes on the side of the Mudflat Earth Leech's body that had not changed, Amu would not have been able to confirm that it was originally a Mudflat Earth Leech.
The Mudflat Earth Leech that never knew how to burrow into the ground broke through the ground at a terrifying speed under Amu and White's gaze. In less than ten seconds, the huge body that was more than four meters long disappeared from the ground …
Mr. Wood was right!
There was a loud bang in Amu's mind!
If this wasn't evolution, then Amu didn't know what was!
Heavens!
If possible, he really wanted to dig out the evolved Mudflat Earth Leech and stuff it into the mouths of those bullsh * t experts!
"Can, can we still go back alive?" White looked at Amu in shock. He was extremely nervous. "Captain? Should we continue forward? We are sending ourselves to death! Captain, terrifying worms that have evolved ten times are waiting for us in front. Damn it, what awaits us is a bloody massacre! In order to prove to those experts that Mr. Wood was wrong, we have to f * cking give up our lives! What about them? They are sitting in their offices in suits and talking sh * t in front of the camera! Mr. Wood would never lie. He has no reason to lie to us poor worms! God, why do we have to question him? Why do we have to use our lives to prove to others? Forget about the more terrifying worms, even the angry Mudflat Earth Leech will not let us go. God, we all have to die! We all have to die! "
"Calm down, White, calm down. If you don't calm down, you will die even faster! Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. I will report the situation immediately. Look around and f * cking stand still. Don't tremble. If you continue like this, all of us will die because of you! Look at the ground. If there is any movement, shoot. Don't let the Mudflat Earth Leech come out from the ground to attack us! Attention, everyone! Stay alert! Get close to me! Comrades, we may be in big trouble. But please believe me, I will bring you back. I promise I will bring you home. Come close to me! Now! " Amu also realized that the Canyon of Death today was not the same as before. If they went any further, it would not be possible, but a hundred percent annihilation.
"What's going on?" Sancho and Evans noticed the strange movement of the soldiers.
"More sandworms? Quick, quick, quick! Look, the ground is wriggling. There should be a sandworm there. My God, I have found you at last! " Adam was so excited that he was about to jump up. He pointed to the wriggling ground and signaled the cameraman to hurry up.
The members of the two exploration squads nervously took up their guns and aimed at the wriggling ground.
Evans and Sancho leaned their backs against each other.
They were on guard against each other.
The soldiers ran to Captain Amu at full speed.
They found the wriggling ground all around them.
"Good heavens! I can't believe we've run into a nest of sandworms. There aren't so many here, but I'm afraid there are hundreds of hungry sandworms down there!" Walker was frightened out of his wits.
The ground was now boiling like boiling water, and innumerable sandworms were madly rushing out of the ground.
They fell to the ground with a pitter patter.
These hideous and greedy creatures did not attack the humans as they usually did. In Adam's astonished gaze, they were like a flock of sheep being chased by a ferocious beast, crawling and jumping in horror, jumping up and down from time to time, clumsily and hideously fleeing into the distance. The cameraman hastily recorded the scene, and transmitted it by satellite data to millions of people in front of their televisions.
Adam was as excited as the crowing of a rooster, shrieking at the top of his lungs.
He did his best to exaggerate the atmosphere.
"One, two, three, so many sandworms are flying out of the ground. Ha, ha, ha, look at their hideous behavior! I dare say penguins walk faster than them. Won't they fall to their deaths by jumping like idiots? I'm so worried about them! Mr. Wood, is this what you call evolution? It's wonderful. I don't know if this is evolution, but I want to say that even if it is, they are still a trillion years away from us humans! Look, there's another one over there. Oh my, it's so fat. It's so fat that it can't jump! It's vomiting. Is that its breakfast? Disgusting, it's actually vomiting! Bro, you have to lose weight. Otherwise, you won't even have the strength to run away! Oh, oh, oh. In order to escape, it vomited out the food in its stomach. Then what is chasing it? Mr. Evans, I need you to give me an accurate answer now! Are these sandworms running for their lives? Or are they excitedly going to the blind date? I've heard that when they mate in a group, they gather together in a group. What's the situation? Our audience can't wait to know the truth! " Adam excitedly handed the microphone to Evans, not noticing that the other party's face was as dark as a dark cloud.
"Let's get out of here!" Captain Evans was still professional.
