In the following days, Dean didn't dare to eat the flesh of the Aragami, so as not to stimulate the golden sarcoma in his right shoulder. Without the flesh of the Aragami, Dean also lost his source of food. Fortunately, Aisha's wound was healing fast. It would take at most one or two days for her to be completely healed, and then they could leave this place. If it took longer for her to heal, it would take four or five days. He had to consider whether he should make an exception and get the "food" from Amelie.
Seeing that the day of leaving the cave was approaching, Dean also began to prepare. He took the sealed jar that was used to suffocate the worm from Amelie, and came to the edge of the pool of silver mucus. When he was two meters away from it, the mucus slightly squirmed, as if it sensed the smell of life. From the edge, a finger-thick silver mucus protruded and stretched towards Dean's feet.
Dean's eyes were dignified. The difference between the crystal worm and the other worms was not only in physique, but also in ability and vitality. Even the black giant worm of the pioneer level would die when its body was cut from the middle. However, the crystal worm maintained a terrifying vitality even in the state of melting into mucus. It seemed that as long as it got fresh flesh and nourishment, it could recover again.
Moreover, these days, Dean thought about a problem that he had neglected. The remains of the Aragami were well preserved, so what did these worms eat in this bare stone cave?
This pool of mucus had been here for several days, and it hadn't eaten anything. Could it be that it could maintain a long feeding time without moving?
Dean opened the sealed jar and put it on the ground in front of his feet. Then he picked up the sword and stabbed it into the silver mucus. It felt like stabbing into a piece of unobstructed water, and the tip of the sword directly pierced into the soil.
Dean moved quickly, but found that the characteristics of the mucus were very similar to water. No matter how he cut it, in the blink of an eye, it would stick together again, and it could still squirm.
No matter how sharp the sword was, it couldn't cut soft water.
Dean saw that he couldn't hurt it, so he simply changed the method and moved it into the jar.
Fortunately, the mucus was soft like water, so it was easy for Dean to move it. Although the process was a bit cumbersome, and he didn't have a spoon or other suitable tools, but relying on the wider sword, Dean smoothly moved the mucus around the jar. He split a pit next to the jar and moved the mucus into it. The mouth of the jar was just level with the ground, and then he moved the mucus into the jar.
During this process, silver tentacles stretched out from the mucus from time to time and tried to grab Dean, but they were blocked by Dean's sword and sank back into the mucus.
Half an hour later, the pool of silver mucus was all put into the jar. When the last bit was put into the jar, Dean did not wait for it to climb out again. He quickly covered the jar and crushed it.
Dean clearly felt the vibration inside the jar after the jar was crushed. The jar gently shook, but the strength was not strong. The impact lasted for a while and then stopped.
Dean pulled out the jar and put it aside. He didn't open it to check. He didn't care whether it was dead or alive. If the conditions were good, he would like to use it to study. But in his current situation, it was good enough to take this thing away from here.
Although the crystal worm was big, but there wasn't much mucus after it melted. It was as if it was concentrated, and only the size of a basketball could fit it. It saved a lot of space for Dean.
After storing the crystal worm slime, Dean looked at the Aragami that was embedded in the rock wall. He felt that there was something strange about it, but he couldn't tell what it was. However, the most important thing to consider right now was how to take this thing away.
The Aragami was nearly ten meters tall, so it was naturally not feasible to carry it away. Moreover, the smell of the Aragami could attract terrible things from the abyss. So it must be packed in a sealed bag or box, just like the pieces of Sylvia's meat that he carried with him.
He stood in front of the Aragami and looked at her from both sides. He estimated the thickness of the Aragami's body. He silently calculated in his mind. His backpack was three meters high, two meters thick and two meters wide. It was one of the largest backpacks that he used for hunting outside the giant wall. If he were to put the Aragami into the backpack, it would naturally not be able to fit. However, he was considering whether he could cut her into pieces, process her into neat pieces of meat, and then stack them in the backpack.
However, looking at the thickness of the Aragami's body, especially the size of the lower body, it was a bit difficult for him to fit the Aragami with the capacity of his backpack.
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to keep the complete body of the Aragami for the time being. He didn't want to destroy it. It was a big headache for him to leave this place.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Aisha's injury had finally recovered completely. Dean didn't cut the entire Aragami. He only cut off a part of the Aragami that was similar to a spider's leg and put it in the backpack. Then he took Amelie and Aisha to explore the outside of the cave.
After leaving the depths of the cave, Dean returned to the passage. He suddenly found something strange. The huge Aragami's body that he had cut off was only fragmented pieces. The whole passage seemed very empty. When he rushed out of the passage, the Aragami's body was piled up to half a meter high. It was almost impossible to step on it.
Dean frowned as he looked at Amelie: "What happened?"
Amelie blinked her eyes and said innocently: "How would I know?"
"You ate it?" Dean squinted his eyes. He noticed that Amelie's physique had reached the level of a pioneer. Such a speed of improvement was like riding a rocket. He suspected that if he let her eat more, she could directly become an abyss walker in this cave!
Amelie rolled her eyes and said: "Even if I were a pig, I wouldn't be able to eat so much! When I came to get it, I found that a lot of Aragami had disappeared. Every time I came to get it, I saw that a lot of them had disappeared. I guess they had crawled out of the passage to hide. "
Dean slightly frowned and glanced at the depths of the passage. Indeed, he hadn't seen Amelie leave the cave many times in the past few days. Even if she ate day and night, she couldn't eat so many Aragami. Moreover, although she had adapted to the Aragami, she wasn't very willing to eat it. Her appetite was limited.
He stepped into the passage and slowly moved forward. He found that the number of Aragami was getting less and less. When he reached the passage that he had used to block the passage with coal, he found that the ordinary Aragami that he had killed had disappeared. The ground was very empty. There were only some Aragami that were as thick as a finger in the cracks of the rock wall. They were crawling weakly inside.
Dean slightly raised his eyebrows. This situation was a bit strange. Did other villagers come in?
But there was no smell of others here.
He pondered for a moment and continued to move forward along the passage.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a large dent on the ground. It was about half a meter wide and seemed to have been made by something circular. He squatted down and touched the dent. It was sticky. He took a sniff and realized that it was the mucus of a desolate worm.
