"Hurry," Lu Siya said.
"Use your instincts to guess whether this super Giant Sandworm is still as docile and harmless as before."
"Um, my instincts are telling me …"
Before he could finish speaking, the super Giant Sandworm had already spun its fangs and pounced on him.
If this were any other time and they were in a rather spacious environment, even if a sandworm was several times larger than it was, it would just be a lump of squirming flesh.
But the underground space was too small, and the tunnel was practically the size of the super Giant Sandworm. The two of them could only face its gaping mouth. They had no space to dodge.
Lu Siya's sharp sense of smell brought trouble to them. The stench caused her to be unable to focus on creating her spirit energy magnetic field, and the speed at which she executed Spike Art was much slower than usual.
Meng Chao was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He could only throw two chain sabers to buy time for Lu Siya.
The two chain sabers sank into the super Giant Sandworm's gaping mouth and hid behind its layers of fangs.
The super Giant Sandworm did not have a lot of nerves that could sense pain, and it had been modified by Spirit Creation Creatures to have thick skin. The two chain sabers were like mud in the sea, and they could not make it react at all.
Instead, it thought that food had been delivered to its mouth, and the spinning speed of its fangs increased. They bound the two chains and dragged Meng Chao into its mouth.
When he smelled the stench that came out of the super Giant Sandworm's mouth that was ten times stronger than methane, Meng Chao felt dizzy and nauseous.
He could not pull back his chain sabers, and there was nowhere for him to dodge. Under the pressure of the super Giant Sandworm, he could only retreat.
Soon, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he was pressed against the cold wall.
When she saw that the super Giant Sandworm was about to eat him, Lu Siya finally summoned her first spike.
The spike was as thick as a stalagmite and as sharp as a longspear. It pierced the super Giant Sandworm's body from below, pierced through its body, and came out from above.
It was like a thin and long nail that had pinned a huge earthworm to the ground.
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
He noticed that the super Giant Sandworm was still squirming, and it had become even more frenzied.
Its flexibility was great. Even if the bottom half of its body was pinned to the ground by the spike, the front half of its body continued charging at Meng Chao.
Meng Chao cursed under his breath.
Sandworms and other annelids had very primitive nervous systems, but after their genes were modified, they had really strong muscles. Even if certain parts of their bodies were damaged, they could still move to a certain extent.
In the most extreme situation, even if the annelids were cut in half, they could still survive on their own.
But the damage caused by a single spike was much lower than they imagined.
Whoosh!
He flicked his chain sabers, and an electric arc and a wave of flames shot through the chains into the super Giant Sandworm's mouth.
The super Giant Sandworm's feeding cavity started burning. Quite a number of its fangs were electrocuted to the point that smoke came out of them. In fact, even its brain, which was located at the fourth segment of its body, was destroyed, but it still showed no signs of stopping.
'I almost forgot. The brains of sandworm-type monsters don't control their motor and reflexes. They only control their adaptability to the environment around them and the coordination of their bodies. Even if their brains are removed, sandworm-type monsters can still eat and move around. Its real command center should be the subpharyngeal ganglion, which is the connection between the circumpharyngeal nerve ring and the ventral nerve cord!
"Giant. only that Giant's Chen King." We. the only Giant, the Giant Yang, the only the only the only I can Giant Giant.
"But this super Giant Sandworm's mutation is a mess. Where exactly is its pharyngeal ganglion?!"
Meng Chao groaned in his heart.
At that moment, Lu Siya summoned dozens of spikes and stabbed the super Giant Sandworm full of holes from all directions.
But it did not stop the front of its body from squirming nonstop at Meng Chao.
Besides, based on the increasingly stronger stench, Meng Chao could sense that it was accumulating some sort of major move.
"No!"
When the super Giant Sandworm's head swelled up, Meng Chao instinctively fell to the ground and covered his head with his hands. He wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
Thud!
The super Giant Sandworm used the super high pressure in its body cavity to shoot out the countless stone fragments it had swallowed earlier like bullets.
In an instant, the wall behind Meng Chao let out a series of cracking sounds. Hundreds of shattered stones were embedded in it, and due to the high-speed friction, smoke rose up.
If Meng Chao had not dodged in time, even if he was a two-star superhuman, a string of bloody holes would have been left in his body.
Lu Siya quickly formed seals with her hands and mumbled. She used her brainwaves, sound waves, and vitality magnetic field to speed up the creation and release of the spirit energy magnetic field.
The spikes in the super Giant Sandworm's body continued growing. They even fused together, and gradually, she managed to control the super Giant Sandworm's movements.
Meng Chao seized the chance to swing his chain sabers. His fingers turned into two balls of gray fog that struck different rhythms on the taut chains. He commanded the Surging Lightning and Bloody Flame, which were in the super Giant Sandworm's body cavity, to move around like two venomous snakes.
Finally, a subtle feedback told him that he had found the Giant Sandworm's Pharyngeal Ganglion!
