"Amelie." Great priest came in front of Amelie and looked at her: "Pay attention to your safety."
"I will." Amelie took a deep breath and a serious expression appeared on her face. She slowly stepped forward and said, "Let's go in."
Dean looked at the great priest but didn't speak. He took Aisha and Amelie's hands and took the lead to enter the cave.
Other villagers lined up and were ready to enter as they came to the front of the cave.
It was dark inside the cave. The light from the top of the rock wall could not shine in, but Dean could still see the scene inside the cave through his night vision ability. The inside was full of rubble, and the rock wall was extremely smooth. It seemed to be the trace of mucus drying up.
Dean let go of Aisha and let her follow him. He held the Splitter in one hand and Amelie's shoulder with the other. He slowly walked in.
It was extremely quiet inside the cave, but if one listened carefully, one could hear a very slight sound of friction. This sound was slippery and made one feel disgusted, as if something sticky was rubbing against one's body. He stared into the depths of the cave and could not see any heat source, but he could tell from the subtle sound that there was something not far ahead.
He didn't dare to be careless as it was the first time he faced a Wild Worm. He used his x-ray ability to the extreme and soon saw that there were a few finger-long worms squirming in the rock wall about seventy or eighty meters away.
The worm looked like a shellless snail. There was a smell of mucus under its body and its whole body was smooth. It seemed that it didn't have any attack power.
"Is this a Wild Worm?" Dean slowly walked over with Amelie. When they were about ten meters away from the worms, they seemed to be alarmed. They raised their heads like vipers and turned to look at Dean's position. The next moment they crawled out of the nest. They crawled like caterpillars. But every time they crawled, their body was stretched to about half a meter. The speed of their wriggling was very fast. They would arrive in front of Dean in ten seconds.
"Wild Worms!" There was a trace of panic on Amelie's face when she saw the worms wriggling over. She gritted her teeth and said to Dean: "Attack! Don't let them come close! They can spit corrosive fluid!"
Dean had read about the abilities of Wild Worms in the books. Spitting corrosive fluid was just one of their abilities. Different worms could spray different liquids. Some liquids could cause frostbite, some could corrode rocks, and some could stretch their body to entangle their prey like a snake. and strangle them to death. Dean looked at Amelia and said: "I'll leave them to you."
She was not mentally prepared. After all, she had never been to the Earth Dragon Cave. She only knew about the appearance of the worm from the great priest. This was the first time she saw these ugly worms with her own eyes. As a girl, she had a natural fear of worms. If it was not for the mission in her heart, she would have turned around and run away.
However, Dean was crazy enough to ask her to attack. She didn't have any weapons with her!
"I, I, I …" Amelie's legs trembled as she looked at the worms wriggling closer.
Dean raised his eyebrows as he saw her. He didn't expect that as a goddess she couldn't even deal with a few worms. Her fighting ability wasn't as good as an average villager. After all, Priley had said that he could deal with one or two small worms at the same time. The ones in front of him were small worms.
Amelie was scared as the insects were getting closer and closer. Dean no longer counted on her. He picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them out. The stones flew out almost at the same time but they were aimed at several insects in different positions.
All of them were hit!
However, after the stones hit the worms, they quickly sank. Two of the stones accurately hit the heads of the two worms, which were wriggling forward. Their heads were directly smashed, but the next moment, the stones sank into their bodies, and their heads quickly recovered and continued to wriggle toward Dean.
Dean slightly raised his eyebrows. As the books said, ordinary physical attacks were ineffective against them.
He stepped out and turned his wrist slightly. A few black lights appeared in the cave, and the worms that were squirming over were immediately cut off. At the same time, the two parts of their bodies were separated by Dean. In the blink of an eye, the five worms on the ground became ten. They were like snakes with a broken tail, jumping on the ground, but there was no blood flowing out of the wounds.
"Go and catch them." Dean ordered Amelie.
Amelie was relieved when she saw that the worms were severely injured by Dean. However, she still felt nauseous as she looked at their wriggling appearance. She suppressed the fear in her heart and took out a special jar from her backpack. She picked up a severed worm and quickly threw it into the jar. Then she closed the jar. She heard the jar in her hand as half of the worm was bumping into each other.
