Meng Chao knew that many of the invertebrate annelids had powerful regenerative abilities.
But he did not expect that such a huge Primordial Sandworm could grow a new head at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No, not just one …
The Crystal Hedgehogs spun and shone as if they had gone mad. They fired death rays at the ancient Sandworm and continuously destroyed its head.
However, from the depths of its wounds, scarlet tentacles kept popping out, turning into brand-new heads and mouths time and time again.
Every time the body that was exposed on the ground was completely blown up, it would arch again and again, and a new body would emerge from the ground.
It was as if the ancient Sandworm was dozens of kilometers long, and the part that was exposed on the ground was just the tip of the iceberg.
Many of the military buildings turned their cannons to target the ancient Sandworm that had popped out of the city center.
Since they had to attend to one thing and lose sight of another, the firepower aimed at the defense line at the perimeter of the city was naturally weakened.
When they faced the monster horde, the Death God's Scythe could no longer swing.
The horde of monsters rushed to the crystal shields with an unstoppable force and rammed into them at the highest speed possible.
The crystal shields swayed because of their attacks. The spirit flames in them flickered, and intersecting cracks that looked like spiderwebs appeared on the surface.
The "spider web" spread to every corner of the shield at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, a hole was left at the center of one of the crystal shields due to the monsters' suicidal attacks.
A large number of monsters surged into the ancient city through the hole and started fighting in the streets against the ancient people.
Even though they were soon torn to shreds by the 3D firepower formed by the floating military buildings, they had already successfully created chaos in the city and triggered a chain reaction.
However, he had already successfully created chaos in the city, triggering a chain reaction that caused more and more Crystal Shields to be on the verge of collapsing, in imminent danger.
The ancient people could only change their strategy.
They no longer attacked the ancient Sandworm's head.
Instead, they attacked the middle part that was closer to the ground.
Just as they expected, after spirit flames shot out and a mysterious light shone, the ancient Sandworm was cut in half.
More than one hundred parts of the insect body that were hundreds of meters long crashed into the streets of the ancient city and stirred up a layer of crystalline dust.
The lower half of the insect body also gushed out more than one hundred meters tall. It spasmed and retreated underground.
However, before the ancient people could catch their breaths, a shocking change happened.
The upper half of the insect's body, which was several hundred meters long, did not die.
The wound trembled violently, and a large number of scarlet tentacles gushed out. Unexpectedly, a new head grew out.
Both ends of the insect's body opened their bloody mouths at the same time, like a hungry double-headed dragon.
Not long after the lower half of the insect's body retreated into the ground, it popped up again. The wound was blossoming like a chrysanthemum. It was also a brand-new head that was even more hideous and hungry!
As it turned out, the Primordial Sandworms were the same as earthworms. They had the ability to split into two and survive simultaneously.
Now, the "ancient person" had to face two Primordial Sandworms and three bloody mouths at the same time.
That was not all. It was as if the pain of being cut in half had enraged the Ancient Sandworm, and it finally used its second skill.
The three bloody mouths were opened to the maximum at the same time. Accompanied by a horrifying gurgling sound, the part below the head that seemed to be the seventh inch suddenly expanded into a dark red that was almost transparent.
It fiercely spat out three balls of stinky mucus.
The mucus was like a fishing net that the best fisherman had thrown out. It spread out in the air and covered an area of almost one thousand square meters, including quite a few military buildings.
The surface of the military buildings that were stained by the mucus was bubbling and letting out sizzling noises, as if they were being corroded by strong acids.
They could no longer give off the slightest hint of danger.
They could not even maintain their translucent appearance and the ability to float in the air.
Instead, they turned into gray, brittle, and cumbersome rocks that fell to the ground like meteorites.
The originally resplendent Crystal City was now covered in dust and full of holes.
It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The defense of the ancient city finally reached the breaking point.
When the dozens of military buildings in the city center corroded and ran out of spiritual energy in the battle against the Primordial Sandworms, they turned into rocks and fell to the ground. Finally, a crystal shield more than a hundred meters in length and width on the defense line at the edge of the city finally exploded.
The collapse was like a terrifying plague that quickly spread through the entire defense line.
Countless crystal shields exploded like dominoes and revealed a clear path of attack to the monster horde that filled the area.
The ancient city was done for.
It was like a warrior that had its limbs broken and its armor stripped off. It could only wait in despair for destruction to descend.
But the monsters had incredibly excited brainwaves. They rubbed against each other with their tentacles, fangs, and mandibles, and they danced in a murderous resonance.
Meng Chao sensed the ancient monsters' incredibly strong desire to kill, conquer, and devour. The feast that belonged to the victors was about to begin.