Before the front of the super Giant Sandworm's body swelled up a second time, Meng Chao gritted his teeth and opened all 1,024 branch meridians. His spirit energy surged into the super Giant Sandworm's body through the chains.
As each runic symbol on the chains shone one after another, flames and electrical arcs intersected with each other, creating dazzling sparks.
The super Giant Sandworm shuddered, and a large amount of the high-pressure gas in its body cavity escaped. It looked as if it was wailing in its death throes.
In the end, a pungent and pungent burnt smell wafted into the air, and it stopped moving. Only its nerves twitched faintly.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya panted harshly.
After panting for a full half a minute, both of them vomited at the same time.
"You can't blame me."
While Lu Siya retched, she said, "I already listened to you and went back the way we came."
"I know."
Meng Chao blamed himself. He had been a little too hasty.
Since he knew that the missing sandworms in Spirit Creation Creatures might be connected to the legendary Supernatural Entities, he should not have recklessly entered the place without making any preparations.
But was this crazily mutated super Giant Sandworm one of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities from his previous life's nightmares?
Meng Chao could not be certain.
First of all, Kindling did not tell him that he had killed a second Supernatural Entity. The contribution points he gained were only the average contribution points he gained from killing Nightmarish Beasts.
Second, the strength of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities should not be too different from each other. If this thing was also a Supernatural Entity, as long as it had 80% of the White Spirit's fighting strength, Meng Chao and Lu Siya might die here.
Third, Meng Chao still found it hard to believe that such a primitive annelid could evolve to the level of a human's intelligence.
The good news was that the progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities had increased by 1%, which meant that this super Giant Sandworm was definitely related to the Supernatural Entities.
Besides, with such a large pile of evidence, they should be able to get to the bottom of the case soon.
"Next, we should send this super Giant Sandworm to the lab to check whether it is infected with the virus. But judging by its behavior, it's not just a virus, it's basically a super infected person."
Lu Siya frowned. "But how are we supposed to get it out?"
This was a major problem.
Giant Sandworms were creatures that rotted very easily after they died.
Besides, they did not have an endoskeleton that ran through their entire bodies. Even if they had modified their genes and inserted a few bone plates, they would not be able to withstand being dragged and pulled.
This huge creature was like a few subway carriages and the front of the train. It was not something the two of them could get out quietly.
"We can only ask the people from Spirit Creations Creatures for help. This has always been their property."
Meng Chao went forward and poked the trembling super Giant Sandworm. "Even if we manage to get this big monster carcass to the surface, the managers of Trash Site 4 and the monster controllers from Spirit Creations Creatures will definitely notice it. Besides, they've also implanted control chips into the biochemical beasts. Since the super Giant Sandworm fled underground, the signal is blocked, which is why they didn't notice it.
"Once this thing gets close to the surface, they might be able to locate us clearly. It has a serial number on it, so it's not a wild monster. Logically speaking, it's not our prey.
"Besides, Spirit Creations Creatures are experts in researching Giant Sandworms. They are the authorities when it comes to … such a drastic mutation and whether Giant Sandworms might be infected with mutated rabies. If we hand the super Giant Sandworm over to them for examination, they'll get the most accurate and abundant answers."
Lu Siya hesitated for a moment. "But Spirit Creations Creatures is related to this case. Even though we found needle holes in the ear canals of the two biochemical beasts, we can't prove that the pets modified by Spirit Creations Creatures are safe.
"If we hand the super Giant Sandworm over to Spirit Creations Creatures for examination, will it …"
"Are you suspecting that Spirit Creations Creatures will tamper with the examination results? Right now, they're the victims. "
"In the face of astronomical profits, any victim might instantly turn into a perpetrator," Lu Siya said.
"I don't trust anyone right now, especially Xie Xiaolei, the boss of Spirit Creations Creatures. He's really good at doing business, and he's really good at promoting and creating momentum, but he also has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He's not someone I can trust completely."
"That's simple," Meng Chao said with a smile.
"Later, I'll harvest the important organs of the super Giant Sandworm, such as its brain, nerve cords, intestines, and some of its muscles. I'll also split them into three parts.
"Then, take one of them and a rat's carcass and send it to the abnormal beast research department's lab for examination.
"As for my part, I'll hide its origins and send it to Agricultural University's lab for examination.
"As for the last part and this piece of rotten meat, I'll give it to Xie Xiaolei of Spirit Creations Creatures.
"Don't worry, I'll mess up the wounds caused by the spikes and the traces left behind by harvesting. The super Giant Sandworm rots away very quickly, so no one will notice anything wrong within a short period of time.
"If the final examination results show that the three reports are the same, then it'll be fine.
"If the results from Spirit Creations Creatures are different from the other two reports, then things will be interesting."
Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao for a long time.
Suddenly, she chuckled softly.
"I knew it. I found the right partner," she mumbled.
"So, you don't trust Spirit Creations Creatures either. You just dug a trap for them to jump into!"