She wiped the mucus off her fingers and returned to Dean with the jar: "It will die soon. Do you want to eat it?"
"You eat it first." Dean said. He had learned about the method of using the worm from the books, Priley and other villagers. The answer he got was very consistent. It was to wash and eat it directly.
There was no need to pay attention to it. Eat it like food and then become stronger!
"I, I don't want to eat it." Amelie's face was ugly. Not to mention eating it, even looking at it would make her scalp tingle.
Dean coldly glanced at her: "Don't force me to grab a whole worm and stuff it into your mouth."
Amelie looked at Dean's indifferent expression and shuddered. She knew that when Dean used this expression to talk to her, he would do what he said. This man was definitely not a soft-hearted person. She clenched her teeth as she felt humiliated in her heart. Time passed. The scattered worms on the ground were still bouncing in the same place. Some of them gently wriggled and crawled towards Dean.
Dean used the tip of the knife to push away the worm that was crawling in front of him. He quietly waited for the worm in her hand to suffocate to death.
Yes, the worm was not afraid of sword attacks. However, it was easy to suffocate to death. In this regard, they were similar to the vast majority of creatures on earth. They had a high dependence on oxygen.
After a few minutes, the jar in Amelie's hand gradually calmed down.
"Eat it." Dean urged impatiently.
Amelie's body slightly trembled. She hesitated for a moment and slowly opened the jar. She saw half of the worm at the bottom of the jar. It was motionless. Its body had returned to the size of half a finger.
Her face was very ugly. She trembled as she stretched out her fingers to take out the worm. The sticky feeling from her fingers made her want to vomit. She instinctively wanted to look up and beg Dean. However, Dean's indifferent face flashed in her mind. She clenched her teeth and endured it. She closed her eyes and stuffed the worm into her mouth. In an instant, she felt that she was going to die. That taste, that feeling, it made her feel more pain than death!
She chewed the worm's body. The worm's body split open. It was like the internal organs had ruptured. The taste was fishy and bitter.
She felt her stomach churn. She couldn't bear it anymore and vomited. She bent over and coughed hard. She vomited all the fine meat that she had eaten before.
The thing that she vomited exuded a sour smell. Dean slightly frowned and took the jar from her hand. He picked up another struggling worm from the side and threw it into the jar. He covered the lid and waited for the worm to die while waiting for her to recover.
"Your villagers risked their lives to get this thing. Now it is in front of you. You have to know how to cherish it." Dean said to her.
How could Amili not know that these worms were incomparably precious? However, eating them was worse than killing her. She really wanted to cry. At this moment, she even wished that she was just an ordinary girl in the village, because women did not need to come to caves. This was a tradition.
Soon, she was tired and wiped her mouth. At this time, Dean handed her the jar. The worm inside was suffocated to death.
"Eat it."
There was fear in Amelie's eyes. She looked at Dean but saw his indifferent expression. She clenched her teeth and tears filled her eyes. She trembled as she opened the jar and took out the worm. The stench hit her face and she almost vomited again. But this time she gritted her teeth and held back. She threw the worm into her mouth and chewed it quickly.
This time she didn't chew much. She just chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed the worm.
The moment she swallowed the worm, she felt like she was relieved.
Dean didn't say anything as he saw her eat it. He picked up another worm and threw it into the jar.
Amelie felt like she was about to collapse as she saw Dean's action. She clenched her teeth and her eyes were full of hatred.
After a few minutes, the worm inside the jar was suffocated to death. When Amelie was ready to take it, Dean directly opened the jar. He used two slender fingers to pick up the worm and threw it into his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed it.
After eating, Dean didn't look at Amelie. He bent down and picked up another struggling worm. He stuffed it into the jar and said to Amelie: "The people behind us are coming. Let's go."
Amelie was shocked as she saw Dean's calm expression. She subconsciously looked at the remaining worms on the ground: "What about these?" She regretted as she was afraid that Dean would pick them up and let her eat them.
"Let's leave them for the people behind us. Let's go inside and see." Dean said as he used a knife to push away the worms on the ground.