"What?" Adam didn't understand.
"I mean, let's get out of this damned place!" Captain Evans took the money, but that didn't mean he would die here.
He and Sancho, each on one side, picked up Adam as if he were a chick, and dragged him all the way to the Captain of Arms. As for their men, almost all of them had run away. The cameraman was the boldest. He kept shooting as he walked. Although he was aware of the danger, he wouldn't drop his camera until he saw the enemy.
The movement on the ground was getting louder and louder.
It was wriggling.
It became a vibration.
The last one to emerge from the ground was the bone-cored sandworm, which had to vomit its food before it could run away. It was the slowest, far behind its companions.
Em and the others saw a mound of earth rising from the ground towards the sandworm.
"Shoot! Shoot there!" Adam shouted desperately to the cameraman.
"Boom!"
The mound of earth caught up with the sandworm at an amazing speed. With a boom, the ground burst open. Mud and stones flew everywhere. A monster rushed out from the ground and knocked the sandworm into the air. The moment it rushed out of the ground, the monster opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the sandworm, which was more than five meters long, into its mouth full of sharp teeth.
It swallowed its prey in the air.
Before Em and the others could react, the monster plunged into the ground again. Its huge body, which was more than four meters long, easily drilled into the hard ground. The whole time it took to hunt and drill into the ground was less than five seconds.
"It's faster!" Amu swallowed hard.
The Mudflat Leech, which didn't know how to drill into the ground and could only wait for an opportunity on the surface, learned how to drill into the ground, and then learned how to hunt underground.
Not only did it successfully evolve, but it also evolved at an incredible speed.
It was beyond imagination.
Em didn't even need to guess to know that the Mudflat Leech's next prey would be humans … Hunting the sandworm was just practice. The Mudflat Leech's real target must be the human enemies that burned it with fire! Maybe in the next second, or maybe it would be more patient and wait for a good opportunity. If the team continued to stay here, Em believed that it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out!
"Everyone, listen up! Retreat to the platform immediately! Everyone pay attention to where you are. If there's any movement, alert your teammates immediately and shoot at any suspicious targets! "Em ordered, pretending to be calm.
"Our filming has just begun." Adam didn't want to go back just like that. This was the real exciting moment, okay? If no one died during the exploration, how could they drive up the ratings? As long as they weren't the unlucky ones who died, it didn't matter at all! The monster had just appeared, and they had to go back. Then what was the point of watching TV? This was a live broadcast, they couldn't let it spoil the fun!
Em looked at him without saying a word. Adam guessed that if he said another word, this guy would take out his gun and shoot him, so he quickly shut up.
Adam quickly went to Evans's side.
First, he asked for his protection. Second, he asked quietly, "What is that monster?"
Evans shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe it's some kind of underground creature that hasn't been discovered yet. But it looks a little familiar, maybe it's some kind of mutant leech that can burrow into the ground! Or maybe it's some kind of giant soft-shelled tide worm or something like that. Anyway, there aren't many normal creatures here! "
Adam asked, "Is the situation dangerous now?"
Sancho hesitated. "Maybe not, because the underground creatures in Death Canyon have already formed a food chain. Their main prey is still their original prey. Under normal circumstances, humans are not on their menu. There are a lot of underground creatures that don't understand us at all. They have no interest in us unless they're extremely hungry. The monster just now has already hunted, which means that it won't hunt again for a while! Of course, there are exceptions, but most underground creatures won't take the initiative to attack us! "
Adam handed over the microphone. "Under normal circumstances, what would you do in such a situation?"
An adventurer next to him wanted to liven up the atmosphere because of fear, so he joked, "We'll keep an eye on the ground. As soon as it pops its head out, we'll reward it with a grenade. Eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hole suddenly burst in the ground about ten meters to the side.
The monster poked its head out of the ground and peeked its head out.
Its tentacles shrank in the air.
"Grenade, grenade! Quick, reward it with a grenade! Eat!" Adam was wild with joy as he shouted at the adventurer.
"Damn it, it's scouting our position. Quick, quick, run!" The adventurer saw this and was so scared that his liver trembled. He immediately ran. He wasn't the only one who was scared. Everyone else was fighting to be the first to run! It was impossible to run faster than the monster, but it didn't matter as long as they ran faster than their companions!