He also sensed the panic and despair of the "ancients" in the lonely city. They seemed to have never expected that the biological weapons they created and used as tools to build and protect their homes would grow to this extent, become monstrous, and go crazy.
And as a bystander who read their memories billions of years later, Meng Chao felt a strong surge of emotions.
What made him lament was that regardless of whether it was the "ancients" or the "mother", the technology, numbers, and fighting strength they displayed was something that the current Earthlings could not hope to reach. In fact, they could not even imagine it.
The universe was known as the universe, and the present was known as the universe.
There were simply too many secrets and powers hidden in the universe.
Regardless of whether it was Earth or the Other World, they were just a drop in the ocean in the endless universe. If humans limited their sights to these two tiny planets, they would be too narrow-minded and short-sighted.
And if humans cast their sights to a higher level of the universe, they could discover and inherit the power of the "ancients" or the "mother", even if it was just one-tenth of their power.
It would be enough to solve the pressing problem of preventing Dragon City from being destroyed.
With three completely different and complicated emotions, Meng Chao continued watching the show with full attention.
He saw a monster horde that looked like a huge black wave invading the ancient city from dozens of different directions, including the ground and the sky.
It was like a beautiful crystal ball that was contaminated by dozens of toxins.
Wherever the monster horde went, all the crystalline buildings lost their dazzling light and semi-transparent quality. They turned into bumpy, dark, and brittle rocks. In the end, they could not even support their own weight. They fell, collapsed, and scattered, turning into shattered stones and even sand on the ground.
Meng Chao saw some of the "ancients" still standing in the air and carrying out their final resistance.
Their bodies also became crystalline and shone like the military buildings. Spirit tattoos surrounded their bodies, and crystal spikes even grew out of them.
When they swung their arms, they shot out death rays and tore thousands of monsters to shreds.
But in the face of the monster horde that gradually enveloped the entire city, this sort of struggle was just a struggle.
The "ancients" were soon drowned out by the endless waves of monsters, and they were wrapped up into a sturdy monster ball.
Then, the monster ball exploded in the middle and turned into dazzling balls of lightning.
They were the "ancients" who knew that they were going to die. At the final moment, they detonated all the spirit energy in their bodies and used their lives to show the dignity of a civilization.
Their heroic sacrifice bought time for more of their compatriots to escape.
More civilian buildings flew to the Rainbow Stairway in the center of the city.
Under the illumination of the rainbow-like seven-colored profound light, they became more transparent, like ice melting in water.
In an instant, the civilian buildings filled with the "ancients" disappeared!
'They transmigrated!'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he immediately realized what was going on. 'These civilian buildings should be facilities similar to escape pods from the ancient civilization. When they noticed that they could no longer defend the city, the "ancients" used teleportation technology to transmigrate beyond the atmosphere or to other planets!'
This caused him to be unable to help but think. Could it be that during this primeval war, a group of 'ancients' were in a panic and had transmigrated to the primeval Earth?
If that was the case, everything made sense.
But not all the "ancients" were lucky enough to escape in time.
The "mother" had clearly noticed that the "ancients" were using teleportation technology to evacuate the entire city.
Through the wireless neural network, it immediately sent orders to the monster horde at lightning speed.
Countless monsters instantly sped up and pounced on the crystal buildings that had yet to evacuate. They stuck themselves to the walls of the buildings.
Then, the monsters self-destructed one after another.
Some of the monsters self-destructed and released a large amount of corrosive acid, which corroded the shells of the crystal buildings until they were riddled with holes.
The spirit tattoos used to create spirit energy magnetic fields to ensure buoyancy and propulsion were naturally destroyed.
Some of the monsters self-destructed and turned into fireballs. The flames shot out in a certain direction and brought with them a powerful repulsive force that pushed the crystal buildings far away from Rainbow Stairway.
Some of the monsters did not choose to self-destruct. Instead, they connected their heads and tails like monkeys trying to fish for the moon. They formed thick and powerful ropes of flesh and blood. One end was wrapped around the crystal buildings, and the other was wrapped around the huge monsters that were hundreds of meters long on the ground.
Thousands of monsters used their strength to hold back the escape capsules filled with ancient people. They did not want to let them enter the Rainbow Stairway.
Just like that, many of the crystal buildings were destroyed or dragged to the ground before they could reach the teleportation area. Then, they were devoured by the squirming monster horde.
There were also some crystal buildings that were in a stalemate with the monsters at the edge of Rainbow Stairway.
In the end, it was as if they were cut in half by an invisible blade. Half of them were teleported away, and the other half shattered like a goddess scattering petals. The "ancients" inside flew out and fell into the ancient beasts' mouths.
